Thomas McCann and Samuel Stewart.
two of the men who,were injured, are in
critical condition. McCann is lying at
his home in Rising Sun and Stewart is at
Delaware Hospital.
DR.. Chandler is attending McCann and
yesterday saw slight changes for the
better in his patient.
DR.. Ogle, who is attending Stewart,
| fnds that the most serious injury re-
ceived by the man are the bruises on his
abdomen. which may cause peritonitis,
which would in all probability result in
death.
If Stewart had not been blown into
the water he would have been roasted to
death.
John Mulhern, though badly injured,
will recover.
Alfred l. du Pont almost met the fate
which has befallen many of his family, for
he started to the press room few min
utes before the explosion occurred, but
thinking of something which he should
attend to elsewhere at once he turned
back and thus escaped death or mutila.

with McCann, Miss Frazier with Mul

Mulhern's recovery is rapid and he
seemed good bit better last night.
The explosion in the press room blew
tremendous hole in the ground. 1t is

The liquor license cases were yester-
day passed on by the Court Of General
Sessions.
Cosmo Fidance, who applied for a
wholesale license TO sell at Eighth and
Scott streets, did not appear. His appli-
cation was opposed because the proposed
place is near two schools and the Eighth
Street Baptist Church. The Court de-
cined to grant the license.
The application of Join J. Shea for a
license for the Pennsylvania House,
Front and King streets, brought up the
question of the reputation of that stand.
The Court unanimously decided to
give Shea license and Chief Justice
Lore expressed the hope that he would
redeem the house. The Court ruled that
it could take cognizance OF the reputa-
ton of a place applied for. Judge Spru-
ance expressed appreciation OF Mr..
Prickett's services to the Court and the
public in the liquor cases.
In the Superior Court the bond OF
Courtland G. Montgomery for the ad.
rdition to his term, bringing it to Janu-
ary 8 was approved. Patrick Neary
and James Megary were his bondsmen
in the sum Of 5000.

deal of improvement is going on. G.
