SoTUH ACTON (Mass.), May 3.-Three
mills of the American Powder Company
here blew up this morning, one after
the other. Five persons are believed to
have been killed. The woods close by
the mills were set Oh fire and burned
fiercely, threatening the biggest store
house of the company, containing 20, GOO
pounds Of powder, and preventing the
saving OF property. Fifty men were en-
ployed in the mills.
After the first explosion the employees
in the corning-mill, about forty in num-
her. rushed from the building and
escaped before the flames spread
to the mill. There were ten mills sep
arated and inclosed by high board fences.
The explosion of the first mill set fire to
the surrounding fence and the flames
spread TO the second mill and the third
.a.ill. The list of the dead is as follows:
Charles ONeil, Jr.. Maynard. Mass,
unmarried; Nelson Morris, Acton. leaves
widow and several children; Freder-
lex X. Winslow, South Acton, married;
Charles Estes, South Acton, unmarried;
A. Estes, South Acton, leaves a widow

THE VALLEY ROAD.
Harbor Commissioners Meet to Co

Harbor Commissioners Meet to Con-
slider the China Basin Lease.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 3.-The Harbor
Commissioners, with Governor Budd and
Mayor Sutro, met with the representatives
of the Valley road this morning, to con.
slider the amendments to the lease of
China Basin to the Valley road.
Sutro attacked the terms of the lease,
and incidentally the sincerity of the op-
position road. saying that China Basin
could be transferred to the Southern Pa
citic by the Valley road in forty-eight
hours.
Attorney Preston of the Valley road
said that any person making such q
statement was fool.
The Mayor made no response to this,
but introduced number of ironclad
amendments, preventing the Valley road
from cooperating with any other rail-
road.
President Colnou expressed his disap-
proval OF an apparent attempt to obstruct
the new road. He said he was anxious
to see the work completed. No condi-
tions should be imposed upon its pro-
jectors which would hamper them in the
work of completing the Valley road.
All the members of the board were
against him, but the Mayor stood to his
guns, and finally asked that he be given
until Monday to make up his mind.

they drove to Rincon Hills, and there left
their team and hid in the mountains.
Barnes stated that he repeatedly de-
ected Hiatt In the act of raising rock to
beat out his brains, and only protected
himself by compelling Hiatt to 90 on be-
fore him at the point of revolver. The
next morning they divided their money
and took the train to Los Angeles, and
from that day to this no trace OF Hiatt
has been found.
The officer who took Barnes to San
Quentin detected him in conversation
with two toughs OIL the journey there.
Barnes movements were so suspicious
on several occasions on the way that the
officer took extra precautions TO prevent
his escape. He is not now the penitent
man he appeared to be when pleading
with the court for light sentence. His
story of Hiatt's movements is considered
fiimsy, and it is supposed the balance of
the banks money is somewhere in the
Chino hills. known only to Barnes. The
officers believe the body of Hiatt may
yet be found to tell the story of double
crime.

ANSEL WHITE.

Further Proof That He Died In Wash

SANTA CRUZ. May 3.-Chief Of Police
Rawle has received letter from s. G..
Morse, ex-Sheriff of CIellam County,
Washington, saying that the latter knew
Ansel White. the missing heir to ST.
0O0.0O0 estate in New York, for over
twenty years, residing within few miles
of him near Port Angeles. Wash. White
died in 1883, and it was four days before
his body was found. as he lived alone.
White sold his plows, etc.. year before
he died and the money he hid, but it was
never found. The theory is that it is
buried in the woods. Morse is positive
that White is the man for whom the de-
tectives are seeking. Pioneers who knew
White in this county say that when he
left here it was with the intention of To-
eating in Washington. but not hearing
from him, suspected he had met with
foul play.
