Tbo Silt Lake Tribune gives the following full accouDt of the appalling powder ibagazine explosion there:
About 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the city was startled by three terrific reports, caused by the explosion of the (our powder magazines on Arsenal Hill. There wero three distinct reporte, and they followed caehotber in such quick succession that people had merely time to get out of their houses the glass windows in nearly evory building in the city were simultaneously shaken out chimneyB fell in, many teams on the etreets ran awav, and everybody arid everything for a few minutes seemed
TEKKOIt STRICKEN.
Dense columns ot smoke rose with wonderful volocity 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 ot the explosion. Oa arriving there, they found that whero tha four magazines had stood, four holes were leit, and the ground was strewn with small fragments of the building,_ an iron door being the only whole thing from the wreck. For halt a mile around there had fallen a perfect
SHOWER OF STONES
of all sizes, piec9S of boards, of powder cans, and a few mangled fragments of the unfortunate man or men who were blown into eternity by this terrible explosion. A portion of a human scalp with the bair on was first found, then a foot and a portion of one leg nearly to the knee was picked up, finally anothGr foot and leg to above the knee, witu a boot and*some fragments of pantaloons 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 buggv and taken to the City Hall, where many people went to seo them. Two acres, immediately around the spot where one of the magazines stood, were strewn with pieces oi giant powder, broken into all sizes. The buildings in City creek canyon, situated immediately below the magaj zines. were almost completely demolished. Brigbam Young's Empire Flourinir mill was blown nearly to to ruins. The wooden structure oyer the resorvoirs of the water works, was
CRUSHED IN DY FALLING STONES,
and the new house occupied by the man whe attends to the head SSat®si was demolished, though none of the inmates were hurt. The hill 'ke explosion down tothecreek in the canyon, was thickly strewn with fragments of wood, while on the west side nothing but rocks fell. At the time of the explosion about thirty boys were playing ball on the Daseret 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 «1orf time before the occurrence, and that their attention was directed that way by the firing of a gun which was immediately lollowed by the farst explosion, the ooncussion 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 Becond explosion occurred, knocking them down again and showering about them rocks sizss. They had time to get behind the old city wall and lie down before
THE LAST MAGAZINE BLEW UP
and there they remained for some minutes when, living their coats and hats, they fled in the wildest excitement for home. Some of these boys say that the shot beard immediately nreceeding the explosion was fired at a flock of wild geese that happened to be flying over, and others say, that, although there was a string of wild geese passing at the time, the shot did not feem to be tired at them. 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 buildings for targets, had several men at work on bis magazine, putting in a set of
new
*rond°or?»
and that probably these workmen had, by some carelessness, caused the explesion. but later developments show that they wero not at worK
th®rf.y
afternoon, the doors not then being ready to hang, so that this rumor proves groundless. Last evenin*. the boot on one of the legs at the City Hall was recognized as being that worn by a sixteen year old son of the widow Richardson, of the Fourteenth ard. Yesterday this young man, accompanied by another of about his own age, the son of Mr. Archie H1H, took a aun, 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 they at whose hauds the magazines were blown up, which was doubtless
THB RESULT OF THOUGHTLESSNESS. Just how it was caused will never be known, but It is likely that one of them flred a ball which passed through the door of one of the buidings, and penetrating a keg of powder in a heated SndiSon, ignited *it, causing the explosion. The appearance of the city after the explosion bore strong testimony to the power of forty-five
1tons
of powder, theie being scarcely a house which was not more or less damaged by the shocks. In the twentieth ward there is hardly a bouse the windows on the north and.west sides of which are not completely demolished. First and Second South streets suffered very severely, xne north windows in the Emporium building were all more or less shattered, and the Exchange building,
Deseret National Bank, Calder ft Careless's, Dwyer's, Culmer «ft Co.'s, *V Raybould's, the Wasatch Drug store, and "My new co-operative store," each
lost from one to three large lights ot plate glass by the shocks, while WHEELBARROW LOADS OF BROKE*
GLASS
conld be shoveled up anywhere along Main street. Tbo ciy presented a worse appearance than it would if it had been shelled. Veterans of the war say that Fredericksburg after being bombarded for a month did not show so much sign of wreck as Salt Lake did from the eflects of the great blow up. The four magazines were represented as follows: The Cruse Company and the Oriental Company, ^Valker Brothers, agents, 1.50j keen of rowder Dupont Powder Co., B. VV Jennene agent, 900 kegs of POWi-» Hazard Powder Company, Z. t.M. I., agents, (500 kegs of powter total, 3,000 kegs, or about forty-five Tons. ihe loss on the powder and buildings is estimated at $36,000, while the damage done to the buildings in the_c^ty can not be calculated. Five lives are knwn to have been lost, and possibly more the two boys who were b'own topieces, Mrs. Vauaita, the little boy Haddon and the babe mentioned above. When the explosion occurred some people thought tpat the day oi judgment was come and telt a weak noss in the knees, otners believed it to bo a earthquake and volcano, and certainly it resembled this more loan any thing else, for the smoke and ciebris raised in columns as grand as old esuvius eveiibelched forth,others thought that the Prophet bad determined to drive out tho ..Gentiles effectually by blowing up the City ot the Saints, and some at first thought the Co-op. steam engine had exploded,

BLAINE.
