HIs BroruBR CONSIDERABLY INJURED BY THE EXPLOSION oF Gas.—Yesterday morning a terrible explosion of gas took place in the County Clerk’s office, at the Court House, which resulted in the instantaneous death of R. H. Farquhar, County Clerk, and by which his brother, G. K. Farquhar, who was Deputy ~~ Clerk, was seriously injured. About 9 o'clock, A. M., a dull report, which sounded like the report of a heavy blast beneath the surface,was heard through. out the town, and almost immediately after the people were startled by, the ringing of the fire bells. Citizens has. tily repaired to the Court House, when the terrible truth was soon ascertained, An explosion of gas in combination with atmospheric air, had taken place ‘jn the fire proof vault in the Clerk’s office, and books, records and furniture were -cattered in every direction. The room was filled with smoke. Before any one entered, George K. Farquhar reached the door opening into the hall, evidently seriously burned and bruised. On being asked what the matter was, he said, “For God’s sake get R. H. out.” Marshal Cornell and others immediately repaired to the vault, and found the body of R, H. Farquhar lying with his feet just on the sill of the iron door which opens from the vault, and his head inside the vault. His.clothes were'torn in shreds, the cuticle burned from his forehead and his left atm was broken between the wrist and elbow, , He was terribly injured by the ftames, and sustained such bruises from being thrown against tho wall of the vault, that the physicians think death would have resulted from either burns or con. tusions. The death of this estimable . citizen and faithful public officer cast a deep gloom over the entire community, and as soon as it was, known, every business house was closed and several of the mills suspended work. ‘ George Farquhar received a slight cut on the forehead and.was considerably burned about the faceand hands. We. vigited him yesterday morning. His eyes were almost closed, and his hands, arms and face very much burned. He was suffering intense pain, but he seemed tobe unconscicus of his physical suffering inthe. poignant grief for the logs of his brother. An eXamination of the Court House . the lawn.

The window frames and'lights were broken, and the entire outer frame of the window opening to the front of the Court House was thrown out. upon office and the hall was standing out about two inches, and the stairway was pushed with it. The walls between the vault and the old Recorder’s office were . considerably cracked, and the whole building jarred. The door between the Clerk’s office and the, hall was broken up into fragments. The outer side frame of this door was driven across the hall, through the ‘Recorder’s office, ‘where it struck a desk and turned, breaking the lights out of the window. The damage to the building and furni500; G. K. Farquhar makes the following statement in regard ta the sad affair. Myself and brother arrived at the office at the usual hour, and I detected the odor of gas in the office but not more strongly than has happened before. I said to my brother, “R. H., you must have left the gas burning in the vault last night.” He said “did I go ‘home before you last night?” I called his attention to the tact that I left him writing a letter, and went to open the doors to the vault. I picked up a match after unlocking the combination on the inner door, and either lighted it on the iron’ safe where matches are kept, or on the inner casing of the door. I entered the inner vault and got nearly to the gas jet, which is in the back part, when the explosion took place. The odor of gas in the vault did not appear stronger than it was at the outer door. I do not know whether I was thrown into the outer vault or against the inner wall. The first I recollect. after the explosion fwas fighting the fire. I saw my brother lying apparently helpless, and hair being on fire, went to the outer door, and asked those standing there to get him out.” We give the substance of Mr. Farquhar’s statement without giving his precise words, The vault above alluded to, is a double one, having doxnble iron doors, opening into the first compartment, and a single door, locking with a combination, between the two rooms. In these vaults the valuable county records are kept, and as the officers have frequent use for them, the gas is kept burning low, generally during the day, being turned down when not in use. ~ The Clerk’s office is usually opened about 8 o’clock. When George Farquhar entered the inner vault, his brother who had followed him from the office to the vault, must have been standing near the door and received the full force of the concussion, while George, who was clock hanging up-on the wall, stopped at eleven minute’ before nine o’clock, indicating the time when the explosion took place. The gas must have been a want of pressure, or because, in the closely shut vault, the oxygen necessary to sustain the flame, was exhausted and the gas escaping to fill its place, combined in such proportions with the air on the opening of the inner vault door, to form a compound more explosive in its character. than gunpowder. This is one of those terribly without premonition, and here the suf. ferers are the most estimable citizens, and useful members of society. The result has cast a deep, sad gloém over the county, and the sorrow is keenly felt by all. i ELECTION Of OFFICERS.—At areguJ Cozzens do sad occurrences that sometimes come ebay bn co-partnershi is this day dissolved by mutual consent, E.
