In 'act , an earthquake could not have created such terrifio and wholesale do- itruction. The roof of thu round louse was entirely gone and its whole eastern wall and the foundations neat- ercd to thu four winds. The earth lug from the cavernous hole was hrown over much of the debris , nd formed liii''b mounds on all sides. riio fragments of the exploded cars vero thrown over a radius of n ( pur er of n milo.

As the violent ahock came t number of persons near the oiub of : hu plalfonua wore thrown from thuir 'cut , nnd the earth perceptibly tretn- jled. Nearly all ot the eastern win- ioivs und so mo of the western , in the Transfer hotel wcro shakeii out , the irngmenla of the hm fulling among the crowd on the platform , Womou screamed , men turned pale , and for an instant every ono was transfixed with fright. Then in the oablern distance leaned up ihinea and black smoke which fairly darkened the sky. Among the crowd who ItUHUKl * TO\VABI > THE SCENB was a reporter of Tar ] 5ii : : , and he was soon on the spot. A few persons only' were there , but soon hundreds caiiin. running from all directions. For nn hundred yards about Iho place it was almost impossible to trawl , for the brick , timber , iron , pieces and fragments , of cars. Four cars were burning violently , and close by was another loaded with coal oil , which WUB momentarily cxpnctod to go up in an explosion or Ihimca. Till !

When the wind lifted , the demolished [ > ilo of brick whioh etoocl in the placa jf the apparently indcstriictiblo struo- kuro noon ton minutes before could liurdly bo roeogni/ed. Kiiginea , dis mounted and generally destroyed , were l > ing under the mass of 'crushed ttm- bora mid iron supports of the roof nnd buried in the brick and mortar from the walls. Thu uflioialH ol thu Hock Island road arrived with two or three switch engines , but it was impossible to approach near enough to the wreck to do moro than draw oul cars standing in the vicinity , TUB UllOWD TUJINKO IN and hundreds of willing hands liolpm to push Biich of the wrecked coauhea ii3 could bo moved out of the roach o , the lUmes , which now throw out i btifling liuat. TJio warning cry was hoard at thia nioiiiont ; "Look out foi the walln ! " Men jumped , nomoainto the ditchcB , uonm iiitu thu water , am nu.no too soon , for ap.irt , of the mirth ornall of thu round liouao , whicl wtta trembling und ahaking , came dowt with a crash. The litat inquiry , uHc/ the first panic passed , was / IS ANY ONB KILLED ? Itiortunately proved that no been under the fulling wall , 'inuu it was tisked , "Wus anyone hcd by thooxplosi'in ? " Nnhody coiiM answer that question , but pruaeinv n man came running from /umolishcd housu Homo throu hundrc/J'ftr'8 ] west nnd said that u man uml/'Ulo girl had been pulled from the ruins , Under n portion of the ruined liouso the two injured pcoplo were found lyinc on improvised cot a.

As thu crowd were gathering nroutul the BtiirbrorB n WAIL WAH HKAIlll from n woman who ciunu hurriedly through tlio tnll grnss nnd weeds , her hair nil disheveled. "My babies nro killed , " she cried ni she stopped nt the ruins of n house rtill nearer the sccno of the explosion. The hotiBOj which was occupied by ,1.

Willing hands nt once commenced to overhaul the ruins when thn "babies" , cntnc run ning from the tnll gr.m near the stream below. The little things , n boy nnd girl , had been frightened BO by the terrible shock that they had run into the grass nnd hidden like partridges , not dnrinc ; to show thorn- nelves until they heard their mother's voice.

The front windows , were entirely' shattered out , the bar tipsct , nnd general destruction - struction indicted within. TWO OTUBK BUILD1NO3 , both dwellings , nearly a quarter of a milo south of the explosion , wcro shattered and wrecked nnd everything insido-destroyed. All of the buildings south of the round house , in the di rection of the wind , had their roofs loDsunod nnd windows Bhattcrod out. Ai sdbn ns the nlarm could bo sent to Ojuncil Bluffa proper the Kescuo Fire company nnd n steamer came KUHIIINd TO THK KCKNK. A stream wns soon put on the ( lames , whioh partly aubduod them und protected the surrounding car trucka Irom burning. While they were valiantly working , the coal oil cnr next to\ho burning wreck caught firo. The Ignition was ao quick that nobody could civo nn nlarm nnd nlmost in nn instant UP HUE WENt , high in the nir , with n'fierco hurst of lliuno that seemed to 'touch the sky , nnd n black cloud of smoko. The tire boys nnd hundreds of others nboia the spot flattened themselves , with a common impulse , and no ono was burned , although a number wcro aingod by the fierce firo. All crnwlod away ns best they could , So intense wns the heat that it was some time before tlio steamer could again bo brought into eli'ectivo scrvicu. UNDEK THE KCINS. It was reported thnt nn engineer , firomnu nnd wiper were in the round house when the blow-up took plnco , Their names could not bo ascertained nt six o'clock in the evening , nor could it b } definitely determined whether nny one wns in the crushed building. It may bo devoutly hoped thcro waa'not. WHEUE 1H THK OWNEU ? While climbing ever the mounds of dirb , nnd rubbish , which had been jiiled up on either side of thoimmonso liolo dug by the powerful explosion , THE 15i5i : reporter found the frag ments of n Masonic ritual , in manu script , which appeared to the uniniti ated as belonging to the order of the Knights Tomplara. How it came on top of the fresh upheaved debris , whether the owner had thrown it nuny , ns ho ran from the scene , or whether it wns torn from his pocket und ho buried beyond sight , tire questions which only the excavation of the ruins can dotormino. j.v COUNCIL No sooner had the rerviccs been concluded at the par ) ; in Council Jllull'i than the whole city was Hhaken from center to circumference.

