‘Boiler Explosion at Indianapolis. The Indianapolis papers publish the full particulars of the terrible disaster which occurred at -.the Fair Grounds on Friday, the Ist inst. We make a few extracts from the Journal, which will give a faint idea of the ap‘palling scene: . ey

“ The heart sickens and the brain reels with the fearful tale of Friday's horror. Four days of unexampled pleasnre and prosperity had attended the State fair. In the midst of the excitement and giddiness of the closing hours, without a moments warning of its dread approach, Death, in most horrid shapes with fantastic tortures, clasped his icy fingers around the whole scene of joyous pleasureé, enveloping it with a deep and damning sall, guch as has but seldom been, rawn about even. the ‘most doomed locality. L e s

One o’clock Friday -afternoon was the hour asgigned for the trial of portable engines and saw mills, ard-into the competition several firms entered, among -them Sinker & Co., engine builders, and Long, Joseph & Carter, sawyers, The teat had boon somplot ed, and the victory, if a victory it was, bad been won by the Sinker machine. Seven minutes and a half of sawing had been done, with every part of the engine and mill strained to the utmost tension, after which the fires were permitted to go down-and the machines torests About three o’clock, Mr. Sinker’s foreman thought it advisable to saw up the logs on hand, so as to clear up for removal on the next day. 'The engine was started, and the task *accomplished with the exception of two “turns,” The pit beneath the saw was filled with saw dust, and a temporary rest was taken, to allow two colored helpers to clean it out. A large circle of interesting lookers-on “were gathered about the area occupicd by the machinery, while here and there over the grounds were scattered twelve or fifteen thousand people. 'At a moment of undisturbed quiet, while the hum of the machinéry was hushed and attention directed towards the ring, in which the fast trotting was about to commence, a noise like the explosion of a park of artillery saluted the ear, and a concussion of the earth as.if an earthquake sent a thrill of fear to the heart. A volume of steam, a blinding cloud of dust and smoke, the air filled ‘'with debris of timber, of pieces of iron, of shreds of clothing, parte of human beings, of groans ‘axidztiish‘rieks, men falling hither and thither, and ranks opening as if plowed through with grape and shrapnel, told the tearful tale of -an explosion. 'The engine, a moment . before a thing of beauty, obedient to the touch of man, was ‘torn and rent by a mighty convulsion ; its comeliness gone, its parts scattered to the four winds, hardly a joint left in in’tegri-t{. That which in one second had been an implement of industry, in the next was turned into a sickle of death, reaping and mowing its; victims ina’ uw.i;tg confined by no ‘rule, and measured by no regularity. = || . The ‘scene was, one to appall the stoutest heart. The immense crowd, only informed enough to know that a terrible accident had ogpurred, swayed and surged like mighty billows, breaking over every confine and threaten‘ing 'to add to thelist of deaths by trampling beneath their feet some of’ ‘the weaker and smaller, who: were réeling about in the wortex in' utter helplessnees. First impelled by curi-: ~osity, the jam -was toward the spot -whence the sound ¢ame ; ‘the ‘maimed: ‘and wounded lying about the vicinity: - were . ovérwhelmed, and ' doubtless: ~some were killed outright who might: ‘have lived had they been - allowed air: ‘and given attention at once.

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1869.

it say that nothing was thrown higher than. thirty or forty feet. - The bodies of several men were lifted into the air, and alighted in mangled and mutilated shapes many yards from where they were standing when struck with the steam. Pt 1y Sk Where thg engine stood was left no perceptible trace, exceptan area of smoked ‘and blackened ground. Even the foundation had been torn up, and not a brick was left standing the one ‘upon the other. Thé framing of the saw mill was thrown askew, turned over, broken and dislocated. A large piece of the boiler, which must have weighed five hundred pounds, was carried a‘distance of a- hundred yards.— One smaller piece was thrown clear into the time track, and skipping over it, buried itself in thg sod beyond.— Another piece was blown westward clear over the jyke upon the cattle pens. It crashed through the root of ‘one, and struck a large ox on the horns, breaking off the tips, passing entirely out of the enclosure ofthe fair grounds. One of the shafts, to which was attached an eccentric, was thrown sideways over Power hall, and landed at the side of Domestic hall. One of the rods was twisted offand carried at least three hundred yards in a northeasterly. direction, striking a man on the head who was standiag not far from the amphitheatre. In almost every direction smaller pieces of the machinery were thrown, and the air was literally full of splinters, bolts, screws, nuts, pieces of rods, and such of the lighter portions of the engine.— Innumerable are the stories told/of how deadly missiles alighted just in front of people, arrested by a gracious Providence in their deadly flight.

