DEADLY DYNAMITE.

TERR1FK

EXPLOSION BREMEN.

Terrible Loss ot Life.

Bremen, Dec. 11.—The boiler of a tug boat near the steamship Mosel exploded to (lay. The Mosel WHS juat ready to sail for New Yirk,having embarked her passengers. Fifty persons were killed outright and many injured. Toe Mosel will not sail to-dny.

New York, Dec. 11.—Oalrich & Co., agents of the North German Lloyds in this city, have received the following dispatch from the company's office in Bremen: "A great explosion has occurea at Bremen Haven of a case of dynamite on the quay belonging to a passenger's baggage. Many lives were lost. The "steamer Mosel is slightly damaged, but we expect to sail her tomorrow."

Bremen,Dec. 11.—TheNord Deutsche Lloyds have received tue following telegram from Bremen, Haven: After the steamer Mosel had embarked her passengers for New York to-day in the outer port, the boiler of the tug Sim son, lying opposite, exploded, killing fifty persons and wounding manv. The Mosel wa9 sa badly damaged that she cannot sail to-day. The Mosel was to have taeen the passengers of the lost steamer, Deutchland, of the same lino.

London, Dec. 11, 4 P. M.—It is not yet known whether the killed and wounded were passengers by the steamer Mosel. The disaster was not ciused by the explosion of the boiler of the steam tug, but by au explosion on the warf.

Bremen, Dec. 11.—It is now certain that the explosion was a case of dynamite belonging to the personal baggage of a passenger. But few details have been received. It is presumed that the actual passengers suffered Uut liiilo, but the fatalities were chiefly among those accompanying the passengers.

New York, Dec. 11.—Oelrlch tfc Co., agents of the North Gorman Lloyd's Line, to whom the steamship Mosel belongs, doubt the truth of the report that those killed by the explosion at Berme Haven were pessengers. There may have been workmeu on the quay, or a large number of the passengers about to sail on the Mosel wailing to see them off. In that case no names of the dead will ba sent to the office in this city. Two steamboats are used by the North German Lloyd's line at Bremen Haven, the Lloyd for ptssengers, and tha Simpson for luggage. If any of the pasiengers are injured, they are suppr s'dt have been on the tug which was to jc vey them from the quay at Bremen harbor to the vossel. A quay is set apart exclively for pass songers' luggage, and it appears that the cases of dyuamite w^re about to ba shipped as luggage. The passengers of the Ddutsciiland who were rescued, could not huvd been among thoso who •were injured, as they wore not taken to Bremen. The consul had telegraphed that they would take the Mosel when she stopped at Southampton, and should the Mosel sail to-morrow they will be called for Tuesday next. The company does not allow the shipment of explosive or dangerous materials of any kind on its vessels. So careful is it in this respect that nothing but linseed oil is permitted to be used in the lamps for illuminating the saloons of the steamers. A special dispatch from Bremen says that the vessel was at the pair taking on board passengers and their baggage. The pier was crowded, as is usual, with passen gers, porters and stevedores, assisting in the departure of the vessel. Suddenly the explosion occured, scattering death and terror on all hides. Tlje first reports stated that it was a steam tug that had exploded, but now it appears that in the luggage of one the passengers was a package of dynamite. The baggage, by accident dropped and the concussion caused the explosion: The loss of life will not be very great. Many were terribly injured. The greatest excitomeut prevails, and assistance has been seut to the scene of disaster. The Mosel was only slightly injured.

Brenen, Dee. 11.—Only two of th.e passengers by the Mosler were killed. Tho steamer suffered no particular damage on account of her great distance from the explosion.

New York, Dec. 13.—A dispatch from Bremenhaven says: The passengers of the steamship Mosel killed by the explosion of the dynamite, are Hermann Camer, of Iowa, and Alfred Granichiid, of Austria, cabin passengeie, Steerag- passengers killed are Heinrick Koutz, Otto Ktieniche, Adolph Kaufman, natives of Norlh Gerinauy. Cabin passengers wounded are Mrs. Marten?, of Bretneu. Steerage passengers wouuded are Rudolph Witte of New York, Wilhelm Schmidt Joseph Dancer and Wilhelm Thomas. Thero were altogether fifty-seveu persons killed and thirty-three wouuded. The majority being residents of Bremen Haven, who went down to the dock as spectators of th« shipment of passengers. The man who delivered the box of dynamite had planed that the explosion should take place on the oceau during tho voyage of the Mosel outward.

