A sad accident happened near the gas house in this town last Thursday evening, by which a boy named Boyle, son of the widow Boyle, of Springdale, was seriously, and sons of Jos. Manny, Jos. White and McCarthy bad ly burned. Exactly how the accident happened, or how the gas came to be ignited is not known, the boys do not know themselves and all think differ ently about it excepting the Boyle boy, who is too badly burned to be able to talk. The large pipe from the natural gas well to the gas house was and is lying above ground and the gas from the well passing through it, up to a point near the works, where it was allowed to escape through a smaller pipe also lying on the ground, while the new meter was being prepared for its re ception. The noise made by the es caping gas of course attracted the at tion of the boys, a large number of which had gathered around the escape pipe and were playing with the escap ing gas—making it shoot tin cans from between their hands, throw out stones that they would throw into the pipe, etc. At the moment of the accident, the Boyle boy was sitting astride of the escape pipe with a can in his hands, another boy was standing near with a pipe or cigar in his mouth, and the White and McCarthy boys and others were also near the escaping gas. The gas exploded throwing the Boyle boy a distance of several feet and into pome water near by and burning him err.- bly about the face and head, and burn ing the Manny boy's face, and the White and McCarthy boys about the face and neck. Some people think the gas was ignited by the boy's pipe or cigar, others that the tin can held by the Boyle boy was thrown against a piece oflarge iron pipe lying near and making a spark, others that one of the boys must have struck a match, though nobody saw that done. It is well known that a lighted cigar will ignite this natural gas though it will not always ignite common or man ufactured gas. The boys at last ac counts were all doing well, though at Grst, it was supposed that the Boyle boy would not recover. A Terrible Explosion. KITTANNINQ, April 22.—A tremend ous explosion of giant or Atlas powder took place at the depot of the Allegheny Valley Railroad yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock which shook the town and spread destruction on every hand for a distance of over 100 yards from the immediate scene of the disaster. From what can be learned it appears that Mr. Wylie Reynolds, agent of tbe road, and Mr. Will Rheem, coal dealer, were engaged in the pastime of firing at a mark on the side of one of the loaded freight cars standing ou the siding, and had been so engaged for some minutes, when a shot lired by Mr. Rheem resulted in an explosion which completely demolished the car, and made an almost complete wreck of seyeral passenger coaches which were lying on the side track. It is repre sented that two 50-pound cases of the powerful explosive were stored in the car ready for shipment to Reynolds Bros, at Redbank, and its presence was overlooked or uuknown to the agent—who is a very careful person in bis management of the company's prop erty—and simultaneously with a shot fired by Mr. Rheem came the terrible explosion, which, fortunately, resulted in no serious personal injury, though several very narrow escapes were made from instant death. Dinsmore, the conductor of the ac commodation which leaves Kittanoiug at 3 o'clock, was in close proximity to the car, and was struck by a flying missile., and received a severe scalp wound. Mr. W. Rheem and a young man named Walter Diffenbacher both sustained injuries, the latter sufficiently serious to temporarily disable him. The windows in the depot were de molished by the concussion, and in the Bismark House adjoining the depot great damage was done. Every build ing in the immediate neighborhood sustained more or less injur)'. Al though the damage is great, a general satisfaction is felt that no fatalities en sued. Rich and Juicy vs. Poor Meat Beef is very much like butter; unless it is goon it is worthless, and if one can get a good article tor a very (slight advance over a much inferior article, he is foolish not to take the best. It is well known that Air. Shamberg, whose market is opposite the residence of Col. J. M. Thompson, always keeps the finest qual ities of meats, and yet sells at the most reason able figures. Mr. S., is a thorough Judge of good meat and that is the secret of his success in business. Under no circumstance will he allow a pound of poor meat to go out of his shop. His meat is always rich, tender, ju'n y palatable and healthy. Give it a trial and you will use no other. TERRIBLE STORM. Large Mississippi Towns Com pletely wiped out of Existence. NEW ORLEANS, April 23. —Passen- : i gers on the Jackson Railroad, who learned some of the particulars of the j cyclone which struck Beauregard and Wesson, Miss., with such terrible ef- j feet on Sunday evening, report a fear- j ful state of affairs. The loss of life is j officially reported by mayor Gibert, of Wesson, to be 20 at that point and 27 j at Beauregard, with over a hundred i injured more or less severely. Some fifteen or twenty persons are missing. No one knows what has become of them, but is presumed that they are blown away. An eye witness to the disaster at Beauregard says that about 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon rain fell, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and this state of things continued for an hour or so, when the sky assumed a copperish hue, and presently it became very dark. TERRIFIO PHENOMENA. About 3:30 a rumbling sound like that of a heavy freight train in the dis