Cause of the Explosion.

TARRYrowN, n Y, May 22-Edward Finni-
gan. foreman of the workmen employed when
the recent disaster occurred and who is now
living at the Proyident Home Hospital in an
interview to-day said there was no Ajax pow
der on the fat-car it was dynamite. He took
the explosive from Ludlow, where il is stored,
and put it on the fat-car. There was some
railroad-tes and a coil of rope ten feet long
on the car. Finnegan says be gave strict or
ders to the Italians not to smoke. When the
train left Ludlow one of the Italians began
capping cartridges. Cartridges are not capped
by manufacturers. This Is done by the men
as fast as they are usCrl. The man capping
the cartridges was sitting on a box. lie let
one of them fall and that caused the explo-
sion. John +. Mccarthy, twenty years of
age. or North TaTytown, another victim OF
the explosion, was buried this morning.

Believed that jackson Met His Waterloo in
COrbett-The Purse.
SAN FRANcIsco, May 22.-The Corbett-
Jackson fight last night resulted most unsat-
isfactorily. Referee Cooks decision of mo
contest which was given at the end of the
siXty-frst round, after the men had been IN
the ring four hours and five minutes. Is gener-
ally accepted as equivalent TO draw de
cisiOn.
Both men were then so weak it was plain to
every one that they could not be expected TO
strike an effective blow if they remained IN
the ring till daylight. The first half OF the
fight was the most scientific contest ever seen
on the Pacific coast, but the last thirty rounds
were simply a walk around.
After fighting two hours the hOnors were
about evenly divided, though II there was any
advantage it was in Jackson's favor. Then
Corbett rallied. For two rounds he pounded
>. Jackson and had him greatly distressed; but
T@ >San Francisco man played himself out IN
" Sort and with the exception Of occa-
n <allies there was nothing done by
eithel lan during the next two hours.
In the last few rounds Jackson staggered
around the ring and Corbett was in but little
better condition. Both men were heartily
cheered at the conclusion of the fight
The decision puts the purse at the discre-
ton Of the club and the men will probably be
given - 800 or $1,000 each.
Experts think that the result shows Corbett
to be a frst-cass man, and that Jackson has
met his Waterloo. Jackson's left shoulder
gave out after the twenty fifth round. He
caught cold in the shoulder a week ago Cor
bett SAYS his left fore arm was so battered in
the twenty-ffth round that it was useless at
terwards

Referee Cook in the JacksOn-Corbett fight

no way, therefore, indebted to the pugilists
