Two Men Killed by Terrimc Nitro.Gly-

Two Men Killed by Terrifsc Nitro-Gly-
cerine Explosion.
BUTLER, Pa, Dec. 1O.-At 9:l5 this fore
noon BUTLER was shaken from the center
to the circumference by nitro-glycerine
explosion at the Butler Torpedo COM
pany's magazine, two miles east of town.
The explosion occurred while some cans
were being put into wagons at the factory.
James Q. Wood and VIM. Medill and their
wagon and teams were blown into un-,
recognizable fragments. The woods in the
vicinity of the magazine are being searched
by hundreds Of men for the two who were
killed and great excitement prevails. A
larger part Of the factory buildings are de-
m0lished and crushed down and only the
smoke stack remains intact. The rafters
Of the magazine fell down over the glycer-
inc but it did not explode. Woods shoulder
arm and right legs have been found twenty
rods away. A small part of Medills
trunk was taken from the top of a tree.
The theory is tnat Woods let q can of the
explosive drop when handing it up to
Medill: A great hole was made in the
ground where the wagon stood.

THE EIMBER CULTURE Law
Will Probably be Repealed During the
Present Session Of Congress.


WASHINGTON, Dec. H. [Special.1 =
There is strong inclination on the part of
the western congressman to repeal the
timber culture law and give those who are
now attempting to comply with it the priv
ilege of making proof and paying the
usual government price, $L25 per acre. It
is claimed that in the states which of late
years have been visited by drOuth, tree
culture, to the full extent required by law.
is an impossibility. Owing to the lack of
moisture the trees will not grow and this
leaves the way open to contest and an ex-
pensive litigation is the result. It Is be-
lieved that bill can be formed that will
fully protect those who succeeded during
the wet seasons of 1883, '84 and 's5 in
raising the necessary or legal number Of
trees and at the same time release others
who are struggling against the elements
from further annoyance and expense and
give them title to the land which they have
earned five times over. The adoption of q
successful irrigation system in the arid
region would naturally encourage tree
planting and the several states could also
induce farmers to cultivate trees by law
remitting the taxation upon lands SO cult

Centennial Exercises.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-In pursuance Of
resolution adopted by congress in Feb
ruary last, the two houses met in the hall
OF representatives to-day to hold centen,
nial exercises in commemoration of the in:
auguratiOn Of the first president. This
was in the nature of great centennial
celebration on the SOth of April in the city
of New York, where President Washing
ton first took the oath Of his high office.
1t was a gathering of nations. All were
officially represented. Added to these
were delegates from the Central and South
American republics accredited to the PAN
American congress now in session, and
members of the marine conference. There
were also present the governors of about
twenty states, drawn for consultation in
regard to a memorial to congress for the
erection Of centennial building at Phiia-
delphia that was first suggested at a meet
ing of the governors Of the original thir-
packed. Vice President Morton took the
speakers chair and at O'clock called the
the two houses to order in Joint session.
The marine band which was stationed in
the south corner rendered appropriate
music. The chaplain opened service with
prayer. The chief justice of the United
States then delivered his Grafton on the
progress of America. Millburn, the house
chaplain, led IN benediction and while the
marine band played national airs, they
dispersed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.s[Special.] y One

He was early booked for chairman Of

and aided that enemy of western states in
making trouble for the settlers. The
northwestern members made protest to

4 czEnER TRICK.
The Montana Democrats Try to secure
Recognition From the U. S. Senate.

