FOUR MEN KILLED.
A Terrible Accident at Fort
Independence.

Boston, Dec 6.-Four men were killed
and several seriously injured at Fort
Independence, on Castle Island in Bos-
ton harbor this afternoon by the ex-
plosion of mine which had been re-
moved from the channel by diver. The
dead:
Sergeant Morris McGrath.
Hiram Vaughn.
Private Brennan Ga dver).
- Ryan, a citizen.
The men were engaged in carting the
mine from the shore to the interior of
the island to place it with other i'm
plements of the same nature which had
been taken there since the war ended.
The accident occurred at about q
o'clock The three men, Vaughn, Bren-
nan and Ryan, had placed the mine on
the team and started to take it to the
place where the other ammunition was
stored. The road along which they
passed was unusually smooth, having
been constructed with a view to the
necessity of care in Transporting ex-
plosive material. Suddenly and without
warning the mine burst. The horse and
cart and the three men were blown
to fragments. Sergeant McGrath was
standing fully 20 feet away.
He was instantly killed by the con-
cussion. His body does not bear a mark
OF any sort.
AS soon as possible after the explos-
ion careful search was begun by
Lieut.. Raymond, who had charge Of
moving the mines, but not a fragment
of men or clothing could be found, and
Lieut. Raymond states that he cannot
explain how the explosion occurred. He
says that since the order was issued
from Washington, hundreds of mines
have been handled in precisely the
same way as was this one and trans
ported over the same road, and no harm
had resulted.
Ryan was a civilian assisting in the
work. Vaughn was a member of the en-
gineer corps. He had only two weeks
more to serve, when he expected to be
transferred to a naval college to take a
course in naval construction.
Sergeant McGrath was the keeper of
the island and was we'll known through
out Boston and vicinity on account of
his watchful care over those who visit
ed the island and Fort Independence
when they were open TO the public be
fore the war broke out. This was es-
pecially noticeable in the case of child
rem. and this characteristic made him
a great faVOrite

Edward J. Plunkett, the newly elect
ed mayor, is no stranger to city al
fairs, having served in the common
council for two years. and one year as
president of that body. He is 2S years
of age, and the proprietor of the Wind
sor livery stable, where, by careful at
tention to details and good business
methods, he has made his name well
known. He has an enviable reputa-
ton for uprightness and fair dealing,
and enjoys the unreserved confidence
of his constituency. Although the
youngest mayor that Marlboro has ever
had, he has given evidence by his work
on committees and in his business, that
he has both energy and ability, and it
is fair to suppose that his administra-
tion will be well conducted.
Mr.. Morse, the candidate of the re-
publicans, is young man of unblem-
ished character and exceedingly popu-
lar. 1t was proclaimed, however, that
he was the candidate of the manufac-
| turers. and this, together with the fact
that the labor leaders, who, as a gem
eral thing, hold themselves aloof from
politics, spoke in his favor, brought
about the result All in all, it is re-
garded as a tremendous victory by the
strikers. who are not slow to show their
qualification at the turn affairs have
taken.
Both sides put forth every effort to
win, and from the time that the polls
| opened in the morning until voting
closed in the afternoon, everything was
done to induce holders of the franchise
to make their appearance at the poll
| ing booths.
| Besides the election of a mayor, there
were many other surprises. One of these
took place in ward 4, where the fusion
parties elected their entire ticket. II
was generally thought that Daniel
Hartnett, the republican candidate for
alderman. would win IN this ward, bat
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-12-07

he got caught in the landslide and for
the first time in six years this ward
will be represented in the upper
branch of the city government by other
than a republican despite the fact
that Mr.. Hartnett was one of the most
popular candidates that have beenbefore
the people of this city.
Another big surprise was the election
of Ward as alderman in ward 3. The
democrats and citizens. working1nen's
parties would not unite in this ward
although both city committees did their
best to effect a. compromise Tt was all
to no avail however, and the republ-
can candidate Amadee Beauregard
was thought to have a sure thing
Cyprien Simoneau, the workingman' S
candidate, pulled a large vote from
Beauregard. and did not draw as large
vote away from the democratic cam
didate as was expected, and as a re-
suit Ward won the hardest contest of
the day.
The defeat of Warner, one of the cili-
zen workingman' candidates from
ward 2, was entirely unexpected, and is
entirely uneXplainable.
The reelection of Perry to the coun-
ell from ward was the only oppor-
tunity that Marlboro had to bestow an
honor on one of the heroes OF the Span
ish war The successful candidate was
a sergeant in Company F. Sixth regi-
ment, and is generally esteemed. He
is a republican,