Mr, Davis said no leports have been made since 1865, he believed an immense sum was due the Government by defaulter?, it was stated last year when a similar resolution was offered, it would cost $75,000, aud require several months to furnish a list of defaulters, cinouuts and etc.

Mr. Sherman said that he would not object to the resolution being printed and laid over until to-mor-row, but gave notice now that he would hereafter move to to refer to a proper committee all the resolutions of inquiry, where questions of facts of law are involved. The resolution was then laid over until to-morrow. It will be printed.

Mr. Sherman suggested that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Mr. Thurman saw no reason why the resolution should not be adopted and sent directly to the Secretary of the Treasury.

Mr. Sherman said that the resolution referred to several statutes to which the Senators had not had an opportunity to refer. It also asserted three or four matters purporting the facts which the Senator himself could not vouch for, aud he (Sherman) thought all resolutions of in quiry involving au expense should be referred to by an appropriate committee.

Mr. Davis said he was satisfied that thp law had been disregarded since 1865, and he saw no reason why the Secretary of the Treausry should not be asked why the law had not been complied with.

Mr. Boutwell said the statute, as it now stood, did not require the Sec* retary ot the Treasury to furnish such a list.

Aud Iiidulgo in Ot!icr Freaks.

Washington, D9C. 11.—The Democratic Jackson Association and Metropolitan Democratic Club formed in torchlight procession to-night, and proceeding to Willard's Hotel, serenailed Speaker Kerr, who spoke as follows: •'Gentlemen—It would be very improper for me to-night to do more, iu tha present condition of my health, than simply, in a few words, to express to yon the great gratification have of receiving at your hands this evidenco of respect and appreciation, and to express to you my acknowledglor the courtesy you have manifested in extending to me this very cordial reception. I beg you to accept my thanks and to excuse me from saying anything more. I bid you all a good night."

Speaker Kerr retired amid cheers and music. Senator Wallace of Pennsylvania, was then introduced, and said that the Forty-fourth Congress had now been intrusted to the Democracy. It was for them to prove their ability iu less ing the burdens of an over-taxed peo pie, to stop the leaks and punish wrong-doers. Economy must mark every step, and the Government be administered for the benefit of all sections. The Democrats were about to enter unon tueir trial. The people themselves were the judges. It was for the Democrats in Congress to prove thrir fitness for the high places to which, they were called. They must be governed by statesmanship deep and wide enough to cover every section, and the great interests of judgment and discretion must mark their pathway.

Senators Thurman, Stevenson and Cox wore also serenaded, and acknowledged the compliment in brief remarks.

This morning a baby, perhaps a week old, was found by the police on a step on Fourth street. It was taken to the station house. It was. afterwards ascertained that it was the child of Martha Watson. She, perhaps, left it there early thi3 morning, before going to Indianapolis- Her sister, a woman named Cummings, took it away. This Watson is the same woman who sued Dudley Parrish some time ago, claiming that he is the father of it. True or false, Parrish executed his notes for $120 and the woman released him. The baby has, however, beaten the note to ma' turity.

HIS FINAL EXIT.

SUDDEN DEATH OF TtTQMAS SIDKEY HOLLAND THE WELL KNOWN ACTOK.

The Sad End of a Miss-spent Life.

Shortly aft9r noon yesttrday it be. came noised abroad that Tom Holland had dropped dead at the Uuion Depot. The report created considerable excitement, and large numbers of poople Hocked to tho depot to learn the truth of the matter, and to take a last look at the man they had seen so often upon the mimic stage.

