WHICH DROWNED FIRSTp
Curious Legal Complication Arising
From the Bourgogne Disaster.

New York, July O.-Whether Capt.
William V. Clark or his wife died first.
or If they died at ALL or if one survived
the wreck of the French liner Bour-
gogne were the questions yesterday be-
fore Chancellor McGilI in the Chancery
court. in Jersey City. They affect the
captains will, made just before he sailed.
and bequeathing his property, worth $780,
600. to his wife. She was named as ex-
ecutrix.
If Mr.. Clark died first all his property
goes to the heirs of Mrs. Clark, but if the
wife died first then Mr. Clark's heirs take
the property. The Clarks were first-class
passengers, and not one in that cabin was
saved, according to common report, but
there is a remote possibility that they
were picked up. and may appear alive at
any time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lacasse, of PlainfieId. two
of the survivors of the collision. have
been subpenaed, but as they were sec
ond-class passengers, it is not likely that
they knew Mr.. and Mr.. Clark The
agents of the French line have also been
subpenaed but they refuse TO go TO
Jersey city, and it IS probable that their
testimony will be taken in this city.
A man presented himself at the house
of Joshua Clark. at Hackensack, few
days ago. and said that ne was on the
Bourgogne when she went down. and he
saw Capt Clark and his wife sink, clasp
Cd in each others arms.

EXPLOSION OF MINES.
A Massive Column of Water Is
Thrown One Hundred Feet.

Baltimore. July 2O.-All restrictions
placed on vessels entering and leaving
the harbor in crossing the mine fields
have been withdrawn. When the night
blockade was raised the order requiring
vessels of large draught to be towed
over the mine fields was continued in
force. AS all Of the mines have been re-
moved this necessity no longer exists.
and such vessels may now enter and
leave the herbor using their own power.
The mines taken up have been stored
ready 10 be put down should an emer-
Sency arise. Three of the mines were
exploded under the supervision of Lieut.
Charles w. Kutz. in charge of the United
States engineers Office in Baltimore.
This was done for experimental purposes,
TO note the effect Of the mines. The test
proved the terribly destructive power of
the mines. as the explosion caused an
upheayal which would have destroyed
any vessel within range. An area Of wa
ter over 300 feet square was thrown Up
in massive column to a height of over
100 feet 1t Is not thought that any
great destruction of fish occurred in the
channel in which the mines were placed,

merchant vouches for the statement that
when Italy sold the cruiser Cristobal Co.
lon then the Garibaldi. to Spain. her big
guns arrived too late to be tested before
being mounted on board. They were ac-
cordingly put on board without being
tested. but the Armstrong;. by whom the
guns were made insisted upon their be-
ing tested. nevertheless.
The Spanish commander of the ship
protested. declaring THAI there was no
time for a full test. and. besides. such a
test Of the guns on board would shatter
the furniture mirrors. etc. in the cabins.
The Armstrong; We're still insistent and
finally compromise was made, whereby
the guns were put ashore and tested at
SpeZzia.
The test was in every way satisfactory,
but the Spanish commander sailed away
without again shipping the guns. This
accounts for the fact that when the Cris-
tobal Colon was run ashore and sunk by
the ships of the American fleet on the Gu
ban coast, it was found that she was
without heavy armament.
