Terrific Explosion at Long Island
City.
Six Persons Lose Their Lives and Many
Others Are Seriously IIJured-Build-
ingS Collapse and Burn, Causing
scene of Terror Among
the Inmates.

LoNa ISLAND CITY, L. l., Dec. 29-At
8 o'clock yesterday morning box OF
dynamite exploded in the shaft sunk
for the new East River tunnel in this
city. The explosion set fire to the four
story brick building adjoining and
shattered every pane in the buildings
for blocks around. Six persons were
killed, and two fatally and three seri-
ously injured
The explosion was so terrific
that nearly every building on jack
son avenue, from Fifth street to Borden
avenue, was either destroyed or badly
damaged. The structures include the
postofiice and Sylvester & Co Is factory
All Of the killed received fractured
skulls and were horribly cut by glass
The injured were all badly cut by glass
from the broken windows 1t Is said
now that the postmaster saved all the
valuable letters that were in the post
office when the explosion occurred.
Directly opposite the scene Of the ex-
plosion were row Of tenements, occu-
pied by fifteen families Every apart
ment was wrecked and the debris
caught fire from the overturned stoves
The scene following the explosion was
terrible Men, women and children
only partially clad rushed wildly from
every possible exit in the greatest ex-
citement, screaming loudly. The dis
trict where the explosion occurred Is
the most thickly inhabited section Of
the city.
For half q mile jackson and Vernon
avenues present peculiar sight Hard
ly an unbroken pane of glass can be
found within that radiua
Gray's refrigerator factory, opposite
the scene Of the explosion, was almost
completely wrecked. A Anumber Of peo-
pie were at work in the building at the
time, but how many Of them were in
jured Is not known.
The yards of the New York and Long
Island tunnel company are bounded by
jackson and Vernon avenues Tene-
ment houses Of brick and frame and
stores line both Of these thorough
fares The explosion was directly in
the rear The company is building a
tunnel between this city and the New
York Central depot A great deal Of
dynamite Is used In blasting. Tuesday
night the dynamite froze. The men
needed some yesterday morning and
placed three barrels Of cartridges just
back OF the ttnements TO be thawed.
Then they built bonfire beside the
cartridges The fire burned nearer to
the dynamite than was intended and
the result was the terrific and diastrous
explosion.

ofths Passengers.
QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 28-The steamship
Noordland, with q broken shaft, was
towed into Queenstown harbor by the
steamship Ohio last evening. All the
passengers were on deck waving hats
and handkerchiefs and cheering.
Anchor was dropped and the passen-
gers were removed to shore by tender
All showed signs Of the anxiety which
they had suffered; some OF the elderly
steerage passengers were hardly able TO
walk and several women fell on their
knees and cried the moment they were
landed.
The voyage Of the Noordland was
tempestuous almost from the hour of
leaving Sandy Hook. The wind blew
almost hurricane ami the ship had
much difficulty In making headway
through the waves.
The Noordland labored along success
fully until Thursday evening. /. was
bitter cold, and the passengers were
congratulating themselves on nearing
the end Of their stormy voyage when a
tremendous crash was heard and the
vessel quivered from end TO end. Three
terrific blows resounded one after the
other, as II the vessel was being struck
by a gigantic hammer which indeed
was the fact The fright Of some of the
people was pitiful TO beho d. They
rushed hither and. thither, delaying the
officers In their efforts 10 get ut the
cause and extent of the disaster. The en-
gfnes raced furiously while the broken
shaft, for that proved to be the danger,
seemed abont 10 crush the ship at every
conclusion. Water rushed into the
tube. msnacing the stolSchold and the
engine rooms, and panic-stricken pas
senRers thought for while that the
vessel was about TO sink
The Noordland lay helpless, tossed by
the gale, and as the water rushed in
there seemed imminent danger OF sink
ing. The pumps were manned and put
70 work, every man Of the crew being
sarnmoned TO duty. For twenty-four
honrs continuously the pumps were
kept at work and the water prevented
from gaining on the vessel.
At the time Of the accident the Noord-
land was 400 miles west OF Queenstown.
The crippled steamer was sighted by
the steamship Ohio. which left Phiia-
delphia on the same day that the Noord-
land left New York and needed assist-
ance was at once extended. casa

Destruction OF tho Street Railway Com

Million Doiiars-Prociamation By the
Mayor. l-
MILWAUKEE. VIA, Dec. 2o.-At 2
o'clock yesterday morning fire was dis
covered In the northwest corner OF the
Milwaukee Street Railway Company's
shops which destroyed the entire plant,
entailing q loss of $500, ,00o Like the
other terrible fires with which Milwau-
kee has been visited during the past
seventy-two hours this one also Ia ap-
parently Of incendiary origin. The
night watchman, who first discovered
the fire, says that II started In the car
nearest the doorway Of the building.
His story Is that he was standing near
the car when suddenly he was startled
by loud explosion and in less than five
minutes the whole building was ablaze.
On one side were the stables, where
fully seventy-five horses and mules
were kept These were liberated and
nearly all gotten out On the other
side were the car stables where about
100 cars were stored and all these were
burned. II Is In their loss the company
will sustain the greatest damage. The
machine shops were also destroyed.
These shops were built the past season
and were fitted with very fine machin-
cry
Manager Linn, Of the street car COM
pany, said: "our loss is about S5lo, 900.
The cars stored in the building were
kept In the building and were
valued at $3.50, 900, while the structure
itself is worth at least $50, 900. The
machinery | value at fully $4,000,
while the stores Of the company were
worth t25,OO0 The only insurance that
we carried amounts TO about go, ,0OO."
The loss will fall upon the Willard
syndicate which owns the road +
II seems TO be pretty we'll esta blished
that the fire was caused by the explo-
sion Of bomb, which was thrown
through the main doorway and struck
the car standing nearest TO the en-
trance. II Is said that Chief Foley has
received an anonymous letter declaring
that the big incendlary fires Of the last
few weeks are part of concerted plan
TO destroy the city, and that the fire.

