Houses off Socialists searched.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-Acting under orders from the authorities, the police to-day made a, search of the residences of a number of socialist members of the reichstag and others of the social dem- ocratic party for proofs that the breach es of the laws of association had been committed. The search resulted in the seizure of a large number of letters and the minutes of the proceedings at sev- eral socialist meetings. The houses of eighty socialists of prominence were visited and searched by the police, in- cluding the residences of Herren BebeI and Singer, the socialist leaders in the reichstag. It is expected that similar searches will be made in the cities and towns throughout Prussia.

THE G0UNoD SOCIETY.

At last evenings rehearsal of ''The Redemption" after signor Agramonte had given his 250 or more singers to un- derstand that he meant business, the frog got out of their threats and they sang with tremendous vim and ardor unquenchable. Signor Agramonte is a very commanding personality on that platform-a moving power that starts the Ego" in the laziest and most phleg- matic. He spies out the hapless lag gards as quickly as he discerns false notes.
 But the volume of fresh, pure tone that went up to the rafters last night and shook them was as inspiring and delightful as northwest blast after sultry weather
 It is not all "for-tissi-sissi-mo" as Ag- ramonte terms it, however, for so well trained is the chorus that the transi- tion from blast to whisper is effected with surprising and startling ease. Shut your eyes--and you might imagine there were thousand musical bees in the hall murmuring seductively. Agra monte is sort of Pied Piper of Ham, elin," only he doesn't pipe; he points with his baton. The result is the same, though. for they all follow whither he points. A picturesque conductor is he as he stamps and scolds, storms and wheedles, and the spectators find it all very amusing and novel. The chorus is devoted to Signor Agramonte, and where he leads they rush on pursuuing the musical battle with untiring en- ergy.
 The fact is the Gounod chorus is a wonderful organization and deserves every bit of the renown it has won in the past. The society will probably make their best effort when Gounods Redemption" is sung on Tuesday af- ternoon and evening, December 10. The music of this work is very beautiful and pre-eminently singable. If Gounod knew anything he knew how to write for the voice.
 The list of soloists engaged is irre- proachable and one that will draw large audience. It is as follows:
 Corinne Moore Lawson, said to be the finest lyric soprano in the country; Miss Gertrude May Stein, the contralto who made such a favorable impression here in St. Paul." Dr. Carl Outfit of New York, an oratorio basso with a magni- flcent voice and an artist of rare abil- ity; W. H. Rieger, the ever popular ten- or. The society will be further assisted by the Boston Symphony orchestra.

All Were Found Dead.

Paris, Tex, Nov. 25.-Three weeks ago three hunters and trappers pur- chased a trading boat at the mouth of the Bois d'Arco and with a hired boy
 moved two and a half miles below Ar thur. For several days the boat had been observed anchored without hu- man being in sight. Yesterday parties concluded to investigate and the corpses of the three men and boy were all seen lying in bed undressed. A ferocious dog prevented the parties from enter ing. The victims had evidently been dead several days. One of them had his skull crushed. When the trappers purchased the boat they were known to have $500, and it is supposed they were followed and murdered for this money.

MANY PERSONS ARE KILLED
TERRTBnE ACCIDENT AT PALMA RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE.

Eighty Persons, Many of Whom Were
 Women, Were Engaged in Emptying old
 Cartridges When an Explosion Occurred
 That Resulted in Death.
 Barcelona, Nov 25.-A terrible acci- dent resulting in sad loss of life oc- cured to-day at Palma, capital of the Island of Majorca, 13O miles south of this city. Eighty persons, most of whom were women, were employed in emptying old cartridges outside the walls of the town, when one of the cartridges exploded in some unknown manner.
 There was large quantity of powder that had been taken out of the cart ridges lying about over a large area, and this was ignited by the discharge of the cartridge. A tremendous explo- sion followed, which shattered the ma Esonry of the town walls which are ex- tremely thick, and did considerable damage to houses. A large number of iPSOPiS NSlG hAIiCbp buL lAAC ShebSI ACS5 6 of life has not been ascertained.
 The bodies of seventeen dead have been found, but it is feared many more were killed. Forty persons were seri- spusly wounded, and some of them will X die. Many of the dead and wounded were found at considerable distances from the scene, they having been hurl- ed bodily through the air by the force a aof the explosion. Some of the dead were terribly burned and mangled, so much so in a number of cases that iden- Etification will be extremely difficult, if Eot impossible.
 An official inquiry into the cause of the disaster will be held.
 A later dispatch from Palma states that the loss of life through the ex- plosion was far greater than was stated In the first reports of the accident, It is now known that thirty-seven women and fourteen men were instantly killed. Thirty-five women and five men were seriously injured. and of this number stWenty have since died.
