SHORT NEARLY 100000
ACCOUNTS OF A SECRETARY AL
LEGGED TO BE MUCH TANGLED.
Building and Loan Associations at
CircIeville, o., Reported to he
Sufferers i'm Large Sums.

CIRCLEVILLE, o.. Jan. 17.-Investiga-
tion discloses that G.. Christie Bayer, late
secretary of the Germania, the New Citi-
zens' and the Circleville building and loan
associations, is short in his accounts from
100000 to 100000. Bayer disappeared on
Jan. and his whereabouts are unknown.
Examiners sent here by the state inspector
of building and loan associations have been
at work on Bayers books for nearly two
weeks. Their work is not yet completed,
but the approximate shortage has been de-
termined. Bayer's accounts with the New
Citizens company are $4,000 short with the
Germania nearly $4,000 and with the Cir
cleville Building and Loan Association be-
tween 5000 and $1,000.
Application was made TO the courts this
afternoon for a receiver for the New Citi-
zens' company and II. b. Weaver was ap-
pointed. The greatest excitement prevails
here over the developments in the case.
Bayer was one of the most highly respected
citizens of Circleville. He was a veteran
of the civil war and prominent in Grand
Army circles. Last fall he was elected
clerk of courts, but had not yet taken
Office. After leaving Circleville on Jan. 6
Bayer was seen in Columbus, but since that
time no trace of him has been found.

OFFICERS AND CREW COOL
AVERTED GREATER DISASTER BY
FLOODING THE TURRET.
Further Explosions Prevented by Men
who Carried Powder Charges Away
from Immediate Danger.

SAN JUAN, z. r., jan 17.-Six men are
dead and three injured, two of them prob
ably fatally, as a result of the explosion
OF a powder charge of an eight-inch gun
on board the United States battleship
Massachusetts yesterday morning, while at
target practice off Culebra island. Details
of the explosion were obtained when the
Massachusetts, arrived here to-day. The
explosion occurred in the starboard after
oight-inch turret, shortly before noon. and
was due to the accidental discharge of
percussion primer while the breech of the
gun was open. The full charge exploded
I'm the turret and killed or injured all the
crew of the gun. numbering nine men. En-
sign Ward X. Wertman, who was in charge
of the turret, escaped uninjured, though he
was standing near the scene of the explo-
sion.
Magnificent discipline was Immediately
shown by the officers and crew. Captain
Lee, commanding the marine guard of the
vessel. and Ensign Clarence Adele imme-
diately flooded the turrat with water, and
Lieut.. Charles F. Hughes and Gunner
Kuhlwein went below to the magazine,
picking up powder charges and prevent
ing further explosions, while Lieut.. Will
liam c. Cole and Gun Captain Soneman en-
tered the turret and withdrew the charge
from the other gun, whose breach was
open. The survivors of the guns crew,
when rescued. were burned mutiIated and
nearly dead. One man whose clothing was
on fire jumped overheard. In less than a
minute after the explosion three streams
of water were pouring into the turret,
preventing the charge in the other eight
inch gun from exploding
a funeral service for the men who met
their death in the explosion was held this
afternoon on board the Massachusetts,
Chaplain Wright officiating. Afterward a
procession was formed on shore and pro-
: ceeded to. the Military Cemetery of Porto
Rico. where the interment took place. The
regimental band of the garrison of Porto
Rico took part in the ceremony. Admiral
Higginson and the officers OF the Massachu-
setts were at the grave, where military
honors, and also Masonic honors for one of
the dead, were done.
Coxswain Tacke, one of the injured, died
this afternoon. The condition of Appren-
tice Schert and Seaman Bassett has become
worse, and it is thought these men will not
survive. Seaman Patterson is doing well,
and it is expected that he will recover.

J. H. TILLMAN'S VICTIM.
Editor Gonzales Believed to Have n
Bare Chance for Recovery.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 17-After a day
OF anxiety on the part of the friends of
Editor N. G. Gonzales, who was shot and
sorely wounded by Lieutenant Governor
James H. Tillman on Thursday afternoon,
reports received tonight from the hospital
where the wounded man is confined give
some hopes. though they are not assuring
of his Improvement and possible recovery
DR.. W. Gill Wiley, OF New York, who was
called into consultation in the case and
who has been in attendance since yester-
day morning, left this afternoon for Rock
Hill, stating that he was better satisfied
with the condition of Mr.. Gonzales than he
had been at any time since he first had
him.
The friends of Gonzales are positive that
there was no cause for the act of Tillman
beyond such provocation given
months ago, and they consider that the
whole story is told in the facts already re-
lated 1t is understood and generally be-
lieved that Tillman will claim that he
thought Gonzales was armed and intended
shooting at him and that he was justified
in this belief by the fact that Gonzales
had his hands in his pockets and was ap-
preaching him and felt an enmity toward
him which might lead to mortal conflict
At o'clock this Sunday morning Mr..
Gonzales was resting quietly, with occa-
sional attacks of nauseau. His general
condition is unchanged.

