This morning a fearful tragedy occured in the office of Messrs. Jewett, 182 f ront street, white lead manufacturers, where a bombshell exploded, instantly killing George W. Jewett, of rort JKichmond, etaten Island, bead or toe firm, and a son of John Jewett. Orville D. Jewett, a relative, and1 also a member of the firm, had his left hand shattered, and suffered internal injuries. Jde was taken to Chambers Street' hospital. Joseph A. Dean, of Orange, New Jersey, had his knee pan frac tured, .both Mr. Dean and U. D. Jewett refuse to make any statement of the par ticulars oi tne terrmie anair. ibe ex plosion occurred in the office on the sec ond floor. The windows are blown out, soot two inches deep is on the floor; and the office furniture is powdered to bite. Pieces of bombshell are in the room. The piBtois and dagger are at the police station. The body of Jewett lies in his private office, fronting on Burl ing slip. The corpse and carpet are bathed in gore. His lace was all blackened with soot, and bis bands were coal black. The Coroner is investigating the case. Portions of a conical shell, or band grenade, were found imbedded in the walls and ceiling of the room, and two revolvers and a dirk-knife were found on the floor. The scabbard and belt corresponding to one of the revolvers were found on the person of Orvill D. Jewett. Three clerks and a son of Mr. Dean were in an adjoining room at the time of the explosion, and were positive in their assertions that the shell had never been in place after the war. A few shells picked up on a battlefield were sent to members of the firm, who had them emptied into East river. The clerks Bay the shell must hay been brought to the office this morning by one of the injured men. The theory of the police is that George W. and Orville D. Jewett became involved in a dispute, and that the shell must have been used as a weapon. This theory is strengthened by the discovery of the revolvers and knife in the room. When one of the revolvers was found its barrel was warm, and one of the chambers empty, with an exploded cap on it. , Every effort was made to find out the cause of the explosion, but beyond the fact that the shell bad exploded nothing could be learned, as Mr. Dean, when asked for information, both by the police and reporters, merely answered, "Don't ask me." One theory advanced as to the cause of the explosion is that the shell was thrown into the grate with coal, and an other that it was a percussion shell and ex ploded while being carelessly handled. Orvill D. Jewett lemd in the army dur ing the late war, and it is stated the shell was kept by him in the once as a relic of the struggle. Others who profess to be familiar with the office deny the existence there of such a dangerous memento. Dean was able to be driven to hir residence in Waverly Place, but Orvill D. Jewett, who resides at Orange, New Jersey, was taken to Chambers Street Hospital, where late in the afternoon he was thought to be dying. A friend of the firm characterizes as cruel the rumor that the disaster was the result, in some indirect way, of disagreements among members of the firm. 8. F. Bawson, 64 Wall street, states tbathis firm were the legal advisors of O. D. Jewett, and know all of the facts, and that the rumor is without the slightest foundation! llecoad Dlspatohl New YoBjt, April 6. The Times to morrow will publish, from authentic source?, the true story of the explosion, revealing mat a diabolical crime was perpetrated by Orville D. Jewett, who was admitted to the firm of which his father, when alive, was a member b!x or seven years, simply because of that relationship. He has been somewhat wild, and paid little attention to the business, whioh seems not to be to his taste, He was absent the past winter,, yachting at Bermuda, and on his return recently, expressed a desire to withdraw from the firm. His partners did not want to make any change in the business, arid opposed bis retiring, but he persisted in the determination, and finally became so disagreeable that they conceded his request and agreed to pay him $200,000 for his interest. The necessary papere were drawn up and were to have been eigned to-day. Young Jewett, probably crazed with liquor, came to the office armed with a hand grenade, a pistol and a dirk. Some angry words passed and he pulled the grenade from his pocket and threw it on the floor. An explosion followed. The ancle was killed, his own legs broken, and he received three terrible wounds in the abdomen. He then drew the pistol and attempted to shoot himself through the head, but his aim was ineffective. He died thie evening in the hospital. Dean, who was injured by the explosion, is understood not to be in a dangerous condition. Collision on be Central PacirJe Railroad. San Fbahoisw, April f.Tt-Early yesterday morning express train No. 2, westward bound, on the Central Pacific Railroad, collided with special freight train, about a mile from Cascade, pear the summit. Each train was drawn by two engines. Tba collision occurred in a snow lt)d and the engine were piled one on another, the rear of the tank of the first engine of the passenger train and the front of the second engine being forced up until they protruded through the roof of the shed. The shook of the collision threw the passengers and train men in every direction; but none of tbem suffered broken bones, though several were badly bruised, G. Burt, the engineer of the bead locomotive on the express train, was lound on Lus seat dead, rtis nreman, John Wright, was