Stern cannot get the place he applied
for because this place was given to an

and Three Injured.
NEWPORT. R. l.. July 4.-The United
States torpedo station caught fire in the
gun cotton factory, situated on the site
of old Fort George, on the West side of
the island, and directly in the rear of
the location. 1t started about 1:4O, not
as an explosion, but as a fire pure and
simple. Work was at once begun in re-
moving the large quantity of gun cotton
contained in the building to place of
safety, and it is believed that nearly the
entire amount was gotten out by the
regular force attached to the station.
Before the work was entirely COM
pleted, however. fire reached part of
the gun cotton. and an explosion fol-
lowed, killing two men and injuring
three others. The killed are Frank
Laughlin and jeremiah Harrington,
aged twenty-seven and thirty-two years
respectively.

southbound train had reached point
near Goodwin Station, where the engineer
saw wha. he supposed was the body of q
man lying Ia the slough not: far from the

body brought to the baggage-car. 1t soon
became evident that the cold form con-
tanned life. and the man was brought on
to PeialHma ana removedin an express
wagon TO the American stable.
City Marshal Collins was notified Of the
case and he promptly secured medical aid
and the unfortunate man was removed to
the City Hall. where he was nj de as COM
Portable as possible by means of good
bed and roaring fire. The victim was
carefully examined 10 ascertain if his body
bore any marks indicative of violent
usage. but nothing of the kind was dis
covered. 1t was plain to be seen that the
almost lifeless condition OF the man was
due TO the terrible exposure of lying In the
nearly frozen water through a very cold
night. =F.t--
Ed Edwards and Henry Reese worked
very hard and faithfully in an effort al
resusctatlon, and before long their labors
were rewarded by distinct signs of return
ing life. But throughout the whole day
and evening 1t was impossible to tell
whether he had even fighting chance for
life.
This morning he died without regaining
consciousness. His identity is mystery.
He was identified at first as James Kelly,
a rancher in this vicinity. but it has been
settled that be is not the man. Fred
Starke of Penns Grove Identified him as
one of two men who were seen i'm an in
toxieafed condition near his place late
Thursday night. A bottle which had been
filled with alcohol was found beside the
dying man, and bore the fresh label or q

HUNTINGTON EXPLAINS.
Rumors of Non-Payment of Central
Pacific Dividends. J..

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Rumors as to the
non-payment oil dividends on the bonds OF
the Central Pacific afloat on Wall street
caused that stock to weaken and made G.
p. Huntington explain the relations be-
tween the Southern Pacific and that road
He said the rumor probably got its start
from the recent revision of the lease be-
tween ths two roads. The original lease
from the Central Pacific to the Southern
Pacific. made In 1885. contained the fol-
lowing provision:
IF at any time it appears that by the
operation of this agreement either party
is being benefited at the expense of the
other, then this agreement is all TO be re-
yised and changed so that such will not
be the operation thereof"
From the statements of the two roads il
appears that for several years past the
business of both has bo"n such that the
Central has profited at the expense of the
Southern Pacific. therefore 1t was cOnsId-
cred that the time had come for q revision
of the terms of the lease. and such change
was accordingly made. Under the revised
lease the Central Pacific is entitled to all
its earnings until such earnings shall ex-
coed per cent On the par value of the out
standing capital stock of the Central Pa
cific, after which any excess Of earnings is
to be divided equally between the Central
Pacific and the Southern Pacific. ;.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-In common ting on the

condemns the management of American
railways generally, and referring to the

not state the case plainly in few lines.
The Economist says 1t does not know

shareholders entirely in the dark. The
Economist further says: "We are loath to
make such charge against American Off
Gals, yet we are compelled to believe it o I
else the whole system of finance adopted Is
entirely rotten. No wonder investors on
this side are disguised with such chcanery.
They need to enjoy absolute superiority OF
faith or credulity to believe any longer ia
the honesty OF most American railway
arrangements"
Bretherton, London director of the
Central Pacific Railroad. SAYS the pnb-

guaranteeda dividend on Central Pacific
shares is obviously erroneous. He adds
the Southern Pacific does not guarantee
any dividend on the Central Pacific shares.

MRS. EVANS FoRr1ALLY CHARGED
She Must Answer for Being Guilty
of Completely i'm Her Hus-
bands Escape.

FRESNO, Dec. 3O.-Two days have
passed since Chris Evans made his break
for liberty and escaped from the Fresno
jail. and the bandits good fortune seems
to have returned to him again. He has
thus far succeeded in completely Guiding
his pursuers. and every additional hour
that be is free makes his capture less
probable.
In fact, there are many people here IN
Fresno and among his friends in Visalia.
where he was best known. who say he Will
never be taken alive, and now that he has
kept out OF the way for two days they are
inclined TO doubt whether the officers will
ever get glimpse of him again.
His knowledge OF the mountains is per-
feet, and even before he was driven from
civilization last year, and forced to take
up his habitation in the hill Is. he knew the
trails aud passes and canyons well, and he
will now have the officers very much at a
disadvantage by reason of this knowledge.
No tidings from Sheriff Scott and his
posse have been received to-day. They
pushed right on from Sanger in the direc-
ton of Simpsons Fiat. and will pursue
the fugtlves as long as there Is any posi-
bility Of retaking them.
The excitement here over the escape of
Evans has subsidized somewhat, and the
men who went out to join in the search
have all returned, with the exception of
those who compose the Sherff's party.
OF course, but little else Is talked about,
and every one has something to say about
the ease and .boldness with which the
bandit walked out of Jail.
From what Jaier Frank Manley can
learn Evans aimed TO 60 out when be was
on duty, and Manley is very glad that he
did not do so.
Evans has a grudge against him on ac-
count OF his not admitting Evans two
little girls together TO the cell after he was
convicted. Manley. was obeying orders,
and let only one in at a time. 1t Is thought
that a mum Der of people here knew of the
intended break.
Mrs. Evans was brought before Justice
Austin to-day and formally charged with
completely in the releasing of her husband. /
She was held to answer and her bonds
placed at $4,000. Her brother, George
Byrd, is expected to come from Visalia at
once and bring bondsmen with him.
So far as Mrs. Evans is concerned pub
lie opinion here does not condemn her so
strongly as might be expected While it