To attempt a pen picture of -the scene were folly. Imagine fifteen thousand people, pallid with fear, rushing .and crushing to and fro, impelled by a nameless something towards an undefinable object; men bearing dead and wounded into the various halls ; women shrieking and crying, for fear their husbands, sons or brothers might be among the killed ; strong men convulsed and in tears because temporarily separated from wives and children, and in suspense as to their safety; here stumbling across the mutulated form of a man; there appalled with the horrid spectacle of a skull absolutely stripped of its flesh; here an arm, and there a pair of legs; here a side of flesh cooked until it looked like ‘tripe; there a pool of clotted blood ; here a horse struck dead in its harness, with the occupants of the: carriage dumb and palsied with terror. All this, and more, infinitely imore, must be imagined to fill in the details of | a picture of which.it were next to impossible to give but the very faintest outlines. i TR : . In time, however, this Babel and chaos ceased, and the dead and wounded were gﬁ.thet;ed together, glaced in wagons and started for the civy, wuere they received every possible attention that sympathy and skill could bestow. The procession of the maimed and bleeding, and of the corpses, into the city was sad and sickening enough.— It was a forcible imitation of that spectral panorama of suffering that enfiladed into the streéts of Washington city on that July morning, when the federal hosts were beaten back in blood and dismay from Bull Run. : ‘The tidings of the accident reached town in a very few minutes, and soon the whole populace was aroused. — Pennsylvania and Delaware * streets, the principal avennes from the grounds,. were line({) with terror-stricken people, eager to hear the news. = At the gates stood groups of scared women -and children, shivering with the dread that one of these rude ' hearses might drop its load of blank miseries at their doorsteps. Never have we seen the city of Indianapolis so thoroughly alarmed and aroused. The pitch from joy to horror was so sudden and so extreme. - The newspaper offices were crowded with eager news seekers; the rooms of W. W. Weaver, the undertaker, whither the dead bodies were taken to await recognition and recla‘mation, were besieged with a crowd of aev’ral hundred until midnight.>—~ The hotels were thronged ; the surgical institute, where the. wounded were lying, was the focus towards which hundreds of people converged, and ‘wherever two or three could get together, there was a hurried oomgan gon .of notes and an exchange of the latest information. - 3l

The accident happened not far from half past four, and before six the fair grounds were deserted, and the city made the depository of the horrible story. : : e A INCIDENTS. iy Under this head there are a thousand things of interest, but we have on-, ly time to hurriedly note a. few that come to us well authenticated. e All agreed that the explosion sounded like the discharge of a heavy can. non, and the first impression was that, such was the real cause of the noise.; .. A man, walking in front of executive, headquarters, was startled at. seeing the skull of a man-,d{rop in front of him, the flesh actually scalded off the bones, but the eyes B{ld teeth still re-, maining in the sockets and jaws. = . /Beveral yards from the disaster was found a pair of lege _held together by, the merest shreds of flesh. At one, place was the headless trunk of a man ;. at another was the leg of a woman, with her boot.and siocking and a. part, of her drawers still upon it ; the arm, of a man was fonnd driven into & poplar board ; mhile{.m% far, from Power, hall was seen the 'L ody of & man. 80, -horribl{ mutilated that his heart, stomach, liver and lungs could readily o peec ffnen ot finsomerad b 0001 & organ was plainly observed: . I&gﬁswmmmnngg £904; LORIDANION, JORE & FOMSL A 0 jﬁ W%%z%zﬂaiﬂw W it e eego VA, AT« SIRGREY (FALIR s BRVIRIIRS so St ) B 00 ’' v ‘ ;‘r m&?j 5@ D BT (L e AR i »"5"&:.' %.ﬁ -o{g & ’»‘é{ friend, was sitting nm g 0 the

