Henry Vidmer waa Instantly killed and two other men were wounded by the premature explosion of powder blast at West Rock quarry yesterday morning. The accident ooourred about 9 o'clock. The quarry Is on the northeast side of the rock, and the quar- rymen blast out sections from the face of a ledge of solid stone that rises perpendicularly about sixty feet. The fatal charge was located about nine feet below the top of the ledge.

Vidmer was about Retting ready to fire the fuss when tha premature explosion came It sent great masses of stone of all sizes all around, and the eight or nine men working down below before they had time to think found the heavy masses flying all about them. C. W. Blakeslee, proprietor of the quarry, was among them. For a great wonder only one of the men at the base of the rock was injured.

This was George Tohler, of Westville, who was struck in the leg. He was able to walk home with assistance. Those who escaped injury were C. W. Blakeslee.

George Fleury, Daniel Doherty, John' Hussey, George Waites, Fred Delflnger, August Johnson and Unarles Ldndeen. Vidmer and his helper Rourke were olose by the blast when the explosion ooourred. The former was killed outright.

It was picked np several feet from the body.

His face was badly burned with powder and there were severe bruises about his arms and other parts of his body. He was removed to tne Hospital in a semi-unoonscious condition lie probabilities are against bis recovery. Itonrko is ft!) years old and lives at No. Vine street.

He has a wife and two chll ren, and like Vidmer bos been a quarryman lor some time. Coroner liollman Investigated the case. Tbo most plausible theory advanoed was that a blunt iron instrument ia Vidmer' band, with which he packed home the charge of powder, struck Are, which ignited tbe powder. Other witnesses testlQsd that Vid mor met with an accident in the same way 20 years ago. No sure way of preventing such accidents was known.

Even with the utmost care such acoldent might happen. A verdict of accidental death was rendered. 'i'lio funeral of Vidmer takes place this af ternoon from hi late residence on Hill street, Westville. Ho wa fill year of ago and a native of Valleynesons, France. The Htratfortl Murder.

William H. Bogart, a bookkeeper for ten years past in the cartridge room at tha Win chester armory, was found apparently dead in his bed on the steamer Continental yesterday morning. An empty bottle of laudanum lay near tha body. Dr. F.

H. Whittemore waa sent for and found Uf ot yet extinct. Great efforts to rouse the man from his stupor were made for three hours, and at nine o'olock he roused a little and was taken to the hospital in the hospital ambulance. At the hospital further efforts were made to save the unfortunate man, and the electric battery was need. He died, bow.

ever, at about three o'clock. He had been laboring under desDondency oaused by the loss of his wife, whom he married a year ago, and had been drinking heavily. He went to New York several days ago, and re turning took passage home on the Continental. He took several drinks of whiskey before retiring and complained of ill success in-life, and said the spirit of his wife was beckoning him to join her in the spirit land. He was remonstrated with by friends who saw that he was very despondent.

Bogart then wagered 4 to 1 that he would be dead by morning. He soon after retired to his berth. Beside the laudanum bottle found in his berth (which was labelled "Laudanum, R. W. Storer, Dixwell there were two other bottles, one labelled "Sweet Glycerine" and containing a little of that liquid.

and the other having a quantity of some dark fluid aad labelled "Poison." Deceased had lived for seme time at 148 Division street.

this heading more significant than at present. Notwithstanding a most disastrous fire, this has been a year of good fortune to us. So was last year. So were all the previous thirty years of our residenoe in this city. Good fortune added to good fortune naturally inspires us with the most oomfortable confidence in the future.

We bave not only oonduoted the most successful business ever inaugurated on this oontinent.but we have extended its scope, yearly addi jg new departments, each of which has justified its existence from its very Inception the result of whioh has been a very large increase in the trade as a whole. As regards the interests of our customers, the view is equally gratifying. The people of New England buy from us for a multiplicity of reasons sometimes for mere convenience, be cause they can bay so many things they happen to want under one roof and again because of the unusual liberality of our terms of sale (an example that we are told has worked a great reform in the general practice of merchants here) sometimes because of special confidence in our goods, in several ways First, the freshness of all our offerings, due to the rapidity with which our stocks are turned. Seoond, to the genuineness of the same, due to the skill we employ in gathering them. Thirdly, to the frankness we display in telling exactly what they are.

Fourthly, to the sense of the actual responsibility we bear for their being preoisely what they are said to be. Everybody buys from us from some proper consideration of his or ber own interests. We have tha past year passed through a season of trade that has taxed our facilities to their nttermost limits. We have borne it as wa have' simply because it was coming to an end so soon. Every person in oar employ has been faithful to his or her duties.

But the pressure so brought to bear npon our organization has boen successfully borne. There has been less friction, fewer mistakes: less oomplaint in this time of unexampled haste, than the most sanguine could have anticipated. The reason is simply this From the start we have looked all difficulties squarely in the face, and held ourselves np to a high standard of promptness During the oomlng year the same opportunities for growth and development will contin ue, the same feelings and purposes will animate we believe we shall deserve better than ever your conQdenoe and good will, and command more forcibly than ever tbe trade of a discerning people within trading distriots. We shall, from time to time, inaugurate those grand clearing soles that have always proved of so great Interest to our patrons, and have always called forth a just response by a most liberal patronage. The Weber Grand Piano and Shoninger Organ, that for the past four months have been on exhibition, will soon be awarded.

We have also decided, in order to bring our Crockery, Gloss and Silverware department in to still greater prominence, to place on exhibition for competition a magnificent SILVER TEA SET and an ELABORATELY DECORATED DIN-NKH SET.

Though "Wilsonia" hta produoed equally wonderful results in all diseases (whioh we have abundant testimony to prove) it is not yet our intention to insure tbe cure of all diseases our reason is that as there are conditions in whioh a positive cure oould not be ef footed, and as our agent at New Haven is not a physician, he could not in all casos determine when a guarantee should not be given.

We will therefore at present take four forms of diseases, viz Catarrh, Dyspepsia, involving the Liver. Constipation and llhAiimnh'an.