Recognition From the U. s. Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. c.11.-[Special.] Some
of the senators are discussing tonight
what they call very cleverly devised
trick on the part of Montana democrats to
secure recognition of their legislature at
the hands of the United States senate. The
trick did not work owing to the fact that
Mr.. Ingalls, has avery shrewd head on his
shoulders and saw through it. The busi-
ness Of the senate was going along in rou-
tine order when the title of memorial
afrom the legislature of Montana" was
read by Chief Clerk johnson. 1t had been
passed over to him by Vice. President Nor
ton, to whom it had come by mail a day or
two ago. Colonel johnson read its title
with no more emotion than he exhibits
when he reads a pension claim and few
Of the senators paid any attention. The
memorial was a short affair in itself.
1t asked for legislation to protect for the
state the mineral lands which were inclu-
ded in che grant to the Northern Pacific
railroad. 1t set forth that unless there
were some special legislation by congress,
a great many claimants would suffer. IL
patents were issued to the company for
lands already certified for patent by the
United States land officers great many
valuable mines would be taken from pres
ent claim holders. The memorial was
signed by Charles P. Blakely, speaker, and
q. 2. Pond, chief clerk in the democratic
legislature of the new state. Without any
apparent thought of the situation in Mon
tana, Vice President Morton sent the me-
mortal to the committee on mines and min
ing. but Senator ingalls, was not asleep,
and with the shrewdness which has
made him a terror to the democratic
side of the house he arose and discussed
the situation. II want to say a word about
that memorial which purports to come
from the Montana legislature" he said in q
cool and thoughtful way. 'It is matter
Of public notoriety that there has been
some difficulty about the organization Of
the legislature in that state and in order to
avoid any committal of this senate on the
situation by referring to a committee any
resolution that comes from either branch
Of chat legislature, move the memorial be
withdrawn from the committee on mines
and mining and be allowed to lie on the
table," While Mr.. ingalls, had been speak
ing the senators on both sides of the house
had pricked up their ears and in 10 sec
onds the memorial had been tabled. The
little incident was talked OF a good deal
during the day. 1t was the first time Mon
tana had heen heard from lin. tha senate
this congress. There were no senators to
look after the states interests aud the stu
alton in the state warranted neither party
in making any fight for the memorial, for
very few knew which legislature had sent
in the document and so again the fact was
illustrated that Montana's interests are
suffering here because of the muddle there,
when the memorial on an all important
subject was in the "nine hole.''

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.-During the

decorations to the dead leader than were
added this morning. They came from

their design and finish. AS soon as the

stream of visitors began to pour through
the death chamber to take a farewell view
of the confederate leader. The crowd of
visitors was even greater than that of yes
terday, there being hundreds of people
from abroad whose visit had been delayed,
and not till II O'clock was the casket closed
down forever. The remains were then
conveyed to the front portico of the city
hall building, where the simple but inn
pressive rites of his church were per-
formed. Lafayette square in front Of the
city hall and the streets were densely
packed with people, and the bal

respects the funeral was the most impos-

:rhe Opera House Accident.


I JoHNsTowN, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE opera
house accident here last night was fully as
shocking as the first report made it. The
number of dead positively known are ten
and the number of injured are about eight.
None Of those who are surviving are seri-
ously injured, being more bruised than
hurt. The most singular part of the acct
dent was that there were no bones broken
in either Of those killed or injured. There
were 800 people in the house. and 24O Of
those occupied chairs in the parquet.
Possibly 200 more were in the circle and
aisles in the rear. The cry of fire was
sounded from the top of the gallery in the
last act Of the play, Uncle Toms Cabin"
Within few minutes Of the completion
upon the cry being raised, all broke and
plunged for the narrow exit. Those in
front were thrown forward, and upon
them the whole mass tumbled headlong,
climbing over them and causing q jam
right at the street door. The scene at this
was horrible.

RUNNING TEE SENATE.
Tho North Dakota senators are Securing
Places ON Important Committees.

The North Dakota Senators are Securing
Places ON Important Committees.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-[Special. THE
senators from North Dakota and Wash
ington are happy over the result Of the
caucus deliberations Of their colleagues.
Never before was it SO apparent that
Montana is beng badly slighued by the
failure to send United States senators to
be sworn in ana secure committees with
the other new statesmen. When they do
get here, less attention will be paid to
them than has been paid to the six here
now. Further than this, they must hope
for committees from the republicans, for
the, democratic caucus has no power to
give the Montana senators, should they
desire anything. The republicans are con-
ducting the senahi Of the United states.
Senator Pierce Of North Dakota drew five
committees. Those he is most pleased
with are territories, census and pensions.
The latter is Senator Davis committee and
has developed into one of the most
important in the senate. AS mem
Der of the census committee
Colonel Pierce will be brought more in
contact with his old friend Robert Porter
and may be able to name some of the en-
ployes Of the bureau, thus making places
for his home friends. He has been so long
in a territory that he will be an available
member of the committee on territories.
The civil service committee may develop
into one Of great Importance before the
close of the session. but retrenchment is
not liable to occupy much Of the senatorial
time. Senator Casey secured three i'm
portant committees: Transportation to
the seaboard, in which question his people
are greatly interested; railroads and immi-
grafton are also good committees, while
that Of organization and conducting of de-
partments will require much of his time.
Senator Sqnires was very glad to be made
member of the committee on coast de-
Tense, public buildings and grounds and
firheries as we'll as immigration, all
being committees which handle matters of
moment to Washington. State Senator
Allen, as a member of public lands and
Indian depredations, will have much to
look after that affects not only Washing
ton, state but also Montana and Oregon.
There are also many claim bills of these
states that will come before him; woman
suffrage will occupy much Of his time.

