The enrolment for the Brooklyn primary
elections in Brooklyn was brought to a close
yesterday. The result shows more activity on
the part OF the Republicans. OF whom about
5000 were enrolled. while there were less than
1000 Democrats. The exciting factlonal fight
IN the Republican organization was doubtless
the cause Of the large party enrolment which
is especially marked in the districts where the
hostiliti are most pronounced.

Woman Used a Pistol.

New York, April 25.-Iohn Rooney,
so years of age, was shot and killed last
night in Bedford, Westchester county,
Rooney was employed by the Loring
family, of Bedford. He had been on a
spree for two or three days and was
almost delirious when he returned to
the Loring farmhouse last night. The
farm is about four miles from Bedford
Station. Mrs. Bedford and her children
were alone in the house at the time.
Rooney began to stone the dwelling,
and in the darkness, Mrs. Loring, it
is said, did not recognize him. Be-
lieving that he was a stranger, and
fearing that he meant to harm her and
her children, it is alleged Mrs. Loring
secured her revolver and shot Rooney
as he stood in the yard. The bullet
pierced his left lung, and is supposed
to have penetrated his heart. He
was found close to a barbed wire fence.

Ruin Wrought By BenzoI

Philadelphia, Pa, 25.-By the ex-
plosion of seventy-fve gallons of ben
zol in the laboratory of Frank H.
Fleer and Company, manufacturers of
chewing gum at Nos 2,343 and 2,344
Callowhill street today, two men we're
killed three persons seriously injured
and over a score of others more or
less hurt by flying debris.
The dead.
Walter Mainwaring, assistant super
intendent.
Charles M'Kinley, engineer.
Of those injured Harry Randall, an
employe, and Mrs. Givison and her l.
year-old child are the most seriously
hurt. but he will recover.
The explosion was terrific one,
and for time caused the widest ex
citement. No less than one hundred
buildings in the vicinity, most of
them very small dwellings, were
damaged.
The laboratory building was a two
story structure. At the time of the
explosion there were only four men
working in the building who were
preparing mixture for the making
of vanilline. The doors to the room
in which they were working were
closed, but the. flames from the ben
zol, in some manner reached the
furnace in the next room and the ex-
plosion followed.
Randall's escape was remarkable,
He was blown through the roof and
landed on an adjoining building. At
first it was was thought he was dead,
but after treatment in the hospital he
regained consciousness. Although
badly hurt he will recover.
AS Mrs. Givison with her child on
her arms, was hurriedly leaving her
home, which was directly opposite
the laboratory, her dress caught fire
from flying ember and she and the
child we're badly burned. Their re-
covery is doubtful.
The explosion was so terrific that
the buildings adjoining each side of
laboratory were completely demolish-
ed. On both sides of the street for a
whole square the explosion wrought
destruction. Windows were broken,
fixtures were smashed, and walls were
cracked. Fire added to the destruc-
ton in number of places, but the
flames were quickly extinguished be-
fore they did any considerabl
damage.
The money loss is estimated to be
considerably over 100000

to death last night while a large crowd
of men stood helpless to rescue her
from her burning home. The woman
was alone, and started to save as much
of her property as possible. She had
carried out everything of value except
trunk, in which there was consider
able money. She expressed her deter
mination TO save the treasure, and in
sisted on rushing into the house. She
was caught and dragged back twice,
but the third time she broke away and
dashed for the burning building. A
moment later she was seen at the up
per window with her clothes and hair
afire, trying to raise the trunk to the
sill to pitch 1t out. After several vain
efforts she sank back. Her charred re.

His Body Found.

Charleston, S. c., April 26.-On
the night of March 30th, Private
Frank Cough, of the Second Rhode
Island regiment, who had been mus
tered out at Columbia was on his way
home and stepped or fell from the
Atlantic Coast Line train at Pee Dee
station in Florence county. Nothing
was heard of him, and after four days
the Coast Line authorities had the
swamp and river near the station
searched and dragged for week with
out avail. The mystery was unrav-
elled on Sunday, when an old negro
who was coming up Pee Dee river in
a boat two miles from the railroad
bridge found the body of Cough in
some tree limbs where it had foated
and lodged. The body was identi-
fled, though in a horrible state of
decomposition and has been prepared
for burial and shipped to the volun-
teer's home in Rhode Island.

Philippines For the Negro

Washington, April 25 "A proposition
to utilize negro troops to large extent
in future military operations in the
Philippines is attracting much atten-
ton and it is believed will be consider
ed by the administration in the near
future. Such policy is urged on the
theory that certain racial affiliations
may be utilized in way to defeat
rebelious acts on the part of Aguinal-
do and his party and to bring peace
to the newly acquired possessions of
the United States in the east. One
third of the population of the Philip
pines are negroes of the same race as
those in the United States, and while
not numerous about Manila, comprise
nearly the entire population of some of
the islands. The advocates of the
scheme believe that in a short time
there would be assimilation between
the negroes of the Philippines and
their kindred from the United States
and there would follow for the colored
people opportunities to get homes and
possibilities of careers they could not
hope for in this country.

Forgery of a Public Law.

A sensation develops here in the trial
of the Abbott. .Beddingfleld case, in
volving title to corporation commits
sionershir. This is due to the discov-
cry that the act abolishing the railway
commission has been altered from
March "a" to '6'' as to the date of
ratification, the figure "6' being writ
ten over the figure "4' in bold hand.
1t was the purpose that the act be
ratified March 4th, 80 as to give space
of time between it and the act creating
the corporation commission The en-
rolling clerks book shows the act was
listed March 4th as ratified that day.
The journals of the senate and the
house show it was ratified that day.
Speaker Connor is here and says he
would not have signed the act with any
such alteration showing. Chief Clerk
DAniels. of the senate, says the figure
IS" is written over and that there is
forgery. Clerk Hackett, of the house,
says that there is some foul play and
also says he finds on the house records
book this act rubberstamped as ratified
March 4th and below this rubber stamp,
a mark sloped and hastily made saying
it was ratified March 9th. 1t can be
readily seen what important bearing
this has on Dr. Abbott's case.

retire from the service through the
regular channel, and it is thought in
view of this fact and further that he
rendered distinguished services at the
naval engagement at Manila, the au-
thorities will show him as much con-
sideration as is consistent with naval
discipline. According to arrangements
made some days ago for the Presidents
visit to Philadelphia he will 60 aboard

special compliment to Captain Cogh-
Ian. Whether under the circumstances,
this part of the programme will be
changed cannot now be stated.

three-year trees are giviL down
about as much turpentine a. if there
