Disastrous Fire in Antwerp,

Dynamite exploded in the Corvileran car
fridge factory in Antwerp Belgium, killing
and injuring hundreds of persons and
doing much damage to property. Portions
OF the bourse were struck by burning frag.
ments and set on fire, causing q panic in the
building, which at the time was crowded.
The cartridge factory was situated behind
the docks upon which millions of cartridges
were being loaded. 1t was adjacent to the
petroleum stores and tBo large Russian De-
troleum warehouses were set on fire and are
now burning.
The flames shoot up to an immense height
Amid the roar of the flames there was q con-
tinuous succession of loud reports, supposed
to be from the ignition and explosion Of
packets OF cartridges.
The latest estimate is that there are 300
dead and 900 injured. The explosions con-
tinue. At the American docks all the ships
have been saved owing to the favorable di-
rection OF the wind. The stained windows of
the cathedral are smashed, and it is feared
that the steeple will collapse. The whole vi
cinity is strewn with debris. The dock sheds
and hydraulic crane are greatly damaged.
The factory has been condemned BY the
communal council, but the deputation per-
manent had allowed work to continue The
victims are mostly factory girls. Windows
three miles distant were shattered by the
explosion. The scenes at the hospitals are
heart-rending. King Leopold has sent tel
egram expressing sympathy and asking for
particulars. The people are incensed at the
deputation permanente for allowing work to
continue in the factory.
Many men and women were in the shop,
and they were actively engaged in breaking
up the old cartridges. There were fully 25,-
600, 900 of these in and about the premises,
part of them already broken up. The
flames covered two acres OF ground and run
to an immense height. Amid the fierce roar
of the flames were heard from time to time
the loud reports of explosions These ex.
plosions were supposed to be OF rackages ol
cartridges stored in the building, which
seemed to remain intact until the hot ton.
gues of flame were actually upon them.

A Determined Attempt at Suicide.

One of the most determined attempts at
suicide ever heard OF was made last night by
Lena Hertzog, seventeen years old, who re-
sides with her parents in williamsburg near
New York. The girl is comely brunette,
plump of form and OF pleasant appearance
She was passenger on the ferry boat from
Brooklyn to New York city When the boat
reached the Grand street ferry Miss Hertzog
came ashore, but Immediately returned and
paid her fare, and once more took a seat in
the bin. The boat had not vet cleared the
slip when one of the deck hands saw the girl
walk rapidly out of the cabin toward the
stern OF the boat For a moment she stood
still and then suddenly swung herself clear of
the east rail and disappeared. The deck
hand gave the alarm and the boat was i'm
medlately stopped. Inside of q few seconds
lie preservers, ladders and Iopes were called
into requisition. The electric light made
things as clear as day. The first life preserver
thrown tell close to the girl, but she pushed
it away, with an angry gesture. The noise
and shouts attracted the ticket chopper,
james Kelly, who is an expert swimmer, and
has already saved thirteen people from
drowning. He jumped into the river, seized
the girl by the waist and lifted her bodily
up SO that she might breathe. The girl

herself from his grasp. Kelly held
on however, and made for the
slip A desperate struggle followed; the half
drowned girl seemed to gain new strength
and shefought like tigress. When near the
slip ropes were thrown Kelly, who caught
one and wound it around the body of his
charge' but it was quickly thrown of. This
the girl repeated three times, and then seiz-
ing her rescuer by the arm savagely bit him.
Kelly was becoming exhausted and saw that
II the girls life was to be saved violence
would have to be used, 80 he was compelled
to beat her into submission. The blows had
the desired effect for time but when an at
tempt was made to lift her upon the ladder
she broke out afresh, but was finally landed
wet, limp and exhausted. This water battle
lasted fully fifteen minutes When stimu.
lants were offered tho girl, later on, she
threw the glass from her and smashed it.

HOSTILITY EXPLAINED
The Times says: ~There are those who
know the cause of Mr.. Abbott's treatment.
Last May the interstate commerce commis-
sion summoned befo-e IL at Washington all
the passenger officials and association chair
men In the country for the purpose of find
ing out II the law was being complied with.
Among the many who were called upon to
testify before the commission was Chairman
Abbott 10 came out that members of the
Western States Passenger association had
employed private detectives to ferret out
irregularities and violations of the rules OF
the chairman. BY this means Mr.. Abbott
had come in possession of much information
concerning secret manipulations of passen-
ger rates, collusion with scalpers, etc, all OF
which he was compelled to reveal to the
commission when pat on oath. A number
OF the Western roads were thus placed iE a
bad light, and while few had the backbone
to take their medicine others have been pa
ttently waiting the opportunity to punish
Mr.. Abbott for daring to tell the truth
Moreover they professed the greatest friend
ship for him until the hour came to strike.