TowsEa MET AIs MAroH.
A Dog HaB Difficulty with q Gander and

A Dog Has Difculty with Gander and
Comes Out Second Best.
A bit OF meat cast on the lake In one
OF the parks of Allegheny City recently
gave forcible illustration Of the re
nowned pugilistic qualities of the genus
Anser. The scrap was tossed to an
old gray gander, sailing and dipping ma
Jestically back and forth, with his harem
at safe and respectful distance behind
him. Just as he made a graceful dive
forward stray dog, of hungry aspect
and venturesome turn of mind, made for
the meat also. The gander paused,
astonishment written in every line of
his craned neck ard extended wings.
The dog frislsily brought up at the
waters edge and reached out a paw.
The coveted morsel was midway be-
tween him and the gander Quick as
thought the gander slapped the water
with his wings, beating the scrap be-
low the surface and diving after 1t.
Somehow he miscalculated, and when
he came up the morsel was dancing
few feet away. The dog, says the
Pittsburgh Times, was softly dimpling
the water with his paw. At every wave
the scrap came nearer to him. The
harem drew closer around It's lord, and
the Oldest in the flock gave few words
of advice to him. She received o sound
slap with wing, apparently command
20 mind her own business. Just as the
dog reached out for the meat the gan
der gave lunge also. Bill and paw
both missed it. 1t disappeared, only to
rise tantalizingly few feet away.
The dog was no longer hilarious.
This was too serious business, and he
ran up and down the shore, bark angri-
ly, while the gander retired TO wreals
vengeance on his haplcss harem. A
moment later, seeing the scrap almost
ashore on the waves of the conflict, he
made a sudden dash. So did the dog.
They met, and for few seconds gray
wings, dog hair and wild screams
of purp and gander filed the air. Then
the dog trotted slowly away with q
face full Of religious fervor turned
toward the theological seminary, while
the gander, wiping the sweat OF VIC
tory from his brow, carried the scrap,
for which he seemed to have lost his
appetite, to his proud family.

A Man Who Camped With Them
Three Weeks Ago.
FORT MIssoULA. Mont. Nov. D.
News has just been received that man
named Larson, living near Lolo, claims
to have camped with the Carlin hunting
party about three weeks ago on the
middle fork of the Clearwater. The
Carlin party. Larson says, were with a
couple of French boys who have a
prospect there, and were we'll supplied
with food for the winter, having 500
pounds of flour, and plenty of meat.
The relief party from the fort can only
return by way OF the trail, and all trans
portatiOn Will be left where il is until
spring. as it is impossible to get it out
this winter. Maj. McKibbiu, the officer
in charge at Fort Missoula, says that,
although Larson, who claims TO have
seen the CaIlln party, states that CarlIn
and his friends are we'll supplied to
winter III the Clearwater country, every
effort Will be made to find the party,
No immediate action. however. Will be
taken until further advices are received
from Gen. Carlin. A member of the
rescue party says that it is too early to
again make the attempt. as the snow is
too soft for snow shoe travel. the only
way IN which it is now hoped to reach
Carlin anG his friends. The idea of
relief from the way first chosen has
been abandoned and ali energies are
now directed to getting the relief party
safely back. Those who went over the
summit and into tho valley have had
such hard time on account of storms
and deep snow that their own lives
have been endangered, and they have
lost nearly ali their animals, and 1t
will take hard work TO get them out
without loss of life.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
Cabinet Officers Will Not Speak
Until Congress Opens.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-It was stated
at the war department this afternoon,
after Secretary Lamont had returned
from the White house, that none of the
reports OF the cabinet officers would be
given out or made public until after
congress had met, and the message of
the president sent in. The reason for
this is believed TO be that
so much OF what is contained in the
message would be foreshadoWed in the
reports OF members of the cabinet, as
has been the case where assistants to
heads or departments and bureau eff
GERS have made reports which embodv
much that must necessarily appear in
the report OF the head department.

retary Smith Of the interior department
is given III an evening paper here
which Is made up almost entirely of re-
ports made by bureau chiefs in Secre-
tary Smiths department. The secre-
tary has been compelled to lay aside

WINNIPEG, Man.. Nov. 22.-In spite
or glaring attempts to corrupt the cleo
tOrate with large sums of money sent
here from Ottawa, Winnepeg today de-
clared in an unmistakable manner for
tariff reform and freer trade relations
with the United States. Ii was the oc-
casion of the bye election for the Do
miniOn house caused by the resignation
or Hugh John Macdonald. Joseph
Martin. late provisional attorney gen.
eral, was the tariff reform candidate, and
Colin II. Campbell opposed him on the
government ticket. The issue was
completely on the tariff question, and
the eyes of all Canada centered in the
contest, as it was felt the result would
have an important influence in the COM
ing general elections. The Ottawa
government was much concerned. and
did all in its power to win the seat for
Campbell, but SO strong is the sentiment
for tariff reform that Martin was re-
turned by majority of 435. Two years
ago Macdonald;s majority was 500 on
the government ticket. There is great
rejoicing, and the city is grandly illumi-
mated.
