-ffc FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. Vint Six Quarts of f*itro-Glycerine Ae* oomplliihed, [From the New York Henli] i » A tfeortreadiiig accident occurred ym- |erday morning at the United States Government excavation works at Hell tote, which are tinder the direction of Eaj, iien. Newton, in charge of the Fed- ,«§EJ3ral engineering improvements in the . ||jport and harbor of New York. By this pad and disastrous, as well as miaccount- v^kble, accident, three men lost their lives, <#wh© were blown to pieces instantly by She explosive force of nitro-glycerine, seven others have been quite se- '•-•jrioiisly injured, some of whom will ^probably remain disfigured for life. The ~ explosion burst on the ears of the untor- fortunate victims at 9:30 o'clock, and as . blasts are frequent in that neighborhood did not attract any attention for some moments, those in the vicinity believing . that the noise came from one of the usual blasts that are occurring at the Hell Gate works. CAUSE OF THE CATASTROPHE. John Doyle, aged 27 years, who leaves a wife and two children, was a watch - " man at the works, and had also been a messenger for Gen. Newton to and from the works, carrying messages and pack­ ages sometimes of nitre-glycerine irom Governor's Island and the manufactory on Black Tom Island, on the Jersey Flats, near Oommunipaw, to the Hell Gate ex­ cavation. Yesterday morning about 9:10 o'clock he came on board of the Government diamond drill scow, whieh lies off the blasting ship at Astoria. Doyle, who reported to the assistant engineer and superintendent of the flash­ ing operations, J. H. Streidinger, had with him six tin cans full of nitro-glycer­ ine, and in each can was contained about n'quart of nitro-glycerine, weighing two pounds and a half--in all about •fifteen pounds of the deadly liquid. By some mishap or trip-up, or by some trivial mistake which involved Concussion, as it will not explode other­ wise, the six quarts of glycerine were suddenly exploded, and in an instant, and simultaneous with the report, the air was darkened with bleeding frag­ ments of human bodies and splinters of timber. A wooden shanty, ten feet square in area by ten feet in height, was blown afar off beyond the Gate itself, the deck of the scow was covered with de­ bris, and about a dozen men who were on fee deck of the scow were hurled right and left as if they were so many straws. The Superintendent, Streid­ inger, who has a little office aft and ele­ vated above the deck of the scow, was shaken so hard that he had to lean over his desk to steady himself on his feet, while he received a shower of mucilage and ink from the bottles that bounded from his desk. The clerk of Streid­ inger, a young man, who had ah office to himself a little forward of his superior's, was also shaken, and a small row-boat, lying under the overhang of the scow, was blown out of the water and into small pieces. AU around the scow the effect upon everything within reach of the ex­ plosion was awful. A large hole was blown in the deck of the massive, heavy scow, which is constructed of layer upon layer of yellow pine. The captain of the tugboat Westphalia, which was in the vicinity at the time of the explo­ sion, was badly stunned, as were two of his crew, and it is said that an unknown man, whose body has not been found, was blown from the Government tug into the river. The small shanty or cabin at the for­ ward end of the scow was used for for divers to dress in, and also to hold ex­ plosive materials temporarily or while in transitu to the magazine. Not a trace of t.his shanty was leit. THE KHiLKD>. Henry Luerssen, aged 33 years, a na­ tive of Hanover, Germany. Farts of his body were picked out of the water, the entrails and brains having been taken out quite neatly by the terrible exp osion. The entire front of the face was torn off, and both legs as well as an arm were completely severed from the body. John Hickman, aged 27 years. Hick­ man's body was frightfully mutilated. His legs and arms were all broken,,his feet falling off, and his bones protruding through the skin in different places. The head was also torn and jagged. John Doyle, of No. 197Sackett street, Brooklyn. Dcyle was a fine, healthy- looking man. A plank or joist or some large piece of wood must have been driven with terrific force between the v thighs of this poor victim, as the under part of his abdomen was all gached and torn, and his trunk hanging to his lowar limbs by shreds and patches of flesh. THE WOUNDED. Capt. James Davis, Jacob Peterson, Charles Schmidt. Frank Pike, Henry Halsey, John Dobson and George Schael received serious injuries. The first named is not expected to live. Smothered in a Sleeping-Car. A train on the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern railroad recently ran off the track near Salisbury, Mo., with fatal, results. The cars were precipi­ tated down a high embankment, and four passengers lost their lives. Con­ siderable water rushed into the cars, and two little girls were drowned be­ fore they could be rescued. The death of the other two passengers--Mr. Charles Taussig, the Treasurer of the road, and of Mr. Richard Ellet, a mer­ chant of Yazoo, Miss.