Victim Of Gas Explosion Sue
cumbed This Morning.
Theories as 10 The Cause OF the
Accident.
The Man Who Built the Conduit
Thinks IL was Sewer Gas Exploded.

Thomas #. Nelson, who was so severely
injured by the gas explosion on College
Hill yesterday afternoon, died at the
Rhode Island Hospital at 800 clock this
morning. Besides a wife and three small
children, a brother -in-law, Daniel Flynn,
and hosts OF friends, mourn the sad result
OF the catastrophe.
The real cause OF the explosion yet re-
mains mystery which the railroad and
gas companies are trying hard TO solve.
The most recent theory, and one which js
considered as reasonable as any, is that
sewer gas did the mischief. gentle
man who knows all about the
counterweight, Mr.. Kuhlman, who
superintended It's construction, said:
why should IL not have been sewer gas
We have connection with the sewer TO let
the water out of the conduit, and IL could
Ms well have come from that. j cannot
see how illuminating gas could have been
the cause, but / can see how the ex-
plosion might have isjointed some section
of the gas main, which accounts for the
leakage observed after the accident. We
have found nobody who smelled the gas
before the explosion, so am further con-
vinced il was gas from the sewer, which,
OH account of the recent heavy rains,
might have been forced up into the bal
aDce weight tunnel"
IL is not unusual for explosions TO occur
In mines, caused by exceeding moisture,
huhlman's theory. He is also of the
opinion that a sufficient quantity OF illu-
minating gas could not have gathered in
the conduit from leak above the
spot where the explosion occurred,
to cause 1t, because Of the gas which
rushes through the conduit from the bot
tom OF the hill to the top and the excel
lent ventilation IL has. But sewer gas
could easily have entered from the open
ing at North Main Street aDd would roll
up the hill in the tunnel in a sufficient
volume TO do the damage.
What caused the gas to explode, even
then, Is question. 1t is denied that fric-
tion from the cable could have done it, as
the cars do not travel fast enough on the
hill to create the necessary friction.
The most plausible theory Is that Nell
SOB, who is said to have purchased two
cigars after dinper, and just previous to
the explosion, lighted one just after talk
ing to Mr.. Sheldon, and dropped the
match too dangerously near the crevice
between the tracks, by the head OF the
counterweight tunnel.

FIremen Killed and Engineer Severely
Injured Near Harrisburg.

HARRIsBUo, Pa, Mar. e.-The engine OF
the Pacific express, which left Union Sta
tion on the Pennsylvania Railroad at
3:0i this morning, was blown up
at Cove Station, IL miles west OF
Harrisburg. Fireman John II. Plessley,
OF Marysyille, Pa, was killed, and en-
gineer John B. Funk OF Harrisburg was
probably fatally injured. The eAplo-
sion turned the engine completely
around and derailed the mail and
baggage cars. Engineer Funk says the
boiler was more than half full OF water,
and he cannot account for the accident
unless some cold water got into the
boiler. There were l6o pounds OF steam
on when the explosion occurred.

If You Must Buy Sugar Take
the Preferred.
Chicago Gas Dividend-The London
Market-General Notes.
Special to the News.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The old argu-
ment IS being used 10 show why the In
dustrial shares should be bought in
preference to railroad stocks. The divi-
dends that are being paid on Sugar are
sufficiently large 10 tempt people
into the speculative swim. There
has been good deal said and
written for and against the
Sugar company, but after all facts must
have an important bearing. In four
years, from 1891 10 date, the stockholders
including the 10 per cent. extra dividend
they were paid year ago, have received,
exclusive of the per cent. they will get
few days hence, 81 per cent. There is
every reason 10 believe that the
company still has in in its treasury some
thing like S12,000,00o, which have been
saved out OF past earnings, and which be-
long TO the common shareholders.
The present earning capacity of Sugar
may be all that the Havemeyers and
Others interested in the trade desire, but
there is no reason 10 believe that with
ordinary times, such as are now
being looked forward to, the Sugar cor
poration will fare less badly than other
institutions. Experience shows that
while many of the railroad companies
have either been reducing or passing their
dividends, the Sugar company has been
persistently paying at the rate of IL per
cent. per annum on common and z per
cent. on preferred. Reason would suggest
the purchase of Sugar preferred, particu-
larly by those who care less for specu-
lative interests than they do for reason
ably sure investments. 1t would require
very little effort on the part of some of the
old-time bulls to take sugar preferred in
hand and advance IL TO the neighborhood
OF par.
The directors of the Chicago Gas Com
pany will not hold their meeting TO act
on the dividend question until April s,
just three months from the previous
meeting. Those who are following the
STANDARD Oil crowd believe that the regu-
lar lh per cent, will be formally
declared and checks, as usual, VII
be sent out by the Central Trust Com
pany. Chicago Gas, considering its
money earning capacity and the fact that
it is a monopoly that will not be inter-
fered with by the Ogden or other blnck-
mailing ordinances, should improve ma
terially.
The arm ngs OF st. Paul will come out
out after the close today. The indica-
rIons are that they will show moderate
improvement, or at least fully hold their
own. There has been renewed selling of

dividends will be passed and that earn
ings will show loss for he first week of
March.
