Tho general, council of the Potta u atomic Indians met on the IMith, The business transacted was principally relating to schools and leasing lauds.

A gaping rent nearly forty feet wide from top to bottom of a five story business block; a dozen dead bcdlos recovered; a score of persons Injured und more than Hint number missing, with a certainty that many more deod bodies aro beneath the ruins, such are the results of nn explosion which startled tho city yes terday and totally wrecked nbout n third of the building at the corner of Lamed and Shelby streets occupied by tho Detroit Kvening Journal nnd sov eral other tenants. At II o'clock the whole neighborhood was terrilled by a fearful shock, caused by tho explosion of the boilers In the basement of tho Journal building. Plate glass windows across the street and some of those farther uway were shattered by the concussion and sev eral persons were cut by fulling glass. At tho snmu Instant tho five floors and roof of that section of tho building collapsed nnd fell to the basement, carrying with It at least fifty persons, who had not the slightest warning of their danger. The cloud of dust which blinded the eyes of the itiuued spec tators of thu horror was quickly suc ceeded by smoke from the llres which started in the ruins. The work of rescue was rushed to tho utmost ull day and night, but progress has necessarily been very slow. Tho debris and brick are dumped into an almost solid muss, upon which quantities of water has been poured and into which comparatively little headway has been made. Carelessness Is undoubtedly the catiso of the disaster, but where tho rcspouslbllitv rests Is as yet prob lematical. Thomas Thomuson, the engineer, wns painfully injured.
