Two persons were killed and at •least 76 others injured. One oi those killed was J. Roderick Roberts of Nel son, B. C., who was ih a room in the Murray Hid hotel when the explosion occurred. The other person killed was a workman in the tunnel whose name is believed to bo carroli. The shock of the explosion wns fell in all the large buildings in the neigh borhood.

Beautiul Church Scene in the Old Homestead. One of the prettiest scenes in "The Old Homestead” and the one whicn caused the reatest comment on its production, is the beautiful picture of Grace Church, N. Y., by monlight. When the scene was first talked of be fore its production, one feature, which was overlooked by all concern ed, save Mr. Thompson himself, was to secure a real church organ. When the expense was considered it was voted almost an imposibility but Mr. Thompson had faith in his play, and at'tr weeks of consultation wuu the best organ makers in the country the result was a niaguiflcent piece of musical mechanism set up on the stage of tile Boston Theatre. When “The Old Homestead” was Y., for what proved to be the largest i., tor what proved to be the larsest and most successful run that any American drama has enjoyed in our history, the organ in Boston was taken, apart and shipped there, but oil being put together again, something was wrong; it would uot worn to the sat iaiaction of Mr. Thompson, who is a master on detail, and another expen sive organ was set up in tils Academy and there it now stands, a monument to Mr. Thompson's expensive tastes. Since "The Old Homesetead” was lirst produced - iv organs have been built for Mr. Thompson, but only one is of any use as the others will not stand transportation. Mr. Thompson has had built for him a massive special improved organ, which is guaranteed to withstand all kinds of travel, of pure, sonorous and orchestral tone, and theatre-goers ol uiis city will have an opportunity to to hear it. Mr. Thompson’s desire to have a lirst-elass orga-i in his production hat cost him in the neighborhood on $25,- 000. But he will have it. The company and production which Mr. Thompson carries this season is said to be exceptional for a road tour. * MR, PiDCOCK’S WILL The Wife of Only a Few Days Gets Only SI,OOO.

She married him against the protests of her father and the rest of the family, when he was about to submit to a serious operation. She nursed him all through his illness untitl his death.

Some big developments in Bruns wick *4 Birnfingliam railroad matters may be looked for within the next few days. Vice-President C. J. Bush nell and party from New York arriv ed here yesterday on a hurried tour of inspection and left last night to re port flieir findings. The News under stands from reliable sources that the report will be extremely satisfactory Vice-President Bushnell found more here than he or his party expected. Last night he said but little as to fu ture plans, being extremely guarded, but said: "1 was prepared to like Brunswick and its people, but my personal ob servations of tho place and associa tions with tlie people have for exceed ed anything that, I could have pictured. “You can say tins much, that be yond any question the B. & B. will bo pushed on to Birmingham a good deal faster than they expect, after wo uii.oi, mia.ii£,infc tin, u.?innnais here. Experienced people know tho expense and trouble of getting terminal fa cilities after a road is built, ami our people have judgment enough not to push their road into the interior until after the foundation is fixed, t ossi bly we public may come to realize auer a while that a little road does not v to work and prepare its terni nals enough for a transcontinental line. However, tlie business world knows that a large amount of money spent in getting the narbor end right does not mean simply a iittle local affair. In a short time the full plans may bo divulged by others but I do not care to anticipate tnat.” From other sources the News learns that tlie charter party has been signed for a vessel loan of steel rails to come in a few nays. Chief Engineer Rob erts and corps have just returned! from a satisfactory prospecting tour through Georgia and Alabama, and President Machen is expected here the first week in February, when some of the biggest news yet given out in connection with the B. & B. will be made public. Every indication points to a successful deal uaving been made with tne St. Louis and Kansas City people to carry tho line on across tlie continent from Birmingham, and at no very distant date several thousand men will he placed at work on the construction of the road across Geor gia to Alabama’s great, iron center. DOING A BIG BUSINESS. B. & B. Handling Many Passengers and Much Freight. Both the pasenger and freight busi ness of tne Brunswick & Birming ham railroad is increasing at a rapid ra.' 1 , and ofneere of the new road are very much gratified at the great suc cess.

Dev ereaux, collector of the port of Savan nah, will be his own successor. This is generally conceded here. COUNTY TREASURER LEE MAKES QUARTERLY STATEMENT OF FINANCES PICTURE OF COL. MACHEN. And a Nice Write-up in a New York Paper. The Shareholder, a leading finaneia paper of New York, prints a two col umn cut of Col. E. C. Machen and the following notice: Several weeks ago the New Yora Sun had quite a readable paragraph pen-picturing a Southern Railroad president sitting on J. P. Morgan’s railing watching the blocks of marble go in to the front of the Stock Ex change building. As the article stated the marble came from Georgia and tha tnat it was hauled over a railroad where the bridge piers were built of marble and the roadbed iiuewiso bal lasted with marble, the article was considered by many largely imagina tive. However, this is a time when it can be said truthfully "If you see it in the Sun it is so.” Though the Shareholder was not able to secure from nim a picture, we did, through the kinuness of one ot our exchanges, dig up one, and Colo nel Machen, president ot the Bruns wick and Birmingham railroad, may have his native modesty somewhat shaken up to find himself pictorially introduced to our readers through these columns. As the Stock Excnange building rises its beauty is unfolded, and the Colonel can well feel a pardonable pride that the material comes from his home state of Georgia and over a line that was built by him and play fully alluded to a dozen years ago as "Machen’s Folly.” It will be a great surprise to learn that the Stock Exchange is built o Georgia marble, out neither geograph ical nor sectional linos cut any figure with Wall street when they are seek ing the best of anything. In this case the best material was sougi.i,, with the result tnat Georgia carried off tho reward, and the en terprising Georgia colonel can well afford to chuckle with glee as he play fully tells his Stock Exchange friends they will soon be making their bread and butter from the inside of his fnon ument. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Oren Henderson Had Misfortune to Break His Arm. On Sunday afternoon Oren Hender son, the twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Henderson, was the victim of a painful accident.

The bone was set immediately under good medical skill and is doing nicely, but the arm is very stiff and sore. Oren is a bright little boy and his many friends who regret his misfortune and wish him a speedy recovery. WOUNDED WOMAN BETTER. Lula Culbert V/as a Great Deal Better Yesterday.
