THE TIMES, NEW BL00MF1ELI), TA MAY 13. 1870.
Torrlblo Dynamite Explosion.
BTnATFoni), Out., May fl.A more oiuo
ful examination chows Hie damage done by
the dynamite explosion at the Grand Trunk
depot to be muoh greater than was ex
peoted. The housos around the freight shed
were nearly all wooden buildings and gov
eral were blown Into minute fragments.
Home fifty oars were blown luto splinters
ud as many more damaged. Tho debris
is now lying thickly scattered on and
-around the track. Mr. Flynn, the checker,
who has an office near the entianoe of the
.yard, Is among the badly Injured. Two of
the clerks, Messrs. Drysdnle and Porter,
were in the office at the time and bad a
narrow escape. The building was shatter
ed into a thousand fragments, and how
they esoaped unhurt Is a miracle. One mnn
'walking toward the freight house was
tlown over the fence and sustained only a
few scratches. A fragment of iron weigh
ing over a pound was ' driven through a
window or the Crown hotel, half a mile
from the eoene of the explosion. The
shock was felt in all the surrounding
towns, and it was supposed to be an earth
quake. The oar on which the explosion occurred
"was freighted nt Montreal for Amburst
bury and oontained thirty packages, which
were entered as blasting powdor. They
"were Bbipped on ncoount of Vanderbllt to
.be used iu blasting at the Detroit tunnel.
AVhen the explosion occurred the oars were
.being Bhifted hi the yard. The damage
will exceed f 25,000. George Hawkins, a
-ear dealer, had both his eyes put out by a
Rpiinter and is not expected to live. Joseph
Humphrey is badly out about the head and
face, but may recover. Alfred Larub was
ladly injured.
Atlasta, Ga., May 7. The jury iu the
Vox case was out all night and came in at
noon to-day to be recharged iu full. At a
quarter to 4 P. M. they came iu and an
nounced that they bad agreed upou the
following verdict : "We, the Jury, dud the
prisoner guilty, and reccommend that he
.bo punished by imprisonment for life in the
penitentiary." Judge Hillyer sentenced
Cox to be confined iu the penitentiary, or
such other place as the Governor may
direct, at hard labor for and during his
natural life.
General Gartnell gave notice that the
' defense would make a motion for a new
' trial, and praying a writ of sapersedeas.
..Kxecutiuu of the sentence was thereupon
staved twenty days. This penalty is virtu
ally the extreme of the law in this State,
as the law passed with Alston's aid at the
last session of the Legislature, giving the
jury the right to reccommend life imprison
ment in all cases of murder as they see fit,
in effect abolishes the death peualty. Cox
is thus the first man convicted of murder
who receives the beueflt of that law. The
verdict 1b received with general approval.
Burglar's Foiled.
The burglars who attempted to rob
Scragging & Sawyer's bank at Mount
Pulaski, 111., first visited Mr. Sawyer's
house, roused him up, and suddenly seized
and securely tied and gagged Lira. They
then tied and gagged Mrs. Sawyer and a
hired girl, and then left them in charge of
a ooufederate, while tfte others, with Mr.
Sawyer, went to the bank. The outer
vaults were opened, and Mr. Sawyer was
ordered to open the safe on pain of beiug
locked in the vault. Ho could only con
vince the thieves of his inability by induc
ing them to put their ears to the safe and
listen to the ticking of the chronometer.
Mr. Sawyer was not locked up iu the bank,
but was taken back to his family, and
there left, tied and gagged. The hired
girl was the first to free herself, when she
unbound the others.
C3TCapt. Matt. Canavan, Superintend
ent of a Nevada gold mine, recently gave
a ball 1,000 feet below the surface of
the earth. The soctiou of the mine used
was handsomely decorated and brilliantly
illuminated. The Virginia City "Enter
prise" says : " Tho ladies were dressed in
ealioo and the men in corresponding inex
pensive raiment. The furniture was iu
keeping with the place.and while there was
everything necessary to oomfort nothing
extravagant was seen. Never before iu
the United States if anywhere in the
world has there been given a ball at a
depth of nearly a quarter of a mile beneath
the surface of the earth. There was no
trouble about persons slipping into the ball
room without tickets. It was a queer way,
too, of going to a ball, this stepping upon
a cage instead of into a carriage and being
darted straight down towards the centre of
the earth instead of rolling oif horizontally
via the usual way.
A Cool Reception.
A tramp wout into a farmhouse near
Heading, in the absonce of the family, and
proceeded to the cellar to explore for cold
victuals, or anything handy. His first step
after reaching the cellar was into a well
thirty feet deep. After crying for help
until exhausted, be managed to hang to a
pump-stock and keep from drowning for
three and o-balf hours, until the family
came borne, when be was rescued and went
on bis way.
