ST. PAUL TEA EXPERT.

Collector of Customs win BE Asked
to Recommend a Temporary Man.
WASHINGTON, April 25-Assistant
Secretary Spaiding has decided to ask
the collector of customs at st. Paul.
Mimi, to recommend tea expert, who
may be temporarily appointed as examin-
er for that section. This action is made
necessary from the fact that the civil
service has no eligible list from which
to make a selection. AS soon as the list
is furnished a permanent appointment
will be made.

Terrible That Buildings ON
Either Side Were Demolished.
PHILADELPHIA, April 25-By the ex-
plosion of seventy-fve gallons of benzol
In the laboratory Of Frank H. Fleer &
Co., manufacturers of chewing gum at
no. 2343 and 2345 Callow Hill street, to-
day, two men were killed, three seriously
injured and over score of others were
more or less injured by flying debris
The dead are: Walter Manwaring, as
sistant superintendent. Charles McKin-
ley.
OF those injured Harry Randall, an en-
plcye and Mrs Givison and her one-year-
old child are the most seriously hurt, but
they will recover.
EXPLOSION TERRIFIC.
The explosion was a terrific one, and
for a time caused the widest excitement
Not less than 100 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 a mixture
for the making Of vanilline. The doors
to the room in which they were working
were closed, but the fumes from the ben
zol in some manner reached the furnace
in the next room and the explosion fol-
lowed. Walter Manwaring was instantly
killed. and Charles Mckinley was so
badly injured that he died several hours
after In a hospital.
Randalls case was a remarkable one
He was blown through the roof and
landed on an adjoining building. At first
1t was thought he was dead, but after
treatment in the hospital he regained
consciousness. Although badly hurt he
will recover. George Conover, the fourth
employe in the room escaped with a few
bruises.
CAUGHT AS SHE RAN.
AS Mrs. Givison, with her child in her
arms, was hurriedly leaving her home,
which was directly opposite the labora-
tory, her dress caught fire from flying
ember and she and the child were badly
burned. Their recovery is very doubtful.
The explosion was SO terrible that the
buildings adjoining on each side Of the
laboratory were completely demolished.
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 destruction in number Of
places, but the flames were quickly ex-
tinguished before they did any consider
able damage.
The score of persons injured were all
tenants Of the many dwellings and were
in no way connected with the laboratory.
Some were severely cut by glass; while
many Of them were struck by flying de-
bris.
The money loss is estimated to be con-
siderably over 100000.

distance cycling record for women. She

most dangerous rival. She has now beat
Miss Yatman's record by two hours and
forty-three minutes in the seven century

fog ard rain, over triangular course
in Long Island and under handicap
that seemed almost insurmountable.

the seventh century record established by
Miss Jane Yatman.of New York, over the
same course in September. At nine
o'clock Monday night she had ridden SIS

A Lively Scrap.

About nine o'clock Tuesday morning a
crowd collected in front of The
Herald Office and was afforded a
spectacle rarely seen. An immense rat
was placed in the den with the large black
snake, which has been on exhibition in
the window, and an exciting battle was
fought between the rat and the serpent.
The battle was exciting in the extreme.
The cage was placed on the pavement in
front of the office and ell crowded around
to see. As soon as the rat was placed in
the den 1t began running around over the
body of his snakeship. The snakes blood
was soon up and the battle began. The
snake got its coils about the rat, but the
rat bit him in the mouth and he looscned
his grasp. This ended the first round.
After few minutes time the battle was
on again. The second round began with
the rat biting at the reptile body. With
the hood dripping from his mouth the
snake made frequent strikes at the rat.
At last he got hold of the side of the rat
and then quickly wound himself about his
antagonist. Slowly he frightened his grasp
and crushed out the life Of the rat.

show in itself. 1t was rare sight, the

died in few seconds; but the snake held
on for hours afterwards and made sure Of
his game. The rat was about as large a
one as has ever been caught and proved to
be a worthy combatant for his snakeship
The snake was fair victor and murmers
of approval could BE- heard on every side

u. S. Court.

In the United States Court the first
thing before the Court was the trial
of Peter Turner, of Kingwood, for selling
liquor without license. There were
only three witnesses. who testified in be-
half of the United States. After the case
was handed over to the jury they returned
in few minutes with verdict of guilty
and he was sentenced to forty-five days
in jail and SIoo fine.
After this case, which occupied about
thirty minutes time, the case of Shepherd S
administrators VS. the Receivers OF the B.
& o. Railroad was taken up and the ex-
animation of the witnesses began. The
case occupied sometime. 1t is the same
case that was tried here at the last term
and in which the Jury disagreed.