Washington, April 11.—The story credited.to the Indianapolis Sentinel of yesterday, has been in circulation for some time past in private political circles. Mr. Blaine was made acquainted with it and promptly denied it, statiog that it is entirely
SENSATIONAL AND UNFOUNDED. The story as repeated in Washington circles was that a draft was paid for Mr. Blaine's benefit by Morton, Bliss & Co., of New York, and was afterwards taken up and paid by E. H. Rollins, Treasurer of the Union Pacific railroad company. In taking measures^ recently to correct it, Mr. Blaine received the following letter:
New York, April 6,1876._
To Hon. J. G. Blaine, Washington, D.C.: Dear Sir—In answer to your inquiry we beg leave to say that no draft, note, or check or other evidence of value has ever passed through our books in which you were knowu or supposed to hav0 any interest of any kind, direct or indirect. [Signed,] Very rospectfully,
MORTON, BLISS & Co.
Also the following: OFFICE UNION PACIFIC R. R. CO., BOSTON, March 31. To Hon. J. G. Blaine, Washington,
D. C.: DEAR SIR-IU response to your inquiry, I beg leave to state that I have neen treasurer ot the U. P. R. R. Co. since April 8th, 1871, and have necessarily known of all the disbursements made since that date, and during that entire period up to the present time. I am sure that no money has been paid in any way or to any person by this company in which you were interested in any manner whatever. I make this statement injustice to the company, to you and to myself. Very respectfully, [Signed.] E. H. ROLLINS.
BABCOCK*
Ne .v York, April 11.—A Washington special to the Post says: Col. Broadhead was before the sub judiciary committee to-day, and was examined in reference to any possible Inside history in the trial of Babocck. He said that before the trial information was brought to him tbat two of the detec i-ives employed in the safe burglary were in St. Louis, and interested in Babcock, to steal evidence out of the district attorney's office, and tbat their plan was discovered, whereupon they left the city after they bad been paid $200 each, for their expenses, by Babcock's friends. Broadbead then told the committee bow the prosecution ascertained the history of Gill, the letter carrier, in connection with the case. The latter was procured as a witness by Parker, collector of Colorado Territory, after consulting with Joyce. The prosecution were afraid to put Parker on the stand lor fear that his testimony would be in he interest of Babcock.
AVERY.
