RAISESA new LAW POINT
WITNESSES REFUSE TO TESTIFY
IN THE NELLY CASE.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, aug. 56.--Arthur
Jordan, president, and Arthur r. Baxter,
treasurer Of the Keyless Lock company,
accompanied by their attorney, ex-Mayor
Denny, went before United States Com
missioner Moores this afternoon and de-
clined to testify as to contracts which
the indianapolis concern had with the
department of posts in Cuba, the same
to be used in the prosecution of Charles
F. w. Nicely.
Formal declaration in written form
was filed and the same with points of
law raised will be referred by Comrnis-
sioner Moores to Judge Baker, of the
United States district court The prin-
cipal reason given for the refusal Of
Messrs. Jordan and Baxter to answer
the interrogatories forwarded from the,
Cuban court under the counter-signature
of Gov. Gen. Wood was that the Island
of Cuba is a foreign territory, and the
cause in question was pending in for
eign jurisdiction, to which they owed no
allegiance. They claimed the Cuban
court had never acquired any jurisdiction
over citizens of the United States, and
that no law passed by the American
congress had conferred upon the Cuban
judge right to vest in a United States
commissioner right to compel citizens of
this country to testify against their wish
In any case.

The little fellow, whose parents reside
at Rice and University streets, accom-
panied his mother on a shopping tour in
the afternoon, and while the latter was
waiting for change in a Wabasha street
store, Ray resolved to explore the
unknown recesses of the city. Without
requesting permission of his mother he
walked out. and when missed was out
OF sight. The frantic mother hunted
high and low for the boy, and final
ly 1t occurred to her to call ats the cen
trail station. In response to aher in
quiries, she was informed that a fair
haired little girl was the only thing in
stock in the line of lost children, and
to this she replied that Ray greatly re-
sembled girl. She went upstairs to in
spect the stock in trade, and was over
joyed to find that she had called at the
right place. Ray was accordingly led
away, although he was apparently in
clined to devote more time to explora-
ton of the woman's quarters.
The little fellow when taken up by an
officer was at Jackson and Sibley streets,
and was still bravely bent on seeing
more of the city.

SEVEN KNOWN DEAD
AND MORE THAN SIXTY INJURED
IN PHILADELPHIA EX-
PLOSION
STILL SEARCHING THE DEBRIS
Police and Fire officials Hold to the
Theory That Gasoline Was
the Cause OF the
Disaster.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6.-Seven dead,
three or four probably fatally injured
and more than sixty other persons hurt
II ore or less seriously is the latest re-
vised record of last nights explosion In
the block of buildings on Locust street,
above Tenth, in this city. How many
more victims, if any, are still in the ruins
will not be known until the debris has
been cleared away, which will require
many mere hours of hard work. The
latest find was made at o'clock tonight,
when the badly burned remains of col
cred man was found in the wreckage on
the sidewalk.
The list of dead is as follows:
ELIZABETH MOUNTAIN, aged thirty
FREDERICIL LEE, aged forty colored.
Unknown colored child. aged about
three years.
Unknown coIored woman, aged about
twenty-eight, and three unknown colored
men, ranging in ages about thirty TO
The most seriously injured who are
likely to die, are:
Mrs Patrick Quigley, Samuel Gates,
cClored Lizzie Watkins, colored, and
Morris ROSenthal.
The escape from death of Lizzie Wat
kins is considered remarkable. She was
buried almost a dozen feet under the de-
bris with fire all around her and was
taken from the ruins four and one-half
hours after the explosion occurred. She
was badly burned and bruised and her
lsight was destroyed. A large number Of
those that were not seriously injured
have left the hospitals, but quite num-
her will be confined to these institutions
for a few weeks.
Undeterred by the incessant rain, the
work Of searching for the dead was kept
I'D continuously during the twenty-lour
hours since the explosion occurred The
only person who was positively known
to be in the ruins was. Elizabeth Noun
tain. and a large force Of men was Kept
constantly at work in e~debPis where
her mothers house had stood. The eff
forts of the searchers were rewarded at 4
o'clock this afternoon when in the corner
of the cellar, covered partly by broken
bricks, the remains of the unfortunate
woman was found. Her mother and
brother had stood by during the entire
night and day watching the searchers at
work.
Temporary electric lights have been
erected at the scene of the explosion, and
tonight 200 men under the direction of
the department of public safety are Wig
orOusly pursuing the search.
The police and fire officials are also
making a search for. the cause of the
explosion, but tonight they have no posi-
tive proof as to its cause. They hold
to the theory that gasoline did the dam
age and that it had been stored in enc
of the three grocery stores.

Sheet Metal Workers.

The Sheet Metal Workers had an I'M
usually interesting meeting at Assembly
hall last evening. 1t was decided to turn
out in the parade on Labor day, and Mar

and vicinity, it was impossible to com
ply with the request. The commun1ca-
ton was therefore placed on file. The
next meeting will be held on Tuesday
evening, Aug. 20, when final preparations
will De made for Labor day. Other bust
ness of Importance will also be CONSIDER
ed. All members will be notified by pos
tai card to attend and turn out in the

KILL HOTEL RUNNERS
ALDERMEyN MAY ABOLISH THEM AS
A FRATERNITY.

The committee on streets of the board
of aldermen will at its next meeting con-
slider a proposition to do away. with what
is known as the hotel runner class
that haunt the vicinity of the union
depot and solicit patronage for fourth
class hotels.
Aid. Knauft is the author of the ordi-
nance which proposes this reform, and
he says he is actuated with the idea of
Kidding st. Paul of a nuisance. Hotel run
ners in all other cities, he says, are
obsolete,' and should be in st. Paul. The
police also are responsible. for the re-
quest to have the custom stopped, claim
ing that many of the men employed as
hotel runners include lines of business
that have for their end the fleeing of
the unwary.
If the ordinance should be approved,
soliciting at the depot gates will subject
the offender to a fine from $25 to $50.

PLAINTIFFS GETS JUDGMENT.
Nrs. Emma WOmacI< Receivers $1,000
From Relative.

Judge Kelly yesterday heard the case
Of Emma Womack against George Wo-
mack, her brother-in-law, in which ac-
tion was brought to recover the balance
OF a loan of $780, which was secured
from the plaintiff under peculiar circum-
stances.
In her complaint Mrs Womack alleged
that after the death of her husband she
received $500 life insurance money,
shortly after which she was induced to
loan the money to her brother-in-law,
who took advantage Of their relation,
and who was to pay the money back In
ten days. At the time the loan was made,
he represented that he had ample means,
and that she would not have to wait
for the money. This was in March, and
thus far he has paid back only $500 of
the money.
In his answer the defendant denied
everything except that he had paid her
$500
Judge Kelly struck out the answer on
the grounds that it was a sham and
false, and judgment was ordered ror
the plaintiff in the full amount.

KINGS DECLARATION BILL
Is Not Likely to Pass at This SEES

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Although no division
was challenged at the third reading Of
the kings declaration bill last evening in
the house of lords, it is generally believed
that no further attempt will be made to
pass it, either this session or the next.
Lord Salisbury, the premier, referring to
the statement Of Catholic peers, said the
government now realized that the Cath
Giles did not wish the offensive words in
the original declaration to be withdrawn
unless the government at the same time
withdrew the declaration regarding the
security of the Protestant succession.
The government never had the slightest
intention of Withdrawing that. The Cath
olics regretted that they must be pre-
pared to see the declaration stand in its
present form.
