Boston, Dec. -Four men were killed
and several seriously injured at Fort

zen.
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.
Vaughn, Brennan 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 usually
smooth, having been constructed with
view to the necessity of care in trans
porting explosive material. Suddenly
and without warning tn" mine burst.
The horse and cart and the three men
were blown to fragments. Sergeant
McGrath was standing fully 90 feet
away. He was instantly killed by the
conclusion. His body does not bear
a mark of any sort. Not fragment
OF the other three men or clothing
could be found.
Since the order was issued from Wash
ington hundreds of mines have been
handled in precisely the same way as
was this one, and transported over the

elevator in the II story building at
Pine and William streets, occupied by
the United States Fire Insurance COM
paty, yesterday resulted in the death of
one of the company's directors, the fa-

on top of II from the roof of the build
ing. There was a jarrng sound and
then crash. The cables snapped. and
the CONFERENCE.-The, half a dozen in
number and weighing from so to 75

head, crushing it in. Another struck
Director Caldwell a glancing blow on
the back of the head, fracturing the
skull and exposing the brain. Under

The elevator man, Dennis Sullivan,

open the lower gate just as the> first
crash came, and the other passengers
in the car were able to get out of the
cage in time to save themselves. After
the accident Sullivan was arrested and
is held awaiting the action of the cor
oper. The elevator had been inspected
