Result of the Explosion OF Oil at
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Aug. 21.-Five persons
are known to have been killed by the
explosion of the big benzine tank at
the Atlantic Refining company's oil
works at Point Breeze at midnight.
The dead are: John McCullom, En-
CINE Company 40; James Falls, En-
CINE Company 40; John Daugherty,
Truck Company 9, and a fireman and
an employee of the refining company
too badly burned to be recognized.
When the explosion occurred the fire.
men of Engine Company 40 and the
employees of the Atlantic Refining COM
pany, in all about so men. were at
work in the pumpinghouse drawing off
oil from the burning tanks. The
flames shot high in the air and the
pumphouse was almost completely de-
molished. The firemen who had been
playing streams on the other tanks
then directed their attention to the
rescue of the men who had been i'm
plisoned in the pumpinghouse. 1t was
nearly an hour before the men could
be reached. Meanwhile streams of
water were pouring on the pumping
house. The firemen turned their at
tention to the rescue of those who
were in the ruins. Five bodies were
recovered and sent to the morgue but
only three of them could be identified.
Two bodies were roasted to a crisp
and so bfackened that it was impossi-
BILE to tell whether they were those of
white or colored men. None Of the II
injured men taken to the hospital is
seriously injured.
Since early morning the flames have

Work on Government Vessels at San
Francisco.
San Francisco, Aug. 20.-Work on
six vessels for the navy and one for
the army is being delayed because of
labor troubles in San Francisco. The
Union iron works has contracts for
six warships and two submarine tor
pedo boats. The most important of
these war vessels is the battleship
Ohio. She was launched few months
ago by President Mckinley and the
moment she took the water work
ceased on her. The machinists were
then on strike and few men have since
been employed on the battleship.
Moored close beside the Ohio is the
monitor Wyoming, which was launch
ed last September and is not yet COM
pleted. Fhe torpedo boat destroyers
Preble, Perry and Paul Jones also are
at the Union iron works. The trans

Only One Woman Saved.
OF all the women aboard the steam
er only one, the wife of Engineer Hay

at dinner in the cabin when the storm
struck. There was absolutely no
chance for those in the cabin to es-
cape. The usual rocking of steamer
capsized by the wind was not felt.
The boat simply turned over and sank
in II feet of water. Captain Bauer
and Pilot Peck jumped o1erboard and
reached the shore, where they Sc
cured assistance and rowed around
the wreck, picking up the few who had
been able to throw themselves over
board. OF those inside the cabin when
the steamer turned over only two, H.
C. Whorten and H. E. Hampben, got
out. They reached the deck and were
picked up by boats. Captain Bauer
expressed the opinion that the people
in the cabin were drowned instantly.
He heard no screams and declared
that what happened occurred so
quickly that it was mystery to him
any one escaped. AS all the papers

Berlin, Aug. 20.-The Vossische lei
tung, discussing the attitude of New
York newspapers regarding European
vessels going to the Caribbean sea,
points out that large United States
naval force has been sent there and
raises the question whether the
American imperialists" view the pres
ent situation as Offering welcome oc-
casion for extending the sphere and
power of the United States, or wheth-
er it is an honest attempt to restore
peace. The paper continues:
'If the Americans intend nothing
more than to protect the reasonable
interests of citizens of the United
States then they should rejoice at the
presence of the European vessels,
having the me object in view. Even
the cooperation of various powers
would be possible"

BIG SIXTEEN-INCH GUN.
In Nearly Finish ed and VIII Be Sent t.
the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo.

1t has been decided to send the big
16-inch gun, which has been under con-
struction at the Watervliet arsenal,
n. Y, and which is nearly completed,
to the Buffalo exposition. 1t is the
largest modern gun in the country,
and one of the largest ever built in the
world. There ought to be a good deal
of interest in this gun, which has cost
the government a great deal of money,
and which has represented several
years of hard toll and some unsuc-
cessful attempts to assemble the gun.
The gun has a radius of 21 miles.
Ordnance officers say it is an imprac-
ticable seacoast rifle, and that it can
not be used with any success in actual
service. 1t was intended when built
as type gun, and it was expected that
others of the same caliber would be
built, to form formidable battery
in the coast defenses of New York
city.
Since the gun has been under con-
struction, however, the ordnance au-
thorities have discovered that it is of
no more value than the 12-inch gun,
and that probably for purposes of de-
struction a shorter range rapid-fire
ordnance will be quite as effective as
the heavier gun.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES BEST
Their Superiority Ia to BE Proved ut
Meeting of British En-
gineers.

Some interesting figures anent
the relative merits of American and
English locomotives have been given
by NJ. r. Jefford, an American en-
gineer, who has just returned from
Russia, where he was engaged in con-
nection with the construction of new
railway. These figures will be given
in paper to be read before one of the
leading engineering institutions of
Great Britain in a few days.
Comparing the New York Central
with the London & Northwestern, Mr..
Jefford shows that where the freight
rate of the latter is 2h cents ton
for a mile, that of the former is only
0.56 cents, while the expenses relative
ly are 1.25 cents and 0.34 cents. Yet,
despite this disproportion in favor of
the English system, the result shows
that the English locomotive earned
only e4,12S, whereas the American
earned eS,361. Yet, according to
statements heard at a general meet
ing of English railway shareholders,
the experiment of importing American
locomotives is not likely to be contin-
ued, as they are far inferior to the
homemade article.
Mr.. Jefford's paper further shows
that while the New York Central has
reduced working expenses 73 per cent.
since 1870, the British railway is now
working at higher rate.

GERMAN PAYS FOR A KISS.
Little Girl Comes of Age and Forces
Him to Fulfill a 500 Con-
tract,

A German has just had to pay $1O0
for kiss under peculiar circumstan-
ces. He was sitting in a Paris cafe
with a friend in 1896 when the latter's
daughter came in. She was a pretty
little girl and the German asked for a
kiss. The girl refused.
The German said if she would give
him kiss he would pay her 500 francs
on the day of her majority. The little
girl accepted the contract, to which nu-
merous persons present were witness
es. and the momentous kiss took place.
Recently the girl came of age and de-
manded the fulfillment of the contract.
The German had cooled down since
and refused to pay. Litigation fol-
lowed, and finally the court of appeals
sentenced him to pay up, a mere kiss
not being an immoral contract, and
therefore liable to payment like any
other.
