In reversing the Judgment of the court
below and remanding the case for new
trial. the Court of Appeals yesterday in
the case of Chas. Walter against the Bal
timore ard Ohio Railroad Company held
that the court below in taking the case
from the jury erred. Mr.. Walter was seri-
ously injured November o. 1892, by being
struck by an engine of the company, while
driving across the track at the crossing
between North Capitol and F streets. The
appellate court holds that the fact that
the gates were up and the Waterman was
In his box, the plaintiff claiming that he
was given no warning, warranted the jury
In passing epon the question of who was
to blame.
The Court of Appeals yesterday afternoon
In the case of Thos. W. Steward, admins
traitor of the late John Andrew Casey, a
postal clerk, who was killed October 9,
1855, against the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company, affirmed the judgment of
the court below. The deceased left widow,
but no children, ard the court holds that
the action could not be brought under the
general laws of the District because the
damage was done in Maryland. The court
holds that the Maryland law would give the
damages, if any were recovered, to the
widow. while the law of the District would
give them to the widow and the collateral
next of kin. Therefore the plaintiff seeks
enormously TO recover damages under the
law of Mary lar d, for injuries received in
that state, by remedy provided in the
laws CT the District.

HIS FACE MANGLED.
l Dynamite Explosion Results I'm
Probably Fatal Injuries.

Personal injuries of a terribly disflguring
| nature were received yesterday through
the explosion Of dynamite. Mr.. Edward c.
Broughton, the superintendent of the Po-
tomac Stone Company's quarrfes, was the
victim. The facial mutilation was hor-
| ribly severe. The jaw was dislocated, the
teeth knocked out, the tongue torn, and
the flesh dragged from the cheeks. The
explosion was in all probability the result
of the carelessness that long and safe con-
| tact with the explosive produced. All that
| is definitely known of the details of the
accident is to the effect that Mr.. Brough-
ton was warming piece of dynamite,
| which, through a moisture that had gath
| cred, had rendered it somewhat unfit for
| immediate use. Other explosives were
about him at the time-giant powder and
cartridges. Probably the victim turned his
| back moment to watch some of his men
at work, or. unconsciously, while he
warmed the explosive in his hands, moved
| rearer the fire. What is known of the sit
| pation is that there was an explosion, a
| cloud of smoke, and Broughton was seen
reeling and tottering about with his hands
| to his face. All thought that death would
but he permitted attendance with an ex-
! hibition of strength, fortitude and calm
ness that was truly remarkable.
He was taken to the Emergency Hos
| pital There physicians and surgeons gave
him the tenderest attention and the benefit
of their finest skill. An operation was per-
| formed.
| This morning reporter was informed at
| the victims home that his death was
| hourly expected. Should he survive the
| direct injuries for any length of time, there
| is a great probability that misunderstanding
| will set it, as it is believed by some OF the
workmen that Mr.. Broughton held between
| his teeth fuse cap while he warmed the
| dynamite. That. exploding, too, did the
| II ner laceration. The powder with which
these caps are filled is said to be poisoning
| when forced into the flesh. 1t is a COM
| position, containing mercury usually MIR.
| Broughton has been married but little over
a year.
| He is a Virginian by birth. but is well
known in Little Falls, New York, Wash
| irgton and Philadelphia. The Potomac
stone quarries are owned by Chas. G..
Smith & Son. Mr.. Broughton is over fifty
| years of age and has had much experience
| in the stone business.

The Episcopal Endowment Fund.

1t was stated in yesterdays Star that the
members of the committee on the endow-
ment of the proposed Protestant Episcopal
diocese had made themselves responsible
for the amount yet needed to complete the
fund. A mistake was made, owing to the
transpostion by the typewriter of a para
graph in the notice sent out by the COM
mittee to be read in the churches last Sum-
day. The real state of the case is this:
The subscriptions by individuals and par
ishes have now reached the sum of about
SIS.OUO and it is expected will soon cover
$4,000 There will remain therefore the
sum of $4,000 yet to be provided in order
to complete TIE 100000 endowment. To
raise this the committee are endeavoring
to obtain subscriptions of 500 each pay
able in one or two years if necessary from
nifty persons. They hope that twenty-five
gentlemen and twenty five ladies may be
found who will be willing to be enrolled on
this 500 list. At present there are five
persons who have put their names down
upon 1t. The treasurer of the fund, Mr..
Henry E. Pellew, No. 1881 Massachusetts,
avenue, receives contributions subscrip-
tons. Subscriptions of smaller amounts to
make up this $4,000 will be received.

MOVING DAY.
1t Is Rapidly Approaching for District
officials.

District officials are preparing to move
their offices into the Walker building. on
Louisiana avenue, which will soon come to
be known as the District building, in place
of the present structure on 1st street. The
Commissioners said today that they would
probably move to their new quarters about
the first part of next week and by the last
completed. The Commissioners themselves
will not be the first to get out, as some of
the minor branches of the local govern
ment will precede them. At the meeting of
the board yesterday afternoon the matter
of the apportonment Of quarters in the
new building was taken up. The health
Office, which now occupies the first floor
of TIE building, will move into the base
ment of which it will occupy a hundred
square feet, while the fire department Is
to take the remainder. The assessor and
the collector of taxes have been assigned
to the first floor, with the water depart
ment in the rear. The office of the Com
missioners will be in the upper part of the
building, and one floor will probably be
reserved for the filing and preservation
of the District records. The work of trans
ferring the health office was begun today
to make room for the collector Of taxes
so that he may be ready for the tax sales,
which begin on the 9th Of this month. A
number Of expenses will be incurred
through the removal of the offices and the
purchase of new office fittings which will
be required, such as long counter for the
assessor, and things of that sort, and this
matter Is receiving the careful attention
of the Commissioners. 1t Is probable that
the necessary expenses Will be betrayed
from the contingency fund.

