The Custody of the Children Awarded

New YORK. March 5.-Judge Barrett
has granted absolute divorce to Mrs. Alva
Vanderbilt from William Vanderbilt.
The decree by Justice Barrett award s
the custody of the children to Mrs. Van
derbilt, it being provided that they shall
be educated in the United States. The
action was begun on January Sd last. The
defendant put in an answer denying the

filed his report January 18th. On Febru-
airy 9TH and 18th the hearings were had at

NEW York, March GA special dis
patch from Port of Spain, Trinidad, to
morning paper says: This city has
missed almost total destruction by fire.
The loss will amount to nearly $4,000, 900,
the chief business section having been
the center of the confagration. Nearly
10000 people would have been houseless,
were 1t not for the assistance given by the
United States Atlantic squadron and
H. NJ. S. Buzzard in extinguishing the
flames.
The facilities for fighting the fire are
very unsatisfactory, and the people are
very indolent. The Maraval Water
Works, which lie several miles distant.
are ample for ordinary purposes, but they
are not sufficient for a great emergency.
Soon after the flames got headway in
the town Rear Admiral Meade signaled
from the Newark to the Raleigh and the
Cincinnati to land as many men as could
be spared, and multaneously the flag
ships boats went into the water. There
was lively rivalry among the men from
each ship to reach the fire first, especially
as the English cruiser Buzzard, having a
nearer anchorage, also bestirred herself
to land her party. From the United
States vessels more than $50 men were
sent ashore, while the Buzzard landed
about fifty.
Each boats crew were supplied with
fire buckets, axes and ropes, and the
plan of action was quickly laid down and
carried out. Chains of bucket parties
were formed and steady stream of
water was thus conveyed to the lee side
of the fire to prevent it's spread as much
as possible.
To extinguish the buildings already
burning or in close proximity to the
flames was impossible. and all efforts
were concentrated on tearing down the
buildings around the main conflagration,
and wetting down everything upon
which sparks and burning fragments
might fall.
Organized men determined fighting the
flames at last had good effect, and the
advance OF the fire was checked, though
not until the sailor men, as well as the
towns people, were thoroughly ex-
hausted.
Several OF the American seamen had
narrow escapes.
Everything is in confusion, and it will
| take several days to determine whether
there was any loss of lite among the in
habitants. The city will be overwhelmed
for years before it RECEIVERS.

the Constitutional Convention.
SALT LAKE, March 5.-The Committee
on Credentials appointed by the Consti-
tutional Convention yesterday made a
report TO the convention this morning de-
claring that affidavits had been filed with
them tending to show that the five dele
gates from the Third Salt Lake District
who had not received certificates had
been elected. The report was submitted
without recommendation.
A. n. Horn moved to refer the report
back to the committee with instructions
to ascertain the qualifications of the
mem bers-elect. This motion brought on
lengthy debate, as Apostle John Henry
Smith, who was still out of the conven-
ton, was strong favorite of the Repub-
llcan majority for President OF the con-
ventlon, and an effort was made to keep
the question back until the permanent
organization was made.
The motion was carried-61 to 81,
Shortly afterward the Credentials Com
mittee reported TO the convention that
they had examined the evidence in the
Third Precinct cases, and that the follow
ing-named delegates were entitled to
seats: George w. Emery, w. B. Preston,
John Henry Smith, A. kimba and A.
Il. Raleigh, three of whom are Democrats
and two Republicans. The report was
adopted and the additional members
sworn in. Adjournment was then taken
to l0:30 tomorrow.
The Republican members held a eau
Gus this afternoon and agreed upon the
following permanent officers of the con-
vention: President, John Henry Smith.

ANDERSON Ind.), March 5.-The most
destructive natural-gas explosion in the
history of the Indiana natural-gas belt
occurred this morning. A SIS, 900 BUSH
ness block on Courthouse Square was
blown over the central part of the city.
In the building were a clothing store,
Prather's shoe store and HandIey's drug
store. Business offices and a hall were
on the upper floor. A fire followed the
explosion, which was like an earthquake,
and the remains of the debris began
burning tiercely. The entire fire DEPART
ment was called out and prevented the
tlre reaching the new Courthouse.
Attorney Ballard and County Commits
sloner Metcalf lived in rooms above the
clothing store, and it is feared that they
perished. The loss to the building and
its contents will reach S4OO, 900. The
fronts OF all the business houses in the
neigborhood of the explosion were de-
moHshed. Paved streets were ripped
open and telephone cables were torn
down.
In addition to the demolition of the
Ierhune Block, the explosion did much
damage to the Courthouse and other
buildings struck by missiles. The fire
had little to work on save the wreckage.
The contents of the stores are scattered
every where, and not so much as a respect
able line OF samples could be secured
from, the ruins. The building and con-
tents were covered by more than $500, 900
insurance.

might be run south of Pacheco Pass, via

Other routes contemplated ferriage to
Oakland. One would run from that city
to Fruitvale, Fitehburg, Elmhurst, San
Leandro, by the Castro valley, near Hay
wards and Livermore Pass to Corral
where large deposits of coal have been
developed), to HilPs ferry on the San
Joaquin. Here branches could be run to
Merced, Fresno, Fisalia or Hanford, or
it might run by way Of Stockton. This
would be shorter than the Southern Pa
cific line via Port Costa, Tracey and La
throp.
Colonel Bridges also said that the road
could be run by Walnut Creek, if deemed
desirable; by San Pablo, back of Pinole,
to point near Martinez, ard then into
the San Joaquin valley. All of these
routes were feasible.
He explained them on the maps and
