DEATH DEALING DYNAMITE.
Terrible Explosion at Antwerp—30© People Killed—1,000 Injured.
ANTWERP, Sept. 6.— Dynamite exploded to-day in a cartridge factory in the vicinity of the bourse, killing many persons and doing much damage to property. Portions of the Bourse were struck by burning fragments and sot on lire, causing a panic in that building, which at the time was crowded.
The explosion occurred in a workshop where old cartridges^ were being taken to pieces. Men and women were actively at work breaking them up, and 25,000,000 had been partly broken up. The cartridge factory was situated behind the rocks upon which millions of cartridges were being loaded. It was adjacent to the petroleum stores, and two Large Russian warehouses were set on fire, and the fire at once spread with remarkable rapidity, until soon 80,000 barrels of oil were burning. Police, gendarmes and troops assisted in the work of extinguishing the flames, while priests and Sisters of Charity looked after the injured. The city was enveloped in a dense smoke. At 7 p. m. the fire was still raging, and covered two acres. The flames would shoot up to an immense height. Amid the roar of the flames there was a continuous succession of loud reports, supposed to have ueen the ignition and explosion of packets of cartridges. Beyond the Russian tanks there were M.merous houses burning. The shipping at the Africa and America docks was in danger.
Two hours later the fire had been ccm municated to the shipping, and many vessels had been destroyed. At that hour it was estimated that the number of deaths would probably reach two hundred, while about five hundred persons were injured. It was then certain that the loss would be many million francs, and it was thought it would be impossible to extinguish the flames in less than twenty-four hours. Owing to the intense heat the firemen were unable to .approach the flames nearer than 100 yards.
SEPT. 7.—At midnight the latest estimate is that there are 300 dead and 1,000 injured. The explosions continue. At the American docks all the ships have been saved, owing to the favorable direction of the wind. The stained window of the Cathedral are smashed, and it, is feared that the steeple will' collapse. The whole vicinity is strewn with debris. The dock-sheds and hydraulic cranes are greatly damaged. The soldiers of the gar* ison and a large number of citizens were assisting the firemen. Many are dropping from suffocation. The scenes at the hospitals are heartendcring. King Leopold has sent a telegram expressing sympathy and asking for particulars.
The explosion occurred in the Corvileian cartridge factory. This establishment had been condemned by the Communal Council, but the Deputation Permancnte had allowed work to continue, ana the people are much incensed at it. The victims are mostly factory girls. Windows three miles distant were shattered by the explosion.
The lire is still raging, all efforts of the firemen, assisted by the military and popu lance, to quell it have so far proved unavailing. At noon Saturday it ivas estimated that the number of deaths will not exceed 100. Two hundred and fifty persons were seriously an.. 1500 slightly injured. The firemen and troops were worked through the entire night on hourly shifts. Many of them succumbed to the heat and smoke, and had to be conveyed to hospitals, insensible, on stretchers. All the workers had blackened faces and bore evidences of the sickening effects of the dense smoke which cloged their efforts. Work Monday was entirely confined to keeping the lire from spreading beyond the sheds and factories within the dry-dock. The wind still continued favorable. Six million litres of petroleum arc in flames, and the oil, it is expected, will continue tc burr. at least until Monday.
At the moment- of the explosion many of the workmen jumped into the Scheldt, in their fright and were drowned. A number of suitors Hiid customs oilicers were killed ou board ships by the flying bullets, and ships were riddle*] by the missiles. It is estimated that'i,000 tons of cartridges exploded. Tho noise was heard thirty miles away. The smoke which tilled the air was greater in volume than that of a great battle. Human heads and other parts of bodies were found half a mile away from tne scene of tho disaster. One hundred and thirty whole corpses lie the morgues, and charred heaps of human re mains represent- an unknown number of dead. The first officer of the Ken Star lino steamer Zealand was terribly wounded on board his ship.
The populanee watched the flames all night. The noise of the exploding oarrels of oil and the falling of the ruins exactly resembled the sounds of a battle. Those who have been deprived of their homes by lire are encamped upon the. river banks. The water-work3, which cost £80,000. are three parts destroyed.
The Minister of the Interior has visited the scene of the explosion. 'I he King and Queen Lave telegraphed, expressing sympathy with the sufferers. Subscriptions have been opened lor the relief ot those rendered destitute bj the disaster.