E. 0. W0LCOTT'S APPEAL
COLORADO REPUBLICAN SENATORS
ASKED TO UNSEAT DEMOCRATS.
Urged to Expel Seventeen Members
from ArapahO Characterization
by Democrats Threatened.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 17.-Former United
States Senator Edward o. Wolcott, who is
a candidate for election to the seat now
held by Henry NJ. Teller, has issued an APP
peal to the Republican members of the
House to unite and expel seventeen Demo-
cratic members whose seats are contested.
Otherwise, he declares, Democrat will be

teen members of the House who are sup
porting Wolcott have signed an agreement
that they will vote first, last and all the
time for him for United States senator and
will not cast vote for any other candi-
date.
Representative Frewen, the wolcott
leader in the House. has served oral per-
emptory notice on Chairman Brecxinridge
of the House committee on privileges and
elections, to the effect that unless the COM
seating all the Democratic members from
Arapahoe county, and unless the vote on
unseatlng the fifteen men be made jointly
instead OF separately, the Wolcott men will
not vote to seat a single Republican.
All the Democratic senators but one have
pledged themselves to unseat Republican
senator for every Democratic member of
the House unseated, man for man, so long
as Republican senators remain upon whom
retaliation can be had.
Concerning this proposed policy of retail
iation, Mr.. Woicott in his address to the
Republicans saws: '"The Threatened i'm
portation into the Senate by Democrats of
the bloody methods which have forever
blackened the good name of the State of
kentucky must not swerve u.s..
If the Republican factions fail to get to-
gether Senator Teller will be reelected or a
deadlock will result, which may prevent an
election Oh senator at this session.

The Hamburg-American liner Pennsylya-

that on Jan L., in latitude 45:35. longitude

ing very slowly The Pennsylvania steamed
close to her and asked the difficulty. on
GERS OF the ST. Louis replied that her boil
ers were leaking and sent boat alongsiGc.
I'm charge of the first officer, with letters
from the passengers. The officer reported
that the st. Lous's boilers were leaking
badly and that the vessel could only steam
five miles an hour in fine weather. They
had on board only eight days provisions
and water and all we're In good health.
The steamer required no assistance When
she was sighted this morning the marine
station at Sandy Hook displayed signal

from a large number of our local unions,
and in nearly every instance the miners
tell me that the production of coal cannot
be increased through any effort of theirs
that in most cases the companies are fail
ing to furnish them as many cars as they
would load. In other words. the regular
turn of cars will not amount to as much
as the men are accustomed, and willing to
load, so that they cannot increase the out
put of the mines. There may be in some
few cases. they say, that they could, and
have agreed to do so''
Maj. Everett Warren, of Scranton, who
represents several coal companies before
the commission, interrupted Mr.. Mitchell
and requested him to bring proof for war
ranting the assertions just made. The
companies, he said, had information to the
contrary, and they would show that the
many cars as they can be furnished with.
1900 MEN WITHOUT WORK.
In reply to this Mr.. Mitchell said: 'I am
not attempting, of course, to testify as a
witness in the matter. am giving the
sources of my information in each case.
do not say this for the purpose Of placing
the responsibility on anybody else. The
fact of the matter is, my information
would indicate that it is impossible to move
more coal. The miners tell me the tracks
are congested with loaded cars of coal at
the mines. / want to say this in connection
with it: We have 1900 men who were on
strike that have so far been refused the
right to work. They are ready to mine
coal. There is a shortage of coal in the
country, and L believe that both the miners
and the operators are doing what they can
to get ii out of the mines. but they at least
can increase it to the extent of putting our
5000 men at work, whom they agreed to
start to work. We have waited patiently
since the date of resumption for our men
to be placed back in the mines. We believe
they ought to be given work. We do not
want to. and will not cause. trouble at the
mines, but will do all we can to prevent it.
But 1 want the commission to understand
that the men who have been idle all this
time are getting impatient. They are writ
ing every day asking if something cannot
be done to secure them work in the mines.
They are charged, of course, with being
criminals. 1t is alleged they left their jobs
and all that. but IL they are going TO have
a term of peace for some years In the an
thracite field it seems to me they ought to
stop fighting now, and that any desire to
punish men by the companies ought to
cease We are willing and anxious to get
along In harmony with those in the coal
fields, and will do all we can to establish
good relationship there, and We hope the
coal operators will meet US half way In
doing that"
