Dynamite Placed UnGer a Build
ing Sontaining People.
The FIENOS' OBJECT UNKNOWN
Thre Inmates of the Hruse We're Kmed
ou right aud Four Badly Injured,
Several Seriously.

WTLKEsBARRE. Penn, Oct. 28.-A large
Hungarian boarding house at Laurel Run
this county, was blown to atoms by dyna-
mlters at o'clock this morning and three
OF the inmates killed outright four badly
injured and half dozen seriously hurt.
The killed are: Frank Eowaski, Michael
Csllets, George Silocky. The most danger
ously injured are Joseph Callets, back
hurt; Mike Goshit, head cut, left arm
broken; kasha Kateresk, one leg broken
other crushed, necessitating amputatton;
Michael Uritz. abdomen torn Bash Krell
both arms broken; Fair Kotzch, shoulder
broken, injured internally; Anthony
Sechleck. back and breast crushed; Uritz
Mishko, legs crushed.
Plans Laid Only Too Well.
The fiends who planned the explosion aid
their work well, despite the fact that part
of the plan failed. They placed "a sticks of
dynamite under the building, each being
about nine inches long and weighing about
half a pound. A wire connected the sticks
with battery about so yards away. When
the signal was given only about b alf a dozen
of the sticks exploded. They were suffi
cient, however, 10 completely wreck the
building not beam or plank of which was
left standing.
Several of the inmates who were on the
some OF them escaping fatal injuries by
lighting on trees near by. Half dszed by
fear. they managed to hold on TO the linn bs
OF the trees until they recovered their
senses and were able to reach the ground.
Like a Battlefield.
A track walker who arrived on the scene
shortly after TIE explosion, says it re-
sembled a battlefield. The cries of the in
jured were heartrending. Some were In
trees; others lying on the ground and under
the debris of the wrecked building.
One OF the boarders who escaped injury
made his way to neighboring shanty and
awoke the inmates. Blankets and bed.
ding we're carried to the scene and the in
jured made as comfortable as possible. The
boarding boss says he is at loss to know
what prompted the dastardly deed. AS far
as he knows, he has no enemies In the
world.
Some of the ooarders think the motive
was robbery, as several of them were known
to have considerable money in their nos
session. Ii this was the object of the
1ends. 1t is plain why they placed so much
OF the explosive under the building. They
wanted to kill every person in the building
in order to get the plumber and then es-
cane detection.
Up to o'clock tonight no arrests have
peen make. One of the wounded men SAYS
Immediately after the explosion he saw
four strange men running down the road
leading to the village at Miners Mills.
While he lay on the ground stranger APP
preached him and rifed his pockets. He
also cut belt which encircled his waist and
carried IL away. Another of the injured
gives II as his opinion that the men seen on
the ground after the explosion were tramps.

WAS TO BRIDE CORRESPONDENTS.
A Newspaper Man Got "a Big Purse
From the Sugar TRUST

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 The Evening Star
publishes the following story, which gives
promise of an outcome Of interest to the
public:
IF current reports are true, there is a
syndicate writer In New York whose name
is to be found at the loot of articles in many
cities OF the union. who may have a very
unpleasant quarter of an hour with Wash
ington correspondents before the next
session OF congress shall end. The story
has reached here that one OF the incide.it
of the sugar trust campaign In Washington
last winter was the raising of purse by
the sugar trust people 10 be given this en-
terprising correspondent to be distributed
in Washington among press people where il
would do the most good. in the opinion of
those who furnished the money, and that
place was the pockets of those representa-
tive of the press of the country here who
with or without right, are supposed 10 have
influence in congress ami 10 the making of
public opinion throughout the country.
There are limitations even that the
men who furnished money did so under
the impression that it was to be distributed
pro-rat9 among representatives, of the press
IN Washington, in expectation that the
comments upon the operations of the sugar
trust would be either less severe or that
they would be altogether withheld.
1T is assumed that the distributor of
this fund was TO receive his commission.
The man VINO undertook TO disburse this
lund did so with the full knowledge that it
would not be safe for him to approach any
of the gentlemen whose names may have
appeared on this pretended list or for any
such purpose whatever"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Today the
following telegram was sent to the Sec
rotary of state:
Referring to your communication in
regard to the prohibition of American
cattle and fresh beef by Germany
please represent to the American am
bassador that the Texas fever Is not

meat cattle affected by this dis
ease have never been shown TO be
dangerous to consumers. This govern

cattle are absolutely prohl from

would prevent such cattle from reach

admitted to be within the bounds of
possibility that some cattle cars might

thus have caused one or two cases of
fever, but it is said to be very improba-
bic.
