A Dynamite Serenade Destroys New Jersey Depot
In Washingtonville Sussex County New Jersey a wedding celebration turned violent when a “skimmerton” of tin pans horns and blasts ended with a massive explosion that wrecked the nearly completed New York Susquehanna and Western railroad depot. Dynamite or nitroglycerine is suspected as the explosive used. Authorities and investigators traced blasts to a rocky cut and a bed of slate near the depot. The uproar frightened guests who fled and no one has confessed to participating.

Commercial Markets Quiet as Year Ends in Boston
Orrick of the Boston Daily reports a quiet closing in wholesale trade across goods from wool and copper to oils and provisions.
