WRECKED BY DYNAMITE.

Three Men Killed, Fifteen Injured and
Several Buildings Demolished.
Three men killed, fifteen or more in
jured, and several buildings demolished
by the explosion of twenty-five pounds of
dynamite at New Holland, Pa. The Penn
svlvania Telephone Company is building
n new line in that vicinity, and had stored
the explosive in the summer kitchen of
the Eagle Hotel. Early in the morning
company and one of 4 gang just about to
start to work, went to the summer kitchen
to get out enough dynamite for the days
use. A few moments later there was a
terrible explosion and one side of the
kitchen was blown out. A big hole on
another side had blood and flesh on the
ragged edges, ard it is supposed that Can
mons body was sent through there. The
unfortunate man was blown TO atoms, his
stomach having been found two blocks
away Up to a late hour neither his legs
nor hi1 head had been found. Frank
Hammond, of Harrisburg, who was stand
ing Just outside the building, had every
bone in hi. body broken and was instantly
killed. George Crossman, of Steelton,
water boy, was also standing near the
building and was so badly injured that he
died. Two other buildings were badly
wrecked, as was also part of the hotel,
while the whole front of n large imple-
menc store was blown out. The tin roofs
of number of houses were razed and
ruined.

DOUBTS STORY OF NANsEN.


GrceIy Man Says Windward Could Hardly
Havo Returned So Soon.
Lieut.. l.. ID. Brainard, of the Second
Cavalry, who accompanied Gen. Greely on
his famous Arctic expedition and was
with that officer in the most hazardous of
his exploits, is skeptical as TO the value
of DIR. Nansen's discoveries. In conver-
sation with reporter Lieut.. Brainard
said: THE information contained in the
accounts of Nansen's return is so meager
that l hesitate to express an opinion as
TO the scope and value of his work. Ii
the reports prove true and Nansen is re-
turning, then his journey has indeed been
n wonderful one and he deserves the ap-
plause of the scientific world for that
pluck and energy displayed by him under
most trying and discou-aging circum-
stances. So far as | car recall, no Arctic
authority, except one, treated Nansen
plan of reaching the North Pole as a sane
and feasible one. To push the Fran north
of the New Siberian Islands into the icy
seas from which no vessel had ever es-
capped the clutches of the polar pack was
regarded by those having knowledge
of the subject rs hazardous in the ex-
treme-almost the work of madman-
and few expected Nansen to return ali
and l doubt if there were any who Ia,
heved it possible for the Fran TO long cs-
cape being crushed in the massive ice of
that region. The safe return of Nansen
and the Fran, however, will not change
in the slightest degree the opinion of ex-
perts that Nansen's novel plan of drift
ing to the North Pole was foolhardy and
that he displayed lamentable ignorance of
the dangers lurking IN the treacherous ice

showing the manufacturing and CONNER
cial Industries of this country. The move
ment for these exhibitions originated in
Philadelphia. The Venezuelan Govern
ment has granted a concession to an
American to establish permanent exhibit
tons of American goods at Caracas, Mar
acaibo and other large cities of NeneZue-
Ia. A new phase of the long contest be-
tween Chill. Bolivia and Peru is reported
by which Bolivia is promised a coast line
on the Pacific. More than year ago
treaty was made giving Tacha and africa
to Chill, thus leaving Bolivia cut off from
access to the ocean and entirely without
coast line. Since then the countries have
been negotiating. and it is said that n
treaty has been effected by which Bolivia
gets back strip through Tacha and africa
sufficient to give her an outlet to the
Pacific.

somewhat lower conditions of thos

somewhat lower conditions of those
States. In the past a final condition of 20
per cent or over has been followed by
an abundant supply of apples, so that the
excellence of the crops of the present sea-
son, in this particular and extensive re-
gion, is plainly evident. In other parts of
the country, with a few exceptions, the
condition is low.
Peaches-Present returns show a gen.
orally reduced condition. OF the COM
mercial States the best prospects still
are found in Delaware, Michigan, Ohio
and Maryland, while in New Jersey, Vir-
Cinia, Georgia and California percentages
indicate less than half n crop. In Della
ware the early crop was nearly ruined by
curculio and ''yellows' and fruit on the
trees is badly stung there and in Mary
land, though fine product is expected
from the mountain orchards of the latter
State. In Michigan and Ohio excellent
crops are indicated.
Grapes-The condition of grapes is gen
orally high. Some complaints are made
of rot, due to excessively moist season,
but seemingly not extensive enough to
much affect the general condition.

DR.. Nansen SAYS that the Fran

DR.. Nansen says that the Fran drifted
with the ice in westerly direction to 81
degrees and he expects the vessel will
eventually arrive Mt Spitzbergen. He
adds that wherever they penetrated they
found the ice broken. Large patches of
water were also found, $500 meters deep.
Below the depth of 100 meters the water
was appreciably warmer, probably owing
TO the Gulf stream. Rocky scars, Of
which the explorers had no previous
knowledge, prevented entrance into the
Olenek River for days. In consequence
of the scarcity of dogs with the expedi-
ton, Dr. Nanscn was compelled TO turn
hack at S6.15. He adds that if he had
been provided with n sufficient number of
dogs End canoes the pole would have been
reached The land voyage was most
nrducus, but extremely available scien-
tifc results were obtained. In 1893 DR.
Nansen reached the north coast of Franz
Joseph Land and built stone house in
which he lived the whole winter. The
Jackson -Harmsworth expedition arrived
ut Franz Joseph Land the following
spring.
There was the usual amount of hard
ship and peril in the journey which led
TO this recent inconclusive result. On
several occasions there were narrow es-
capes from death while navigating among
the huge blocks of ice. There was much
wandering through snow and in intense
cold on sledges drawn by dogs. One win
ter was spent in a hut built of stones,
Garth and moss, and having roof of wal
rus hide, lied down with ropes and COW
cred with snow; and for period of ten
months bear meat and blubber were the
only food. During weeks the mercury
was frozen. the lowest temperature being
G2 degrees below zero; and at one time the
vessel of the party, the Fran, was firmly
frozen in ice of more than thirty feet of
measured thickness. These incidents
show in general way what difficulties
were encountered, and what bravery and
fortitude were required to overcome them.
1t does not appear that there was any
weakening on the part of any of the ad-
yenturers because of these severe trials,

The story of DIR. Nansen's attempt to
reach the North Pole is interesting, like
the accounts of previous explorations of
the same kind, i'll the sense that the world
always likes to read about personal adj
ventures in remote and mysterious re-
gions. There is certain charm in records
of courage and endurance even when the
results are not of any material import
ance; and the results of these successive
Arctic journeys can hardly he said to have
justified the expense and privation, the
suffering and fatality that they have in
yolved. DIR. Nanscn claims to have pro-