east gide of Power hall. They both Baw _a piece of the boiler coming toward them, when Mr. Foudray’s friend pushed him aside, and the deadly iron imbedded itself in the ground not three feet behind him. : - The scalp of a man was found near the stairway of the amphitheatre. One piece of the boiler, flying thro’ the air, took off the top of a man’s hat. _Governor Baker's coachman was standing ‘near the horses, while the ‘%3vernor, in company with Major Walker. and Captain De La Hunt, were standing just at the side of the carriage. Mrs. Baker had left the carriage but a short time before, :and for a half hour the governor was in great distress for her safety. While the coachman was g 0 badly injured, the escape of the governor and his friends seems miraculous. pHeL b i

Three horses were killed outright, one belonged to Mr. A. E. Vinton, one to Mr. Dawson, the tile maker, and the other to a countryman whose name ﬁould not be learned. The latter was killed while crossing the bridge over whe dyke leading to the western exit.

. The little daughter of Mr. Dawson was struck in the head while standing near its father. “The girl died shortly after reaching home. - ' A baby wagon was struck by a piece of flying iron, and the wagon ut;erly demolished, but the child left unurt. ¥ ;

A piece of the boiler was blown into the cattle shed, two hundred yards, where it passcd through the roof and knocked the tips off the horns of the mammoth ox, but doing him no other injury. : Mr. E. A. Vinton and his daughter were sitting ina buggy about fifty yards away, looking at the running of the mills, when a piece of the boiler struck the horse, killing him instantly, and upsetting the buggy, throwing both occupants out, but doing them no serious harm. e :

A piece of a man’s head, showing a part of the forehead, the nose and left gide of the face, the hair and whiskers very black, slightly tinged with grey, was found near the executive office. ~ One of P. L. Davis’s arms was blown over a hundred yards from the place where he fell dead. . His body was otherwise terribly mutilated. . In a lumber pile, near the place where the boiler stood, wasfound some of the remains of a man literally wadded into the interstices between the planks. | One woman, inquiring for her husband, asked one of the reporters if his name was upon their list of the killed. It was| but the man could not sammon the courage to tell the poor bereaved wife, and he put her off with an evasion, )

There, are many other incidents which could be given, but these will suffice as an index of the general character of the disaster. .’ o “ ‘DEV'ILISH BHA RS Loy 2o

"When the wounded were being brought-off the grounds, some of them were put in the “Rising Sun” express wagon, No. 44, driven by Tim Hurley, and others were put in an express wagon numbered *“45.” The bratal drivers seeing that the loads would -not be profitable, compelled the wounded to disembark. Such brutes should not be allowed any privilege in a civilized community, and their licenses ought to be revoked atonce. Very certainly they will not recieve the patronage of our citizens. : o AID FOR'THE SUFFERERS. '

The state board passed the following resolution last pight: - Resolved, That the gates of the fair grounds be closed, to-morrow, and that the entire receipts from admission fees gharged visitors be donated to the sufferers by the explosion of the steam boiler to-day. .'.

- .. THE CAUSE. . It is proper to say that the almost universal opinion of the cause of the explosion is that but little water was in the boiler, and the flues greatly heated. 'We saw some of the packing of the “hand hold’’ singed ang gcorched | with the heat. : The evidence before the coroner’s jury will be looked for with interest by all our people. The lives of a quarter of ahundred: of human beings should not be overlooked. The state board may find it well to abolish these absurd “tests” which- are no tests at all, in their future exhibitions.. i el 4 R ——— : Tarning Copperhead ! . The following conversation is reported as having ocenrred between two republicans, last week, at Cincinnati. | The one was'a radical, the other identified with the reform movement : “Were you at the meeting last right }” said the radical to the other. “#Not much,” was the reply. «Why not ¥’ said’ the’ interrogator. © «“Why not! because lam tired hearing paid orators. .

