SAN FKAXCISCO , July 11. Explosions occurred at the Giant and Judson powder works near Berkeley shortly after 9 o'clock this morning , destroy ing1 those works and much property for several miles around. Five shocks were felt in this city within a lew minutes , the last four being1 of terrific force , shaking buildings , crack ing1 a number of walls and breaking plate glass in buildings eight blocks up from the water front The Giant powder works were com pletely destroyed. One hundred and eighty men , chiefly Chinese , were employed there , and it is thought nearly all were killed. Among tne white men known to have been killed are : Wallace Dickinson , Charles Can- bury and John l ow. i ' The body of a Chinaman was found on the railroad track half a mile from j the works. The remains of a boy I frightfully mangled were found near the scene. Every window in the county jail at Oakland was broken , as were all the windows of residences in the town of West Berkeley , and several residences were destroyed. FIRST KANSAS DEMOCRATS. lid Carroll of Lcavcnirorth Xomlnated for Congress on the First Ballot. HOI/TON , Kan. , July 11. The Demo cratic congressional convention of the First Kansas district was called ti order at noon. After temporary organization had been effected by the election of Clyde McMaingal of llorton as chairman and C. J. Conlfn of Atchison as secretary , the temporary organization was made permanant , but the close fight between Solomon and Carroll in th - credentials committee over the Doniphan county delegation prevented rushing1 work. The county central committee of Don iphan county selected the delegates and the Solomon forces insisted that Robert Gilham be left off and James Burke substituted. The fight over this was a test of the positive strength of the two candidates and the Carroll men won 25 to 21. The resolutions submitted to the convention and adopted were brief and after indorsing the action of the na tional convention contained these declarations of principle : We demand the free and unlimited coin age of both gold and silver at the present rate of 16 to 1. We also demand that the national bank currency be submitted by a national currency 'issued by the general government in sufficient amount to cover the legitimate demands of the people and be made a full legal tender for all debts , public and private. Resolved , That we extend sincere sym pathy to the laboring classes of this coun try in their struggle against the grinding influence of monopoly. Resolved , That as new conditions arise new laws must be made to meet them , but the cardinal principles of tbe Democratic party should never be forgotten , that this should be a government by the people and for the people. The platform made a mention of the recent state convention , but H. H. Hogan of Pottawatomie county , who placed Carroll in nomination , said he hailed from the solidest Democratic town in Kansas and the people of St. Marys had demanded that one Demo crat be given a place , because they were sore over the result at Topeka. Ed Horton of Atchison placed H. C. Solomon of Atchison in nomination. Carroll was nominated on the first ballot , receiving 35 votes to 34 for Sol omon. Carroll's nomination was made ' unanimous and the convention pro- 'ceeded at once to the election of a cen tral committee. PATTISON DENOUNCED. The Xew York < Sun" Scores the Pennsyl vania Governor. NEW YORK , July 11. The Sun , com menting editorially on the present sit uation of affairs at Homestead , says : "Let every man look at Pennsylvania. There is nothing- now to prevent the strikers at Homestead from open ing the great Carnegie plant on their own account. "They are in full possession of the property ; they hold their title from the governor of Pennsylvania , and it only remains for them to capture Carnegie and his part ners and force them to work as slaves in managing the business. Law and order are no more and the con stitution is spit upon by the executive of Pennsylvania and , as if it were not enough that this black and bloody record of murder and robbery has been achieved on the banks of the Monongahela there must arise an in conceivable crank in Washington to bring derision and shame upon the constitution and history of the United States on the very floor of the senate. "It behooves every man to know that these are ser ious times and that the safeguards of our liberties are in peril when a prof ligate and vicious press is inciting to murder and to riot and an emasculate and - cowardlyexecutive is. false to every idea and principle of duty ! " j A French Consul Arrested In Germany. LEIPBIC , July 11. At 4 o'clock Wednesday morning the proprietor of the Cafe Bau6r called the police to his place-to quell a fight which followed a dispute caused by a trifling remark utterecf by the Trench consul , M.

Hannah was appalled , and with a i sinking hoari recalled many of her | j ' faher1 ! s evil deeds , and this was no i doubt the penalty. After much per suasion Dinah accompanied the watch man up stairs , and they gathered up Rhodes' clothing and Burns left Hannah was almost beside herself with mortification at the talk that followed Rhodes1 misfortune and re- sohod to consult Friends Coats and Grimes her father's executors. They came in the eveni'ig and partook of i [ an excellent suppor. and then as was j the custom , the Madeira was set/m ' the table.

With a howl Jeff vanished. "Dinah , will thee go ? " Oh. I.ordy. deed. deed. 1 can't If I see dat old man. 1 go die : sure dat. mind. " Hannah shut the door and said faintly : "Our servants are such cowards. " "Never mind , never mind " said Grimes "T will go myself. " and ho made a grab at the light The cellar looked gruesome and very dark but Grimes put the light on a barrel and found the demijohn as directed. Ho tried a gill. "Hem ! Very fine ! Better than old Morris' . Then another sup was taken and Brother Grimes felt happy. { "Ah ! what frail mortals we are. and .

" "Brother Grimes , this is unseemly , nay. indecent And then for the first and last time in his life Brother Grimes spoke the language of worldly people. Thee be damned. " and vanished , with brother Coats a good second. Hannah was stricken dumb ; by to morrow the thing would be the town talk and so she went to bed. When breakfast was ready Dinah was sent to call Leah and came back looking queerly. -Miss Hannah she ain't there the i bed ain't been slep' in. " Just then Jeff came in with a note left at the gate , missis. " God forgive us. " cried Hannah. "Leah has run away with young Fin- ley and has married out of meeting. " and Hannah hardened her heart l ext day the wagons came and every- thine was moved into a house in Dillwyn street and the old place left to the ghost and rats. It made a difference to some people , especially to Paddy Carr. and his wife congrat ulated him on his being sober for three days in succession. Finally , through Mrs. Carr's gos sip , the truth came out Paddy's cel lar joined Bond's and there was a long disused door that he had forced open , and this was his bonanza. A flight of stairs gave him access to the house and he secured a suit of the old Quaker's clothes. The rest was easy , and the only detection was through his wife , who kept quiet through fear of consequences for taking the liquor. Leah was rich and Harry was worthy , and they were very happy , and inside of a year Hannah was reconciled to her sister. The popular belief was that Paddy Carr was a liar and the ghost a genu ine character and remnant of the old Quaker Tory. Philadelphia Times. Limitation * of Dcarnens. . Sound travels by waves radiating from a central point of disturbance , just as waves radiate when a stone is dropped into still water. So far as the hearing of each individual is con cerned these waves move in a direct line from the cause of the sound to his ear. the impact being the greater in the ear nearest the source. This being the case , a person who has totally - tally lost the sense of hearing in one j ear although he may imagine that , the defect is of little consequence , cannot locate the direction of a sound to save his life , even when the center of disturbance is quite near.
