CHANCE FOR A DUEL.
Zborosky Will Go Abroad with His
Wife-The Baron in Paris.

CHICAGO, April l5.-Mr. and Mrs. Elliot
Zborosky have given up their intention of
going TO the Sandwich islands and have
decided to take trip to Europe, despite
the fact that the Baron de Steurs is sup
posed to be in Paris awaiting just such an
opportunity to meet Mr.. Zborosky and
give him a piece of his mind. Mr..
Zborosky, who has been living at the
Auditorium ever since his wife secured
divorce in Sioux Falls from the baron,
called upon U. S. Commissioner Hoyne
this afternoon and made application for
passports for himself and wife TO go to
Europe. The applications were forwarded
to the state department and will be
returned in a few days. Mr.. Zborosky is
said to be fighter and TO entertain de-
sire to meet the baron on the Geld of
honor If the baron so pleases. 1t is also
said that he and bis wife are going abroad
just TO show the baron that they are not
afraid of him and are indifferent TO his
efforts to secure reheariug in the divorce
case. However, if the Zboroskys place
foot upon the soil of the baron's native
land, he can. it is said. under the laws of
his country, compel mis- ex-Wife to return
TO him. The laws In the Netherlands are
said not TO recognize divorces obtained in
foreign countries; and the Zboroskys, in
that event, might be compelled to face a
charge of bigsmy if they get into the
barOn's territory.

complished by this organization. Spirited
applause cheered the speakeras he scored
his telling points.
The following resolutions were adopted
without one dissenting voice:
TIE democratic students of the Central nor
NAL college at Dapville, Ind, reefirm the prin-
ciples of the national democratic platforms OF
1884 and 1888. -
We point with just pride to the prudent
wise and statesmanlike administration of
Grover Cleveland, which, though hampered
and opposed by the republican senate, con-
Quoted the business of the government with
perfect fidelity to every public duty, and with
a frmness which won for it the general ap-
proval of q great majority of the people of the
United States.
We condemn the administration OF Benja-
min Harrison for the utter disregard OF its
solemn pledges made before electonl
For its use of cabinet positions and other
high public stations 10 payment OF financial
campaign debtsl
For using the public patronage as family
gift rather than public trust!
For its disregard of civil service reformi
For its subserviency TO Waist and the
money power
For its undisgused hostility or indifference
to the rights and interests of the laboring and
producing classes!
We denounce il for its brazen prostitution of
the federal judiciary by the promotion of Will
lam A. Woods in payment for his shielding
Blocks-el-fye Dudley.
We condemn the republican psrty for its
billion dollar congress, for its attempted force
bills, it's unparalleled extravaganza the tyranni-
cal acts of its officers, and especially reserve
our Dltterest condemnation for its shameful
abuse OF the taxing power OF the government
as manifested in the Mckinley tariff lava
measure OF legGlized robbery OF the many to
enrich the few.
We condemn its reciprocity -humbug free
trede-in-spots provisions and urge in lieu
thereof that large measure OF commercial free
dom advocated by Grover Cleveland.
We are in favor of tariff for revenue and
that this be levied as far as possible upon the
luxuries OF the rich instead of the necessaries
OF the poor.
We favor the Australian ballot system, which
makes the olocks-of-iye methods of the repub-
llcan party impossible.
BE it resolved, That we favor the renomina-
tion for president of the United States of
Grover Cleveland, one who considers public
Office public trust.

MT. ARLINGTON, n. J., April 1a-Ths,
works of the American Forcite powdef
company, on the shores Of Lake Hopst.
cong. about mile below here, blew up
OF about o'clock this afternoon, and
seven men were blown TO atoms. The
names of five of the men killed are as
follows:

Another body has been recognized as that Of
q Swede, whose name is unknown.
Two men were injured. One OF them, Benz
jamin CAsSIMoRE, is so terribly injured and
mangled that he viii probably die
The explosion occurred a few minutea
after o'clock aud five buildings were shat
tered. What caused the explosion will
never be known. The works of the COM
pany consist of small buildings scattered
ct about distance of 300 feet from each
other. Most of the buildings were used in
the mixing process and only one man was
employed in each The other buildings,
which stand further away from the lake
on the side of the mountain, are used for
the storage of dynamite. nitro-glycerine
and detonstors. The works have been
frequently the scenes of explosions, but
never to such an extent as today.
The explosion occurred while all the
men were at work and created a panic.
The xx-orkino in hraIAdfnuG IfaforN
from those blown up first heard roar and
the buildings in which they were working
shook and trembled for fully a minute
then came an explosion which sounded
far louder than the simultaneous explosion
of half a dozen OF the largest cannon. The
startled men rushed from their work and
saw a cloud of dust and smoke flying
through the air near the lower part of thu
company's grounds. They knew in q mo-
ment what had happened, and fearing
that the conclusion might set off the ex>
plosives in the other buildings, they took
to their heels and ran for the mountain
side
Meanwhile the company's fire apparatuG
was run out. and water from the lake was
used TO fight the fire. As soon as the
flames were under control the roll Of tho
company's employees was called. and il
was found that seven were missing. A.
search for their bodies was then begun,
The searchers were mostly old employees
of the company, and knew that in case
like the present one it was useless to-
search among the ruins. They found
fragments of flesh and bones scattered
over several acres of ground. In fact,
they found l50 pounds of flesh and bone.
which is all that remains of the bodies of
the victims What could be found was,
gathered up in boxes, and viii be buried
by the company.

