How the Clerk OF the U. S. Courts at

investigation into the accounts of Clerk Am
brose of the United States Court is, reaching
some very damaging exparte facts. AT one
time the Postottice Department gave him a
Job of making a stenographic report which
was done by his deputy, Ambrose receiving
for it S24S, while the deputy received his pay
by an increase of $50 on half years service.
The same thing was done in case of short
hand work given Ambrose at the time of the
appraisement of the old government building.
j. NJ. Matthews on Saturday made affidavit
that about January LIST last he signed blank
check for services where the amount paid him
was $780, and that the receipt shown him by
the special agent for $S7.40 was the same he
signed before it was filled up.
An attorney with large practice in the U.
S. Court states to Commercial reporter that
the aggregate receipts of the clerks Office are
at least $4,000 more annually than the sum of
$1,000 returned to Washington by Ambrose for
both District and Circuit Courts. Some place
the annual receipts as high as $4,000. Am
brose has been clerk for seven years and the

FATAL EXPLOSION.
A Candy Factory in Kansas City
Blown Up.
SEVEN EMPLOYEES KILLED.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. s.-The extensive
cracker and candy mandatory of earle q
Sons, corner of Second and Main streets, occu-
plying four brick three story buildings tum,
bied down, ignited and were completely CON
sumed yesterday. At the time the accident dent
from - to 20 years old, were in the factory, all
of whom escaped except seven. The cause OF
the accident cannot be fully determined, but
as an explosion occurred simultaneously with
the fall of the walls, it is supposed to be repe-
tition of the accident in New York last year, a
starch explosion. AS soon as the news spread
parents and friends of the employed flocked to
the scene. AS soon as the fremen had sub
dued the flames, they set to work digging for
the dead and at last accounts had found the
bodies of Louis Hummell, Andy Mcconnell,
George Kemper, JOHNNY Kemper, Ed Shutten,
Louise Hummell, Annie Mcconnell and Miss
Goepher. The loss is estimated at $4,000.
Owing to heavy rains but little progress has
been made in excavating the ruins At the
coroner's inquest the preponderance of testi-
mony was to the effect that the accident was
caused by the explosion of starch dust.

long IS, struck large iceberg. The night
was very dark and the iceberg was not per-
ceived until it was too late to lessen the speed
of the vessel materially. The result of the
collision was considerable damage to the bow,
and although it was found on examination
that there was no leakage beyond the bulk
head it was considered more prudent to make
for port and repair damages before proceeding.
