His arm oitwl Oil the window sill and he was looking rrD the harbor. The cook was leaning out of tiie"door of the galwy and the fireman was standing outside looking into the" fire room. Suddenly the boat trebled and an explosion instantly followed. Capt. Riley says: "The ■team prevented my seeing what took place iirectly above the water, but I should think the whole tugboat, with the exception of the hull, went into the air. A man was thrown 200 feot high, going higher than anything )lse. It was probably the fireman who had been standing outside. A big trunk went almost as high as tho man did! Spars and pieces of wreckage fell all around within a radius of 100 feet. The greatest force of the jxploeion seemed to be submarine, as the water was thrown to a great height."

Filled With Lead. New York, March 11.—The Sun's Washngton dispatch says: Mr. Pugh, o( Alabama, whom the Democratic senators pat forward to reply to Mr. Edmunds, is an accidental leader of by reason of his place on the committee. He has no qualities of leadMbip. He is slow and stumbling in speech, his delivery is bad, and be is not quick to seize an opportunity to deal his enemy a blqw. He is an able lawyer, however, and the carefully prepared argument he delivered will read well in The Record. It is a very fair traverse of Mr. Edmund's ingenious speech, and some of the Vermonter's so-called precedents, notably the Thurmda incident, were badly knocked to pieces by the Alabama lawyer. Mr. Pugh is » big, burly, brood-chested man. He has a large, square bead, sparsely covered with light auburn hair, a small tuft of whiskers that does not conceal his firmly set jaws, and a broad Webaterian forehead. He dresees well for a southern man. In manners and .speech he quickly betrays his southern birth. The galleries were again crowded with listeners to the debate aajl the senators were generally in their «eats. A dosen representatives oocupisd seats in the chamber. John ;8herm*n turned the gavel over to Mr. .Harris, of Teansssee, and came down and rttted with his brother senators on the Republican tide.

St. Louis, March 11.—The discharge of all employes who went out on the strike and the employment of armed men through the agency of Detective Bennett, who, it is believed, is acting as an agent of Pinkerton, to guard the property of the road here and at other points, tends to augment the general belief that the present state of affairs is to be prolonged indefinitely. On the door of the office at Ewing avenue, and at other points, the notice of dismissal is posted up. The ways and means committee will report in favor of consideration by the house of Mr. McCann's bill establishing a state printing bureau in Albany. The vote was unanimous. The same committee will also report favorably the bill for the more certain recovery of taxes from delinquent corporation! and joint stock companies the bill providing that informers shall receive 10 per cent of all moneys recovered.

New Orleans, March 11.—A quarrel took place in the offlco of the United States district xrnrt between Capt. J. E. Bran, the well known steamboat man, and M. C iiace, admiralty attorney, in which i C: u hliots were 3red. Brau accosted Grace about the libeling of a steamboat by a deck hand and told him if he were a gentleman he would withdraw the suit. Mr. Grace said he thought there was something in the case, and that as (or as gentility went, he was as good a mail is Brau. They came to blows, and each irow revolvers and began shooting over the shoulders of Sam Pollock, court stenographer. Grace used a forty-five calibre and Bran a thirty-eight. After several shots were exchanged the men staggered apart, and Grace made his way to the head of the marble . stairway of the custom house where he fell dead. He had been hit three times, one ball entering the right nipple, and passing out of the back; one in the left breast above the nipple, and still another in the right arm, just below the shoulder. Capt Brau fell, and was conveyed to a hospital, where he now lies fatally wounded. He had received three bullets, one in the left aide under the armpit, piercing the lung, another in the right side, penetrating the abdominal cavity, and a third, in the center of the chin, breaking the lower Jaw. Grace was 30 years old, and was a favorite in the profession. He was unmarried. In his pocket was found a package containing four extra cartridges. The pistol pocket of his pants was sewed in ■uch a manner as to let the barrel of the pistol down and the cylinder and handle protrude. By this arrangement it was easy to draw the revolvedtery quickly. Capt Brau has been a steamboat man on the lower Mississippi for a number of years, but at present is business manager of the French Opera troupe. A year igo he fought a duel with Mr. Poche, a brother of a supreme court justice, with small swords, in which Poche was slightly wounded. Brau is married. Master Mechanic Bartlett was seen in regard to the order, but would say nothing about it; he only stated that it had been issued. Superintendent Kerrigan was equally retioeot.

