Th Tam certain he will tell yon |e for. A dreaaful catastrophe occurred to three men on Wednesday of last week in Matic township, Lancaster county, Penmsylvania. A man named Philip Cramer and his two sons, James and John, went out into the woods to cut wood, going in their couse above the railroad Not returning home when dinner time arrived, search was at once instituted, when the horrifying fact became. known that two of them, the father and son James, had been blown to atoms, shreds of flesh and bits of bone being picked np for squares away from the scene of the disaster, John, the other son, was found dead im a shed near by, where it is supposed he had crawled to die. How the accident occurred, will never be positively known, hut it has been ascertained that the railroad hands 1. ft aninety-six pound can of nitro-glycerina standing which is supposed to have frozen and in that state, it is said, the explosive pawers are more severe than ever. Fa chop- ping the tree a chip thrown against the case would have been sufficicnt to cause the gly- cerine to explode, und 1t is probable that this is the way the affair occurred. The force of the explosion was so great that a hole was rent in the earth sufficiently 'large for a four horse teamto stand without being seen. --Ex ------ The Result. _ The election of Lorne, now for-Lorne Mc- Douygat has been voided for south Renfrew as represntative of that riding for the Commons.
