BURNED BY POWDER.
Peculiar Accident BY Which One
Man Dies and Others May. Follow
Him.

Perry, o. T., Oct 2.-An accident
occurred last night ten or fifteen miles
north Of here by which one man will
lose his life and probably several
others will die. Mr.. and Mrs. L. G..
Slade and their daughter and Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Stewart and their four
children started on a hunt for plover,
and as they were crossing a fork of
Black Bear creek large package of
powder ignited and the clothing of
every person in the wagon was set on
fire.
Mr. Stewart, who was driving, was
blown out Of the wagon, as were also
Mrs. Slade and her daughter Stewards
clothing was burning, and he fell
against the horses and they ran away
Stewart was horribly mangled and
burned The other persons in the wagon
ran and jumped into the creek and
succeeded in putting the fire out, but
not until several of the party were
seriously burned. The entire party had
nearly all their clothing burned from
them. All were carried to a small coun-
try store near by and physicians sum-
moned, but it is thought that Stewart,
two of his children and Miss Slade can
not live

Toronto, Ont. Oct. 2.-High Con-
stable Bissonnett, of Montreal, has ar
rived in the city with a warrant for the
arrest of three passenger conductors on
the Grand Trunk railway. Two are
now in custody, Fred Tamblin and c.
A. De Fries. The charge is that they
allowed passengers to ride without
paying their fare or, having paid their
fare, appropriated it to their own use.
The Grand Trunk railway appears to
have unearthed a plot to defraud it. A
few days ago two young men-Harry
Wilkinson and Edgar Taliafero-were
arrested in Montreal on a charge of
forging railway passes. This led to the
arrest in that city, Friday, Of Conduc-
tors John Mulligan and John Stone.
The charge was altered to that OF de-
frauding the company out of the price

Drummer Disappears.

San Francisco. Oct. 2.-F. E. Yale,
drummer for the cloak house of Gus
tave Blum, SIS Walker street, New York,
disappeared from the Baldwin hotel in
this city two months ago and nothing
has since been heard from him. A
month later a woman called at the
hotel, stating that she was Yale's wife
and intimating that he had been so
long absent from her as to arouse her
alarm. She repeated her inquiries on
successive days and the hotel manager,
becoming suspicious, telegraphed to the
Blum firm in New York. The reply
was guarantee of the hotel bill and a
request that the trunks be returned to
New York. While his baggage was at
the hotel, Yale did not sleep there. His
mail at the postoffice is uncalled for.
His desertion of his firm and friends is
considered singular, inasmuch as he
was seen on the streets after the tele-
graphic communication with his en-
plOyerS.

ENCOURAGES CLUBBING.
Policemen Allowed Liberties That
Would Put n Citizen in the Pen.

Would Put u Citizen in the Pen
New York, Oct. 2-The clubbing by
the police was the subject of today's
inquiry by the LeXow committee.
About fifty policemen were present.
They were, said Lawyer Frank Moss,
officers convicted by the board of po-
lice for clubbing citizens.
Our object" the attorney continued,
lis to show that while there had been
a hundred convictions the past three
years for clubbing, only four dsmissals
have occurred. We allege that the
board encourages clubbing by falling
properly TO punish it,
Golf added that of four dismissals
only one was for clubbing a citizen
the other three being for clubbing
brother officers.
Then Golf made this astounding
statement:
Policemen commit felonies which
would put a civilian in prison and are
only punished by a fine. A citizen may
be Drained and a brutal officer will
only have to fear a probable fine of
ten days pay. We call your attention
to the perjury of the committee when
these policemen are brought to trial
To quote the language of the police
commissioner, the air at police head
quarters trial room is full of perjury"
Lawyer Moss was sworn. He testi-
fed that he was counsel to the Park
hurst society and member of the ex-
ecutive committee. He then told of the
efforts of the West Twenty-fifth Street
Property Owners association to puri-
fy the block. Captain Alexander S.
Williams sent a ward man around to
the Indignation Meeting association to
tell them to drop work, or he would
club them out of the precinct. Moss
said he replied:

freshmen and sophomores. babe fair

two classes formed and marched in the
yard cheering and preparing to rush at

There were some minor disturbances

that broke over that territory this
evening. AS far as known there were
no fatalities. The storm struck En-

half an hours time had done thou

shrubbery were uprooted, signs and

Deed of Dastards.

