ONE HUNDRED WERE KILLED.
Disastrous Explosion In a California
Powder Mill*
Rnn Francisco, Cal., July 0.—An ex
plosion occurred at the Giant and Jodson
imwder works, Jicar \Vb*t Berkeley,
shortly after 0 o’clock this monilug, de
stroying the works and much property
for several miles nrmind. Five shock*
were felt in thi* city within a few min
ute*, the last four being of terrific force,
shaking buildifigs, crocking a number of
wall* and breaking the plate glass in
building* eight blocks up from the water
front. The scene of the explosion i*
twelve miles from this city. The Giant
pow’der work* were completely de
stroyed. One hundred and eighty men,
uineipiUly Chinese, wore employed there,
t. Is now believed that 104 person* were
killed, including three white men. The
explosion set the adjoining building* on
fire,and, owing to the danger of an addi
tional explosion, no one is venturing
near the work* to stop the progress of
♦lie flame*. The fire is in close proximity
to a magazine containing 300 tons of
powder, and, as the fire I* spreading, it,
too, may lie destroyed.
Among the white men known to have
been killed nre: Wallace Dickenson,
Chrrte* Cnnbudy, John Bow. The
body of a Chinaman wn* found on tho
railroad track half a mile from the
works, The remains of a boy fright
fully mangier! was found near the scene.
Every window ir* fr.he county jnil at
Oakland wn* broken by the explosion.
All tho windows in the residem
the townnf West Berkley were broken
and several buildings aro reported de
stroyed.
At the office of the Giant Powder
Company In this city It was thought that
the .Tudson work*, which wero located
at Lobelle, about three miles from the
Giant powder works, were safe. Tho
Giant poWder work* are located at Point
Isabel nnd comprise five building* nnd
fhree magazine*. Of these building*
the arid and nitroglycerine works were
destroyed and at least one magazine
blown up. Other buildings not imme-
dlately destroyed took' fire. The loss on
property will be great.

“It has got to be a question of endur

sido, have morality, perfect order and
intelligent men, determined to stick firm.
The other side have millions of money.
Next, there will be no blowing up of

the men wish this should not be done.
There is content! present among tlie

that thre are scattered all around

are bring taken to be informed through
trusted men in the labor organisations
to keep tack of nil tlie important move
ments thnt may in any way bear upn tbe
situation here.
The men arc prepared for a prolonged
strike, and can, from their private
means, fully support themselves for
six uimilWi. The treasury or* the as
sociation Is also well supplied with
money, and contributions could also be
obtained fdstn many additional sources.
O'Donnell believe* that tlie first
move of Chairman - Frick of the newly
formed Carnegie'Company will be to
secure non union men who will agree
to go to work. This will necessarily
take some lima and until this la done it
is not thought Frick will he in nny hur

Thi was living talked of to avoid trouble

It is now certain that no posse will be

If I could get lino men to act a a deputies
they would be resitted. The strikrra say

Just what I will do I cannot say posi
tively. 1 wlU not take men up there to

“Will you again ask the aid of the gor-
emor't"
“That I do not know. I have asked

ha not come. I am hoping fr the best,
however, nnd wUl do nothing until I can

the looked ont men. They looked more
wealed this morning then since the riot,
and tho guards straggle around as if
completely exhausted. Very numerous
falw alarms have kept most of the men
from securing any eonUnuou* sleep, so
that not a few hare not slept twelve
honm since last Tneiday. The men.
however, never shirk their guard dnty,
and not one has yet been caught asleep
at his post. It can be said that today
there is no more pacific feeling locally
toward the authorities than has pre
vailed since the arrival ot the Pinker-
ton*. ' •
Sheriff McClesry mads a good Impres
sion among the mm with whom he eauie
in contact yesterday afternoon and his
denial of collusion in tending the Pink
ertons hero is generally accepted hy the
men. who are loth to *l>olievo such a

undoubtedly lie further trouble, howev

interest, was tho subject of discussiou
among the Central railroad stock and
security holders. The majority were
deased that tiiere U a plan of rrorgan-
xation on foot which promises to put
tilings ei, a sound foundation snd with
a fair prosper* of success.
A Uratoratinu of Confidence.
The announcement of such a plan in
itself tends to restore ooofldauw, and
th* character of tbe men who ore back
the effort to restore the Central's final,
era to a sound condition is not without
it* effect Most of the security holders
will take President Corner's advice and
not attempt to force their securities
U|«,n tlie market when there is uo de-
niund for them, nud when they would
have to be sold at a sacrifice.
One point of interest in raunrrtion
with the r,-organisation is that the
Speyer loan is taken up by the blanket
nil rtgage along with the other Indeht-
ednera. thus relieving the Central of
the sword which hangs over it in the
shape, of this 111-adviard debt, which ac
cording to tbe contrnr* upon which it
was secured 1ms already fallen due, the
Central having defaulted upou some of
its obligations.
The 42,000 Share* in Cheek
Another interesting point is that if
the 42.000 shares held by the Trtnloal
E vple in New York go into the reorgau-
llon they will then be In a minority,
tee consohlidatrel stocks of the acrcrul
lines incorporated into the system hav

