while 3O-inch natural gas main was being
tested the dead cap on the end of the pipe
bursted, scattering the debris in every

The pipe was braced with heave timbers.
and these were hurled into the crowd with
a terrific force. The workmen and spec
tators were thrown down by the force of the
explosion, and one of them, who was killed,
was hurled against a brick house and his
neck broken. Ageneral stampede followed
the explosion, and a scene of the widest eX-
element ensued. The cries of the injured
could be heard for several squares. Investi-
cation showed that Two men had been
killed outright and about fifteen others in
jured; two of them fatally. The dead were
conveyed to their homes, and the injured

CHARRED REMAINS.
The Burned Body Of a Murdered
Ranchman Found.
TO SAVE MRS. MAVERICK.
BarriSters and Solicitors and Members of Par
Lament Interested in the Andes
Food Distress in Samoa.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 9. = Especial to
THE HERALD. Henry Pullman came into
Laramie today with the remains of a
murdered man in a bucket. The receptacle
contained ashes which included all that re-
manned of Robert Burnett, a ranchman
who mysteriously disappeared two months
ago.
Burnett was a shiftless, desperate settler
who was always in trouble with his neigh
bors. Soon after he was missed, George
Black jumped the terantless claim, and
said that he had bought it and that Burnett
had gone east. This story was discredited,
but when Black threatened to shoot
ranchman who proposed a hunt for Burnett
the matter was dropped.
Mrs. Henry Pullman and daughter were
picking wild berries in a dense thicket
yesterday when they came upon a dead
camp fire. They investigated and were
appalled, to find human skull and bones
IN the ashes. Pullman was summoned and
lost no time in notifying the authorities,
taking along the find. In the ashes match
box and medal known to have been in the
possession of Burnett were found. The
people are satisfied that the Blacks. two
brothers, murdered Burnett, burned his
body and sought TO allay suspicion by
boldly taking possession of their victims
property. The annals in the case was the
result of feud growing out of law suit.
In one contact last year Bu5net wife was
accidentally killed.

Irving to Save Mrs. MAVERICK.

New YORK, Aug. "a cable special
from London says: SIN addition to the
memorial to the government on behalf of
Mrs. Maybrick, signed by most of the
barristers and solicitors of the Liverpool
circuit and the petition circulated among
the merchants and bankers, parliament
itself has taken UP the cause of the con-
demned woman. A number of members
of the house of commons have decided to
make a combined appeal to the home
office for a reprieve. The action is based
not only on the confession in the medical
testimony taken, but also in the peculiar
behavior of the judge, which has excited
a ferment and Indignation throughout the
country. The foreman of the Jury has
been interviewed and he showed himself
by his answers and comments on the case
to be possessed of only confused notion
of the evidence which had been presented
in court. He admitted that he would not
be sorry if a reprieve were granted, not
withstanding his voice in favor of a YER
dict of murder.
The general impression left by the inter
view is that the jurors allowed themselves
to be swayed and biased by the oDe-sided
summing up of the judge, and gave hasty
verdict without giving the case and evil
dence any personal consideration
Regarding chances of interference with
the sentence on the part of the home secre-
tary, Mr.. Macklin said: ''They have
curious law in England, providing that
where an adverse decision is rendered in
any but murder case, an appeal can be
taken to higher court, and from that to
the house of lords, but when the case is
murder, decision rendered by a jury is
final, and cases where the judges sentence
has been overruled by the home secretary
are very rare indeed. Still, hope we can
do something

A Husband and Mifa,s Way.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9.-As George c..
Bradbury, general manager of Lake Erie g.
Western railway, entered his Office this
morning, he was confronted by his wife,
who is now living in Chicago, and with
whom he has not been living for some time
scuffie ensued which was stopped by
the appearance of police officer who dis
covered Bradbury with revolver in his
hand. The officer refused to arrest either,
although Mrs. Bradbury demanded Mr..
Bradbury's arrest. Mrs. Bradbury went
at once to the police station and swore out
a warrant charging Bradbury with
threatening her life with pistol.
Bradbury's story is that when he reached
his office he found his wife standing be-
hind the door with the pistol in her hand
threatening to shoot him. He wrested the
pistol from her and her screams brought
the officer.
Mrs. Bradbury's story is that Bradbury
attempted to shoot her. At the trial this
afternoon sensational charges against each
other of intidelity were made. The case
against Mr. Bradbury was dismissed
Mrs. Bradbury arrived from Chicago last
night and is stopping at one Of the leading
hotels

