EXPLOSION IN 4 PONDER MIL.
Ono Man Killed and Glass Broken for
Miles Around.

CARBoNDALE, Pa. May 10-The Corning
mill Of the Consumers Powder Company. near
Peckville. blew up this morning with terrific
force. wrecking the building and killing IN en-
ployee. William Miett. Tho building was one
OF ten mills. aud the escape Of many other mon
from the fate of Millett is remarkable. The
Corning mill was q large building strongly
built, because 1t was the most dangerous one
OF the lot. 1t was in this department that the
powder was ground into different sizes. and 1t
Is believed that the accident was caused by the
friction Of the machinery generating heat and
iRniting the powder.
Millett was blown through the roof. fully q
hundred feet into the air, and when he fell to
the ground q mass OF d6bris covered him his
skull was crushed his throat WAS friRhtfully
torn, and bis bones and flesh were otherwise
broken and bruised. He was single man, 30
years Of age. The explosion was heard for
many miles Window glass in Peckville. Jes-
sup. and Winton was shattered. and the con-
cussion knocked dishes oil many shelves. The
adjoining buildings Of the powder company
were greatly damaged, foundations we're blown
loose. machinery was wrecked buildings shat
tered. and the works generally demoraii%od.
Persons who saw the explosion estimate the
height at which some Of the fragments were
hurled at nearly q thousand feet Many OF the
pieces went ont OF sight. The loss to the COM
pany is SIS, 900 In the exploded department

NJ onsignor O'CouneH Thinks the Question
VIII he Fairly Settled.

BALTIMORE, May 10.-Monsignor o Con-
Rome, after six months stay in this country.
left yesterday for Europe stopping on his way
to visit Archbishop Ryan in Philadelphia to-
day. and Bishop WiRger at Newark tomorrow.
Before leaving. Monsignor O'Connell talked
about the strength OF the Church in this
country. and alluded 10 the school question.
He said
Il do not sec why an amicablO settlement
Of tho school question could not be arrived at.
1t seems to me, however, that the question Is
more debated by newspapers than by the
episcopate. In the last ,plenary council Of the
Bishops had to say was that the faithful
should be provided with correct and
pale iE The Cnited States is a Very
prudent and conservative body. and there il
no doubt whatever that thoy Will know how to
handle the question in accordance with the
best interests of the Church and the country;
One Of the troubles Is that the utterances Of
many irresponsible persons are taken as utter
Rnces from the Church"

NIGH LICENSE IN BAL1IMORE.
A Trick by Which Some Saloons Rep
Open without Paying ANYTHING.

BALTIMORE. May 10.-A curious dodge has
been played by some of tho liquor sellers here.
The old licenses expired May l. The high IL
cense court had Just got into operation. and it
was impossible TO grant the new licenses in
time. Consequently. the dealers who asked
for licenses received permission to continue
their business without license until their cases
were reached. Many saloons which did not in
tend to pay the high license saw an oppOrtu-
nifty OF keeping open month. They put in
their applications. some of,these applications
finding that the LICENSES we're not taken out.
had the cases inquired into. and the result was
the disclosure that these saloons had applied
SO as to be allowed to keep open a little while
longer They were promptly closed.
1t looks now as II the number of.saloons I'M

An Examination shows that the Govern

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The accounting
officers OF tho Treasury have concluded re-
examination OF Gen. John G. Fremont. covering
that period OF his career in the army immedi-
atey preceding the acquisition OF the territory

pend entirely on whether Saunders can do this

The winning Of the Chester Cup on Wednes-
day by Tyrant was coup by the same party
that nursed Goldseeker for his victory year
or two ago. 1t was only at the last, when the
stable commission had finished, that the public
plunged on him. Naslstas. the second horse.
had been the first favorte until tho morning
OF the race. but his additional weight prevent
cd his making close race with the winner.
For the Derby tho odds on Surefoot have ex-
tended to to f. aud very few bookmakers care
about taking even these. His victory is re-
garded az a foregone conclusion.
Philomel who started favorite for the Ju-
bllee Stakes to-day, was hopelessly beaten. and
The INN, who was second favorie at to
1 against him, only won by a head from
Theophius. who started third favorite at ~ to
2 against him. That unlucky horse. Vasistas.
was third, only neck behind. 1t seems to DO
his fate to run either second or third in all his
races. The stakes amount to 5000 sovereigns,
and seventeen horses started for the prize.