organisation they are bi surh a posi
tion. owing to the differences existing
among the Terminal people snd their
serious ftnarcinl cofulilkm, that they
will not he able to offer any aertous op
position.
•We will not have any trouble from
the 42,000 shares,'' sniil Mr. Comer
when puestioned upon this point
If th f'entral's mirranlzstion accom
plished nothing further than to relieve
the system of the apprehension caused
tor the holding of th* 1 42,000 shares in
New York, ami the fear of foreclosure
of the Speyer loan, it would hay accom

Mr. Bland, the Louse further insisted ou
disagreement to the aeuaUs tuueudmetU
to the diplomatic and consular appro
priation bill and another conference was
ordered.
Mr. Bland, from tho committee on
eulnuge, weights and measures, reported
tlie Stewart free silver bill, iiuced
upon the calendar.
Mr. Tracey asked leave thnt tlie mi
nority of the committee, be permitted to
have it* views printed, v and further
asked that the report of the ma
jority and the views of the minority be
printed together. To th«* latter recite
Mr. B'and objected, fearing that
might result in the delay of action on
thi* measure. It was his intention, ho
said, to take tho earliest opportunity to
havo the bill considered. He had no ob
jection to the minority giving it* views
at any time. Con*ent was therefore
given to the minority to file it* view*.
Mr. Herbert presented the conference
report on tlie naval appropriation bill.
There wa* a great deal of opposition
manifested to the item which propose*
to authorize the making of n contract
for a new battle ship, the opposition be
ing based on two ground*. First, thnt
It wn* not required; and second, if it
were required, the appropriation to
build it should be made outright. The
conference rejiort wa* rejected. Yea*,

further conference ami moved to in
struct tho house conferees to oppose the
senate amendment, appropriating
$50,000 for a naval display nnd au
thorizing the construction of the battle

The conference report wn* submitted
and agreed to upon the bill amending
The Faithful Shepherd jDog.
Dr. Dio Lewis won traveling in tho west
and had come to a ranch whereon woo i\
shepherd’s dog that tho owner would not
Cell for $500. She had at tbo Urn® four
young puppies.
While tlie v isitor wn* admiring the littla
mother and her babies tbe assistant berdex
reported twenty sheep missing. Two dogs,
each larger than tlie little mother, were
standing about, but tbe havder wold neither
Ton nor Dick wuntd find tho missing
sheep; Flora mu si go.
In vain did the assistant urge that her
feet were sore; she had been hard at work
all day nnd was nearly worn out and
must, in any case, attend to the wants of
her puppies. Tho master insisted. Th
sun was setting and there was no time t<i
lose.
Flora was called nnd told to hunt for the
lost sheep, her muster pointing to tho for
est on whose edge the shack was situated.
She raised her head, but seemed loath to
leave her babies. The master called sharp
ly to her. She rose, looked tired nnd
brokeu hearted, and with head and tail
down trotted wearily off toward tho forest.
“She'll be right b;ick. She’s lightning
on stray sheep." Next morning the doctor
rode over to learn whether Flora had found
the strays. As he alighted from the sad
dle tho dog returned, driving the sheep.
Flora did not raise her head or wag her
tall, even when spoken to, but crawled to
her puppies and lay down by them. Sho
hod kin out all night, and, scarcely nblo
to notice her babies, fell asleep.

