News. PORTLAND, Ind., April 27.—At 8:40
Friday morning this city was shaken as if by an earthquake, the houses rocking on their foundations. For a time all was excitement, and no one could locate the cause.
Later news was received from Bluffton that a wagon containg 720 quarts of nitroglycerin had exploded by jolting over the root of a tree, and the driver, Will Elmer, aged 25, had been literally blown to atoms. The exact details of horrible affair will never be known, as not a trace of man, horses or wagon remains, except a part of the neck of one of the poor animals.
The force of rhe explosion was terrific, windows being broken a mile away. A large gaping and ragged hole, where the wagon was passing, is the mute witness of the force of the explosion. Cattle grazing in an adjoining field were killed as if by lightning, and the debris of dirt, rock and three brandies was scattered for hundreds of yards about.

He recently escaped with his shackles and walked several miles, carrying the chains.

Dantardly Deeds of Tramps. ANDKRSON. Ind., April 27.—A mob of

It. G. Dun Company's Weekly Kevlew of Trade. NEW YORK, April 27.—R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade says: Neither the rising speculative markets nor the steady gain in industries has ceased and it is wholesome that there are fewer signs of hesitation in the productive industries than in speculative prices. Wage strikes grow more numerous and cause some trouble, and the retail demand lags behind wholesales and jobbing purchases behind production in some branches, but through many conflicting reports the fact shines out that the industries are gaining, not with a rush and a whirl, but more safely.
It is less clear that railroads are increasing their earnings or that overproduction of cotton will be incurred by the advance of 1 3-8 cents in price, or that cornering short sellers of wheat will help to market the large surplus. But revival of activity in all directions, if possible, incessive in some, helps confidence to take the throne so long held by distrust.
Cotton mills are getting more money for goods and have quite generally advanced wages. Consumption of northern spinners at the maximum would be in eight months 1,350,000 bales, but they have actually taken 1,950,000 and have a profit ou 000,000 bales, controlled of over K-1,000,000. The consumption is larger and advances seem to be war ranted.
Iron production, stimulated because ore, coke and oil products were to bo dearer, is retarded by shrinking demand for pioducts, for on the whole uew business is said to be smaller than in February or March. The structural demand for buildings throughout the country was never larger, the frenzy in oil has started a large demand for pipe and sheets at slight advance. Rails are stagnant though a shade better at Chicago wire for fencing, for nails and wire rods are so dull as to be scarcely quoted, and bar, though lifted a shade, meets no increased demand. Bessemer pig is lower and sales of southern pig in northern markets have been large at 25 cents advance. Finished products are nearly all at their lowest price.
Wool has sold at the lowest price on record this week, 16 cents for Ohio and 9 cents for Texas, and offers to clear off stocks before new supplies come forward, tempt manufacturers to purchase beyond present needs. Sales of foreign 8,117,800 pounds in three weeks of April, against. 9,292,500 domestic make the total 17,409,S00, against 15,900,100 in 1892 and less of course in 1893 and 1894.
Demand for dress goods continues large and improving but" uncertainty in men's wear goods continues and is somewhat increased by more numerous strikes. Colored flannels are 5 to 7 1-2 per cent lower, and an auction sale is to be held and some irregularity appears in prices for fine fancy goods.
Higher prices for wheat, nearly 3 cents above last week's, tend to check Atlantic exports, which, with flour included, were only 1.8(38,873 bushels for the week, against 2,(320,445 last year, though for the previous two weeks about equal to last year.
Cotton touched 7 cents, receding to 6.93 9,312,30(3 bales had come into sight last week and British exports of goods were 20,000,OoO yards less in the first quarter this year than last. With such facts the rise does not help to lessen southern acreage.
The failures for the week have been 230 in the United States againt 179 last year, and 37 in Canada against 2(5 last year.
Hung by White Caps.
SPRINGFIELD, Ky., April 27.—George Ray, a disreputable negro, was hung near Jensonton, seven miles from here, last night by White Caps. Some time ago Ray was taken from his home and unmercifully whipped and ordered to leave the country. He paid no attention to the orders, and continued his acts of lawlessness. Ray also threatened a number of prominent men whom lie charged with having a hand in the whipping. The officers had been unable to capture him until yesterday, when lie was arrested and brought to town and placed under guard. His trial was set for today. The mob was composed of unknown men.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 27.—News of a bloody encounter reaches here from I the neighborhood of Tower, in Baldwin I county.

Yesterday an oil well was shot near Olio in Fallcreek tp Hamilton county with orue hundred quarts of nitro glycerine. We have not heard the result. There are already one or two paying oil wells in Hamilton county now. As they have a capacity of 20 or 80 bariels per day. As Indiana oil is worth $ 1.10 a barrel now a 30 barrel well would produce a good income. The people of Hancock and Hamilton counties may look out for an oil boom inside the next year. As Indiana's gas field was greater than that of Ohio and Pennsylvania combined, so also will her oil field be greater than that of both states combined and millions of dollars be added to the wealth of the old Hoosier state within a few years and Hancock county will come in for a large share.
