ROME SHAKEN.
TIE EXPLOSION OF POWDER NEAR
ROME, ITALY, CAUSES TERROR To
THE ROMANS AND THE b1sTRUc-
TIoN OF VALUABLE PROPERTY AND
RELICS
The Loss Ifreparable.

ROME, April 21.-Two hundred and
sixty-five tons of powder exploded al
Pozze Pantaleo on the 23rd inst, caus.
ing serious loss of life and damage to
property, and created great alarm at
the Vatican. The city was shaken to
its foundations, spreading terror and
dismay on all sides.
The people rushed from their homes
into the streets, houses rocked, pictures
fell from the walls, thousands OF panes
of glass were broken everywhere, crock
cry was shattered, furniture was over
turned, chimneys crashed down upon
the roofs and in some instances toppled
over into the streets below. The GU
pola of the house of parliament, shook
violently and then collapsed with a
crash, which added still further to the
feeling of horror which had spread
through Rome.
All the thoroughfares were strewn
with bricks, stones and splinters and
other debris hurled there by the force
of the powerful conclusion which had
caused Rome to totter on its foundations.
rushing pale with fear about the streets
trying to find consolation from others
who we're as terrified as themselves. In
the houses, doors, windows and cub
boards were burst open, rents and
cracks appeared in the walls. the
plaster fell from the ceilings and gener-
al desolation prevailed. In many in
stances people were thrown from their
beds by the shock which caused so
much alarm and cries of terror filed the
air as thousands of families rushed out
into tie streets. Parents with their
children in their arms, children leading
aged parents, the younger helping the
elders, made for the streets as il their
only chance of safety depended upon
their being able to reach the open air.
The powder magazine which explod-
ed, is four kilometers from here. Many
peasants in that vicinity were killed
and others injured
After the explosion, all Rome
visited the site of the powder magazine
including King Humbert and his mill
tary staff, accompanied by the Italian
premier, the Marquis di Rudini. and by
all the members of the Italian cabinet.
The shock which caused Rome to
tremble did not spare the Vatican
That venerable pile shook with the rest
Of the Roman buildings when the force
of the explosion was felt and several of
the famous historic stained glass win
lows of the old buildings were shat

phael chambers and the stained glass
in the royal staircase, presented to Pope
Plus * by the king OF Bavaria, were
also seriously injured. The cause OF |

can. All the windows of the pope's IL
brary were broken and a number of
precious relics were destroyed. In ad-
ditiOn many valuable panes of colored
glass in the principal windows of St
Peters basilica were smashed to pieces.
The handsome stained glass window
over the chair of st. Peter was also
broken.
AT st. Paul's church all the stained
glass windows were damaged. In fact
the damage done to this church was so
great that the building has been closed
to the public while the debris is being
cleared away and the work of tempor-
airy repair is being inaugurated
Much of the destruction
wrought by the explosion is
irTeparable, as the valuable works of
art which have been DESTROYED can not

windows which have been shattered are
the work of celebrated artists who -four

NEW THING IN TELEGRAPHY.
Plan to Combine the Ordinary Type
writer and the Wire,

DIR. J. r. Etter of Charlottesville,
Indiana, has perfected device in tele-
graphy that will revolutionize the en-
tire system of sending and receiving
messages. His plan is to use a common
typewriter, from which a person can
send message in the same manner
that writing is at present done on
paper with a typewriter. Also mes
sages can be taken off the single wire
at as many offices as is desirable, and
are written down in letters on paper
exactly like the letters and characters
made with the typewriter used at the
sending Office. Also, the paper at each
Office upon which the message is print
ed moves up and backwards when a line
is full of words at the will of the send
ing operator, who manipulates the
paper while sending the message in ex-
actly the same manner that the operator
Of a typewriter does. Application has
been made for patents, and prominent
wealthy manufacturer Of an Ohio city
will put the invention upon the market.

rule that when there is any treat of
this sort, the children shall wait until
all are served, and not begin to eat until
all are ready. On this occasion, how
ever, one small boy positively could not
restrain his eagerness. and the teacher
saw him nibbling at the dainty before

Won Moltke yanishes.

BERLIN, April 25.-Field Marshal
Count VUnMOltke died in the study OF
his official residence in the KonigsplatZ.
He appeared to be in his usual health
early yesterday evening. He arose as
usual and his appetite was good. All
the officers of the general staff were in
formed of his death and they ali as
sembled at the dead soldiers house be-
| fore daylight.
a dispatch to the news agency here
| from Berlin says:
Count Won MOltke walked home ye5-
terday from the reichstag. He ate a
hearty supper and afterwards drank
some tea and rose from his seat with
the intention of retiring. Suddenly he
staggered and would have fallen had it
not been from the fact that a servant
sprang to his assistance. The count
was then carried to his bed room, where
he died in a few minutes. The empe-
ror, who was at Wurtemburg, was
promptly informed of the veteran field
marshal's death, and Immediately tele-
graphed expressions of sympathy to the
family of the dead soldier.
The will of the count states that he
desires to be buried at Croisau, where
his wife and child are buried. 1t is al
so his desire that his funeral be strictly
private, but it is probable that the en-
perOr will override the dead soldiers
wishes in this respect, and that his
funeral will be made the occasion for a
grand military display.
The count was working daily before
mis- death upon the plans for the fortif-
cations of Heligoland, all the most intri-
cate OF these plans being drawn by the
count himself. His death was not gem
orally known until published in the spe-
cial editions OF the morning papers. and
1t has caused deep ard universal sor-
row. The Emperor will return to Ber-
lin this afternoon.
The empress visited the death cham
Der at 10 o'clock this morning and laid
a magnificent wreath of roses on the
bed where the great general rested.
She stayed quarter af an hour consol-

Further details in regard to the
counts death show that after his supper
he sat down and listened to some music
al selections which were played upon a
piano. He then took hand in a game
OF whist, but during the game he COM
planned OF not feeling well and LAYING
his hand of cards on the table left the

was noticed that he did not return to