Washington, April 11,—W. A. Avery was
before
the committee on whisky
trials in St. Louis to-day. It was reported that he would make Btartllng revelations, but he says that be only gave a full statement of all the knowledge in his possession in relation to the trials and circamstances which led to his own trial and conviction. Avery will return to St. Louis to-night, SHCOND CHAPTER OF THB ATTACK BT
THE INDIANAPOLIS BENTINEL ON BLAINE. No article which has appeared in the press of this city for months created the excitement in political and social circles which was caused yesterday when the editorial article chargiug Blaine with a f64,000 fraud was circu-, lated through the oolamns of the Sentinel. The Government henchmon met on the street corners and smiled audibly, shaking hands across the bloody chasm and congratulating themselves tbat the prospects were fair for putting another candidate,
whose shadow was faltini^Morton's' p*tb, out of the wayOK®9' rigid examination. The pontomt^l cl que especially showed the rtjotoing in their faces and it was of a kind that seemed to say: "It works as wo expected." Tbe fact turned out to be, as developed later in tbo day, tbat the damaging disclosures agaiust Blaine had been kept under lock and key in the Morton arsenal f^r months and that hi* henchmen wpre Quietly wailing tbeir tiOie to spring the indictment against the competitor. Also it seems that a government caucus on this very matter was held in the postrffic* building several weekd ago, at which the question was
DP-CUSSED AT GREAT LENGTH,
and the time set for opening battenefsir May 1. The revelation" inadeyesderday by tbo Sentit el were somewhat premature in the t»es ol the ring, but that little disturbance was »on» fotcrot ten. The bull had been buried, and such a shape that it would have to roll till it reached the capital, and Ktartrd a congressional investigation of the exSpeaker. The question all hangs on the accuracy of the charges and the po&sibility of proving them beyond a lub:. In order to find out how this ni-ttter stood a Sentinel reporter cilled upon Mr. Jobn O. S. Harrison, tne gentleman wbo had command ol the tacts, aud had kept, i. ho:n icri'dl.v for four veirs, till they wou'd oe ol benefit to Senator Morton. Mr. Harrison was found in bi-j«lprnenr, another word for his bank, a smile of grim satisfaction on his lace, and a fragrant weed in his mouth. He s$em to take things easily when the subject was broached and showed a disposition to accept the position to which bo had been driven
HA RHI SON INTERROGATED. "Mr. Harrison," said the reoorter, you havo no doubt been bored to death to-day bv interviewers about this business?" "Ob, no," ho replied, "I have simply refused one and all of th«m any extended statement about the matter, for I think it tlw best policy on my part to bold lire till the committee asks for my testimony. If they order me to speak I aui ready and shall certaiuly tell nil I know. "Well, sir, the charges made are just now of national interest and importance, and the people would be glad to know that in general, if uot in detail, you substantiate them." "I don't want any newspaper notoriety." he blandly repliee. "But about the dates given must any change be made in them?" "No," he quickly answered aud then seeing he had perhaps, committed himself be said, "it was a first-class gue*s." "You have been one of the Government directors of the road for some time, Mr. Harrison?" "Yes, for six years." "How manv are there?" "Vive, and'three then serving are still on the board Mr. Wilson, of Iowa. Mr. Mallard and myself." "It was not Mr. Wilson that urged you to withdraw that resolution about the money?" "Oh, no, it was RoRins, the Sacrotary," and then he remarked confidentially: "He came to me and said it would never do to press that investigation. Easy enough to show that when the time comes, though. I'd rather not go into details at present." •'Well, Blaine certainly must have had some connection with the Padific road in some legal capacity?" "Not a bit of it. Hu never was employed that I know of, and I would have some knowledge of it if he had been. He was speaker of the Housa at that time—1871." "Of course you know nothing of his services to the road?" "I cai*'t say thafc, I do, but I feel convinced the money went into his pockets."
SEVEItAL FRANTIC EFFORTS
were naade to induce tho gentleman to go into sonie details, but without effect. He blandly declined the honor of placing himself on record auy where but before the commtStee. He felt that Rollins would not dare to repudiate^ his story about the resolution. He' stated that this matter had been kuown in some circles for many months. As for himself, he has been confessedly in charge of au administration fraud for four years, and yet has held bis tongue. This fact will be counted against him by all lovers of honesty in the administration of great trusfe, but when the affair was first known, the relations between Morton and Blaine were decidedly different, and the time has at length arrived for Mr. Harrison's conscience to come to the surface.

Mr. Stevart usually breakfasted at S o'clock, his meal ordinarily consisting of plain bread, a bit of fish, an egg, and some oatmeal porridge. Then ne was driven down to his retail establishment, where he spent two or three hours walking through every part of it, asking the salesmen the prices of goods in order ascertain whether they were ap in their duties, and observing bow affairs were carried on. Then he went down in his carriage to the wholesale store. There he read bis letters, and transacted business until six o'clock.' Fo many years he was accustomed to Uine at Oelmonico's, on the oppssite side of Broadway, but latterly ne dined at home. Getting an

SUPERSTITION.
It is well knowu that Mr. Stewart was extremely superstitious. The slightest incidents or accidents became to him impressive omeas. The fact that he caused an apple woman who for many years vended her edibles on the sidewalk in front of his store to be removed, stand and all, to his up-town store, under tbe impression that her presence insured his prosperity, is well authenticated.
