A Close Holiday on the Street. SHIRKING THE SITUATION. Analyzation of the Lake Shore Entanglement. Pres NON WALL STREET, TUESDAY, Nov. 4, 1873. This being election day and a public holiday, no business was transacted here, most-of the private eMices being deserted as well as the public offices, “the street” seeming to be in mourning. The banks were closed, the Stock Exchange was closed ‘and the Gold Room was closed. No announce- ment of.a failure could ve made, as no official act 4ooking to that result could be committed. Even RUMOR HAD BEEN ENTICED AWAY te the polls, and instead of circulating startling stories respecting monetary exigencies, was busy ‘with the chances of election, The London prices Were not circulated, and Wall street, after the feverish anxiety of the past few weeks, ‘welcomed this as a day of rest. Most of the places of business were closed in comity with the pub- lie institutions, and no effort, even such as 18 usu- sally apparent on a holiday, was made to do busi- mess on the sidewalk. It was emphatically a dies ‘non, and was entirely without results so far as ‘the financial situation is affected. THE CONDITION OF THE LAKE SHORE ROAD, its complications and irregularities, seems more and more with every fresh item of news presented to the public to involve the solution of a mys- terious problem. There has been either that square honesty exhibited which is due to the Investor or stockholder or downright fraud. Let us see: Among the.assets reported by Mr. Wesley, the receiver of the Union Trust Company, we find the following suggestive items, descriptive of the collaterals heid on loans:—$6,000 Michigan and Lake Shore bonds, $66,000 Leavenworth county bonds, $6,000 Toledo and Wabasn bonds, $175,000 Pacific Hotel Company first mortgage bonds, $196,000 Pacifc Hotel Company second mortgage bonds, $14,000 Erie and Pittsburg Railroad bonds, $15,000 Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan bonds, $312,000 first mortgage Jamestown and Franklin Railroad, $300,000 second mortgage Jamestown and Franklin Railroad, $55,000 first mortgage K al- @mazoo and White Pigeon Railroad. Now, itis a significant fact that the securities ‘velow named are descriptive of the securities of the Lake Shore road as per their balance sheet of July 1, 1873, and on comparison they will be sound ‘to strangely correspond with the above list. The list reads as follows:—$6,000 Michigan and Lake Shore bonds, $66,000 Leavenworth county bonds, $6,000 Toledo and Wabash bonds, $175,000 Pacific Hotel Company first mortgage bonds, $19,000 Pacific Hotel Company second mortgage bonds, $14,000 Pittsburg and Erie Railroad bonds, Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan Railroad bonds, $58,000 Kalamazoo and White Pigeon Railroad bonds, $1,723,987 40 interest in tne Jamestown and Franklin Railroad Company. It will be seen from the foregoing that the Lake Shore Company have curiously involved themselves im a financial complication. In other words, we ‘Dave not got to the bottom of their ARITHMETICAL ARRANGEMENTS. ‘The figures, so far as the simple-minded public are concerned, are all mixed, and possibly they will ‘nly be explained when some one of the directors ‘who are alleged to have used the assets of the corporation for individual and speculative pur- poses is forced to the front ina court of civil law to make explanation of the manner in which these Vast interests have been manipulated. From all appearances Lake Shore stock has been used like a foot pall between a crowd of men, each of whom, Fepresenting his own particular “ancy,” has Kicked it where ne pleased. The depositors of the Union Trust Company owe it to themselves to look vigilantly into the peculiar co-operative movement Suggested by the foregoing figures, and to ascer- tain immediately the half dozen speculators who, dividing themselves between the interests of the Lake Shore Railroad and those of the Union Trust Company, were enabled to perpetrate what, in the Janguage of the Police Court, would be denominated “aA SWINDLE;” but which, in the politer phrase of the street, we suppose must be designated only as a lucky turn. It is unpleasant to contemplate and discuss men im the character of defaulters whose names have een the synonymes for Wall street honor; but, ‘when we scan such figures as are presented by the books of this Trust Company it seems as if we had Mo Osher resource than to write them down equally faulty with the worst criminals of society. One steals his fractions for bread and butter; the other steals his millions for a reputation. We come now to the “investments” of the Trust Com- pany, and we merely mention a few of them as quoted by the receiver:—Atiantic and Pacific Stock, 1,000 shares; Union Pacific stock, 2,000 shares; C., C. and I. C., 400 shares; Pacific Mail, 300 shares. Truly a beggarly array of empty boxes." Let the suggestive items, so eloquent with good judgment, so indicative of a purpose to make money rapidly ior stockholders, so thoughtful in their outreach, 80 select in the choice of securities, #0 eminently representative of the average banker to whom people in their folly trast money, teach the lesson which the people are learning in the midst of this panic—to wit, that rascality may ar- Tay itself In good clothes, live in a brown stone front, talk in dignified monosyilables, be accredited ‘with Christian excellence and possess a paradise of fame in a high-toned church; yet at the jast, when Measured by the practical multiplication table of society, be found worthy of no better place than Sing Sing.

