Frpl. 5.—Luey Rhett Hor- ton, a young wonmn with a history, was Friday sent to the governnmnt. insane asylum. She had been very pretty and is fairly good looking. Ilr-r troubles and MY mental condition have, however, told spon her, and she is not. now the. beauti- ful creature that she was smli‘} cignt years ago, when she was put on trial here for shooting young Mor;:.n, the son of the senator from Alabama. She met young Morgan in Mobile, where the two were living. They were much to- gether, and, as she claims, the. young man accomplished her ruin. Young Morgan’s father procured his son a situation in one of the departments here. The woman fol- lowed him. She demanded her , as she had demanded in Alabama, that he make good the promise of marriage to which he had bound himself, but he refused. She followed the young man 011 the streets and threatened to shoot him. She carried the threat into effect one day and put two bullets into him as he was going along near the city hall. The shootmg and the subsequent trial caused agreat sensation in \Vashiugton society. She was acquitted on the ground of insanity. After spending two years in the asylum she was pronounced cured. She obtained upon her release, through the influence of Senator Morgan, :1. position in the dead letter office. There, sad eyed and very quiet, she worked faithfully until a few weeks ago. She was one of the best clerks in the ofiice. Her story was known to the other clerks, most of whom are of her own sex, and. she received the sympathy of all. Recently she has shown unmistakable signs of a re- currence of her malady. She was under the delusion that some one was going to insult her, and carried a pistol to protect herself. As her tendency threatens to be come homicidal, she goes back to the asylum. Young Morgan did not die of the wounds. About three years ago he was one evening in a boat on the Potomac, a short distance above the city, with a wom- an. The boat upset and both were drowned. Drowned While Bathing. PLYMOUTH, N. H., Sept. 5.—A letter from Rochester, N. H., identified some clothing found on the bank of the Pemigewasset river last week as that of John McQue, who worked in the foundry at Rochester, and who left there temporarily two weeks ago to attend the Methodist camp meeting at Weirs. McQue’s parents reside in J er- sey City. He was of exemplary character and was no doubt drowned while bathing. A. Negro lIIurdcrcr Hanged.

TONS or DYNAMITE GO OH. The Three Story Brick Factory Where- the Powder—A Church Steeple Thrown Calamity Occurred Ground to Down and Citizens Terror-Izod. WHITE PIGEON, Mich, Sept. 5.—.-\ fright- ful explosion, the worst ever experienced in this locality, occurred near here Friday with the result that a number of human beings were literally wiped out of exist- ence and the surrounding countryreceived a terrifying shock from the concussion that also caused considerable damage. . A Roar as of Thunder. The dynamite factory of F. A. Reynolds & Co. is situated a short distance outside 01 ' this city. The building was a three story one and was substantially constructed of brick. It is estimated at the very lowest that twenty tons of. the terrible explosive was stored in the structure. Suddenly, without an instant’s warn- ing, there came a sharp crack, a blinding flash of flame, then a. roar as of thunder, and the air was filled with flying timber, bricks and mortar, and when the dust and smoke cleared away scarcely r. vestige of the building could be seen ._ on the site where it stood. Great gaping holes were torn in the ground and bricks and stones had been pulverized. Sixteen Blown to Atoms. Sixteen unfortunate workmen, mostly Swedes and Norwegians, Wore in the build- ing when the awful crash came, and they were completely annihilated from off the face of the earth. Search was immediate- ly commenced for their bodies or the rem- nants of them, but not an atom of any 01 them could be found. Who they are is not at present known, and will not be un- til some of the workmen who were away at the time can be reached. They will probably know their names; if not, they will never be known for the company’s books were completely destroyed. None of the proprietors was in the build- ing when the explosion occurred. It may be that others have been killed, for certain it is that any one passing in the vicinity at the time would have been hurled intc eternity. The Steeple Fell. The concussion in this city was simply awful; the badly frightened citizens flocked into the streets, and for a time terror reigned supreme. All over the town dam- age was done, and many of the houses, rocked to and fro. The chimneys of many buildings fell, and innumerable walls were cracked and damaged. In the vicinity of the German Lutherar church many people had a narrow escape from death. At the first crash of the ex plosion the tall spire of the edifice was seen to sway once or twice and then with a loud crash it fell to the ground, scatter- ing the people in terror in all directions. Fortunately no one was injured. The loss to the dynamite company will be about $35,000. What the damage done in this city will amount to is not known as yet. They Fought in the Revolution. DRUMMONVILLE, Ont, Sept. . —- The skeletons of fifteen British soldiers be- longing to the Sixty-ninth and One Hun- dred and Third regiments, who fell in the battle of Lundy’s Lane, were discovered by excavators yesterday in a sandpit out side of the cemetery. Some of the red coats found with the remains were in per- fect condition. Among the relics discov- ered were buttons, tobacco pouches, jack- knives, buckskin vests and ofiicers’ braid The skeletons have been buried in s trench within the cemetery. An English Embczzlor Caught. NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Sydne_v Old, alias Samuel Owens, formerly secretary It Fisher, Renwick & Co., of the Dry Dock and Jetty company, of Newcastle on-Tyne, was arrested at. Detroit on a charge 01 embezzling.£5,000 from his employers. He will be brought to this city and held tc await the arrival of extradition papers Old arrived here July 6 and went west twc days later. « Wants to Electrocutc Them. ALBANY, Sept. 5.——Attorncy Genera Tabor said that he would apply to th( United States court on Oct. 4 foradis- missal of the stay of proceedings and the appeals in the cases of Trezza and McEl- vaine, the convicted murderers in Sing Sing. He is sanguine that the court will immediately grant his application and the men will then be resentenced. A Great Tobacco Crop. LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 5.—-—The tobaccc crop of Lancaster count-y, which is nearly all harvested, is the largest ever grown the average reaching 18,500 acres and thl yield fully 50,000 cases. The damage by hail and rust is about 5 per cent. of the whole crop, the quality of the remaindel being very fine. BRIEF MENTION. Patrick James Foley, an Irish membei of parliament, who was always believed to be a bachelor, was found to have a wife in the insane ward of the Lancaster poor. house, where she has been an inmate £01 ten years. Secretary of the Treasury Foster has gone on a two weeks’ vacation. He said that after the redemption of the 4% pe1 cent. bonds the money market would be eased by placing $25,000,000 more in circu‘ lation. The new armor piercing shells were ' tested at Sandy Hook. One shot was fired from the 12-inch mortar, and the projectile knocked out a corner of the 4%-inch steel plate instead of piercin it, as it should. This is accounted for b he fact that the gun was sighted for that portion of the plate, so as to save it for further shots. The shell weighed 630 pounds. The test was agreat success. It would have been asorry day for any one of the big war- ships had the shell struck it instead of the target. Judge Ewing, in Pittsburg, decided that the directors of the defunct Penn bank, 01 that place, which failed in 1884, were not responsible for losses sustained by the de- positors, whose claims amount to over $2,000,000. The directors were, however, ordered to pay the costs of the suit. Twenty-five cases have already been completed at New Orleans against the president of the Louisiana Lottery com- pany, and Postofiice Inspector Maynard, who has collected the evidence for them, says he believes that the backbone of the lottery scheme is broken.
