mite in the home Of William Broehm at

Mr.. AND MRS. WILLIAM BRoEHM.
THREE CHILDREN OF Mr.. AND MRS.
BRoEHM, aged from to years.
II. STEVENS, a brother of Mrs. Broehm.
The. cause of the explosion is not
known. The supposition is that about
IL pounds of the deadly explosive was
put in stove and became overheated
and exploded. No one was left to tell
how the accident occurred, as every oc-
cupant of the house was killed. The
explosion occurred in the back part of
the house, wnere the family were sup
posedly eating breakfast. This part Of
the dwelling was scattered all over the
ground many yards distant and the
main part of the house was badly
wrecked. So great was the force of the
explosion that parts of banister was
blown through three walls. The re-
mains Of the unfortunate victims were
literally blown to pieces and beyond all
semblance Of recognition. Broehm was
a well driller and was well-to-do. An
inquest was held last night.

DEs MONIES, June 1.-The Granger
divorce suit is at an end. Without
hearing the arguments, Judge Bishop
yesterday refused to grant II. 7.
Granger divorce on the ground that
he was entirely to blame in the domes-

were in error, but says that if Granger
had not lost his love and affection fol
his wife prior to that time the later
troubles would not have followed. The
Changers are very prominent and the
suit has been sensation.

Sons of Veterans at Louisville Objact TO
Stars and Stripes.
LOUISVILLE, June by vote Of
101 to 68 the Sons Of Confederate Vet
erans yesterday refused to lay on the
table motion offered by w. H. Nc
Laws, division commander of Georgia,
that only the confederate flag be carried
at the head of the Sons of Veterans.
A number of delegates made speeches
and it became apparent that an unex-
pected issue had come before the dele
gates. Several delegates strongly urged
that the Sons of Veterans carry both
the United States and confederate flags
in the parade. The part the south
played in the Spanish. h.American war
and President McKinley's recent action
in wearing a confederate button and
suggesting that the United States gov
ernment treat the confederate just as it
treats the Union soldiers were urged as
reasons why the United States flag
should be carried by the Sons of Vet
Grams. After number Of speeches had
been heard there were rejoinders. The
discussion was growing wider and more
interesting when it was cut off by the
motion to table Mr.. McLaw's motion.
All the speakers said no veteran S son
was today disloyal to the United States
flag, but they regarded the confederate
flag as the emblem of their organization
and Thoughts it should lead their parade
for that reason. AS the discussion had
prolonged considerably the session ad-
| journment was taken until today, when
the question is expected to come up for
final action.

Since this telegram left on Wednes-

Lourenzo Marquee by telegraph from
Pretoria. Possibly the wires have been
cut Possibly the Boer censorship at
some intermediate point intercepts tele-
grams.
Although the war Office has not re-
ceived a word about it, no one in Lon

ital is not already in the hands of the
British or about to be there.

Cured just before the men were getting
ready to close up for the day. The
drilling had been completed ready for
the final shooting. The well was being
shot by the Humes Torpedo company,
which had lowered SO quarts of nitro
glycerine into the drilling. When the
''go-devil'' was sent down it did not go
off as expected and then what is known
as a '.jack squib," composed Of heavy
iron and dynamite with protected
fuse, was dropped into the well. 1t was
expected that when they came together
there would be the usual blast that
would shoot the we'll, but 1t seems the
''jack squib" exploded first and the
crowd rushed to see the shooting of the
gusher and when they reached the der
rick the first charge put down went off
with terrific force, wrecking everything
and blowing the men in every direction.
| The remains of those killed had to be
picked up in pieces. All the victims
are residents Of this county, wen-to.do

Chicago, Oct. 22.-While his wife
worked at her sewing machine, singing
with a light heart in anticipation of
the return of the children from school,
John Pfeiffer committed suicide by
hanging himself from a hook in the
door casing. So quietly did he go about
his work of selfdestruction that, al
though in the same room, his wife
knew nothing of his intentions until
he was dead several minutes.
Mrs. Pfeiffer's first knowledge that a
tragedy had taken place came when
she arose from her work to begin pre-
pairing the evening meal. AS she
turned to go to the kitchen she saw
her husband hanging by the neck and
dead. Her screams of fright was heard
by the neigbbOrs, but before they
reached the house Mrs. Pfeiffer had
cut the rope, and was making vain at
tempts to revive her husband. Pfeiffer
lived at 5S4 Larrabee street and was a
cigarmaker. He had been out of en-
ployment for some time and was de-
