RYAN WHIPS CARTER.
Latter Knocked Out in sixth Round of
 Ftercc Fight.

Ring Side, Fort Erie, Ontario, Sept 15.-Tommy Ryan may be the veteran of the middleweight prize ring, but he is still far from back number. To- night in the arena of the Fort Erie club in a vicious bruising fight he knocked out Kid Carter of Brooklyn in the last minute of the sixth round. The knock out was clean and decisive and came chiefly as the result of the superior ring generalship of Ryan, which en- abled him throughout to successfully evade or withstand the heavy on- slaughts of his opponent. Sturdy and heavy hitting, proud of his endurance, full of energy, confidence and ambition, Carter was no mean opponent In fact he hustled Ryan throughout the fight, forcing him from corner to corner with wicked lunges which effectually de- stroyed any effort on Ryans part to box prettily.
 Forced to fight Ryan finally went at the game as few can. He stung and stabbed Carter until he had him bleed ing and bewildered and then several we'll placed right arm jolts on the jaw tumbled the husky young fellow, 8 bleeding mass of senseless humanity to the rosn. Carter fought gamely and hard, but he suffered about all the vis- ible punishment that was noted during the bout. Ryan with his work of to- night proves conclusively that he is a fit man to take up the middleweight championship where his predecessors who have fought magnifcently in the class laid 1t down. Such men as Mccoy, Jack O'Brien, and others looked on with amazement on the Kansas City mans work While the bout was too short to sufficiently test Tommy's en- durance there was nothing very terrify- ing to his packers in the weariness he displayed at any time.
 The very nature of the fight put up by Carter prevented Tommy from dis playing at its best his well known foot work, but he side-stepped, lunged and plunged in the beautiful manner of old.
 When forced to mix he went at it will ingly and with rare judgement. and when in the fifth and sixth rounds Car ter slowed up bit Ryan jabbed him unmercifully reducing him to a plight where if the pace continued a knockout seemed only question of moments.

 A disastrous gas and powder explo- sion occurred in the Big Four mine of the Algoa Coal and Coke Co. here this afternoon about 4 o'clock. James Les ter, an engineer one Hungarian and fifteen colored miners are known to be in the mine now and there is no chance of their being recovered alive, as they are beyond the point where the explo- sion occurred. and the gas and smoke is so thick that the rescuing parties are being driven back. H. K. Frankenfield, the bank boss, and George Gaspie, an Hungarian miner, succeeded in crawling over the fallen coal and slate to the lights of the rescuing party, and have been taken out alive, although they are both badly burned and were nearly suf- located by the gas and smoke.
 The explosion was caused by an ac- cumulation of gas catching fire from the lamp of a miner who was going to work and this in turn firing six kegs of blasting powder that had been stored in the mines.
 Bluefelds, w. Va, Sept. 15.--11:30 p. m.-A telephone message just received from Alfoma. says eleven bodies have just been recovered from the mines and that six more bodies are to be taken out. So far those recovered are all colored men, with one exception.

LIEUTENANT MORRIS, OF THE
 OLYMPIA, SHOOTS HIMSELF.

Found Dead in His stateroom-The
 Second Officer of Dewey's Former
 FIagship to Commit Suicide Within
 the Last Five Days No Cause Known
 for the Act.
 Boston, Sept 15.-Lieutenant John R. Morris. U. s. N, was found dead in his stateroom on tEe U. s. S. Olympia by a fellow officer to-day. He had commit ted suicide by shooting with revolver. The Olympia is anchored off the Boston navy yard.
 Lieutenant Morris was the engineer ing officer of the Olympia, and began his duty on that ship January 25 last. No cause is known for his act.
 Captain Henry w. Lyon, U s. N, the commanding officer of the Olympia is in Paris, Me, and in his absence the ship is in command of Lieutenant Command CT c. H. Harlow, U. s. N.
 Lieutenant John Ramsay Morris was appointed to the naval academy from Missouri. He was made a naval cadet November 15, 1889, and was honorably discharged June 30, 1895. April IT, 1896, he re-entered the navy and was made an assistant engineer. Then on March 3, 1899, his rank was changed to ensign. He became lieutenant (junior grade) April IT, 1899, and got his rank of lieu tenant July 12 1901. He served on the Concord from 1893 to 1896, was then on the Texas and in the latter part of 1896 went to the Solace, on which he served until 1901, when he was assigned to the torpedo station until ordered to the Olympia.
 Lieutenant Morris is the second officer of the Olympia, Dewey's flagship, to commit suicide within five days. Chap lain William F. Morrison, U. s. N, com mited suicide by shooting Thursday af- ternoon last at the marine hospital, Chelsea, where he had been transferred a few days before.

 the chaplain of the navy yard probably will officiate, as the Olympia now has no chaplain.

LIEUT.. PEARY RETURNING
ARCTIC EXPLORER SENDS MES
 SAGE FROM LABRADOR.
On His Way Home on the Relief Ship Windward-AIi We'll on Board-NO Not the Expedition Reached the North Pole.


 New York, Sept. 15.-Herbert l.. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arc tic club, received a dispatch to-day from Lieutenant R. E. Peary, the Arc tic explorer, dated Chateau Bay, Lab rador. Lieutenant Peary says in the dispatch that he is on his way home on the relief ship Windward, and that all on board are well.
 Beyond that contained in the dispatch received to-day MT. Bridgman has no information as to the movements of the explorer, who sailed with his expedition to the North Pole on July 4, 1898, MT. Bridgman left Lieutenant Peary at Cape Sabine on the 18th of August, 1901.
 The relief ship Windward left New York in July last to find the Peary ex petition, and has evidently been suc- cessful.
 Captain Bartlett was in command of the Windward. Mrs. Dedrich, who lives at Washington, N. J., wife of Dr. Thomas S. Dedrich, who left on pre- vious expedition, also received a dis patch from her husband to-day giving the same information as that contained in the important message sent by Peary himself to MT. Bridgman.
 MT. Bridgman left here on the mid night train for Boston whence he will go to Sydney to meet the explorer on his arrival there. Dr. Dedrichs message also said that the doctor had left his quarters with the Esquimos at Etah and had gone to Pearys winter head quarters to offer his services if needed.
 In his message to his wife Dr. Ded- rich touches on one point that is of the greatest interest, as throwing light on his relations with Lieutenant Peary. It will be recalled that when the Eric, the Peary relief ship of last year, returned last autumn, leaving the explorer to make a dash for the pole this summer, it was said that Dr. Dedrich, who for three years had been Peary's surgeon, had been left alone at Etah and would have to depend upon his own unaided resources to exist during the long dark winter.
 It was at first intimated that Dr. Ded- rich had been marooned as the result of a disagreement with Peary, but this was emphatically denied later by the officers of the Peary Arctic club. Dr. Dedrich's wife was entirely satisfied in her own mind that her husbands real reason for remaining was because of his fine sense of honor and his devotion to Peary despite the difference that had arisen between them.

AHorHER child was burned to
death 10 Ell Paso this week, the fire
being caused by careless handling of
low grade coal oil. There is no coal
oil inspection law in Ell Paso. There
is such a law in New Mexico. Coal
oil costs more 10 New Mexico than 1t
does 10 Ell Paso. The El Paso people
often commiserate with the New
Mexico people because they have TO
pay so much for coal oil. No children
are burned to death In New Mexico
by low grade coal oil. The people of
New Mexico mourn with the people
OF III Paso over the not infrequent
aud horrible deaths Of their children.
The people of New Mexico value a
