Four Perish in Explosion.

In an explosion and fire at Hartford
City, Ind, four persons persisted and $780,
600 worth of property was wrecked. A
night policeman discovered fire in the rear
of the Dick building and fastened to in
vestigate. Just as he turned the corner
into the alley there was a terrific explo-
sion, which lifted the third floor of the
building several feet and dropped it down
on the second. Flames enveloped the
Dick, the Williams and the Mason build
ings. Four charred bodies were taken
from the ruins. It is supposed the ex-
plosion was caused by escaping gas.

FIGHT OVER THE BOUNDARY.
Battle Between French and Brazilian
Escorts Reported.

Escorts Reported.
Advices from Cheyenne, French Gui-
ana, say that the joint commission ap-
pointed to inquire into the boundary Ques-
ton between France and Brazil has just
been heard from ON the Counani river.
The news was more sensational than sat
isfactory, and for some reason the colo
NAL government was doing it's utmost to
suppress the facts. Both commissions
went out guarded by heavy escorts equal
ly matched. The Frenchmen had the gun
boat Jouffroy and fifty Senegalese sol
diers, and the Brazilians had the gunboat
Guarany and an equal number of troops.
A collision occurred between these two
forces in the interior. There were no de-
tails and it was not publicly known wheth-
err there had been any bloodshed. The
fact that the governor Immediately sent
re-enforcements of 200 troops to the front
without waiting to communicate with
Paris was thought to indicate that the
matter was serious.

Capital.

Extradition Agreement signed at the
Capital.
The extradition treaty negotiated be-
tween Mexico and the United States was
signed the other day at the City of Mex
leo by Foreign Minister Mariscal and Am
bassador Powell Clayton. The treaty,
which is predicated upon the proposition
made by Mexico in 1885, is to have a ret
roactive effect, so as to cover the cases
of fugitives from justice during the inter-
regnum between the old and the new
treaties. The convention broadens the
embezzlement clause to cover not merely
public moneys, but all defaleations or
thefts. Another clause provides for the
delivery of stolen goods on the demand Of
either government.

BULGARIA. AT PoNTA DELoADA.

Steame Given Up for Lost Arrives at
Port Under Her Own Steam.
The long overdue Hamburg American
liner Bulgaria arrived at Ponta del Gada,
Azores Friday morning. The Bulgaria
sailed from New York for Hamburg on
Jan. %. The ships company and passen-
gers numbered $780, There were no cabin
passengers.
On Feb. the British steamer Wee
hawken sighted the Bulgaria 800 miles
west Of the Azores in disabled condition.
The wind was blowing a hurricane. Thir-
teen of the crew and twelve passengers
Of the Bulgaria were taken aboard the
Weehawken and landed at Ponta del
Gada on Feb. IA. Four members of the
crew who were not able to reach the Wee
hawken were picked up by the British
steamer Vittoria and landed at Baltimore
Wednesday.
A mighty cheer went up in Lloyd's room
in London when it was announced that
the steamer Bulgaria had arrived safely
at Ponta del Gada, as nobody expected
to ever hear of her again. The Bulgaria
lay to for eleven days effecting repairs.

THE NJ. r. & K. SALE
MAY PLACE FIGHT BETWEEN CITY
AND CO. ON DIFFERENT BASIS.
Mr.. sLUsH REFUSES TO TALK
He Says That He Knows Nothing as to the
Plans of the New owners of the Road But
They Will Probably seek to Discover
Legal Status of Kenosha Franchise.

The sale of the Milwaukee, Racine
& Kenosha Electric Railway to the
Milwaukee Electric Light and Street
Railway company, as reported exclu-
sively in this paper last evening, to-
gether with the new conditions which
the sale will bring into the franchise
fight now on between the city and the
incoming company, has been the
principal topic of conversation in
official circles today. The transfer OF
the road, with the supposed franchise
rights through the city will place the
fight between the city and the company
on entirely different grounds and it is
doubtful if the position Of the city has
in any way been bettered by the trans
fer. On the other hand the company
from this time on will have decided
advantage, as the parties now owning
the franchise will come into court as a
third and innocent person to the trans
action.
Mr.. Slush, the former President of
the road, was in the city shortly after
the deed was recorded yesterday, but
refused to say anything about the deal
more than was shown by the papers as
filed. He however stated that all the
personal property, including the con-
tested Kenosha franchise, has been
transferred to the Milwaukee company.
He said that it was advisable that the
legal value of the ordinance granting
the company franchise be determined
both for the good of the company and
for the good of the city. Mr.. Slush
said he knew nothing of the plans of
the new owners of the road.
1t is known that Mathew Slush and
Vice President Bishop, VITO engineered
all of the deals for the Milwaukee
crowd, have large block of stock IN
the electric system, but just how much
is not known.
The Milwaukee people have promised
to expend $75, 900 in repairs this year
and it remains to be seen whether they
do it or not.
Mr.. Beggs, of the Milwaukee com
pany, also said in regard to the stand
ing of the road: There are $3.50, 900
bonds of the property outstanding, the
interest on which will be about $25, 900
in two years. The capital stock is
5000, 900, 100000 of which is preferred
and 100000 common stock, and this
will bring into the treasury about
$50, 900 in the two years, so that they
will have at least $4,000 for the i'm
provements agreed to-"
There is no doubt but that the new
company intend to run and operate the
lines for all there is in it.
