Fifteen hundred quarts of nitroglycerin stored in two magazines owned by the •ft. Mary’s Torpedo Company and Empire Glycerin Company in a ravine two miles and one-half southeast of Marion, Iml., exploded, shaking the entire northeastern part of the State. Business blocks and dwelling houses shook and swayed as if rocked by nu earthquake. A yawning hole in the bottom of the ravine was all that was left to tell the story. It is thought that the explosion was caused by a gas jet in one of the magazines, which set fire to the buildings. So far ns known no one was injured. Telephone inquiries indicate that houses were shaken fifty miles away.

Frick, since bis election to the directorate of the Pittsburg Coal Company, has started a plan to consolidate all the coal mining companies in the Pittsburg district having railroad connection. This will require a capitalization of almost $200,000,000. Arrangements have been made for a meeting of the principal companies manufacturing wire and wire nails in Pittsburg, at which it is probable that an arbitrary price association will be formed for the purpose of controlling the prices of wire and wire nails. First practical fruits of the recent conference between leaders of capital and labor in New York have been shown in the city of New York, where the executive committee lias succeeded in averting a strike of 40,000 garment workers, the points at issue being adjusted by arbitration.

It develops that William Goddard, who was killed recently at Greensburg, Ky., after returning from a hunting trip, had his life insured for $35,000. A fortune teller predicted Goddard’s death about six weeks before, and Goddard then took out half a dozen policies. All, it is believed, are valid.

Admitting that his picture was in the rogue’s gallery and that for a period of years he had been familiar with the “lowest depths of New York opium joints,” yet pleading for mercy from the court, Franklin J.

The cap of the well casing failed to operate and the whole surrounding country is being flooded with oil. Great excitement prevails and hundreds of people are flocking to Columbia. A repetition of the boom times in Beaumont last spring is likely to result. This is the first gusher that has been struck off Spindle Top heights.

The Dowager Empress of China asserted her complete supremacy the other day by granting an audience in the most sacred hall in the forbidden city.

IN GENERAL.

Charles M. Schwab had good luck after several losses at Monte Carlo. The statistician of the Department of Agriculture in Washington estimates the average yield per acre of wheat In the United States in 1901 at 14.8 bushels, ns compared with 13.3 bushels, the meau of the averuges of the last ten years. Kir Wilfred I.nurier, the Canadian premier, received a cable dispntch saying that It. R. Dobell, a member of the dominion cabinet without portfolio, had been killed at Folkestone, England. He was thrown from a horse which he was riding. Gas was struck in a well which was being bored for snlt at the Cleveland and Sarnia Sawmill Company’s plant in Sarnia, Ont. It was immediately ignited by a stove in a building adjoining the well. The machinery In the well, which was destroyed, was worth $40,000. The Navy Department has received the following cablegram from Rear Admiral Rodgers at Cnvite: "Waller reports having completed ten days’ march across Samar from Lanaug to Bahey. Column endured great hardships. Killed thirteen Insurgents, captured captain, lieutenant •ad four men."

A. Grand Report from Hie Majesty's Dockyard, Portsmouth, England, Where Upwards of 10,000 Men Are' Constantly Employed. —. We have now further evidence es the Intrinsic value of St. Jacobs Oil as a palm conqueror. Our readers will do well te follow the intelligeat and highly inter* eating details aa given in Mrs. Rabbets’ewn words: “To the Proprietors, St. Jacobs Oil: Gentlemen—My husband, who Is a shipwright in Hla Majesty’s Dockyard, met wltfr an accident to hi#|fokle and leg, spraining both so badly that his leg turned black from his knee to his toes. The doctor said it would be months before he could put his foot to the ground, and It tvas doubtful whether he would ever get proper use of hia leg again. ‘ A few days after the accident I had a book left at the door telling about St. Jacobs Oil, so I procured a bottle from our chemist, Mr. Arthur .Creswell, 879 Cotnmercjal road. I began to use St. Jacobs Oii, and you may guess my surprise when in a week my husband could not only stand but could walk about, and in three weeks he was back at work, and everybody talking about hia wonderful recovery. Seeing what St. Jacobs Oil could jjo gave me faith in your Vogeler’s Curative Compound, which I determined to try on my little girl, who was suffering from a dreadful skm disease. “She has taken two bottles of Voge» ler’a, and one would now hardly take her for the same child, her skin has got such t nice healthy color after the sallow look the has always had. “I shall never cease to be thankful for the Immense benefit we have derived from these two great remedies of vours. “ELIZABETH S. RABBETS, "93 Grafton Street, Mile End, Landport, (A liberal free sample of Vogeler'a Compound will be sent by addressing St Jacobs Oil. Ltd., Baltimore.) The above honest, straightforward statement of Mrs. Rabbets’ evidence is stronger and far more convincing than sages of paid advertisements, which lack that convincing proof which Mrs. Rabbets’ description of her own experience supplies. St. Jacobs Oil has a larger sale throughout the world than that of all other remedies for outward application combined.

Have Animals Reason?

“Have animals reason?” was one of the questions raised by Lord Avebury In an Interesting address given recently at the London institution, and certainly it seems hard to deny to the intelligent poodle Dan, with whom Lord Avebury experimented, some glimmerings of the faculty which is said to separate men from brutes. Dan was able after a time to distinguish between the number of cards Inscribed with such suggestive words as “Food,” "Tea,” “Water,” and when he required anything to bring the right card. Lord Avebury thought it was hardly possible to study closely communities of ants without allowing that they were possessed of reasoning powers In some degree and even of moral feeling. On the other hand, says the London Chronicle, the processional caterpillar appears to be an Insect of a very low order of Intelligence. Processional caterpillars when out for an expedition weave a thread, by means of which they find their way back, and a small party was lured by an ingenious scientist up a flowerpot and round the top. He then cleared away the ascending thread and for eight days did those caterpillars walk round and round the top of the flowerpot, following the circular thread which remained, until they dropped off from fatigue and exhaustion.

An Important Discovery.

Detroit, Mich., Jan. 13.—A sensational statement is made by Mr. Benjamin Major whose home is at the corner of Jane and Hurlbut avenue, this- city. Mr. Major says that he has found a remedy which will positively cure all Kidney and Bladder troubles. Ho suffered for a long time with these diseases in the most painful form and during bis Illness experimented with a great many medicines without getting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills and to his great joy wa* cured completely. The statement he makes seems to have ample confirmation In reports being published every day of wonderful cures by this remedy.

“My friend,” said the very severe per•on, “treasure the precious moments. Think, with the deep awe which the subject deserves to command, upon the fact that time is swiftly fleeting and stays for no man.” “That’s all right,” answered the cheery citizen: “I want It to fleet If time were stationary I’d be out of work. You see, I’m a watchmaker.’’— Washington Star.

“We have a deaf and dumb member of our Woman’s Club,” said Miss Gabbeigh to young Mr. Duggleby. “Indeed,” gurgled the youth, “I should think she would be at a disadvantage.” “Oh, my, no! Why, we let her make all the motions." And the next day Harold Duggleby smiled audibly several times, having charted the remark and arrived at an understanding of its import.—Baltimore American.