OTTAWA, Nov. 4, 1873, In Parliament last night the debate was con- tinued by Sir John A. Macdonald, who delivered a vigorous and exhaustive speech, lasting five hours, and which was only concluded at two o’clock this morning. He reviewed the constitutional question and the appointment of the commission, and spoke of the work done by the Royal Commission, observ- ing that he relied upon the report and considered it beneath him to vindicate the character of the commissioners, Judge Wilson, long a politi- cal opponent of his, had declared that he saw nothing to criminate the govern. ment. Had he (Sir Jon) yielded to the blackmailing attempt of McMullen these charges Would never have been heard of. He referre: the charges made against him in connection witn the Washington Treaty and to bis triumphant Tefutation of that matter. He alluded to the policy of his government respecting Nova Scotia and British Columvia, challenging the leaders of the Opposition to appoint a comiittee to investigate the whole question of expenditure in reference to the e! ons, and expressed confidence that the result Would show that more members on the Op- position side owe their seats to corrupt means than on the Ministerial side. He strongly biamea Sir Hugh Altan for the delay in apprising lis Amer- lean Iriends of the fact tiat the government had determined to have hothing to do with them, and would not screen the living at the expense of the dead. But neither Sir George Cartier nor any other single Minister was able to bind the government, Hie detended the directors of the Pacific Kallway, and quoted irom Englsh precedents for his’ own handling of the election funa, fret that Mr, Huntington had not been before the yal Commission to cross-examine, He deed his opponents to show a line in the Pacific charter which bore out the charge that Sir Hugh Allan has obtained any preference or advantage. He de. claved himeelf Cy to victory or deteat, and ap- peaied to the House to support aman who had spent @ lifetime in the service of Canada. After the Premier had taken his seat, Hon.

THE TAINTOR CASE. Motion ;for a New Trial Argued--- Decision Reserved. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. Patrick H. McGuire and Jonn Dolan, of the Eighteenth Assembly district, who had been ar- rested on a charge of inducing men to repeat the registration of their names, were discharged yes- terday by Commissioner, Davenport, Order of Ar- rest Clerk Jarvis becoming responsible for their appearance. A. J. Haggerty and William Iewis, of the Fifteenth Assembly district, were held in $2,000 bail each on a charge of tampering with the regis- tration list. Malachi Whelan and Martin John Kin- neally of the same district, charged with making use of false naturalization papers, were dis- charged. It will be seen from our law report, that an im- portant motion was argued yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, before a tull bench—Judges Woodraff, Blatchford and Benedict—for a new trial in the case of Frank L, Taintor, who had been re- cently convicted of embezzling $400,000, the prop- erty of the Atlantic National Bank, of which he had been cashier, After hearing counsel on both sides, the Court took the papers and reserved its decision. THE TAINTOR CASE. The Atlantic Bank Embezzlement Affair—Argument on Motion tor a New Trial tor Taintor—Decision Re- served. Yesterday Judges Woodruff, Blatchford and Benedict sat in the United States court room, at No, 27 Chambers street, to hear a motion for a new trial of Frank L. Tamtor, who was convicted be- fore Judge Benedict in the recent term of the court ior having embezzled about $425,000, the property of the Atlantic National Bank, of this city, of which establishment he hac been cashier. The District Attorney appeared on behalt of the government; and Mr. J. C. Carter, Mr. A. 0. Hall John Sherwood were counse: tor de- fendant. Mr. A, O. Hall opened the motion on behalf of the defendant for a new trial. He said that the defendant was indicted in substance and form under chapter 106 of the law of Congress of 1864, section 55. The indictment seemed to invite these legal conclusions for the prosecution :—First, as casbier, the deiendant embezzled or misapplied bank fund. Second, he did so with mtent to injure the bank. The defendant, at the trial, ad- mitted each physical act of withdrawing funds, anda mental assent thereto. He controverted that such withdrawal amounted to misaoplidation and denied that he intended to deiraud by his withdrawals, His counsel contended that the withdrawal was not misapplication because de- fendant intended to benefit the bank by what he did, and that there was, when he withdrew tunds, @ contingency of benefit to the Lank equal to that contingency of loss which ultimately followed. They argued that, even if there were a _ technical