wILKESBARRE. Pa, Feb. 1s.-Three
emr.oyes of the Consumers Gas Company
% this city. George Maxwell. the foreman
and Samuel Maxwell and George Zerbee,
met death tonight in a peculiar manner
at the works. They went into the base
ment to clean out a keeping box. They
shut off the valve of the pipe leading from
the big tank and opened a valve under the
keering box. After the box had been
cleaned the gas from the tank was turned
INFO It again, but the men forgot TO close
the valve under the box. This allowed the
gas 10 escape all through the building. the
men started to locate the leak, and, enter
ing tine pumping room where the gas had
accumulated in large quantities. fell un-
conscious before they could ge. out. They
were not missed until inquiries were made
by persons complaining of their being un-
able 20 get any gas. A search being made,
the men were found dead. In less than
an hour the gas was turned into the mains
and the city illuminated. George Maxwell
leaves a widow and three children. The
other victims were single men.

Secretary Carlisle's Letter to
supporters of Blackburn.

CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-The next convention
of the Republican National League will DE
held at Milwaukee Aug. %. 26 and q. In
stead of leaving the selection to the meet
ing of the executive committee. a ballot
was taken last month by correspondence.
and Milwaukee won out by an overwhelm-
ing vote. and to-day the executive COM
mittee formally ratified the selection. The
meeting of the executive committee is held
for the purpose of securing money to carry
on the campaign this year. Hitherto there
has been no lack of funds. or rather very
little difficulty in securing all the money
needed. and no effort has been made until
to-day to arrange for the financial end of
the work. Secretary Bowling says that
there is no definite plan before the COM
mittee.
At the afternoon session the members set
about raising funds to carry on the cam
paign of 1896. New York came forward with
a cash subscription, and was followed at
once by other States. 1t soon became APP
parent that all financial difficulties would
be overcome. At this juncture a telegram
was received from the attorney Of the
league congratulating the meeting on the
successful outcome of a suit which has
OCCD DChdi4A5 DAiCC III <aiOdnys ~ N4iaSii
the league is given ST., 900, which it had
sued to recover on literature contracts.
A telegram of sympathy was sent TO JOS
H.. Manley, of Augusta, Me-, a prominent
member of the league, regarding the death
of mis- wife.
The secretary was instructed to distribute
10000 copies of Il. h. Walkers tariff pamph-
let.
1t was decided to open headquarters for
the league at the Lindell Hotel, in St.
Louis, and 1t is expected that there will be
a large attendance OF the league members
at the convention. A general meeting of
the league will be held in the convention
hall the night of June 16, but the league
will not go pledged to any candidate, and
will only work for general Republican IA
terest.
In regard to the Milwaukee convention a
on rates was appointed, con-
sisting OF john Goodnow, VI. j. Bowling, o.
L.. Resemblance. and one on securing speak
ers, consisting of Messrs. McAlpin, Good
now, West, Baxter and Bowling.
Reports on the general work of the
league in the different States showed good
working organizations in all the States ex-
cept California, and the secretary was in
structed to organize that State at once.
The State of Iowa claims to be the best
organized of any of the States, with 100
clubs in good standing. Iowa's scheme of
organization has been generally adopted by
the other States of the league.

econsfde the Measure.
SIXTY PENSION BILLS PASS
VOORHEES, FIGHTING GRANT OF
1900 A MONTH TO MRS. GRESHAM.
Senator Hill Advocates Beer for Im-
Appropriation and Other Bills.

WASHINGTON, Feb. BIN the Senate
to-day Mr.. Carter. of Montana. offered a
resolution TO recommit the tariff bill to
the finance committee for further consii-
GRAFTON. This move by one of the four Re-
publican Senator's who voted against taking
up the tariff bill caused much interesting
comment. Mr.. Carter did not press the
resolution, but said he would ask to take
IL up next Monday. when he would address
the Senate on it's adoption. The announce
ment was accepted as fore sha5owing a
statement OF the attitude and purposes of
the silver Senators who voted against con-
sidering the tariff bill.
1t was definitely arranged that the Cuban
question would be taken up at 2 o'clock
tomorrow, all appropriation bills thus far
reported TO the Senate being cleared from
the calendar.
The diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bin was passed during the day. The
close of day was marked by an anus
ing controversy between Mr.. Allen and Mr..
Call, which kept the Senator'S and specta-
tors in roars of laughter for half an hour.
About sixty private pension bills were
passed during the day. The bill pensioning
the widow OF the late Secretary Gresham.
as brlgadier general, at s3G monthly, with
an amendment making the amount 800
monthly, went over without action. in order
TO permit Mr.. Voorhees, to speak against
this amendment.
Soon after the Senate session opened Mr..
Hill spoke concerning the hundreds of petit
tions he was receiving from all parts Of
the country as TO the prohibition of the sale
OF beer at Ellis Island. where immigrants
arrive. The Senator said he could not see
why the sale of beer 10 immigrants was a
serious matter. II am inclined to believe"
said Mr.. Hill, that a glass of beer would
lie very welcome to these immigrants when
landing in this country. This vast petition
ing effort by well-meaning. but misguided
people Is evidence of the extreme Puritan
ism. the extreme Roosevcltism in progress
I'm New York: 1t is part OF the crusade
now going on"
Mr.. Lodge presented a resolution directing
the finance committee to investigate and
report on tire circumstances attending the
sale OF United States bonds during 1916
and the disposition OF the proceeds OF such
sales. The resolution went over. IL is sub
stantially the same as the resolution which
lost its parliamentary status yesterday by
Mr.. Hilrs speech carrying the debate up 10
2 o'clock, except that it directs the finance
committee instead OF a special committee
to make the investigation.
AT 5H5 p. m. the Senate adjourned.

JOHANNESBURG, Transvaal. Feb. 19-An
explosion OF dynamite has occurred at Vie
deEdorp and the poor quarter Of the tow
mas been blown 20 pieces. Hundreds of
houses are in ruins and the havoc wrought
is fearful. A number of persons have been
killed, and the populace has turned out en-
masse and is working to rescue those who
may be buried in the ruins. The windows i'm
every house in johannesburg were broken
by the force of the explosion.
Tie dynamite which caused the catastro-
phe filed eight trucks, which were being
shunted. The explosion caused an immens
hole thirty feet deep. Every house within a
radius of half a mile of the explosion was
RACED to the ground.
Forty dead. nearly all terribly mutilated,
have already been taken from the ruins, but
the work of searching the debris has scarce
ly begun. Two hundred of the most severe
- injured were admitted to the hospital,
where several died. 1t is believed that only
a few white persons were killed.