--occurred in a very singular manner. Both gentle­ men occupied top berths, and when the cars turned over the berths shut up just as thev are in the day time, as close as the lid in a trunk. Taussig and Ellet * were thus closed in, and when found they had actually smothered to death., Mr. Taussig had not a mark or a bruise on any part of his body. Mr. Ellet's face was swollen, evidently by his efforts to get out of his horrible trap. As the sleep­ ing-car conductor yelled out "Who is missing?" Mr. Ellet was heard tq utter out, in response, "Come to No. 2," the berth he was in; but just at that time he found a paralyzed man lying down in the water, and supposing that the voice issued from him, the man was rescued from bis perilous position. Owing to this mistaken belief Ellet was unfor­ tunately left to die in his locked up berth before he was found. Mr. Ellet was a nephew of Gen. Ellet, of Missis­ sippi, and was a fine-looking man. He had just taken his family out to Color­ ado, where he left them, and was return­ ing home via St. Louis. The other passengers sustained very slight injuries, being mostly bruises sustained in trying to climb out of the oars before help ar­ rived. An Aged Bridal Party. On Thursday evening an nnusually interesting marriage ceremony took place at the residence of Mr. Daniel L. Sawyer, in Haverhill, Mass., the Rev. A. A. Williams officiating. The bride­ groom was Eben H. Little, Esq., 82 years old, a native of Hempstead, N. H., a successful Boston merchant. The bride was Miss Jerusha Palmer, 84 years old, a wealthy maiden lady, formerly residing on Beacon street, Boston, bui 1-^ o - mi.-lave Oi uvuici TUUU* Alio ^i(iULUBUIIIU was Master Anson Aver, 14 years old, and the bridesmrid Mise Nellie M. Saw­ yer, a miss of 13. The wedding party consisted of about thirty persons, rela­ tives and friends, including ages from the infant of 13 months, with its sugges­ tive prattle, to those of threescore years. The parties to the union are hale and hearty, and with no abutment of natural fervor save that which attends advancing' years. Mr. Little has been married once before, and several years ago passed the period of his golden wedding. To the bride the relations were new. The early hours of the honeymoon are to-day being spent in an excursion down the liver in the Queen of the Merrimac, the party being joined by the Odd Fel­ lows and Daughters of Rebekah, to whom they will present a practical illus­ tration of how the odd are sometimes made even. The romance of the affair is that Mr. Little, "longing for a kindred spirit," and yearning for a heart that could commune with his ownf made pro­ posals to Miss Palmer several months ago, which were then not looked upon with favor. Within the past ten days, however, an answer was received assent­ ing to the proposed union. The maiden became his affianced, and the necessary preparations for the nuptial ceremonies hastened, so that the event took place last evening. The venerable pair are to make their abode in this city.--Boston Globe. Death of a Veteran Printer. Last Wednesday Charles McDevitt, an honored member of the typographi­ cal fraternity, died, and yesterday he was buried. His life was of peculiar interest. The Herald reporter, on his way to the funeral, met the veteran jour­ nalist of tne State, Mr. Thurlow Weed, going to pay the last tribute of respect to an old and dear friend. Mr. Weed said : "I have known Charley McDevitt for fifty-five or sixty years. The first tract issued by the American Tract So­ ciety, about the year 1816, was set up by Mr. McDevitt, and he and I worked it off together in Daniel Fanshawe's office, at No. 11 Cliff street, in this city. He joined the New York Typographical Society soon after 1 did. I joined it in 1816. At the time of his death #iie was the oldest member of that society that had not missed a meeting for more than fifty years. He was ever active in hunting up and pro­ viding for sick members and extending aid to those in distress. I left the city in 1818, and exceptingoccasionally since then I have not been acquainted with his work for fifty years. I always at­ tended the meetings of the society when I was in town. In 1819 I went to Albany as a journeyman printer, and during the next year started a paper for myself in the adjoining.pounties. In 1830 I went baok to Albany and started the Albany 4Evening Journal. Mr. McDevitt then went on the New York Mirror. He re­ mained with it after it was changed to an evening paper, and at the close of its existence went on the New York Ledger, where he remained until he was taken sick last December. Until last Wednes­ day he and William E. Dean, now living in Tenth street, and I were the oldest members of the Typographical Society." --New York Herald. Fifteen Hundred Feet Under Gronnd. It takes only five minutes. You step on the stage and the hand 'that guides the Titan at the surface touches the rein of his black monster and you are plunged into the gloom. The cage stops and you are more thqua a quarter of a mile below the busy city; from the dusty highway you have stepped into the world's grandest treasure house; you have passed from the temperate to the tropical zone in a minute--you are in the Bonanza. It is no little thing to work a mine 1,500 feet below the