SHOT BY BURGLARS.
Ex-POstmaster Killed, His Safe Blown
Open and $500 Stolen.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 3.-M F. Corcoran,
eX-postmaster at Duryea, a small village in
Luzerne county was shot and killed by
burglars last night, in his saloon, which adj
joined his residence. His housekeeper was
gagged and bound and the safe blown open.
The men who committed the crime have not
yet been discovered.
Corcoran was proprietor Of the Duryea
Hotel. He closed the house shortly after
midnight last night and retired to his
room. The presence of the burglars in the
building was not known to him until he
was aroused by the screams Of the servant
girl. The latter's room was at the head of
the stairway and was the first room en-
tered. After the girl had been bound and
gagged the burglars started for the room
occupied by Mr. Corcoran, but they We're
met in the hallway by the latter. Mr.. Cor
coran rushed at the approaching men, but
was shot down before he had gone ten feet,
the bullet striking him in the neck and
severing his jugular vein. The burglars then
told the girl to make no cutlery or she also
would be killed The men then blew open
the safe, securing about $500. When they
left the house Miss Monahan, the servant,
managed to eXtricate herself and gave the
found. Miss Monahan says there were four
men. Suspicion is attached to several
strangers seen in Duryea for the past week.
They are said to have had dynamite cart
ridges and revolvers in their possession. The
robbery occurred about 3 o'clock.

CHEAP LABOR At MANILA.
Spaniards Employed in POstOffice Re-
ceive About 5000 in silver n Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-Referring to
the work of the postoffice at Manila, now
in American possession, the Call says: THE
most interesting thing connected with the
acquisition Of the Manila postoffice is the
adoption by the federal government of the
cheap labor facilities of the island. Six men
were sent from the San Francisco postofice
to Manila and this number was reinforced
by fourteen men from Manila. Two of these
latter are United States soldiers who had
enlisted from the postal service and twelve
are Spanish postal employees retained be-
cause of their knowledge of the Spanish
language and the routing of the office. These
Spaniards received before the American oc-
cupation salary of $50 each per annum in
Mexican silver, being equal to about $50 in
American silver or gold. The office was
closed every alternate day and when work
ing it was closed for two and three hours
each day, beginning about noon. The total
number employed was two hundred, but
they took life easy and did the work of
about twenty Americans. The twelve Span
iards who are retained receive salaries rang
ing from $3.50 to 500 per annum in Mexican
money silver-such being the rate Of wages
in the Philippines for that kind of service,
but they have to work every day instead
of every alternate day as heretofore"

EXPLOSION ON A STEAMER.
six Men Killed by the Bursting of a
Pipe on the Alamo.

NEW YORK, Dec. Six members Of
the crew OF the Mallory line steamship AL
amo were killed tonight by the bursting of
a steam pipe while the vessel lay at her
pier in East river The dead are: Patrick
Murphy, second engineer; Thomas Ntzhugh,,
fireman; Patrick Farrell, oiler; Frank Nc
Mahon fireman; L. Connel fireman; j.
Ryan, coal HEAVIER.
John Stoneman, a passenger; Hugh Cam
ming, chief engineer of the vessel; John
Ryan, the port engineer of the Mallory line;
r. B. Robinson, an assistant engineer, and
another escaped more or less badly scalded.
The other men in the engine room were
hardly recognizable when their bodies were
taken out Most Of the passengers were on
deck when the explosion occurred. There
was no excitement among them and few of
them knew for some time that six men had
been killed. John Ryan, the experimenting
engineer of the Mallory line, was technically
placed under arrest
The Alamo has only recently been dis
charged from transport service for the
government, and is fresh from Roach's
yard, where she received a thorough over
hauling, including, it is said, new steam
pipes and boilers. She was scheduled to
sail at 1870 p. m. yesterday for Galveston,
via Key West, but was detained in order to
place on board an unusual quantity of
freight. She carried thirty passengers. At
the time of the accident, about o'clock,
the ship had cast off her lines and the tug
boat President had her line taut to assist
the Alamo into midstream. Her engines
had made but two or three revolutions when
the explosion came. 1t gave forth a report
that was heard all through South and
Water streets, and the force of it sent a
shock and SILVER throughout the length of
the steamship. The flooring of the deck inn
mediately over the engine room was torn
into spinters and the steam poured up
through the open seams in clouds The
sound of escaping steam was mingled with
the shrieks of dying men who were envel-
oped in it. The flow of steam was checked
with great difficulty and not until the lapse
of FIVE or six minutes Then it was found
that it had completely filled the engine room
and fire room, and that all who had been
confined there had been not only parboiled
but suffocated by it. There was no sign of
life left in any of the bodies and in several
instances the skin had peeled from their
hands and faces.
The second engineer was found close to the
break in a position which indicated that he
had tried to shut off steam at the boiler
when the accident occurred and had died in
the attempt. Two of the fremen were
found gripped in one another's arms at the
foot of the ladder leading from the fire

were postponed until some evening during
the coming week in order that the one-hour
race between Taylore and Elkes could be
decided before midnight.
The petroleum motor tandem, which was
to have paced Eddie McDuffie, of Boston, in
his one-mile exhibition, was rendered USE
less by the bursting of a tire and a single
machine of the same make, ridden by Henri
Tournier. of France, was substituted. The
motor, it is claimed, can cover a mile in
less than a minute on large track, but on
the ten-lap track it was impossible to test
the machine at full speed owing to the
number of turns. AS soon as the motor
made few laps and was going at a good
clip McDuffie tackled on behind it and COW
cred the mile in 2:G9 3-5, which was an ex-
cellent performance when the conditions are
taken into consideration.
The last event, the one-hour match be-
tween Edouard Taylore and Harry Ekes,
was begun a few minutes before IL o'clock.
The men started from opposite sides of
the track. They were paced by tandems
and the prize was a purse of $1,000, $500 of
which went to the loser. Following is the
result:
