Mixed.
Among the largo and jolly ccowd
from Maryvillo , Mo. , vyho attended
the fioldicra reunion hero lust vrcok ,
wna the pofUninater of that place , John
O'Connor. He failed to return homo
with th < 5 othur Maryvillo raprcsontn-
tivui , nnd considerable nnxiety TV HE
felt there nn to his w hereabouts Tt
waa luarned that on Saturday last ho
started for the depot , but as ho did
not arrive homo , it wna conjectured
that ho must have gene elsewhere.
AH tiny after day passed nnd til cm
came no tidings of him , there nroso
stntngo whisperings to the ilFecf ; that ,
it v.-iiu not u cc.no of foul play , but of
"skip , " nn exHiiiinntiomviis madoof his
fiiiHticml matters , and the fucr wns
disclo&t-v1. Hint they wore in a b.ully
mixed condition. I3o had been pota-
mnater but fire month ; , but the books
allowed that he owed Uncle Sam $ U8L
lie had for years been largely inter
ested in ttio sale of agricultural ma
chinery , wan the agent for McCor-
mick's machine , the Maesiloi. , O. , f.io-
tory , and other heavy concerns , and
it wus ascertained that ho was behind
with these on largo amounts. Ho had
nlso got friends to endorse for him in
eomo cases us high as $2,000 , men who
will ba ublu to meet their nblimuiona ,
but it will crippio them badly if ( > rccci
to do BO , and who are greatly excited
over hm disappearance , ns ia in fact
thu whole community , where ho has
lived eo long and is HO well known. It
ia estimated that O'Connor ia about
$17,000 behind inu'J ' , and on Tuesday
there vroro atlachinonlaisauod amount
ing to $12,305 , with nioro to follow.
O'Connor has a wife and fourchildron ,
and hi.i diajppcar.itico together with
the allowing up of his financial con
dition has come llko thunderbolt ,
ot only upon them , but upon Ifm
lany friends nnd acquaintances.

The Monster Won Which la to Sup-
p'y Wilmington vitli Water.
l/o Antle ( ( TcKHin ( [
The Inrgeat well in Cjilifornii IB now
being dug nnd is rapidly ncnring com-
[ ilotion in Wilmington , in this county.
It is the cnttrpriso of General Phitio.-is
ll.inning , nno of the most onorgetio
citizaim of L-.a Angoh'S county , who
lias made thia well his hobby nnd prtilo
for several montha past. To intclli-
gunt'y dcccribo inch a mammoth-Sized
liolo would not bo difllcult. It it
twouty-fivo feet in diameter , mid has
now reached a level some lorty feel
hiilow thu Biitfaco of the onrth. In
llicinkriir of thia circular hole a
hupo wooden tank , hooped together
with iron bands and ench stave twelve
inches Mjuate , has been built. The
iiiiidu of this tank , which is bottom-
lias , is hooped with bnuda of railroad
iron , nnd formed so that the bottom
Ihris outward ntul is wider thitn thu
top. Aa the c.irth ia removed from
thu bottom of the well , thia mammoth
bottomless tub ) ono foot thick
Rinks downward , thus forming
n watpv-tinht wall. On top
of thin wooden structure n
brick wall is being built us the hole
becomes deeper. The brickwork Is
fantuncd to the circular wooden struo-
turo below by moaun of iron rods , no
that aa the woodwork sinks the brick
work is taken down with it. The
water ontora the well nt the bottom in
Inrgo volumoa , but it is kept almost
dry by the operation of n largo ntoain
pump , which runs night and day.
There is room for tuonty-fivo or thirty
men to work upon the bottom of thia
immense well. When it is completed
the witter will bo pumped inio i
gigantic lank , which , bainp olovntod
above the ground upon ucali'olding ,
will give nulliciont uravity to send
water in nny direction for miles.
With the completion of this well ,
Wilmington ana Sun Pedro will h vc
an assured supplied of water for all
time. Pipes are Inid to the wharf at
San Pedro , sj that vessels uin take
water with greater east ) mid without
trouble. The cost of this monster
will bo not less than eight or ten
thousand dollars.