surface. True, there are broad avenues; broad timbers which, like Atlas, seem competent to support a world; there are engines at work and cars running; but every glimpse of the men reveals the exertion necessary to keep up this conflict with the spirits that guard the buried treas­ ure below. The men are stripped to the waist, those brawny delvers, with perspiration bursting from every pore. It looks pleasant down there in the mimic streets and under the lantern's glare; but before those streets were opened there was in the stifling air a work performed that cannot be calcu­ lated. Picks were swung, drills were struck, powder was burned, men fainted and fell in their places, but the work went on. So it will proceed in the fu­ ture, until, probably, after another six­ teen years, they will be working 3,000 feet below the surf ace.-- Virginia (Nev.) Sentinel. Health of New York City. The statistics of the, Board of Health show that, though there has been a marked increase in the population of this city during the past ten years, there has been nc corresponding increase in the " death rate. By comparing the mortal­ ity of children under five years of age from diarrheal diseases, it was seen that in 1872, the last year in which there was a prolonged heated term, there were over 200 more deaths in tuis class in the month of July than were re­ ported for the same month in the pres­ ent year.--New York Commercial Ad- | rtiser. ' The Reason. A young clergyman, modest almost to bashfulness, was once asked by a country apothecary, of a contrary character, in a public and crowded assembly, and in a tone of voice sufficient to catch the at­ tention of the whole company, " How happened it that the patriarchs lived to such extreme old age ?" To which ques­ tion the clergyman replied, "Perhaps they took no physic." THE CUSTF.R MASSACRE. ' g|in j of An Ey«.W)ln»!W--THte*n Hondrwd Savages Pour In » Monleroat Fire Upon the Little B»nd--One-Hair the Troop# Unhorsed at the First Volley troni the Indians--Six Soldler-Prtooners Bomed at the Stake in Sitting Ball's Camp. The St Pan! Pkmeer-frrem and Tri­ bune publishes a full statement made by an old trapper named Ridgely, who lives near Anoka, Minn., and has been in the Yellowstone country two years. Ridge- ly was a prisoner in Sitting Bull's camp at the time of the Custer massacre, and saw every movement of the troops. He states that about the last of March or April, in company with four trappers, tlxwy were attacked by Iiilumus while trapping in the Black Hills, himself and another trapper captured, and all their furs taken from them. Being bound by buffalo sinews, they w«re taken directly to the camp of Sitting Bull, when he asked them in good English where they were from. Ridge- ly replied, "Fort Garry." Sitting Bull, believing them to be British subjects, ordered them released, and gave them the freedom of the camp, stating that he would return them to their friends ere long. The three remained in Sitting Bull's camp until the day of the Custer massacre, and Mr. Ridgely says they were treated with uniform kindness. Ridgely states that Sitting Bull orga­ nized his*forces, not for the sake of fight­ ing the whites, but to drive the miners from the hills. They had no expecta­ tion of meeting soldiers until after the arrival of troops in the Yellowstone country, and mounted couriers from Sitting Bull's camp had for eight days watched every move of the military pre­ vious to Custer's attack. Ridgely says the Indians observed every movement of Custer's force, its division into small detachments being noted with mani­ festations of extreme delight. Ambus­ cades were at once prepared by the In­ dians, and Ridgely states that while the Indians stood ready for the attack many of them clambored on the side hills over­ looking Custer's line of march down the Rosebud. The Indian camp was divided by a bluff or ridge, the point of which ran toward the Rosebud and in the direction of one of the available fords on the river. The Indians had crossed the river to camp by this ford, and Custer had followed their trail down to the water's edge. From this point of observation there were but twenty-five tepees visible to Custer, but they were seventy-five double tepees behind the bluff, not to be seen by the soldiers. Custer attacked the smaller village, and was immediately met by a force of 1,500 or 2,000 Indiana in regular order of battle, and every, movement was made in military pre­ cision. Ridgely says he stood on tho side of a hill where he had a complete view of the battle, which was not more than a mile and a half distant. Custer began the fight in a ravine near the ford, and fully one-half his command seemed to be unhorsed at. the first lire. Then the soldiers retreated toward the hill in the rear, and were shot down on the way with astonishing rapidity, the commanding officer falling from his horse in the middle of the engagement, which commenced at 11 a. in., and did not last more than forty-five minutes. After' the massacre of Custer's force, the Indians returned to camp with six soldiers as prisoners, and delirious with joy over their success. These six prison­ ers were tied to stakes at a wood-pile in the village, and all burned to death. While the