Two Employees So Horribly Burned that
They Cannot Live.
MAHoNoY City, Pa, March 20.-The
Brandonville powder mill caught fire and
blew up last night, fatally injuring two
men and seriously injuring third
The victims are Cyrus Faust, who was
burned in a horrible manner, the flesh
hanging in shreds from his body; Jere-
miah Zimmerman received injuries from
which he cannot recover; Elias Under
muth was also badly burned and is in a
precarious condition. The men were
blown 80 feet into the air amid cloud of
dust and smoke.
The cause of the accident was due to a
pebble getting under the crusher while
the men were making powder, the fric-
ton Of the stone, coming in contact with
the heavy iron crusher, causing the pow
der to ignite. The drying house was
burned to the ground, but the magazine
escaped.
The men were carried to their homes,
but there isno hope for the recovery of
Zimmerman and Faust, and Lindermuth'
life hangs on a thread.

AhaIr-The State Department. May Ask

Better-Carter ReappOinted Minister. q
WASHINGTON, March 90. Secretary
Blaine said to-day that he knew nothing
about the published reports that the
United States intended to institute re-
taliatory proceedings against Germany,
in case that country refused to admit
American pork. No pronunciamento, he
said, looking to the exclusion of German
imports had been issued.
Private Secretary Halford also said he
knew nothing about the President con-
templating such retaliatory proceedings.
The President simply directed Secretary
Blaine to call the attention of our Minis
tiers in Germany and France anew to the
subject and try to reach some tangible
result He expects to reach results
through the usual diplomatic channels
and not by the sudden presentation of an
ultimatum proposing the prohibition of
German and French imports into this
country if Germany and France do not
yield at once to our demands. The Nc
Kinley bill is about as far as the admins
tration will go at present in the direction
of prohibition.
The President has the power, however,
by the Meat Inspection act to go beyond
the Mckinley bill and shut out German
and French imports altogether, and the
fact that he has it will be impressed on
Ministers Phelps and Reid with instruc-
lions to impress it upon the Foreign Min
listers of Germany and France. Both Mr..
Phelps and Mr.. Reid have already brought
the subject of discrimination against
American meats to the attention of the
German and French governments and
have received some encouraging assur-

THE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR.
MIR. Blaine May Submit Some of the Griev-
ances of the United States.

MIR. Blaine May Submit Some of the Griev-
ances of the United States.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-In diplomatic
circles it is regarded that it would be Just
as we'll If the Italians throughout the
country would abandon the idea of pub
lie meetings on account Of the New Orleans
affair. The men who we're put to death
on Saturday last were not executed be-
cause they were Italians, but because
they were assassins, and their continued
existence would have been a menace to
the peace and safety of society There is
no more reason why Italians should work
themselves up over the matter than that
Greeks or Turks should.
In the course of the correspondence
with the Italian government, it is to be
anticipated that Mr.. Blaine will feel
called upon to submit some of the griev-
ances of the United States in this connec-
ton. If Italy has a right to interfere in
behalf of her subjects, or alleged sub
jects, she must at the same time admit
responsibility for some of their actions.
There has as yet, unless we accept the
charge to the grand jury at New Orleans,
been no official account of the occur
rences of Saturday. All the information
upon the subject has been derived from
the newspapers According to the news
paper reports, when the acquittal of the
assassins by the jury which tried them
was announced, Italian sailors in the port
of New Orleans trampled and heaped
other indignities upon the American flag.
If these accounts are verified, it will be
Mr.. Blaine's duty to demand reparation
for the insult.
AS this insult preceded the killing of
the criminals, Italy must first apologize
to us for before expecting any expressions
of regret on our part. The flag of the
United States waves from the top of a
lofty signal pole on the river front of the
city. Not satisfied with turning the
American flag upside down on the masts
of their vessels and hosting their own
flag above it, these Italians tore the flag
from the signal pole where it duttered as
the emblem of national authority, and
ran up their own flag in it's stead.
Undoubtedly such acts as these intensi-
fed popular indignation and prompted
the men who met at the foot of the Clay
statue to let it be known that American
justice and American authority would in
one way or another strike the stiletto
from the cowardly hands which use it
only in ambush or in darkness.

A DRAMATIC SCENE
Sensational Ending of the
Miller Murder Trial.
CASE GOES TO THE JURY.
To Produce an Effect Counsel for the Pris,
oner Cuts Himself With Razor.

