Minneapolis, Minn.: May 2.—At 7 o'clock this evening the city was shaken as by earthquake by a terrific explosion, which

was

Instantly destroyed Thompson & Hoyt's apd the Humboldt mills, and flames immediately burst out, communicating to the Galaxy mills, those of Peril, Robinson & Co., Cahill, Ankeny & Co., L. Day & Sons, Day & Rollins, Buell, Newton & Co., ar.d Carton, 11 ay ward & Co the Washburne A and U. mills and lesser structures down the bank ot the river nearlv to the Minneapolis $?y and St. Louis railroad shops. The destruction trom the 6hock of the explosion extended trucli further, glass being wrecked for several squares, and buildings shaken throughout the city.' At 8:30 the fire was raging within these limits, and the firemen were working valiently to

Walter Savage. Patrick Judd, Ed. Merrill watchmen, Harry Hicks, K. W. Burbank, one unknown. August Smith was blown out of the window but not killed. .,

Diamond Mill—John Bover, killed David Ward, who had gone out alter a paij of water, aud escaped unhurt.

Galaxy Mill—Joe Manti, in the third story, after the mill was blown out, jumped down into the canal and escaped unhurt.

Zenith Mill—Two men, Widstrum and Fred George. In Pettii. Robinson & Co.'s mill Dean Day was thrown out of the window and injured.

A later investigation confirms the opinion that the first estimates of thie loss of life were exaggerated. The number ot dead is now placed at 17. There were many brilliant incidents and narrow escapes. Daniel Day was blown the whole length of Tettit & Robinson's mill and through a window, and escaped.

THE MILLS DESTROYED.

The liye flouring mills which were involved in the disaster form agtoup which comprises the heaviest concerns in the state. Chief amcng them were the two Washl urne mills, the property of ex-Gov-ernor C. C. Washburne of Wisconsin, of which the one in which the explosion occurred was the largest flouring mill in the country, and the largest but* one in the world.

It was built in 1S70, included 41 run of stone, and was worth $200,000 It is now a smoking mass of ruins with its companion on the "platform." The destruction is "complete so far as the limits above named and serious within much wider bounds. The flames are still raginfi in. the ruins, but are under control, and no further extension is feared. It is now hoped the dead will be confined to the fourteen mentioned ir. the Washburn mill.

AT ST. PAUL.

St. Paul, Minn.. May 2.—The shock of the Washburne mill at Minneapolis •was plainly felt here, and the flames were seen, creating ititense excitement in vari ous parts of tne city.

Pieces of charcoal, roof paper, small timbers and cinders were picked np and hurled in the air by the xplosion, and brought here, nine miles distant, by the wind. News was received here by telegraph immediately, and tire engines •were made ready to send, but the inability to secure transportation prevented their arrival in time to be of use. There were, no trains to Minneapolis after the news was received, but hundreds of people went up by road, the livery stables being ptied in an hour,

THE INSURANCE.

t. St. Paul, May 2.—The Pioneer-Press publishes in the morning the following as the total insurance stated by the companies represented by the several mills destroyed: Humboldt Ball, Newtort & Co., $44,500 Pettit & Robinson, 000 Galaxy, Wetrkeny, $75,000 Wasburn

The explosion took place at the hour for changing the day for the night hands, aiitl many of both were undoubtedly in the building. Twenty-two men went on in the Washburne mill at 6:30, none of wh5m have been heard from up to 8:30. Many others of th* day forcc must have been in the building.

THE DECISION. j,

1 *4k,„ From Friday's Daily. La^t night the Baptist coufifcit, which has with closed doors been considering the question of Mr. Henderson's resignation, came to a decision as printed below. The document will be printed below. The council consisted of Rev. G. W. Northrup, D. D. president of the Baptist theological seminary at Chicago*, Rev. W. T. Stott. D. L\. president of Franklyn college Rev. Lemuel Moss, D. D., president of Indiana State University Rev. S. Haskell, D. D., of Ann

and Mr. Jno. Kenower, of Hun

tington. The committee appointed by the council now in session, in accordapc with the summons of the Baptist church of Terre Haute, Indiana, to advise upon the question whether it wowld be in accordance with the usages and principles of the Baptist denomination, that the Rev. C. R. Henderson, in view of his present doctrinal position, should continue to serve the church in the relation ot pastor, beg leave to leport the following for adoption as a statement of the cqnclusion reached.

The doctrinal position of Brother Henderson, as stated "by himself, is as follows:

I. Saye in rfespect to that one which is presently to be mentioned. I hold to the doctrines of the Christian l.iith as they are formulated in the articles generally adopted bv the Baptist churches.