flames were torturing them to death, Indian boys fired red-hot ar­ rows into their quivering flesh until they were dead. The prisoners were kept burning over an hour, but Ridgely was not permitted to speak to them, so he was unable to state who they were. One was notice­ able, he says, from his small size and gray hair and whiskers. •> Sitting Bull was met after the fight, and he exultingly remarked that he had killed many soldiers and OJLB damned General, but he did not know who he was. The squaws then armed themselves with knives and visited the battle-field, and robbed and mutilated the bodies of the dead soldiers. While the six soldiers were being burned, the Indians turned their atten­ tion to the force (evidently Reno's) at­ tacking the lower end of the village. Ridgely says Custer's command had been slaughtered before a shot was fired by Reno's force attacking the lower end of the camp, about 2 p.m. The Indians returned in the evening and said the men had fought like the devil, but Ridgely says they did not make a state­ ment of their own losses. They said the soldiers had been driven back twice, and then they piled up stones, and the attack was unsuccessful. Reno, he states, killed more Indians than Custer, who fell in the midst of the fight, and two Captains, believed to be Yates and Keogh, he says, were the last to die. Ridgely says the night after the Custer massacre the Indians were wild with delight. Many were drunk on whisky stolen from the whites, and the squaws performed the duty of guards for the prisoners. The guards becom­ ing drowsy, Ridgely and his two com­ panions escaped from camp, securing ponies, and began their long journey toward home. The party subsisted on game, and laid in the woods four days to avoid the Indiana. On the way his horse stumbled, breaking Ridgely's arm as he was thrown to the ground. The party avoided friend or foe until they reached Fort Abercrombie, where one of the party died from erysipelas. His other companion joined friends in the north­ ern part of the State, and Ridgely came to this city, passing north of Bismarck and other point?, and is now on his way to Foit Snelling, where he will apply for a position as scout, his broken arm pre­ venting other service. He describes Sitting Bull as a half- breed, largo-size; and very intelligent. His right foot is turned out, the resnlt of an injury, and it materially affects his gait. Five weeks before the Custer fight three Red river carts arrived at camp loaded with powder and lead, and? Ridgely says nearly all the ammunition and provisions were procured from Cana­ dian and Red river traders. Before crossing the Missouri river, in his escape, he constantly met small war parties headed toward Sitting Bull's camp. Sot a Poor Man's Land. A private letter from a citizen of So­ lano county, California, to a friend in Illinois, contains the following: "You ask me about the propriety of laboring men moving to California, As ft com­ mon-place remark, I will say that it is a great big country--lots of territory-- the choice pieces of which are in tbe hands of farmers or speculators. As a result, farming does not pay at the present time. It is almost wholly a cereal oountry, and the raising of wheat does not pay. Millions of bushels are on hand now, for which there is no market. We grow plenty of fruit, but that is perishable and can't be exported. La­ borers' wages here on farms range from «$3U to $40 per month, with board; but a man must be a skilled teamster or plowman to command 840. They plow with gangs--three or four plows fastened together--using six or eight horses in the team. One who can manage one of these teams can command $30 and $40 pear month. Common hands, owing to the Chinese, who are very apt. at al! light work where no animals are to be han­ dled, csu only lealiio $20 to $25 per mentth I would, not advise any j>oor man at the East to leave $20 or $25 per month to come to California. We are situated thus: The Greeks, Italians, Portuguese and Chinese do our fishing, ttie Portuguese and Chineso our garden­ ing. Irish girls and Chinese our house­ work and washing, the Mexicans our shepherding, the Jews our storekeeping, the Grangers our big farming, and the Americans our railroading, boating, speculating, banking, etc., and, together with the Irish, talk politics and hold the offices." Antarctic Exploration. The appearances of land near the Sontli Pole mapped by the American exploring expedition under Capt. Wilkes, many years ago, prove in repeated instances to have been delusions. This has been re­ cently demonstrated, as to several points, by the Challenger expedition, lately re­ turned to England. Antarctic explo­ ration is once more^xciting interest in Europe scientific circles, from the fact that it is exremely desirable to observe the transit of Ventis in 1882 from a point as near as possible to the South Pole. The most southerly point ever reached was latitude seventy-eight degrees and four minutes south, by Capt. Ross, of the British navy, about thirty-five years ago. Capt. Davis, who was a Aember of his expedition, lectured recently at South Kensington on Antarctic dis- oovery, and expressed much doubt whether any one would ever get nearer the South i*ole than Ross did.
