DEADLY DYNAMITE.

Frightful Results of an Explosion at Hunt
ington, Iud.-Three Workmen Killed.
HUNTINGTON, Ind, Nov. 10.-A fright
full explosion occurred at $3.50 Friday
morning which resulted in the death
of three men-John Hartman, Norton
Keefer and John Flynn, all married.
The explosion took place at the Flint
creek sewer, which crosses the city from
northeast to southwest. The contract
ors are Henry Keefer, of this city, and
Henry S. Hallwood, of Columbus, o.
The employees were just going to work.
Probably 100 men were in and around
the ditch. Some of them had built a
fire on the bank and were thawing out
fifty-pound box Of dynamite.
Suddenly there was tremendous ex-
plosion and the entire city was shaken
by IT. Keefer, Hartman and Flynn
were nearest to the fire. Hartman was
literally torn to pieces. His body awas
lifted in the air 300 feet and fell on
Market street sidewalk, square away.
His legs were blown off near the hips,
both arms torn off, his head half torn
away, and the body completely disem-
boweled. One of Hartman's feet was
shot through the weather boarding of
Frank Windle's residence and it was
necessary to pry the timbers apart with
a crowbar to remove it.
Keefer was not killed outright His
body dropped into the sewer. After
he was taken out he regained con-
sciousness for moment, but died on
the way home in an ambulance. His
death was caused by shock, no bones
being broken.
Flynn's legs were both broken, his
arms broken in several places and his
head crushed. He lived several hours.
Every house within two squares was
damaged. The residence of Marion
Wilbur, c. & E. passenger engineer,
was totally destroyed. The building
was blown to pieces. Mrs. Wilbur was
in bed and was thrown upon the floor,
but escaped injury. The residences of
Frank Windle, Dr. II. NJ. Beaverl Chris
Almon, Sherman Stults and others
were badly wrecked and the property
loss will be several thousand dollars.

AMERICANS HAVE LARGE CONNER

That Is why We Are Concerned In the DIFF
flculty Between Nicaragua and the Mos
quito Indians-HistoricI Interest of tho
Mosquito Coast.
The international complication at
Bluefelds, in Nicaragua, has been some
what of a puzzle to newspaper readers
not particularly well posted in Central
American affairs. 1t was we'll enough
understood from the dispatches that the
Nicaraguan government or its represent
ative, General LacaJ }, had overthrown
the Mosquito government, but just why
the United States and England should
get mixed up in the affair was not cas-
lily apparent to those who did not know
that England has for years asserted a
virtual protectorate over the Mosquito
Indians, and that American citizens had
developed practically all the industries
and commerce of the country.
Though the Mosquito country is with.
in the territorial limits of Nicaragua,
the Indians, who have occupied it from
time immemorial, have always been
practically independent and have been
absolutely so since 1860, when England
made treaty with Nicaragua by which
they were guaranteed the right of self
government Under this treaty the Mic
araguan government was permitted to
send q commissioner into the MOSQUITO
country to look out for it's interests, but

of the Indians so long as they did not
interfere with the sovereign powers of
the republic.
After this treaty had been made the
Indians and all the inhabitants of Blue
fields, which had sprung up as a sea-
port town on the Caribbean coast, held a
general council and adopted constitu
ton providing for republican form of
government, divided into executive, leg.
islative and judicial departments. The
new government began it's administra-
ton Sept. IL, 1861, and has since been
the sole source of authority In tho Mos.
quito reservation.
In 1881 some enterprising Americans
went down there and began the oultiva-
ton and expectation of tropical fruits,
leasing land for their plantations from
the Mosquito government. Gold was
discovered, and tho Americans did not
hesitate to invest their capital In the
mines. The cutting and shipping of ma
hogany and other valuable woods and
also the india rubber trade developed
into an extensive commerce. In the
gold, hard wood and rubber industries
alone Americans have 50, 600, 900 of cap
ital invested.
. Twelve years ago the commerce Of the
Mosquito reservation amounted to moth
ing, and now the volume of trade
amounts to 81, 900, 900 annually. Twelve
steamers ply between Bluefelds and the
southern ports Of the United States,
making "a voyages each month. Two
million punches of bananas are export
ed annually, besides the large quantities
of mahogany, gold dust, rubber and CO.
coanuts, and all to the United States
The United States send back in return
25, 900 half barrels Of hcxr annually, be-
sides large quantities or beans, lard

products.

by the following officials: The chief

The Mosquito coast is historically in
teresting as the place where Columbus
made his first landing on the continent
four centuries ago His landing place,
which he named Cabo de Gracias Dins
Cape of Thanks to Cody, is at the north
ern boundary Of what is now the Mos
quito reservation, strip of territory ex-
tending some 200 miles along the Carib-
bean coast and averaging about 35 miles
in width. The friendly Indians whom
Columbus found there, and who received
him with cordial hospitality, were the
progenitors of the Mosquitoes of today.
They were inoffensive sleepy children
of nature, who had never learned the
utility of eXertion, because ample sus-
tenance was provided for them by ma

The news that Frank Hatton, editor
of the Washington Post, had been
stricken with paralysis, and the an
nouncement of his death few days
later, caused sorrow among a very wide
circle Of friends Mr.. Hatton was excep-
tionally popular with newspaper men,
among whom he was generally, accepted
as a sort of standard for all that is
honest, vigorous and independent. He
was hard fighter, but always a fair
one, and had few personal enemies even
among those who felt his hardest blows.
AS politician he was q Republican
of the sta1wart stripe, but his friend
ships were not circunscribed by party
lines, and many prominent Democrats
were proud of his friendship.
Mr.. Hatton was native of Ohio and
was born at Cambridge April IS, 1916.
His father was for years editor of the
Cadiz Republican, and Frank acted as
devil in the printing office when only
10 years of age He soon became fore
man and then editor, but left his desk
to enlist in the Union army in 1862,
serving through the war and coming out
with the rank of first lieutenant. In
