DYNAMITE And DEATH.
FIVE KILLED AT A TUNNEL IN
LONG ISLAND CITY.
Scores Injured and Much Damage Done
Milwaukee Fire Bugs Destroy vaIu-
able Property with Dynamite.
Five Killed Many Injured.

Three barrels of dynamite exploded
at the mouth of the shaft of the East
River tunnel at Long Island City,
Five or more lives were lost, scores of
persons were injured and thousands of
dollars of damage done.
just in the rear of row of ten
ements, Nos. 81, 20, 25, ~ and 20 jack
son avenue, Long Island City, is the
entrance to tunnel that the New
York City g. Long Island Tunnel COM
pany is putting under the East River
between Long Island City and the
New York Central depot They use a
great deal of dynamite in blasting and
the night before the dynamite froze.
When the gang of men started to work
in the morning they found it would be
necessary to thaw the dynamite out,
and taking three barrels of cartridges
from the stock, placed them just back
of the tenements to be thawed. They
built booming fire beside them and
the fire and dynamite were left alone
until the 20 men, comprising the gang,
went down into the tunnel shaft. The
fire burned nearer the dynamite than
had been supposed it would and an
hour later there was an explosion that
scattered death and destruction around
it. The shock was like an earthquake.
The men in the tunnel shaft were
not hurt. The persons living in the
tenements made up the killed and in
jured. The tenements from 81 TO 20
were shattered, with the stores and
offices below. The postoflice was in
81. The letter cases were knocked into
strips and the clerks were hurled head
long into the debris.
The scene following the explosion
was terrible. Men, women and chill
dren only partially clad rushed wildly
from every possible exit in the greatest
excitement, screaming loudly. The
district where the explosion occurred
is the most thickly inhabited section.
For half mile jackson and Vernon
avenues present peculiar sight.
Hardly an unbroken pane of glass can
be found within that radius. Gray's
refrigerator factory on Fourth street,
opposite the scene of the explosion,
was almost entirely wrecked. A num-
Der of people were at work in the
building at the time, but how many of
them were injured it is not at present
known. Much other damage was done.

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.
A BRIEF CHRONICLE OF SOME
OF THE WORLDS DOINOS.
Michigan Board of Canvassers Award Ger
tiiicates OF Election to Successful
Candidates-A MiIIionaire's Gift.

The state board of canvassers has is
sued certificates of election to all the
successful candidates. Atty.-Gen.
Ellis is the only Democrat who pulled
through, his plurality being little
over 1900. Hambitzer's plurality is re-
duced to IA, 720 on account of errors in
Muskegon county, 3,S2S votes having
been rejected because they read -. Il.

The final figures are as follows: John
Il, Rich, governor, 10000 plurality; j.
w. Giddings, lieutenant-governo 21,-
CAT; j. W. Jochim, secretary of state,
1,966; j. +. Hambitzer, treasurer, A.

eral, 80, 1872; John G. Berry, commits
sioner of the land Office, 457; A. A.

X. Pettengill, superintendent of public
instruction, 90, 40s; Eugene a. Wilson,
member state board of education, 2l,-
907; Frank A. Hooker, justice supreme
court, 1S2. 1t is thought that neither
Shaffer nor Newton will contest the
election further, the expense of such
action being very great.
Another very important result was
announced. The last legislature, it
will be remembered, passed resolu-
ton submitting to the people PROPOSE
ton TO call constitutional conven-
ton. Many previous attempts to re-
wise the fundamental law had been
made, but always without success. 1t
has been ascertained by the official
canvass that the electors of the state of
Michigan do want such a convention;
at least l6, 94S of them do ONLY 1925
registered Negative votes, while out of
some 466, 900 people who voted on state
officers, only 1892 cared a rap one
way or the other. The incoming
legislature will fix the time and the
place for the convention. 1t is prob
able that there will be general over
hauling and correcting of the old con-
stitution and doubtless many persons
with utopian schemes will seek to in
corporate them in his articles. The
only changes certain TO be adopted are
those relating TO salaries of state
officers.

