Aid Cable Special to Tun BnB.l A terrible
catastrophe , the consequences of winch uro
yet incalculable , look place at Antwerp this
afternoon. At n quarter past 2 o'clock a
terrific explosion was heard , oven HO far as
Ghent. The wliolo town was stmkou and
Immediately nf tor wards It facomed us if a rain
of glass wns falling over the surrounding
country. There Is not n wliolo window In
Antwerp. The magnificent stained glass
windows of the cathedral were ulso destroyed.
The townspeople wcro panic-struck.
It was first supooscd that an earthquake
had taken place , but suddenly the sunwhich
was shining brightly , wns obscured by an
impenetrable cloud of dust , ringed oy a
great glare of fire. It was near port and
just behind the dry docks that the catas
trophe took place in the powder iimgiizitio
belonging to a Corvllaln merchant , who had
recently purchased -lU.OOJ.OOJ of old car
tridges , Intending to sell the powdor.
Ills work people , ovcra hundred In number ,
more than half of thorn being women , were
occupied in the task of opening
these cartridges when the explosion
took placo. To what it was duo
thcro Is very llttlo hope of discovery , for not
one of the Corvllmn's employes has yet boon
found alive. In fact , not a single corpse has
been found .vol. It was not only In the Cor-
villun factory that lives were lost. A largo
number of persons \voro also more or loss se
verely wounded by glus ? , und the roofs of
several houses fell in for u great distance all
around. The ground was strewn with 'cart
ridges und debris.
All was not over yet , hoivovor. A few
minutes after the explosion a vast sheet of
flame leaped up into the sky , and It was soon
that a petroleum warehouse not
fur from the magazine was
on lire. In the broad dayllgnt the blaze of
40,1X10 barrels of petroleum on flro was visible -
blo ut u distance of over 1)03 ) miles ut Lirus-
sols.

Then the Mixrson Hydrauliquo of Ant
werp , which furnishes motive power for all
trains and ether machines of the part , sud
denly gave way and became a heap of ruins.
Everywhere in the streets were wounded
persons , &cd at frequent intervals ono came
across parts of a human frame , such as legs
and. arms.
Tim petroleum mart Is still ablaze and tlio
heat is so groat'that it Is impossible to approach
preach within several hundred yards of the
conflagration.
The spectacle is terribly superb and thera
Is nothing In recent history that can bo com
pared to it MUVO the scene which Paris pre
sented during the1 last days of the commune
and the great Are In Chicago.
The lira has spread in all directions and
the city warehouses , in which from twenty
to twenty-five thousand barrels of petroleum
are stored , are on lire , as uro many of the
vessels in the docks. .
The Scheldt resembles a river of flro. The
wbolo garrison ana a largo part of the male
population of tbo town are aiding the flro-
mpn , but tliolr efforts are useless.
It is Impossible oven rougnly to estimate
the number of persons killed , but supposi
tion ranges from two hundred to four hun
dred , while there are certainly thousands
injured.
The latest information is that them nro ir > 0
half-burned corpses in the hospital.
The population is in n state of panic , for ,
though the tire nt present is confined to the
neighborhood of the port , it can hardly bo
prevented from spreading over the town
wo.ro the wind to turn to the north.
I With regard to material damages , it is
needless to say that they nro enormous.
F When the Corvillun sought permission to
erect his cartridge manufactory the city au
thorities opposed him with might and main.
The provoncial counsel , however , was less
far-seeing , and accorded the Corvltlan the
authorization ho usuod for.
The lire Is still raging. Many soldiers are
dropping from suffocation.
1 have ascertained tnut the disaster is
really the outcome of political bickering be
tween the town council and the provincial
council. The former is liberal njid the latter
clerical. The latter only granted permission
to the Corvohan to locate the powder factory
in such n dangerous position to annoy the
town council. This disclosure causes in
I to u BO Indignation. Explosions are constantly
occurring und ships are going farther back
in the Scheldt to avoid the flames.
1 The Icing has telegraphed an expression
of sorrow and a request for hourly Informa
tion.

The latest estimate Is that thcro nro 300
killed and 1,000 wounded.
At the American docks all tlio ships have
boon navod owing to tlio favorable direction
of the wind.

On Thursday night tholUtof dead consist
cd of four una there were tlfty-ulno on
tombed. Now there U not the faintest hop ;
of unyona in the pit having escaped except
the two men who brought the news of th <
lira to tbo surface.
