Tho Gunboa, Wilminrton.s Trial.

New London, Conn, March 22.-The
expected speed trial Of the new United
States gunboat Wilmington, originally
scheduled to take place in the sound
off New London today, will have to be
deferred for few days at least, as the
unfavorable weather has caused unex-
pected delays. The officials are of the
opinion that it will not take place be-
fore Wednesday, but even that date Is
uncertain, as the Wilmington has not
yet arrived from Newport News. A
bonus of $4,000 will be paid for every
quarter of knot In excess of the con-
tract requirement of 10 knots an hour.

LOCOMOTIVE EZPL0DES.
Singular Accident on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern.
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED.

The Engine Literally Blown to Atoms,
hind Did Not Hear tho Report of the
Explosion.
Chicago, March 22.-The boiler Of the
locomotive which was hauling the Chi
cago and Boston special on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railroad
blew up yesterday, instantly killing
the engineer and fireman and complete
ly demolishng the engine. The dead
are: Alexander Franks, engineer, of
Chicago; Edward B. Smith, fireman, of
Chicago. The engineer was hurled 200
feet into the air through a network of
telegraph wires that were stretched
along the tracks and had his right leg
torn off. The fireman was thrown
against cattle car and nearly every
bone in his body broken.
None of the remainder of the train
crew nor any of the passengers were
injured.
The train to which the engine was
attached Is one of the fastest on the
Lake Shore road. The accident occur
red as the train had just pulled out
from the Englewood depot, and was
running at the rate of 20 miles an hour.
A peculiar feature of the explosion
was the fact that, although the report
was so loud 1t was heard by residents
half mile away, and the force SO
great that the engine was literally
blown to atoms, none Of the passengers
in the rear part of the train heard the
report and were not aware that any
thing unusual had happened until they
looked out after the Grain had come
to a sudden stop. The train dashed
along about $50 feet after the explos-
ion took place, and although the stop
was quite sudden none of the passen-
gers were thrown from.their seats, and
not one of the coaches was damaged
by either the explosion or the sudden
stop.
Parts of the engine were thrown into
the air hundred feet, and huge pieces
of the boiler weighing several tons
were tossed over the telegraph wires
into swamp, a distance of $50 feet,
while the baggage car, directly behind
the engine, was not damaged in any
way.
1t is not known just what caused the
explosion, and the officials of the road
say that IL will not be determined un-
til what remains of the engine is taken
apart and examined. 1t was thought
at first that there was no water in the
boiler. but this theory was abandoned,
as 1t was an outgoing train and the
engine had just been taken from the
