M. a black cloud seemed to bear down on the city, and as it approached it grew denser. A few moments alter a solid block of water poured down, and was fol lowed by hail. Roofs were beaten hi, sighs hurled to the ground and walls undermined by the water and hail. An unknown Swede who lived in the flats below town was swept away, and a woman who went down toward the creek could not be found by the party of searchers. Twelve miles of railroad tracks were washed away on the Midlands. The duration of the storm was twenty minutes and its path was a mile wide. The cloud came from the northwest. The damage will amount to at least $230,000 in the city and vicinity. At Rocky Ford all the irrigating ditches were overflowed and broken, doing great in jury to the surroundine countrv.

C., of a terri ble boiler explosion which occurred a few mornings ago at a country sawmill twelve miles west of Newberry, on Dr. W. M. Dor- ron’s place. Four men, one white and three colored, were killed and two colored men seriously wounded. Pickens P. Matthews, white, son of the owner of the mill, met with an awful fate.. He was literally blown to atoms—his limbs being found some distance from the scene of the explosion and other portions of his body suspended in trees. The colored men, Carey Davis, Thomas Ellison and William Chambers, had their heads blown off and were otherwise terribly mutilated. Milton Rabb, colored, had his thigh badly mashed and Walt. Davis was fearfully scald ed. A colored boy named Young, about twelva years old, was the only one who escaped un injured. He says that the pump was out of order and the engine had been stopped. Elli son, the colored engineer, and the other col ored men were around the furnace of the engine and Matthews was work ing with the pump when the ex plosion occurred. The pump was in front of the engine and near the saw, being sup plied with water from a small stream along side of which the engine was placed. Mat thews’s shoes were found by the stream with his feet in them, having been blown from his body. The noise of the explosion was distinctlj heard by several persons in Newberry and b j other persons at great distances' in the country.

Louisville has lost but one extra-inning game this season. The Boston Players have anew uniform of gray, with dark blue caps. Nichols is considered the fastest runner of the Boston League team. Brooklyn was the first club in the Play ers’ League to win fifty games. Where is the pitcher who can go into a game and count on a victory this year. ' Radbourn has done the steadiest work of the boston Players’ quintet of pitchers. Boyle and Conway, of the New York League Club, have not pitched a game this season. The Brotherhood has already forced one of the League clubs (Pittsburg) from its own grounds. Gibson, the Pittsburg League ( pitcher, • is rfx feet two inches in height and weighs only 130 pounds. Some of the present National League play ers are booked already for Players’ League berths next season. Noticeable is the frequent employment of the double umpire system among minor clubs. It’s growing. Syracuse is the best road team in the Association. They can win far more games abroad than at home. Fourteen players in the Players’ League have a better batting average than the best in the National League. * No pitcher in the country uses as many mrve balls with command dud success as Sus Weyhing, of tha Brooklyns. Pitchers, as a rule, are not symmetrical; they are more strongly developed on their pitching side than on the other. It cost $45,500 to get the present Brooklyn League Club together, that amount being expended for players’ releases. The Players’ League umpires and captains have again been instructed to do all within their power to shorten the game. The Nevr York League team is now re duced to thirteen players, which is as many players as any cluo ought to carry.

