LAST RESTING PLACE.



Springfield, H., April 26.-Unos-
tentatiously and without ceremony,
the remains of Abraham Lincoln and
the other members of his family,
which, since March 10, 1900, when
the work of rebuilding the Lincoln
monument commenced, have been re-
posing in q temporary stone vault
near the monument, were this after
noon replaced in the crypt in the
monument which has been rebuilt by
the state of Illinois, at . cost Of
$1O0, 900. The ceremony of returning
the remains to the monument were
witnessed by Governor Yates and
ether state officials, the members of
the Lincoln Monument Association,
the surviving members of the Lincoln
Guard of Honor, Judge Humphrey,
of the United States district court,
and other federal officers and city off,
cials and citizens who had been ad-
vised of the intended removal. No
public announcement of the arrange
ments for the ceremony had been
made. The temporary vault was 80
thoroughly cemented that it was 5
O'Clock when the work of removal
commenced, when the remains of the
president, which were the last to be
removed, were finally placed in the
marble sarcophagus in the crypt in
the monument, where they were
sealed up and where they will prob
ably remain through all time.

swINDLED BY EMPLOYEES.
Washington Street Car Men Have Been
Arrested for Fraud.

Washington, April 27.-System-
attic frauds practised on the lines OF
the Washington Traction & Electric
Company to an extent of probably
$50, coo, have been discovered, and
eight OF the employees, six of whom
are conductors and two firemen, are
under arrest on charge of conspiracy.
The operations, it is claimed, have
been going on for several months.
The punched tickets turned in by the
conductors are checked up at the
Office. The investigation that has
been held, it is stated, disclosed that
many of the tickets, instead of being
destroyed, were saved and sold to con-
ductors at 81 per 100, and that the
conductors who bought them substi-
tuted them for good tickets. This
was done by turning in the old tickets
by the company at the close OF each
day, the same number OF good tickets
being retained in the picket OF those
who were in the conspiracy. 1t is
also alleged that in many cases the
number of fares rung up and the
number of passengers on trips have
shown wide divergence.

Uvada, Utah, April 20.-The first
clash bewteen the Oregon Short Line
and Senator Clark's forces for posses
sion of the disputed Utah 4 California
grade occurred today when - wagons
loaded with ties were driven up to
the right Of way by order Of Superin-
tendent Young. The first team was
promptly stopped by the Clark forces.
Sheriff johnson then demanded that
the teams be allowed to pass over the
public road, but the Clark force again
refused to allow the teamsters to pro-
ceed. The tesmsters then attempted
to force their horses through, but the
Clark men, heavily reinforced and
armed with shovels and pick handles,
rushed to the horses heads and stopped
them. For two hours the argument
was kept up, several Of the teamster
in the meantime succeeding in break.
ing through and getting their wagons
upon the right of way.
Finally the Clark forces asked for
an armistice and an agreement was
reached by which the wagons are not
to be unloaded and the Clark forces
are to retire to their second line oi
defense at the barbed wire trocha,
two miles down the grade, pending .
determination in court of the respec-
tive rights of the claimants. This
action, it is believed, removes the
danger of further clash between the
rival forces.

HEAD WAS SEVERED.
'Black Jack" Ketchum. Noted Desperado
Hanged. Rope Jerked Head from Body.

Clayton, N. NJ, April 27.-Thomas
E. Ketchum, alias "Black Jack" the
train robber, was hanged at l :2l p.
M. yesterday. The rope broke but
his head was jerked of.
The execution took place in side
stockade built for the occasion.
The inciosure was crowded, $50 spec
tators having been admitted.
When Ketchum mounted the plat
form at 1:17 his face was very pale,
but his eye swept out over the crowd
very coldly and boldly, as if he had
no fear. A priest stood at his side,
as the rope was put around his neck.
The condemned man had consented
to this at the last moment.
Ketchum declined to make q speech
before the moose was put around his
neck. He merely muttered Good
by, /" then said, please dig my grave
very Deep" and finally, "all right,
hurry up" His legs trembled, but
he kept his nerve.
When the body dropped through
the trap the half inch rope severed
the head as cleanly as if knife had
cut it. The body pitched forward
with blood squirting from the headless
trunk. The head remained with the
black cap and few down into the pit.

WON BY AMERIC ANS.


New York, April 29.-An American
concern has secured the contract for
locomotives recently ordered by the
Calcutta port commissioners, despite
active European competition.
The Indian authorities invited bids
in the open market for nine locomo-
tives. The lowest British bid was
that OF Nelson, Reid & Company,
GLASGOW. Their price was 81, ,549,
against the Pittsburg Locomotive
Company's bid Of 81, 378 for each
engine. The Pittsburg company also
offered quick delivery, undertaking
to fulfill its contract inside OF six
months, while the shortest time given
by British builders was nine months.
The Calcutta officials accepted the
tender of the American company.
This is the first contract for loco
motives Americans have secured
abroad through lower prices. Pre-
vious contracts have come to this
country because of prompt delivery.

