An Apartment House Manager Gets IN
TrnmhIp.

An Apartment House Manager Gets In
Trouble.
A respectable-looking middle-aged white
man by the name of Oliver Ellsworth, or
Jennings. was put under arrest by Detec-
tive Proctor on the charge Of embezzlement
and was held for his appearance in the Po-
lice Court tomorrow.
Some time ago DIR. ]. n. Gregory of the
Concord apartment house inserted an ad-
vertisement in New York paper calling
for competent hotel man to take charge
Of the management Of the house. Among
those who responded was a man who gave
the name of Ellsworth Jennings, who was
living at the time at the MtVernon House.
in this city. Jennings made a favorable
impression and claimed to have had con-
siderable experience in the hotel business
The end Of it all was that he was engaged
as manager for the Concord. but his tenure
of Office was very short. He entered upon
his duties last Saturday morning.
On the representation that he needed
money to purchase supplies for the table,
Jennings got check for $50 from DR..
and Trust Company. That was the last
seen Of the man until he was put under
arrest today. He cashed the check and
did actually buy some supplies, which were
sent to the Concord, but not enough to
have cost anything like $50. Then he pro-
ceeded to get under the influence of liquor,
and when he was arrested this morning he
had not cent left. The man claims the
right to use both names, as his mother was
named Ellsworth and his father Jennings.
He was confronted by his accusers in
Inspector Hollinberger's office this after
noon, and was in very penitent frame of
mind. He was unable to account for all
the money, but promised to make complete
restitution, If he was given the chance.
The charge was not withdrawn, however,
and Jennings was held for trial

CLEMENCY
Applications for Pardon Granted and De
MED by the President
How District Criminals Fared in
Their Efforts to Secure Release
other Cases Acted On.

The President has denied the application
for pardon in the case of George G..
Schroeder, convicted in the District Of Co.
lumbia of false pretenses, and sentenced
February 2, 1898. to three years imprison-
ment at Albany. 1.-THE clemency already
granted this prisoner" says the President,
will, as I understand the case, effect his
release early in June next. 1 am glad of
this, on account Of his poor wife and chill
dren. and because. if he is thus early to be
released, cannot grant further clemency."
A Conditional Pardon.
The application for pardon in the case
Of Charles H. Blandford, sentenced No.
vember %, 1892 to six months imprison-
ment IN the District work house in each of
ten informations of indecent exposure, was
indorsed by the President as follows:
"Granted conditionally. This convict has
now been imprisoned more than two years
and four months, and there seems to be
some doubt as to his entire mental re-
sponsibility for the vile and dirty ofrenses
Of which he was convicted.
His punishment has already been severe
and his place of confinement is not the best
for his mental. moral and physical health.
I am willing to give him chance for i'm
provement and reform if the community
can be protected against him in the future.
His pardon is granted on the express con-
dition that the father of the prisoner shall
him such medical services as may tend to
cure him of the propensity or inclination
to commit indecent crimes, and do all in
his power to restrain and prevent him from
the commission of such crimes or any other
offenses.
"And upon the further condition that II
the convict Is again discovered in the COM
mission of the offense of indecent exposure,
this pardon shall he absolutely void, and he
shall be again arrested and committed to
his present place of Imprisonment, upon the
conviction and sentence upon which he is
now held, and shall thereupon serve the re-
mainder Of his Imprisonment under said
sentence"
Other Cases.
The President has granted a pardon to
Monchee Cohee. an Indian, imprisoned for
horse stealing in Texas. The convict is
very Ill and probably has but a short time
to live.
In the case of Chas. II. Ritter, convicted
in Indiana of embezzling bank funds and
sentenced October, 1891, to six years impris-
onmept, the sentence has been commuted
to four years actual Imprisonment.
The President has denied the applications
for pardon in the case of Curt w. Black
burn, confined in Oklahoma for perjury.
and in the case of James B. Fink. convicted
of illegal cutting of timber on Indian reser
vation

The Presidential Family Did Not
Move to Woodley.
GOV. H'KNLEY MEETS Mr.. CLEVELAND
A Delegation Invite the President
to Chicago.
AN EXTRA SESSION HINT

