FIREWORKS PLANT WIPED OUT.
OF Over Hundred Employees Onl,

OF over Hundred Employees Only
Three Were Injured.
New Yerk, June 9.-ThiTty-six build
ings, comprising almost the entire
plant of the Nordlinger-C Fire.
works company, at Graniteville, Rich
mond borough, were blown up yester-
day afternoon and the entire fireworks
plant practically wiped out of exist
ence. Although the fires which fol-
lowed the explosion lasted for several
hours, the wreck was complete within
few minutes. No lives we're lost, and
but three persons were injured, two of
them seriously. They are 3. %. Thugs
ter, machinist, and Thomas Fox,
painter. The loss on the buildings
will probably not amount to over 3d.,
800, as most of the structures were
small and cheaply constructed. The
loss on material, raw, and that made
up into fireworks, will amount to over
$4,000.
The first explosion occurred in the
rocket charging room. No one was in
the building at the time, and the first
intimation the lis employees in the
works had of what was to follow was
the bursting of the sides of the build
| ing, accompanied by an explosion. The
roof of the building shot into the air
and rockets exploded and flew in all
directions. They carried the fire into
all parts of the works, crashing
through windows and flying through
open doorways.
The operators in the various build
ings rushed out into the yards. The
| flying rockets, many of them of the
| greatest power, made It almost as dan
gerous for the employees to be out of
the buildings as to be in them. AS
they rushed out explosion followed ex-
plosion as the buildings few In the
air, After a score of explosions three
heavy ones that shook the ground for
miles occurred These were the three
store houses, in which supplies for the
Fourth of July were being held.
Murderer saws He Loved HIS Victim.
Providence, June 9.-In the Amos D..
Palmer murder trial yesterday the ex-
animation of the defendant was con-
tinued. Palmer who claims to have
been a victim of epilepsy, testified that
many times he had looked In a mirror
and had seen two noses and a double
mouth. This was preceded by peculiar
feeling about the eyes. He was sub
| ieet to bad dreams, and several times
woke up badly scared. He contracted
drinking habits in Florida, where he
could not drink the water. One summer
at Narragansett he was very dissipated,
and his chief drink was brandy and
soda. He had bad attacks Of delirium

he was asked. YES" he replied in a
soft tone. and his eyes filled with tears
as he said he loved his wife more the
day she died than ever before.

Baxley, Ca. June 9.-Within one
hour after being placed on trial here
yesterday for assault upon Mrs. Vicey
Edgerton, the negro, VIII Ables, was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
The hanging will be in Appling county
on June so, the earliest date allowed
after sentence is passed, Many people
believe the charge delivered by Judge
Bennett to the grand jury saved the
county the stain of lynching. Armed
men sat in the court house waiting for
the train to arrive from Brunswick,
when they intended to take Ables and
hang him, yet when Judge Bennet's
charge was delivered they wept under
its influences and stood silently by as
the prisoner was marched past to trial.

will doubtless multiply the interest in
this movement hundred fold, and
cause every one who is enjoying the
blessings of freedom to realize that the
country has produced but one George
Washington, aud that Mount Vernon
is to us Mecca pot to be neglected in
this, the history making, era of the
couctrv when 'heroes" are appearing
and disappearing as meteors.
The idea of observing today is, as
stated above Masonic in its orign, but
then enthusiasm produced by its sug-
pestion has by no means been confined
to the craft, but it mas animated the en-
tire country, and representatives and
delegations from every State and Ter
ritory, as we'll as Canada, and Belgium,
have We'd with the brethren OF the Old
Dominion in doing honor to the memory
of Washington, whose history as Ma
son is so we'll known.
Washington, who las made Mason
in fredericksburg, was member Of
Alexandria Lodge, No. %, of this city
He was also one of its Worshipful Mas
ers. The name of the lodge was chang
ed shortly after his death TO Alex
andris- Washington Lodge, No. 22
bv which name it has since been known.
Two other Masonic lodges are assoclat-
ed with the name of Washington. One
il Fredericksburg l. ,dge No. 4, where,
November 4, 1852, he became an eater.
ed apprentice, aud March 4, 1853, and
August 4, 1853, took the second and
third degrees and became Master Ma
son. The other lodge is Federal Lodge
No. l. District of Columbia, which as
sisted the two Alexandria lodges at bhe
funeral services at Mount Vernon, De-
cember 16, 1899. To these three lodges
the place of honor was given at the
cere N onies, which we're mainly re-
production, SO far SIS possible, OF the
solemu Masonic rites which marke q the
burial OF Washington one hundred years
ago.
All anxiety concerning meteorogical
conditions was dispelled at an early
hour this morning when a clear sky and
gentle crisp north wind Indicated tnat

and passed away, and amid all the
tnroes OF internecine strife, foreign wars
and embroglios, and while colossal
mansolsum have been erected here and
there to mark the resting places OF
those who have many admirers, the
natural instincts of all Alexandriaus
