The telegraphic columns of the Tele
graph yesterday mornlDg contained a full
account of a terrible explosion inaChicago
oatmeal mill,by which three men were
sent into eternity almost instantly.
The account excited considerable inter
est among the readers of the Telegraph,
many of whom are, no doubt, anxious to
know the probable cause of the disaster.
Wishing to give its readers the benefit
of the opinions of chemists in the matter,
the Telegraph, during the day, requested
several well-known gentlemen of the pro
fession to throw some , light upon the
subject.
Prof. L. B. Clifton, who is a practical
chemist, was^seen and asked Jby a reporter
his opinion as to the cause of the ex-
plosion.
“I can give you illustrations of the
subject in hand and I can give you a
common sense explanation of the explo
sion,” said that gentleman, and, upon being
assured by thereporterthat he was in search
of such an explanation, he proceeded
“Any substance, sueh as iron, steel
dour, grits, oat meal, paper, or, in fact,
anything, tnav cause an explosion under
certain conditions, and I will give you
those conditions in a few words.
“Take, for instance, the oat meal as il
lustrated in yesterday’s report. The grain
is composed of nitrogen and carbon with

silica, all held together in certain propor-

meal into dust and get it into minute
atoms, and you have an explosive as pow

gunpowder.
“Well, this dust or finely pulverized
powder, no matter of what substance it is
made, when put into active circulation, so
that it .floats around in a room, is subject
to ignition. A match struck in a room
with the dust flying around arfll in proper
condition will cause an explosion and

THE HOOK FOK 110OKKKKPKK.S.
There was a breezy discussion over
introduction ol a paper from several of
the most prominent members, requesting
the bishop not to require the rending of
the reporte from the preacher*. Bishop
Duncan, W. B. Bill, J- O. A. Clark and
A. M. Wynn took park Tlie conference,
on motion, laid the paper on the table.
CHARACTERS I'AMEP. _
The bishop took up the twentieth ais-
ciplinary question: “Are all the preach
ers blameless in their life and official ad
ministration?” and the fo lowing were
called and their characters passed:
T. T. Christian, presiding elder of the
Savannah district; J. B. McGehee, of the
Macon district; J. W. Hinton, of the
Thomsaville district; P. 8. Twitby, of tlie
Americus district; J. O. A. Cook, of the
Wavcro** district; J. O. A. Clark, of th(
San’dersville district; J. D. Anthony, of
the Brunswick district.
These reports showed progress through
out the conference. That of Macon dis
trict to very encouraging, and la credita
ble to the zeal and consecration of that
veteran iu i'uv vcililv*, IUv. J. B. JIo-
Gebeo.
The bishop called question two: “Who
remain on trial?”
The following having stood approved
examinations before the committee, theit
characters were passed and they were con
tinued on trial:
G. P. Roberts, P. L Stokes, W.E. Mom-
ford, VL J. Adam?, J. W. Connors, Vf.

was referred to the board of education.

Augusta, Dec. 12.—[8pecial.]—A little
S*tir was caused in Waynesboro commercial
circles yesterday. One of J. H. McKenzie
& Co.’s creditors filed a creditor’s bill for

asked that a receiver be appointed.
The firm claim they have an excess of
assets. Their liabilities are from $80,000
to §100,000. Only one creditor filed
cced tor’s bill, which, it is understood, is a
Charleston house. Their troublo is be
lieved to have been on account of poor col
lections. Their real estate is mortgaged,
and a considerable amount ol their paper
hat been hypothecated to secure loans.

Prof. Clifton then took a tuba with open
ends and reaching to a gas jet filled it with
gas, allowing n certain, quantity to escape.
He then corked one end, and rr.'paring a
light, he applied it to the other end. A
flash and a sharp report quickly followed.
The gas intermixed with the air and ex
ploded.
“f could make for you several other ex
periments,” concluded Prof. Clifton, “but
all would have the sama result.”
The Telegraph was unable to gat an
expression from several other chemists as
to the cause, but the above seems to meet
with general approval and endorsement.
