Terrible Explosion OF Natural Gas at Muir

Some Fatally, and a Large Amount Of
Property Destroyed.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 20.-At $50
p. m. yesterday another appalling disas-

gas explosions. new gas well, known
as the McWilliamS well, belonging to
the CHARTERS Valley Gas Company, To-
Gated at Murraysville, was being turned
into the company's main line at that
point, when the connection suddenly
broke, and The gas escaped in such vol
umes that it almost instantly filled the
adjoining houses The gas ignited in
the house of William Taylor, and a
terrific explosion followed. The
house was shattered, and was.
soon wrapped in flames. The
inmates of the building, seven in number,
were quickly taken out and carried to
neighboring house. The fire communi,
Gated to four other buildings. including
the post office and store, and all were
totally destroyed. The fire ran back
along the pipe to the well, burning the
derrick and everything surrounding it.
The villagers were wild with fright, as it
was feared at one time that the entire
town would be consumed. The flames
were, however, confined to the five build
ings.
The victims of the explosion are as fol-
lows: VIM. Taylor, his wife and two
children; Mrs. Harry Taylor and three
children and Sallie Lacocke. One of the
Taylor children and Miss Lacocke are so
fearfully burned that they cannot live

AN OLD ScoRE.


A Long Standing Case of Urugusyan Bar.
barlty Toward an American Family
Brought to the Notice of the PRESIDENT
Chance For Little Diplomacy or Gun
powder.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The atten.
ton of the President has been called to a
very grave case where the rights of Amer.
lean citizens were seriously invaded and
the most revolving barbarity perpetrated,
without the least movement toward re.
dress. The story, as told in the very
complete reports to the State Depart.
ment, is briefly as follows: J. d. Hale, a
citizen of the United States, with his wife
and son went from California some years
ago to Montevideo, Uruguay. Mr.. Hale
was quite successful in business, and
finally established himself as hotel.
keeper
The people of that country evidently
became jealous of his success and covet-
ed his possessions. At length the whole
family were arrested and dragged to a
common corral prison. Mr., Hale was
handcuffed and harshly treated. His
wife was placed in small adobe house
in the Enclosure and abused by the keep
ers. The son approached these men and
asked that they desist, saying that the
prisoner was his mother. For this he
was staked down to the ground and left
in that condition for twenty.four hours
without food or drink.
After long imprisonment these people
received hearing before the courts anC
were discharged, as there was found tC
be absolutely nothing against them. In
the meanwhile they had been miserablN
plundered and suffered untold misery
All these facts have been known to the
authorities here for several years, bu
nothing has been done thus far. 1t il
thought the President will take prompt
action in the matter and demand that full
reparation be made. If this demand il
not complied with it will furnish a mic,
little expedition for some of the new
cruisers to go thither and try the effec
