PARKERsBURG, W. VA, April S.-The
Beard Of Directors of the Parkersburg Can

done in order that arrangements may be
perfected so that the new industry may
start off under the most favorable auspices
possible
The question ot most local interest here
now is whether or not the new Republican

Police. Capt. Meben is the best chief ths &
city ever had, aud very large number OF
Republicans recOgnizs that his place can
not be filled. The politicians want his

WHO USED DYNAMITE
A WALKING DELEGATE TBLLS ABOUT THB
BREWERY EXPLOSION
Henry A. Fitzgerald duplicates John OCOnnell, Pat
rick T. Close and Thomas ReardOn, al Mem
bers Of the Executive Committee Of the
Asstmbly-The Men Arrested.

NEW YORK, April THE explosion,
presumably that of a dynamite bomb,
which occurred on the evening of Febru-
airy 6 in the area of David Stevenson's
brewery, which occupies the west side Of
Tenth avenue from Thirty-Diuth to Forti-
eth streets, has been found to have been
the work of labor union men, four of whom
are now in custody. The explosive was
placed in narrow alley on the Thirty
ninth street side, aud tore away large
piece of the wall, but the sclidity of the
masonry prevented extensive damage.
One of the men has confessed his COM
plicity with and told of the guilt Of the
other three. The informsr is Henry A.
Fitzgerald, formerly a walking delegate,
and the men whom he implicated are
John O'COnnell, president of the local as
sembly; Patrick F. Close and Thomas
ReardOn, members of the executive COM
mittee of the assembly.
The four prisoners constituted the COM
miltee at the time Of the explosion. The
cOnspirators, made furious by the failure
OF first attempt to bring Stevenson to
terms, conceived q ulan to blow up the
brew cry. Central Office detectives, who
have been on the case learned recently
that O'COnnell. who succeeded ReardOn as
president, stated at meeting that sit was
one thing to blow up brewery and another
thing TO prove it." Inspector Byrnes, after
securing Fitzgersld's confession took him
before the grand jury on Friday, where he
repeated his confession. The case will bs
Oalled up in General Sessions Court to-
morrow, when the men will be called to
the indictments charging them with felony.

Thrilling Experiences of Railway Passen-
gers During the Prairie Fires.
CHAMBERLAIN, OAK, April During
the terrible gale and prairie fires of the
past few days the train from the Esst had
terrible experience two miles east of Mt.
Vernon. A destructive fire was raging at
that point, and the dust and smoke made
the surroundings as dark as night. The
engineer plunge the train into the dark
ness and the first thing he knew he found
the ties on fire for nearly a mile ahead
He checked the train, fearing to advance
lest ne should find no track ahead of him,
and there, in suffocating smoke
and scoIchirg heat, with blazing
ties underneath the train and flames
on each side of the track the crew sought
to extinguhh the flames and save the train.
The passengers became excited and pleaded
to be released from the death by fire or
suffocation that seemed 10 be so near at
hand; chill hren cried for pain and grasped
for air and strong men became desperate
and left the train to fight the flames, only
to return tS the coaches exhausted.
For time it looked impossible and sew
eral of the passengers gave up; ladies
prayed lotd and some of the male passen-
gers swore at the engineer. 1t was almost
snre death 20 linger in that cauldron Of
fire, and VI hen it was seen that the sur
roundiDgs either meant moving or death,
a start was made by the train. The sus'
peuse and horror of the few moments re-
quired TO pass over the burning track and
through the terrible heat and smoke can
not he expressed, but the train finally pail
ed cut of the flames to fresh air and safety.

