An Unusual Explosion.
Grand Island was the scene of an
explosion yesterday, the like of
which we do not remember to have
heard. A telegram from that city
says:
About 7 o'clock this morning
quite an explosion occurred near
the U. P. shops, it being the burst
ing of the steam dome of engine
aGo, attached to the wrecking train
and about ready to leave. The
crown of the dome was blown off,
together with the whistle, safety
valve, etc., and thrown about Mtio
feet. The cab was badly damaged.
No one was hurt, but it was a close
call for the hostler, Mr. Klinger.
The cause is unknown but it is sup
posed that the safetjr valve was out
of order.

M A T.ste of fi Cyclone.
At about 4 o. clock this morning
when our citizens were mostly snor
ing, a young cyclone struck thi city
swooping down on P street just
east of the tracks. It proceeded
eastward veering to the south at
the corner of the Lincoin hotel,
sweeping across the Government
square, narrowly missing the post
office building. Crossing Tenth
street it stuck fairly the building of
the Hub Clothing "Co., 101-lOG No.
Tenth street. The doors were blown
in clothing was whipped through
the air as though they were bits of
paper, the wind passing out through
the skylight near the rear of the
store. No great damage was done
except to whip off price tickets and
tumble things up worse than a
chop house egg scramble. It was
a great freak. Lincoln Call.

At the law school commencement
exercises of the Columbia College
at Washington a few days ago, ex
senator Henderson was the orator
of the day and among other good
things remarked the following.
"When I see the thriftyr farmer
leaning upon the government in
stead of upon the plow for support
and a workman wasting his time
organizing labor unions against
capital, because it is not his own.
and complaining that the world is
unkind, the words ot Cassius come
vividly to my recollection: 'The
fault; dear Brutus, is not in our
stars but in ourselves thus we are
underlings.' "
Mr. Henderson spoke contemptu
ously of the parliament of Fmgland
from which lawyers were by law or
public opinion excluded and said:
As history continues to repeat it
self, some new party in America
may give us a congress of the same
sort. If so it is at least fortunate
that centuries intervene between
such acts of folly."
