A MYsrEsIoUs EXPLOSION


Associated Press Dspas:n DIV speclal Wires
New York, Oct. 81. - Hamlin ].
Andrus, president Of the Arlington
Chemical Co.. was killed BY an ex-
plosion in his Office, at Yonkers, to-
day. His head was shattered to bits
and the fragments were strewn about
the room. f9
Since explosives are not used in the
Arlington chemical works there is 9
mystery as to what was the cause OF
the tragedy. Mr.. Andrus was alone at
the moment and had apparently just
opened the safe. When the Office was
entered by those who heard the detona-
tion it was filled with smoke, such as
might have been made BY blasting
powder or dynamite. There is theory
that during the night an attempt was
made to rob the safe and that the
thieves succeeded in introducing. some
high explosive in the door, which was
discharged when Mr.. Andrus opened it.

BoGUs TAx RECEIPTS.


TO Issue Them Already?
~ know nothing except that the
Republicans have already begun to
manufacture tax receipts" said p
Democrat who is county official to
reporter yesterday. His attention
had been drawn TO the subject by the
fact that Republican in his own ward
had had a tax receipt placed under bis
door one day this week. The circum.
stance was suspicious from the fact
that the Republican had already regie.
tered on tax recent for which he had
paid. 1t was therefore very peculiar
that another receipt in the same name
should be in existence. The number OF
the second receipt bore no correspond
ence to the number of the receipt secur-
ed by the man himself.
The county official said that he had
seen two or three such receipts, but
the one in question had been thrown
into the ash barrel by the recipients
wife and could not therefore be had
for further examination. Although
the signature on the alleged bogus ra-
ceipts il good imitation OF the cor
rect signature, it does not come quite
up to the mark and the seal is different
from the seal now in use at the county
tax office. The county official could
not say whether the receipt was tho one
said to have been stolen from Mr..
Dickey's Office when 1T was ON Market
street below Third at the racket several
years ago.
When Deputy Receiver of Taxes
George j. .Finck was asked con .erning
the alleged hogus receipts. he said that
be had heard OF none beyond what he
had been told by the same official who
talked with the reporter. Mr.. Finch
had seen no bogus receipts. He thought
it rather early for them to be issued.
lie said that Mr.. Dickey had not heard
of any others.

THE OXY-HYDROGBN COMPANY.
Is Desperately Anxious to Erect
Gas Works Here.
PETITION WITH MANY SIGNATURES
Presented to Street and Sewer
Department.
Petitioners Request That Body to With
draw Its Opposition to the Company
The Petition Forty nine Feet In Length
Action Theron Deferred. 'sb

la
The Addicks volcano has had another
eruption and Tuesday it belched forth
great shower OF lava upon the Di-
rectors of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment as they sat in peaceful session.
The lava was in the form of monster
petition eigned by hundreds of people
who appear TO banker after the intro
duction of the gas of the Oxy- Hydrogen
Co. -.
The petition was addressed to the
directors Of the department and was us
follows:
"We, the undersigned, citizens of
the city of Wilmington, do hereby petit
tion your honorable body to Withdraw
your opposition to the construction OF
gas works by the Oxy-H Hydrogen Co.,
| OF the State of Delaware. in this city.
elm our judgment public opinion
| does not uphold you in continuing your
opposition to the business of that com-
| pany. The expenditure OF the neces-
sary money for the completion OF the
gas plant and the laying of mains for
the distribution of gas throughout the
| city, would be of benefit to large
number of workmen, and he OF great
\ assistance to this community. 5
Jonathan Roberts, one OF the bearers
of the monster petition, who is also a
lieutenant OF the Union Republican
party, announced that there were 1000
names on it. But that statement is
not borne out by the paper ITSELF There
were about 40 feet of names running
something like 26 names to the foot.
10 some places there were double row
of names, making probably 90 to the
foot; in other places the signer's ad'
dress was opposite his name, and in
other places was underneath the name.
On account of the irregularity of methoc
an exact estimate would be hard tt
make. Allowing full double row o.
signers for the whole 40 feet would
aggregate about 1850 names, but tht
double row does not run the whole dis
tance. The actual number OF pames II
probably between 800 and 1000. TIL,

GREEN MOUNTAIN POLITICS.