100000 FIRE IN PIrrsBURe.
Hubbard n Co.'S Axe, shovel and Saw Fac
tory Completely Destroyed.


PITTsBURG, April THE extensive
axe, shovel and saw factories of Hubbard
q Co., located at the foot of FOrtieth street.
were completely destroyed by fire this
morning, entailing loss of fully 6 half
million dollars. The fire was discovered
in the shovel factory about 1890 o'clock
this morning. and spread so rapidly that
in twenty minutes after the fire DEPART
ment arrived the four immense buildings
we're in flames The two main buildings
were each 320x6S feet long, and the other
two buildings were formed as Us" each
b'ing about $50 feet long and 90 feet wide.
The buildings were al frame and being
more or less saturated with grease burned
with such rspidity that the most heroic
efforts put forth by the firemen failed to
stop the fire in the least, and in less than
TIVE hours and a half the entire plant,
with its valuable machinery and stock was
a mass of ruins Only small section of
what had been used as the office was left
standing, and this was so badly scorched
and damaged that it was in danger of fall
ing.
The wind was blowing stiff breeze and
it was feared the adjoining foundry of
McConway, Torley & Co. would 90 also,
but after a noble 6ght the firemen saved
it and prevented the flames from spreading
further Mr. Hubbard states that the loss
on the buildings, machinery and stock
will be fully $500, 600, and that it is nearly
covered by insurance, but in what com
pauies he could not state at this insurance
WAS placed by local sgency.
Mr.. Murphy, the General Manager,
stated that there was an immense stock OF
goods on hand which had been piled up
during the winter, because of q lack of
orders, and that $50 dozsn of axlts were
boxed for shipment tomorrow morning.
The firm employed $50 men, who will be
thrown out of employment pending the
rebuilding OF the plant, which will be
done Immediately. The large plant of the
firm at Beaver Falls will also be closed
down, as the stock for the factory there is
furnished from the mill in this ci6y. The
origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr.. Hub
bard stated that no fires were burning
about the works.

Fanny Verona Goes Mad and Raves OF the

Los ANGELES, CAL, April IA life of
dramatic interest was closed to the world
to-day by the commitment of Fanny VerO-
M Baldwin to the Napa Insane Asylum.
She was arrested several days ago and
placed in q cell in the county jail. Her
demeanor since hes been such as to clearly
show that the girls misfOrtunes have DE
stroyed her reason. Her mania at the last
took religions turn, and yesterday she
alternately suffered fits Of melauctolia and
raved about her royal blood, and that she
hed tasted of the wOrmwoOd which Is now
the honey of the new Jerusalem. The vio-
lent character of her siiliction, her con-
tinued cries and pititul moaning caused
her to be brought before q commission OF
inquiry.
It will be recalled that this woman is
the cousin of Lucky" Baldwin, the noted
turfnan. She shot at Baldwin in San
Francisco hotel some time ago, and had
trouble with him in Chicago. She always
claimed that Baldwin not only took sd
vantage OF her, but also pursued her with

NORFOLK, Va, April THE storm OF
thunder, lightning and hail which broke
over this city yesterday morning changed
at 10 o'clock last night, turning into q
cyclone the wind blowing at the rate of 54
miles an hour. At 3 o'clock this morning
the wind came frcm tbs northeast and blew
into the harbor and its tributaries, which
at high water this morning at / ;36 o'clock
this morning was IS inches higher than
ever recorded before.
TIE lower part of the city was flooded,
and fire broke out on Water street, caused
from Stacking lime on the wharf of John
o. Camsgee q Son. The entire block,
with the exception Of Savage, Son & Co. 8
Commission merchants, was in flames
The old Cotton Exchange building, con-
taining shout 500 bales Of cotton ard the

about 900 bales of cotton, we're totally de-
stroyed other losses on buildings and
stock destroyed in this ock is estimated
at $3.50, 600, partly insured.
1t is probable that the l0eses sustained
by the wholesale grocery merchants from
the water forced into their warehouses by
the unprecedented tide will nearly equal
this amount. Hundreds of barrels OF
sugar ana flour an6 other goods srs ruined.
During the storm, the roofs of the many
dwellings were torn of, and the Virginia
Beach Railroad depot is badly injured, and
the tracks for hundreds Of yards are eeri-
Ously dsmaged.

sank before she could be gotten IN position

TIE Simpson dry DOCK was flooded and
the damage may reach $4,000. The |
