Client. A concussion took place and an
explosion followed and carried death
and devastation before 1t and wrecked
not only the Butte Hardware COM
pany's building but the warehouse of

Mr. Forbis said II had been shown as
clearly as testimony could show II that
the iron pipes and the coils of wire
came from the Butte Hardware ware
house and that they We're found on the
| ground after the first explosion. 1t ID
an admitted fact that the second ex-
plosion came out of the Kenyon-Con-
nell Commercial company's building
| That was shown not only by the wit
nesses OF the defense but also by the
| witnesses for the plaintiff. The testi-
mony of the PLAINTIFFS witness, Mr.. RI
ley, shows that his leg was cut OF by
a heavy bar of iron thrown by the Sec
ond explosion, and other undisputec
evidence proved that the Kenyon Con

/ that the witnesses who testified thai

that they were mistaken on account oi
the confusion resulting from the two

SPOKANE'S ARMY POST SITE
ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND
TO BE GIVEN TO THE Gov
ERNMENT.
CITIZENS GRATIFIED AT THE Sue
CESS ATTENDING THEIR
EFFORTS.

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 23.-The commit
tee having in charge the work of raising
cash and lands with which to secure site
of 1000 acres in the outskirts of Spokane
for an army post announce to-day that the
post is now practically assured. They
have enough cash and land to buy and
trade for all the land required. When this
is done the deed will be made out to the
Government. 1t is believed the War De-
partment will Immediately begin work
upon the new post.
The site is a beautiful tract of land along
the Spokane River, southwest of the city.
1t is historic ground, for it was here that
Colonel Wright, with an army of more
than 1000 regulars, struck the hostile con-
federated Indian bands of the upper
country the final blow in his decisive
campaign of 1858. That campaign brought
peace to this section.
Tne citizens are much gratifed at the
successful termination of their efforts. In
spite OF hard times, they have raised nearly
$4,000 in cash and as much more in real
estate at its present assessed valuation. 1t
is said that $500,000 viii be expended in the
construction of the post and that garri-
son of not less than 1000 troops will be sta
toned there.

some distance, tearing up the rails.
A large number of passengers were on
board, many of them en- route to the Mardi
Gras at Mobile and New Orleans. The
physicians in the city were summoned in
haste and soon reached tbs wreck, when
everything possible was done to relieve the
sufferings of the victims.
When the extent of the damage was
ascertained it seemed little less than q
miracle that only one life was lost-that ot

A VENDETTA In VIRGINIA.
FOUR DESPERATE MEN FIGHT WITH
PISTOLS ON A COUNTRY
ROAD.
FOURTH DYING OF HIS
WOUNDS.

SARGENT, KY, Feb. 23.-Three men were
shot to death and a fourth mortally
wounded in fight between the Smith Cox
factions near. Osborne, Dickinson County,
Va, Wednesday.
The men involved in the difficulty had
long been regarded as terrors in the neigh
borhood, and for years the families have
been deadly enemies. According to the
best information obtainable, Rob and Sam
Smith had been at The Gap and were on
their way home when they met Ben and
Lemuel Cox on the road about two miles
from town. All four were under the inhu-
ence of liquor.
The Smiths drew revolvers and com
manded their enemies to surrender, in
stead of which the Cox boys jerked out
their weapons. Then a general fight was
begun and lasted for nearly half an hour.
When the smoke cleared away Rob and
Sam Smith and Ben Cox were found living
dead on the road while Lem Cox is SO
badly wounded that his death is expected
hourly. The killing of these men puts an
end to the feud that has long been prom
inent in criminal circles in this section of
the country

