navy yard fire department and a de-
tachment of marines under Captain
Boots soon put out the flames.
The explosion. according to reports
from eye witnesses. followed the theft
of a barrel of grain alcohol containing
fifty-six gallons by a party of sailors.
This barrel, it is said. was taken from
one of the storehouses of the yard and
removed to the dock near the Olympia
There it was opened.
Shipkeeper Daily on board the Olympia
detected the odor of the spirits and
summoned the ships master-at-arms.
A search led to the discovery of the
barrel, which was taken aboard the
Olympia and placed on the hurricane
deck. With the exception of a small
quantity, which had been consumed, it
was intact.
Yerkes and the unknown sailor went
to the barrel and one of them struck a
match. An explosion Instantly occurred
flaming liquid. They perished before a
hand could be raised to save them.
The ship at once caught fire and the
blaze for awhile was stubborn, but was
finally extinguished. In the excitement
the sailors concerned in the affair eS-
capped the parties sent out to arrest
them. The ships company was assem-
bled and the master-at-arms failed to
respond. 1t is not known what became
of him. One report has it that he was
not on the ship at the time of the ex-
plosion.
No one was admitted to the navy
and attendant circumstances were Sc
cured from outside sources. The in
jured are said to number from four to
seven.

Independent Operators Break
the Schedule in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Sept 4-Independent
anthracite coal operators have broken
prices below those fixed by the railroad
coal companies and local retail dealers
are privately soliciting business at 25
cents a ton under the ruling prices. The
significance of these facts is that the
present supply of anthracite coal of this

exceeds the demand.
An official of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal & Iron company said to-
day that independent coal is being sold
to retail dealers in Philadelphia and at
other points anywhere from to %
cents a ton below circular prices
At various line points it is said that
underselling by independent operators
has closed the demand for company
coal so that the railroad coal companies
have found it necessary to turn their
coal to other markets. So far no steps
have been taken to check the independ-

RACY DIVORCE
 CASE PENDING
MINNIE 5ENsE WANTS sEPARA.
 TON FROM HUSBAND

Petition for Divorce Gives Grounds as
 Extreme CrueIty-Defendant En-
 tered Room Through Window
 The next term of the district court at Tombstone will have a sensational divorce case, the principals to which are both well known in this city.
 Yesterday Constable Doyle served on Charles Bense the necessary pa pers, informing him that his wife, Minnie Bense. feels that she has just cause for desiring a legal separation from him.
 The grounds alleged in the petition for divorce are eN:reme cruelty, which if told in the courtroom will be racy testimony. The plaintiffs attor. ney, s. A. Merritt. stated yesterday that it will be brought ow.
 Several nights ago the local officers were called to the Bense cottage down the canyon, by a messenger, who said that Charles Bense was there and had shotgun. with which he might do his wife injury.
 An officer weLJ to the place in the middle of the night, and found all quiet there. The shotgun was stand. ing in a corner of one Of the rooms. Bense did not seem to be about to kill any one.
 The entrance of Bense to the bed. room of the house was out of the or. dlnary. Instead of entering through the door he jumped through a win. dow, carrying screen, glass and all With him. He is alleged to have landed in the middle of the room with the shotgun in his hands.
 The cause which led Bense to make this kind of an entrance to his house IS reported to be suspicion that all was not right on the inside. Attorney Merit said that he did not think Bense had any cause for this action and that the step he took was all due to mistaken idea on his part.
 One of the effects this suit is ex pected to have is the tieing up ot Bense's property until the divorce suit IS settled in or out of court.