tance was heard, proceeding apparant ly from the northwest. Gradually this portentous noise increased in in teusity. The people became alarmed at what seemed the subterraneous moanings of an earthquake. The thunder roared in the sky like detona tions of the heaviest artillery. The discharges of lightning were almost continuous, and the course of the fluid through the atmosphere resem bled streams of molten metal. Pre ceeded and accompanied by this ter rific phenomena the tornado burst up on the little town, sweeping away the buildings, trees and other objects in its path as if they were mere toys to be tossed about and played with at the pleasure of the storm. A few min utes the cyclone raged in the midst of a devoted town, then passed onward, sweeping to the northeast and leaving destruction as the dread souvenir of its visit to the town of Beauregard. When the violence of the wind had somewhat subsided the people who had escaped destruction ventured forth to succor the less fortunate whose dwel ling had been overthrown. The path of the tornado was about a quarter of a mile in width, embracing the entire business portion of the town. Along Main street scarcely a building was left standing in the course of the storm. Even solid brick structures were com pletely demolished. About 36 dwel ling houses and 20 stores were blown down and the fragments scattered in all directions. As speedily as possible succor was brought to the wounded and to those who lay under the ruins. The Jackson Railroad Company's depot at Beauregard was destroyed and four box and flat cars standing on the track were blown away, a flat car being carried several hundred yards and broken into fragments. The operatives employed at Mr. Edward Richardson's Wesson Mills re sided there, and the storm did sad work among them. Over "70 people had their limb 3 broken and over a dozen were killed outright. Those who escaped injury busied themselves in giving aid to the unfortunate, and trains were sent out from the other towns on the road with medical and other assistance. One man who left his house to take shelter under a tree was knocked almost to pieces by flying timber. There is not a spot on him that is cot bruised, and he will proba bly die. An old man has both hands broken. One boy had the top of his bead taken off. The town was almost totally demolished, and even the woods surrounding it were to a great extent swept away. It is a wonder that any of the inhabitants escaped. Strange Scene in a Jury Room. From Pittsburgh Dispatch of April 21.] During the progress of the second trial of Sylvester A. Oosgrave yesterday, on the charge of obtaining mouey from the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Bank under false pretenses, a circumstance of a rather extraordinary nature occurred, which was only equalled by the remark able conduct of a juror in divulging the nature of a sealed verdict. Thejory in the first case, which was taken up for trial on Thursday, retired on Thursday afternoon, shortly before 3 o'clock. They remained out all night, and upon the reassembling of the court yesterday morning it was found they had not agreed upon a verdict. The trial of the second case, the jury in which wasempanneled shortly before the ajournmeut of court ou Thursday, was continued and ran along smoothly until about 2 o'clock, when Judge White suddenly left the bench, it is said in response to a message from the "hung jury," asking further instructions, and went to their room, called them into an adjoining room, and proceeded to instruct them. A moment later an attorney hastened into the court-room and informed A. M. Brown. Esq , that he had seen the Judge enter tho room which the "hung jury" occupied. "Is it possible ?" said Mr. Brown, excited ly; "where's Marshall ?" Glancing hastily about the room he spied his col league standing at one of the windows. He made a brief statement to him and a moment later Mr. Marshall in a great ' hurry ran out of the Court room, and I ascending the stairs two steps at a time, rushed toward the jury room. I The tivstave at the door refused him admission, and seeing that Mr. Mar shall did not heed hiiu, threw himself against the door. Finding it impossible to effect an en trance at that door Mr. Marshall hast- I ened to another one leading to the ! room, which he entered before the tip ! stave could interfere. Mr. Marshall I confronted Judge White aud in excited tones demanded by what authority he invaded the jury room The Judge, as was afterwards stated, replied that he was not talking to the jury about the case. This, however, it 13 alleged did nut pacifv Mr. Marshall, who, quite in dignant, expressed his feelings in most emphatic terms. The two returned to the room together. After the adjour nment of court. Mr. Marshall was inter viewed, but he declined to say anything for publication except to express his dis approval of the action of Judge White, which he said was uncalled for and un ; warranted. It was learned from an other source that Mr. Marshall had said ! that he would use this circumstance to advantage if the case went against him, 1 and might even go so far as to demand I Judge W bite's removal from the ben ch. | The affair soon became known at the various lawyers' offices, and excited a great deal of comment. j Advartisc in the Citizm. Good Well in Oakland twp. The Showalter Bros, and Jos. Hartman well on the Daniel Heck f farm in Uaklaud twp., reached the ! sand last Saturday when the hole filled about 800 feet with oil.

Drilling was resumed Mon day morning when the well flowed at J intervals of eight to ten minutes, ' making twenty-three bbls. in 5 hours.
