George H. Pendlefon.

A reporter of the Cincinnati

EQ-

quirer has interviewed George P. Bowler in reference to the estate, to which he is the oldest heir, and of hich George H. Pendleton was administrator. We republish the interview from the enquirer. It re* lates altogether to a private transaction. Nevertheless such persistent effort has been made to drag it before the public, and to .make Mf. Pendleton appear in the light of a public plum derer that it is no more than simple justice to him, for the press which was so eager in denouncing him, to publish'this explanation of the matter. Mr. Bowler asserts positively and of Ills own knowledge that Mr Pendieton was employed by his clients, and that, his compensation was fixed by, them, and^was therefore, of course, satisfactory to them. Iu other words Mr. .Pendleton wss empoyed by cliel)ts,aud paid by. them a sum of money previously agreed upon between them. It is a piece of the grossest impertinence for any outsider to say whether or not the fee was too large or.too small. There is such a thing as private business. Occasionally it pays for the public to mind it8 own business, and let that of individnala ialone.

Oar contemporaries have been busy in recommending this, that, and the other man for MiDiater to tho Court of St. James's, and we,-too, have done a 'little something in the same line.

His system was pretty, clearly"'defined by an almost uniform practice quite early in his administration.

Wr eck# d.

The Salt Lake Tribune gives the following full account of the appalling powder maga/.iue explosion there:

About 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the city was startled by three terrific reports, caused by the explosion of the four powder magazines on Arsenal Hill. There were three distinct reporte, and they followed cac hother in such quick succession that people had merely time to get out of their houses the glass windows in nearly every building in tho city were simultaneously shaken out chimneys fell in, many teams on the etreets ran away, and everybody and everything for a tew minutes seemed

TERROR STRICKEN.

Dense columns of smoke rose with wonderful velocity at each successive explosion, and spread out grandly into a cloud that stretched nearly across the valley. When the people recovered their equilibrium, great crowds on foot and by various conveyances started fer the immediate scene of the explosion. Oa arriving there, they found that where the four magazines had stood, four boles were left, and the ground was strewn with small fragments of*tho building, an iron door being the only whole thing from the wreck. For half a mile around there had fallen a perfect

SHOWER OR STONKS

of all bizes, pieces of boards, of powder cans, and a few mangled lragments of the unfortunate man or men who were Dlown into eternity by this terrible explosion. A portion of a human scalp with the hair on was first found, then a foot and a portion of one leg nearly to the knee was picked up, finally another toot and leg to above the knee, with a boot and some fragments of panta loons on it. Other small portions of flesh and clothing were found strewn about promiscuously among the fresh earth and stones, but there was not enough picked up altogether to weigh twenty pounds. These were put into Dr. Hamilton's buggy and taken to the City Hall, where matiy people went.to a a a thorn

see them. Two acres, immediately around the spot where one of the mag azioes stood, were strewn with pieces of uiant powder, broken into all sizes. The buildings in city creek canyon, situated immediately below tno n»«*ga zines, were almost completely demol ished. Brigbam Young's Empire Flouring mill was blown nearly to to ruins. The wooden structure over the reservoirs of the water works, was

CRUSHED IN J1Y FALLING STONES

and the new house occapied by the man whe attends to the head gates, was demolished, though none of the inmates were hurt. The hill from the explosion down to the creek in the canyon, was thickly strewn with fragments of wood, while on the west side nothing bu rocks fell. At the time of the explosion about thirty boys were playing ball on the .Deseret base ball grounds behind the old city wall and down the hiil westerly from the magazines. They say that two or thrte boys were noticed at the magazines a short time before the occurrence, and that their attention was directed that way by the firing.of a gun which was immediately followed by the first explosion, the concussion of which knocked them down. They took the situation in at a glance, and about the time they were picking themselves up. to run to a place of safety the second explosion occurred, knocking tbem down again and showering about them rocks of all sizes. They bad time to get behind the old citv wall and lie down before