misapplication of the funds, the prosecution must give evidence of intent to defraud. The prosecution averred that the technical misapplication preciuded de- fendant from contesting the intent question. At the trial counsel for defendant also argued that, even if these acta of withdrawal or misapplication, of themselves presumed intent to defraud, then this was a [fos fade that be should have oppor- tunity to answer by evidence tending to show in- nocent intent; and invent not to injure the bank, but to beneiit it by successful results arising from gains upon the commercial use he made of the bank junds withdrawn, even although his judg- ment was imprudent. Offers on the part of the defendant’s counsel to ee this position were ex- cluded by the learned Judge who tried the case. Mr. Hall submitted that the questions now pre- sented by defendant for discussion and fairly stated were :— Firt—Were defendant's acts as acts mala in se? Second—It not mala in se, could they, as mala prokibita, couvey @ tonclusive bai intent—i. ¢., one not only not necessary to be proven outside of corpus delicti, but an in- tent which was not even disputable by evidence Third—Is the statute one that makes criminal any ap- plication of bank tunds by a cashier, which application is not under a power granted toa national bank, or one that to such misapplication is assigned a conclusive and indisputable inten, to injure? Mr. Hail contended that the crime, if any, was not one at common law, nor under the statutes of the state of New York, ‘The testimony of the gov- ernment in this case did not establish embezzie- ment against State law; certainly not larceny, be- cause, a8 cashier, the defendant was custodian and possessor O1 the abstracted funds. claded an able argument, contending that the de- fendant ought to have a new trial. The District Attorney replied to the argument of Mr, Hall. He cited several sections of tne Law of 1864, and said that all the sections went to show that the bank had no authority to use any part of its capital or funds in the buying or selling of stocks in the Market, much jess to buy them on @ margin, Such conduct was a violation of the charter of the bank, and the directors or cashier had no _ authority. whatever to buy any stocks. If that was so, it iollowed, as a proper result, by the Gity-third section of the act, that if the diréctors of any bank kuowingly per- mitied any officer of the association to violate any of the provisions of this section, the rights, iran- chizes and privileges of the association would be jeopardised, and for every such violation every director who assented to the same must be held labie in his individual capacity. And now this prisoner came here, admitting that he took the Tunds of the bank and invested them in the pure chase of stocks, in violation o1 the autnority and charter of the bank, (eer eer | the bank to a for- feiture of all its rights and privileges. The prisoner came there and said that this act of his did not necessarily injure the bank. it seemed to him (the District Attorney) that it was trifl to say that the cashier of a b its funds in this manner did not n sarily injure the bank. This must form the very nature and es- sence of the c: it was urged on the part of the de- fendant that there must be crimimal mtent proved apart irom the mere wrongiuiness of the act; that the prosecution had not shown that, or that the detence were at liverty to deny it, Ii that were so, he could not see how the detendant could »e per- mittec to deny, as he might have done if the prac- tice of the State Court allowing prisoners to testily in their own behalf prevailed in the United States Courts, that be had criminalimtent. The defend. ant said, “itis true f took the capital of the bank and its trusts and used them im @ way which the authority of the bank | did not anthorize, but in the inmost recesses of my conscience | intended to benefit the bank by the operation. Theretore, | had no inten- tion to injure t pank.” That was not true in all cases. The mierence of criminal intent, arising from the mere wrongtuiness of the act, snould be rebutted by proof to the contrary. The learned counsei cited the case of Kex vs. Harrington, in Russel and Ryan, page 207, where a person was charged with setting fire to @ mill with intent to ipjure another person; and it was there held that &@man mast be supposed to intend the necessary consequences of hisown act. This was a case de- cided by several judges in kngland, and among the judges who gave their sanction to this decision was Lord Elienborough, The District Attorney cited other English cases in support of this view, and then turned his attention to American cases, adverting to one arising in a case of thegal voting as bearing upon the question at issue. The case was reported in Bradford, and had reierence to a party who