The Explosion st Glendale.

A car loaded with twenty-seven tons of explosives, consisting of half powder and half dynamite, exploded, miraculously without fatality, Friday evening, on the Santa Fe, Prescott X Phoenix, near Glendale, and when within eight miles of Phoenix.
 The car was the third from the en- zine, and the head brakeman (the train was south-bound mixed) saw that the powder car was in a blaze. Be- fore anything could be done the explo- sion came. The effect was terrific. Where the car had been was opened chasm ten feet deep and fifty feet in diameter. The car was reduced to splinters. Four cars loaded with coal and merchandise were destroyed by the explosion and subsequent fire. Next to the powder car was carload of railroad spikes; the spikes were scattered over the country for a mile. The rest of the train, half-dozen cars, were more or less damaged, but were saved by the trainmen and the farm CTS who hastily gathered.
 Singularly there were no fatalities. Engineer Chambers and Fireman Shipp were thrown out of the cab but on different side. The brakeman had his clothes torn from him. All were bruised, but nothing worse.
 In the caboose were a half-dozen passengers who were tumbled to the floor and more or less injured. The most painfully hurt was B. A. Stark, of Phoenix, who had some of his teeth knocked out, and was otherwise badly bruised.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.
Board of taualization Finishes the June Business Railroads faxed at aa As
 sessed Valuation of $s.OOO . Mile.

The territorial board of equaliza- tion Saturday finished the business of the June meeting, and adjourned.
 The total assessed valuation of rail- road property in this territory for 1903 is s6, 449, ,552. 7S, being an increase of sl, 45l, llS.46 over that for 1902. This increase is due to the exemption expiring under which the Gila Valley, Globe X Northern, United Verde X Pacific, and 20.3 miles of the Fl PasO & Southwestern railroads were con- structed, and to the amount of taxes to be paid by the Santa Fe Pacific railroad company, whose road is to be taxed at the rate of Sl75 per mile of main track. This is the tax fixed by act of congress, approved June 27, 1902, and it is estimated that this tax is equivalent to an assessed valuation of 5000 per mile.
 In the cases of the Gila Valley, Globe x Northern, the United Verde, and that part of the Fl Paso x South western between Bisbee and Ben- son, whose periods of exemption did not expire until last March, the statements of the roads were &C., cepted, and it was agreed between them and the board that though they could not be taxed for only part of a year, the assessment would be made on basis of nine months, though it was understood that it should be to cover the whole year. The valuations as to these roads are therefore appar- ently lower than those of the other roads. The mileage of taxable rail- road property is 1879 miles more than last year-l7s.9 miles were added by new property, but one mile was deduct ed in the case of the Arizona x New Mexico railroad, which has made a cutoff causing the difference.
 The following is statement of the work:

To the election Of the Pope the Cardinals

The Cardinals are reported 10 have asked
for direct decentralization, 40 that the settle

rated and also that authority be dele
gated to the Cardinals whose dioceses are
furthest away from Rome, in iorder that
affairs of minor Importance might be adj
justed.
The foreign Cardinals, in addition, are
said to have proposed the nomination of
an international commission, whose duty
1t would be 10 manage the funds accrning
from Peters Pence. The Cardinals are
said to have pointed out that when the Pope
possessed temporal power he had revenues
of his own, which he could administer as
he thought best.
