late, the plant is healthy and free from
insects, witli indications of an increased
yield over that of last year.

A Findlay, Ohio, special says that at 2:30
Saturday morning everybody in that city
was awakened by a trefnendous shock
that rocked every building, and breaking

nitro-glycerine works, situated four miles
cast of the city. A hole was made in the
ground business large enough to take in a four
story reduced kindling block, while the factory,
to wood, is scattered
for a miie in every direction. No one
was in or about the works, hence no loss
of life. Five tons of nitro-glyceriue went
up. No estimate of the loss is yet ob¬
tainable. Specials from all points in
northwestern Ohio show that the shock
was felt for over lorty miles in every di¬
rection and was generally attributed to
an earthquake.