What Correspondent Says of the situ-
 ation in Vermont--Bryan Not 8 Po-
 litical Footlight Even.
 A writer to the Journal and Courier from Rutland, Vt, says: The cam paign opened here on August IL No class of people on the face of the earth enter into politics with more enthu- siasm and business than the Vermont CTS. Could our friend Bryan have look ed into Rutland at o'clock on the eve ming of the eleventh, he would have made up his mind that politically he would not be a footliglt in Noyern- Der. I also notice that the Vermonters do not lose sight of the tariff question, although nothing in particular interest was said about it by the speakers.
 General Horace Porter scored the silverite convention In the following ing words at his Rutland speech
 ''The convention of the silverites, a party of cranks, met in St Louis on July 25. They are the lsind of crankc that think they can make two trains pass each other on single track and avoid a. collision. In the same way they think they can make 50 cents worth of silver into a dollar worth 100 cents without any one losing by the transaction. They would take their silver to the mint and have it stamped with the stamp of the United States On one side they want Tn God We Trust and on the other, I suppose l But Don't Trust Us
 TSenator Redfield Proctor made ar appeal to the audience and asked that all those who would pledge themselves to vote and act as a committee in the election of September 1 to say T. Te this appeal of Senator Proctor there was an answer that was almost deafen- ing. If that is the feeling, continued the senator, we shall carry every state in the country in November.
 "There can be no doubt. judging from
 paper sent by the writer of the let ter but that the Green Mountain boys mean business in this campaign. Al the Rutland parade there were 2,S00 re- nub1jcans in line"

THRIFTY TRAIN ROBBERS
Blow Open Safe While Burning Powder to
Brighten Passengers.

St. Louis. April 1.-The Frisco fast ex.
press from the west was held up by three
masked men near Richland, 20 miles
east of Lebanon about O'Clock.
When the train was nearing Richland
the engineer saw a red light down the
track and stopped the train. The engi-
neer and fireman looked out of the cab
window and bullet whizzod past the
engineers head. A man sprang into the
cab with Winchester rifle and compelled
the engineer to get down and help the
robbers to get into the express car.
1t was not until several volleys had
been poured into the car that the messen-
ger unbolted his door and admitted the
robbers. The messenger declared that
everything worth.taking was looked in
the through safe to which he did not
possess the combination.
The bandits went to work to blow the
safe open They worked for nearly an
hour, firing their guns at intervals to
intimidate the passengers and trainmen.
At last the safe was opened, the booty
secured and the robbers galloped off.
A posse left Leabnon early this morn
ing in pursuit. The express officials
claim not to know how much the rob-
bers got, but it is said there was over
$50, 900 in the safe.

1T CAN'T BE MCKINLEY.
Judge Brewer Sizes Up the Presidential
Situation.

st. Louis, April 1.-Justice David
Brewer of the United States Supreme
Court, spent yesterday in this city.
In answer to questions concerning
Presidential candidates and their chances,
he said: "If Mckinley comes within so
votes of the nomination on the first bal
lot there will be gradual accessions to
his support from those who haunt the
winning side until he will be nominated.
But | believe he will lack 100 votes, and
in that event all his opposition will
unite upon the man least Objectionable
to each of the CLANS, and that man is
Allison of Iowa. Seotionalism is factor
not to be despised and the middle west
is too busy in vigor and votes to be ig-
nored."
Concerning the Chicago nominee, the
judge said: 'Tho Democrats are in a
state of nebulous uncertainty. They
are drifting to the free silver lee shore,
and unless pilot is found to steer them
into quiet waters, disaster awaits them.
There is in this, looking at it from a
non-partisan point of view, a cheering
prospect that the Democrats will put
aside all favorite son enthusiasm, and
every argument of expedienoy and name
their best.''
Justice Brewer left for Washington
last night.
