The Sheridan yard of the Pan Handle railroad at Pittsburg, was the scene Tuesday evening of the most disastrous explosion and fire known in this section for many years. A score of lives were lost and about 200 persons were so badly burned that according to the judgment of physicians in attendance 75 per cent, of them will die from the effects of their injuries. The cause of the catastrophe was the explosion of a train of naphtha cars, which were being switched at the car yard. In the switching the rear The leaking telescoped a car forward. naphtha Ignited from a switch light, rausing an explosion which threw the flames 50 feet high. The first car of naphtha exploded about 4:40 oclock, and the' spectacle Boon attracted a large crowd on the Streets lining the hills on both sides of and parallel to the railroad.

The City of St. Fierre, Island of Marti-ntquI Destroyed and of tho Entire Population of tho City But Thirty Escape. '1 i I a 9 4 .4 , e, From the Island of Martinique, in the West Indies, comes a story of on of the most horrible catastrophes that could he imagined. While the citizen of St. Pierre were pursuing their daily occupations, suddenly the volcano oi Mount Pelee exploded ana fire from il swept the whole town, destroying practically all of the inhabitants ol the city and vicinity. About 1,000 oi the population was composed of whit people, all of whom, it is reported met death. The governor of the colony and bit staff and wife were in St. Pierre and vice-cons- ul i 't II record-breakin- air-ihi- nd han, 600-lig- ht For nearly a week earthquakes hare been tumbling down cities, towns and villages on the western slope of the Sierras in this republic. On the night of April 18th, at the capital, a blinding flash of lightning, followed by a thunderstorm and torrents of rain, all in the space of a very few minutes, caused the people in the streets to rush for shelter. In an instant, however, the earthquake was upon them. Rushing frantically into the darkness and through the flooded streets, anywhere from the straining rafters and crackling walls, ran the multitude crying, praying, and a few trying to sing the Salve Regina. The following shocks were less severe, and by 10 oclock many of the inhabitants were wondering about, examining the walls of the cathedral of Santa Teresa, La Recollection and other churches, which were more or less damaged. News soon began to come in from the hill country, whete Quesaltenango is situated. This, the second city of the republic, suffered by far the most. Hundreds of residences and public buildings were either totally destroyed or seriously damaged. The very narrow streets, often not over three or four yards wide, and the irregular manner in which the town is of built, served to make death-tra- ps the houses, so that although not half of the debris has yet been removed, fully 200 bodies have been recovered, and many persons were badly injured. Fire, as well as flood, added to the horror of the night, with the result that many people have gone insane and others have committed suicide. Ammatitlan, San Juan, San Marcos, Escuitla, Santa Lucia, Utalan and several other smaller towns have been partly ruined. Still, very few lives, considering the extent ef the disaster, have been lost. Approximately 50,000 people have been left homeless, and public as well as private subscriptions are being raised to prevent the poor people from starv-inGuatemala, says: hor-ribl- , WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Relief parties have ventured into the Btreets of St. Pierre, says a Castries, St. Lucia, dispatch to the New York Herald. It was not expected that survivors would be found, and so there has been no disappointment at the mournful reports that have been returned. Piles of dead in the vicinity of the site of the cathedral tell the story of the attempt to find the sanctuary and refuge in the great structure of worn ship. Men and women, at the cataclysm, turned in the moment of their despair to the cathedral, and were apparently overcome before they could reach Sts doors. So far the search has been hindered by the fires that are still raging, and the investigators are in great danger. From the positions of the bodies the opinion is formed that many were overcome almost before they realized the extent of the peril. Many of the bodies are in life-lik- e positions, as though death had come with a breath, as, indeed, may have been the case. Steps have been taken to prevent disease resulting from the disaster. Burial parties are working night and day, but it is impossible that the dead ran be cared for as their friends would wish. Military rule is established in the town to prevent vsndals from working, Such property as has not been de itroyed will he protected. One of the great misfortunes arises from the fact that the storehouses of provisions have been swept out of existence. Search parties have found 3,000 charred corpses on the site of the cathedral. All appear to have been asphyxiated at first. Not a soul was found alive in the whole town. GUATEMALAN CITIES WRECKED. DIE IN RAIN OF FIRE 1868-Se- Mine-worke- ot y May 7. The house adopted the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. A fight was made on the senate amendment to open the Uintah reservation in Utah. Senate: Discussiou of the Philippines bill In the senate took a sensational turn today. Mr. McComas of Maryland, referring to the alleged cruelties of American soldiers in the dePhilippines cruelties which he deeply plored told of some of the cruelties which had occurred on both sides during the Civil war. In this connection he suggested that senators from South Oorolina and Mississippi, where there Is less popular liberty than in any other states, were shouting loudest for constitutional liberty In the Philippines. These remarks drew a sensational reply from Mr. Tillman of South Carolina, who declared that It was no longer possible to sneer awav the responsibility for the infamies committed by the Americans in the Ppilipplnes. He said that if It had been known in the south that the reins of government were to be given to the negroes, the Civil war would have been prolonged Indefinitely. He Insisted that In order to maintain their the white people of the south had been obliged to snbdue the negro bv whatever means they oould, using the shotgun ss one of the means. He frankly described how the negroes bad been defeated at the polls, admitting that the whites had gotten just such majorities ss were necesssay. 'When we get ready to put a nigger's face In the sand, he shouted, we put his body there too. Hedeclured that the people of the south never would submit to negro domination, and he hoped Republican senators would turn from the "game of deviltry in the Philij pines" and assist the south to rid itself of the threat of negro domination. While Mr. Tillman was senators speaking many of the Democratic left the chamber, his audience on the floor beside. on the ing largely Republican Mr. Burton of Kansas vigorously arraigned Mr. Tillman for bis utterances. He asserted that the senator who could defend slavery and not be ex- government by the shotgun oould who were Kected to think well of senators carry good government to the Filipinos. He was astonished that a senator in one breath should make an appeal for unsullied government In the Philippines, and in the next should boast of crimes almost unparalleled in history. ct "I Want Everybody to Know Ho Completely It Cures Indigestion - - w -- 4 CH1CA VageleHk Compound, wishes every other sufferer to know of the benefit he has received fco this marvellous remedy.
