Three men are kuown to have been killed, one fatally injurctl uml a numher of persona badly truied and shaken tip early this morning by n explosion of inealdust which com pletely wrecked the a three story brick building n North I Tainted street, occu pied by David Oliver as an oatmeal mill. Si eral adjoining buildings were also shattered. The explosion occurred shortly after 2 o'clock and was terrific, shaking buildings a mile away. Buildings in the immediate vicinity were bombarded with Hying bricks and stones, and nearly every pane of glass within a radius of six bltKkswas smashed. Almost before the rumble of the explosion had died away flames sprang from the wrecked mill and the whole place was ablaze in a few min utes. The fire spread with incredible rapidity, and when the first fire compan ies reached the scene they found a block of roaring flames to contend with. En gines were stationed at every available point around the blazing patch, and buildings th it did not take fire at the on Th.

SparkH that were carried by the wind ignited buildings two blocks away, and for half an hour the firemeu had all they could do to prevent half a do Kin serious con flagrations. In two hours the flames were controlled. Persons who were asleep in buildings adjacent to the wrecked mill were thrown clear out of their beds by the force of the explosion. The loss will aggregate $150,000. The proprietor and manager of the mill were on the ground early this morn ing, but have been unable to learn posi tively the cause of the explosion. Each thinks that oat meal dust may have caused it, but the terrific force is unpre cedented if this theory be accepted. No other reasonable explanation is offered, however, and an explosion of dust is ac cepted until a better reason can be found. The boilers have been uncovered and are intact, which disposes of the theory that they had txploded. The police say there is no eyidencc of the use of dyn amite. John Holmes was found lying in an alley across the street, and will die. No trace could be found of the other three men Charles Miller, Charles Coop er and John Smith and it is believed their bodies are buried in the debris. THE ELECTRIC AO K. Prof. Elisha Gray remarks that elec trical science has made a greater advance in the last twenty years than in all the 0,000 historic years preceding. More is discovered in one day now than in a thousand years of the middle ages. We find all sorts of work for electricity to do. We make it carry our messages, drive our engine, ring our door bell, and scare the burglar; we take it as a medi cine, light our gas with it, see by it, hear from it, talk with it, and now we are beuinnins: to teach it to write. Hayti has illegally seized one of our merchant ships. Canada has illegally seized about 200. Hayti is a poor little waif of a country. Canada is a great empire with the greatest of empires be hind her. Four American men-o'-war are going down to Hayti to blow her up or do something similarly dreadful. But as to Canada nnd the empire behind her we arc not going to be so vicious. This is an Administration which looks before it leaps, and if the leap looks bact it doesn't take it. But if there is nothing to leap over, why, then, it makes a brave, old, resolute dash. N. Y. Trib. lb 15 cents 25 cents 35 cents 75 cents 40 cents 15 cents buys buys buys buys buys for a N.
