Havoc Near lincoln, Pa.
LINCOLN. Pa, Aug. 23.-An explosion
of nitroglycerine occurred just out
side of the city limits at 11:43 yester-
day morning. A man named Hall. q
resident of Oil City, was driving
wagon loaded with nitroglycerine to
the top of Bully hill, and was within
$50 feet of the building, when for some
cause unknown the stuff exploded.
The wagon and horses were blown to
atoms. and not a vestige of Halls re-
mains are to be found. A hole five
feet deep was torn in the earth. The
shock was great in Franklin that win
dows were blown out and number of
chimneys were knocked down.

Ex-coNsUL wALLER's CASE.
The State Department Confident OF Secur-
Ing Ample Redress.

Ing Ample Redress.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-Enough is
known regarding the progress of nego-
tiations in the case of ex-Consul Wal
Ter to justify the statement that the
department is confident they will re-
suit in the release of Mr.. Waller. with
indemnity for his imprisonment and
the restoration of his property rights
There is also authority for the
statement that the department feels
assured that Walters bare release
could have been secured before
now, but it was felt that this would
be accomplished at the risk of losing
indemnity for Imprisonment and pro-
lection of Mr.. Waller in his property
rights in Madagascar. AS the money
interests involved are placed by no
one in the department at less than ST.
600, 900, the case has been handled on
the theory that it was better that Mr..
Waller should continue to endure his
incarceration for a few months rather
than risk losing his claim.

THE VINE LOUISE
Working the Ruin of the viticulturists OF
Italy.

Italy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-According to
a report to the department of state by
Minister Eugene German, at Zurich,
the damage to vineyards in Italy by
the insect commonly known as the vine
louise has been enormous. Since the
appearance of the insect in that coun-
try it has totally ruined 2s2, 500 acres
of vineyards and 1856, 160 acres part
ly SO.
Sicily has been and is still the great
est sufferer from the pest The vine
yards ruined on that island cover an
area of 239, sol acres, and 156, 326 acres
are partly destroyed. An investiga-
tion made by the Italian depart
ment of agriculture shows that
in consequence of a change anade
in the culture of agricultural
products grain for wines
the wages paid to farm hands has
decreased by 1885, 400. and the re-
ceipts from products SIS, 1913, 600 The
effects of the vine louise can be seen
over the whole island, with the ex-
ception of the southern part. The
province of Sarassi, in the island
of Sardinia, is overrun by the
insect to such an extent that no meas
ures are taken to fight it. In Calabria
the same condition prevails. The gov
eminent has restricted its measures to
endeavoring to protect the province of
Caglieri, which SO far has been spared.

Times from Hong-Kong confirms the
report of the attack upon the American

dispatch also says that thousands OF
additional anti-foreign pamphlets and
placards have been distributed through
out Canton.

which place natives attacked the
American mission building, is the we'll
known capital of the province of

IN BLACK AND WHITE
Many very fashionable people cling to
the wearing Of black and white They
do not do so under mourning pretense,
but because they find It so very becOm-
ing to them. This IS particularly the
case with women little inclined to
embonpoint without being at all fat.
MANY have the large frame that sug-
gests plumpuess without being at all
successive of too much adipOse. These,
once having taken on the black, and
white fever. as one woman calls 1t, find
It hard to drop It.
This style is particularly worn at hol-
iday times in the American colonies
abroad. fully half the gowns being Of
Il. though no one has ever been able TO
exulafn why it should be so popular.
A lovely gown Of this black and white
combination was sent home last night
for wearing presumably Thanksgiving
Day. as the order that accompanied it
was for q gown for street and house.
1t was patterned after one worn by
Mrs. Frank Leslie recently and which
was considered q beauty.
The material IS yelveteen Of short
nap and. silk texture. Ii is a light vel
vet possibly. but IS sold as silk velve-
teen. The waist is drawn with lit
tie fitness to q low, round belt OF vel

The rest of the gown is q cream white

oning in front over 1t. The cloak coat
tails are fastened to the waist, which is
all removable. It fastens at the side
and is secured neatly by hooks and
little straps. until one can have no idea
how the wearer gets into it.
