Wtall Emptying a Bottle of Powder the Explosion Occurs Several Employes Badly lunrcd. An explosion of flish powuer occurred at the chemical manufacturing establishment of Wiley & Wallace, No. 123 North Seventh street, Philadelphia, shortly before four o'clock in the afternoon, by which three men were instantly killed, one fatally injured and another seriously injured. A large Lottie of flash powder had been standing ou a shelf in the esttblisbuient for a to ig time, and Mr. Joseph Wiiey, a mem ber ol the firm, determined to gee rid of it ou account of its dangerous nature. He took the iottle to a tunic lit tbe rear of thi base ment, And catling to his assistance Charles Kineuoiior, a chemist, and Rudolph L.pp man, an employe, proceeded to pour th- stuff duwu the niuk. Riuedoilar heal a hose and played water on the compound as it ran from tbe bottle, and Lippimtn assisted Mr. H'iiey. William Kidd, another employe, ttood by and which-' tho proceedings. Jmt exactly how tbf explosion occurred will never be known, but it isteiieved that the powder, ou account of its age, was slow in ruuning from the battle, and tnac Mr. Wiley must have struck it against tbe sink to loos. n in. Im mediately th;re was a terriuh explosion, ac companied i y a neafeuing repot t, tbe force of wuica tfbuok the hous.s iu the neighbor hood. .

' Tbe chemist, Mr. Rinedollar, was twenty nine years old ar d unmarried. Lippman was nineteen, and K da is twenty-owe. Tbe explosion is probably indirectly tfse to a suit brought agaiust tbe Arm by the father of John V. Cruice, a sixteen year old boy, who lost his life about a year ago by an ex plosion of ft ish powder. . Voun Cruice was employed in, tbe laboratory, and, wuile be was huivilingsome of tbtt powder, it explod ed, killing iniii. Tbu father sues for damages, alleging that the Arm was negligent in at. owing a boy to handle o daugerou a compound. The case was up for tria. but was postponed, hud Mr. Wiley, on his return from court, declared that u wou d get rid of th powder then in tbe cellar, wuich was sonu left on hand after tbe t xplosion which killed Cru ce.

All night h r Btrugls and convulsions con tinued, but early in tbe morning she regain ed consciousness, and seemed to.le enjoying perfect rest. Eha was released from her straps and was conversing with her friends, who hoped tbatsbe would recover, when sud denly she sprang from the bed in a paroxysm of madness, ana attacked her attendants in such a ferocious manner that they fled in ter ror, locking the unfortunate young lady in the room alone. -, She stripped off ber clothe and tore them to threds, and tben scratched aud bit the walls, doors and window casings until she tore off all her finger nails and broke out her fioat teeth. Physicians were hurried y summoned, and on tbeir arrival they at once threw a blanket over her bed; and thus restrained her while they administer' ed chloroform.

The Government Loses 823,750,000 In Gold and Gains 934,000,000 lA sil ver Currency A llemarkable Year. 1 ' ': "; J. N. Huston, Treasurer, of the United Statrs, has made a long report to the Secre tary of the Treasury of the operations of his office during tin last fiscal ; ear .and iLe condition of the Treasury on Juno 39 last. The year is characterized os a remorkable one in the history of, public finances, both the revenues and expenditures have exceeded but few t.im;s since the foundation of tbe Governm.'nt. Tho former amounted to $337, 050,053, and the latter to $'SW,288,878, inclu sive of $17,292,323 paid in premiums on bonds purchased. The surplui revenues June I U0 weie t7,7Ul,(K5J, a decrease of $33,580,1U3, .as compurea witn the year beiore, couuting preunu;ns on bonds as an ordinary expendi ture. - On June oO, 13SS, there was in tbe Treas urer'a custody, in cah and effective credits, the sum of $'itii,72'.l,333, and a year later tbe sum ot $7uO, 043,87 1. The current liabil.tns decreased in thu interval trm $144,.01,347 to $13r,il,88J, ami the reserve from $, 80.j,CW to l'J3,v.U7,047. . The changes that took place m tue currency were au increase of about $34 OOO.OOti in the stock of silver, a contraction of 941,000,OdO iu the national Lank circulation and a loss of $S,Xa0,0'J0 ot gold. Tbe amount of tba iosi is less than 4 per cent. tne stock of gold aud is not con iderd significant in view of tbe increase of American visitors to Europe tbe pust season, aud the rapid influx of gold during the two years preceding tue last. Th ) total stock of t;old, sdver and circiliatiug noies was 2,085, $14,571 in 1888 aud f g,OU0,Ofij,71S in 1880. As the holdings ot tue Treasury descreaed in the interval iu the iuna of 41,000, 00J, the c.rculiiti jii increase 1 about 8,ouo,u00. The puulio lost $18,000,000 of Koldand $31,000, UJ0 of notes and gained $55,0JU,UUO in silver. Tb increase of. tne circulation of silver cer tilicat. kept pace with the rate for tbe two previous years. " During tbe year the national banks with drew $0:i,34J,V0J of tbeir bonJs held by the Treasury as security lor circulating notes or public moneys. Tue deposits amounted to &,243.70J, There remaiued attbeclosaof tbe year $144,11,4)0, belonging to bauks, as security lor circulation, and $4, 22,0110 Lelonging to '70 banks as security lor deposits. In tbe last ten year th number of active banks has increased nearly 60 per cent, wniie the amount of bonds bead to se cure tbeir notes has decreased .in about tbe same proport.on. The minimum, limit of bonds tor tbe present capital of the banks is only about fifty to sixty millions below tbe amount uow on depos.t. Tbe amount of pub lic moneys held by depositary banks ran down from 53,713.51 1. 11 to $47,250,714.39, the result matoiy of the voluntary acts of the banks in surrendering the deposits and withdrawing tbeir bonds. The semi-annual tax oa circulation amounted to $1,410,331 for the year. Iu proportion to tho circulation the bond redemptions were 'inusuaiiy heavy, out there has been a distinc'. falling off since February. An im estimation of the causes woich have produced th accumulation of funds iu the Treasury for the retirement ot tbesa notes leads to tbe conciusiou that unless unfavora ble co.iditions should arise the amount will continue to run down uutii it reaches an un important figure. , Tne report closes with some criticisms on the intenority of the provisions for the safe ty of the public lunds aud tbe conveniences tor the transaction of bus.nes-i, and makes certain rocomiueniatious for improvements in tuis respect, CABLE SPARKS.

