TWO OTUBK BUILD1NO3 ,

common impulse , and no ono was
burned , although a number wcro
aingod by the fierce firo. All crnwlod

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 ,

house when the blow-up took plnco ,
Their names could not bo ascertained

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.

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.

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

The news of the president's assassi

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