was indicted under the statute, which provided that if any person knowing himself not to be qualified as a Voter should wilfully give any vote it was held that if he admitted at the trial that he voted at an election it was equivalent to an admission that he voved wilfully, Ali offences against the United States were malain prohibitum, as they were against statute. It was abhorrent to any man’s moral sense that a person should use trust funds in & manner not authorized by law; and it was quite a8 abhorrent to @ man’s sense of justice for one to yote when he had no right to vote. It was not open to the defendant to say that while the crime was @ statutory crime in the United states Court, yet t when he committed an act clearly ultra vires, and did a thing a8 little within the power of the bank as to buy lottery tickets, he did hot know that he was not violating the law, be- cause he must be presumed to have known that hus act was illegal), as person can presume to plead ignorance of the law. The defendant could not be allowed to come in here, and say, “True, L committed a bad act, but did it for a lawful pur- pose |’ He claimed to do wrong in the hope that right would follow from it. He (the District Attorney) did not believe that the Court would } A otpeod this man to say that he did this act, mvolv- Dg the Jos of the capital of the bank, with a good intent, id that, therefore, he was iree criminal blame, Mr, J. C, Carter followed in an able speech in re- ply on behalf of the defendant, With regard to ® gman being supposed to intend the necessary con- Nequence of bis own act he apprehended that that meant nota legal but @ logical consequence. Their defence in thi# ease was the common one of good Intewt. Sneha defence was often raised in bad Sait, and was apt to excite sarcasm in a matter of would faxnish @ protection irom thege wri ‘Ong. such cirowmstauces the be tree trois” abprenendion, “on, perkabe, stom Counsel con- | Mr. Carter went on cases as bear! upon the views he present the Court, mentioning one that occurred jJand where in an unmistakable case of property the question was leit to the jury to sa) whether the party taking it intended to return it Now it was not shown that the prisoner made a @isposition of the funds of the bank in the low, corrupt, selfish way of making money for his own Purposes, nor had it been shown that he intended to deiraud any person of his property by cheat or trick. Embezzlement had more analogy rival than to public wrong. There could be no embezzle- ment where the transaction was open, and the law invapaes only to punish the corrupt embezzlement of money. Judge Woodrutt—Suppose he took the money and put it into a taro bank ¢ Mr. Carter supposed that the legal sufficiency of such a defence would [A to the jury. Judge Woodruf—It he put the money into a faro bank and said that he was told todo so by the directors ? Mr. Carter—He might say that he was told to do so for the benefit of the bank. That was not im- possible in the nature of things. It was the policy of the law to keep crimes of different classes separate, and to punish according to the extent of the crime, The general policy of law was only to punish for criminal intent, ana there had been ho criminal intent proved Inst the prisoner. If he took the securities of the bank, went down to a broker’s office and borrowed money upon them for the benefit of the bank, he (Mr. Carter) did not believe that the Court would say he was guilty. At the conclusion of the argument the Court took the papers and reserved its decision. ‘The Court then adjourned until Saturday next. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Liability of the Corporation Prop- erty for Mechantes’ Liens. Before Judge Robinson. This is the first decision under the amenament to the law passed in 1872, Chapter 669, which ex- tends the provisions of the law of 1863, to wharves, piers, docks and bulkheads. David Ripley & Co. were the lienors for materials turnished to build the dock at the foot of Thirty-fifth street on the North River. Ripley & Co.’s attorneys moved for an ordér that the corporation appear and submit | to an accousting on the premises, George W. DaCosta, on behalf of the corpora- tion, opposed the motion on the ground that the notice of the filing of the lien was insufficient, and that the dock in question was not subject to the provisions of the Mechanics’ Lien law, The cause was argued at length, and Judge Robinson rend- ered a lengthy decision. He decided that the lienors had not complied with the law in refer- ence to stating the name of the ‘supposed owner—their notice charging the ownership upon the “city and county of New York’’—which has no legal existence. He also decided that the dock or pier in question +s in its very nature devoted to public use.” The title to the streets of New York is vested