Tho boys are to be placed in charge of an American missionary, and will probably be sent to school in Penn sylvania. It Is tbe King's custom to educate the sons of the noblemen and the princes of bis domain in various countries, and, wben they return to Siam, appoint them to high governmental positions. A HORRIBLE GALLOWS SCENE. Tne JToose ;ipw, nod the Murderer Shrieks While Suspended. At 10:3) o'clock in the mornin; Joseph M. Hill man was banged in the corridor of tbe county jail at Woodburry, New Jersey. The condemned youth spent the morning in singing and praying, bis spiritual advi sers b?ing with him from an early hour. Shortly after ten o'clock those permitted by law to witness the execution consisting of. the court jury of twelve, sheriff's jury of twelve, three experts and five newspaper representatives Sled into the little jail, and Hiilmau, very pale but preserving a firm demeanor, was brought from the cell, a min ister on either side of bim. He was taken to one corridor of tbe jail, where Hangman Vaubise, of Newark, pinioned bu arm with a stout strap aud placed the cap on bis bead, the oondemned man meanwhile praying. The procession to Ibe gailows then started. Wben the platform was reachel Hil. man's feet were securely tied, and then Sheriff R.dgway told him he might speak a word to tho prusent. H-tsaid, in a clear, loud voice: 'My irieuds, all I have to say is, that I am going to heaven. I want to say i hat my wif had nothing to do with tbo killing of Seidemau; I am iha only one who touched bim. I forgive all my enemies, and hope that all win forgive in-, 1 hope to meet you in heaven. Good-bye." Murmurs ot 'Goa have mercy on you' were heard as the sheriff pulled the black cap over the thin, pale face of the youth. A moment later tbottuer.ff pudad tbe trigger holding the 450- pound weight .on tbe other end o: the rupe, aud th) bojy shot up into the air a distance of fifteen leet. Then en sued probably one of the most horrible acenes ever witnessed at an execution. Tbe noose failed to tighteu, and tbe rope slipped around on the wretched man's neck. He groaned aud shrieked, and bis cries could almost be distinguished as be ttruggled with bis arms, aud finally succeeded in sufficiently freeing his hands io almost reach toe rope. Hang man Vanhlse stood by reaching up to tbe nooce, and finally succeeded - in getting it arouud so that the weight of the body rested oa the throat, and life was slowly strangle f out of the mau. The struggle lasted for two or three minutes, aud uutu the hangman got the noose under the chin. Many ot those present tnodgbt that the hanging man would have to be taken down and strung up a sec ond time, in order that the law might be lu ly Miisfie i. This horrible alternative was, fortunately, averted, as, after Vanhise reaojus;ed the noose, the struggles soon ceased. Af U r fifteen minutes the pnysicians announced that the heart bad ceased io beat, aud ten minutes later the body was cut down, placed in a coffin aud turu.d over . to the uead mau'j father. -. , The new crovvn wbJcla has been manurae1 lured for the German Emperor by tbe court jeweler weighs three pounds, and is adorned with a humuvd ttna diamond!!.

An exception is noted in . Omaha, where colder weather has stimulated seasonable business. Cotton is moving freely in Texas and Louisiana. At Louisville tine-bur ley tobacco is advancing, and tbe highest prices of the ssason ore recorded. Less tendency to stringency is reported in leading financial centres. West and South. ; I here has been a moderate improvement in mercanil.e collec tion at several points.

Tne relatively greater increase at thirty-six cities, exclusive ot rew Turk, is shown by the fact that wbilo tbe latter' tot il increased about 4,000,000,000 in ten months of this year over last, tbe total for thirty-six cities, comprising but one-third of the crand total, increased over $5,l0J,Ot0a0OO in tuo saruo period.
