new AUTOMOBILE PERIL
EXPLOSION OF THE GASOLINE TANK

Blazing Fluid Showered on n Crowd
of Persons, and a Score or More
Injured, None Fatally.

NEW YORK, May 21.-A score or more
persons were injured to-day by the explo-
sion Of the gasoline tank of an automobile
owned by Thomas d. De Wut~aswhelessle
coal dealer. The injured, among whom
were a policeman and three fremen, were
burned by shower of blazing gasoline.
None was fatally hurt.
The automobile was in charge Of chauf-
feur who was taking 1t to a repair shop be-
usethe gasoline tank leaked. AtForty-sev-
enth street and Third avenue he found the
machine on fire and brought it to halt
An alarm was sent. and after vainly at
tempting to extinguish the flames with
hand grenades the firemen turned a stream
on the blazing vehicle. BY that time three
hundred or four hundred persons had gath
cred near the machine. The water had
scarcely been turned on when the gasoline
tank exploded. The burning fluid from the
tank scattered in all directions and those
in the front rank of the crowd caught the
full force of 1t. A score of men rolled on
the ground and shrieked with pain and
women tainted. Firemen put rubber coats
and blankets about the victims and extin-
guished the burning clothing. Several were
taken to the hospital.

Severe wind rain and electrical storms
swept over portions of Indiana late yester-
day afternoon and last night. The fall OF
rain at Indianapolis was heavy. but no
damage was done. Towns and cities north.
east and west OF Indianapolis. however.
were less fortunate. In Boone county
buildings were partly wrecked and stocks
Of goods in stores deluged with water. the
greatest loss being at Lebonon. At Elwood
and CASTOR lightning played havoc. a lit

The streets of Muncie. Terre Haute and
other towns were flushed by downpours
of rain and a few bridges and cuiverts
were washed away. Numerous shade trees
and fences were blown down.
The rain that drenched Indianapolis for
hours yesterday afternoon and last night
was first cousin to a cloudburst. More
water fell in the city than at any other
place in the country, according TO reports
received at the local weather bureau.
While the deluge was extraordinarily
heavy, there was nothing unusual or alb
normal about it for the time of year.

indicated that LII inches Of rain fel, from

however. in the city was not considerable.
The heavy rain was a godsend 10 the
farmers of this locality as well as other
sections of the State. On account OF pro-
longed dryness plowing has been delayed

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE IN THE NEW
YORK CENTRAL YARDS.
One Man Burned to Death and Others
Injured-Many Railway Cars
Endangered.

NEW YORK. May 21.--An explosion of
five barrels of hydro-carbon in the New
York Central Railroad yards. at One
undred-and-fifty-sixth street and Sheridan
avenue. to-day, caused a disastrous fire
and resulted in the death of one man and
the serious injury Of several others. An
erroneuos report to the effect that eight
men had been burned to death was sent
to police headquarters. but was shortly
afterwards denied. The man who lost his
life was Joseph Careno. thirty-fve years
old. and the seriously injured are John
Weyler, forty-two years old. and Leonard
Stoker. twenty-one years old. both seriously
burned.
The fire spread to three gas tanks, the
machine and repair shops and several
freight cars. The explosion OF the gas tanks
caused a great deal of confusion and for a
time ii was feared that it would be impos-
sible TO save the hundreds of cars lying in
the yards. The Twentieth Century express
for Chicago and other New York Central
trains were delayed by the fire.

TERHUNE's TURN MEX,

DR.. d. j. Te-hune of Linton. is now the
only member of the board OF managers
who was on the board at the time the
movement toward a reorganization was
started. John S. Mcdonald, of New AL
bany. was removed by the Governor short
ly after the adjournment OF the Legisla-
ture, and Dr. III. c. Hobbs. OF Salem. was
named to succeed him. Charles Z. Shively,
of Richmond. was permitted to serve out
his term, which expired March p. and he
was not an appointee of Governor Durbin.
L. p Newly, of Knightstown. former state
senator, was recently appointed TO succeed
him.
1t is said the Governor will request the
resignation of Dr. Terhune within the near
future, although the Linton man may be
left undisturbed until the expiration OF his
term March %, 1904. With three new mem
bers of the board the reorganization is now
effective. The retirement of Joseph z.
Byers who was appointed superintendent
of the Reformatory last fall TO succeed A.
T. Hert, Is expected, and IL is also reported
that Mr.. Byers may anticipate any action
by the new board by resigning, as he is
said to have informed a few of his close
friends recently that he has been offered
two or three positions that are more desir-
able than the superintendency Of the JEFF
fersonville institution.
Governor Durbin and Auditor of state
Sherrick spent the day yesterday at JEFF
fersonville. visiting the Reformatory. IL
was stated last evening at the Governor s
office that the visit had nothing TO do with
the changes in the board of managers and
which the Governor is making TO all the
State institutions