Owing to the unfavorable state of the
weather the presidential household did not
move out to Woodley today. as was ex-
pected. The transfer will be made at the
first opportunity this week, probably after
the cabinet meeting tomorrow afternoon, il
the conditions are entirely favorable.
Mai. Mckinley Received.
The President usually denies himself to
visitors on Monday, in order to devote his
entire time to business that may have ac-
cumulated on his desk. He broke the rule
in two notable instances today; first, in
receiving a committee of business men
from Chicago, and next in receiving Gov.
Mckinley, the distinguished republican gov
ernor of Ohio. The latter called while the
President was engaged with the committee
and he spent about half an hour in Private
Secretary Thurbers office, conversing with
several congressional friends, who were
also awaiting an audience with Mr.. Cleve-
land. He was in very good spirits, ana
said he had no special business with the
President, having called merely to pay his
respects, and to renew an acquaintance be-
gun during the Presidents first term.
The President received him at his first
leisure moment and the two mad quite an
interesting chat together. in the course of
which, 1t Is said, the President twitted the
Ohio governor as to the possibilities Of his
being the next republican occupant Of the
White House.
The Chicago Delegation.
The Chicago delegation included half a
dozen representative citizens of the west
ern metropolis. 1t was headed by William
T. Baker. ex-presdent of the board of
trade and president of the Commercial
Club which is composed of all the prom
inent bankers ard men of the business
world of Chicago. His companions were
Gen. George w. Smith, ex-Mayor John A.
Roche, Thomas w. Harvey, David Kelley
and Henry S. Robbins. They came to
Washington for the express purpose of in
viting the President to visit Chicago at
an early date and make speech on the
financial situation. 1t was explained that
the invitation was intended as a special
compliment to the President on account of
his firm attitude on the monetary question
in favor Of a sound currency. 1t was in
tended to make his visit to Chicago the oc-
casion Of a hard-money demonstration.
Hint Mt an Extra Session.
The President received them cordially
and expressed his great appreciation of the
compliment implied by their invitation. He
said he could not make them definite
promise to go to Chicago, but that he
would make the visit If the state Of public
business justified his leaving the city. AL
though he did not say so in so many words,
he intimated that 1t was possible that he
might not be able to leave the city this
summer. Some Of the visitors thought his
remarks indicated a possible necessity for
an extra session of Congress in the event

Fatal Explosion Of a Boiler at Wo-
burn, Mass.
SIX KILLED AND FIVE INJURED
Inspection Was Passed Only Yes

TAKING OUT THE BODIES

WOBURN, Mass. April 1.-Just before
O'Clock this morning one of the boilers in
the old Conn tannery in this place exploded
with terrific force, killing five men and in
juring five Others
The dead are Austin Clements, foreman:
Patrick Lally, fireman; Thomas Patterson,
night foreman; Patrick McGonagle, oiler,
and Sam Tracy.
The injured are Michael Mcclure. internal
injuries; Patrick Riley, both legs broken;
Patrick Keefe, bad scalp wound; John
Tracy, scalp torn off, and Herbert Sanders,
colored, badly burned about the head and
several ribs broken.
There has been trouble with the boiler
for some time. and early this morning John
Parker, foreman of the plant, was called to
the boiler room to see if 1t could not be
fixed. 1t was found that the water supply
could not be satisfactorily adjusted. but
this was remedied. By the time the tam
merry opened for the day it was thought
that the boiler was all right.
Five minutes before o'clock Mr.. Parker
entered The boiler room, and ordered that
the whistle be blown. to start the works.
The rope attached to the whistle was
pulled, and instantly there was a fearful
explosion. The big iron smokestack on
the boiler house was blown high in the air,
and fell across the roof of the SHOP and
the tall brick chimney fell in a thousand
pieces. crushing the engine room beneath
It, When the smoke and dust cleared
away scene of wreck and ruin was re-
vealed. Men hurried from all parts of the
town, and the work of removing those
buried under the ruins was commenced i'm
mediately.
The piteous cries of the injured pinned
under the debris urged the rescuers on to
rapid work, and in short time the bodies
of five men had been removed, and five of
the injured had been taken out.
tt was then found that one of the two
boilers had been blown to pieces, COM
pletely wrecking the boiler house and de-
molishing several sheds near by. The head
Of the boiler fell 800 yards from the tan
merry and the boiler tubes We're scattered
in every direction.
The falling chimney and smokestack
practically wrecked the tannery building
itself. and the structure will have to be
rebuilt. 1t is not known how many men
were in the tannery when the explosion oc-
CURED. but when the roll of employees was
called shortly before IL o'clock seven men
were missing. 1t is not known whether or
not they M6d begun work when the acci-
dent happened.
The fire department was called out
promptly and the work of removing the
wreckage and taking out the dead and in
jured was carried on under the direction of
the fire chief. The tannery is three-story
brick building, and is fully insured The

Ii HUNG CHANGES ASSASSIN.

He VIII Probably BE Sent to the Mines
of North Japan.
1t is said at the Japanese legation that
the young Jap who shot Ii Hung Chang
will probably be sent to the mines of North
Japan to serve his life sentence. The To-
cality Is like that of Siberia, and sentence
there Is dreaded by the japanese as little
short of death. The unofficial reports Of
the sentence make no reference to the trial
or conviction. 1t is understood to have
been a civil trial, as a military trial would
have resulted in death. When the Japanese
summarily punished those who attempted
the life Of the Russian crown prince it
raised an agitation in the Japanese parlia-
ment, as the government was accused of
crowding the trial and not according the
usual rights Of defense in the desire to
make amends to Russia. In the present
case the speed Of the trial is accounted for
by the fact that the offense Is regarded as
one against the government Of Japan, and,
therefore, reasonable.
DIR. Scriba's report Of his wound is re-
garded by the Japanese legation as assur-
ing his recovery. Serbia is one Of four of
Germany's most distinguished surgeons
who have entered into the service Of Japan.

and men of his fleet may be sent to them
by the steamer leaving New York for Colon

says, all mail should be sent to Key West.
This communication is somewhat signif-