The New Torpedo.
The Sim*-Edison torpedo consists essen
tially of two part*. Tho upper is merely n
float from which Ih suspend'd, nt tho
depth of alxmt six feet or less, tho torpodo
itself; this contains tho explosive, tho con
trolling cable, which pays out os tho tor
pedo proceeds, a forty horse power electric
motor working a thirty Inch screw, and a
polarized relay for working the steering
apparat us. The float and the torpedo aro
both composed of sheet copper, tho float
being filled with cotton to render it practi
cally unsinkable; one of tliese boats ha*
been under heavy fire without its buoy
ancy or efficiency being seriously affected.
On the deck arc two folding down stand
ards for steering purjiosAes, which aro so
arranged that, should the boat dive under
first occasion upon which Seuator Ilili
cast a free silver vote. The point of |
contention in the bill was gotton rid of
by making tbo conditions of payment, re
vert buck to the law under which the or-
tawtf issue of lionds wn* made.
The conference report was also sub-
ndtttd and agreed to on th postoffice up
propnateion bill nnd tho legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill.
The latter report noted a disagreement
and anothr conference on the bill wn*
ordered. The conference report on the
invoild pension appropriation bill wn*
prwented and agreed to and tlie house
adjourned.
The (Senate ft*Mton.
Tbo sundry civil appropriation bill oc
cupied almost exclusively the attention
of the senate today, but there were on
ly two point* In the bill over which there
wa* any di*cu**ion. The first wa* the
provision to pay to the widow* of Chief
Waite and of Justice* Miller
and Bradley of the supreme court one
year** salary of their husbands. 8enn-
tot» Berry and George fought against it,
but when It came to a vote there were
only eight senator* recorded in opposi
tion. Tlie other point which was dis
cussed up to the time of adjournment
and on which no '*onclusion was reached
wa* tho provision for the '•oinage of 10,-
000,000 souvenir half dollars in aid of
tlie Columbian Exposition QM<‘ngo
To that provision Mr. Quay offered ati
amendment requiring tho expositon to
bo dosed on Sunday. No action was
taken on either.
The conference report on the pension
appropriation bill wa* presented and
agreed to.
The lead re hill and the hill limiting to
$100 t!** amount of wearing apparel to
be admitted free of duty (which wa*
passed the house yesterday) were laid be
fore tbe senate gnd referred to the com
mittee on finance. The HU as to the for
feiture of raimad land* grants, also
passed by the bonne yesterday, wa re
ferred to the committee on public lands.
An amusing incident occurred when
Senator Quay presented his amendment
providing for the Sunday closing of the
Ghicago fair. He sent to the clerk's
desk and hail read what he called the rea
sons for the amendment, and was some,
what astonished, and all his colleague*
amused when the clerk read impressively
tlie commandment, “ Honor thy father
and thy mother that thy daya mar lie
long In the land which ths lewd giveth
thee." Senator Quay, in some confu
sion. supplied, and the 1 clerk read, the
commandment appropriate to the matter,
Uctnember the Sabbath day to keep It
holy."

Thu Hues of the flout are well designed
for high speed, biivlng n flue bow nnd cut-
wutcr and the stern well cut nwny aft.
The torpedo is suspended from thu float hy
menus of strong stc.1 stays. The forward
stay is well cut away to enable the boat to
dive under spara or wreckage that it may
encounter. This property of the boat has
been put to severe tests with eminently
satisfactory results. The torpedo consists
of four separate comportments wbiuli can
be taken asunder and reassembled in fif
teen minutes; thus rendering tbe torpedo
very rosy of transport in bolds of ship or
elsowliero.—Exchange.

Ilttlldlng a House tn New Guinea*
IV. li Pitcairn, in his “Two Years Among
tho Savages of New Guinea,” describes a
summer villa which he built niter tho na
tive pattern at a coat ot twenty or twenty-
five dollars, as follows:
I drew on the beach ft rough gronnd
plan oi the house, showing the length and
breadth, the division ot rooms and the two
Term ulna. Peter, one of the cblefa, meas
ured the plan with a piece of cane, mark
ing the length and breadth, and then roUed
up thecano and put it In his pocket, or
rather In his dllly bog, for of enurso na
tives are not provided with pockets.
Re went home to his ishtnd and in n few
days came back with several largo canoes
w 1th all the necessary logs, timber and otbc r
materials lashed to them, including tho
•ago palm leaves for the roofing and tho
cane for aplitting into laths, and when tho
house woe finished thero was very littla
material left. How hecalculated so nicely
I cannot say, but of course be hod hod con
siderable experience in building native
houses.
Not a nail was used In the building. On
the seaside the bouse stood in about four
feet of water at low tide, and on the shorn
side was conneetfd with tho beach by a
gangway. _________

I bare frequently bod tho opportunity of
dropping into company with our largest
species ot dragon tiy along a particular
roadside In autumn.
On foot one has scarcely any means of
judging of ita speed, for In a moment it
Is past you and oat of sight; but what is
the experience when you uni driving, say
at tbs rate of eight or ten miles an hour!
The rapid voyager shoots hy you almost
out of sight, theu turns, swerving widely
from right to left, anil passes you again in
both directions, traversing repeatedly tbo
ground over which yon aro traveling but
ice.
We are apt to exaggerate in these mat
ters, but with every allowance, haring
compared ths flight of the dragon fly with
tbat of a passing hawk, swallow ami cuc
koo, I have computed that it is capable of
flying at a apt rd ot 100 miles on hour.—

An Animal Hard to Shoot*
The general color of tbo Kamchatkan
bighorn is a brown gray, the head and neck
rather grayer than the reel of the body.
Both tall and ears are remarkably short.
The coat on those that we shot was very
long and thick, almost like that of a rein
deer, but autumn was well advanced, and
1 have no doubt that in summer it is much
thinner. H wo* curious that we should
not only never have shot, but never even
have M-n the females. All these that fell
to our rifles were rams, as far as we could
judge, from 3 to 6 years old. ' Whether
the females always herd together or only
at certain seaj’ous It is difficult to aay, and
we were unable to get any Information
from the natives upon this point—Black
wood’s Magazine.
