TWO MAGAZINES EXPLODE.
The Tremendous Hnvoc Wrought by
Nitroglyccrinc.

BOLIVAR, n. Y, Feb. 1.-Two storage
magazines located on the Stout farm. six
miles east Of Wellsville. containing 5000
pounds of nitroglycerine, exploded few
minutes after S O'Clock last night with a
report that was heard forty miles away
and thought TO be an earthquake. Both
magazines were built of hemlock and
they vanished in a cloud of dust and
smoke.
The larger magazine was owned by the
Rock Glycerine Company of Bradford, Pa.
and contained $50 quarts. The smaller be-
1onged to the Pennsylvania Torpedo Com
pany. of Bradford, and held 120 quarts OF
nitroglycerine. a house 1000 feet away
was badly wrecked. Where the big maga
zine stood there is hole In the earth five
feet deep and forty feet across. Not a
splinter of either magazine remains.
Rocks that weighed 500 pounds were car
ried 200 feet. A hole as clean as il made
by big bullet was bored through maple
tree that stood nearby, either by rock
or piece of gasppe.
George Burdick. an employe who looks
after the Rock Glycerine magazine visited
it early in the morning and found every
thing all right. The theory is that the
small magazine exploded first from some
unknown cause and the concussion set off
the big magazine. The explosion is
charged to defective heating of the small
magazine, as the magazines we're located
in an isolated locality and 10 one was
nearby. No one was hurt.

man Is Killed and Several Hurt.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4.-The greater part of
three blocks in the retail district of north
Broadway, extending eastward to the west
side of Third Street, was burned out this
morning causing a loss of over 81, 600 600.
A number of fremen were seriously in
jured. while others received bruises and
decorations which will lay them up for
weeks. The fire drew thousands of people
to the scene, who greatly hampered the
work of the department by constantly
breaking through the lines, until finally the
police were compelled to resort to the use
of their clubs.
The fire started in the retail drygoods
store of Penny & Gentie's, southwest cor
ner of Broadway and Fourth Street. Al
most instantly there was an explosion and
the mammoth five-story structure was a
mass of flames from basement to roof The
wind was blowing from the northwest, and
quickly carried the flames south to the
department store of Schaper Brothers. A
general alarm had been sounded, and the
entire fire department hurried to the scene.
II was soon seen that it was hopeless 10
attempt to extinguish the flamas in Penny
& Gentle's or Schaper Brothers. and their
attention was turned TO saving adjoining
property.
Across the street was building used as
a warehouse. The flames quickly leaped
across Broadway, carried by strong wind
which had changed until it blew nearly
east. South of this was tie notion house
of Derr Brothers, which was soon in
flames. At noon the roof of this building
fell in, burying beneath the ruins a num-
Der of firemen belonging to engine COM
pany No. II.
Sweeping eastward, the fire next caught
TO the German Savings Bank, southwest
corner of Fourth Street and Franklin Ave-
nue., and the building was soon In ruins.
The flames then attacked the Dressed Beef
Companys branch, to the south. This
building burned like tinder-box. On the
south to the Famous Blu lding. a mammoth
department store, but was checked at this
point. The damage to the Famous was b.
smoke and water, and is very large.
Charles Moebus. fireman, engine No. II,
was killed.
The following were among the injured:
Charles w. Duran, carried out of sick
bed in lodging house at AZ Lucas Ave
nue.. and taken to hospital; case serious
John Hammond. driver. engine No. %.
seriously injured; will die.
John A. Adams. fireman, not serious.
John Crapp. not serious.
John Judge, serious.
Mike Hanlon, fireman; not serious.
The fire was under control at 4: -, and
several of the engines were sent back to
their stations, only enough being retained
to prevent possible fresh confiagration
1t was reported that two bodies were in the
ruins, but this was denied.
At 10 p. m. the loss was conservatively
estimated at $500, 900; insurance. ST.

MAUD CONNIE ON THE WAR.
She Calls Upon the Irish to Rise Up
Against England.

NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-The pro-Boer
meeting tonight was largely attended. 1t
was distinctly an Irish meeting. presided
over by a Dutchman. as the chairman,
George W. Van Sicklen, called himself.
The chief attraction was Miss Maud Come.
Miss Come said:
zone of the greatest crimes the world
has ever known is being perpetrated.
Eng1and's history in South Africa is one
long record of hypocrisy. violence. deceit
all for lust of gold. With Irishmen it
makes no difference whether the nation
with which England is at war is right or
wrong When ii fights England it be-
comes Irelands ally. The English au
thorities dare not now let regiments raised
for South African service pass through
the streets of Dublin. The Beers have
destroyed forever England's boasted
greatness. Is that not an encoura cement
to all oppressed peoples? But there is
another lesson. IL is that liberty is never
won without the shedding Of blood. Ire
land may have her opportunity. Irishmen,
do not let the hour OF destiny 90 by. Fell
low-countrymen. has not ireland been the
land of sorrow long enough?
Former Judge George NJ Curtis echoed
Miss Comes call to arms.
Men of Ireland said he. ''let me tell
you that there is no possible emancipa-
ton of ireland save by the sword. And
any statesman -or politician in America
who breaches different doctrine is either
ignorant or insincere."

her on direct instructions from Whitehall.
There was not the smallest pretence OF
search, though it was cabled to London
that the vessel was released on account
OF there being insufficient evidence against
her. The lieutenant declared that he was
confident there was more contraband on
the Herzog than on any of the latest ar
rivals at Delagoa Bay. but the Herzog sue
ceeded in signaling a German warship in
Delagua Bay as she passed that place on
her way to Durham that she had been
seized, with the result that the warship
cabled to Germany. whereupon protest
was lodged in London before the prize
reached Durham.