More Howgntc Indictments.

The grand jury late yesterday afternoon
returned among other indictments three

charges him with the embezzlement of
10000. one alleges that he forged an ac-
count for $4,000. in connection with the
American Urion Telegraph Company, Oc-
tober u, 1870, ard the third charges him
with classifying his accounts as disbursina,
officer of the signal corps. The indictments
returned yesterday cover matters mention
ed in former ir dctments and it is the in
tention of District Attorney BrEey to again
try Capt Howgate the latter part of this
month, if possible. The indictments re-
turned yesterday are those which The Star
announced several weeks ago would be re-
turned.

UNDER TONS OF ROCK.

Six Lives Crushed Out in a Rock Quarry
 and Four Men Seriously Injured-The Accident Caused by ths PrematuIe Ex-
 piosion of six Large Blasts of Giant
 Powder as the Result of Mistaken
 Signal.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. 30.-By an explosion in quarry on the Lexing- ton road, seven miles east of Inde- pendence, at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. five men and boy were killed and four men injured. The ac- cident occurred on Croisdale road, an extension of the Lexington road. which leads from the old Salem Church road to Buckner, Mo.
 Six large blasts of giant powder were placed. as it was decided to move many tons of rock at once The other end of the ledge was soft and scaly, and three small puff blasts were placed In 1t. The small blasts were to be ex. ploded by fuses It was decided to ex- plode the large blasts by means of a battery. and wires were attached to the six charges and stretched over the hill for distance of about 100 yards, where the battery was placed.
 At 5:3O o'clock everything was in readiness and the fuses to the small blasts were lighted. Mir. McTiernan and ten of his men. together with a team of horses and a dog, walked un- der the overhanging ledge to escape the rain of small stones which it was expected would follow the explosion of the minor blast. It seemed a safe retreat, and so it would have been, had not the massive rocks which jutted over their heads held many kegs of of giant powder.
 The last ascending stone had hardly returned to the earth before one ot the watchers up the road cried out All right" He meant simply to an. nounce that the first explosion had been successful and that all three charges had gone off. The words reached Abe Williams, sitting be- hind the hill with the battery before him. 'lt is the signal" he thought, and he pressed the button with his finger. The circuit was completed, and quicker than thought spark of fire leaped through the wires to the six big charges of giant powder. So quickly did the second explosion fol- low the first that none of the men had left the retreat under the overhanging ledge. The massive ledge was torn asunder, and two immense pieces of rock, each weighing twenty tons, fell upon the men and crushed them to the earth. Those who were killed were under the cen ter of the ledge, and those who were only injured stood at one side and were not caught beneath the heavy rocks. Two horses and dog also met death in the explosion.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. L-Nelson Ap- pleton Miles, who is to succeed Lieut. Gen. Schofield as maj r-ge neral com manding the army, was born at Vest minister. Mass, in 1889, and, with the exception of Gen. Sheridan, is the youngest officer that ever held that position. His appointment possesses more than ordinary interest from the fact that he is the first occupant of the high office who has not been gradu- ated from the West Point military academy.

Spaniards Said to Have Invaded United
 States Territory Searching for Filibus-
 ters.
 KEY WEST, Fla, Oct 1.-Great excitement and indignation has been occasioned here by report that ma rines from the Spanish cruiser Condo de Venadito have been landed on the Florida keys, north of here, to search for filibusters. The Condo de Venadito has been cruising these wa ters for some time, looking for filibusters. It is the gener- al opinion that flibusters have arms and supplies secreted on the keys north of this city and the Span ish cruiser has evidently been trying to find them. Fishermen who came in from the keys report that Spanish marines have been making diligent search.
 The fishermen say the Condo de Venadito had landed searching parties on almost every key where it would be possible for flibusters to rem dezvous This is considered an out rage here and gross insult to Flori- da and the United States.
 The keys belong to Florida, and if Spain has right to land searching parties on the keys it also has a right to land marines on the mainland The insult is considered to be as outrageous as if the Condo de Venadito had landed party to search the homes of citizens of Key West. The state department at Washington will be asked to inves- tigate and demand an apology from Spain for this act. So much indigna- tion has been aroused here by the re- port that it is feared the Spanish con- sul will be openly insulted.

And Work in the Indiana Mines Will be

BRAZIL, Ind, Oct. 1.-The block coal operators and miners of the district met here yesterday to arrange a new schedule of mining rates. The opera tors granted the miners demand of seventy cents per ton and work in the mines will be resumed at once. A prominent operator said that the ad. vance was granted the miners in the face of rumor that Ohio and Illinois operators would not grant an increase to the miners, and that a strike would be called in those states and probably several others very soon.
