Sad Accident at Gas Works.
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.

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. A second bit
caused the well to flow, when drilling
' was discontinued and the boiler re
! moved. 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.
I Up to to-day the sand was not pierced,
I but the owners expect her to be good
for at least 75 bbls. The sand in this
locality averages about eighteen feet.
The same parties aie erecting 1 another
rig on same farm. Coe & C"., of
Millerstown, are drilling a well about
500 feet east of this well on the Low
rv farm. This well will be completed
in a few days if no accidents happen
Iloyt <fe Dennison are also drilling a
well on the Kirk heirs' farm, about
1000 feet South of this well and pot
considerable oil in second sand. The
Pipe Line bojs completed a well on
the Snow farm recently which is doing
twenty bbls. The wells in this ter
ritory are small but are very durable.
Two wells on the Fry farm, about a
mile and a half east of these develop
ments have been averaging 200 bbls.
per month for some eight years.
The Phillips No. 2 on the Wallace
farm, one mile east of Renfrew,
is doing 90 bbls. No. 1 is still do
ing 10 bbls.; the two wells are
doing about 100 bbls. per day.
The Phillips Bros, have but fifty
acres of this Wallace farm leased, but
have an option for the balance of the
farm.
DRESSING FOR SPRING.
What to Put on and Where to
Get it in Pittsburgh.
The subject of spring clothing is one
that imperatively demands considera
tion now. Winter is undoubtedly gone
for a few months, and the shabby suits
that did very well when covered most
ol the time by a thick overcoat are
sadly inharmonious with the bright
sunlight and fresh atmosphere that has
been vouchsafed to us for a week past.
At the Boston Clothing House (the
"Hub"), 95 Smithffeld street, there are
hundreds of suits to choose from, at all
prices, in all textures, and in all styles,
for business, evening or Sundav wear.
A large corps of clerks, who under
stand their business are always at the
disposal of customers at the Boston
Clothing House, and he must be hard
to please who cannot be suited at this
favorite establishment.
Equity Suits Report.
In the case of Thornelv Johnston and Mrs.
Ramsey against William S. Boyd, General
Eckley, of Ohio, as master, reports in favor of
Wm.S. Boyd, as having over paid them $493.00.
This, with the large equity suit brought
by the Allen heirs (Mrs. Ramsey being one of
them) against Win. S. B®yd, of Bntler, Pa.
and Major Allen, of Pittsburgh, over two years
on hand, resulted in favor of Win. S. Boyd,
having overpaid the Allen heirs $5,000.00.
The costs in both cases are very heavy, all of
which will have to be paid by the Allen heirs.

A Good Judge of Clothing De
ceived.
A man stole a new spring overcoat
the other day, and the property, was
recovered in rather a peculiar way.
The thief, who was a good judge of
fine clothing, offered to sell it to a
pawnbroker for $lB. The latter, see
ing that it was Worth the money, at
once paid over the price, and received
the coat. Before the seller could get
out of the store, however, the pawn
broker found a ticket on the garment,
showing that it came from the Boston
Clothing House, (the "Hub 1 '), 95
Smithfield street, and that its price was
only $lO. Thief hastily handed back
the $lO, and departed, leaving the coat
in the possession of the pawnbroker,
who returned it to its legal owner. It
may be stated that fine light-weight
overcoats can be bought at the TJoston
Clothing House for $C>, $7, SB, $9, $lO,
sl2, sl4, sls, sl6 and SIS.