TtiE PRESIDENT CELEBRATES.
He Receives an Oration from Pennsylvania People aud Makes a Speech.
The President and Mrs. Harrison attended the"01d Log College" celebration ou the old Tennent farm near Hartsville, Pa,, Thursday. The log college was established in 1726 by William Tennent and flourished until 17-12, when Princeton College was founded, aud it may be said that the Princeton institution of learning sprang up from the primitive college established by Tennent. An immense crowd was in attendance at the celebration. The President and party arrived from Washington Wednesday evening and spent the night at Mr. Wanamaker's country home at Jenkintown. Early Thursday the Presidential party started for the place where the exercises where held, driving in carriages over the old York road, a distance of about eight miles. The route which the partytraveled was profusely decorated with flags and bunting, the farm houses, fences and trees showing evidence of the peoples intention to make the President's journey memorable. At 11 :o0 the President, leaning on the arm of Mr. Wanamaker, entered the large tent and wa« given a most enthusiastic welcome. Tlicy were followed by others of the party, and all took front seats on the raised platform. The ladies of the party were dressed very handsomely, and carried beautiful bouquets. Mr. Harrison's journey had been one continual ovation. The entire eight miles of road was lined with peoplo, and cheering was frequent. The President made a brief speech, in which he said: "I have had illustrated tome hereto-day one of the consistent graces and tenets of the Presbyterian Church. Nothing, I assure you, short of the robust embodiment of the doctrine of the perseverence of the saints in the person of our distinguished brother, the Chairman, who has just introduced me, could have overcome the difficulties which seem to be in the way of those attending celebrations. I have also had illustrated to me, I regret to say, another of the results of persistent Prrsbyterianism. I never at any time promised to make any address here to-day. [Laughter.] "I never authorized anyone te say so. There are many embarrassing things to be encountered in this life, among them there is none more embarrassing than being associated on the platform or sitting at the table next to gentlemen with manuscripts in their pockets when one is not similarly provided. [Great laughter.] "I thank you for your hospitable treatment of me and mine to-day, and I must say I have much pleasure in being here, for every impulse of honest pride that stirs your hearts moves mine. I am glad to stand here at the sources of a greart movement. I have seen the Mississippi River pouring into its enormous gulf, and I have had the pleasure of standing at the source of the great Missouri but what is the force and energy implied by these rushing streams when compared with the movement inaugurated here. [Applause.] Iam glad to be here to help celebrate one Qf those great impulses springing from a small beginning, and yet how far-reaching in its results and effects. I don't want unduly to exalt the Presbyterian Church, and yet I think historians who have been untouched by partisanship testify that it has been magnificently pressed onward. Let us take no backward steps. Let us continue to merit the favor of God and do His work until the world shall cease to move. Steadfastness is our characteristic our enemies have called it obstinacy, and there are occasions when even tlAt trait and that characteristic have its services. Let us, my friends, continue to be steadfast to the faith nurtured and strengthened on this sacred spot."
In concluding his address the President said "Let me kindly thank youjfor thfe most cordial and brotherly greeting. Let me wish that this day will close as auspiciously as it has opened. Let me hope that the scholarly addresses which ycu have heard read from manuscript, will convey new thoughts to your minds, and that you will carry away from here pleasant recollections of the day's celebration."
At the close of the President's address there was a scene of wild excitement for five minutes—men and women cheering and waving handkerchiefs, and in other ways demonstrating their approval of the Chief Executive's sentiments. The Presidential party returned to Washington, Friday.
TROUBLE IN THE SOUTH.
A race war near Greenwood, Miss., of threatened large proportions, has been averted. Four negro ring loaders were killed. Troops were sent to the sceno the trouble. Dispatches of Tuesday 6ay: Upon the arrival of the troops it was learn ed that a party of about 1C0 negroes, well armed with Winchester rifles, \vere encamped near Cane Lake, a distance of six or eight miles from Minter City.
