Last March Eugene F. Brooks colored man,
a messenger in the Navy Department, married

Since then, it is charged. he has been bounding
her and threatened to shoot her unless she re-
turned to live with him. LastSunday the bark
ing OF dog awakened the woman. who was
asleep. Looking up she saw her husband peer
ing in the window. She shouted for help and
he ran down the fire escape. Fearing that he
might carry out his threat she started for JEFF
ferson Market police court yesterday to get q
warrant for his arrest
She was within two blocks-of the court house
when she saw her husband coming after her.
In his hand was . six-barreled revolver. He

One FloEginS Saved Both Boys.

One Flogging Saved Both Boys.
About noon yesterday two small colored boys,
named Willie Russell and Clarence Scott, went
in swimming near the foot Of o street and they
were having such agood time that the approach
Of the police boat did not have the effect of
frightening them. 1t was not until the boat
had about reached the shore that the boys dis
covered their danger OF arrest and then they
proceeded through the streets without stopping
for their clothing. They we're soon overtaken
by the officers and soon afterward they were
taken to the police station.
The mother Of the Scott boy soon left collat-
eral for her son, but the Russell boy was not so
fortunate and he was locked up. While FORUM
ate in one way Scott was unfortunate in another.
for his mother gave him q fogging, expecting
the punishment would prevent q repetition Of
the offense.
When the cases we're called in the court this
morning the Russell boy was first tried and o
fine Of 90 was imposed. The Scott boy was
then called and the officer spoke q good word
for him. telling the judge Of his mother having
corrected him. The court thereupon took his
personal bonds and not wanting to make fish of
one and flesh Of another the other boy was also
released.

MANY LIVES LOST.
A Powder Mill ut Highland. California,
Blown Up.

Blown Up.
The explosion at Highland, Cal, on Saturday
Of the works OF the Giant Powder Company,
briefly noted in Saturdays STAR, was . very
serious affair.
The intensity Of the shock can be appreciated
when it is known that il was distinctly felt at
Sacramento, eighty miles distant, and that
windows were cracked at Nspa and other points
along the bay shore, twenty-five miles from the
scene Of the explosion. Along the east side Of
San Francisco bay are a number Of large powder
manufactures which have been scenes OF peri
odical explosions in which a number of lives
have been lost.
At Highland, about half a mile from West
Berkeley. and north of Berkeley and Oakland,
are located the works of the Giant Powder
Company, consisting of chemical works. mix
ing and packing houses, five large buildings in
all, together with three large powder maya
zines and a number Of small ones. and IL was
here that the explosion occurred Saturday
morning. The explosion began in the nitro
glycerine works and the conclusion soon caused
an explosion in one of the magazines
The very first explosion that occurred caused
the giant powder magazine TO 60 up. The
black powder mills lay directly in the path OF
the explosion, and burning brands were heaped
upon the already wrecked buildings. and almost
before the frightened Cinnamon could collect
their senses the powoer IN inc Dlack mills had
exploded.
NUMBER OF LIVES LOST.
1t was for a long time impossible 10 gain any
idea Of the number Of lives lost. An ESTE
mate was made at 10 O'Clock. There were l04,
of whom l01 were Cinnamon.
Three white men, who were working in the
nitro-glycerine house, were killed. They were
John Bow, Wallace Dickerson and Charles
Guberiige. Their bodies were found. The
head engineer Of the giycerine house was blown
twenty feet and knocked senseless.
The officers of the Giant Powder Company
went TO the scene after the explosion occurred.
They say il is almost impossible 10 estimate
the loss, but 100000 will probably be the out
side figure for the damage to the powder works.
The San Francisco chemical works. owned by
Egbert Judson and J. l.. n. Shepard. were al
most completely destroyed, and their loss Is noe
far from s150.000.
1t il believed the damage in San Francisco
from the breaking Of glass will reach el0,000.
