A WOMIF.BU'I. KHCATE.
The friends of Mr. FriU Zumatin, of
Springliclil, Mass., reporter) lost in Ibe
terrible Kremcrhaven explosion, liave
just received letters anuotincing hi
mirraculons escape, and giving a
graphic description of the disaster ns
he saw it, as fallows:
A box of dynamnnite exploded.
The box was on a wagon, and wag to
be shipped with our steamer. Such a
power had the explosion that evrcy
body, say evreybody in the cities of
Bremerhaven and Geestniude, were
thrown down. Windows were broken
at a distance of threo miles and even
farther. Nearly evreybody on .board
or near the steamer had his ears burst
through the terrible din ; but my
brother and I have uot a finger hurt.
When the explosion took pluce I was
down in the gangway of the steamer,
and all at once I felt as though two
canuou-DBiis were uonng mio luy
ears, and then glass pieces, broken
plates (I stood near the kitchen),
door, beams and boards, all flew
around me, but nothing hurt mo.
When in this terrible fright I looked
for an escape, I found every way, on
both sides of the gangway blocked up
by the ruins. Locked up in the stea
mer! And I thought every second she
would siuk, becauso it was my oppin
lon that the boiler had exploded. It
took rue two or three minutes to make
a way, and then, groping my way
over corpses, buddies without heads,
some without arms or legs, over heads
without bodies, (Tver lakes of blood, I
found my uncle and aunt, both, I
might say, naked, lying down and em
bracing each other, groaning and al
most in the face of death. In the same
moment my brother fell into mv arms,
ound and safe I And the other two
are to be saved, too.
la Washington, Ohio, they tell a
story about Ralph Johnson, who be
came alarmed when the ladies came and
prayed in his saloon. Next day he came
to them almost broken hearted, and
aid if he could only get rid of five
barrels of whisky which he had then
on hand, he would join the temper
ance cause nimseit.
"We will bur your poisonous whis
ky, and pay you far it," said the la
dies. "All right," said Ralph, and he
ook 3UU and rolled the whisky out.
The ladies emptied the whiskv into
the street. Ralph joined the cause for
cne day and then went to Lvnchburc.
where they have 11,000 barrels of
proor whisky in store, and bought a
new loi.
"What do tou mean bv rlninrr this
Mr. Johnson?" asked a deacon of the
Church.
"Well," replied Ralph, ' ray custom
ers war kinder pertie'lar like, and that
tharold whisky was so dog on weak that
I could not sell it to 'em no how: but
it didn't hurt the ladies, for it was just
as gooa as tne best proof whisky to
wasn uown tne gutters with."
"Open that safe," said a merchant
to an expert who had been sent for,
"Open it in twenty minutes and I will
give you ?(J. lhe safe was open in
pve minutes. "All right," aij the
merchant, "hero is $10 enough for
five minutes' work." The 810 was
looked at but not taken, and in the
next moment the safe was closed as
tight as ever. "O, how is that?" "The
bow, said the man. "is that I charge
nothing for closing the safe but 20
more for the next opening- $40 in all.
&m want iny pay in advance." Of
: course he aid, and whoever has .any
thing to say on the subject can now
