MEN IN FLAMES
RUSH TO RIVER.
EXPLOSION IN A NON-EXPLOSIVE
POWDER MILL DOES DIS
AsTRoUs WORK.
Two Burned to Death and a Third
Will Die-Men Rush to the
River to Stop Fire.

Clearfield, Pa, Jan. 10.-The Hickey
ite Non-explosive Powder Company s
mill, here, was destroyed by fire
today. Two men were burned to
death, a third will die from his inju-
ries and two others were seriously
burned. The dead are John C. Stew
art, Roy Smith, The injured are
G. B. Roseberry, James Baker and f.
R. zentmeyer.
1t is supposed an explosion preced-
ed the fire Stewards body was
found in the ruins of the burned mill,
the limbs having been burned from
the body.
The other four men escaped from
the mill with their clothing burning.
They ran into the river near by to ex-
tinguish the flames, and when per-
sons attracted by the fire arrived at
the scene the men were found on the
river bank suffering severely from the
burns. Smith died a few hours later.
Roseberry, it is thought, cannot re-
cover. The five men were employed
in the MILL and were the only persons
in the place when the fire broke out.
The mill was owned by former Con
gresham James Kerr, of this county,
and w. II. Hickey, of New York II
was built about eight months ago and
cost $4,000.

MOSES RUINED
BY OPIUM HABIT
FORMER GOVERNOR OF SOUTH
CAROLINA ARRAIGNEp IN
POLICE COURT.
He Gave Merchant Bogus Check to
Pay for an overcoat-MaI<es
Speech to the Judge.

Boston, Mass. Jan. 10.-Franklin
J. Moses, ex-governor of South Caro-
lima, was before Judge Brown in the
second session of the municipal Grim
inal court this morning charged with
giving check for $50 in payment for
an overcoat, the check having been
drawn on South Carolina bank, in
which it was learned that the ex-
governor had no funds. Then again
it was further learned that after Mo
ses got the coat he pawned it. His
honor. the ex-governor met both the
claims.
Concerning the money transaction,
he said that at the time ne gave the
check he honestly believed that there
was money in the bank to meet the
face value. A few days after he got
the coat he learned by letter that
there was no money there, and at
once telephoned to Mr.. James A.
Hawkes., the tailor, that he expected
a party from the south with money
for him with which he expected to
pay his obligations.
Ex-Governor Moses thereupon gave
vent to burst of oratory as follows.
In 4S72, when I occupied the posi-
tion of chief magistrate of one of the
prominent states in the union, was
driven by social ostracism, despite
my position and the counsel of men
high in public life, to seek relief in
that alone which seemed to be able
to give rest to mind ill at rest
namely, to the use of morphine. From
morphine | next took to using opium.
In fact in 1876, the time when the
Republican party surrendered the
state to the opposition, | had become
so addicted to its influence that l could
not live without it,"
Judge Brown then sentenced him
to Deer island for four months.

VOTE HOUSE APPROVES
NICARAGUA CANAL Bill

turn down has brought much sorrow
to the southern colored brother, and
the appointment of democrat as dis
trict attorney and marshal has also
brought deep sorrow to the hearts OF
the whole Mississippi contingent.
Mississippi republicans holding Of
flee here are, of course, not doing
much talking for publication, because
they have their own official heads to
look after; but on the quiet they are
predicting dire things for 1904. They
are sharpening their scalping knives
Naturally they consider it a great re-
flection upon the Republican party of
Mississippi that the president should
declare by his appointments that
there are none of them fit for these
high positions. This is just what
the presidents action means, and with
characteristic franliness he does not
hesitate to say so.
Colonel Smyth, of Augusta who
hopes to be postmaster, mad a talk
with Postmaster General Smith and
endeavored to advance the Augusta
case so as to get action upon it before
the new postmaster general comes in.
All he was able to get was a state
ment that it might be reached, but
there was no certainty of it, The
same condition prevails with other
Georgia cases. Pink" Morton's term
is out on the 14th. the time the change
in the department is to be made, put

ances that his case will be disposed
Of before that date.

ATTEMPT TO
AMEND FAILED
1T WAS EASILY VOTED DOWN BY
THE SUPPORTERS OF THE
BILL YESTERDAY.
Friends of the Panama Route viii
Make Hard Fight in the
Senate Very Soon.

Washington, Jan. 10.-A scene that
has probably had no parallel save
the passage OF the bill carrying the
$500O0,000 appropriation for the war
with Spain was enacted in the house
of representatives today, when, with
out two negative votes the Hepburn
bill, providing for the construction of
the Niearaguan canal was passed by
that body. The negative votes were
aast by Representative Lassiter. of
Virginia, and Fletcher, Of Minnesota.
Mr.. Bishop, of Michigan, declined to
vote. After the test of the Morris
amendment for the purchase of the
'anama property, which received 102
Totes, these members, who had made
l gallant effort to inject their ideas
nto the bill, Joined hands with the
Importers of the committee bill and
)ut it through practically unanimous
ly. There was great interest in the
contest over the Morris amendment
and great enthusiasm over the final
vote which carried the bill through
in a way to serve notice to the world
If the sincerity of this overnments
determination to put through the pro-
eet which means so much to the
ommerce of the world.
There can be no question that this
ction of the house will have a great
noral effect in favor of the Nicarauan
cute. 1t does not mean, however,
hat the Panama proposition is not
10 receive thorough. consideration at
the hands of the senate On the con
rary it is certain that the senate will
i've the Panama people a full oppor-
unity to be heard with the sole idea
of securing the best possible route.
The fact that the Panama people
are willing to take $4O0O0,O0O instead
of $100,0OO,OO0, as they have In the
past, is taken as meaning that they
will be glad to get $25 900, 900, or any.
thing else they can. The state de-
partment has every assurance tnat
just as liberal concessions will be
granted by Colombia as by Niccara-
qua and Costa Rica and the canal
situation presents as it has never
heretofore, an opportunity for the con
sideration of the two routes on their
merits as an engineering and business
proposition.
The action of the house today
means that there is going to be
canal, and that there will be no great
delay in inaugurating the work IL
is great victory for those who have
been in the front Of the fight.
What the Bill Authorizes.
The bill as passed today authorizes
tho president to secure from the
states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
in behalf of the United States, control
Of such portion Of the territory be-
longing to said states as may be de-
sirable and necessary on which to ex-
cayate, construct and protect a canal
suitable to the wants of modern navi-
cation and commerce, and appropri-
ates such sum as may be necessary
to secure the control of said territory.
Section 2 authorizes the president
after securing control of the needed
territory, to direct the secretary of
war to construct such canal from the
