CHOSEN ON FIRST BALLOT

After several fruitless meetings and
as many postponements Of action, the
newly-created State Library Board OF
John Pendleton Kennedy, native OF
winchester. but for five years past
resident Of Washington and employe OF
the Congressional Library. had been
elected State Librarian OF Virginia. Mr..
Kennedy will assume his duties about
pointment, but permanent one. the APP
pointee holding office indefinitely or
until removed by the board. Meanwhile
Mr. John Jackson. a wellknown lawyer
of this city, has beer designated to els
charge the duties of librarian until Mr.
Kennedy takes charge. or for one month.
NOT UNEXPECTED.
The action Of the committee was not
altogether surprise, having been fore
casted after the action taken at the
recent meeting. when a committee d
three was named to interview certain
candidates as to their absolute qualifi-
cation for the position, and report to thu
board. That committee consisted OF
Messrs, s. s. P. Paterson and j. A. c.
Chandler. Of this city. and A. c.. Gordon
Of Staunton, reported last night 1t is
understood that Messrs. Chandler and
Patteson reported in favor OF Mr.. Ken
nedy as a suitable and available man.
Mr. Gordon. it is said, was in favor Of
a resident Of Virginia. This information
or speculation cannot be confirmed by,
inquiry OF members OF the board, but Is
heard on the outside The other two
members OF the board are Messrs. j. W.

as Mr.. Gordon, while Mr.. Garnetts po-
sition is not known. 1t is surmised,
however. Mr.. Garrett finally voted for
the majority report of the committee.
OF this. however, the board members
absolutely decline to talk. 1t was after
II O. clock last night when the result was
announced. A choice was made on the

PEORIA, ILL, Oct. 3.-With a terrific
crash. Corning's distillery. at the foot Of
Western Avenue, rocked and swayed this
morning. and one large section Of the
five-story building rose into the air.
Out Of the flying debris shot a huge
copper cyclinder, twenty feet in length
and eight feet in diameter. The explosion
of this tremendous tube of copper caused
the death Of seven men and serious in
jury OF five more. Every man who was
in the building at the time Of the explo-
sion was instantly killed, the injured be-
ing men who were on the outside. The fol-
lowing Is a list OF the killed and In
jured:

The great cyclinder of copper crashed
through the east wall Of the cooker ROOM
and on through the mill as If the bricks
and mortar had been tissue paper; shot
in noblique and downward course
through the ar; cut down a large tree in,
its flight, scattered a pile Of lumber as
If beams and timber had been SO many
straws, and landed $50 feet away from
the start of It's flight Three of the four
walls of the building were blown ou'
Great gaps were rent in them from top
to bottom, pulling the roof down with
them. and underneath that mass of brick,
mortar. beams and twisted machinery
lies the mangled corpse of John Wilson
which may not be taken out for a day or
two.
Nobody has clear idea of how tho
explosion occurred All that can be said
is that an explosion occurred. or that the
cooker gave way.
The damage to the buildings and ma
chinery was estimated by Manager Casey
at about 100000. It will be three m onths
before the plant will be in opera ton
again. The distillery is an independent
concern, owned by the Cornings. and has
been in operation less tina ntwo years.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. 29.-Colonel
Verdckberg, commanding the militia

lor and squad to secure the surrender of
John G. Glover, formerly a con-

Mr.. Glover had sent a letter denying the
legality Of the recent order for surrender
of the arms Of the citizens. In a letter
Mr. Glover referred to Governor Peabody
as "a cheap anarchist.' He declared that
he had two guns in his office, and he de-
fed the military to take them from him.
The lawyers office was found barri-
caded. Glover appeared with a revolver,
and he declared that he would shoot the
first man who attempted to break down
the door. The place was surrounded by
troops, and orders were given to shoot the
man if he appeared with his gun again.
Several shots were exchanged, and the at
torney was wounded in the arm, after
which he was captured.

GH0ULS ATTACKED WRECK
ONLY TWENTY DIED IN PERE
NIARQUETTEs DISASTER = ONE
HORRIBLY MANGLED.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 20
Careful revision Of the list of dead
shows a total Of nineteen victims of
the wreck on the Pere Marquette rail-
way instead Of fwentg-two as previous
ly reported. This does notsinclude the
fragments of a body discovered at the
spot where the two engines came to-
gether. The coroner is convinced that
the fragments are not part of a. body
heretofore discovered, but represent
another victim. Identification is i'm
possible.
The unidentified body in the
morgue, which was supposed to be that
of A. J. King Of Kingsley, has been
identified as John Metheny McSween
of Red City, Mich, "a years old.
Despite the extreme precautions and
watchfulness of the Pere Marquette
railway officials and county officers, it
now is believed that many acts of van
dalism were committed.
Coroner Hil1iker said yesterday. that
nothing Of any value whatever was
found by him when he searched the
dead, and that he believes ghouls