The Cornerstone is Laid.

The cornerstone of the Cathedral
church of st. John the Divine was laid
in New York City by Rt. Rev. Henry
c. Potter, ID. d., ID. c. L., of the
Episcopal diocese of New York. The
site of the cathedral is on West One
Hundred and Tenth street and COM
mands fine view of the Hudson river
and many miles of city and country
surrounding. 1t is in the center of a
district rapidly filing up with
residences. In addition, Columbia col
lege and st. Luke's hospital have
lately decided to remove to this neigh
borhood. The scope of the cathedral,
as enumerated by Bishop Potter, was
declared to be that of a church for
the people-all people-and his aim
has been kept constantly in view in the
six years of work which eliminated
in the laying of the corner stone,
the first step in the work of actual con-
struction.
The cathedral will include seven
"chapels of tongues" in each of which
will be a service at least every Sunday
in seven languages. The sittings in
the cathedral are to be forever free.
The bishop of New York is to be
president of its chapter. The land for
its site was purchased for Ss50,OOO and
has since doubled in value. The cost
of the structure is estimated at from
$1,000, 900 to S10,O0O,00 The entire
structure will measure 500 feet in
length and will have three square
towers, the main tower being at the
junction of the nave and transepts.
The ceremonies were witnessed by an
immense throng which filed and sur
rounded the temporary cruciform tent
over the foundation. In the corner
stone was placed large pewter box
containing church books and publica-
tions and brick from the first church
built in America, the church erected
by Columbus in 1893 on the Island of
Hispaniola.

Deserts the Pope.

There is decided commotion in Ro-
man Catholic church circles at Wash
ington, over the detection of Win
Marie Smell, private secretary TO Bishop
Keane, the rector of the Roman Cath
Ollie university. DIR. Smell is young
man of remarkable scholarship, author
of various books on religious subjects
and frequent contributor to the
church reviews. His works have
always breathed the deepest loyalty to
the Roman Catholic faith. by his own
choice, after deep elaboration, DR..
Smell has cut loose from the creed
which he espoused when beginning his
scholarly career and declared his alleg-
ance dead and has become a believer in
the Presbyterian faith. DR.. Smell said:
my decision was made at the point
where my study of religions made it
possible for me to no longer remain an
honest communicate of the Roman
Catholic church"

Poisoned an Entire Family.

A warrant has been issued at Omaha,
Neb., for Joe Williams, colored, on a
charge of murder and the police are
looking for him. Williams is accused
of poisoning the entire family of Will
liam Ewing, an expressman. For some
time past there has been trouble be-
tween Williams and the Ewing family
and hard words took place at each
meeting. A day or SO ago Williams
went TO Ewing's house and after loaf
ing around while and causing trouble
left. Shortly after dinner that evening
the family was taken sick and one of
the babies died. There is no question
that the sickness of the family is due
to poison, but there is nothing to indi-
cate what sort of n drug was used.
The sickness resulted from poisonous
ingredients in the coffee. The fact
that Williams has disappeared seems to
lend color to the opinion that he is
guilty.

Murdered by His Son.

Sumner BathriclS, farmer living
about half mile from Novi, was ia
tally shot by his son, Guy Bathrick,
aged 20 years.
A family quarrel was the cause. Guy
had attacked his father with butcher
knife but this was wrested out of his
hands. The son then ran to the bed
room, and came back with the old
family rife. Before the father could
defend himself the son had opened fire
and put two bullets into the old mans
body. Mr.. Bathricl1 fell TO the floor,
a dying man. The first shot had passed
through the right arm and imbedded
itself in the wall. The second entered
the body just below the left nipple,
passing through the the lung. Guy
when he realized what he had done,
tried TO escape. Neighbors, however,
had heard the shooting and captured
the young man before he could get
away. There was talk of fynching.
The officers, however, soon seized the
boy and started with him TO the Pom
tiac Jail. The lad implored the officers
to give him five minutes in which to
kill himself.

