NOTHING NEW IN KNIGHT CASE

commissioners, with the idea Of having q
reward offered for the discovery OF the
body OF Mrs. knight. We believe that II
she has been murdered the body has been
buried, and that perhaps at some distance
from the city"
One new point has come to light to
strengthen the opinion OF those who be-
lieve Mrs. knight to have been murdered.
It seems that Malvin Dusenberry, who is
a prisoner at the city Jail, has given the
information that on Saturday night, April
4, during the afternoon OF which day Mrs.
Knight disappeared, Knight came to his
(Dusenberry's) house at 10:30 o'clock and
walked him up, in order to get the use Of a
horse and spring wagon which Dusenberry
uses in collecting secondhand iron and
clothes. The prisoner said that Knight
had an agreement with him for two weeks
that he should have the use of the wagon
some night. Dusenberry says he got the
horse and wagon for Knight and went to
bed. Knight returned with the key some
time In the morning, about o'clock. The
police are inclined to believe that Dusen-
berry was with knight during the wagon
journey, whatever that was undertaken for

Wilkesbarre. Pa. July If. - Three
men killed and two seriously hurt, T..
gether with three buildings destroyed,
is the result of an explosion at the
Latin powder works at Latin. The
noise of the explosion was heard in
Wilkesbarre. and in Pittston windows
and dishes ratified as II an earthquake
had occurred. and small buildings were
shaken. The scene of the powder
plant is one Of devastation and de-
struction, the force OF the explosion
shook every house i'm the town OF
Laiiin. The people knew what had
happened and paths leading to the
scene were soon lined with excited
throngs hurrying to the mill.
The dead are Alexander Moore. Of
Latin, died in about five minutes from
burns; Joseph Gray OF Pittston, blown
to pieces; Arthur Gray, son of Joseph
Gray.
The injured are Thomas Haines, OF

The explosion occurred in what &c
called the press. There were three
building about 100 feet apart-the
press, in which the powder was com
pressed into a solid mass; the barrel
mill, in which the powder was mixed.
and the corning mill, in which tae
powder was ground into grain ready
for market
The men killed were in the press
mill at the time OF the explosion. and
no one can tell what caused il, though
there is a theory that Il was caused
by friction from some of the machin.
cry. The three buildings were totally
demolished, and the engine and boiler
rooms, situated a long distance away
from the scene of the explosion, wer.
also wrecked.
The bodies of Moore and Arthur