A reconnoiteriug party of citizens numbering about fifty men, was organized and proceeded to interview the belligerent blacks. After riding for some time through a dense forest of cane and vines, they ar rived at the place designated as the camp of the negroes, but to their surprise they had moved to some other place. Search wan at once instituted. Part of the men were detailed to go in different directions and make a thorough search of the entire surrounding country in order to discover their whereabouts
A party, while passing through the plantation of Mr. C. A. Lowes, came upon Adolph Horton and Jack Dial and they were commanded to surrender. Without regarding the command of the officers they drew their pistols and started to run, when they were shot down. These two were verydesperate and mischevious, and had been the principal aiders of Cromwell and Thomas in arousing the negroes of this county. Tho other leaders were killed Wednesday morning while resisting arrest. Thomas, Allen and Cromwell, the moving spirits of tho insurrection. lniv not been arrested, but the whites and the better class of negroes are determined to bring them to justice.
George Alien is the one who killed a no srro last. Sunday night on Mr. Townsend's ilantatioii for refusing to joiu his band and it is believed ho is still in this county
Cromwell Is an ex-convict and one of the principal instigators of the riot. His whereabouts at present are unknown, but there-are about seventy-fiveorone hundred men searching the woods for Allen and his accomplices, of whom there are about eight-.
A letter from Le Flore county, La., Saturday, says: Armed negroes are now scattered in squads in the swamps, and are being pursued by 300 armed white men. The negroes being refused ammunition at Jameson's store, on the Tallahatchie River, burned the buildings. A posse pursued them and about forty negroes were killed. Many negroes were killed at the other end of the parish. Govenor Lcwry 13 severly denounced by tho white people of Le Flore for not sending Cromwell back to them. They charge that Colonel Jones Hamilton, lessee of the State penitentiary, used his influence to save Cromwell, who is an exconvict.
REBELLIOUS KNIGHTS TEMPLARS.
The Iowa Controve.sy Looms Up to Mar the Festivities of tlio Triennial Conclave.
The controversy between Grand Commander Roome and the Grand Commandery of the Stato of Iowa over the adoption of anew ritual is one of the most important questions that will come before tho approaahing triennial conclave for action. The Iowa Commandery declines to follow Grand Commander Roome's order for the adoption of a new ritual, on the ground that it was beyond his power to issue such an order. Thereupon the Grand Commander declared the Iowa Knights to bo in a state of rebellion, and is interdicting all Templar intercourse with them by the Knights of other States. The Iowa Knights have made arrangements to attend the conclave next month, the Grand Recorder writing that from five hundred to eight hundred would be present from that State. This coming to the knowledge of Grand Commander Roome, he has notified the local committee on arrangements for the parade to allow no Iowa Commanderies in the procession. His order will be obeyed by the committee, and no place will be found for the Iowa Knights.
HUNG 1.000 FEET IN THE AIR.
A Lad at Portland, Ore., Involuntarily Takes a Thrilling Balloon Trip.
A very exciting incident occurred at Portland, Ore., Saturday evening. Prof. Redmond, an aeronaut, was to make an ascension in a hot air balloon. Just as the large air ship sailed skyward, a lad aged twelve years, named Eddie Hill, became entangled in the ropes attached to the trapeze. His neck got caught in a half noose and tho boy could Dot extricate himself. He clung desperately to the ropes with both hands, and by winding tliem around both arms managed to save himself from falling, and from choking to death. The balloon rose over 1,000 feet and drifted several miles away to the southeast, finally coming down as light as a feather, landing the lad without a scratch. The boy was frightened nearly to death, but soon recovered after finding himself safely on earth. Professor Redmond did not go up at all, for if he had his weight would have choked the boy to death. When he saw how the lad was caught he let go the ropes and remained on the ground. Great ex citement prevailed during the time the balloon was in the air.
INHUMAN ATROCITY.
Robbers Beat a Merchant to I»eath and Then Partially Cremaie His liody.
C. S. Walters, who kept a grocery at Sewell's Point, Va., was found murdered in his bedroom Monday morning. It is supposed that the parties called at the store and woke up Walters, and as he opened the door he was struck senseless with a club and thon beaten to death. The broken skull and mangled face plainly showed the manner of death. The murderers then robbed the store of $80 and a lot of merchandise, after which Walters's body was placed between two cotton mat tresses and set on lire. The Are burned slowly, and when tho body was found by members of the family one arm and a portion of the face was burned off. The authorities were notified, and two negroes who acted suspiciously in a boat near Sewell's Point, wore arrested, brought to Norfolk, and lodged in jail. Both had spots of blood on their clothing, and are believed to have concealed the plunder.
