tered his bant and abstracted 700
wr 'H of chop io sacks. Now, Mr.
Tooey has ever been noted for bis
kindliness of beat t, and really don't
lay up much grudge at the fellow who
stole his chop, but as be is held for the
sacks aod must pay for them if not

Mr. T. will make no further kick.

Of all tbe great newspapers nf the
country none rank higher in the esti
mation of tbe reading public than
that prince of journals, The Pitttburg
Dispatch. During the piestnt year
the Diepateh will occupy its tlegaut
new granite fire proof building, corner
of Diamond and Smitbfield Sts., where
the fittest and fastest printing machin
ery will be employed to turn nut the
great daily editions. Tbe Daily Di
patch bas reached the wonderful circu
lation of over 30,000 copies, while tbe
mammoth Sunday edition ha eclipsed
all competitors, end now turns out
over 60,000 copies of tweoty pages and
upward, making almost a volume in
itself. In its financial, commercial,
produce, live stuck and iron markets,
tbe paper far surpasses all others, aod
as to its oil news it is ranked at the
head. It has perhaps tbe best facili
ties for news-getting of any journal in
Western Pennsylvania, carrying a
daily special cable report, and con
trolling leased wires connecting its
rooms with all the leading cities of the
country. The Dispatch will continue,
as ever, a thoroughly iudependeut
Republican journal, and will handle
eveuts with regard to absolute truth
and public iuterest as a first and only
consideration. In this section it has
not only been in great favor with the
reading public, but grows with age in
the estimation of people, who love it
fur the enterprise and backbone it
displays on every one of its sparkling
pages.
Blown to Atoms.
From Oil Citv comes the news of
auolher terrible nitro glycerine explo
sion, which took place shortly before
noon of last Friday, the scene being
at the magazine of the High Explosive
Co, ou Two Mile Run, about four
miles from the city- Tbe unfortunate
victim this time was Eugene Rew, who
bad followed the hazardous business of
well shooting fur fifteen years, aod
was one of the most careful and trust
wnrr'iy men io the company's employ.
Of urse tho cause cau only be eur
mis . The liliitard gives these facts:
t nearly a thousand feet sur
r iding the poiut of the explosion
. reinaius of Rtw were scattered on
the snow aud io the biauchea of the
shrubbery and trees The fact that he
was tbe man who bad driveo to the
magazine and that some of the frag
ments of clothing, including pieces of
a rubber coat, were all that Could be
found to identify him. His body was
literally blown to pieces. The largest
part discovered was a piece of oue foot,
which was lound by Mr. Dibble fully
300 feet from where the wagon stood.
And yet, notwithstanding tbe fact that
the body was blowu iuto thousands of
pieces, so peculiar was the power of
the explosive iu its fearful execution,
that scarcely a drop of blood was any
where to be seen.
The magazine is in a bullow a few
rods from the road aud iuto this hol
low Rew had evidently driven bis
team and backed the wagon up to tbe
magazine for the cans. Though the
roanuer iu whir.b tbe accideul occurred
will never be koown, tbe supposition
is that iu loading the caus, or after be
had tbein loaded, through some slip of
his own or of the wagou or horses, two
of the caus must have struck each
other, and that as glycerine is panic
ularly sensitive on a morning as cold
as this morning wa, the explosion was
the result. The wagou, as previously
noted, was backed op to the magazine
and toward the road, tbe horses facing
tbe woods. After the explosion the
auimals were f und to have beeo lifted
bodily aod thrown about twenty feet
over some barrels aud brush and laud
ed upon their feet. Neither of them
was killed, though both yes badly
siifldued aod cut somewhat .y tbe fly
ing debris. Oue of the horses had
apparently been lifted clear over the
other as their positions were found to
have beeti reversed aud there Weie no
tracks to indicate that tbey had so
changed themselves. All tbsrwas left
of tbe wagon was the tongue aud the
underbrush surrounding was torn to
shreds. And yet only the glycerine
on the wagon exploded that in the
magazine was untouched though but
a few feet awsy.
Rew was seed about 35 vears. and
leaves a wife and three children living
at 1 ranklin.
Milling From Home.
The L-iuisville Commercial of Jan.
7ib, mentions tbe mysterious disap
pearance from his home in tbat city,
of Archie. K. Bates, son of the late
Hun. II. S. Bates of Titusville. Ar
chie is well known iu Tionesta where
he bas been a very frequent visitor,
and where he bas a host of friends
among the young people of our town.
About four mouths ago he -was mar
ried to Banker Quigley's daughter of
Louisville, where be bas beeu living
for a year or more past, having a po
sition as clerk in the office of his
uucle, Will H. May. Tbe Commer
ciaC$ report says :
"Their married life has apparently
been a happy one aud the young peo
pie seemed greatly devoted to each
other. Nothing whatever transpired
to mar their happiness.
"Ou last Friday afternoon Bates
left the house, sayiug tbat be would
return in half an hour. Coming up
towo he met a friend, and it is said
they got a cigar in Kick and Jake's
saloon, ou Jefferson street, above
fourth. When the friend left him
Bates said he was going borne, and he
started In that direction. That is the
last that has been seen of bun. A
search has beeo instigated, but with
out avail. At every place that he bas
beeo accustomed to visit inquiry bas
been made, but a negative answer is
always the result. No cause can be
given by his friends for his disappear
ance, except that, a few days previous
to his disappearance from home, he
bad been somewhat despondent, though
nothing was thought of it at the time.
His friends aie unable to offer an ex
planation for bis absence, and they
fear tbat something serious has befall
en bim.
"The day following his disappear
ance. after an unsuccessful search had
been roide for bim, Mr. May tele
graphed to his mother in Titusville,
and be received a reply staling that
the young tuau had not been there.
His wife is almost distracted over bis
disappearance."

Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages
are the result of green human calves being
allowed to run at large in society pastures
without a muzzle on. They have children
before they do mustaches. They are mar
i led and the father of twins before they
are possessors of two pairs of pants, and
the little girls they marry aro old women
before they are 20. Occasionally one ol
these gosling's marriages turns out all
right, but it is a clear case of luck. If
there was a law against youug galoots
sparking and marrying before thoy have
cut ail their teeth, we suppose the little
cusses would evado it In some way. Hut
there ought to be a sentiment against it.
It Is time enough for those bantams to
think of finding a pullet when they have
raised enough money to buy a bundle of
lath to build a hen coop. But they see a
girl who looks cunning, and they are
afraid there will not bo cuougb to go
'round, and then they spark real spry, and
before thoy are awaro of the sanctity ol
tho marriage relation they Aro hitched for
life, and before they own a cook stove or a
bedstead they have got to get up in the
night and go for the doctor, ao frightened
that they run themselves out of breath and
abuse the doctor because ho does not run
too. And whan the doctor gets thero,
there is not linen enough in the house to
wrap up tho baby. I'eoria Ctll.
