DEToNATED BY GASES.
Peculiar Cause of Premature ExpIo-
sion of shells.

An enquiry made by the Ordnance Blu
reau of the Navy Department into the
causes Of the premature explosions of
thirteen-inch shells in guns on the bat
tleships Kearsarge. Kentucky. and Ala
bama has resulted in a discovery OF an
interesting character
It has been ascertained through expert
ments that the explosives were detonateG
by gases quickly generated from the fuses
connecting the firing charges with the
proiectiles proper. These gases managed
to reach the explosives in the proiecties
before the projectiles left the guns and
ignited them inside. The gases escaped
into the projectile through the screw
threads with which the fuse was fas-
tened to the projectlle.
The defect will be remedied in all these
shells by putting caps on the fuses.

| brought here yesterday from New York
| City by a United States deputy marshal.

suspected by the police of other grave
wrongdoing including three marriages,
the prisoner will be arraigned for trial in

day afternoon at headquarters for the
rogues' gallery.
1t is now said by Detective Trumbo,
whose investigation resulted in the arrest
of Hamilton. that the latter admits hav-
ing married Miss Carter some months ago
In Baltimore. Nevertheless, Hamilton is
understood to claim that Mrs. Mary b.
Whitworth Hamilton, formerly Miss
Whitworth. is his lawful wife. She is
now in this city. living with her mother,
Mrs. Whitworth, on Ninth Street south
west. Mrs. Hamilton returned TO the city
Wednesday with Detective Trumbo, fol-
lowing the arrest of her husband.
Yesterda-, when Hamilton was taken
into court and formally turned over by
the United States Marshal TO the local
authorities, Mrs. Hamilton was present
ana subsequent 70 the proceedings SIt
had a brief interview with her husband.
She has indicated thus her desire, as be-
fore expressed, to stand by her husband
in his present trouble
According to the police. Hamilton now
claims that his first wife. as alleged, who
was once Miss May Simmons, of Hal

ton, he married Miss Carter formerly of
Baltimore, but now a resident of this
city. Miss Carter is living with her pa
rents at i3 Ninth Street northeast. The
third marriage which Hamilton seems to
have contracted was that to Miss Whit
worth, formerly a trained nurse, whom
the prisoner first met While engaged as
a salesman in this city, early last spring.

Henderson is the right man, but he

OLD TIME FORM.
Creedon Shows That He Is Still In 1t,
At Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, April 15.-Dan
Creedon, of Australia, showed his old
time form and stopped Jimmy Hand
Ter, of New Jersey, in less than half
a minutes fighting in the first round.
One of the largest crowds of the
season gathered and rendered Cree:
don an ovation, both before and after
he entered the ring. He was sched-
uleu for 20 rounds. There was prac-
tically but one blow struck, a left
hook to Handlers jaw, and the Jersey
man went down. He managed to re-
gain his feet, but was SO weak that
Creedon easily floored him again.
Handler was unable to rise and Ref
cree Hottum counted him out.
In the preliminary, which was for
ten rounds, Eddie Croake, of Iowa,
was given the decisien over Jack
Cusick, of Milwaukee. Cusick was
o%utclassed, and was so badly pun
ished that it was unsafe to allow the
fight to go on.

MILWAUKEE, NOT HEADED FOR
NORTHWEST.
AS EXPLAINED BY MILLER
Says His Company Has Nothing
to Fear From Hill
Combination.

Chicago, April 15.-Roswell Miller,
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad company, asserted today that
the negotiations looking to the pur-
chase of his company by James J.
Hill were off and would not be re-
newed, and that there was no doubt
that Hill had obtained control of the
Burlington. Asked about the st. Paul
deal, Miller said: There was a time
when it looked as though Hill and the
interests associated with him might
obtain the st. Paul road, but that
time is passed and negotiations will
not be renewed. While l am not Off
cially acquainted with the facts, there
is no doubt in my mind that Morgan
and Hill have acquired the Burling-
ton With the Burlington deal, Harri-
man, contrary to the general opinion,
has nothing to do. 1t is distinctively
a Morgan-Hill deal, and not a Harri-
man-Hill deal, and that is why Erie
figures SO prominently in it,
DO you apprehend any ill effects
for the st. Paul by reason of the ALI
ance?" was asked. Ill.,
Certainly not. What has the st.
Paul to fear from a combination of
the northern lines and the Burling-
ton? The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific bring business to st. Paul
and get a good deal from us. In my
judgment it would simply be idiotic
for the northern lines to make any
discrimination between their connec-
tions. AS a business proposition it
would be foolish, and Hill is too wise
to attempt any such nov In any
event, the St. Paul would be in a posi-
ton to protect it's interests and would
undoubtedly do so.
There is never anything in this
talk Of running a system entirely in
dependent. 1t a not be done, for
connexions cannot be ignored. Fur
thermore, the st. Paul is SO peculiar
ly situated that it does not depend
for it's evenue upon through business.
Its local business is what pays divi-
dends."