FOUR KILLED A COLLISION.
Between Locomotive and n Crowded
Street Car I'm Chicago.

Four persons were killed and twice
that number were injured by the coll
lision of a street car and a locomotive
at Forty-seventh street and Stewart
avenue, Chicago. The street car was
crowded and was crossing the Fort
Wayne railway tracks when a Fort
Wayne engine crashed into it SO sud-
denly that the occupants had no time
to escape. The engineer and the
watchmen at the crossing, of which
there were two, one at the crossing
and the other in the signal tower, are
under arrest.
The accident happened when the
street car traffic was at it's heaviest and
the cars were crowded TO the doorways
with people standing and sitting. Car
No. 2l6 had, like all the others, heavy
complement of passengers. As it APP
preached the tracks of the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne 81 Chicago railway com
pany at the junction of Forty-seventh
street and Stewart avenue an engine
belonging TO that company came back
ing down the tracks toward the cross
ing at rate of about Is miles an hour,
the railway people say. For some
reason the occupants of the engine cab
did not see the car.

MURDERED HIS BROTHER.
A Quarrel Over Canadian Politics Causes a
Terrible Crime In Saginaw.


George and Fred Foote, brothers,
became involved in a quarsxi at the
latter's home when a terrible murder
ensued. George is a single man and
boards with Fred and his wife who
keep grocery and live in the build
ing. No one was in the house at the
time except Mrs. Fred Foote. She
heard the scuffling and before she could
descend to the store a shot was fired.
She found her husband on the floor and
George with revolver in his hand.
Doctors were summoned who found a
bullet had struck Fred in the left side
glancing against his ribs and lodging
near the shoulder blade. He died a
short time after. George was arrested.
He says they quarreled over the an
neXation of Canada to the United
States, he opposing the idea and Fred,
who had lived here longer, favoring it,
Fred's wife says they frequently quar-
relied over this and other political sub
jects.
Previous to death Fred made state
ment regarding the shooting, declar-
ing that in the controversy over Cana
dian annexation he struck George in
the eye with his fist. They exchanged
blows and Fred retreated from the
store toward the rear room, which is
used as kitchen. George, who was
slightly intoxicated, drew a revolver.
"For Gods sake!'' cried Fred, ''do
not shootr'
The words had scarcely passed his
lips when the brother fired. The bull
let did not take effect. George fred
again and Fred sank upon the TIRES
hold of the doorway.

Whisky Killed All Three.

John Barnes and his brother-in-law,
James Kerr, of Charlottesville, Ky. went
to the Ohio river, ostensibly for supplies
They returned home late on the follow
ing night very drunk, and nothing more
was seen of them until neighbor
called two days later. Finding the
door ajar the neighbor walked in and
found Mrs. Barnes lying across the bed
dead, with her head crushed, while
Barnes and Kerr were lying in n corner
slashed with knives. Each grasped a
knife in his hand. The surroundings
showed that the battle had been long
and terrible. 1t is thought that Barnes
struck his wife with jug for scolding
him for coming home drunk, and that
her brother then attacked Barnes.

SOUTH AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
The Combining of Several Government
Seems to Presage warfare.


Seems to Prcsage Warfare.
A telegram from Montevideo says
that it is believed that Paraguay will
join the Chili-Brazil alliance if it has
not already done so. 1t is discovered
that Paraguay has bought 10000 rifles.
1t is believed that the money was adj
vanced through Chilain sources.
Uruguay will probably suspend the
foreign debt payments for the purpose
of paying for the rifles she has bought.
There are reports from Ascension that
ex-Chilian officers are drilling the
Paraguayan infantry and artillery.
The projected alliance between Chill,
Brazil and Paraguay has been con-
firmed and there is reason to believe
the story that the journey of Senior
Decoud, of Paraguay, to Rio was for
the purpose of signing the triple
treaty.