in the corporation pudlici juris, and the extension ol the dock or pier at the foot of the street is by operation of law but an extension of the street. This decision goes further in the direc- tion of protecting all kinds of corporation pro- perty from the provisions of the Mechanics’ Lien law than any previous adjudication, MARINE COU T—GENERSL TERM. Important Question of Jurisdiction— The Right of Foreign Sailors to Re- cover tor Wages in United States Courts—Opinion by Judge Joachimsen. In the case of Petersen vs. Brockelmann, argued | inthe General Term of the Marine Court, Judge Joachimsen has given the following opinion:— This is an action by a foreign seaman against a foreign owner of a foreign vessel to recover sea- man’s wages. The Consul Genera! of Germany Miles his protest against the jurisdiction of this Court and asks that the proceedings in this action be dismissed. It 18 in proof that the plaintuf shipped at Rio Janeiro, and his counsel contends that his voyage was terminated at this port; that he is not on the vessel’s muster roll, and that he is entitled to maintain suit inthis Court. On the other hand itis contended that, there being no doubt of the national character of the parties and of the vesse!, the case is one provided jor by arti- cle 13 of the treaty with Germany, proclaimed June 1, 1872 (vol. 17 U. S. Statutes at Large, p. 928), and that therefore the cause is not within the jurisdiction of federal or State Courts. The act of 1872 relative to this Court confers a jurisdiction for marine wages between sailor, master and owner, and 1s (except as to the amount) a transcript of a corresponding section in the act of 1813; but this legislation is subject to the modification which may be impressed upon it by the rule of the law ot pan Mr, Wheaton proves the rule to be that:— The private vessels of one State entering the ports of pther are not exempt from the local jurisdiction, un- less by express compact, and to the extent provided by such compact, In the case at bar our jurisdiction is made effec- tive only by the seizure of the foreign vessel. 2 ‘The municipal laws and institutions of any State may operate beyond it» own territory and within the territory of another State, by special compact between the two States. Here the treaty provides that differences as to Wages shall be decided by the Consul of Germany. On questions of this kind there shonid not be any conflict between the federal and State Courts. If there be an exclusion of jurisdiction it 1s unt- versal as to all American Courts. It attaches to the subject matter and is operative alike upon all the Courts. The principle that a sailor of a foreign nation has not, “as a matter of right,” a standing in the Courts to recover for work done on a lor- eign ship for a foreign owner is most recently heid in the case of the British vessel Beebedas Ambi- das, Judge Lowell reversing all the cases in Amer- ican federal Courts. I am compelled to admit that, under the present state of the law, the mo- tion to set aside the attachment must be granted and au order made staying proceedings. MARINE COURT—PART 2, Rights of Real Estate Brokers. Before Judge Gross. Henry Ogden et al. vs. John OC. Lawrence.—The plaintiffs allege that im May last they leased for the defendant the premises 61 Crosby street, for ten years, at @ yearly rental of $2,500; that the de- fendent has since refased to pay them their com- mission, and they brought this action to recover $250, being one per cent upon the whole amount of the rental. The defendant testified that, having posted @ notice on the premises “To let,” Mr. Ogden called upon him and inquired the rent, stating that he wished to bire the premises for Mr. R. N. Wooaworth, President of the New Branswick Carpet Company; that nothing was said about any commission, and he understood that Mr. s ee 3 Ogden was acting solely as the ent of Mr. Woodworth, and treated with him as such, On his cross-examination he sald that, having subsequently ascertained that the plain- tiffs were brokers, he fad offered to give them $25 merely as & compliment. The Court charged the jury that if they found that the defendant, knowing the plaints were brokers, availed himself of their services, and also that the plaintiffs did not act as the agent of the person hiring the premises, they would find a ver- dict for the plaintiffs; but if they found that the jaintifts acted only in the capacity of agents for he persons hiring the premises they would find efor the defendant, The jury found a verdice for the plaintilts for $125, without interest, COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY, supreme CovurT—Cinccir—Part 1.— Adjourned until Monday.—Part 2—Held by Judge Van Brunt.— Nos. 324, 26834, 104414 2144, 2334, 680, 2726, 8070, 310, 638, 1090, 862, 1086, 2682, 2002, 274, 468%, 498, 61232. 928.

