after the explosion occupied four hours The
number OF those injured by the explosions is as

At the Tower, six injured seriously and'fourteen
slightly; at the Parliament building, four eeri
Ously and ten lightly. The worst injuries re-
ceiyed by Constables Cox aud Cole, and a civil
engineer named Edwin Green, visiting the Par
lament buildings. Over one hundred visitors
were in the House of Commons when the explo-
sion occurred in Westminster Hall. Most OF them
rushed out OF the building, ana thus many lives
were saved.
The news of the Introduction in Congress OF
bill. by Senator Edmunds, TO prevent and punish
dynamite conspirscies in the UDited States, has
had splendid effect in turning aside the bitter
ness of feeling against America which has been
engendered by the explosions.

4 MACHINE OF DEATH.
PerfectiOg a Contriyance for the Use of
DYnamiters


HUNTINGDON, PA, March 3.-Three
men, two of them names unknown. but
evidently German and an American, the
third Frenchman, giving the name OF
M. Faurnand, who has but recently ar
rived from Paris, have for several days
been experimenting in a secluded portion
of the Diamond Valley with machinery
for the more certain use of nitrO-glycer-
Inc and other highly explosive COM
pounds.
The trio quietly took their departure
Westward on the afternoon train. The
American had been here with a party in
December last, who at that time made
several tests of compound called nitro
petrOllne, but on this occasion neither he
nor the German could be induced to EN-
gage in conversation.
THE FRENCHMAN's STATEMENT.
The Frenchman, however, in order to
secure necessary information, was obliged
to cOntide, though guardedly, in two or
three persons. He claimed to be the in
ventOr of the machinery he was testing,
and when perfected will receive an i'm
mense sum of money for it from the Nj
hillsts of Russia, the InternatiOnals in
Germany and France, and the dynami,ers
in America.
The contriVance consists OF wick satu-
rated with highly infiammable wax and
coiled concentrically on a roller. 1t is
controlled by a spring, which, in turn, is
governed by clOck-work gearing. The
part last unwOund burns with a flash,
Igniting the explosive. with which it com
municates. The time is controlled by the
length Of the wick or fuse. The object is
now to regulate its burning, which has
been very nearly accomplished, as sew
eral very satisfactory explosions were Sc
cured.
The American and the German are
agents of the societies that employ NJ.
Faurnand and are to report upon the re-
suits. They go from here to Pittsburg,
and from there to Cincinnati and Chicago.

DYING of Hvdronhohia.

NEW ORLEANS, March 2.-James Reed
died IN this city this morning of hydro
phObia, after suffering terrible agonies.
About ten months ago he was bitten by a
small dog in the feshy part of the left
hand, just below and between the thumb
and index finger. The wound was about
a quarter OF an inch deep, bled prOtusely,
and healed in nine days. Instead of hav-
ing the wound cauterized or attended by
a physician, Reed saturated it with tur-
pentine, and, as it healed, he paid no
more attention to it. He was taken sick
on Thursday. His disease first showed
itself when he was endeavOring to wash
bis hands, which he found it impossible
to do. The characteristics of the malady
were more like delirium tTemens than
hydrOphObia, the sick man insisting that
he was being devoured by dogs and
snakes. 1t was found necessary to chain
him to the bed yesterday, when he became
very violent. COnvulsion after convulsion
followed each other until he expired of
exhaustion,

The Vast Fortune that Awaits Mrs.
Leopold Gumprich, of New York.
NEW YORK, March Mrs. Leopold
Gumprich, of 234 East Seventy-sixth

traveller of middle age, is heiress to a vast
Engllsh fortune. Gumprich married his

many, where the cOurtship was carried
on. In the wife's family there was a ira
dltion of rich AUNT ROsalie" living in
England. 1t now appears from papers
certified to by Count Herbert Bismarck
while Secretary of the German Legation
IN London, that the heirs OF one ROsalie
Levi are entitled to a fortune Variously
estimated at from $50,O00,OOO to $75, ,OOO..
600. That Mrs. Leopold Gumprich is
one OF these fortunate heirs, and will
sooner or later come into a property of
between $l,OOO.OOO and $2,000,000 there
seems to be no doubt.
Toward the close of the last century
Rosalie We'll, a professional nurse, went
from Germany to Italy, and there met a
wealthy English Hebrew named Jesua
Levi, who, being in bad health, married
her In order to have somebody to take care
of him. He died a few years later. leav-
ing MS entire fortune to his wife. In 1903
Mrs. Levi died, and the English Court of
Chancery took charge of her property and
deposited the money, which then amounted
to $2,OOO,OO0, in the Bank of England. BY
the natural increase from interest this
sum has now reached the enormous fig
ures above given. Recently the Court OF
Chancery, impressed by the magnitude of
the sum, has, of its own vOlition, stirred
about to find the rightful claimants, and
1t seems now but a question of a few
months before the property is divided
among those to whom it belongs. Mrs.
Levi had no sisters and but one brother
Hirsch We'll, who left but one daughter.
Her name was Lea We'll, and she married
Emanuel Frank. They had nine children.
All of these nine children married and
left issue with the exception of one
daughter, who is now over 80 years of
age. Mrs. Gumprich is the daughter Of
one of these nine children. Her share
will be at least $I,5OO,OOO, and it may be
vastly greater.