VOTERS JUBlLANT,

Tonight the friends of the successful
candidates were jubilant. An overflow
meeting was held at st. Jean Baptiste
Hall, on French Hill. and everybody
and everything in sight was cheered.
Mayor elect Plunkett aud all of the
successful aldermanic and common
council candidates were present, and
enthusiasm ran high.
Alexander Grenier presided, and
Mayor-elect Plupkett was called upon,
and the ovation was so great that the
young man who had been so highly
honored bushed with pardonable pride.
Mr. Plunkett reiterated his remarks of
last evening, and further stated that he
had made no promises. and would do
everything in his power to serve his
city faithfully and well.
Other speakers were elect NJ
F.. Cleary, J. F. Ward, Clement Labos-

err: Councilmen- elect L. r.. Kirby, j. f.
Mitchell, and j. f. Dadmun, w. II.
Loughlin, DIR. Camille Cote, f. r. \.
Mildon. Mr.. Dadmun was received with
enthusiasm, as he is a manufactures,
but not a member of the combination.
The consensus of opinion at the de-
monstration was that the workingmen
would be in possession of the city hall
early in January and then-then just
await developments.

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT,
Several Tribes in Indian Territory Willing
TO Treat With the Government.

Washington Dec. 6.-Secretary Bliss
has received some important dispatches
from the Indian territory, Indicating a
change of sentiment on the part of
some Indian tribes with whom the
Dawes commission has been negotiat-
ing treaties. The dispatches Were con-
sidered at todays cabinet meeting.
They state that the Creek Indian coun-
ell is to meet in special session Decem-
Der II to consider the holding of a
new election looking to the adoption
of the Dawes treaty, which has been
once rejected at the polls.
The dispatch also states that the
Cherokee nation has not provided for
a commission to treat with the Dawes
commission. Both of these Indian
tribes have heretofore stubbornly held
out against making an agreement with
the government, but Secretary Bliss
now believes that satisfactory treaties
will be negotiated within short time

on the application of the attorney gen
eral, has ordered an injunction against

Skilled mining men with cap ital from the United States are com ing into the state in noticeable num- bers, New Ynrk being particularly well represented. The railroads have received an immense impetus because of the general prosperity of the state, and so many are in progress of build- ding or projected, that Sonora prom ises shortly to become a regular net work of railroads.
 Sonora MT. Wright says, Is the orange country of North America. Frosts that annoy in California and Florida never trouble in Sonora, so that the fruit can be grown in un- limited quantities. A big Baltimore firm has heavily invested in oranges in Sonora, and is handling it with profit. The sonora orange is claimed to be superior to the Jalisco fruit, and the output is steadily increasing. The state is blessed in having a governor with modern i'd as who like Amer jeans, and can see and understand the wealth they are bringing into sonora. He is fully in sympathy with all or the improvements of the times; takes personal pleasure in pushing electric light schemes, in new and improved systems of municipal drainage, m beautifying the public streets, in new and more desirable features in con- struction of building, mining and other machinery of the latest design, and the establishment of new manu- factories, such as those of textile fab rics, artificial 'ce. beer, canning es- tablishments,e ,etc. MT. Wright thought that before long, Hermosillo would be one of the most attractive cities in America. The climate of the state is also a great attraction. Flowers bloom there all winter long, aud even in summer the heat Is not So Oppres- sive in the shade. Mir. Wright saw Wick Smith, brother Of Editor J. A. smith Of this paper, and reported him as baylug made mining purchase with Mr. Wilbur of california from Mr. PrIckeJJ, brother of the Mexican Central conductor, that IS likely to prove highly protitable.-kl Paso Herald.

Other mining properties are also dmng remarkably well, and while the draw back to Prietas operations has been insufficient water, this will shortly be remedied by twenty mile pipe line from the mountains which will give all the water desired for effective mining.

MT. Flynn, few days ago, his year having been completed, wrote to the company surrendering his certificate: expressing his wish to withdraw and demanding the money paid in by him amounting to s52.
 In answer to his demand he receiv- ed the following letter, viz:
 Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb 24, 1898 MT. James Flynn, Jr., Nogales, Ari- ZOna.
 DEAR SIR:-Onr agent Mr. Stevens has just sent in word that you desire to withdraw, and sends also your cer- titicate. We are sorry to have you withdraw, for building-lOan invest ments are satisfactory only if persist ed in. They are longtime invest ments, and as such uniformly the most profitable as we'll as the safest form of cooperative investment that the country affords. The Prevalent is breaking the record for similar as- sociations on this coast. Last year none in this state did so well, both as to growth and profits, and this year bids fair to eclipse that.
 However, withrawal means, with us, virtually, indefinite suspension with out fines until such time as you are again in position to take up and carry a like number of shares, the maturity uf your shares being delayed just as long as suspension, plus the months for which you receive cash with drawal

Flynn IS retained as payment on stock which he has not, and which he maT never desire to take, or in other words it is an appropriation by the associa- tion Of money belonging to Mir. Flynn should he never take stock in said as- sociation, coerclve measure on the part of the association for keeping up the number of subscribers to it's stock. A letter such as that herein printed needs but to be read by any intel ligent person to place such person on guard against entering into any con- tract which can, or if it cannot, is in- tended to deprive him of the absolute right to demand at least the money which he has entrusted to others for the purpose of deriving profit there from
