Horrors of tke Indianapolis Disasterf
The mails bring the details of
tlie terrible effetJta of the explosion,
of a boiler in tye jpida? of a crowd
of men, women and; children, .at
the Stdtb Fair fit Indianapolis, Indiana,
on Friday of last week. It
seems to be establisheJ that tho
canse of tbe explosion was that
thero waa but little W#tit in t,he
boiler and the fines were greatly
heated. Tbe scenes tbat followed
tbe explosion were terrible. Where
the engine stood there was no perceptible
trace except an area of
pmoked blackened ground. Tbe
IndiavapoUa Jour mil says:
To attempt to pen a p'cture of
tbe scene were folly. Imagine
lb,000 people, pallid with fear,
rntbing ana crashing to and fro,
impelled by a nameless something
towft-d an indefinable object. Men
bearing dead and wounded into the

the killed ; strong men oonvnlsed
and in tears because temporarily
separated from their wives and
children, and in suspense as tr
their Mfety. A large piece of the
boiler, whifeh rrftret fravo weighed
600 pennd*. was carried to a distance
of 100 jards. One smaller
piece was thrown clear into the
time track, and skipping over it
buried itself in ^the sod beyond.
Another large piece wis thrown
westward, dear over the dyke upon
the cattle pen. In almost eve
ry direction smal'-er pieces of th?
machinery Were thrown, and the
air was literally full of splinters
bolts, screws, nuts, pieces of rods
and such of the lighter portions o1
the engine. Innumerable are the

by the merest shred oi flerh. At
one place was the headier trunk
of a man : at another was the leg
of a woman, with hef boot and
stocking and a part of her drawers
6till upon it;*the arm of a man
was driven into a popla1 board ;
while not far from Power Hall was
seen the body of a inau so horri
bly mutilated that hfs heart, stomach,
liver and lank* could readily
be seen. Wlidft first discovered,
bis heart was still palpitating, and
the motion oi the organ was plainly
observod.
In the AgrFSHtturdf. Hall were
lying folVf bodies, a jumbled, al
most unrecognizable mass of charred,
roasted and scalded humanity.
Mr. John E. Foudary, with a
friend, was sitting in a carriage on
tho East side of Power Hall. They
both saw a piecoofthe boiler coming
toward them, when Mr. Foudary's,friend
pushed him aside, and

pimucaire. a mother and three
children were standing in a group
near the boiler.' The mother was
instantly killed, and two of the
children badly scaldod. The
third dftaped uninjured. A gentlomaq
and lady were walking by
with locked arms. The gedtfowftti
was killed and the lady uninjured.
Quite a number of persons were
thrown to the ground with considerable
force, inany of whom were
picked up in an insensible condition.
A baby wagon was struck
by a piece of the flying iron, and
the wagon utterly demolished, but
the child in it left unhurt.
A piece of tbe boiler was'blown
into the cattle shed 200 yards,
where it passed through tbe root
and knocked the tipe o> the horns
of the mammoth ox, but doing him
no other injury.
Mr. ?. A. Vinton and bis daughter
were fitting in a buggy about
fifty yards away, looking at the
running of the mills, when a piece
of the boiler struck the horse, killing
him instantly, and upsetting
the buggy, throwing both of the
ocoupauts out, hut doing them no
serious harm';
A piece of a man's heed, sin wi
H g a part of (tie forehead, the n??e
and left aide of ^he f uye, the hair
; and whiskqre ysry black, slightly*
tinged with grey; was found near
the Executive office.
One of P. L. Davie* arm#
blown over 100 yards from the
place where he tell dead. Hie
body was otherwise terribly mutilated.
In a Inmber pile, near the place
where the boiler stood, were found
some of the remains of a man liter
ally wadded into the instertices between
thq planks. One woman,
inquiring for her husband, asked
one of the reporters if his name
was npon the list of killed. It was,
but the man coijd not summon the
courage to tell the poor bereaved
wife, and he put her off with an
evasion.
At the undertaker's, the scene
! was terrible. In the beck yard
and rear shops, npon rude planks
and benches, were stretched the
I dead. The mutilations were fear,
fnl, and cannot fitly be described.
I Blackened and begrimed, dnsty
t and bloody, with protruding eye(
balls, lolling tongues and clenched
j bands, tlie dfe'ad lay, silent but fearful
witnesses*, calling for a prompt,
n thorough and fearless investigation
of the disaster of which they are
the fearful relics.
Tit* other evening, in our 44 pri.
vnte crib," there was a learned
dissertation?snbiect, "Bed-bugs,
> and their remarkable tenacity of
i life." One asserted ot his own
( knowledge that they could be
, boiled and coine to liie. Some had
I soaked them for hours in turpen5
tine, without any fatal consci
quence. Old Hanks, who had
( been listening ni an outsider, here
! gave in his experience in corroboration
of the facts. Says he?
. "Some years ago, I took a bed ,
bug to an iron foundry, and drop
, ping it into a la- le whero the
melted iron was, had it run into a
skillet. Well, mj 'old woman
need that tsThllet pretty constant
for the last six years, and here the
other day she hruko it all to
smashes; and what do yon think,
gentlemen?that ere insect just
walked out of his hole, where he'd
been layin' liko a frog in a rock,
and mado tracks tor his old roost
upstairs. Uut," added he, by way
of parenthesis, " by George, gentlemen,
ho looked mighty pale."
Impo tant Conversion to Cath
oi.icism.?We learn on authority
which we are forced to regard as
unquestionable that the Rev. James
Kent ?tone, D. D., late President
of Hobart College (Episcopalian,)
at Geneva, N. "i ., has unqualifiedly
declared his renunciation of the
tenets of the Protestant Episcopal
.Church and his conversion to Catholicism.
The announcement will 1
occasion no little surprise amonp
those of the Doctor's friends, who
know how zealous he has labored
in the cause with which he has so
long been identified. Dr. Stone is
a man of great ability, an eloquent
speaker and profound tftinker.-^
lie is a grandson of Chancellor

( accepted the presidency of Ilobart .
College something over a year
ago. He resigned in July last and
