B. Cutler, aseistant superintendent of the document foldirg room, was severely in- jured. The coucuesion was distinctly felt ‘roughout the entire build! The halls On the south side were filled with smoke and stifling gasses, and it was with considerable é the scene of the explosion could be reached. Carpenters had been em- po for some days past placing shelves in room for the pu: of storing therea lot of books from the folding room. The only opening to this room, ‘the on, sion occurred, was the door leading into it. HOW THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED. was @ bracket gas light over the door, and some of the employes on leaving the room must, in turning off the gas, have turned it on again without knowing it, there being no check on the key, which, on account of its height from the floor, was usually turned with @ stick. The room was thus Billed with oe In the afternoon Captain Cutler with Mr. King went to the room to see after the shelving. Mr. oe utlocking the decor, entered the room, fol. lowed by Captain Catler a few feet behind. The room being v dark, they both eo back towards the door, as the smell of gas was oppressive. When Mr. King reached the deor he struck a ntateh, and instantly a tremendons explosion occurred, both being | thrown with great force against the wall on the opposite side of the hall. FRIGHTFUL INJURIES OF MR. KING. Mr. King was forced against the door jam, which fractured both his knees, and pleces of the door and sash, which were blown off, ent his face and neck in a frightful manner. He was also shockingly burned about the bead ard arms. When found he was don- bled up on the floor of the hall, his head and breast having talien forward upon his legs. A gash was found extending half way from the nose to the ear over the right eyebrow, the right thigh broken and the bone protru ing through the fiesh. At first he was sup- posed to be dead, but finally was seen to | gasp, when restoratives were applied by | some physicians present, and he was re- moved at once to Providence hospital. CAPTAIN CUTLER WAS STUNNED, and presented a frightful appearance with bis face, neck and hands biistered, hair and whiskers simged close to the skin, but no bones were broken. He was taken into the room of the Sergeant at-Arms, suifering great ,and Senators Withers and,Dennis, both longing to the medical profession, attended him, and after his wounds were a was removed to hishome. Dr. ressed MeCoy, who is attending him, reports him badly burned, but that he has no internal injuries, and, if erysipelas does not set in, will recover. DEATH OF MR. KING. Mr. King was attended on bis arrival at Providence Hospital by Drs. J. E. Brackett and Beall, who dressed his wounds and, after administering opiates, made @ more extend- | ed examination of his injuries and decided that nothing could be done to save bis life, as the concussion bad done its work. He | Mngered till after 7 o'clock, when death relieved him of his sufferings. Mr. King was about fifty years old, of good reputation for integrity, and he leaves a family who reside on 6th, between H and I streets, north- west. FORCE OF THE SHOCK. The door to the room was tora from its binges and dashed against the opposite wall, shivering it to pieces. The wall was dis | figured and torn, and in one place is to be seen the prints of Mr. King’s hand, with por- blistered skin still clinging to the hard finish. The byte her gone and angles, at least forty or fifty feet from where it occurred, the transom at the head of the Senate stairs was dashed into the room of the official reporters of the Senate, causing no little consternation among that diligent corps.

The cashier of the restaurant was thrown violently back against the wail. -tSsS The Revival Work. The revival meeting at the Assembly cbureh yesterday was addressed by Rev.