The Montana Legislature.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 1.-THE situation
in the Montana legislature is practically
unchanged to day. The democratic house
is without a quorum this week. The re-
publicans attempted to arrest some demo-
Gratis under the old territory laws and take
them to the senate chamber when the pres
ident would declare quorum. The re-
publicans will organize before Saturday, if
so, it will probably be done by seating
Watson of Fergus county, who claims that
cNamar, who holds a certificate of cleo
tiOn is ineligible on account of holding the
position OF post trader under the govern
ment. A compromise between the two
houses has failed, the republican house
demanding the organization Of the senate
by reporting the committee to investigate
all alleged frauds. There is no evidence
whatever of any violence and none NAV be
feared.

The senate has ordered the sergeant-at-
arms to bring in democrat members-elect.
He found several of them, but they claimed
they had not taken the oath of office and
were private citizens and refused to 90.

use force. The democratic senators having

Very Large Dose of it at the Suggestion
Meeting Held Inst Evening-Only Cau-
ems With n Brass Band. -.
There was exceeding great harmony in
Coraopolis last night. 1t wasn't exactly Of
the kind of which Dryden sang, and from
which he said this universal frame began, :"
but it was equally effective, more-than-2-
to-1 kind. Mr.. Alfred McCabe presided,
and the occasion was primary meeting to
nominate borough officers.
1t soon became apparent that there were
incongruous elements in the meeting, and
the majority, with horror OF the Smooth
ing-board" methods which gave the death
blow to the political aspirations of Jimmy
Hickey, decided to give the smooth-bore a
stab under the fifth rib, by passing a reso-
luton, two or more to one that anyone
might nominate himself if he chose, and
that all the names should be printed and
voters take their choice of names on the
ticket, method which insures q vast
amount of scratching and will force the Re
turning Board to earn its money.
As though this weren't sufficient har-
mony for one day, the meeting adjourned to
lively music, the Coraopolis brass band
playing Marching Through Georgia" and
other lively airs. 1t was a polite move,
for though the music might not altogether
soothe the savage breasts of the disap-
pointed, it at lea st drowned their discord-
ant mutterings. 1t isn't every primary or

DR.. Evans, Select Councilman, Gets There
Again at the Primary.
In the Twenty-third ward, DIR. G. Evans,
the present Select Councilman, defeated his
oppnent Joseph c. Eckley, by 40 votes.
There was an unusually heavy vote polled,
and a strong effort was made to defeat DIR.
Evans. In the First, or lower precinct, it
was thought he would receive a majority of
the votes cast; but instead, he was showed
under there to the tune of 149 to Al.
DR.. Evans voted and fought against the
city charter and the firemen and other city
employees in the ward voted against him.
In the Second, or middle, district Evans re-
ceIved 172 votes, while his opponent got but
a. In the Third precinct his got &c, while
Eckley received but 26. The majorities re-
ceived by Evans in the two latter precincts
enabled him to overcome the large'vote
against him in the First.
Evans has represented his ward in Coun-
cils about 15 years. If he had not received
the nomination last night, his friends say
they would have run him as Citizens
candidate.
The Democrats of the ward met last night
in the schoolhouse and nominated for Select
Council W. E. Tustin; Assessor, Joseph
Connolly; School Directors, Andrew Whit
taker and John Neelan.