Tbo pit belongs to the Shoot Iron company
und was worked solely as an iron stouo pit
Hut recently consldorublo check wus put ot
the industry through an Interdict huvlni
boon obtained by certain lauded proprietor !
t'ulnst the company carrying on calcine
rorks In connection with the production of
he raw material. Slnco that time no Iron
tone has been convoyed to the shoots and
athor moro attention lias been directed to-
vnrd the production of coal , though the Iron
tone wus still worked. The coal Is of good
, imllty.
The mouth of thopit Is situated on top of
. hill , a short distance from the turnpike
oad , The abaft descends a distance of
Ighty fathoms. Running In n southerly
llrcctlon from the bottom of the shaft Is
ovol mine extending llftv fathoms , at
he extreme end of willed the
haft of the Groonlaw pit communicates ,
( ranching off near the junction of the Green-
aw pit is nn incline , which descends on a
calo of nbout 80 in 100 feet for n dlsUnco of
00 fathoms. From the bottom of this in-
ulino the workings run In opposite directions
Ight mid loft. The mine has thus no second
haft leading to tlio utmost depth , us the
Jrnonlnw connection only extends down to
ho olght fathoms level. The coal and iron
vns convoyed up the incline by hutches run
ning nn rails , and thcnco up the shaft in the
usual cages. The coal sides of the Incline
voro llnod with wood , but the roof , which
vus of Iron ntone , win Uaro. It is this wood
inlng which nppoars to have tiknn Uro , and
hat , too , a point lower than the connection
vith the Groo'iliuv pit , the consequence
icing that the miners who wore engaged at
ho lower level wore literally hummed in and
could flnd no way of cscapo.
5.THOU ensued u sccno which , happily , is not
often witnessed , and which is perhaps best
Icscribcd In the words of ono of the aitr-
, -lvors , David Ilobb. who was at the deepest
iurt of the workings. Ho says :
"I'lmmedlately shouted to the boys that
he pit was on lire. Mitchell and a boy
mmed Willie Uniuiiardt volunteered to go
nto the workings to warn the men not far
from the bottom of the incline. Two men ,
Hunter und Wright , were driving a new
road , and a boy named Tolmio wont to warn
thorn. Just at that time I got the bell signal
from the top to send up the men's carriage.
As jt was leaving empty , I went with It. 1
liad no idea of the sarions tiaturo of the flro
and I thought if Pcould get to the eighty-
fathom eiigino house I might bo able to turn
the water on and put out the flames , but before -
fore I got to eighty fathoms the smoke became -
came so dense that I almost suffocated. I
could sea nothing. I thought I should never
como through it , and at the eighty-fathom
station , where the carriage halted as usual ,
ill I could do was to yell , 'For God's saiio ,
boll away.1 That meant to ifo on. Fortu
nately they board mo at the bank or I should
not have boon able to tell the story. "
From the titno of the alarm till now relays
of men have worked at the task of rescue ,
bu without any result , aUhough last night
there was kept up a struggle with ovarinas
lerlug fumes In putting brattice work to ob
tain ventilation. Two men were let down
the incline in n trucic and besides having to
jattlo with a current of smoke so thick as to
obscure all vision , their efforts amounted to
jut little. After a few minutes the nun
would"como to the surfaca with with streamIng -
Ing eyes and perspiring fuco. Their object
was to roach the eighty-fathom level , from
which it was hoped it might be possible to
turn the current to clear the incline.
At midnight there were still so mo four or
five fathoms to bo bratticed before the eighty-
fathom level could bo reached. From that
time work proceeded at a rate of not more
than u fathom per hour. Shift after shift
went down , and the men oarao to the sur-
fuca In despair at the slow progress they
were making.
Whllo working en the incline the men ,
about 3 o'clock this morning , came on the
bodies of John Walker und Hugh McPhor-
son. Lioth bodies were found in the vicinity
of the eighty-fathom engine. It was part of
the duties of these men to attend to it , and
they seem to have died at their post. Dr.
Bungor , who examined bodies on their ar
rival ut the surface , states that the corpses
worn frightfully scorched , not with flro , but
the hot ulr in the pit , the temperature of
which Is stated to have boon high enough to
molt loud. The flesh adhered to their
clothes nnd the ghastly spnctaclo was ren
dered the moro hideous by the fact that on
endeavoring to remove their boots the foot
nearly parted from the logs.
Shortly nftcrS o'clock It was found that
the oust side of the pit had began to full , und
in order to retain the sides und ropf n largo
number of props wcro utilized. A' quantity
of the stuff , however , fell , considerably hin
dering the operations of tlio roscuora. About
4 o'clock Information reached the pit head
that although six bodies were visible on the
west side they could not bo approached on
the cast side , and there was not a man alive.
