Peekskill, N. Y, Nov. 4-Six'
teen men are reported dead and a
number wounded as result of a
series of explosions today on Iona
Island, in the Hudson, used by the
government as storehouse for dy-
Mantle and powder. The first ex.
plosion occurred shortly before /
o'clock, and was followed by others
for more than an hour, the detona-
tions being heard in this city until
2:3o. A telephone call was sent
here for every physician available,
and all that could be found respond
ed to the call. Beyond the fact that
16 men were killed and many
wounded, no. details of the disaster
was obtainable at 2:2o,
The explosion was heard for
more than ten miles. The Island
is five hundred yards from the west
shore of the Hudson, but rocks
and dirt were hurled to the banks,
falling Oh the tracks of the West
Shore Railroad. A large amount
of the explosives of the North At
lantic Squadron was stored on the
island and several hundred men
were stationed there. The blaze of
bursting explosives made terrify-
ing spectacle, which was watched
by hundreds of persons on this side
of the river.
Four years ago the government
purchased the entire leland for the
purpose of converting it into ma
val magazine. The work wBs be-
gun Immediately after the pur-
chase, and was in progress today.
Lake Village, Ark, Nov. 81
Two people are dead and three
wounded as the result of trouble
between whites and blacks here to-
day, which was not settled until
lynching had quieted the excited
people.
A riot occurred between some
negroes and whites early in the day.
It is alleged that during the alter.
cation, Ed Coleman, colored, pull
ed pistol and began shooting. A
fusillade followed, and when it
ceased, it was found that Frank
Anderson, one of those in the crowd
was dead. Vinson was shot in two
places, Joseph Frame wounded in
the foot, and Ella Mcdowell, color
ed shot in the hack
Coleman fed, and posse at
once started in pursuit. Johnson,
one of the negroes, was arrested.
At noon, the mob gathered at the
court house.
Sledge-hammers and railroad
irons were quickly found and in.
thirty minutes four doors at the
Jail had been broken down. The
mob quickly secured the nrgro,
took him to the center of the town,
and hanged him at noon.

FINANCIALLY MBARRAssED.
Worry Over Money Troubles Caused
George Nicholson's Suicide.

George Nicholson, the coiored barber who
committed suicide yesterday In the shed
in rear of his shop at 4Sh H street north
west, as stated in yesterdays Star, was
well known in the nelghborhood of the
government printing Office, where he was
in business a number Of years. Financial
embarrassment. it is said, prompted the
deed. The BARRIERS rent was about due
and he had other bills to meet and only 81
in his money drawer. His business had
fallen of during recent months, and he
complained to friends that his inability to
meet his obligations worried him. Yester-
day morning about 1890 o'clock he told his
assistant. Henry Hamilton, that he was
going out for a short while and started out
the back way. as had been his custom.
Hamilton became alarmed over his pro-
tracted absence. but did not suspect that
he had killed himself.
About o'clock John Thomas, a shoe
maker in the adjoining ROOM went to the
shed to feed his chickens and was horri-
fed at the sight Of the man hanging in
the shed. He had adjusted the rope to a
small piece Of timber that had been nailed
to two posts and his feet were on the
ground. Death had been caused by stran-
gulation.
The body was cut down l sent to the
morgue. Coroner hewitt visited the scene
OF the tragedy and gave the necessary
death certificate. Nicholson was native
of Baltimore county Md. He had no rela-
tives in this city.
