At about half past thrco o'clock yeslor day afternoon the pcoplo ot this city and Council Bluffs wore startled by n terrible explosion , which n great many mistook for a sot era shock of mi earthquake. People- sitting in some of the most sub atantial brick building1 * in the city wora nearly astounded by the severity of the shod ; , which caused the windows to rat tle , nnd in South Omaha jarred the houses to such an extent that in some iiutinces their occupants ran out ot them through fear. The noise nnd rum bling had scarcely subsided when nn alarm of fire was turned in from box sixteen , near Sixth and Pacific streets. A rumor was afloat that the boiler in Boyd's packing house had blown up and the building had caught on fire , and some said that a terrific explosion had taken place in the fertilizing works far tlior down the river and the building * in connection therewith were burning. The department wcro nimble to find the fire , and returned to their houses. A few momenta afterward n telephone message was sent up from Boyd's packing house to the coroner , stating that Stoclo it Johnson's powder mngarino in South Omaha had blown up and onu man was killed , and requesting Mr. Kent tocoino down and hold an inquest. A BKK reporter immediately proceed cd to the sceneof the accident , which men who have lived in Omaha since its beginning say is the most horrible ono in the annals of the city. The scene presented was ono which beggars description , and which , in horribloncss , the imagination cannot do pict. The magazine was situated in i dense wood of second growth hickory , nearly a milo south and a half milo east of the U. F. depot , on the bank of small ravine , nnd in that place four boys , Chris. Madson , William Abnoy , William Mallua and Jack Stitts , scarcely young men , were called yesterday afternoon , without n moments warning , into the presence of their Maker. Lowia Heller , who HVOB about four blocks distant , was 110 first ono to witness the scene of the accident , and in a short time a crowd of people numbering hundreds had arrived. Long before the site of the powder bouse , or its remains , could bo seen the work of destruction was manifest. The tops of trees were torn elF and their branches-woro torn from their trunks Everything presented a picture of the terrible olloct of seine powerful element , but the sight scon within that coppice will never fade from the memory of anyone ono who witnessed it. The explosion by its terrible force had leveled the trees to the ground for the space of throe or four rpd in ovary direction from the maga zine , and in this little space lay the scat- tared and partial remains of these four boys. An arm Il9re , a log there , ami in no place WuM the entire- remains of ono body bo found At a distance of nearly two bl"cks was found the headless trunk of young Mad- ion , with nearly every bone in his body broken , and recognisable only by the shreds of clothing which1 lay close by. On the banks of the ravine opposite the lewder house was an unrecognizable ness of human ilosh and bones. Three or 'our tiny hands , all powder burnt , a bono of the log , from which nearly nil the lesh was torn , a couple of small feet stripped of both shoos and stocking. At , ho foot of tree a near the mngnzino a oouplo of foot were found which were x > rn from the legs at the ankles , and all ; hat could bo found of the body. The imbs and branches of the trees were scattered over with shreds of clothing , pieces of human Ilosh and powder cans , uon Immediately sot to work gathering up the scattered remain ! , and in a short time they were collected into thrco little licaps. Thoao four unfortunate hoys left their liotnes at ubout 1 o'clock yesterday after noon to go rabbit hunting. An hour erse so before the accident they were neon about a half milo up the river by BOHVJ men who were shoveling sand , nnd later were soon threading the wcoJs in search of game. Tlioy had two shot-guns or rifles , and several reports were heard in the neighborhood a short lima before the flxplosion. The ciuao of the explosion is shrouded in my a tory , as no hu man being was loft to toll the tale. How it was * brought will bo forever un told. Many conjectures and theories Imvo boon started , but the ono most plausible and reasonable seems to bo that they had chased game or Bomo kind into the ground , which under'tho powder house waa full of holes and burrows , and having kindled a ilro for the purpose of smoking it out a spark or flame had brought about the terrible catastrophe. Some have the theory that a shot was fired into the house , but this is believed by a few only. The parents of all those boys live in the city and are ull neigh- bora residing on Fierce between Fourth and Sixth streets. That part of the city waa suddenly changed into mourning when the terrible fate of their sous were told the fond fathers nnd mothers. The fathers of these boys all have families and live within two blocks of ono another , und the sobs mid waitings of the mothers for the loss of their sons were hoard for blocks distant. Ohrii. Madson wan nearly seventeen years old. His parents rotide on Sixth and Pierce , his father keeping a saloon at that place , William Abnoy was nearly seventeen. His pa- routs reside on Fourth and Pierce and his father is employed as engineer al Ilor's distillery.Villiain Mallus was twelve. His parents reside at Fifth and Pierce. Jack Stilts was only ton. His parents reside at Sixth nnd Pierce. His father is a carpenter by trade and only a couple of years nj o was paralyzed from the cifests of a kmfo atab given by liis brother , The magazine was a Inlck structure , fifteen foot wide by eighteen foot long , with ton foot posts , and at the time oi the explosion contained three hundred cans of powder , of twenty-five pound each , making in all eovon thousand live Liimlrcd poundu , The terrific explosion of this great mass scarcely left a brick to lull of what the building liad been con utructod or where the building had been , almost the only thing remaining of it being the terrible destruction to mo and property. After the coroner had arrived , the BBS scattered remains of the four bodies , eras as much of them M could bo found , were gathered together and placid in two jlnnkotn and taken to the undertaking rooms of Drexel & Mnul. Coroner Kent summoned i\ jury on the spot , who wcro sworn in thera and investigated the matter na much as was possible Quito n number of witnesses have been nuin- moncd to uivn their testimony at the inquest , to bo held in the coroner's oflico at 10 a. in. to-day , when nn attempt will bo made to investigate the circumstances which by human ken will novcrbo known nnd which htis brought greater sorrow into more families than any accident whichever over occurred in Omaha.

Ono of the St. Louis powers says "Gov ornor Crittondon , who has been accused often lately of never doing any wise thing has improved his reputation , according tea a story told by Patti to a reporter to-day. She was nt the time describing the favorable - able reception of her singing of "Homo , Sweet Hoaie. " She said : "Now , every ono seemed eo pleased when I sang 'Homo , Swcot Homo , ' that it made mo feel good to BOO them , Were they not pleased ) Such a funny thing happened in connection with that that I'll tell you. Your governor Critton don I think his name was yes , Governor Crittonden came to see mo after that night , and what do you think ho did ? Well , ho kissed mo. Ho said : "Mine. Patti , I may never BOO you again , and I cannot help it , ' nnd before I know it ho throw his arms around mo and was kissing mo. " The diva laughed heartily and merrily at the recollection of the incident. "Is that the privilege of governors ? ' ' asked the [ susceptible reporters. "Now it wouldn't do , you know , to have everybody washing my face , but a nice looking old gentleman I think ho was nice looking ; but the truth is. ho kissed mo so quisle I didn't have time to BOO.