A SHOCKING STORY.
A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala., says: One of the "lost remarkable murder cases ever recorded in Alabama is on trial in the Fayette County Criminal Court. L. R. Smith was employed last spring as a detective. He arrested Jackson, the negro he killed, thinking he was a murderer. He afterward learned he was mistaken in his man. In order to secure his reward,Smith told the Negro he would release him if Jackson would allow him to cut off one of his ears. Jackson's ears were marked similarly to those of the negro wanted.
The negro agreed and tho ear was cut off. Smith then feared that Jackson would tray him, aud determined to kill him. He gave him the choice of hanging himself or being hanged. The negro choose the former, and while pretending to search for a suitable place made a break for liberty.
Smith fired and tho negro fell. Smith left, believing him doad. The negro lireu, however, to tell the tale, and bis dying statement is the principal evidence

JUSTICE FIELD TESTIFIES.
lie Tills of His Relations With Teiry—The Murder of Terry.
When the case of Deputy Marshal Nagle was resumed in the Federal Court at San Francisco. Friday, several witnesses who had known Judge Terry for years were examined. and their general statements were to the eifeet that Terry had never been in t*he habit of making idle threats, and was regarded as a dangerous man when his passion was aroused.
Justice Field was examined briefly. He detailed a number of occurrences previous to the killing of Judge Terry, including the decision he had rendered against Mrs. Terry a year ago and the affair in the court room at the time, which resulted in Terry and his wife being imprisoned for contempt.
In relation to the tragedy at Lathrop last month he said: "Deputy Marshal Nagle and myself entered the dining room at LattLrop for breakfast, and soon after taking our seats, Judge Terry and his wife, who were on the some train, also entered the room, and as th-cy passed down the aisle Mrs. Terry glanced at me a moment, and then turned about and left the place. Judge Terry seated himself, but arose immediately and came toward me. Before realizing what he intended to do, I felt a powerful blow on my neck. I turned around and saw Terry's giant form towering over me, with his clinched fist uparised. I then heard Nagle say: 'Stop that, I am an officer.' I then heard two pistol shots in quick succession, and saw Terry fall to the floor. I was dazed for a moment, but soon realized that Terry had received his death wound, and arose and left the room."
Justice Fields, in rcsponserto questions, expressed an opinion that if Nagle had not shot Terry, he CField) would have been dead within the next five seconds. He said the expression of Terry's face when he raised his hand to strike a second time could not be mistaken. It was full of malice and murder. Justice Field deolared that he had never had any difficulty with Terry of any nature whatever prior to the rendering of judgment in the Sharon case a year ago. In fact, they had always been on tho most friendly terms. Terry had often tried cases before him, and on entering court he always spoke to him pleasantly. During the last year or two, however, he seemed entirely changed and to have lost the respect which he formerly had for the courts. Justice Field added that the story of his having Terry to support him for President a few years ago was pure fiction.
Deputy Marshal David Nagle was ex amined Friday, and related the details of the tragedy in the Lathrop dining-room last mouth. He said that when Judge Terry approached Justice Field he had no idea he was going to make an attack, but before he could interfere Terry slapped the justice on the face with his right hand and repeated the blow with his left hand, striking the justice a second time on the back of the head. Nagle continued: "1 was on my feet in an instant, and, throwing out my right hand to keep Terry off, I shouted: 'Stop that I am a U. S. officer.' Terry then directed his attention to me. He has his right arm in position as if about to deliver another blow, and as he turned his glance upon me he looked like an infuriated beast. His clenched fist immediately sought his bosom. Believing my life was in dangei', I immediately drew my pistol with my left hand, and, catching it with my right, fired two shots in quick succession, and Terry fell t.o the floor. I believe Terry would have cut me to pieces, and perhaps Justice Field, if I had not acted promptly. He looked like a maddened giant. I knew he had always carried a knife, aud I believed he had one on him then. I knew him to be a giant in strength, and proposed to take no chances with hi in. For that reason I held my pistol in both hands, so that he could not take it away from me. After the shooting was over and I had got Justice Field on the train again, I told the conductor to look out for Mrs. Terry, for did not like to injure a woman, but would surely nroteot Justice Field."