When they reached the Ogden graveyard, which is on a bluff near the Flat Rock stream, they dis covered that fully ten acres of the earth was in commotio a. Geysers were shoot- gey sars. torn up and the water had stopped running below the graveyard. Flames are still shooting from fifty different fissures in the earth. The county had not been considered in the gas belt, although local companies have sunk many wells. At Waldron, a little town eight miles southeast of Shelbyville, Ind., a sufficient flow of gas was found to supply the citizens with fuel. Nobody thought that a gusher was slumbering near the town, and few have entertained the idea, of permanent flow of gas in that locality. A little stream known as Flat Rock runs south westerly through the county, and about three miles south of Waldron on the hanks of Flat Rock, is a sort of butte upon which a country graveyard has been in use for many years. "The river at this point runs west, and Ccan’s Greek empties into it from th3 north, forming a kind of horseshoe-shaped strip of land opposite the graveyard. Edmund Cooper owns the land on the north side of the river, and it was in this strip that the explosion occurred. J. H. Lowe, who lives on the Cooper farm, heard a terrible report, and felt tae earth quivering beneath his feet He went toward the graveyard and was soon confronted by a sheet of flame 200 feet high. Then fifty or more fountains of fire burst from the earth. These were interspersed with six or eight active geysers. At the >ast side of the eruption a large stack of straw was in flames, and a field of green corn was drooping before the excessive heat from the ten acres of flame. The river bed was torn to pieces, and huge fissures were receiving the river’s water. Sheets of flame swept over the water, and an area of about one acre was quickly converted into a huge hole, from which a continuous, roaring and rambling noise pro- seeds. Within the bend of the river and for one- eighth of a mile along the stream great rents are seen in the earth and river bod. Yt the bead of the river, which is 3f limestone, is a fracture a quarter of a mile in length and stones the siza of a house have been hurled from their places. The graveyard was shaken up, the skeletons of the dead being distinctly seen in the fractures of tha earth. Gas flows freely from the entire surface of the ten acres. Stones were thrown two miles. The whole county was shaken un, and the excitement is tremendous. There is no gas well within two miles of the place, and no wells have been sunk near the creek. The water is propelled fiercely by the gas, causing living geysers to shoot up. Large numbers are going from tha city to see the strange sight. Whan tha ex- S losion occurred rocks and trees were thrown 00 feet high. The flame was seen for two ind a half miles at first. The gas is now burning for a half a mile along the creek. • PABADE OP THE G. A. B. ■' ■■■ • The President Reviews 40,000 Vetei*» a ns in Boston, Mass. The parade of the Grand Army of the Re public, in Boston, was the grandest demon stration in the history of the order, and one of the greatest demonstrations that city ever saw. Counting in the 150 bamls and drum corps, there were fully 49,00p men in line. The moving of this great body of men through the streets was accomplished with creditable celerity. The hour of beginning the march was appointed by Comiuander-in- Ihief Alger for half-past ton, but he did not so- fit to order the movement until an hour latr. Then, however, the march was expe- ditius, the only delay at any point being a triflag one caused by a fire on V* ashington stree near Hollis, it required two hours and twelve minutes for the head of the col umn £ reach the reviewing stand at the head <T the line, and it was 0 o’clock before the Sots of Veterans, who were to bring up the rear left their place of formation, on Marlbormgh street. Tho march was not over untl 7:30. The ceitre of attraction was the grand stand ihUopley square, from which Presi dent larrison reviewed the parade. This staid had a seating capacity for more thai three thousand persons, and when the lead of the column came into view there was bit little vacant space. The large area surrouiding the square afforded oppor tunity for tVousands of persons to see the President, General Sherman and other dis tinguished visitors. Among those on this stand beside the Pres ident and General Sherman, both of whom wore their G. A. R. badges, were Vice- President Morton, Secretaries Tracy, Proctor, Noble and Rusk. Sickles, General Greely, General General John C. Robinson, the forme: manderof the First corps, who losl leg at Fredericksburg: General Charles Devens, Governors Brackett, of Mas sachusetts; Burleigh, of Maine; Davis, of Rhode Island, and Diliinghara, of Vermont; Admirals Gherardi and Kimberley,Congress men Boutelle and Lodge, Mrs. John A. Lo gan, Mrs. Alger, Mrs. McKee and Mile. Nor- dica. * , . . There was a total suspension of business throfighout the city on th«3 part of dealers in everything except food and drink. Forty-three departments were represented in the line, all arranged in the order of seniority, except that the Massachusetts men, being the receiving body, took the left. The naval organizations, with about 4000 old tars marching, and the Son> of Veter ans formed interesting features of the proces sion . One hundred thousand strangers were be lieved to have been in Boston. Excursionists came pouring in all tho morning, and the streets were crowded from ac early hour. TWENTY-SIX PEBISHED. A Buildinic Wrecked in Germany Willi Terrible Loss of Life. During a very heavy storm that prevailed at Crefeld, Germany, a house containing fifty inhabitants fell to the ground. Thirteen persons who were in the house were instantly killed* Their bodies have been taken from the ruins. Twenty others, more or lass injured were rescued, while twelve are still buried in the wreck. Efforts are being made to extricate those who are in the ruins, cries for help from some of whom are audible to the rescu ing party. All who 1 were buried in the ruins are now accounted for. Threa men, six women and seventeen children were killed. Philadel.. .58 37 Boston....60 36 Cincin’ati..57 37 !Pittsburg..20 73 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Perl Won.Lost. ct.

Fire Commissioner Richard A. Tobin, of Boston, was chosen Senior Vice-Com- mander-in-Chief, and First Sergeant George B. Creamer, of Baltimore, h the new Junior Vice-Commander- in-Chief. These votes were unani mous. After electing these three officers and selecting Detroit as the headquarters of the next encampment, the veterans adjourned and plunged into a whirl of sightseeing and goodfellowship. Colonel Veazjy is one of tha Inter-State Commissioners. He is a native of New Hampshire, and has just passed his fiftieth year. He was graduated from Dartmouth College with honor, and is one of its present Board of Trustees.