{ ‘The Paris correspondent of the New | Orleans Picayune - tells the following story : S oo ! In the month of August, 1863, the French ship Adelina Eliza quitted Bordeaux for ﬁbng Kong. g month afterwards she was spoken off cape of ! Good Hope. She was never heard of again, until a few days ago her histo1y and the history of all her crew became public. A typhoon in the Indiwan Ocean threw her out of her course, dismasted her, and broke her rudder, ~and tossed her towards Oceanica.— Bad weather : lasted thirty days, and when fair weather returned, she struck upon a coral veef, and the exhausted crew were scarcely able to take refage in the boats. :

It was a moonless, starless night when this accident occurred. They rowed wildly, and thanked God when the breaking day showed them a harbor, surrounded by charming landscapes. They reao{ed land and laid down to sleep. When they ‘awoke they found themselves bound hand and foot, and surrounded by savages.— Their captors proved to Ke cannibals. Eleven of them (their captain included) were slain and eaten. Three others contrived (how does not appear) to make their escape, but were mutilated. The one who succeeded in reaching Europe has one arm cat off and one eye torn out. The three reached a remote part of the island, where they found a canoe and embarked in it, pref%rring the risk of being devoured by sharks to the certainty of being:. killeg and eaten by the cannibals. Fortunately they found themselves in an archipelago, and were able to go easily from one island to another. After wandering for some t'me, moving as fast as possible away from the cannibal’s home, George Samazon’s two companions died of exhanstion. He remained alone, mutilated, hope-. less, upon a frail canoe. He eat shellfish and roots. One’ day he reached the last island of the group, and nothing lay before him but the wild ocean.— He set to work to build a raft. It took h'm a year. He launched it. The waves threw it back on the island, he several times attempted to put it to sea, but constantly failed. . He resolved to turn his footsteps landward, but in a different direction from the cannibal’s home. - He climbed a mountain, crossed a desert, fell again into savage's hands, once more escaped from them, fled through forerts, his feet were bitten by venomous insects and his face searred by the bite of mosquitoes ; at last nearer dead than alive, he came upon white men. -He had been walking ' for three years, and had crossed South America on foot! The white men recieved him kindly, and did what they could for him. He embarked upon a small Portugese ship and at last reached Europe. His family had long’ given him up for dead. Hp L et} ———— Y AL WA tlo Rawse W e i ' There was once a very old man who lived in the house of his son. The .old man was deaf, his eyes were dim, and his legs were weak and thin.— When he was at the table, he could hardly hold his spoon, so much did his hand shake ; and at times he would spill his soup on the table-cloth. » " All this vexed his son and his son’s. wife ; and they made the old man sit’ in the corner behind the stove. There he ate his food from an earthenware ‘dish, and be had not always too much to eat, a 8 you may guess. . i

' Well, one day his trembling hand could not hold . the dish ; it fell to the floor and broke, =At this his son and his son’s wife were so vexed that they 'gyoke ‘ha:shly to the poorold man.— is' answer was a deep, sad sigh.— Then they brought him a bowl made of wood, out of which he had to eat his food. P e

' Not long after this, his little grandson, a boy about four yearsold, was seen at work with a- chisel and hammer hollowing; out a log of wood. - ] 'His parents could noc guess what he was trying to do. The little boy" s4id nothing. to-any one, but kept at work on the log and looked very grave, ; ag if he had some great work on hand.. % What are you doing there?” asked the father. 'The litt'fe boy did notwant to tell. Then the mother asked, “what aré you doing there, my ‘son?” “Oh!” said he, “I am only making a little trough, such as our pigs eaf . out of.” . ' : « But what are you making it for, my gon ¥l ot o gt L e GRom -« T am making it,”” said he, * for you and father to eal out of whén I am'a k 2 g AT P T SRS ‘The parents looked at each other and burst into tears.

