Thirteen Hundred Kegs Set Off at Once. Ten Persons Killed and a Score or More Injured. Large Cartridge JFactory Burned to the Ground and Powder Works and Residences Shattered. Associated Press Dispatches I Cincinnati, July 15. —A terrible ex plosion occurred late this afternoon at M. King's powder mills, on the Little Miami railroad, twenty-nine miles east of this city. Ten persons are known to have been killed and twenty or forty more or less severely injured. Two empty freight care were being rolled into a side track, where a car containing 500 kegs of powder was standing. As the cars struck there was an explosion, and immediately after another car, con taining 800 kegs of powder, exploded, making 1,300 kegs altogether. William Frauly, a brakeman, was standing on one of the empty cars when the explo sion occurred. No trace of hig body has been found. Five other persons, sup posed to be employees of the powder company, were killed. The King's Powder Company and Peters' cartridge works have buildings on both sides of the river along the railroad. The explo sion occurred on the south side, and the destruction was enormous. There are a number of cottages occupied by workmen in the powder works situated close to the track; these were shattered by the explosion, and their inmates injured. Twelve or fifteen girls at work in the cartridge factory were crippled by the explosion. A railway freight house belonging to the Little Miami railroad, together with all tlie adjacent buildings, was set on fire and totally consumed. The tracks and ties of the railroad were torn up, and a great hole ploughed in the ground. The Pe terß cartridw iactory was burned to the ground, attW nothing but a mass of blackened, sii>oldering ruins remains to mark the spot where the building stood. As soon as the news reached this city a relief train was dispatched to the scene Of the disaster, with Superintendent Pe ters and a large party of surgeons On board, and relief was afforded the suffer ers as soon as possible. The work of searching for the missing and caring for the wounded is progressing. Terrible Destruction. The force of the explosion demolished all the wires in the vicinity, and it was impossible to get any news from there until midnight, when a delayed Pan Handle train arrived. Even then the passengers could not say much, as every thing about King's mills was in too de moralized a condition when they left to learn much about the actual state of af fairs. They describe the scene in the vicinity of the explosion as awful. Fences, trees and buildings for hundreds of feet in all directions from the explo sion were wrecked. The Peters cartridge factory was literally demolished by the explosion, and fire from its combustible contents completed the work of destruc tipn. About thirty girls are thought to have been at work in the factory at the time of the explosion, and most of them are thought to be badly hurt. The pas sengers who arrived on the train say ten persons were killed, and that it is possi ble more bodies are in the debris. The Flames Still Raging. 1 a. m. —A messenger of Adams's Ex press Company, just arrived from the scene, says when he passed King's Mill station, at 11 p. m., it was bright as day all around. Everything combustible was burning, and the people everywhere for a great distance around were fighting the fire. The roadmaster of the Little Miami road had information that there were three families living in the little cottages near the place of the explosion, and that six hours' diligent search had failed to find any trace of them. He said, furthermore, all was confusion there, and such a thing as ascertaining the names of the victim swas next to an impossibility. An incident related by him was that eight or ten girls in the cartridge factory saved themselves from the flames by catching hold of a rope that happened to hang from the house to the ground, and sliding down. His story is that more than ten were killed. AN EXPENSIVE FIRE. A Soven-Story Warehouse Burned at Minneapolis.