The rescuers made gallant efforts to got at
the bodies , but were ropuUcd by tbo tire and
foul air. Hy 7 o'clock it was soon that noth
ing further could bo done in the way of re
covering the dead.
Meantime , In consequence of the flro on
the east side of tlic workings , the explorers
can not reach the bodies , altliouch they can
see u number , and from their position It
wouU appear1 that they had made a rush
almost In a body togut out , but had been
overwhelmed.
Ono of the rescuers , named Anderson ,
ventured too fur und hud to bo carried to the
surfuco in a helpless condition.

CincAfio , Sept. 0. [ Special Telegram to
TUB UBC.J The passenger war between
ho Pennsylvania und the Monon Is being
prosecuted with increased virulence , In splto
of yesterday's rumor of a settlement. There
is no apparent intention or dcsiro on the
part of cither road to yield nn Inch. The
only outcome 'In sight Is a still further re
duction in rate's , an event looked for by each
road from day to day.
In answer to a query by President Car
son , of the Monon , to-day , to ono of his
officials the following statement wns made :
"Vlcc-Prosldent McCnllough , of the Penn
sylvania , said in Indianapolis , and it socms
to have been given out nlsawhcro that In
former yours his road enjoyed 65 per cent of
the business In competition with the Monon.
Ho further said that because of the
Motion's manipulations with brokers ,
his proportion hud dwindled from (15 (
per cent to 35. In other words ,
the lines had changed places. The ilrst state
ment is absolutely untrue , and the rest
mostly so. The records of the Ohio Hiver
Tariff association show that at no time did
the Pennsylvania do moro than 4o per cent
of the business. Previous to the passage of
the intar-stato commerce act n pool was In
effect between Chicago und Louisville. Hy
agroouicnt the Pennsylvania wus allowed 45
per cent , but it never earned it. Further
more. Mr. MuCullough says , part of the decrease
crease wus owing to manipulation of mileage
books. Wo can nbsolutolv provo that the
Pennsylvania was ns much bonoflttcd as the
Monon from that cause. It is a fact that
none of the passengers curricd on mileage
tickets are Included in the report of the Ohio
Kivcr Tronic association. In other words ,
the leport shows only the business done
on regular tickets. Consequently nil our
passengers who went on mileage tickets are
that much taken from our regular traffic and
still we do GO per cent of the business. "
Miuivol TJiiniilmou'ly Blectad.
Cmoino , Sept. 0. [ Special Telegram to
TUB HKI : . ] At a meeting of the directors
of the Atchison , Topaka & Santa Fe rail
road to-dav In Uoston the
company - , resig
nation of President William B. Strong , was
presented. A resolution wus adopted ex-
pressingthoir appreciation of his faithfulness ,
integrity nnd ability , and their sincere wishes
for bis future welfare nnd success. Alien
Manvol , late vice president of the St. Paul ,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad , was
then unanimously elected director and presi
dent of the company and ho will assume his
duties next Monday. It was announced that
a sufllciont number of stockholders of each
of the California companies had given their
consent to the consolidation of the sumo , and
the consolidation would go into effect
forthwith. To meet the present
situation of the road's affairs ,
the by-laws were amended so as
to relieve the president from the supervision
of the financial affairs of the company , thus
leaving him free to give his entire time to
the oocratioa of the railway properties in
tno system.
The board authorized the settlement with
Hon. Lovl C. Wa'lo of the claim made by
him ns counsel ; also the next of kin of Mr.
and Mrs. John F. Hart and their son Robert ,
who wcro killed in the accident lust April at
Lorenzo. Ill , , upon the basis of $5,000 , for the
death of each person.
President Manvel stated this afternoon
that ho expects ox-President Strong here by
to-morrow nighl , in order that there may be
a conference before the oftlco is formally
turned over to him on Monday. The action
of the directors in relieving him of any
responsibility for tbo finances of the road is
csnecially pleasing to him , as it will leave
him perfectly free to manngo the executive
business.Ho Intended making a careful
study of the road , and especially the
territory to which all ot tbo 7.000 miles of
road In the system reaches. Ho
can then toll which association
alliances nro profitable nnd which are not.