II. Upon the subject of sin and retribution, I hold equally to the following point which I understand to be in consistence with the tuiih of churches of the Baptist denomination: (a.) 1 believe the scriptures teach that there are two classes of persons the regenerate and the unregenerate, those Who love God and those who do not. (b.) I believe that this radical distinc tion holds aftjr death as will a* now. (c I believe that a sinful being, even under Gospel light, would never come to God without the efficacious operation of the Holy Spirit. (d) 1 believe that the Bible teaches that in the future world there is a separation between those whom God sees to be and pronounces to be holy, and thos^ who are unholy, that this separation occurs at death that there will be one general judgement for the who'c earth, in whicti God will manifest to all moral h"* ings the rectitude of hie treatment of the two grand divisions of our race. (e) I believe that punishment ii the

III. Upon the deration of future punishment. I would wish to say:

upon which l" am in doubt is thif: ^Vhether there'may not be possibilities ol salvation even after death, under some exercise of the divine mercy, though I cannot atVirm that any morai being, after he has gone from this world, impenitent, can actually repent and tuin to Go I. (3.) While, as above mentioned, I have thaught that there were some glegms of hope"of the final extirpation of sin. in some passages of scripture, I cannot preach anniti'lationism. nor restoi ationism. because I do not think they are tnuifht in the word ot God. My earnest desire is to preach Christ in all the oflices and relations in which !-te is revealed. (4.) As respects the salvability of the heathen, 1 do not believe that anv heathen is ever saved without Christ, but I am not sure whether a personal knowledge of Christ, as a Savior, is in all ca-es tssential to salvation. This cannot, however, lessen our obligation to prcach the gospel to every creature.

I desire that it'be understood that the doctrinal difficulties here stated are held as subjects of futtire study and inquiry. Subsequent reflection has led me to think that my divergence of views from the yie.vs held by the denomination on the subject of future punishment, was not of itself, apart from the impression that my general position was misunderstood, suf ficient to have led me to resign my pas torate, my difficulties being chiefly speculative rather than founded on statements of the word of God. Whatever

may

II. While Bit

if 'r^'

questions

arise in connection with, my published statement on March 24, 1S7S, I make this as a more mature and deliberate expression ot my views.

CiiARLiis R. HENDERSON

I. Touching the above statement the council, in all points save those indicated by Bro. Henderson himself as bfcing still w'ith him subjects ot inquiry, recognize it a* ir. lull accord with the articles of faith held and taught in Bapt'st churches. As to his doubts upon the subj .ct of future panishment, while we do not wish to pass judgement upon his having, ente tained them as mental inquiiies, we tind no scriptural warrant for them and should they in his case become confirm as matters of belief, ihey would constituie a disqualification for the exercise ol the ministry in one denomination, our belief as Baptist being that the state -of those who die in impenitence is a fixed state of sinful ch.irac er, and one of endless i-uilcring.

Hendersons difficul

ties, as shown in his sturemen*, have arisen chitfly from such represen:aiious of the doctrine of future punishment as our denomination, equally with himself disapprove, we call his serious attention to his loose forms ot statement, ambiguous and inaccurate phraseology, v.Jiosa tendency, is to mislead his hearers, and lav himself open to misconstruction

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETJiS

MEETING OFTHE.TERKE HAUTE HORTICULTURAL bO£JETY

This society held its May meeting at the Sugar Grove school house, May

2nd.

Not .vithstanding the very busy time of the year for house cleaning, gardening and farming. There was quite a full nreeting, and the exercise were more than usually interesting and lively. The president of the society, Joseph Gilbert Esq, presided. The secretary, Mr*. Warner, was on hand to read the minutes of the last meeting, and to record the present.

Owing to the? absence cf some members, appointed to make written reports and read essays, the society was obliged to call for verbal, volunteer contribution---. Mr. Lawrence Hei..e! made a verbal report on the larger fruits, and made a statement that very many of the cherry, pear, and peach blossoms were injured by fiost, and w^re dropping off baaly.

Mr. Schultz made practical remarks and suggestions regarding the marketing of fruits and vegetables, in competition with the importers of such articles. He thought it was untair and ir tsi that the authorities should allow marketing of vegetables during the v\(Wle day, ana 'by the hucksters, *. il.i'out pa ing a duty or tax equal to the renter of a market stand. He thought if the market wa§confined to certain hours of the iorenuort it would be better.

Mr. Alfred Pegg volunteered verbal remarks, and spoke very hopefully of all kinds of fruits, and thought the prospect better than c-ver kn'bwn. lie stated that the^ was a grfeat demand in other pla* for their surplus vegetables.

Air. John Weir read a very interesting report on cookery, comparing the modern wav Of roasting and baking in a cook Stevens inferior to the old way of doing it in the Dutch and brick ovens. He admitted thatth* science of preparing our food was adiflicult one, and that the customs and tastes had so changed, that all tilings had become new.

At 1 o'clock a reces? of one hour for dinner was 'demanded and carried into effect. About fortv sa down to a most tasteful and bounteous basket dinner, served with the best ct*.(lioflee, seasoned with cream and sugar.