The fire is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. Two men, W. W. Morse, one of the pro prietors, and his engineer, were rescued by means of ladders from the fourth floor. They were almost blinded and suffocated by the dense smoke. A three story stone building on the north side of the warehouse, occupied as a dwelling house by a number of Jewish families, was crushed flat by the falling walls. No one was injured.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 16, 1890. LAKE PEPIN'S DEAD. Dynamite Used to liaise the Bodies. Only One More Victim's Re mains Recovered. Sensational Stories Circulated About the Disaster. The Captain and Crew Charged With Be ing Drunk—Captain Wetheron Placed Under Arrest. Associated Press Dispatches. I Lake City, July 15.—The lake shore was made to reverberate this morning with the thunder of dynamite, which was brought into requisition in the hope that it would be of help in bringing some of the as yet unrecovered bodies to ihe surface. The country people, who drove in from all directions yesterday, were again on hand, and the residents were also there at an early hour watch ing the workers. A military guard was kept up all night at the beach, and they kept back the spectators today as they had done yesterday. The smiling sky in no way reminded one of the great horror that had come upon this whole section of the state. No more bodies were recovered today, and it is probable that no more will be found for two or three days, and the hope at Lake City is that not over a dozen more are in the lake, but at Bed Wing the number is placed at two or three times that amount. Charges Against the Captain. Captain Wetheren, who has not been seen here since yesterday noon, told a citizen of Red Wing that the number on board at the time of the disaster would not exceed 170. The Red Wing man denied the captain's figures as being over thirty below the truth, and accused both the captain and crew of being drunk and unfit to have charge of the boat at such a time. There is no proof of such a state of affairs. Ihere were those on the barge among the passengers who had been drinking, and whose actions drove the women and children to the cabin. This fact may he the ground for the rumor. The Cabin Door Locked. Another rumor that caused great in dignation accused the captain of ordering the cabin door locked and keeping the people inside. Miss Aggie Barton, of Lake City, one of those rescued from the barge, says all the women and children were ordered into the cabin from the barge. It would be natural for a captain to do this as it was intensely dark, and the rain and hail made it disagreeable to remain on the barge. On the other hand, the engineer says the captain thought the barge safer that the steamer, and sent an order down to the cabin for the women and children to go on the barge. Instead of carrying the order correctly, the man told them to stay in the cabin and lock the door, which they did. Previous to that most of the wo men left the barge for the steamer, tell ing the engineer that a party of men on the barge were drunk, and had been act ing in an objectionable manner, and they would not stay there. Whether these be the facts or not, it is certain the doors were shut, if not locked, when the rescuers reached the steamer, and every thing indicated that they had been closed throughout the gale. The Captain Was Not Drunk. Judge Bayrell, of Argyle, who was on the boat, gives positive evidence against the charge of drunkenness. He says the captain was not only Sober, but fully conscious of the presence of the storm, although not fully appreciating its grav ity. The captain walked through the cabin quietly, trying to calm the excited passengers, telling them he did not think there was any danger, but if any wished they could put on life-preservers and prepare for the worst possibility. A few minutes later he once more made the same suggestion. The charge against the crew probably originated in the be havior of some of the drunken male pas sengers on the barge. Seeing the severity of the storm, the captain wished those who were on the barge at the mercy of the wind and rain and hail, to seek refuge in the cabin, but later he considered the barge the safer place, and ordered the women r.;id children to remove there. His order was miscarried, or at least such seems to have been the case. AH Slight Have Escaped. Lawyer Greer, of Lake City, believes that if the people had known that part of the lake, many could have escaped, and cites the experience of Harry Ma bey. Young Mabey was on board the Sea Wing, and when she drifted around below the point she grounded for a short time on the bar. Knowing the water there was shallow, he jumped overboard and reached the land easily. From that part of the bar the steamer drifted along the shore, keeping about forty or fifty yards out. All along there the bottom slopes very gradually down, so nearly all could have reached the shore, had they known this fact. The Inquest Held. This evening the coroner's jury assem bled and were about to begin the in quest, when County Attorney Wilson said the statutes provide that the coroner shall hold an inquest only where there are marks of violence on the body. As there were none such in the present case, no inquest could be held. He said further he believed, taking into consideration the frame of mind tho community is in, it is advisa ble not to hold an inquest now, even if it could be held. He assured the jury men as citizens that the matter would be laid before the grand jury at once, and a rigid investigation be had. The jury acted on his opinion and the cor oner dismissed them. This evening one more body was found, that of Ritta Vieths, aged 13. Wetheren Under Arrest- Captain Wetheren, of the ill-fated craft, went across the river to his home at Diamond Bluff, Wis., this afternoon, and it is reported tonight that he has been placed under arrest there at the solicitation of his friends, who feared possible violence. SCENES AT THE MORGUE. A Day of Funerals and Mourning at the City of Red Wing. Red Wino, Mian., July 15.—The sixty-six bodies brought here yesterday were laid out in an empty store-room, and to this place of death came the mourning friends to claim their dead, or look in vain for the absent. All day long, long pine boxes, that sug gested heartaches and heart-break ing, were being carried* from this store-room to the stricken.homes of the city, but one or two survivors of the family awaited the coming of the mor tal clay of their loved ones. This was a day of funerals, nearly all of the bodies yet recovered being carried to God's acre, where the last words of farewell and consolation were spoken, and the falling earth as it struck the coffin lid, beat also upon the hearts of the mourn ers, and the agoily of their grief again came over them. Yachtsmen Drowned. Portsmouth, N. H., July 15.—The yacht Marion of the Bay View club, South Boston, having on board Captain Vernon Locke, C. W. Kimball, E. Gold smith and Benjamin Cobb, was wrecked last night en a reef off Rye beach. All got into the small tender; this capsized and they clung to its keel.

Bcrlington, la., July 15.—A collision between a Burlington express and a freight occurred across the river from here at 1 o'clock. It is not thought that anyone was hurt.

From planting of March 7 on the Bailey place, about two miles southeast of town: Total solids 16.50 Cane sugar 13.50 Purity 81.40 From planting date not given, but not later than March, and probably in Feb ruary, about two miles due east of town: Total Bolids 19.60 Cane sugar 15.50 Purity 80 Ten days later the same planting will give better results, for there were no clear evidences that any of those ana lyzed were fully matured. The tests made on July 4 have conclusively shown that a factory can be supplied with a high grade of Chino-grown beets nine months in a year. Beets from plantings of April 1, 1889, were analyzed on May 13,1890, and gave: Total solids 19 Cane sugar 10. lO Purity 84.70 And plantings early in June analyzed at tbe same time gave: Total solids 1».66> Cane sugar 14.8© Purity 90 The plantings of this year from which the analyses of the 4th inst. were made, were all on the dry land. Plantings on the damp land are coming on finely-— some nearly mature and some only peer ing through the ground, and seed may be safely planted as late as August Ist in this naturally moist soil. The experience of last year proved that a high grade of beets grew on both classes of land, and that even though the rains of winter should be unusual in amount the beets on the damp, black land win hold up high in sugar and purity.— [Chino Champion.

They give the men something to chuckle at and the women something to complain against, so both are perfectly satisfied.
