BLO WN ALL TO PIECES.
Birmingham, Ala., January 18.—
Near Ox moor, seventeen miles south
of Birmingham, a terrible explosion
occurred yesterday morning which
cost two men their lives,
An engine of the DeBardeleben
Coal and Iron company, leased by
McNamara Brothers, when running
between Eureka mines and Oxmoor,
ran out of water, and the engineer
made an effort to reach the tank half
a mile away as soon as possible.
When at full speed the boiler ex¬
ploded with a tremendous noise,
wrecking the locomotive, and blow¬
ing engineer Joseph Hunt and Fire¬
man Bradford into a thousand pieces.
The track was torn up and a great
hole dug in the ground. The Jiead
of the dead engineer was found a
quarter of a mile away.
The people in that vicinity thought
an earthquake had occurred, Both
men leave families.
EXPLOSION FROM NAT¬
URAL GAS.
Lancaster, Ohio, January 18.—At
6:30 this morning occrred the most
disastrous explosion of natural gas in
the history of natural gas here.
The residence of Judge John S.
Brazee, a two-story brick, was level¬
ed to the ground.
Mrs. Brazee and her four grown
children and servants were in bed at
the time, Judge Brazee being the
only one of the occupants stirring.
He was blown thirty feet across
the street, where he was found un¬
conscious and bleeding from several
wounds about the head.
It seems almost a miracle that
none of the sleeping occupants of the
house were seriously injured, The
walls fell outward and this probably
saved their lives.
The windows were broken for sev ¬
eral squars around, and an organ in an
adjoining church was ruined.
The shock was felt for miles a
round. A leak in the pipe, it is sup¬
posed, filled the cellar and library
with gas, which was ignited from the
grate.
The house and its contents were
utterly ruined.
THE LION AND THE
BRIDE.
Silver City, N. M., January 18.—
Jauu Lopez, a Mexican, has had a pet
lion for four years. The animal was
very fond of him. A few days ago
L >pez brought a beautiful seuorita
home as his bride.
The liou became jealous of the love
bestowed <>n t lie girl by his master.
The second night after marriage Lo¬
pez went out on business and return¬
ed to find that his young wife had
been torn to pieces by the savage
brute.
The lion had jumped upon he 1 ’
neck and broken it, a part of her
breast bad been torn away and eaten
and the face disfigured. The animal
fled to the mountains, but was soon
followed by hundreds of Lopez's
neighbors.
The young husband’s grief was so
great that he became insane and is
now confined to prevent him from
suiciding.
At Vienna, Bill Jones (colored)
had his hand cut off just for
fun on Wednesday last. He
works for John Collier at his
saw-mill, a few miles west of
Vienna. Bill was showing the
other negroes, on Tuesday, how
close lie could put his "hand to
where the saw would cut.
through on a log. He reached
over a little too far and the saw
tore all the flesh from his fing¬
ers near , where they join the
palm of his hand. Drs. Watts
of Drayton and Whipple ampu¬
tated his hand.
Better Men W in.led.
An old woman I once knew in the
Tennessee mountains expressed a great
economic truth in these words, “Poor
folks has poor ways.” Too often it is
the poorness of their own ways, not the
aggression of wealthy neighbors, which
has plunged these folks into poverty.
If a man spend a day in the harvest
time in efforts to send a fool to the legis¬
lature, or a knave to congress, should,
he complain if the laws the fools and
knaves make add to his own taxes? Who
but he is to blame, if the laws ostensi¬
bly made in his interest simply shift the
burden from one of his shoulders to the
other?
If he stand all day in the public square
Bpellbound by a tramp with an accor¬
dion, or still worse, if he lounge about
on the sawdust floor of a saloon, talking
the vile stuff we agree to call “politics,”
never reading a book, never thinking a
thought above the level of the sawdust
floor, need he be surprised if his opinions
do not meet with respect?
The farmer needs men whose time is
money, and whose labor is worth the
labor of other men—men who know how
to do the best things in the best way,
and can thereby do their part in alle¬
viating industrial depression.—President
D. S. Jordan in Forum,
How Does It Look Now?
Will this pass for good Democratic
doctrine? It is a plank in the national
Democratic platform of 1856, We do¬
llar e:
“That congress has no power to char¬
ter national banks, that we believe such
institutions of deadly hostility to the
best interests of the country, dangerous
to onr republican institutions and the
liberties of the people, and calculated to
place the business of the country within
the control of concentrated money power
and above the laws and will of the peo¬
ple; that the separation of the money of
the government from banking institu¬
tions is indispensable for the safety of
the funds and rights of the people.” Alliance
This is exactly the view the
men of the present day. We make opine such if a
Democrat (?) of today should

The People’s Party to Rates.
Sulphur Springs, Tex., July T!0.
Senator Peffer was orator at the farm¬
er’s encampment here. More than 4,000
people were present. Peffer wanted
the government to loan people money at
1 per cent, to lift $9,000,000 mortgages,
and to pull the teeth and close the
month of the red dragon in Wall street.
He proposed to do this with the fiat
money issued directly to the people
who had mortgaged their homes. His
speech lasted two hours, and he closed
by saying the People’s party would
finally elect the president, congress and
senate, and if the supreme court was
not with them they would make an¬
other.