One OF the most destructive ernlo...
IONS on record occurred this evening
~ cne eiectro-chemical works. near
1reishelm, where smokeless powder
Is manufactured. Most Of the bo;l-
ers exploded. The noise was so tre-
mendous that it was heard at great
distances, including Frankfort and
Mayence. The factory became 4
mass OF flames immediately. and :
northeast wind carried the sparks 70
neighboring villages, where several
houses were set on fire. Eighteen
cylinders, each containing ahont q
hundred weight of smokeless powder
were In the room where the explosion
occurred.
The troops were immediately or
dered to Greisheim to prevent the FIRE
spreading to the large benxine reser-
voirs near by. Fire brigades from
every place in the neighborhood hur.
ried to the scene, but, owing to the
dangerous nature of the fire and the
fears of q renewal of the explosions.
the greatest difficulty was experienced
in stopping the progress of the flames.
Only after five hours of strenuous ef.
fort was the conflagration to some ex.
tent controlled and the danger passed
so as to make it possible to begin the
work of extracting bodies. It il
feared that nearly 200 persons have
been killed or injured.
Hospitals have been improvised in
the vicinity. The flames spread with
frightful speed to the adjacent build.

plosion took. place the fumes and
gases of burning chemicals made il
impossible to stay in the viciEity.
The last explosion occurred at &c
P. M, and when it was ascertained
that no further danger was antici.
pated, the inhabitants were allowed tc
return to their homes. At 8 80 the
fire was still burning in the center
and the work of extracting the bodies
from the debris was being carried on
by torchlight, gaslight not being OBJ.
tainable. All railway traffic with
Frankfort was stopped during the fire,
except for trains carrying the injured,
but it has since been resumed. -Four
sheds for dressing wounds of the in.
jured have been erected.
The catastrophe, tbs now stated,
originated in small fire, which ig.
nited several receptacles of piric acid,
causing a terrific explosion. The
houses adjoining the factory were par

MEXICAN MINISTERS.
Diplomatic Relations Resumed With Austsis
and American Republics.


Washington, April 30.-A complete
reapproachment between the govern
ments of Austria and Mexico has been
brought about, and as a result each
country is about to send minister to
the other. This terminates an inter-
national estrangement dating back to
the days when young Maximillian Of
Austria sought to gain foothold in
Mexico, and lost his life in the ad-
venture. A-bill has passed the Mexi-
can congress providing for minister
to Austria at q salary of $15, 600 an
nually. Austria will take similar ac-
tion by sending minister to Mexico,
and this will close the long and his
toric separation.
The Mexican government has also
taken steps to resume. diplomatic
communication with South American
countries, the first move in that di-
rection being the appointment of a
Mexican minister to the Argentine
republic. For many years there has
been no diplomatic intercourse be-
tween Mexico and her sister republics
on the southern continent, as there
was little commerce between them,
and few political questions requiring
diplomatic representations. Recent
", however, Argentina has made a
friendly move by accrediting a min
ister both to Washington and Mexico
City, and Uruguay has taken similar
action. The selection of Mexico City
as the place for holding the congress
of American republics has had fur
ther influence in inducing Mexico to
extend her relations with South and
Central America.

AN INSANE IMPULSE.
Bloody werk ef Telephone Electrician 4
Portland, Maine.


Portland. Maine.
Portland, Me-, April 26.-A bloody
tragedy occurred this afternoon on
the fourth floor OF the building occu-
pied by the New England Telephone
Company. George HI. Brainard, 3
foreman electrician who has been
employed by the company almost 20
years, while chatting with his fellow
workmen, whipped out q IS caliber
revolver and opened fire ON the party
around him. He was evidently an
expert marksman, for in . brief space
of time he killed one man outright,
fatally wounded another man and
probably fatally wounded two others.
Then he made an attempt to kill 3
deputy marshal when that officer
tried to place him under arrest.
The only motive that can be as
signed for the crime is insanity, yet
neither before. nor after the tragedy
did Brainard exhibit any marked evil
defce of mental arrangement. The
men in the tragedy were employees of
the telephone company. There we're
IA men in the crew and Brainard had
charge of the wOrkmen.

ALASKA TELEGRAPH LINE.
10 WIN Probably Bs Two vears Bsfsss Il +
h Good Wstkias Order.

3 Warrington, April Severe it not
for the great difficulties Of transport
alton in Alaska, the government mill
itary telegraph line from valdes to
the Yukon river and down to st.
Michaels would probably be in work.
ing order by the close of the coming
summer, but under conditions as they
exist it will probably be two years be-
fore this line in its entirety will be
working satisfactorily. Work was
not begun in earnest until late in
the season of 1900, when by dextrous
labor the men of the signal corps,
under Major Green, took hold and made
phenomenal progress with the line.
It is beyond a possibility, however,
for them to keep up this pace this
summer, owing largely to the diff
culties encountered in getting their
lines, fixtures and supplies to interior
points from which they are working.
Active operations in laying the line
could not be commenced before late
in March or the first of April, and
up to this time no advices on this
subject have yet been receievd in
Washington. 40
1t is hoped that by the close of this
summer season Fort Gibbon will be
connected with St. Michael, and this
will bring the latter point and Skag-
way within Is days Of. each other,
whereas they have been heretofore two
months apart, and oftentimes nearer
three months. This will be tremen-
dous saving in time, and an unques-
toned advantage to the military and
other government officials.
The question of how the line shall
be constructed along the great bend
of the Yukon has not yet been de-
terimned. This neck of land is be-
tween 80 and 40 miles wide. Should
the line follow the river it would be
much longer than an overland section,
and could not be reached in summer,
except by a large repair force,
which would make it expensive and
difficult of maintenance. During
the past winter an officer has been in
the field to see what can be done
across country between Fort Gibbon
and Fort Egbert. On his report the
department will act. The signal
corps is feeling its way cautiously,
so as not to make the same errors as
were ascribed to the Canadian author
tiles, who attempted to build tele-
graph line from the two ends without
making a survey of the route, and in
consequence, at the close of a season,
found that the two ends that were to
have connected had over Tapped each
other for some miles, one going on
one side of q mountain and the other
on the opposite side. And for weeks
neither party knew of the proximity
of the other.