Sacramento Cal, Oct. 2.-There is
great indignation here over the action
of some unknown persons who, under
cover of darkness, last night defaced
the fence surrounding the convent of
the sisters of mercy, daubing it with
the letters "a. p A" The, letters are
in some instances three feet high and
the fence, which encloses the entire
block, is so marked every twenty or
thirty feet. The work was evidently
done after some prepare ton. After the
fence had been lettered in this manner
the parties threw a bucket full of black
paint over the door to the convent en-
closure. The sisters have for thirty
five years been doing acts of charity in
this city, and have earned the respect
of people of all creeGs.

passengers jumped from the car before
it went over and a dozen or more were
severely bruised. Only two persons went

Baltimore Suffering From Baseball
Lunacy.

Baltimore. Nd. Oct. 2.-After a con-
tinuous round of ovations accorded
them on their journey through Mary
land, the pennant winners arrived here
today. Probably never in the history
of the national game was there any
thing in the way of a demonstration to
greet the visitors approaching The
scenes depicted here.
The situation can be briefly stated by
saying that Baltimore is baseball wild.
Nothing approaching the greeting given
the members of the Baltimore baseball
club by the mighty throng assembled
at the Baltimore depot can be imagined
by anyone not there. When order was
finally restored at the depot, d process
sion such as but few have seen oc-
Cured. Governor Frank Brown, in a
carriage, led the line and following him
came nearly every prominent man in
the city. After it had passed through
the principal streets, it was headed for
the armory, where reception was held.
After the reception, the players were
escorted to the hotel Rennert where a
banquet wound up the days festivities.

ago. His father, DR.. Mcclure, was one
of the most respected citizens Of the

Vate, served all through the war, and
returned home with the rank of cap

shortly afterWard inherited an estate

CAUSED BY A DRUMMER.
Domestic Discord in n Prominent
| Family at Washington, d. c.

Family at Washington, ID. G.
Washington, Oct. "A domestic dis
cord in the family of DR.. A. H. Glennan,
had a violent sequel this morning when
Arthur and Kenneth, the two Oldest chill
dren, were forcibly taken from their
sleeping apartments in the home of the
mother by party of unknown men, in
stigated Mrs. Glennan asserts, by her
husband.
DIR. and Mrs. Glennan have not lived
together for about three years. The doc
tor attempted to secure possession of
the children through the courts, but fail
ed. He is surgeon in the Marine hos
pltal service and his wife was formerly
Miss Susie Rainier, daughter of Joseph
K. Rainier, a long time congressman
from North Carolina. Mrs. Glennan and
her two sons have been occupying rooms
on the third floor of the boarding house
and early this morning the mother was
awakened by the breaking in of the
doors leading to her own and her sons
room. She screamed, but before the occu-
pants of the house were aroused the chill
dren were siezed and carried away. Four
men composed the party. and Mrs. Glen
nan, alleges that one of the men was her
husband.
Further developments put a new light
on the case and make the affair assume
entirely different aspects from that given
by Mrs. Glennan. It is alleged, in bill
for divorce filed today, alat DR.. Glen
nan last night found his wife in a COM
promising condition with a commercial
traveller named Silling, of Alexandria,
Va, and that it was upon this discov-
cry he took the children from her Gus
tody. DR.. Glennan, it is said by his
friends, has had his wife under surveil-
lance for some time past. About two
years ago he sued for a divorce and
named Surgeon Magruder. of the Marine
hospital service, as correspondent, the
offense at the time not being proven.
Today, however on the evidence al
legged to have been secured last night,
DR.. Glennan filed suit for divorce against
Mrs. Glennan and named Silling as CO.
respondent alleging offenses at Harper's
Ferry and other places to the plaintiff
unknown, and also at the place where he
says he discovered his wife in Silling's
company last night.
