TERRIBLE DISASTER.

Workmen at Long Island City Attempt to Thaw Out a Lot of Frozen Dynamite— An Explosion Follows, and Five Persons Are Killed, Many Others Injured and a Number of Buildings Wrecked. NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—A dynamite explosion that shook Long Island City like an earthquake, killed five persons, fatally injured three and badly hurt ten others occurred at 8 a. m. Wednesday. The police figure up that there will be ten deaths from the explosion, as all of the five reported as fatally injured will die. The dead are: Henry O’Brien, of 29 Jackson avenue; Mrs. Rock, the wife of a barber on Jackson avenue; John Hopkins, John Delaney, and Barber Rock. The explosion occurred in the rear of four tenements in Jackson avenue, a street in the center of Long Island City. Just back of these houses is the entrance to the tunnel that the New York City and Long Island Tunnel company is digging under the East river between this city and the New York Central depot They use a great deal of dynamite in blasting in the work. Tuesday night the dynamite froze. The men needed some and placed three barrels of cartridges just back of the tenements to be thawed out. Then they built a fire beside them. Fire and dynamite were thereupon left alone and twenty men went down into the tunnel shaft to work. The fire burned near to the dynamite and set it off. The shock that followed was like an earthquake. The men in the tunnel shaft were not hurt. | The persons living in the tenements made up the killed and injured. The tenements from Nos. 21 to 29 were shattered, with the stores and offices below. The post office was in No. 27. The letter cases were knocked into strips and the clerks were hurled headlong into the debris. Immediately after the crash a wave of fire swept through the lower part of the tenements. It cut off all possibility of escape through the entrances to the buildings. Some of the stunned and bleeding tenants managed to crawl to the windows and make their escape in that way. The police believe that many mangled bodies will be taken from the debris. Three of the people killed were all in their homes, which were contiguous to the scene of the explosion. O’Brien, one of the killed, had his throat cut from ear to ear and his face was badly mutilated by flying glass. He was lying on a sofa when the explosion took place. A pane of glass was smashed directly over his head and a large piece acted as a guillotine. Just across the street doors were off their hinges, counters overturhfed and inmates knocked senseless. Scores of persons were injured in this way that the authorities have heard nothing about. Two blocks and a half from where the explosion took place stands a five-story brick store building and tenement. The shock tore out every window-light in the front of the top floor. Business was entirely suspended in Long Island City, and 8,000 people surropnded the ruins. When the explosion occurred all ths workmen were in the tunnel except McIntre, who was placed in charge of the dynamite at the head of the tunnel. It was at first believed he had been blown to pieces. None of the men in the tunnel were injured. It was learned later that McIntre, who was in charge of the dynamite when it exploded, was not killed. He was found at his home, where he was taken after the explosion occurred. He was placed under arrest, charged with criminal negligence. McIntre was foreman of the tunnel construction company. He was badly injured and is likely to die. To a reporter he gave a brief account of the explosion. He said he had placed about forty one-pound cartridges in a box 4 feet square, through which steam pipes run, for the purpose of thawing them out. He says he cannot account for the explosion. He remembers nothing of what happened until he recovered consciousness at his home. He says that during his thirtyfive years’ experience in such work this is the first accident of the kind that has ever occurred.

A FREE MAN.

Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, Signs the Pardon of James Dunlap, a Notorious Bank Robber. BOSTON, Dec. 29. —The executive council unanimously voted to pardon James Dunlap, the notorious bank robber now in state prison. Gov. Russell has signed his pardon and Dunlap will leave the prison a free man at 10 o’clock this morning. The prisoner has but a year to serve, and the members of the council feel that some recognition should be made of his behavior in restoring to the bank, after his apprehension, practically all the funds stolen. At the time that he made restitution he was given to understand by the officers of the government.that such action on his part would operate in his favor. Dunlap’s friends have worked most assiduously in his behalf. Dunlap has uot been in the best of health for some time. James Dunlap was in 1877 sentenced with Robert Scott to imprisonment for twenty years in the state prison for robbing the Northampton national bank of nearly $2,000,000 in cash, bonds and other securities, fully one-half of which were negotiable.

FANCY PRICE FOR PORKERS.

An Iowa Man Realizes Seven Dollars a Hundredweight in Chicago for Two Car Loads of Hogs. CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—J. H. Bielenberg, of Toronto, Ia., came to the Chicago stock yards with two loads of fancy heavy hogs just in time to credit the old year with the highest price for hogs in nearly a decade. His lot of 107 extra prime 342-pounders sold to a city butcher at the rate of $7 a hundredweight, the highest price paid for a full load of hogs since June, 1883. The late advance of 25 to 30 cents for the last three days has been the direct result of restricted supply.

33 per ct. difference. Royal Baking Powder Strongest, Purest, Most Economical. As to whether any of the baking powders are equal to to the "Royal," the official tests clearly determine. When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that the “Royal” contained from 28 per cent to 60 per cent more leavening strength than the others, and also that it more perfectly combined, absolutely pure, and altogether wholesome. As most of these powders are sold to consumers at the same price as the “Royal,” by the use of the Royal Baking Powder there is an average saving of over one third, besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of bread, biscuit and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable. The official reports also reveal the presence, in other powders, of alum, lime or sulphuric acid, by which their use is made a matter of grave danger to the consumer. Whenever a baking powder is sold at a lower price than the “Royal, or with a gift, it is a certain indication that it is made from alum, and is to be avoided under all circumstances.

LILLY LANGTRY Mrs. Langtry has always been held up as the picture of health. The long walks she took. The number of baths daily, the amount of exercise have been duly exploited in the newspapers. You would naturally think that she would never be sick and yet, she has been down at death’s door with stomach trouble. All of which shows that exercise alone is not sufficient to keep a person in good health. Attend to your stomach, oh man, and oh woman. When you are attacked by indigestion, Take the Laxative Gum Drops. They contain nothing deleterious. They are mild and pleasant. There is no taste of medicine about them. But they are the best things, for all maladies that affect the digestion, of anything on the market. SYLVAN REMEDY CO., Peoria, Ill. RUMLEY TRACTION AND PORTABLE ENGINES Threshers and Horse Powers.