THE NETTLE,—The common or large nettle is known by grievous experience to-every one, though perhaps you have never yet inquired, whence the pain arises from touching it. The sting is not 'like a 'pin or needle, solid ‘throughout, but is hollow at ‘the centre'and peforated at the point; and, when touched, it is not . ouly .sharp . ‘enough to pierce the gkin, but also is | so. constructed as. to. inject. a particle: of the poisonous fluid into the wound | it makes, and this is- the source of the ‘pain which follows: The wound itsélf is so minute that it could 'scarcely be felt ; but the poison irritates, inflames, _and causes the well-known pain alli'ded to, " The plant, the ‘small species’ of which stings the most severely, is covered all'over with hairs; Lut by using a microscope or magnifying glass, you may perceive that these are nof. all of one kind, some being perforated, which are the stings, while others are not: - Each sting stands.upon a ‘rede’w tal, and the pedestal performs the of-' fice both of gland and poison-bag: It is cellolar and spovgy within ; the }stigsés:-{lm& on its top, and may be ‘moved by a slight pressure to_either, aidé or round in a circle: it seems io stand, sa it were,on o vniversal Joint.

i, VG AND OORBEETIN: - That a general and shameless corruption holds high carnival in. the radical party is evidenced by the /large. and the many places where the *‘peo: ple’s movement’’ is organized solely for the purpose ‘of overthrowing the corrupt rings of radical politicians, who for years have been rioting in the flesh pots of a patient and forbearing people. In many places bitter feuds exist in the ranks of our opponents, and squabbles are constantly occurring for a division of ‘the spoils. ‘lnm numerous -instances the truth of the old adage, ““when thieves fall out honest men get their dues,” is daily being ‘proved. The public are constantly deriving benefit from the damaging disclosures made by rival factions in the party of “moral ideas.”. Much dirty linen is being washed all over. the country, and if an amount of iniquity. sufficient to sink any party is not aisclosed ‘'we shall - be singularly surprised. ' In the various cities where radicalism has been in power, a notoriety for wickedness and official corrup--tion scarcely second to that ot Sodom. _and Gomorrah has been attaived. In Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington; and numerous other places, this corruption is -especially noticeable. So glaring has been the fraud and political villainies in the former city, that the recent Republican nominees find ‘themselves without the support of the leading radical journais and forsaken by the honest, toiling masses. = There certainly must be something “very rotten in: Denmark”, when' our- ,oppo-:_ nents, forgetful of the damaging results to their party, consider that their individual interests and the common welfare of the people, demands the disclosure of - these masses of corruption. It aungurs well for ' the -speedy. overthrow of the unscrupulous rings that ‘now rule the country, and the early * elevation of the Democratic party to power. Fortune is a fickle jade, and, like many of her sex; quite often bestows her favors upon the un; deserving; but, also like. her sex, she in the end lays her favors in the lap of those who possess true merit and give promise of future stremgth and. usefulness. Radicalism has ‘reached: the pinnacle of *its glory, and’ now struggles_down 'its descending pathway like an agéd mendicant, who, having entailed the miseries of ‘an illspent “and debauched life upon his progeny, receives their |ciirses’ and maledictions as he totters: to a grave, “unwept, unhonored and unsung.”’— In theatrical parlance Republican rule. has not been a success, and the admiration with which the people once" viewed its acts has now turned to disgust. The managers find it éxceedingly difficult to obtain even the slightest applause. - The people are clamoring for a change, and ere long the curtain will be rnng down on the wretch-, ed and disgraceful spectacle; the actors “will ‘be: consigned to a just oblivion; the 't;_in_s'eled- drapery will be torn from the stage,-and the farce will be succeeded by the legitimate drama. An-honest and competent set of play- 1 ers will be called upon the stage, and ! a suffering people will applaund theu'g acts. ; ST e