When the Solden Irwin Company reached this city last Thursday, Holland met some old friends, and with them took the first drink which had passed his lips for several weeks. Having taken one drink he lo3t all controll of his appetite, and was soon in tho maudlin condition in which ho appeared that night on the stage. The company departed for Paris next morning, where they were to play Friday and Saturday evenings. Meantime, Holland had indulged freely and was so drunjkthat it was necessary to lead him to the cars. Arrived in Paris it was decided that he was unfit to appear upon the stage and another member of the company assumed his part in the drama. Mr. Irwin locked the unfortunate man in his room and confined him there until their return to this city, ea route to Evansville. When the .'train reached the Union Depot Tom (stepped out upon the platform, where he met an old acquaintance, whom ho »eia9d Wy the arm, and said, "Ctotne, let's take a drink." Those wero'the last words he ever spoke. They had hardly been uttered when he fell forward on his face^ Several who were near him sprang to his assistance, raisad him up, and carried him into the baggage room where ho was placod upon an impromptu couch, Where ho died within a few minutes. The Coroner was notified, and was soou on tho spot. A jury was empanneled, and after listening to the evidence, and examining the body, they returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death through natural cause?, and without violence. It is conceded as a matter of .course, that whisky was the •primary, secondary, and final cause Of death, but through jus$_what channel this effect wan determined except through'.*! post mortem examination, which the Coroner thought unnecessary. The relatives of the decaased who live in Philadelphia, were advised of the sad ^vent by telegraph, and tho body was taken in charge by Bill, the undertaker.

Thomas Sidney Holland was about forty-three years of age, and bad been an actor for twenty-fire years, having made his first appearance in Ciicinnati, in 1850- His family were well-to-do and highly respected residents of Philadelphia. Deceased received a liberal education in his youth, and at one timo wa3 a writer of note, lie rose rapidly in bis chosen frofession, and ten years ago ranked amqng the best "leading men" of this country. But like a great many men of genius, he fell a victim to the demon drink. Once fairly launched on his downward career, be never recovered his position. There is no profession in which a man can so surely and so certainly ruin himself by intemperance as that of an actor. A lawyer, a physician or a civil engineer may indulge iu periodical sprees to his heart's conteut, but has only to brace up and rosume his duties, and all is serene. But let an acter once gain the reputation of a drunkard, and his occupation is gone. He is thereafter unable to obtain a respectable engagemens. He is compelled to subsist on the charity of his fellow-professionals, obtaining an occasional engagement on the strength of old friendship. Holland had been married but bi^wifo i®" and obtained a divorce from him several years since. She is now the wife of a Chicago merchant. In their youthful days Mr. Irwin and the deceased were intimate friends, and when, about two months ago, Mr. I. found Poor Tom in an Ohio town,in destitute circumstances, having just recovered from a protracted spree, be remembered the old days when they had been friends, when the property of one had been the property of the other, and extended a helping hand to bis old companion. Tom let whisky severely alone until last Thursday, when his

last

fatal spree was commenced. De. ceased was a member of the Fanny B. Price combination during the summer of 1874, and was personally known to

many

of our citizens.

THE Journal deposeth »nd eaith: That was a gay baud of rascals that disturbed the town on Friday night. Skids were placed in stairways. Res-, taurant lights were put out. Five pif a were stolen fioiu Mrs. Brown restaurant. Iron foot bridges were removed. Boxes were piled on sidewalks. The E. & C. Main street watch-house was fired and partially burned. Then the party went northward. Gates were removed on North Eighth street, and carried to the I. A St. L. Railroad. Two gasoline Inmps were taken down and sat on the gate posts of one citizen. After a night of deviltry the stables of Morritz Hassenonr aud Daniel McCarthy wers set on fire and burned. Such conduct does no one any good, and though it inav be fun to roughs and lawbreakers ft is a bad example to tke community.

CENTENNIAL EXHISITIOy.

Thft Public Schools Gi?e Two Excellent Peiformanees to Crowded Houses,

Nearlj $'300 Taken in.