The Negro Ties UP the Gaping Wound
An Intimation from the Defence that
Mrs. Miller Was Killed by Her Sister and
Her Husband-A Verdict Expected To-
night-Great Excitement at Camden.
CAMDEN, N. J., March 2O.-The last
words have been spoken in the Miller
murder trial, and it is believed that Lingo
will know his fate before he retires for
another night s rest.
Mr.. Westcott's speech was very bril-.
liant. In the course of his argument he
handled the razor with VIII ich the crime
is alleged to have been committed with
such recklessness as to call forth a warn
ing from Judge Garrison. After declar.
ing that if the wounds had been made
with the razor it would have been dulled,
he thereupon, to prove that it was sharp,
drew it across the back of his own hand,
time this lawyer has subjected himself to
physical pain to produce an effect.
Whether it will result as desired with the
jury, or arouses the suspicion of desper-
ate resources, remains to be seen. After
cutting himself he asked Lingo to bind
the wound.
Judge Westbrook said that the State
had proved neither the time or place of
the murder. He then went on in an elo-
quent manner to advance the theory that
Mrs. Miller was killed at home by her
sister and her husband, and the body
carted to where found. He created SEN
sation by declaring that no male fiend
ever conceived the crime, and no male
mind ever placed the dead woman's hand
kerchief and gloves where found by the
body.
In closing he significantly said: "Did
Mrs. Miller go out of that brush lot alive,
and go home that night? That is ques-
ton that is going to be answered sooner
or later. And if she did, what did she seer
Frank Lingo, you are an innocent man.
Gentlemen, your duty is plain.'
There is a great crowd in and about the
court house, and there is much guessing
on the verdict.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, March 20.-Eva Ham

where she she has been stopping the
past two weeks for New York.
She was interviewed by a reporter, and
said: "My husbands estate has an an.

third of that is mine. His relatives re.
fuse to recognize my claim to any part of
the estate, however inconsistent it may
seem with their denial of my claim. They
have, nevertheless, offered me $50 900 to
settle all matters with them.
"Upon the advice of my attorney posi-
lively refused to accept this amount. I
shall not think of settlement for less
than $75,O00."
In the course of her remarks she care
fully avoided all references to her alleged
husband, Joshua Mann, and did not speak
of Ray being yet living. She seemed to
take it for granted that he had died.

Mr. President:

As we have business on hand of more
remunerative character we are forced to
decline your kind invitation. We think
however, that il is your plain duty to CALI
OUT THE MILITIA and drive the rascals
out. We have plenty of soldiers here who
are spelling for fight and among them is
Col John b. Doherty, who is only waiting
for an ppoItunity TO become a Grant, a
Sheridan or Sherman. You seem to
think that our national reputation as the
''land of steady habits" is degenerating.
Well, we are glad to inform you that
our legislators do not represent the intel
ligence of our people.
Neither did we go to the Middletown
asylum to choose our candidates, altho
we confess you have some reasons to think

Another Tumult of Excitement Over tn Q

WEBSTER, Mass, March 20.-The whole
country about here is in tumult of ex-
element over a possible end of the
famous Lila Hoyle mystery of three
years ago through statement of the
wife of Andrew Hoyle, the uncle of the
murdered girl, who reiterates the confess
sion of Alice Hoyle, Lilla's sister,
which implicated McQuaid and Cowie
with herself in Lilla's murder, and tells
an almost incredible story of her hus-
bands conduct toward her and his infat-
uation for Alice, which has already broken
up the family. The majority of the
she has confessed, while others think that
another prevarication must be added to
her already extensive list.
Mrs. Hoyle did not doubt that Alice
told the truth when she made her con-
fession. She does not doubt it to-day
One day Alice and Mrs. Hoyle went out
for q walk. Their steps took them in the
direction of the north village. They
reached place just at this side of the
bridge, when Alice stopped and impress
lively said:
sit was just about here that Lila
screamed that night and some one stran-
gled her."
Then she examined the locality little
more closely and added:
Eyes, it was just about here"
Andrew Hoyle is person of much in
terest now. There is feeling that, if he
dared to show himself, he could come
forward and explain a good many things
No one knows whether he is aware of the
whereabouts of Alice, but it is thought
that if he is it should not deter him from

sons think that he is still in Worcester