SACo. Me, May 10.-I the Municipal Court
to-day Lawyer George G. Yeaton OF Great Falls
put in n claim in behalf OF the Boston and
Maine Railroad for liquors which Constable
Skillrgs OF Saco seized from a freight car side
tracked at Old Orchard two weeks ago. Tho
claimant argued that as the car was sealed
and the goods not delivered, tho liquors were
virtually the property of the railroad company.
by which they we're transported in the original
package Judge Emmons refused to allow the
claim, and ordered the liquors spilled. lie gavo
as IN explanation that he had not received q
cory Of the full teXt of the recent United Statos
Supreme Court decision. and the ruling was in
accordance with the Maine statutes. The
ST. ALBANs Vt. May l0.-Ofllcers last night
seized 200 gallons Of liquor in an establish
ment which under former proprietor has
been successfully raided and finally adIudged
a nuisance The liquor was recently shipped
here by a Boston firm, and the case apparently

awaited with interest.

Exciting Scenes at tho Opening OF the Only

LOWELL, Mass, May 1O.-Probably no city
or town in the country ever witnessed such
scenes as were enacted to-day at Dracut at tho
opening OF the only saloon in the town. TO run
which the proprietor. John Lnnnon, paid a IL
cense fee OF 5000. II seems as though the
entire city of Lowell had emptied its dry citi-
IONS at the saloons doors Two Lowell police
men were placed at the doors this forenoon in
anticipation OF crowd. bur before night there
was work enough for Is OF them When the
mills In this CITY closed ut noon rush for
Dracut began. Within an hour the electric
railroad doubled Its car service. anu every 10
minutes two cars, in which men we're packed
like sardnes In box started from Post Office
square for Dracut
The saloon is in one story structure. about
forty feet long and fifteen feet wide. 1t has
one entrance. The crowd became 50 great
that the room was filled with men standing six
feet deep before the bar calling for beer. No
one could get in. nor could those who were in
get out Tho policemen were finally called
upon to clear the room. Then regular sys-
tom was adopted. Enough to fiji the saloon
were admitted and the doors were closed. Tho
thirsty crowd was thus filed up and fired out.
Then another crowd was admitted and SINH
larry treated.
This process was too slow for the crowd In
waiting and they pushed against the doors till
they burst. Hats flew of and were crushed,
men came out OF the crowd with clothing torn
and buttons gone. Then limo was formed,
and it reached several hundred feet
down the dusty road. The barkeep
ers hustled around In vain endeavors
to servo the crowd. Some paid for
their drinks and others did not. They climbed
into the windows, squeezed by the police, and
acted as though their lives depended on get
ting drink. Mr.. Jensen, the proprietor, look
ed on disguised. and at O'Clock he had seen
enough. The doors were then closed by his
orders, and the barkeepers. after clean
ing up were sent home. The police
mon remained to keep order in tho vii
age. but no more liquor was sold.
Still up to q late hour, the street railroad con-
tinued to dump car loads Of thirsty and curl
Gus individuals into the little town. In spite Of
the crowd and the drinking very little drunk
enness was apparent, but the scenes parayzed
the country people with wonder. 1t is freely
predicted that II the scenes Of this afternoon
continue the saloon Is likely to be complained
OF as a nuisance.

Boston, May 1O.-There seems to be an

$4,000. 900. for which the new company was to
pay $4,000, 900. three-iifths in cash and two
ffths In stock and debenture bonds The old
stock holders. upon the surrender OF their GER
tifcates. received their proportion of the cash
and an agreement that they should be paid the
balance In stock and bonds, and in re-
turn they signed IN obligation that In
case the deal was not conSuInmateu
thoy would return the money upon demand
without interest; Up to this time they have
or the bonds. There ID considerable uncasi-
moss among the old stockholders, and many Of
them are appreheusiye that they may be called
upon to return the money. Among the largest
OF the stockholders OF the old COMPANY are Mr..