So many conflicting interests are mot and
the Atchison is so hedged In by competitors
in all the different western associations that
It is at times difllcult and oftener Impossible
to meet competition under tbo rules of the
associations of which the Atchison is a mem
ber. This inuttor will bo carefully consid
ered by President Manvol , although ho said
ho hud not yet thought of withdrawing from
any association. It seems extremely likely ,
howovnr , that ho will withdraw from the
Intor-Stato Commerce Hallway association.
The defection of the Atchison would be
nearly or quite a mortal blow to that body.

The action was brought by the Chicago
firm to recover about -SlB.000 paid on account
of Merrill in the purchase and sale of pork
on the Chicago board of trade in 18S3. The
defendant denied his liability nnd set up
certain special matters of defense , including
the claim that the plaintiff had paid the
money not in legitimate trade , but on mar
gin contructs , the matter being a gambling
transaction in which the defendant's agree
ment to reimburse the plaintiff was void.
The case was tried in Boston last September
before Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes , Jr. ,
son of the famous "Autocrat of the Break-
fust Table , " und a verdict was given to the
plaintiff. An appeal was" taken , the defend
ant excepting to certain rulings of the triul
judge , The appeal was argued before the
full bench on Alurch 4 last and the case has
been under advisement over since. The de
cision just handed down docs not touch the

A Mnncollnii Ijovor's Trouble * .
CHICAGO , Sept. 0. [ Special Telogrnin to
TUB BKI : . | 1'ho originality ot the nvorago
hictigo justice's ' decision is only exceeded
by Its llngrant violation of nil Inw. In his
zonl to discourage the growing tendency of
the American maiden to seek In wedlock the
.nslnuuttng Mongolian liiundryimin Justice
LaUuy has become a looal lion among indig
nant mammas and Irate papas. Notwlth-
itandlng this , however , his action In nsscss-
ngflnnsof ? 100 each against Frank Lee , n
Shinnman , and Jennie Engorbritzer , a young
girl who wanted to marry him , has caused n
'groat deal of adverse ci Ulelstn. It may not
bo a very wise or nlco thing for white girls
to wed Cliluamcn. butthoro Is no law against
t , and good lawyers uro at n loss to know
upon what precedent Justice LuBuy would
send them to" the bridewell.
A reporter called on Judge LaBuy this
morning to ask him what authority bo hml
for his sentence , and the lustlco admitted
very readily that ho had not tried to punish
, lto parties for their matrimonial Intentions ,
which were the only real grounds of corn-
plaint against them. "I sent the Chinaman
to the bridewell , " ho said , "because ho had
sworn to u mnrrlago license clerk that the
girl was nineteen years old , when she was
under ago. "
"How long is it that perjury has boon a
crime punlslinblc by a justice of the pcncoi"
The question was rather disconcerting , but
the justice contented himself by insisting
that , the Chinaman deserved the sentence.
"Why did you sentence the girl ! " ho was
asked.
"Because her parents said she was willful
and would not mind them. "
As a dispenser of sentences Justice
LaBuy possesses a liberality that must sur
prise those who como before him. In the
ilrst place , if the Chinaman had really com
mitted perjury in swearing out the license
the most that the justice could lawfully do
was to hold him to the grand Jury. In the
second place there was no formal complaint
against the girl , and to send her to a reform
atory institution was a high hanucd outrage
and a disregard of personal rights. But Chicago
cage Justice shop law Is peculiar , and Mr.
LaBuy's dispensation of it is as fair , perhaps ,
as that of any of his colleagues.
Heavy as were the lines levied against the
Chinaman and his betrothed , they were not
large enough to satisfy the oilicers In the
case. Onicer Enpstrom took out a warrant
for Mrs. Delia Hello Leo Slug , in whoso
house tt hud been shown that Leo mot the
llttlo German girl. She was chureed with
disgusting conduct tmd brought before the
police magistrate this morning. Miss Sing Is
n white woman , but has now been married
six years to Leo Sing. Sing kept a laundry
in Denver , Colo. , at that titno , and Delia
Belle lived in the same block. They saw a
great deal of each other , foil In love ana
were married by a justice after the usual
fashion. The evldonco showed th.it one day
recently Miss Kuglobrotzen went to Mrs.
Smcr and said : " 1 urn In love with Prank
Lee. I think those eyes of his are the pret
tiest I have ever seen. "
"Why don't you marry him if you love him
sol" uslccd Mrs. Sing.
"Oh , ho is n Chinaman , and everyoody
would talk. "
'Let them talk ; I guess if I loved a man I
would marry him , " said Mis. Sing.