THE t'AUSE The cause of ( ho explosive is not , at present writing , clearly known. One of tlio Union Pacific olliciala afatcd that two c.irs of dynamite , la- bled giant powder , were shipped to their yard on the Omaha nido of the river , for western transportation ; that the U. P. company refused to re ceive the cars and liatf rotransforrcd one to the Rock Island j'ard , intend ing to send the other over last night It was reported at thu scone of the wreck thai an oil car attached to the dynamite cnr caught fire from a passing uiiynin ; ( hat efforts were made to detach it from the explosive car about fifteen minutes before the explosion - plosion took place. These efforts being - ing unsuccessful , the employes in the vicinity made themselves scarce , nnd the outward bound trains which ran near the threatening car were warned to delay until it was scon what would happen. It is mipposcd that the iron part of the burning oil car full against the dynamite car and Ihc explosion then ensued.

SeptllHf ON THE OTHER SIDE , How Tbingu in Australia Look to an American. Mr. D.V , Hitchcock , the popular and widely known railroad Irnvolini , ngent , who nrrirncl in Omaha in 1858 , nnd for many yn.irs was n resident of the Gateway City , returned on Satur day from nn extended trip to Austra lia. Mr. Hitchcock sailed in April last from S.m Francisco und arrived in Sidney May 7. The purpose - pose of his trip was to advertise the American route to Europe , es pecially the Pacific Mail steamship company , the Central , Southern and Union Pacific , nnd the Atehisnn , To- pekn it Santa Fo railroads. Thu eastern - ern lines which are operated in oppo sition to the American routes are two running from Sidney and Melbourne , via tho'SuoK Canal nnd Red sea. Mr. Hitchcock's business therefore took him overn largo part of the continent island. He made Sidney his head quarters. Sidney ho found to bo a city of about 250,000 inhabitants , alargo per centage of whom nro Americans. All are in business nnd seemingly prosper ous. Melbourne is about the same size ns Sidney , und is laid out more as an American city. The streets nro unusually wide and straightbeing ono hundred feet from curb to curb. The buildings in both cities are vjry good and put up to stay. It peoms almost ns if the people who erected them expected an earthquake to lake nwny the island and leave the buildings standini ; . The government buildings uru ns fine as nnywhoro in the wprld Hotela there nro in abun dance , nnd although not aa largo as those in America , they nro scrupu lously neat slid well kept. As n people Mr. Hitchcock consid ers the Australians the most hospit able he over met. They have an espe cial fondness for Americans , and ad mire American enterprise. On many of the railroads , all of which are operated by the government , Ameri can locomotives are being used and coaches similar to the Pullmans have been adopted. The telegraph lines , and street car lines in Uio cities , are also owned nnd operated by the gov ernment. In each the interests of the public nro paramount to > every ether consideration. By the reverse pf seasons May is the beginning of winter. On the naoun- tains there is considerable snow , bub in Sidney the weather" much rtsom- iilca that of Los Angelas , Cal. The news of the president's assassi nation was received in Sidney , July 4th. All of the Americans were horror-atricken , and for the day , until further MOWS of Gai field's itill being alive was re ceived , the flags on American build ings were at half-mast and mourninc. ' emblems profusely displayed. Mr. Hitchcock heard of Mr. Dvwey , of this city , in Sidney , but was two or three weeks behind hinu The mission on which Mr. Hitchcock went was very successful. The American line is rapidly growing in popularity , and a largo influx of Australian tour ists next season is looked for. FARMERS AND MECHANICS. If you wish to avoid great danger and trouble , besides n no small bill of expense , at this season of the year , you should take prompt steps to keep disease from your household.