THE LAST MAGAZINE BLEW UP,

and there they remained for some niin utes when, leaving their coats and hats, they fled in the wildest excitement for home. Some of these boys say that the shot heard immediately preceeding the explosion was fired at a flock Of wild geese that happened to be flying over, and others say, that, al though there was a string of wild geese passing at the time, the shot did not seem to be fired at tbem. The rumor was afloat last night that Mr. B. W. E. Jennens, agent for the Dupont Powder Company, owing to the fact that some thoughtless persons were in the habit of using these building3 for targets, had several men at work on his magazine, putting in a set of new iron doors, and that probably these workmen had, by some carelessness, caused the explo sion, but later developments show that they were not at work there yesterday afternoon, the doors not then being ready to hang, so that this rumor proves groundless. Last evening the boot on one of the legs at the City Hall was recognized:aB being that worn by a sixteen year old son of the widow Richardson, of the Fourteenth Ward. Yesterday this young man, accompanied by another of about his own age, the son of Mr. Archie Hill, took a gun, and the two-went on the beach to shoot. TBEV both failed to put in an appearat tbeir respective homes last night,and beyond question they are thev at whose hands the magazines were blown up, which was doubtless

THE RESULT OP TROUGHTLE8SNESS,

Just how it was caused will never be known, but it is likely that one of them flred a ball which palsed through the door of one of the buidings, and penetrating a, keg of powder in a heated condition, ignited it, causing the explosion. The appearance of the city after the explosion bore strong testimony to the power of forty-five tons of powder, theio being scarcely a house which was not more or less daqaaeed by the shocks. In the twentieth ward there is hardly a house the windows on the north and west sides of which' are not completely demolished. First and Second South streets suffered very severely. The north windows in the Emporium building were all more or less shattered, and the Exchanse building, Deseret National Bank, Calder & Careless's, Bwyer'a, Coliner & Co.'s, W. F. Raybould's, the Wasatch Drug store, and "My new co-operative store," each lost from.ohe'to three large lights of plate glass by the shocks, while

could be shoveled up anywhere along Main street. The city presented a Worse appearance than it wonld if it had been shelled. Veterans of the war say that Fredericksburg after beingbombarded for a month did not Bhow BO much sign of wreck as Salt Lake did from the effects of the great blow

np The four magazines were represented as follows: The Spnta Cruse Company and the Oriental Company, Walker Brothers, agents, 1,503 lretrs of powder Dupont Powder Co.. B. W. 15. Jennens agent, 900 kegs of powder Hazard Powder Company, Z. C. M. I., agents, (100 kegs of powder total, 3,000 kegs, or about fortv-fivo tons. The loss on the powder and buildings is estimated at §36,000, while tho damage done to the buildings in the city can not be calculated. Five lives are known to have been lost, and possibly more the two boys who were blown to pieces, Mrs. Vaoatta, the little boy Raddon and the babe mentioned above. When the explosion occurred some people thought that the day of judgment was como and lelt a weakness in tho knees, others believed it to be a earthquake and volcano, and certainly it resembled this more than any thing else, for the smoke and debris raised in columns as grand as old Vesuvius evcrjbelched forth,others thought that the Prophet had determined to drive out the

THE ltOWLEU ESTATF.

An Autliorilivo Statement ftt Last.

WIS AT THE EtDflSI UJSII1 HAS TO SAY.

A Conclusive Defense of Hon. George H. Pendleton.

From tlio Cincinnati Enquirer. One of our reporters, hearing that Mr. Geo. P. Bowler, one of the principal heirs in interest to tlio Bowler estate, to which the Republican press are giving such tender care just now, was in the city, called upon him yesterday. He found him at his office, that of General Manager of the Kentucky Central Railroad. As no one directly interested has spoken on the subject yet,we thought a talk with Mr. Bowler on the subject would be good reading. After the exchange of the usual courtesies, we opened up with

When did you return, Mr. Bowler? Mr. Bowler— Day before yesterday, having been detained in Baltimore by the illness of Mrs. Bowler.

Reporter—It was alter you left, I believe, that the original charges against Mr. George H. Pendleton were first made public?

Mr. Bowler—It was on the very Monday morning that I left. I had expected to leave the Saturday previous, but being detained until Monday,took the 11 A. M. train on Monday from Cumminsville. I read the papers that morning

Reporter—You seem to have given the matter no public attention? Mr. Bowler—No even if I had cared to. I have ran home since for four days, and that was because of and during the absence of all tho officers of the railroad—Mr. Pendleton, Mr, Ernst and Mr. Ransen—at Washington, wnen mo b^o^o.a oi tho roA&^fiauired my entire time.

Reporter—I would very much like to have your comments on the affair for the Enquirer.

Mr. Bowler—Well, I have no ofcjec UUU, YROVIDXIFL„YOU'

'JIA-Kteaiszht

of the story, which nobody seems yet to have done. Reporter—Did not Mr. William Ernst, in an Enquirer interview, give the Kentucky Central Railroad's vorsion of the affair correctly?