Food Distress in Samoa.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Under date of
July II, Rear Admiral Kimberly reports to
the navy department from Apia, Samoa,
that the fathers of the Catholic mission
there had requested help from him to re-
lieve the pressing want of food then exist
ing. Upon his return from Page Pago, in
a small vessel chartered for the trip, be
brought back with him from the Mononga-
hula biscuits, rice, corn meal and
other provisions which he turned over
to the Catholic mission for dis
tribution among the distressed Samoans.
The admiral writes that there is
undoubtedly great scarcity of food at pres
ent, but does not apprehend any loss of life
from famine, except possibly among the
old and feeble, as there are cocoanuts
sufficient to exist on now, and this soon
will be helped out by the approaching har-
vest of bread-fruit and later by bananas
Tams and taro are being generally planted,
but it will require several months before
they will be ripe enough to gather.

BAR HARBoR, Aug. 9.-President Har-
rison arose fairly early this morning, after
what he termed better nights sleep than
he has enjoyed for weeks. After hearty
breakfast and cigar, he received visits from
Barren Rosen, the Russian minister, and
several others. Later drive was taken. In
the early afternoon the carriage of the party
arrived at Major Palmer's cottage at Otter
Bluff, where a number of prominent
cottagers had been invited to meet them at
luncheon. The event was entirely informal

Bodies at JOhnstoWn.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Aug. 9.-Two more
bodies were taken out of the sand to-day
One was identified as Alexander Hamilton,
ir., prominent resident of the town. 1t is
very evident that there are a great many
bodies in cellars and other places where
there are piles of dirt. Notwithstanding
it is likely that the workmen employed by
the state will soon be withdrawn, and if
that is done, there will be many bodies that
are now only few feet under the sand that
will be there until their bones are exposed
by accident.
A large travelling satchel packed with
woman's clothing, was brought to the room
where the valuables are stored, to-day.
There was Pennsylvania railroad check.
No. 359, from Pittsburg to Philadelphia on
it, and the name of Elizabeth M. Bryan
stamped on an embroidered handkerchief.

CrOps in Austria HUNGARY.

WASHINGTON, Aug. O. Consul General
Goldschmidt, of Vienna, sends summary
Of the crop estimate of Australia Hungary.
1t says the estimates are for a threee- quar-
ter crop of wheat, or an aggregate of one
hundred and forty to hundred and fifty
million bushels, with home consumption
of 155, 100000 bushels, which will leave lit
tie or nothing for export, in spite of the
fact that there are 25,OOO,OOO bushels of old
wheat in the elevators. AS to the other
grains the prospects are no better. Rye,
barley and oats yield an average crop;
maize is very promising Luguminous
plants, potatoes and turnips are middling
good; apples, pears and plums are poor
Wine alone is very promising, although
phylloxera for several years previous has
reduced the grape harvest considerably and
shown up again this season. The vines
present an unusually promising appear
ance, so that the largest expectations are
entertained.

procurer-general continuing his address,
was charged by the court at Clermont Fer
rand, when in command of the troops there,
that he originated secret intrigues, cleo
toral agitation and system for corrupting
officials Notwithstanding these acts, he
had written to the war Office disclaiming
any connection with what was done in his
name. Here there were protests from the
right. The procurer- general declared that
there were documents before the court
which clearly marked the downward path
of Boulanger from characterization to in
trigue falsehood and conspiracy. The gov
eminent also had evidenced to low that
Boulanger tried to have Co. to Bis
marck the information that ''Bo0langer only
desired to be appointed consul for life.'
