ond magazine was expended in two
directions, north and south. On the
north it completely demolished the
house of William Riggs, about fifty
yards away. almost burying Mrs.
Riggs, and badly injuring her little
son. Mrs. Riggs died before being
taken to the hospital.
On the other side of the magazine
was a grove of trees through which the
explosion tore a path fifty feet wide,
for distance of nearly 300 yards. The
four little boys were caught in the
center of this path, and three were
instantly killed. the body of one of
them being frightfully mutilated, the
head being completely blown off. The
fourth was alive when he was discov-
cred by the police and fremen, but did
not long survive
Most of the proptry destroyed con-
sisted of small buildings constructed
of wood. and at a comparatively small
| cost. The property loss, therefore, will
not be heavy.
The selectmen of the town of
Tewksbury believe that $4,000 will
cover the entire loss.

DAKOTA DIVORCES
DON'T GO IN ENGLAND.
Result of Suit Instituted by ID. 5.
Conatandintdi.

hesuAt OF suit AnHtltuteu ny ~ -
ConstandInfdi.
London, July 29.-The validity of
Dakota divorces in England was again
raised to-day before the president Of
the Divorce Court, Sir Francis Jeune,
in the suit for divorce brought byfD. S.
Constandinidi against his wife, who is
a daughter of Stephen Rail-, MEM
Der of the, firm of Rail- Brothers, well
known in New York as well as in
London.
The husband charged his wife with
bigamously marrying DR.. Lance, the
family physician. MIR. constandinidi
obtained a judicial separation from his
wife In 1899
John Lawson Walton, counsel for the
petitioner explained the subsequent
proceedings as follows.
This delicately nurtured lady of
Belgravia went to a wild district of
the earth. emigrated to the half-set-
tied state of Dakota, became an Amer
lean citizen, stayed six months there,
fraudulently obtained a so-called di-
Vorce and married the correspondent
there, thus using the lax Dakota laws
for her own purpose. This was fraud
on civilized Jurisprudence"
The jury found the respondent and
correspondent guilty of adultery;
awarded $125,000 damages against Dr.
Lance, and also found the petitioner
guilty of the counter charge of adul-
terry. His petition, therefore, was dis
missed and argument on the points Of
the law involved was postponed until
Tomorrow.

ty Zolman Papp caused a sensation in
the lower House of the Diet to-day by
spreading out on the table 10000 kron-

obtain a hearing, the premier handed
the clerk a written motion, moving
the reading of the bill. When the OBJ
structionists became aware of this ac-
ton, a couple of members of the Kos
suth party stormed the presidential

clerks hands and tore it to pieces.

ing deputies, and amidst the tunlult
the session was again suspended.
1t is said that two duels have been
arranged between deputies as an out

CUT IN ON MARCONI.

How the German Company Could
Intercept His Messages.
Berlin, July 29.-The German Wire
less Telegraph Company has issued a
statement regarding Signor Marconi's
utterances on the possibility of the
German company intercepting Mar
conf messages in England. The Ger
man company says all that is neces-
sary is to erect a strong station on
the shores of the Baltic or the North
Sea with attuned wires to Marconis
station at Poldhu. Cornwall, and it
would be impossible for Marconi to re-
ceive transatlantic messages.
The statement concludes: Such pro-
cedure for fighting the world monopoly
aimed at by Marconi could hardly be
called 'chicanery,' but more properly
self-defense

Gravitating.

lance of adopting free trade, and in
support of this he said he had a pri-
vate interview with the late President

latter said:
my tariff bill has done it's work.
We have been able to build up many
great industries in a short time and
now gradually. but. inevitably our
tariff must be reduced"

ica's industrial position under protec-
ton was mot entirely attractive, nor

Colonel Ochi1tree Bided His Tame
and Carried on the H0nORa.

Colonel OCht1tree H10e0 H1@ VIme
and Carried On the HOnOrs.
General Grant was a great admirer
Of Colonel Thomas Ochiltree and made
many of the men of Galveston a bit
jealous. AS result they once planned
an incident whereby they would hu-
initiate Ochiltree. Grant was to stop
at Galveston after his trip to South
America, and the. committee did not
put Ochiltree's name on the list of dis
tinguished men to meet him.
Ochiltree bided his time. as he was
never known to complain. and did not
go to the ship to welcome General
Grant He took vantage point in the
crowd that filled the streets in front of
the fremont House. He was behind
two rows of celebrities who were doing
guard duty along the edges of a Grim
son carpet which ran from the hotel
steps to the curb The reception COM
mittee, or part of it. was standing in
the hotel door. waiting to give the gen.
eral the gladstone hand.
Ochiltree watched until the general
and Mrs. Grant had stepped from the
carriage. and then he bulged through
the line. He rushed down the crimson
carpet, shook heartily the hand of his
old friend and, offering his arm to
Mrs. Grant, marched proudly through
the rank and file of the leading citizens
into the hotel. The mob outside de-
manded a speech from the general,
and, constituting himself a committee
of one, Colonel Ochiltree appeared with
him in the hotel balcony and intro
duced Grant as one of his best, truest
and bravest friends. This was the last
time the men in Galveston tried to
gnub him at a social function.