badly scalded.. John Warren, the engineer of the second express engine, was severely scalded and died in a short time, aa did his fireman, F. Maxwell, who was crushed. Both the passenger and , head freight engines were badly broken. Otherwise there was no serious damage to either train. The wrecking train sent dp will take perhaps ten hours to clear the track. It is supposed the engineers of the express train forgot orders they had received to wait for the freight train at Cascade. An engine and nine freight cars are reported ditohed near Midway station. Indictments at Cblca. Sam Fbanouco, April 5. A press dispatch from Orrville says the grand jury to-day presented a report, after a brief session of three and a half days. They find Indictments against E. R. Roberts. John and (Jnarles Slaughter, T. M, Stainbrook and F. E. Conway, for the murder of by each of four Chinamen killed at Lemm's rancbe, near Chico: for arson against Wright, Jones, Fay, the three slaughter boys, Koberts and (Jon-way; and for attempt to commit arson against Robert, John and Charles Slaugh ter and Hilderbaum. Ihose charged with arson will probably be arraigned on eat urday, and the trials will commence on the 16th inat. The report of the grand jury closes in these words: ''We find there has been in existence in our midst an organized band of incendiaries and assassins, whose crimes may be com pared to these of the worst criminals ever brought to Justice, and we believe that some of them are still at large. We urge upon those whose duty it is, to pursue with relentless vigor every clue to their identity and punishment." A great deal of dissatisfaction is ex. pressed at what is considered the hasty and specific manner in which the jury nas conducted its inquiry, very little ef fort having been made to secure the in dictment of a number of prisoners, in eluding several members of the Council of Nine, who nave been set at liberty and have returned to Chico. A corre spondent hints that by virtue of their presence there additional items of inter est may soon be expected. Arrest of the Bender family, Fobt Smith, Abk., April 5. The Kansas deteetives passed through Fort Smith yesterday, en route for Kansas, with the supposed Bender family, arrest ed in Crawford connty on Tuesday. The family went under the name of Keofer, They were arrested by a Mr. Beard, of fi.au Baa, a private detective, upon a requi sition from the Governor of Kansas upon the Governor of Arkansas. .Beard is the man who discovered the tyodies of the murdered York and others, on Render's place, in Kansas in 1872. He followed the family down the Atlantic and Pa cific road to Pierce City, Mo., and thence to f ayetteville, in this atato. The family separated at Fayetteville, but reunited at ' the houee of a son of old man Bender, on Cedar creek, where they engaged in agricultural pur- iiils. After satisfying himBelf as to the identity of the family, Detective Beard proceeded to Kansas. The Governor of fered a reward of $2500, and a requisition for George Keofer, alias John Bender, Lena Keofer, alias Kate Bender, Mrs. Keofer, alias Mra. Bender, and Phillip, alias John Bender jr. The arrests were made quietly by the Sheriff, the only resistance being by Kate, who drew a shovel on the Detective and attempted to get a pistol, hut she was prevented from doing anything. The whole party deny they are . the Benders. All the circumstances are so strong that every one in the locality where the arrests were made believe they are the real Bender family. Keofer made a good citizen, but rested under suspicion ever since his residence in Crawford. They came into the county on foot, one at a time, but the old man Boon commenced buying (arms and agricultural implements, always having plenty of money to pay his way. Since they left Kansas Kate has become the mother of two children. Abe lotbscblld In tba Texan Officers. Hands of . Cincinnati, April 6. In the case of Abe Rothschild, who Is accused of having some time ago murdered Bessie Moore, at f Jefferson, Texas, and was here awaiting extradition proceedings, Judge Matson this morning dismissed the writ of habeaB corpus. Sheriff7 Ws"ace. on the advice of his attorney, turned Rothschild oyer to the Texas authorities, in obedience to the order of Judge Avery, in the dismissal of the writ when the question was argued before him in the first place. Rothschild was quietly taken charge of by Deputy Vine, of Texas, quickly transferred to a carriage in waiting near the entrance to the jail, and driven, it is supposed, in the direction of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, to get the advantage that the three States of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky at that point, would give. BothBChild's attorney and friends knew nothing of the movement till it was too late to intercept it. Second Dispatsh.) Cjnpinnati, April 6. The Texas officials in charge of Abe Rothschild took him to Dawrenceburg, Indiana, to day, and left there to-night for Texas with the prisoner. Attempted Abduction of an hip W o in i ii in Iowa.

The readings and recitations of the Scotts last evening, at the Town Street M. E. Church, drew out a small but very appreciative audience. The attendance was not onehalf so great as it should have been, and those who staid away missed a rare treat. Mr. Scott's reading of Will Carleton'a "Betsy and I are Out," and Buchanan Read's "Drifting," were alone worth more than the price of admission. "Over the Hill to the Poor House" was recited in fine style by Mrs. Scott.