The youthful actors who made their "exits" and their "entrances" on Saturday, were numarioaliy very strong. In fact when the afternoon performance was over these actors lined the streets for squares. The afternoon per. oriuanca was exceedingly good. Lack of space prevents an extended notice of it. Tho crowning effort of the day was the performance in the evening. The succes of the evening performance was complete. The large bouse was a living mass—we trust of valor, but we know of life. In the anxious yot pleased expression playing on the leaturcs of hundreds present could plainly read the fact that they were the parents of children who were to perform. Tho chil clvos ware fairly glowing with delight. The mysteries of the stage and green room were to be. unfolded to them they were to appear before the foot lights they were ta show their parents how smart and pretty they could be they were to—but why enumerate? They were happy and that is enough. The first thing on the proerammo was chorus singing which was rendered acceptably. Following this Miss Helen Tyler of the High School read an ossay on the Centennial. It contained several facts of interest, relative to tho world's show and a tonch or I wo at an alley date of ill rebuke. Miss Nellie Gist then read the "Sword of Bmiker Hill." Tho piece has been almoBt committed to memory so tkat the reading was mora of a recitation. It was good. The "D mube River" was rendored in a very pretty manner by Masters Eddie Mancourt and Martie Gould. As they grow older their voices will change, thereby spoiling the soprano* They, however, evinced considerable musical taste for bovs so youthful, and will ripen into excellent singers.

For the benefit of thoso floundering on a sea of troubles regarding the title of that recitation in which there was so much stepping forward, and motioning with tha right hand, it may be stated that that was the "Lion and the glove." For aught we know to tho contrary Trwaacnollenllv (lone.

The "Whistling Farmer BoyTr was a credit to the person who trained the boys to whistle as thov did. There are many attrocious wbisttlers in the world who should be trained as these were or killed in a common slaughtering of jaws-harp and accordeon players.

The tableau and recitation, "Song of the Spirit." wus acceptably rendered. The great hit of the evening was the appearance of little Otto Newcom, aged 7. No orator ever wore a calmer appearance in the presence of an audience, and none in that Opera House

ever

succeeded in making all* present hear each word he had to say more effectually than did Otto, He recited •Spartacns to tha Gladiators," like a little man, drawing forth applause at every sentence. To enthusiastic applause he responded with "White Lies." His stage whisper is immense.

One of the most meritorious performances of the evening was the calisthenic exercise of the pupils of tho Filth Ward. These children were as thoroughly trained as many of the troops in most of the barracks in America. The training was done by Mrs. Maun, of the Fifth Ward, assisted by Miss Kate Tolburt and J. W. Landrum. The children were put under rigid training for three weeks. Fortyjof them were originally trained, but towards the last it was found that one would of necessity be absent. In order that the phalanx be not broken, a teacher volunteered to serve, and so nicely did she go through with it, and so thoroughly was she disguised in her child's dress that no one discovered the difference. Miss Flora Keller rendered "Merry Zingara" in

such

fashion as

to call for an encore, to which she responded with "Robin Red Breast." Miss Keller surprised even her friends in the mannei with which she acquited herself. Tho farce of the evening—it was Intended to be such—was the "Old School," given by the pupils of the First Ward, with Mr. Henry Gi eenawalt as pedagogue. There was some talent in the line of low comedy displayed by the boy who wore the fool's cap. It was very funny and brought down the house

The "Colloquy," by the pupils of the pupils of the Third Ward, had several good points in it. Miss Fisher'sacting as Mrs. Burke, showed considerable of the dramatic talent which has oiten been noticed and praised in the ama teur performances of her sister, Mrst Hollinger. Mrs. Waldron was acceptably renderod by Miss Maude Sparks. The* part of Julia Was filled by Miss Hat tie Frank, and lhat of Dick (who dropped the bomb shell about Mrs. Waldron's head resembling a peeled onion) WES personated by Harry Estabrook. Ti 0 other parts were represented by Ora Cross, Lulu Peno and Fanny Farnham.

To Miss Gordon, principle of the Sec ond Ward, is duo tho success of th-* closing tableau. It revealed'both taste and -ir i-- It tho center of the

'wr^ ?'_* .'• /c

stage was the wheel of time surrounding it were the emblems of the seasons. Miss Augusta Palmer, in white dress with a wreath of green, represented spring! Miss May B9ach in white dress, trimmed with flowers, looked the personification of happy sunshiny summer weather. Miss Grace Foote, represented autumn. Her dress was trimmed with red and brown flowers. It is safe to say that no autumn weatherever looked fairer.Miss Grace Hudson had the most difficult part to personate. She was winter. Sprinkled around in tront (sprinkled is not a very pretty word, but it will do) were a number of angels whose mundane names are Elizi Hudson, and two liltlo misses, Davis and Guiick. The scen9 was pretty, and was well received. Though a Cnango iu the printed programme it came previous to the "colloqnj'."
