WOUNDED,
CINCINNATI, July 15.—A terrible
explosion occurred late this afternoon
at King's Powder Mills, on the Little
Miami Railroad, 29 miles east of this
city. Six persons were killed and a
dozen or more seriously injured, Two
empty freight cars were being rolled
onto a side track where a car containing
500 kegs of gunpower was standing, As
the car struck there was a terrific explo-
sion, and immediately afterward another
car, containing 800 kegs of gun powder,
exploded, making 1300 kegs aitogether.
Wm. Frauly, a brakeman in the ser-
vice of the Little Miami, was standing
on one of the empty cars when the ex-
plosion occurred, His body must have
been blown to atoms, although no trace
of iL has yet been found. Five other
persons, supposed to be employes of the
powder company, were Killed,

south side, and the destruction was
enormous, There ure a number of cot-

house belonging to the Little Miami
Railroad, together with all the adja-

ened, smouldering ruins remains to

have been at work in the factory at the

great number of these are thought to

been killed and 30 or 40 of the mill
employes wounded, A great crowd of
400 or 500 people bas gathered at the

Chase the Police had for him
After his Escape.
An interesting sccount is given by
the Johannesburg Star, of South Alrics,
of the police chase after Me Keon, the
bank robber, whose achievements in
the matter of perpetrating robberies,
jail and eluding the
police entitle him to rank with the no
torious Jack Sheppard, and whose re-
gard for his clever black horse reminds
one of Dick Turpin. In the hurried
start after Me Keon when he escaped
from the Pretoria jail, says the news-
paper in question, the mounted police
forgot to take handcuffs with them.
Further, McKean had friendsall along
the route. He was born in Basutoland,
and every Basuto is his fast friend,
even to Mama. Consequently when the
police inquired along the road of Basu-
tos if they had seen two men pass on
horseback they invariably said they they
had not. MoKeon's love for his famous
black horse, now at the mounted police
barracks, was extraordinary. The
police had to have three remounts be-
fore they could run that horse down.
Two of the mounted police sighted
Mo Keon and Cooper far ahead of them.
‘They spurred on after them, thinking
that they would bring the fugutives to
halt on the steep bank of the Rhenoster
