CARGO OF DYNAMITE
Was Being slowed Away When Hum
dreds OF Tons Exploded.

COLOGNE, March 81. - terrible ex-
plosion of dynamite took place at Raj
north, in the district of Dusseldorf. The
ship Elizabeth was taking on board 10000
kilos of dynamite when the explosion oo-
Cured, killing number OF people and
doing terrible amount of damage. The
exact number OF persons killed Is yet un-
known. Another vessel which was along
side the Elizabeth caught IRE and was
burned.
The force of the explosion was felt for
miles. and was at first believed TO have
been the result of an earthquake. Several
houses collapsed at Keeken and other vii
lagos, and windows were shattered within
wide area. AT Sleaves, five miles from
the scene Of the explosion, doors were torn
of and window frames were smashed.
The bodies OF five victims of the explo-
sion have already been recovered, and six
persons, believed to have been killed, are
still missing
The force of the explosion was so great
that three vessels at Lobith, the last Dutch
village on the Rhine, were sunk.
Two hundred and twenty tons OF the ex-
plosiye was taken in six boats from Lo'
bith TO Salmorth last January EN- route to
Antwerp, whence it was TO have been
shipped to Australia. Owing to the Ice
blockade in the river, the dynamite was
landed at Salmorth, whore 1t was stored
awaiting the reopening of navigation.
In the meantime the Elizabeth had been
chartered TO take the dynamite forward,
and the cargo was being stored when part
of 1t exploded The cause of the explosion
Is unknown, as every person on board the
Elizabeth was killed.

IN WESTERN STYLE.
Electric Car Held Up on the Lynn
Marshes.

LYNN, March 2l.--A Lynn electric car
was held up on the Revere marshes at
1890 o'clock this morning by man
armed with a revolver.
The conductor, the motorman and
seven passengers were driven from the
car. OF the passengers two were ladies,
who were frightened into Mysteries.
The highwayman attempted to rob the
conductor, but in the excitement of the
event and by reason OF the struggle 1t
occasioned, his design was frustrated
and he was forced to make his escape
empty handed. Taking to the marshes,
whence he had appeared, he was
swallowed up in the darkness. The Lynn
police, TO whom the affair was reported,
have only the most meager description OF
him upon which to base the investiga-
tion and the search, which will be made
today.
The car which was held up left Scollay
square, Boston, at IL 80 o'clock last night.
An hour later, as it was speeding across
the Revere marshes, the man suddenly
appeared and signalled to the motorman
to stop. He boarded the car by
the rear platform, and Immediately
entered into conversation with the con-
ductor. After talking a minute or two,
he suddenly seized the trolley rope, and,
pulling the trolley from the wire, thrust
a revolver into the conductors face and
demanded the money he carried.
The conductor grasped the would be
robbers wrist, turned the revolver to one
side, and then began fierce struggle.
Presently the two men separated, the
conductor making q dash through the
car toward the front platform, followed
closely by the man, with the revolver still
in his hand.
The passengers fed from the car, both
women screaming.
The conductor and motorman jumped
from the front platform, followed by the
robber. The latter, finding it impossible
to obtain the conductors money, took to
his heels and was soon lost to view.
All hands then returned to the car,
which proceeded upon its way to Lynn.
Upon its arrival the affair was reported to
the police.

COMPARISON OF FIGURES.
Governments Wheat Crop Figures De-
clared 10 Be Radically Wrong.


CHICAGO, March 2l.-The Orange Judd
Farmer this week, in discussing wheat
reserves and comparing its estimates OF
100000 900 bushels with the governments
estimate of 75,OOO.0OO bushels, declares
that the governments statistics, without
authority of law or statistical experience.
arbitrarily reduced the returns Of It's cor
respondents by from 1000, 900 to 90, 100000
bushels
In proof Of this, it declares that its re-
turns and the government returns came
from the same class of people, subject to
the same influences, and their figures OF
percentage OF corn are practically the
same, while the bureau percentage OF
wheat on farms is but little more than
half that returned TO this paper.
The statistician OF The Orange Judd
Farmer was formerly statistician Of the de-
partment of agriculture, and is conse-
quently familiar with the workings OF
that Office. Ii this charge is true. the
government correspondents, The Farmer
says, must have reported 125,0O0,0Oo to
10000, 900 bushels in farmers hands
March l, instead of 1000 900 bushels, as
declared by the bureau.
