This is to be made by taking off a portion from the reading roon and the partition has already been erected. A Slight Fire. The one story frame dwelling on the South side of Walnut street, between Seventh and McRae, caught fire on the roof at about a quarter past 2 o'clock this afternoon, caused by a spark from the chimney. A goneral alarm was given, but the flames , were extin guished by the ' neighbors, the only damage being Ihe burning of a small hole in the roof. The house is occupied by a colored family whose names we did not learn. (- At tlie Opera House.

The dates will be given hereafter. ; Second Crop, Mr. Garrett Walker, who lives on Middle Sound, in tbis county, has for a number of years devoicd v much of his time to the cultivation of fruit, and es pecially tograpes.and has been remark, ably successful thus far in his efforts. At tbe store of Capt. J. B. Huscgins this morning, we" saw several baskets of grapes that were raised by Mr. W&lker which wero of the second crop fro mho same vines this year.. They were of the Concord and lyes , varieties" and were , as full, fair and yell developed as those of the first crop . .. :' Powder Explosion and Shock ing: Accident. At about half past 10 o'clock this forenoon a terrific explosion of powder occurred on tho West side of Front street.Just North ot Messrs Giles & Murchison's hardware and crockery stores, and as- the dense volume of smoke rolled away people were seen running in every, direction to escape from what appeared like a fearful im pending danger. A moment later there was a return to the scene, to find young Charlie Smith, son of Mr. James C Smith, scorched aod blackened with powder and with his clothiDg torn into shreds, lying upon a pile of lumber near the middle of Front street, where he had been blown by the explosion. He was taken up tenderly by strong and pitying bands and carried across the street and into Messrs. P. L. B ridge rs & Co's store, where in a few moments Drs. W. G. Thomas. G. G. Thomas, W. J. Love and C I). Peck ham were in attendance and rendering every possible aid to the sufferer, and after dressing his wounds he was placed in the U. S, Marine Hospital ambu lance and conveyed to his home. It is impossible at present to tell what will be the result of his injuries, though it is thought that, it he escaped iuternal in juries, ho may recover. There is a probability that he will lose tho sight of one of his eyes and, possibly both of them. Fortunately no bone3 were broken, and his most apparent injuries were upon his face and arm?, which were badly burned. No other injury lo persons was caus ed by the explosion, but a great many panes of glass in the immediate vicinity aad especially on the opposite side of the street, were shattered. Nearly every pane of glass on the front of the the second and third stories of Messrs G. R. French & Sons, P. L. Pridgers & Co, D. A. Smith & Co. and McDoug- ald & BowdenV stores were broken besides many of those on the first floor, which wero mainly large plate glass windows and quite expensive. Several panes of glass were also broken out in the residence of Mrs. Quince, immedi ately North of McDougald and Bow den's and also in Dr. E. S. Pigford's of fico adjoining. On the West side of the street one of the large plate glass win dows of Messrs Giles & Murchison's crockery store was broken, and several panes ot glass were shattered in one of the North windows on the second floor A curioes freak of the explosion was the breaking of two plate glas3 inside windows in the office of tho Orton House, which is on the second floor of the building. Those windows were in separate sliding frames and for the purpose of giving light,' and an oppor tunity of observation from the office to the wide passage way of that floor, and while one ot them was thrown outward into the hall and broken, the other was thrown with equal violenco into tho office to meet the same fate. Immediately after the explosion,' and as if by magic, a dense throng had gathered in the street near the scene and the most intense excitement pre vailed. The cause of the explosion is yet a mystery. Messrs. Giles & Mur chison. by whom Mr. Smith was employed, have kept a small supply of powder in a small, air tight enest, which has always been kept securely locked. The powder kept in this chest has always been in air tight, hormet ically sealed tin cans, and the utmost care and vigilanco have always been exercised io order to prevent the possi bility of .an accident. This morning Mr. Smith had gone to the chest to deposit a can of powder, had unlocked it and placed the powder therein, when the explosion took place. Strange to say, there were two other , cans of powder in the chest, neither of which exploded, although they were badly battered. It is impossible to form any plausible theory of this accident. There was no fire anywhere about the chest and if there had been there was no loose powder with which it could have coai municaled. Even had there been some loose powder in tbe chest and had it been ignited there is no probability that an explosion would haye oc curred for the., fire could not have communicated with that in tbe air tight, cement lined . kegs. In this dilemma the most absurd, theories seem really the most plausible for there is really nothing whatever to base any theory upon. At tho present time the affair is a complete mystery. There is nothing to show anything like careless ness, in the handling of this . powder. For years it has been kept in the tight iron chesis. with the consent and ap proval of the city authorities, and every precaution, possible is used in handling it.. A keg is never opened in the street, only in the store, and then with the utmost caution, and it is always her metically sealed before it i replaced in the chests, of which there are two keys, one kept at the store, and the other in the . possession of the Chief of the fire Department. It is a busy scene now in Capt. Mc Intire's large dry goods housejon Front street. Tho entire force is kept busy night and day, opening the large stock intended for the Fall and Winter trade. We note especially a large lot of hand some windo w shades, an entirely ne w line of goods which aro being ""Offered there. - - . - - -- - . A telegram received here this morn ing from Savannah announces the death in that city last night, of Mr. John Judge, a former res dent and merchant of this city, bu for some years past doing business in Charleston and Savannah.
