CRISP's COMMITTEE PLACES.
Speaker Reed Appoints southerners
TO Fiji the Vacancies.

Washington, jan 12.-Speaker Reed,
Just before the adjournment to-day, filed
the vacancies on the committee on rules
and on ways and means caused by the
death Of the late Representative Crisp of
Georgia.
Several gentlemen who desired an APP
pointment to the ways and means COM
mittee have exercised considerable infiu-
ence upon the speaker TO secure the Office
and 1t was thought for a time that it
would be given Mr. Newlands of Nevada,
who was unusually well endorsed.
The speaker, however, gave the place to
Mr.. Boatner of louisiana whose seat was
declared vacant at the last session OF con-
gress, and who since his reelection to fill
out the remainder of the session has been
without a committee assignment.
The vacancy on the rules committee
was filed by the appointment Of Mr.. Bal
ley of Texas.
Mr.. Boatner Is now regarded as one of
the ablest lawyers in the House and
tireless and indefatgable committee
worker
Mr.. Bailey is one of the youngest mem.
bers of the House, although his service of
six consecutive years with a reelection
to the next congress, makes him some-
thing of a veteran In point of experience.
Mr.. Stokes of South Carolina, who, like
Mr. Boatner, was unseated last year, was
assigned to the committee on agriculture
and public buildings and grounds.
Charles Crisp, son of the late Speaker
Crisp, who was elected last month to
serve out the remainder of his father
term, was assigned to the postoffice and
mileage committees.

NrrRo-GLYcrRINE ExPLoDns,
Four Killed, One Injured and Great
Damage Done Property.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 12-This morning at
9lS the tank house of the Columbia Pow
der Company, located in a hollow. one
half mile back from the Ohio river and
midway between the boroughs of Shouse-
town and Shanopin. blew up.
Five minutes later the storage room, in
which was stored large quantity of ex-
plosive material, was also shattered by a
terrific explosion.
A list of killed and injured follows:
l.. d. Stackney, aged 40 years, single.
Rose Tnman, aged 20 years.
Matte Inman, aged ii years.
Walter Crane, aged SO years, married,
terribly injured, but may recover.
BY almost superhuman effort the flames
were controlled before the glycerine mag
azine ignited and a more serious catas-
trophe was averted. There were several
hundred pounds of explosives stored
therein.
All of the killed and injured were en-
ployes of the company.
The factory, with the exception of the
glycerine magazine, was totally destroy
ed.
The fragments of Stackney and the two
were taken to Coraopolis, where the in
quest will be held. The cause of the ex-
plosion will probably never be known
The residences of Irwin, Porter, Hough-
tons barn, Hart's house, and other out
buildings were burned.
Houses for a considerable distance sur
rounding were badly shattered by the ex-
plosion, and not a window pane remains
unbroken in the vicinity.

were well directed and frequent.
Both men were strong and on their feet

times. but the fouls were mostly accl-
