POWDER MILL BLEW UP.
with II Went the Bodies of Four of
the Employees.

San Rafael, Cal, June l9.-The United
States Smokeless Powder Company's fac
tory, situated on Point San Pedro, four
miles from this town, was the scene of a
disastrous explosion. AS a result four
employees were killed and three seriously
injured, while six buildings were demol-
ished by the shock and resultant flames.
The bodies of the dead, which are now
at the morgue, are so mutilated as to be
almost unacceptable. The dead: Edwin
Secumbe, John S. Secumbe, James M.
Hennessy, M. Hollenbeck. The injured

To the sudden igniting of the powder
contained in the granting room the disas-
ter is due. a second explosion quickly
followed the first, and soon four mixing
houses were in flames and were entirely
consumed. The explosions at first were
mistaken for the national salute at the
military stations in honor of Bunker Hill
day. About year ago an explosion oc-

The property damage today will not ex-
coed $4,000.
1t is surmised the primary cause of the
explosion was the criminal carelessness of
one of the workmen who was smoking

the offender was either Hollenbeck or John
Secumbe, who paid dearly for his folly.

An Indignant Hobo.

There was an indignant hobo in the
railroad yards late Monday afternoon.
He made up his mind to ride on a spec
ial stock train and the crew Of the train
were equally determined he should not
ride. The hobo was a heavy set fellow
with a little jag aboard and got into an
alteration with a brakeman which re-
suited in a shot being fired at him. at
which he took to the woods for a minute
but afterwards ran alongside the train
and climbed aboard one of the cars. The
brakeman started after him and the
recollection Of the revolver probably
caused the hobo to start to climb
down. The brakeman waited until his
face was about a foot above the top of
the car and then left drive a kick at the
hobo which knocked him off the car and
sent him rolling into the ditch. The
son. Of toll was rather a sorry looking
sight when the train had pulled out.
His face was bloody and scraped from
side to side, and was colorcd like "a rain
bow. He was indignant too, and offered
to lick the whole train crew if the train
would only wait but it wouldn't. So the
tramp wandered Indignantly down the
yard and waited for another train.

He Saw Dewey.

Secretary of State Falley saw Dewey
and the big celebration while in New
York as the representative of the state,
and tells many interesting incidents of
the trip. He called on Quinn while in
New York and renewed old acquaint-
ances, and the committee there made
him the recipient of all possible court
estes during the celebration. On the
way to Washington Fred says says the
railway along which the admiral passed
was lined with people as though it was
passing along a street in New York city
and the people had turned out to see
him. In Washington, Fred had a seat
near the stand where the admiral was
presented with the sword voted him by
congress. While the admiral was deep
ly affected, he could not keep his eyes
off the sword and every few moments
he would open the case and take a
glance at it. An interesting incident at
this juncture was the calling Of an
amateur photographer who was located
in a tree near the scene: "Stand up and
take out sword, Admiral, so 1 can take
your picture" And Dewey took the
sword out of it's case and stood up, while
the amateur photographer took a shot
at him from the tree.

hundred members of the National Chris
tlan Endeavor association who stopped
off at the park on their way home from

Seeing the President.
From Saturdays Daily.]

The local delegation that went to
Fargo to see the President returned on
the noon train today-they say him.
The presidential special was two hours
late in reaching Fargo, arriving there
not pulling into the station until half
past seven. For this reason the drive
and parade were given up and the party
taker direct to the Waldorf, whence the
addresses were made. President Nc
Klnley, Secretary Gage, Secretary Long
Attorney General Griggs and Secretary
Wilson spoke. There was an immense
crowd of people who listened, and the
presidents speech was warmly applaud
ed. He had no hesitancy in endorsing
the expansion of the nation and assured
the volunteers who we're present that as
they had left the flag flying in the
Philippines, all the men necessary would
be sent to keep it there. President Nc
kinley expressed a desire to meet the
veterans of the G. A. r. and of the
Philippine campaign before lunch and
these soldiers filed in and were greeted
by the president, although the crowd
was 50 great that some were disappoint-
ed. After dinner was served, the crowds
were so dense, and it was so nearly i'm
possible to see the president that many
of the crowd dispersed. It was a big
day for Fargo in the number of guests
who were present, but the arrangements
for the reception and the handling of
the crowds might have been improved.
Decorations were not numerous-the
rain interfered.