Threats of Lynching the Perpetrators— Confession of the Murderers—Their Re- moval to the Hempstead Jail for Safe Keeping. The feeling in Queens county, especiaily in the town of Jamaica, at the brutal murder of Philip Reid Howard on Sunday last by two pot hunters, ‘who he was ordering off his premises, is increasing daily against the perpetrators of the outrage. So strong, indeed, 1s the feeling that it was deemed necessary on Monday evening to convey the prison- ers, Gilligan and Lennon, to the County Juil at Norch Hempstead, where a strong guard was placed over them. On Monday evening a large crowd of men gathered about the Town Hall, Jamaica, and, from their con- versation, it soon became evident that they were drawn there from other motives than curi- osity, and until assured by the Justice and others that the prisoners had been removed refused to depart. No such excitement has occurred in the town of Jamaica since 1849, when Wilts, @ colored man, was arrested for Lele alto an outra; upon a white woman whom he met in the woods near the One Mile mill, At that time large num- bers o! people went to the jail with the full deter- mination to lynch the prisoner, and were only pre- vented by the firmness of the Sheriff and his depu- ties in carrying out their design. Much sympathy is expressed tor the murdered man’s family, he leaving a wife and three small children; also for bis aged parents, whose grief is unconsolaple at the loss of their son, The deceased belonged to one of the oldest families on the island, and resided on the farm given to him by his lather, Mr. Howard some years since having al- vided ninety acres of land equally ee I) four sons. The murdered man was noted for his indus- trioas habits, and the murder 1s more aggravated from the iact that he was one of the most inoffen- sive of men, Yesterday James Lennon made a confession to Justice John S. Snedeker, in the presence of John H. sutphin, Esq., County Clerk, and two other gen- tlemen. Lennon’s confession is in substance as follows :—Myself and father-in-law, Patrick Giiligal were out gunning on Sunday morning, November 2, 1873. About twelve o’clock noon, as we were crossing the meadows, we sat dowa on a haycock to rest. At this moment the deceased (Howard) came up and asked us what we were doing there. Gilligan replied that we were not on his prem- ises, but on Conoliy’s land. Howard then came towards Gilligan, She 2 “Pll let you know, you son of a b—h.” joward had one hand extended toward Gilligan and one hand in his pantaloons pocket. As Howard advanced Gilll- gan raised his gun and discharged one barrel at him, which { think did not bit him, Howard con- tinued to press on after Gilligan. When Gilligan fired the second barrel at him the muzzle of the gun was so close to Howard's body that the entire charge must have passed through him. I, knowing the character of Guligan, got out of the way as soon as possible. At the inquest to-day Lennon will be put on the stanc, together with other wit- nesses who heard Gilligan state that he would shoot any one who dared to molest him while gun- ning on Sundays. ‘The suneral of the murdered man will take place on Thursday afternoon trom the Congregational church at Woodhaven, Rev. William James, pastor. A TERRIBLE B&PLOSION. The Dry House of a Powder Mill Blown Up and Exploded in the Air—Three Men Killed. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 4, 1873. A thrilling catastrophe took place at half-past six o’clock this morning ata place called Gibson- burg, a small town twelve miles from this city, by which three men met with a shocking death. The calamity occurred at the powder mills of Ladin & Co., the dry house of which was blown several hundred feet in the air, where it exploded with a Teport like a sharp peal of thunder, reverberating away among the hills and scattering the blazing fragments along the adjoining hillsides for nearly mile. There were four men in the vicinity of the dry house at the time of the terribie accident. One the other three powder works are situated on the right bank of the Lackawanna ‘River, close to the line of the Delaware and Hud- gon River Railroad. ‘The woods on the left bank of the river were on fire, and tt 18 supposed that a spark from the flaming forest was wafted on vhe breeze across the river and produced the fatal occurrence, The explosionawas witnessed by the passengers on the early train from Carbondate to Scranton, who say that the ‘dry house was blown nearly a mile high in the air when it exploded, producing & scene of the wildest grandeur, worthy pas Kitna and scattering the fragments in all direc- ions. ‘The Laflin Powder Works are among the largest in the State and employ about 100 hands. ‘They are under the supervision of Messrs. Lafin & Boyce, and have exploded several times since tiey were started, About two years ago an explosion took place there by which’ the woods in the adja- cent hills were ited and burned for a range of several acres, This is the first time, however, that any of these explosions have been attended with loss of iife. The wildest excitement was caused py the occurrence, several hundred persons having visited the scene during the day. One of the victims killed instantly and the other two lingered an hour in the most ex- cructating agony. would seem m the re- rates explosions that have taken place here i there is no ition for these periodical accidents, and some of the country people in the hen questioned about vicinit to nay, yee mation t Sime the powder inills explode rege ularly onée ‘a yeur.