Dolan, of the' tug Fremont, said: "Our boat was about a quarter of a inile iway when I saw tlia boat blown up hundreds of feet into the air. There seemed to be a million pieces. In the midst of them I could jee bodies of two men as they fell back into :he water. I at once directed our boat toward them and laicceeded in getting the jody of Cajjt. Nickel-son out of the debris, in which it was wedged so tightly that it could lardly be extricated. His foot was fractured uid his face and breast were terribly injured. He was lying across a spar, so that only his back could bo seen, with his hoad and feet under water. He must have been killed intan tly. The body of the fireman was terribly mangled. His head was split open and his face was badly gashed. The force of the izplosion had blown off both shoes. The toes of one foot were gone and from both the Hesh had been stripped as with a knife. There was an ugly hole in his side that looked as though a piece of coal had been blown through him." Government Vessels Provided for Carry- ing Belief to Snfltren. London, March 11.—The government has placed gunboats at the disposal of Capt. Tuke, who has gone to the western coast of Ireland to relieve the distress of the inhabitants of the Western islands. The distress among the people on the island of Arran is terribld, they being absolutely without food or fire, and many must die if assistance does not speedily reach them. Mr. Brady, the government inspeotor of fisheries, who is now administering the fund raised by the Irish police, has sent a strong appeal from the western islands to Mr. Frederick Bussy, The Cable News commissioner, whose efforts on behalf of the starving fishermen hove resulted in saving maay lives, urging him to hurry forward supplies.

Fuller was badly bruised. A switchman said that the employes had some little grievances against the company, but that they had been all satisfactorily settled, and as far as he knew there would he no strike. Mr. Pack began by saying Out the main abject he had in addressing the senate in reply to the senator from Vermont was to prevent, it it waa in Us power to do so, that senator front changing the character of the questtsn bet« mi the senate and the presi■ dent Ths raa) oharacter of that controversy could not ba adM|*rstood or misrepresented, :Msit had facts apparent upon the . rscosd and Wyrful by the majority of the , Judiciary committee.

At Palestine, where the company's Texas shops are located, an enthusiastic meeting was held by the' strikers, who freely expressed their feelings toward the locomotive engineers, conductors and brakemen's brotherhood for passing resolutions to the effect that they were willing to go to work unless they are compelled to stop by force. The Knights swear to get even if either of those brotherhoods are ever involved in a strike. The Hoxie circular seems to have a good effect on all fair-minded people. Freight Train Derailed. St. John, N. B., March 10.—A special freight train while speeding along the Intercolonial railway at the rate of thirty miles an hour, encountered a broken rail at Quispansis, fifteen miles from this city.

Vincknnbs, Ind., March 11.—An examination of the books shows an approximate shortage against County Treasurer Hollinsworth of $78,378. Everybody is dumbfounded and mortified at ther gigantic expose. Hollinsworth was a prosperous and wealthy farmer when he took possession of the treasurer's office. What he has done with this immense sum of money puzzles everybody. The conjecture is that it has been squandered in margin gambling and in a woman affair, over which Hollinsworth has one suit in court. Ex-County Treasurer W. W. Berry has been installed in charge of the treasurer's office. Tbe Sympathies of Business Not With the Strikers u It Was Before. Sedalia, March 11.—There has been no developments here.

The man fell dead, and on running to the spot Kreicher was horrified to find that he had killed Oassner. Mr. Pugh then read the letter signed by ; Mr. Ttnurnmn, which was read by Mr. ,Ed. munds, calling tor papers bearing on the re-1 moval of Sadge Shaffer, of the territory of I Utah, and said that in the provision confer-1 ring the power of removal on tiie president t there waa an express exception of Judges of the United States. These could be removed ■ only by and with the advice Aid consent of ttha senate. The question waa whether territtorial judges ware embraced in that language. The senator from Vermont knew that that' .question was an open one before the very committee of which he is chairman. hi coodnsionJMr Pugl said his object had keen to define t£e character of this conflict of authority between the president and the senate, and to fortify the view that had always been taken by the Democratic party , and to fortify' it by authorities commencing in the first congress and running down to fte latest period. Mr. Cleveland had mo fmm of an appeal to the people. He-was responsible to than. He supposed the majority in the Senate had no fear of annealing to the people in favor of the omnipotence of the senate. He knew the minority had none in appealing to USq people upon the omnipotence of the constittftion and the integrity of Mr. Cleveland's . administration. Death of a School Teacher. Newport, R L, March 11.— Mis* Mary- It Dennis, a prominent school teacher here for the past quarter of a century, died aged 63. She was a daughter of the late Judge Robert Dennis. A partial canvass of the city, among representative business men, shows conclusively that the strikers are not receiving the sympathy of the public as they did when they were out a year ago. There is no sign of weakening, however, and it looks as though an early settlement is not probable. No freight trains are moving, but passenger trains are running as usual. Lamar Kecommenda Bruce.