SAN FRANCISCO POLICE ARE NOTI-
FLED TO INTERCEPT THE
FUGITIVE.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. pa telegram
has been sent to San Francisco by the
United States Marshal here to intercept
Alexander Wilkinson of Ogden, who with
two other citizens of that place, has been
indicted for conspiracy in altering ballots
in the last election.
The trio are accused of having doctored
the vote in the Weber County ballot-boxes
after they were deposited with the Utah
commission in this city. Wilkinson left
Ogden last Monday for San Francisco
with the intention, it is said, of taking a
steamer for Alaska or Australia.
Gilbert the Democratic candidate, in
whose interest the fraud is alleged to have
been committed, is said to have gone to
South America, presumably via San Fran
cisco.
The Territorial Supreme Court to-day
handed down the decision in the San Pete
County election case of J. D. Page against
the Utah Commissioners. The conclusion
was that the court below properly found
that there were no Irregularities affecting
the plaintiff s election appearing on the
face of the returns, and that the lower
court properly awarded the peremptory
writ against the defendants, commanding
them to certify to the plaintiff IS election.
The Utah Commission held meeting
this evening, and, in compliance with the
decision of the Supreme Court handed
down to-day, certified as elected as dele
gates to the constitutional convention
fourteen more Republicans and eight more
Democrats, making total of Republicans
certified 81 and Democrats 45, with five
delegates uncertiied. OF these the Repub-
licans claim two and the Democrats three.

SCENES OF ENTHUSIASM.
DoLPH's SUPPORTERS GAVE UP THE
FIGHT AT THE LAST
HOUR.

SALEM, Or, Feb. 23.-George W. Nc
Bride, ex-Secretary of State, was elected to-
night, on the thirtieth ballot, United
States Senator to succeed ]. n. DoIph.
The fight has been long one 1t was
the opposition to Dolph that resulted in
the protracted contest, and to the last the
anti-Dolph men successfully prevented any
action that would lead to a stampede for
him.
Last midnight the Dolph men called
caucus. 1t did not adjourn till late this
morning. Thirty five members of the Leg
islature were present. Senator Dolph
addressed them, saying that since he had
received caucus nomination the matter
of his withdrawal from the contest was not
subject to his personal control. He left
the matter with them. Twenty three de-
clared they would remain firm, and the
caucus adjourned without reaching any
definite conclusion.
This forenoon another caucus was held
by the Dolph men, and it was decided to
stand by Dolph.
The balloting continued all day without
a change in the votes cast and it seemed
as if the deadlock would remain unbroken.
But there had been a feeling that as last
resort some dark horse would be named
upon whom the factions could unite.
At 8 o'clock tonight the ninth ballot
was taken and the voting continued until
the twenty-second ballot was completed
AT the beginning of the twenty third
ballot, ClestOn of Columbia County as a
Dolph man arose and presented the name
of Mr.. Mcbride. The immense throng in
attendance Immediately broke loose, and
cheer after cheer was given for Mcbride.
AS the rollcau progressed it became evil
! dent that Mcbride would be elected.
| When he received the forty fifth vote,
which was necessary to an election, bedlam
broke loose. All the Republicans then
began to change their votes and when the
call was completed at IL P. NJ. Mcbride had

WA sHINGToN, Feb. 23.-The experts ap-
pointed by the Bureau of the Navy De
partment to examine the plans submitted
for the construction of three new torpedo
boats, are busily engaged in that work.
Three of the bidders, Herreshoff. the
Union Iron Works and Ramsay, submitted
original designs for the boats. The others
bid exclusively by plans prepared by the
Navy Department.
So far the examination of the innividual
plan fail to show feature of novelty and
design, and the changes in design are
generally in the direction of cheapening
the construction, save in the case of Her
reshoff's proposition to use bronze and
aluminium for hull construction.

The Commander Vas Negligent.

NASSAU, N. P, Feb. 23.-The opinion OF
the court of inquiry, convened to deter
mine the responsibility for the loss of the
steamer Cienfuegos, was rendered to the
Governor last night. The court holds that
the vessel was lost through the negligence
of her commanding officer, Captain Hoyt.
His navigation of the ship was faulty in
every particular. 1t appeared in the evi-
dence that no precaution was taken in ap-
preaching the dangerous island on which
the steamer was wrecked. The ordinary
use of the deviation charts was ignored,
and the course steered was determined by
guess work.
Chief Engineer Mclaughlin was COM
mended for the GOODNESS and promptitude
he displayed under the circumstances.
