October 8.—Thirty dead bodies were (ouud to-night ht a cold storage plant in tbe rear of an Ice cream factory on Eighth street. The same pines which were used in congealing the cream for table use were connected with a shed in the mar where they kept the bodies cool. The head* of the several colleges interested in the estab lishment asserted to-uig^t that the bodies wem obtained legiti mately from the peufeeatianea, insane asylums, and other issti tntioaa of the State of Kentucky. The building is a small one and is provided with nom irons ther mometers for maintaining the proper temperature. The bodies wem found in boxes and most of them were in a good state of preservation. The establishment la maintained bgr several Louis ville medical colleges. The heads of these institutions say they am given the bodies by tbe State with the understanding that they were to be held 30 days for identification. In order to assist in the identification the cold storage plant was establish ed as an arrangement between the Ice company and the ice cream plant. McKesson speaks AT CBEKKYVILLE.

Morgauton, spoke here yesterday at 1 o'clock to a good sized crowd, principally on State politics. At night he spoke to a still larger audience in the academy building, touching more on national issues. At night music was furnished by the ChenyviUe Cornet Band. Both of his efforts were able, effective, and ' well received. He is a man of information and knows how to handle a crowd. Hit tribute to tbe independent thinker and citizen in State and national affairs was as strong and beautiful aa language could make it; and tbe way in which ha illustrated its effects ia the historic development of the Old North State was admirable in deed. His remarks were not abusive nor offensive, but earn est appeals in a real business like way. He made friends for his party, and his references to Hiss and Pritchard were fre quently applauded. Mr. Hiss will- receive a good vote here. TftEMENMXJS EXPLOSION. Pawdar aad Dynamite Sat atf Naar Fact MUI, Suppaaedly by Pott Mill, S. C., Oct. 8.— Niue kegs of powder and two cases of dynamite were exploded last night at about 2 o’clock at the works of tbe Catawba Power Company. The report was terrible. Nearly everybody here was awakened by tbe explosion and all those who did got think it was an earthquake supposed it to be another safe robbery. A number of citizens were so fism ia tbe latter belief that they got up and went up to Main •treat to investigate. Seventeen window glass were broken in hoc house more than a mile from the scene of the explosion. Tbe cause is not known, but k is thought to be the work of sn incendiary. MUraEtrSjfKV MAIL TTAIA Thi UsiMl iMt* Ml fataal Schedule is the VarM-Tha rival Train t» ha Baa an the ISth. Chatted* Oh**rvtr. It la now said that the much talked-of fast mail train on the Southern road is to make its first trip South from Washington on Oct. 15th. Tha train is to wake direct connection at New Orleans with a fast train, the Sonset Limited, for San Fran cisco, establishing a fast mail root* from New York, on the Atlantic, to the Golden Gate on the Pacific, the fastest and long est mail route in the world. The new train, it is said, will carry a Pulnian coach ana passengers wiu be charged the usual excess fare. The average scheduled •peed between New York end New Orleans will be 41.3 miles. According to the latest an noncement, this train will leave New York over the Pennsylvania to Washington, then over the Southern to Atlanta, thence over the Atlanta & West Point and the Western Railway of Alabama to Montgomery, thence oyer the Louisville & Nashville to New Orleans. Th* distances are as follows: New York to Washington, 230 miles; Washington to Charlotte, 380 miles; Charlotte to Atlanta, 268 miles; Atlanta to Moatgom* ny, 321 miles; total 1,374 miles.

Correal Proof Garments af Qaezs ta 6iard CJactriciaas (ram Daager. Nvw Voik Tim. A dispatch (rum Berlin de scribes some electrical experi ments which may resnlt in a great decrease in the number of louses of life by live wire. The statement is made that Prof. Armetieff, who. is well known in electrical circles, has invented a a safety snit for electrical work ers, in which it is impossible to obtain a deadly shock of cur rent. The .principle of the safety dress is bated on the well-known property of electricity which makes it choose always the short est route in making a circuit. For instance, it is claimed that the safest place for a human be ing in the midst of a violent lightning storm is in the bowels of a battleship or in some other ponderous mass of metal, well grounded. Prof. Armetieff has made bis safety dress entirely of gauze, fine bat thickly woven. It com pletely incloses the wearer, in eluding his head, feet, and hands. It weighs altogether 3.3 pounds. Prom hand to hand its resistance is 0.017 ohms, and its capacity ranges from .002 to .00025 micro farads. Its cooling surface it enormous. A current oil 200 amperes can be passed through it from hand to band for a number of seconds without heating it in the least. Prof. Armetiefi proved the above by dressing in tbe suit and allow ing tbe currents to be sent through it, which arc much stronger, for instance, than those for executing criminals in Sing Sing. Clad in Ilia current-proof suit, the electrician stood uninsulated on the ground and drew sparks from a transformer, the second ary terminals of which were yielding a tension of 75,000 volts and a period of fifty cycles a second. That was enough to kill him bad he performed the feat unprotected, but he next seized tue main, which was the livest of wires imaginable, and not content with that be grasped the two generator terminals with both hands, drawing sparks from them meanwhile by reaching his hands to them and slowly draw ing them away. When he grasped the terminals of the generator there was a po tential difference between the two of 1,000 volts and a current of 200 amperes. The machine that supplied the transformer which Prof. Armetieff caught hold of in the first place had a capacity of 170 kilowatts. He declared be had not felt even a tremor of current, and certainly his being alive and well after taking a current that would have burned him to a crisp under or dinary circumstances corrobora ted his assertion. Tbe suit is said to be pliable in all its parts and capable of being worn by the electric arti san in any work he may be called upon to ao in tbe neighborhood of dynamos and live wires. Two Boys Killed by an Electric Carre ill. Ne« Vort Special to Baltimore 8m. Fredrick Peplo, a 9 year old boy, climbed a ladder against a pole at the corner of Atlantic avenue and Clifton Place, Wood faaven, L. I., and placed hie hands to a heavily charged electric light wire. A current of 2,000 volts passed through his. body killing him instantly. His fingers held tightly to the wire and suspended the body in the air. The ennent set him afire, and for a^half hour the body hung there and burned. Finally the current was turned off and a fire hoae waa placed on the de pending body to distinguish the flames before it could be taken down. Reinhardt House, bis com panion, climbed the ladder and took hold of Peplo’a feet. He waa immediately knocked to the ground. Hla feet, however, were still touching the iron ladder to which Peplo’s feet were communicating the current. His brother, Frederick Hotiser, ran to bis assistance, bat Rein hardt warned him away with; "Go away, Fred, you’ll die, too," Fred ran for his father, and when, he returned both boys were dead. The Mecklenburg Pair Asso ciation has paid all expanses of Its recent show and finds a neat cash balance on hand for next year. ___________ Mr. J. w.
