BIG BLASTS.

Send Showers of Stone Dirt And Causing People to Hustle For Safety. Monday night watchman George Fuller was excavating a large cistern on the ground owned by Sam uel Curry, on East Fourth street, which is in the near proximity of numerous dwelling houses and residences. When several feet down in old mother earth Mr. Fuller struck stone that proved to be more than of ordinary toughness, and he prescribed the usual remedy, which consisted of a good strong blast. Everything being in readiness the match was touched to the fuse, that sent a little curl of blue smoke upward as Fuller ran. He had only a few sec onds to wait when bang went the blast that made College Hill shake to its very foundations, while the residents startled, sought the open air in time to see a huge mass of rock going skyward, that scattered to the four winds of heaven, and decended with a mighty crash upon the houses and woodsheds adjacent thereto. The lawns appeared to be covered with a stone snow. The large fine plate glass window in the parlor of Stephen McPhetridge's residence went down with a crash entailing a loss of about $18. Miss Flossie McGee, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. McGee, narrowly escaped being struck with a large stone that struck the ground iust two feet from where she was standing. If it had struck her death would have been the result. Mr. Fuller was much alarmed ovor tne havoc wrougnt by trie blast, and said that he never saw the pesky thing do that way before. He will be asked to pay more damage than he will make buildincr the cistern. Slate fair at Indianapolis, Sep tember 1 6 to 2i. All should at tend. BEUNA VISTA. Sammy Sparks visited Jay Sparks Sunday.

All strikes end in a certain increase of poverty, hence should not be resorted to, except as a last and dire resort . Railroads will not be doing well and disaster or accident is feared. There will be but little activity in the money market and trade will be flat and lifeless. To the ruling powers in this country trouble is signified, and their popularity will be small. News from the United States will tell of chamge and suffering among the laboring class, who will again make a great effort to curb the power of the plutocracy. .