Business And e'xeicises were iesuim-d at

o'clock.

Mrs. Geo Diiy read an essay, or cnapter, on flowers and from Samuel Osgood's Hook.

accuses

of hahitualy smoaking opium, lie goes, in this, beyond the proposal of Kwuh who was willing to allow three years for reform: but the prccaeding is all the more indicative of ea. neatness, and tallies in this resn'tct withjhe measures taken on his first assumption of office, to suppress smoking by making resort to the opium shops more dificult anp disgrace ful. This idea cf checking the practice with the higher orders, by making it discreditable, and so affording a better example to the people, seems to be levding idea with the statsmen though Shen-Pao-chen is goine into rather mora acttivc measuros of repression than Kwoh seemed to contemplate. And there is no doubt that opium smoking is theoretically considered disreputable, although the practic is so common that there seems to bs a tacit understanding to overlook it Perhaps it was a conviction of this fact which induced the viceroy to advocate more stringent measures. The occasional disgrace of an official for indulging in the drug has not, we beleivt' been unusual, even befor Shen only hands uy a more than usual large batch of victims at:d in case of Liu Hien taotai of Hwa -ngan and Yangehow. he strikes an official holding a more important, though perhaps less lucrative post than the taotai of Shanghai.

To the E 1 itor the Yo W01 Id. SIP: There was exhibited for vears in London, at the Polytechnic Institute in Langhatn place, by the well-known popular science professor. Pepper (the evolver of Pepper's ghost), a machine which he explained wotrld, but for wear and tear, go on forever. It resembled a round table constantly tilted by a hall swiftly running in a groove, its action being evidently governed by the force of gravitation ingeniously applied, and the whole arrangement being similar in principle, though not in form, to the device mentioned in the pathetic lale of Mr. David M. Stone, published in your co umns on Sunday last. A few billions of years more or less would, by rusting of springs or alteration of 0 parts by ,t!ie trituration of long-continued incessant friction, or the hostile invasion of vulgar dust, throw out of gear even the chamnionshin of which caused (horribile dic u:) the Journal of Commerce to be laughed at. 1 lie Sphinx and Pyramids of Egypt, are far sunk in mounds of ever-drifting band.

HEADING A CI TV 3Y STEAM, A, meeting ot" citizens ot' Auburn was held on the 24th inst. to consider the feas ibi.ity of introducing the Holly system of steam heating. Mr. Carlos Holly, of Lockport* gave a history of the system as it has been introduced and operated in Lwckport during the last winter. He said they have in Loi.kport some three miles of main pipes laid purposely, (in order fo lest the system financially )through sparsely settlsd streets, and that the)' furt.ish with heat duriug the winter some 70 consumers. The result shows that the system will pay. as thee yocansumers had been charged for warming dwellings the same amount as they had paid for their coal daring the previous winter, which amount reimburses the company fpr expenses. This was considered a thorough test, as in a thickly settled district the amount ofsteatn, ar.d on a given length of main, would be very imi.h inrcreased, and the result would be economical to the consumer, and profitable to the com pany. Mr. 11oliv stated that he was not fully prt'pa-.vd.

Mr. Grant statetl that he had visi'ed Lockport and examined .the systen, and was partiularly pleased with the feature of cooking with the steam, such as baking bread and broiling beefsteak, etc., .vhich could be done thoruugly, and he thought was a great improvement over the present modes ot cooking.

FOURTH OF JULY.

!t is Time to Commence Preparations for tha Celebration.

k.l.

Theie are now just eight weeks till the 4th of July. With her t« military companies as they will then be organized— her two elegant uniformed bands her long list of societies her splendid manufacturing establishments and the various other business and central attractions Terre Haute shouid give such a celebration as was never befo seen here. There is no ue repeating the benefits to be secured by a display of this character at that time. If not a man woman or child from outside places r4isited Terre Haute on that occasion the raving in keeping Terre Hauteans at home will amount :o thousands of dollars. We mu.t not ha\e our people going away to spend all they •have in other cities. Besides, Terre

Haute 16 the largest city in an extended circuit. Her smaller..t^ surrounding bister towns naturally look to her for a big entertainment on this great national holida)*. We must all stay at home and act at bests to our vast crowd of guests. We expect the trade of these people ar.d inustt eat them nicely when we have the opportunity.

The committee did good work last year. In all, save one particular—the industrial part of the procession—the celebration was a great and a pleasing success. The balloon ascension, the fire works, the speaking. the military parade, the street decorations were all excellent. The, peo pie remember Messrs. R. S. Cox, V. G. Dickhout, W. 11. Scudder, Jacob White, N. Fiibeck, L. F. Perdue, no. Regan and others for the work they did last year. They labored valiently for the interests of Terre Haute. Let them be remembered.

As soon as election is over and people have calmed'down all can uni'.c in this good cause add have a rousing ccjebnttion.
