NOT IN SIGHT
IS YET HEARD OF FhoM
 THE KISSING STEAMER.

Many Theories Are Advanced as to the
 Cause of the Delay--The Belief is That
 Some Accident Has Happened to Her
 Machinery and Some Uneasiness is Felt
 Regarding Her.
 New York, May 22.--As the hours go by and no word comes from the over due La Gascogne many theories are advanced as to the cause of her delay and while the general opinion prevails that nothing more serious than some mishap to her machinery has occurred some uneasiness is felt. The fact that she was eight days overdue when last she was looked for so anxiously en- courages the belief that she will be again steered safely into this port.
 Up to 12:45 o'clock this morning noth- ing was seen of any approaching ves- seI at Fire Island or Sandy Hook. The weather at these points is reported hay.
 La Gascogne carries 503 passengers. Of these fifty occupy first cabins and forty-four second cabins, while 4O9 are steerage passengers.
 Vessels which has arrived during the last two days report good weather in the latitude travelled in by the French liners, and that is considered by some to dispose of the theory that La Gas cogne is delayed by fog. Agent Forget said this afternoon that he thought the steamship might be detained by a. hot bearing. He said:
 "La Gascogne was fitted with new boilers last year in order that her steam power might be increased. Originally her boilers stood a steam pressure of 150 pounds to the square inch.
 "They were supplanted by boilers of 225 pounds pressure. which increased the strain on the machinery, which had not been changed, and increased the revolutions of the piston from fifty three to sixty-two minute. This the piston could not stand, and on Jan uary 26, two days after she started on her first voyage with the increased power, her piston broke.
 'That piston was taken out and a heavier one substituted but the bear ings are the same, and think that, these becoming overloaded, they have swollen and the vessel has had to lay Ito ''

Nitro -GlycerIne is the Cause of the Death of
 Fourteen Men.


 Pineol, Cal, May 21.-The nitro-gly- cerine house of the California powder works at Pineol blew up this morning, killing five white men and nine China men, badly wounding two white men and three Chinamen, and less seriously injuring many others.
 Below where the powder house stood white men and Chinamen were hunting all day among the debris, which covers the ground, for the remains of the vic- tims. Bits of flesh were gathered into gunny sacks and taken to a boarding house to await the burial. Where the glycerine house stood Is now a heap of rubbish surrounding a great hole blown into the ground. All the buildings sur rounding the one where the explosion occurred, and distant from it from 100 to 200 yards, were more or less demol- ished. Every person about the mills was thrown down by the force of the explosion.
 How the explosion occurred is mys- tery. A. F. Pollock, superintendent, in- spected the glycerine works three times this morning before the explosion, the ldSJ IllIl9 dL lU O ClOChg WIlGh all WdS found in order. One hundred white men and seventy-five Chinamen were employed. The men who were uninjured are in a state of demoralization and no one will say anything about the cause of the disaster.
 It is believed, however, that China man dropped can of nitro-glycerine and that the concussion from the explo- sion of this caused the general blow-up. The force of the explosion was tremend- ous. Huge trees were thrown half mile into the bay. Nitro-glycerine tanks weighing a. ton piece are 800 yards distant from the scene. Toes, hands and other parts of bodies were picked up a mile away. The first explosion was followed by the general one, with scarcely a second interval. The nitro- glycerine house first went up, then the mixing house and then the storehouse and gun cotton departments. The nit ro-glvcerine house, of which not ves- tige remains was three-stoFy build | ing It contained 5000 pounds of nitro- 1 glvcerine and 1000 pounds of Hercules | powder. The loss is estimated at $250,- 1 )OO The coroner will hold an inquest 1 IS soon as possible.

BOARD OF sELEcTWEN.

New Haven Street Railways Extension to Lighthouse Point--A Public Hearing Fri
 day Night on the Subject Damages 1 Claimed From Town by MT. and Mrs. T
 D. Adams.
 The regular weekly meeting of the 1 board of selectmen was held last even- ing and for the first time for several consecutive meetings there was no fight ! ing.
 MT. and Mrs Theodore D. Adams of l Seymour, through their attorney, noti- fled the town that they received in 1 juries by the overturntng of the car-
 riage in which they were riding in New
 Haven, near the Woodbridge road.
 They declare that the road is in de- i fectfve condition and state that they l are to sue the town of New Haven 1 for damages. MT. Adams asserts that l both he and Mrs. Adams sustained severe injuries to their head and | shoulders and that his carriage was ruined The disposition of the claim
 was left to the road and bridge com
 mittee
 w. G. Riggs, manager of the South
 ern New England Telephone company, asked that the town consider a petition
 of the company to attach to the draw
 bridge over the Quinnipiac river a sub marine cable of the same description as that of the New Haven Street Rail- way company The telephone company also requested permission to erect terminal pole east of the bridge. The petition was given to the road and bridge committee.
 Attorney G. A. w. Dodge, represent ing the New Haven Street Railway company, appeared before the board and presented plans and details for the extension of the road to Lighthouse Point from the present terminus of the road at the Forbes house. He men, toned the fact that a former act of the legislature empowered the road to lay tracks, erect poles, suspend wires and operate cars. The plans of the pro- posed extension show that double tracks are to be laid, that the tracks shall be located at the present grade of the street, shall be subject to such grade as the engineer of the town of New Haven shall require; the kind and quality of the track shall be T rail, not less than fifty pounds per yard, and laid on ties.
 Mir. Dodge said that the company was ready to begin work upon the pro- posed extension at once. Much of the road is to be laid across land recently purchased by the Stiles sisters, It is the wish of the company to have the extension completed before summer is over.
 Selectman Cunningham asked if a public hearing had been granted the residents of that locality Mr. Dodge said that there had, when the matter came up several months ago.
 Town Counsel Goodhart suggested 1 that as new board of selectmen was now in power, the opinion of residents | should be again procured and a pub- lie hearing on the extension was set | for Friday night at o'clock.
 J. w. Madden, representing the | Quimby company, asked the board if | the town would be willing to work | Beacon street, running from Townsend | avenue to Fort Wooster, provided the company which has purchased most of | the land in that locality will furnish land for a street sixty feet. The board, on motion by Town Agent Bald win voted to put the road through, provided the company furnished the promised lands U
