TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Dynamite Lets GO-TwO Hundred
People More or Less Hurt.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. S.-A special
from Eveleth, Mimi, Sunday night
reports one of the largest explosions
ever curring in the state. Seven
thousand five hundred pounds of dy-
Mantle in the powder magazine at
the Spruce mine, about half n mile
from town, blew up about $3.50 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. A hole 100 feet
square and 25 feet deep marks the
spot where the magazine stood. The
force of the explosion was so great
that there is not piece of glass over
foot square within a radius of two
miles of the mine. Practically every
window and mirror in Eveleth was
broken, while in saloons bottled
goods were demolished in addition.
The loss in the city is estimated at
$4,000. The damage done to the
Spruce mine was about $4,000, the
mine laboratory and warehouse be-
ing totally wrecked.
At least 200 people were hurt more
or less from being thrown down by
the shock or hit by shattered glass.
The explosion was painfully felt at
Biwabik, - miles distant. The cause
of the explosion is hard to ascertain.
An unknown man was seen near the
magazine few minutes before it oc-
Cured, and it is believed that he was
responsible, although that is pure
guesswork. At any rate, the fellow
has not been seen since. The only
explosion equaling this occurred at
Virginia, Mimi, in 1884, when the
Lake Superior Powder Co.'s magazine
exploded, destroying everything
within two miles.

Tampico, Mex, Oct. S.-The Panuco

great damage has been wrought by
the floods in the populated and cult

At one point near Chila Station, on

though without decisive results. 1t
is obvious, however, that the maneu-
vers of the Filipinos are more slillful
than formerly and that the field tao
tics of the Americans are being fol-
lowed by them.
Senior Matini, the virtual founder
of the so-called Filipino government,
who was captured by the Americans
last December and lodged in Jail in
Manila, has been liberated. As he
had always persistently refused to
take the oath of allegiance to the
United States government, he had
maintained his reputation among the
FiliPinos as a resolute patriot. They
now believe that he has reached 4
private understanding with the
American authorities which has Sc
cured his release, and consequently
he has lost some of his popularity,
although he is still considered the
leader of the dormant revolutionary
element.
This week the commission will be-
gin the work of revising the tariff,
making use of the results of the in
vestigaliOn of the army hoard in this
direction. 1t is the Intention of the

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
New York Woman Became Insane
and Murders Her Children.
The Mother Then Committed Sui-
eide BY MISUNDERSTANDING over
the Prospects of Death I'm
settled Her Mind.

New YORK, Oct. 6.-Mrs. Lillian
hattan, while insane Friday, shot her
two children, Ethel, aged II years,
and Theodore, aged years, and then
committed suicide by shooting her
self. Another child lies in Fordham
hospital at the point of death as the
result of carbolic acid burns. Be-
fore shooting the children Mrs. Smith
tried to force them to drink carbolic
acid. Long brooding over the pros
pect of death is said to nave been the
cause of the womans insanity. She
had for some time been in bad
health.
Mrs. Smith was the wife of Walter
NJ. Smith, who has been connected
with the grocery house of Austin,
Nichols G. Co. for 81 years.
Mrs. Smith drove her husband to
the station Friday morning and APP
peared happy and care free. She
promised to meet him on his return
from the city at night. 1t is believed
that she went out i'll the morning
from the drive to the train with her
husband and bought the pistol.
Mabel, three years old, was killed
first in the front room on the second
floor of the house. The mother had
induced the baby to drink carbolic
acid. Then the mother got the re-
volver and fired three shots and the
chest of the little girl was literally
torn to pieces. 1t was about this
time that Ethel, the eldest daughter,
returned from school. She, too, tast-
ed the carbolic acid but rejected it.
Again the pistol came into play. The
mother shot twice at Ethel but only
one took effect. Only few moments
after the little boy returned from
school entering the kitchen through
the back door. The mother met him
at the door and shot him, killing him
instantly. After satisfying herself
that the boy was dead Mrs. Smith re-
turned up stairs.
Walking into the hall she shot her.

Biwabik, Mimi, Oct. s.-The tor
nado which ragged in this vicinity on
Saturday evening was the most vio-
lent ever experienced hereabouts.
The storm cut a pathway $50 feet in
width through the northwestern cor
ner of this town, completely wreck
ing the buildings struck. The shaft
houses and buildings of the three
mines which stood in the path of the
storm were reduced to kindling wood.

~ direction after leaving here, and
struck a little Finnish settlement
near Pike lake, where a number of
buildings were wrecked, in one of
which an entire family, consisting of
husband, wife and four children, were
instantly killed. So far their names
have not been obtained. 1t is be-
lieved that when the more remote
districts are heard from further cas-
ualties may be reported.

family lived was completely wrecked,
and the body of Mrs. Marowitz was
found fully 400 feet away, crushed
and bruised and her clothing COM
pletely stripped off. The body of her
husband was found in the debris of
their home, horribly mutilated.
VIM. Hilstrom was struck on the
head by falling tree and his skull
crushed. He afterward died at the
hospital.
The engine house of the Duluth,
Missabe d Northern railroad was
completely wrecked, and a number of
locomotives and cars were shifted
from the tracks and pounded into
scrap iron. The engine on which
Murray and Anderson were when the
storm broke was blown from the
track, and the men were pinned be-
meath it and horribly burned. by the
escaping steam. Other men at work
near them had narrow escapes.
Several cars blown from the D., NJ
&, n. tracks were found in the Duluth
mine pit, hundreds of feet away.
Many of the buildings destroyed
were owned by the mining compa-
MES and occupied by their employees,
The duration of the storm was less
than five minutes, but it was preced-
cd by an unusually severe thunder
and rain storm, and the heavy rain
has flooded many of the open pit
mines and they will be unable to OPP
crate for some time.
