Speaking The Presidents name with
the Fasteners infection, Grover
Cleveland. ex president OF the United
States, greeted the presentexecutive.
He was upon the steps OF the main
entrance to the home of D. R. Fran
els last night at Gas O'Clock.
1t was meeting ofcontrasts. Men
of oppositive physique, of opposite
political bealsefs. of opposite mental
characteristics, alike only in that
they delight In getting away from
the cares o. oftsoe or business to &c
hunting or fishing, and in that the
ehiefest trust in the gift of the Amer.
lean people has been vested in each;
men who are the very foremost in
the public arena, gripping hands un.
ner the shadow Of the home OF a
third man-one atthefront OF affairs
in the west and OF whom it is otter
said that be may be honored as hi
two guests have been.
Cleveland and Roosevelt entered
the Francis residence together. By

A Dynamite Explosion.

Altoona, Pa, April 30-There was
an explosion Of dynamite at tire
works of the Cresson Powder compa-
ny near Williamsburg, Blair county,
to-day, killing six workmen and in.
juring many Others. There was
another explosion two hours later.
The buildings caught fire and probs-
bly, will be destroyed. The manager
OF the works is among the injured.
The force OF the explosion shattered
every window in the town OF WILL
iamsburg.
In the magazines and storehouses
Of the factory are l, 400 blocks OF ex.
plosives, and it is feared the greatest
explosions are yet to come. The
Piney Creek branch Of the Pennsyl.
vania railroad runs past the factory
and because OF the danger the rail.
road company has refused to allow
any trains to pass over this branch.
Fourteen men and sixteen women
were employed in the factory which
was destroyed. Most Of them were
brought from Pittsburg. They are
regarded as experts in the manuiac-
ture Of powder. The women manag.
ed to escape from the building before
the explosion came. All were cut
and burned.

A TOWN SAVED BY A TRAIN.
Special 0utran a Forest Fire With
Simpson, Pa, Inhabitants Aboard

Simpson, Pa, Inhabitants Aboard
Braddock, Pa, April 30.-The
worst forest fires in the history OF
this section of Pennsylvania are in
progress tonight, a million dollars
worth Of property has been Destroy
ed. Several towns have been burned.
The inhabitants OF Simpson, Pa,
were rescued by Especial train, which
took all on board and outran the
flames.
The forest at Simpson is thick and
many oil wells are located there, SO
that the fire ragged with fierce intens-
ity. On both sides OF the railroad
the woods were a mass of flames,
which swept over an area OF two
miles, taking everything in it's path.
Residents OF that section lost all their
belongings. The latest advices from
that point state that the town OF
Simpson is destroyed, and it is feared
some have persisted in the flames.
Jacksonville, ten miles south of this
city, is reported destroyed, and it is
feared that a number of lives have
been lost. The last word from Wat.
sonville was about 2 o'clock. At
that time the fire was on all sides Of
the place and the people we're fearful
OF being burned to death, as there
was no avenue OF escape. ALI wires
are down in that direction.
The town OF Mount Jewett was
threatened with destruction this
afternoon, but by heroic efforts was
saved. Not, however, until several
buildings were burned. Fires are re-
ported from all sections and any
number Of lumber camps and chem
| icai factories are in ashes.
The forests nave been ablaze Tor
the past week, but the fires were kept
under control by large gangs Of men
until about ten O'Clock this morning
when stiff north wind sprang up
and famed the smoulderlng embers
into q roaring mass OF flames.

ST. LOUIS IS FRANCIS MAD.
The Worlds Fair Has Put Him
to the Front For 1904.

st. Louis. April 30.-St. Louis has
gone Francis mad. Such a remark
able charge in local ssntimentproh
bly, has never been witnessed In such
a briei period Of time. All along the
line OF the dazzling procession to day
could be seen pictures OF the Worlds
Fair president. Cleveland pictures
we're scarce. Roosevelt pictures were
numerous, as was to have been ex-
pected. Butt there were scarcely more
portraits OF Roosevelt than OF
Francis pictures. 1t was as much OF
a Francis day as 1t was Roosevelt's.
What made the display all the more
noticeable was the fact that the
Francis pictures were Of all shapes,
sorts. kinds and descriptions. Some
we're cut from newspapers. Others
we're on flags and pieces OF bunting.
There were pictures onpieces OF mus
lin. Hundreds Of this variety were
displayed. Apoor picture of Francis
was considered better than none at
all. This was the only excuse for a
majority OF them. Francis pictures
we're displayed in the windows OF the
handsomest homes, as well as from
the apartment and tenement build
ings, the saloons and smaller bust
ness places.
"What does this Francis demon
stra ton mean?" a local newspaper
man who isn't a Francis admirer,
was asked.
at has all come about since the
European trip" was his reply.
,"Within week st. Louis seemed to
have awakened to the fact that
Francis has done remarkable things.
1t is beginning to look upon him as
a Presidential possibility"
There are still Worlds Fair and
Francis knockers in st. Louis. One
lhears them on street corners and in
every gathering where more than
three persons are assembled. But
the knockers hardly appear to be In
the majority. One year ago it was
unusual to hear a complimentary
word said for Francis. He was dis
tinctly unpopular with the masses.
The kind OF things that were said
about him the newspapers never
countenanced. But Francis has ap-
parently fought them down, and
seems in a fair way to quiet the kick
ers OF large and small caliber.
Now they say that Francis is a
promoter, rather than a manager.
At the dinner given at the Univer-
sity club last night by the Princeton
alumni, Cleveland was a guest and
sat by Francis. The president Of the
Worlds Fair took occasion to ex-
travagantly eulogize Cleveland. He
spoke as il Cleveland were absent.
"Of course, il he were present." said
Mr.. Francis, 81 would not say these
things"
Cleveland and Francis are on the
same terms OF intimacy which for.
merly marked their association. st.
Louis hopes that something more
than display of mutual friendship
will result from this meeting. 1t has
come to look for results. There has
been nothing aside from the idlest
sort of gossip to indicate that Cleve-
land has Presidential aspirations.
He has assumed an unusual interest
, in politics and beyond all question
proposes to be a factor in the next
national convention. II he has de-
termined to get into the thick OF the
fight once more and is willing to do
something for somebody else he has
made n good beginning in behalf Of
David r. Francis.

Many Skeletons In a Desert.

Imperial, CAL, April 29.-Five hu.
man skeletons have just been found
on the east side Of the Salton river,
making eighteen found recently in

lieved that these persons persisted
from thirst as many have been lost