The United SUH-a mint in this city
hua just received over two tons o :
threo-cent stiver pieces which by act
of congress havp buon nboliahed from
the national coiimgo. ' This is , however -
over , only about one-fifth of the quan
tity of theiu small coiuu which arc to
bo brought hero from the various aub-
treasuries in the country , thtro bar
ing already boon redeemed more than
tetx tons. Tiieno three-cent pieces now

trunnury duparnuent in redeeming tha
Hiuall coins 111 fust na possible , nntl in u
f w years they will entirely dis pioar ,
and only the nickels will bo i circula
tion. The coinu have lost * very con
siderable per cent of tftoir intrinsic

fact , they nro pidly wearing out.
This is on - roaaon why they were
abolished and the harder and more
convenient nickel substituted.
A Famous Koguo Elephant Shot.

Jlr. Albert G. R. Theobald , of the

B.\ooting the famous rotuo elephant of

Taluk. Mr. Theobald was twice
charged by the brute , which was a
liugo tuaker , mooauring eleven foot in

lacers iu terror for a very long time.
Thia elephant was , a for ; years hick
driven with twenty-four others into
the Kollegal koddah , ut Allnmbady ,
but ho resisted every effort to capture
him , and , being such a largo tusker ,
no paine wore vparod to secure him ,
though all wna in vain.
Out of tlio twenty-four elephants
captured with him , lie killed no lor *
than niuotecn , and finally broke
through the keddnh gate in ppito of
the eho'e iked at him and the fires
IcepL burning. After his escape ho ia

ANEW EXPLOSIVE.
Moro Poworlul
Thnn Dyimmlto.
Ill Fobrtury lant the pyrotechnic
Fstubliehmont belonging to Ptof.
Sxnniol Jackson , at Chester , was do-
atroyod and n number of lives loot.
Sitico that time the owner of the ill-
futed plnco has dovotud much time in
learning the truu cause of the explo
sion , Mill ho believes that at last ho
1ms solved the myatoty. In n
nmall building attached to the
factory proper were stored n number
of etura inudo of a material known na
blua light. It waa thia that dutonntod
with such terrific force an to demolish
the structure whcro they wore ntored.
Prof. Jackeon yesterday told u llecord
reporter the result of his recent dis
coveries , which ho claims will greatly
benefit acionco and uhow that i\ now
fotco hiu boou found for blasting pur-
posca which ho believes is won more
powerful than nitro-glycoiine and half
again of the power of dynnmito.
"I have boon making blue lire , such
an caused this trouble since 1851 , "
said the' professor , "and never know
it to explode , detonate or develop nny
extraordinary force until last Feb
ruary. Up till within a nhort time
ago I was ignorant of the real cause of
the disaster , but happening to read in
aii English paper of an explosion iu
Now Hunhnd which waa exactly sim
ilar , and there being an explanation
of the itubjcct , I set about to mnko
exporimentn. In company with my
counsel , Mr. Joseph L.

At the second the dotonatiou
occurred , Mr. liroomal turned tome

air C.iven'd uuRgoation the name
aiiiouut of powder wnu exploded under
oxHctly ciimlnr conditionn. but the
result woa mithing worth cponking 01.
A httln gunpowder was placed in thu
top of the can ot blue ( ire and it wna
exploded with about the samu rcnult
iu > the previous one had been. Fire
was placed to u can of blue fire and it
merely burned up.
"I repented these experiments al
ke Side park a few weeks ago and
ve a brief lecture , because I desired
thu public to learn of thin diVcavary ,
more uspcoially ns there waa no trial
of a CUBR against mu and no oppor
tunity nil'jrdod for ranking it public.
[ t has boon learned that conousaion
will cause a detonation of the blue
fire , and thia la more especially thu
case where the latter lian been nub-
cctcd to intense heat. Had the lira-
nen kept away from the small build-
ngs of Ohestoi- the chances are that
t would not have exploded. A daah
of water on the cnna containing
ho blue iiro would have converted
the water into hydrogen gas and thus
cuisod the concussion , especially as
-10 - " mans hi-.il Loon in a fuse atnto ,
ijused by thu burning ot the other
mihUng. A direct stream of water
would not posnibly huvo resulted in a
detonation. By the aid of a percusion
cap or thn concussion of a little pow
der the blue fire can bo exploded just
in readily , w ov or dry. It is safer
Jinn nitro gljccrino , because if it
falls to the ground there will bo no
explosion , O.io c.in atriko a mass of
it with a h'.innur ! nnd only that portion
tion directly etiuck will ddtonato , and
then only olighUy.
"At the Now Xoaland accident a
jhomist had prepared eomo blue ( lie ,
which ho found lud not been coirectly

Into the ynrd to dinlroy it. Ho nil
fire to it and left it for a moment.