OVER THE FALLS.
a
Stevo Brodie Accomplish the IVat In Rubber Suit.
Steve Brodie accomplished the perilofeat, Saturday, of going over Niagara Fails in a rubber suit Brodie und party arrived at Clifton, Friday night. They put up at the Waverly Hotel and registered under fictitious names in order to avoid suspicion. Brodie left the hotel with the party at 4 a. m. John McCarthy and Ernest Ceroid and Brodie went to a point feet above the falls. He then stripped and had his body padded with cotton batting, then put on the rubber suit, which was inflated fifty-two inches around the waist and sev-enty-five inches arouna the chest, the headgear being also inflated, while two steel bands protected his body At :o( Brodie, with his paddle,entered the water. He caught the current, waved his paddle to Gerold and McCarthy, and a few seconds later was shot over the center of the Horse Shoe Falls, and luckily he was shot with lightning rapidity over the outside of one of the falling volumes of water and was quickly lost in the mist ami foam.
He was buried from view for nearly two minutes, when a black speck, covered with a thick, white coating was seen bobbing and jumping to and fro in the boiling cauldron of rushing, gurgling waters. In a short time Brodie was caught in the rushing waters aud carried at a brisk pace toward the American shore, and then, ail of a sudden, he was hurried toward the Canadian shore, where John Ledger had ropes roady to drag him from the water.
Ledger was stripped and swam out 300 feet with a rope, fastened to his waist, while W. E. Harding held the other end on shore. Leager, after several attempts, reached Brodie, fastened the rope to the iron bands round his waist and then swam back and assisted in pulling tho daring swimmer ashore. On Brodie being lifted on the rocky shore he was quickly stripped and brandy poured in small quantities on his temples while be was rubbed and chafed, but ho was insensible and blood oozed from his mouth, nose ar.d ears, probably from the shock or concussion.
For twenty minutes Brodio lay until

'•p.^'^ii-'/^-
ammonia was applied to his nostrils and, he began to shiver and gesticulate with his hands. He gradually recovered consciousness and it was then found 'hat hi? injuries were not serious.
In describing his experience. Bvodie says that after he entered the river he weakened, and would have given any thing in the world if he could have reached terra llrma once more. He attempted to get ashore by using his paddles, when the swilt current swept him back and turned his feet toward the brink of the cataract.
When he saw that it was impossible to get out he felt the same as a man that was to meet death, and prayed for dear life. Just as he came to the brink of the falls he became unconscious through fright and: remained so until he struck the water. Then he again lost consciousness and knew no more until he found himself lying on his rubber suit at the waters edge.
POLITICAL.
Pennsylvania Democrats assembled at Harrisburg, Wednesday, and nominated Edward A. Bigler, for State Treasurer. The platform applauds the action of President Cleveland looking toward tariff reform and reaffirms the declaration of principles made by the Democracy at St. Louis in 1SSS, especially that demanding a revision and reduction of tariff taxes. It favors the admission free of duty of all raw material where it will enlarge our product and increase the demand for labor. It denounces trusts and accepts the decision of the people of Pennsylvania on the prohibition amendment as a declaration in favor of a reasonable, just and effectiveregulation of the traffic in ardent spirits It favors the Australian ballot system and advocates a liberal pension law, in oi-dei-to have justice done honorably discharged-, soldiers who, by reason of their wounds aud other infirmities, are prevented from performing manual labor, but the giving of pensions to other persons is denounced as an injustice to those entitled to thisrecognition. Mr. Foran, of Philadelphia, pre sented a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, commending the course of Mr. Gladstone in his attitude toward the Irish people.
John L. Sullivan announces himself as a candidate for Congressman. Sullivan is. located in what is known as -'Pat Collin's district.It has a reliable Democratic majority of 7,000, and is controlled by Irish, voters. Those who know the district will say that if Sullivan would only keep sober, escape the Mississippi penitentiary and cultivate popularity he might capture the nomination next year. The novelty of having the champion prize-fighter of the world occupy a seat in the House would undoubtedly give zest to the campaign and a nadvantage to the champion.
