Austin street was full of enthusiasm
at ! o'clock this afternoon. A large
crowd of railroad men surround the

INDUCED In. There were 265 votes
cast up TO l o'clock and voters are
continually visiting the booths.
Clark III being strongly supported.

terribly. At this place, at noon to-

standing closer to the booths than
six feet. and trouble was about to

be left on the east side of the rive.

year. The advantage Of several months thus
gained IL OF the greatest benefit to all concerned.
II possible the final passage of the District APP
preparation bill during the long session should
not be delayed beyond the last Of March. The
matter IL one Of real importance. involving not
only the question Of the most economical ex-
ecution OF the public works referred to. but
also the health and comfort Of thousands of
persons. Whenever the bill passes as late "a
July or August great deal Of work of building
sewers and laying water mains must necessarily
60 over into bad weather, or be actually de-
iayed until the following spring. Under these
circumstances 1t is by no means a rare occur
renee for houses provided with modern plumb
ing appliances to be occupied for several
months before they can be reached by the
public system Of drainage and water supply.
In conclusion, consider it my duty to point
out three subjects of especial importance to the
public welfare. in connection with the work Of
the sub-surface division. These are the COM
pletion at the earliest possible date Of an
adequate system of sewage disposal aud protec-
ton against freshets, the immediate construc-
ton OF the most important trunk lines Of sub
urban sewers and the most rapid extension
possible Of the high-service system Of water
supply. The necessity for prompt action in
bringing about each Of these improvements is
believed to be self-evident. even though a tenn
porary increase in the indebtedness Of the Dis
trict should be required. The total cost will be
large, but the returns in the increased health
and comfort Of the public will be of inestimahle
value. Large additions to the District reve-
nues, due to the increased value Of real estate
benefited, are also certain to follow the COM
pletion Of the proposed works.
The fixing Of the period of illumination in
the gas-lighting service at not less than 4. 900
hours per lamp per annum should also be urged
for enactment at the earliest practicable time
in the interest of the public comfort and safety.

ANNUAL A. A. u. MEETING.
Howard Perry Elected President and Other
Business Transacted.

Howard Perry Elected President and Other
Business Transacted.
The annual meeting Of the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States began its session
yesterday at New York. A resolution was
passed reciting that il was the sense of the
meeting that the board of governors ought not
to authorize for lacrosse, base ball and foot
ball championships prizes other than banners.
nor make any allowance for the expenses of
travelling teams.
The claim of NJ. A. T. Kenney for a SWIM
ming record was referred to the record COM
mittes, after which an informal disc ussion on
the restoration Of banners as prizes for Joint
competition ensued, which showed the dele
gates to be about equally divided on the cues
ton. There was no disposition, however, to
increase the value of prizes. Officers were
then chosen, as were the members of the board
Of governors. The officers selected were: Presi-
dent, Howard Perry; vice presidents, F. K.
Stearns. Y. W. Beals; treasurer, W. B. Curtis;
secretary, J. E. Sullivan.
These resolutions were then adopted:
Resolved, That the A. A. L. annual cham
pionship and worlds fair committees be in
struggled to make arrangements to hold in Chi
cago q handicap meeting, open to the world, and
q worlds athletic competition.
Resolved, That the committees be instructed
to correspond with foreign athletic associations
in relation to the worlds championship meet
ing and have full authority to conduct the said
meeting.
Resolved, That Mr.. Harder be instructed to
arrange three dates between August 20 and
September 30, preferably the latter part Of Sep
TENDER, and report to the committee.

An Alsatian Mother Cuts the Threats of Her
Children and Herself.
A horrible tragedy is reported from Mulhau-
sen, in Aisace. A woman by the name Of Kern.
the wife of basket maker. had been driven to
desperation by the misconduct of her husband.
On Saturday last there was no food in the
house, and the little ones were crying for bread.
Nine. Kern, driven to distraction by the suf-
ferings of her children. well as her own, put
the fifth child to follow her. She wheeled the
wondering. but not suspectIng that the woman
was about to commit a terrible crime. She
went straight to the cemetery and wheeled the
barrow to the cemetery chapel. There she
came to halt and took the little ones out Of
the barrow. She knelt down herself and
caused the others to kneel and she offered up a
PRAYER.
After praying the mother arose and drew q
sharp knife. Drawing one of the children to-
ward her she quickly cut its throat. She Just
a. quickly cut the threats of the three other
children and reached for the fifth. The latter
tried to get away. The keeper of the cemetery
heard the cries of the children and ran to inter-
fere. He was in time to seize the fifth child be-
fore the mother had succeeded in infiicting a
fatal blow upon it. although it was wounded by
IL cut from the knife
The frenzied woman made no attempt to in
jure the keeper but turned the knife against
her own throat. The keeper ran to grasp the
weapon from her. but too late She drew the
knife across her throat and fell, with the life
blood gushing out, on the cemetery path
Mother and children will be buried in a com.

MANY POWDER KEGS EXPLODE.
Three Miners Instantly Killed and Other,
Badly Injured.

Three Miners Instantly Killed and Others
Badly Injured.
A fearful powder explosion occurred shortly
after noon yesterday at the Blanch coal mine,
located at the west end of Golfers, W. Va.
Twenty-Five kegs Of powder exploded, causing
the instant death of three miners and the
serious injury of eight Others three of whom
will probably die. The names of those who
we're killed are John Piosky, Wesley Anderson,
coored; Michael Cohoker.
The injured: William Anderson, colored who
was just entering the mine when the explosion
occurred. was blown distance of fifty feet
over trestle leg broken, face and head badly
bruised; will die.
Edward Cook, colored, was horribly burned
about the head and back: will die.
John Gillespie, lately came from Akron, Ohio,
was burned internally and it is thought he can
not recover.
John Anderson. colored. was on his way into
the mine, WAS blown out q distance of several
feet onto railroad trestle and his head badly
cut by being wedged under a coal car.
Lawrence Campbell, colored, burned about
arms, back and head.
John Tagging, burned very seriously about
arms and head; was sent to Pittsburg hos
pital.
Matthew Wright, burned about head and
back.
George Teelers, lnjur ed internally.
John Ramsey, burned about head and arms.
John Huliy, miner, is missing. but it is not
known whether he WAS about at the time of the
explosion.
The explosion occurred as the men we're
turning from dinner. Had it occurred ten min
utes later the destruction of life must have been
much greater. The force of the explosion shook
the ground as though by an earthquake.
Wesley Anderson's body thrown through.
the air a distance of more than 100 yards.
1t is supposed that the explosion was caused
by piece of fuse which became lighted in some
manner and conveyed the fire to the boxes in
which the powder cans were kept.
The scene at the mouth of the mine follow
ing the explosion was one Of great excitement.
The entire population gathered. and the women,
surprising at first that more of the men we're in
the mine than really were. begged that rescuers
go in to rescue them. 1t would have been death,
however. to have gone in before the air had
cleared. That some of those who were in the
mine were not suffocatsd is due to the presence
of mind of James Clark and James Borden, who
got the outside door of the shaft, which had
been blown from its hinges. and replaced it.
The mine belongs to H. G. Smith of New
Cumberland, W. Va. and William Smith and
John McNutt of Wellsville. About fifty men
are employed in the mine, which has been in
operation since MAY, 1891.