INHUMAN CRUELTY.
An Aged Germans Death-Children
Locked In with the Corpse.

JoHYsTowN, Pa, April ia German
farmer named Albert Zitman, living few
miles from this city, has been lodged in
jail here charged with inhuman cruelty to
Fritz Blombezuck, aged eighty years. The
latter was given food and shelter by Zit-
man a few months ago. and in payment
did such work as his age permitted. Last
Tuesday Zitman drove into town with pro-
duce for market and dropped into physi-
clans office, stating that he believed old
Blombezuck was dead. DR.. George
Martin hastily drove out to the place and
found fearful condition of affairs. The
old German lay face downward on some
straw in cold room stone dead. DIR.
Martin examined the body and found that
the man had been dead for at least two
days. Humane officers at once took hold
of the matter and learned that the two
children of Zltman were nearly insane
from being locked up in the cold room
with the body OF the dead man. Evidences
of rope and chain lying in the room
aroused suspicion that the old man had
been tied to the floor, and an examination
of the body showed where the bonds had
cut into his flesh. Zitman was arrested
on the charge OF cruelty and smuggled
into Jail or he would have received harsh
treatment from the crowds awaiting for
him. Indignation is still very great against
him and he may yet suffer violence.

MARION County PrImarIos.

Never before in the history of this city has
the democracy shown greater enthusiasm
than was displayed Monday night at
the various ward primaries for the selec-
tion OF delegates to the state, congress
sional, joint senatorial and joint represent
ative conventions. These meetings, with
out single exception, were conducted
with that degree of vim and energy which
always characterizes the opening of a Wig
orous and aggressive campaign. In some
wards there were as many as a half
dozen "siates," but notwithstanding this
fact the contests for places on the
delegations were marked by but
few acrimonious disputes or quar-
rels. The attendance at all of the
primaries was very large, and notably so
in that hOtbed of republicanism, the Sec
ond ward, where over two hundred demo-
Gratis were out. In this connection it may
not be amiss to state that the Second is
the baiiwick of President Harrison. A
trip to the various voting places devel-
oped the fact that the Cleveland sentl-
ment was overwhelming. In many wards
resolutions of instructions for Cleveland
were adopted unanimously and with the
greatest enthusiasm.

personal friend of Senator Hill, who is a
democratic leader here, and who is in the
senator's confidence, said this morning:
81 am sure Senator Hill will not
be nominated, aud think be realizes it
As impossible. He has been consulting
with his friends as to the best course to
pursue so as to put himself in line for
1896. There was a conference at Albany not
more than ten DAYS ago, and it was seriously
suggested that after the first ballot in the
Chicago convention Governor Roswell z.
Flower be placed in nomination by the
New York delegation. and that Senator
Hill should make the nominating speech.
Mr. Hill will probably 90 to the conven-
lion as a substitute delegate from the FL

senator's favor. Mr.. Hill has not

consideration. Some OF his friends among
the Tammany leaders urge him to consent

They say that this viii be the most polite
course for him TO adopt, as Cleyeland's
nomination seems inevitable.
Iii Senator Hill takes this course and
Mr.. Cleveland is successful, he Will un-

II Cleveland is unsuccessful at the polls
Mr.. Hills friends will again insist that he
is the only man who can carry the state
OF New York, and they will again demand
his nomination IN 1896.

A DOUBLE SUICIDE.
Discouraged Young Men Make a
Strange Agreement.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Casper Casel and
William Spania, two German laborers.
entered into an agreement Satur-
day evening to commit suicide. That
both seriously intended to carry
out their compact needs no other proof
than the fact that Casel's dead body now
lies in the morgue with a bullet hole in
the head and Spania may not recover
from the knife wounds Inflicted by his
own hand.
Sparta and his wife had separated for
good. They confded to each
other their troubles and Saturday
evening they made a solemn agree
ment to commit suicide together. They
went together and bought a re-
volver, the arrangement being that
Casel should shoot Spania through
the head and then kill himself.
This plan was afterward changed, and it
was decided that each should take his own
life. Casel went and carried out his part
of the contract Spania's wounds are
serious, but there is a probability that he

BALTIMORE, April 1.-THE chances are
that Senator German will not be dele
gate to the national convention at Chicago
and moreover it is not likely he
will continue as a member OF the
national committee from Maryland. II
Senator German wishes to go as dele
gate the state convention will send him
but ne has expressed no wish up to this
time to be sent"
This is what close personal friend OF
Senator German said today to a represen-
tative of the Baltimore Sun.
"0f course" be continued, Senator
German will be in Chicago when the con-
vention meets. As a member of
the national committee he will
go there several days in sd-
vance. The reason Senator German
will not continue as a member of the ma
tional committee, is that ne is physically
unable to stand the labor and strain that
would be put upon him in the presiden-
tial campaign.
