FATAL EXPLOSION,

The Collapse of . Battery of Boilers In an
Omaha Packing House Kills Three Mon
and Injuries Many.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 24.-Three men
were killed outright. seven others SO
badly injured that they will probably
die and many more burned or wounded
by an explosion Saturday morning at
the South Omaha rpacking-house of
Armour & Cudahy. Great holes were
torn in the walls of the machinery de-
partment adjoining the boiler-house
which was entirely wrecked, and dam
age amounting to thousands of dollars
wrought. The noise of the explosion
attracted the great army of packing
house employees to the scene, where be-
meath the ruins twenty-five men lay
dead or wounded. An alarm of fire
was promptly sounded, and the fire de-
partment soon joined forces with the
Armour & Cudahy fire department and
the two quickly quelled the flames.
The killed are John Tighe, Hans Olsen
and Thomas Linehan.
The explosion is being Investigated by
the coroner, the testimony taken thus
far indicating that the wall of the boiler.
room caused the disaster by falling on
the boiler.

FINED THE CRUSADERS.

The Temperance women who R.ided {.
Missouri Saloon Fined Five Dollars
Each.
TRENTON, Mo-, Feb. 24-Two hours
before the trial of the Spickardsville
crusaders commenced Saturday morning
crowd of 1900 people stood in and
around the courthouse laying odds on
the outcome. It was only . few min
utes after o'clock when Judge
Shanklin entered the building, and
walking Immediately to the court
room the doors were thrown open, the
crowd surged in and the second day of
the trial of the crusaders was on and
court convened.
Despite the fact that all the States
witnesses except those directly inter
ested manifested an unwillingness to
tell what they knew, the prosecuting
attorney succeeded in getting q strong
case against the defendants, as he easily
proved the presence of all the defend
ants at the clubhouse while it was be-
ing demolished. Almost the entire
crowd Of spectators was in sympathy
with the crusaders.
1t was o'clock when the jury went
out, and in less than an hour it returned
with verdict that read: 1--WE, the jury,
find the defendants guilty and assess
their fine at five dollars EACH" The
announcement of the verdict was re-
ceived with Kisses and the Judge
threatened to close the doors and
fine every person in the courtroom
If order was not preserved. The
defense at once made q motion for an
appeal, and the hearing was set for to-
day at o'clock. The verdict was unex-
pected. 1t was generally believed that
public opinion and not the law would
decide the case, but the jury, Judge and
prosecutor seemed determined to try
the case according to law. ~.