Mr. B.—He gave the public business of the road correctly, but did not treat, as in fact he could not, of the private affairs which have been raked up and misrepresented since.

Reporter (drawing an Enquirer of the 10th of March, 187G, from his pocket)—Why, he is reported as saying, "The whhle matter can be summed up in a nut shell: Mr. Pendleton is not the guardian of the Bowler heirs. He did not elect himselt President of the road. Ho did not contract with himself to collect this claim. His compensation was fixed in advance by the road's Board of Control. The Board is satisfied with the result, and as it is a private matter, I think the public ought to be satisfied also."

Mr. Bowler—That is not what I mean. I referred to the administratorship of our estate in which Mr. Pendleton has falsely been accused of taking advantage of minsr heirs.

Reporter—You dont look much like a minor. If not impertinent, how old are you

Mr. Bowler—I am in my thirty-first year. Reporter—How old were yon, then when Mr. Pendleton collected that claim?.

Mr. Bowler—I was twenty-five. Reporter—You are related tc Mr, Pendleton, I believe

Mr. Bawler—He is my uncle, being my mothers eldest brother. That's all.

Reporter—You have of course read the comments of the press of tho country? Would you object to sitn plifying matters'by giving a succinct statement of the whole affairs?

Mr. Bowler—Certainly not. Reporter—Well, I should be glad to have it in that shape.

Mr. Bowler then proceed to make the statement, which ran, substantially as follows:

During my five week's absence I have read with the greatest indigna tion the scurrilous articles contaiDing the unjust and malicious attacks upon Mr. Pendleton. I was a member of the Board of Control of the Kentucky Central Railroad at the time the arrangement was made fixing 'his compensation lor the collection of the claim against the government, and it met with my hearty consent, and lull approval. My mother, in her own interest and as guardian of the two minor children, was consulted, although that was not obligatory according to the articles of the association of the K. C. R. R., and the arrangement was unhesitatingly confirmed by her. The settlement as made by Mr. P. to the Board was entirely satisfactory to us and is now. My brother, now within a few months of his majority, has expressed himself in the most, positive terms,as to the justice of the compensation, and gives it his most cordial approval.

My father died July 4, lS6i, and gince that time Mr. P. has had charge of the estate and of the separrte property of my mother. By

110

words can

I convey onr feeling in regard to the faithful and unselfish ^manner in which he has devoted bis time and talents to the administration of the trust. He sacrificed his convenience, private interest and practice of bis profession. At the time of my father's death there were large debts which were paid, not by the sacrifice of valuable securities, but by money raned by Mr. Pendieton on bis individual credit and the pledge of his private fortune. This continued for years. Several law-suits, involving large amounts of money and very intricate questions, were pending at tne time of my father's death. One required the attendance of Mr. Pendleton and counsel for weeks on several occasions at Cleveland. The suit of the Covington Lexington Railroad Company vs. Bowler heirs and others, was protracted

through ten years of constant and severe litigation. It went through all the courts of Kentucky, and finally on rehearing in the Court of Appeals, was sent bank to. the lower court to begin anew as to the infant defendants. It was then compromised, after a year of constant and painful negotiations. No one can appreciate except those interested, and who lived in daily intercourse with Mr. Pendleton, the labor and anxiety and unremitting strain imposed by his unceasing vigilance in behalf of his trust. The magnitude of the interests involved in the railroad litigation you may imagine when you remember that the attorneys employed against us were allowed ?1.000,000 of stock for their compensation*

We feel that to him we owe the preservation ot tho estate, and that for bis services and attention no pecuniary compensation can express our gratis tude and thankfulness for his exertions in our behalf. But in that respect, as far as money goes, he shall be fully rewarded: The citizens of Cincinnati know that the estato has been managed to the best advantage, and that these attacks from abroad, under pretense of protecting our interest, are prompted by partisan malignity alone.

Reporter—One more question, Mr. Bowler. Do you knw anything of the allegation that Mr, Pendleton used money in the prosecution of the claim

Mr. Bowler—I am perfectly satisfied that it i3 absolutely false in every particular.

After somo further conversation of no particular interest, we took leave ol Mr. Bowler, who in appearance and address is a thorough business man, and a man of the world not in much need ol a "guardian" even to protect his interests against the efforts of a Company backed by such attorneys as a §1,000,000 fee would naturally enlist.