That evening when the couple met at the
residence of Mrs. Sing the marriage was ar
ranged , only to be subsequently thwarted by
the Chinuiuun'a. prospective mother-in-luw.
After hearing the evidence Justice LaUuy
said ho would line Mrs Sing $100 for allow
ing such proceedings in her house. Ho said
it was a dangerous matrimonial agency and
ought to be squelched.
' \ ho Chinese are very much excited , and
have joined together to secure the release of
all three persons lined by securing writs of
habeas corpus.

Billy Blurphy , of Denver , Filled Full
of Shot *
DENVER , Sept. 0. At un early hour this
morning Timothy Stocking shot and in
stnntly killed Billy Murphy , an ex-convict
from the Joliat penitentiary.
The stony leading up to the murder Is
something of a romanco. In 18S3 Miss Will
iams , a beautiful young girl of whom Mur
phy was enamored , rejected his suit and
married his rival , Stocking. Murphy took
to drink , and a couple of months after the
wedding was caiight attempting to burglarize
a residence und was sentenced to live years' '
mprlsonment , Stocking being tup principal
witness of the prosecution , .
Murphy swore revenge. After his release
ho followed the couple over the country ,
finally locating them In Denver. He came
hero a couple of months iU'0 , and meeting
Mrs. Stocking on the street badly frightened
her by threats of violence against herself
mid husband. Blocking , however , tippoarcd
to pay llttlo attention to the threats.
The police had been notified of the state of
affairs , and had repeatedly driven Murphy
from Stocking's premises xvhero no had been
found skulking around at all hours of the
night.
About 1 o'lock thin morning Stocking was
awakonud by someone knocking at the front
door , and going to the entrance ho asked
who was there , und being informed it was
Billy Murpliy , looUc'u between the blinds
and saw the man with u Hugo knife. StocKing -
ing picked up a shotgun and 11 red the con
tents ot tbo barrel into Muruhy's fuco and
neck. Murphy staggered out of tlio gate
and fell u corpse on the wulk. Stocking wns
arrested and locked up in the central station.

WAsmxaTox , Sept. 0. The subject of de
sertion fromtlo \ army will be treutcd at ,
length In iho forthcoming report of the soo-
rotary of war. It is ono that hits hud Secre
tary Proctor's earnest consideration from
tlio beginning us well us that of the adjutant
general's stuff. Various changes in barrack I
life , with a view to increasing the soldier's '
comfort and interest In his command Iiuvo
been Instituted , notably the consolidated
mess and canteen systems. These have
worked well where tried and the rcsiltlms
been that the Dorcontaco of desertions has
bean decreased siuwi Ib83.
Of the desertions 'Jj per cent occur among
the men snrvmg their first and second your
of enlistment. In May lust Major Theodora
Schwan , assistant adjutant general , under
instructions from Secretary Proctor , nmde u
tour of inspection of the recruiting depots at
Davids Island , N. Y. , Columuus , O. , and
Jefferson barracks , Mo. The major is him
self a soldier who came up from the ranks ,
and his report to the adjutant , general con
tains numerous suggestions , including tbo
draft of u bill prepared by him last winter
utter a close study of the situation , calcu
lated In his opinion to lesson tlio evil of do-
sertion. Mujor Schwan sny.s :
"Whatever causes of discontent hnvo nt onetime
time existed , nucli as the luck of provisions
or care for the physical comfort und needs of
the unlisted soldier or unreasonable demands
upon nud unfair or harsh treatment of him ,
hnvo beau removed so fur us It is' in the
power of the military authorities to do so ,
und the cases are rare where the failure of
the government to make good its obligations
can bo truthfully aliened ns affording even
the semblance of a justification for deser
tion. "
Among ether things Mujor Sell wan's bill
provides safeguards against readmlsslon to
the service of "repeaters" or professional
deserters. Another provision of the bill Is
that one-third of u soldier's pay for iho first
year shull bo retained until discharge , and
forfeited if ho does not servo out ills term.
It also provides for the adoption of the
British custom of permitting oulisted men to
purchase their discharges.
Acting Adjutant General McKcevcr and
other ofllcurs of the stuff have , ut Secretary
Proctor's request , submitted memoranda
on the subject of desertions. ActIng -
Ing Adjutant General McKaevcr says ,
in ills opinion , the chief causes of desertion
ure : Disappointment ut the realities of
military lifo ; the employment of tbo soldier
on laborers' work without extra pay ; tno
Inequality of punishments as indicted by
courts-maitinl ; bad company administration :
tliotyirany sometimes pi noticed on onl'/itea '
