One Man Was Killed and Three
Were Injured.
Punxsutawney, Pa, Aug. 31.-Eight
hundred kegs of powder exploded to-day
in the press room of the Latin &
Rand Powder Works. two miles east
of here, instantly killing one man, seri-
ously injuring three others and caus-
ing costly destruction of property.
The dead:
Leonard Bair, 81 years old.
The injured:
Lot Bair, superintendent of the press
mill, will probably recover.
William Van Dyke, engineer, prob
ably recover.
Sheridan Calhoun, boiler tender be-
leved to be fatally hurt.
The press room, which was about for
ty feet square, was totally destroyed
Leonard Bair was in the building at
the time of the explosion. When his
body was recovered among the ruins
part of his head had been literally
blown away No other part of his body
was in the least mutilated.
Three other men were in an engine
room 200 feet away from the press
room. Each was severely cut and
bruised by pieces Of flying debris, and
all were knocked unconscious by the
terrific force of the explosion. other
buildings in the factory enclosure were
wrecked, and every building within a
mile of the powder works was dam
aged. The residence of Powder Boss
Speno, 1000 feet from the plant, was
ruined.
The cause of the explosion will prob
ably never be known, as Bair was the
only man in the building at the time.

HILL TALKS OF
THE POSTAL FRAUDS
ARTICLE IN A MAGAZINE
WAS INSPIRED, HILL SAYS, AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.

Former senator Discusses william
Allen whites Article on "How
ROOscvelt Uncovered the Postal
Frauds''-RidicuIes the Claim nnd
shows Serious Charge Made
Against Senator'S Depew and Plate
in One Portion of Article.
Bingaamton. N. Y. Aug 31.-For-
mer Senator David b. Hill was the
guest to-day Of the Broome County
Fair, which is being held at Whitney
Point, and delivered an address.
Mr.. Hill briefly discussed the tariff
and said THE Democratic platform was
silent upon the money question be-
cause that question was settled The
almost unanimous approval by the
convention of Judge Parker's telegram
operated virtually as an amendment
of the platform in accordance with
it's terms, and the new platform
necessarily superseded and eliminated
all previous national platforms.
The present campaign on the part
of the Republicans, the ex-senator de-
clared, lis one of humbug and false
retenses-pecuHarly Rooseveltish in
all it's essential characteristics.
Mr.. Hill cited a magazine article by
William Allen White on the subject
of How Roosevelt Uncovered the Pos
tai Frauds" He said that it was an
effort to impress the people that the
President was not responsible for the
postal frauds i'm his administration,
nd E1tf 41,s.k,r 4 L..
neglect to prosecute them, he was
really the exalted instrument which
exposed them. If the article was not
dictated at the White House, the
speaker declared, it was at least in
spired there. 1t would fail of its pur-
pose, however, because it is not true
| because it has been embellished for
political effect and will not stand the
test of examination
In extollng the President" the for
mer Senator went on, IAN attack is
made upon the two United States SEN
| ators from this state-Messrs Platt
| and Depew-who were active Republic
cans before either Mr.. White or Mr..
| Roosevelt were born.
Here is what is said:
| When it. (the investigation touch
| ed the Presidents friend and political
sponsor, State Senator Green of Bing-
hamton. N. r., and when he was about
to be indicted for crookedness, the two
! senator's from New York and eveHl
1 prenflnent Republican IA Tie @tals beeA
i ged for mercy, and then threatened
President Roosevelt for allowing Bris-
tow to indct Green
IF true; this is a most serious accu-
sation. 1t virtually accuses our two
Republican United States senators and
also every prominent Republican in
the state with a crime. But it uplifts
| Roosevelt, and be apparently delights
to be exalted at the expense of others.

Montreal, Aug. 31.-Nine persons
we're killed and twentythree others
injured in a head-on collision on the
Grand Trunk Railway near Rich
nond. Quebec, to-day.
The trains involved were a special
excursion from Montreal bound for
sherbrooke and passenger train No.
= running between Island Pond,
VI and Montreal. The collision, it
is claimed, was due to neglect of or
ders on the part of the train crew of
the excursion train, which left Rich
mond without awaiting the arrival of
the passenger train.
The excursion train was running as
the first section of the regular Grand
Trunk Portland Express, which usual
ly crosses the Island Pond train at
Richmond and was running on its
time. This makes it all the more in
explicable why Conductor Atkinson, in
charge of the excursion train, did not
wait to make the usual crossing. At
kinson disappeared shortly after the
wreck occurred.
The excursion train, made up of ten
coaches and baggage car, carried
about LOCO persons bound for the ex-
hibition at Sherbrooke. The Island
Pond train was composed of five
coaches and a baggage car, and had
only a small number of passengers.
The excursion train had barely clear
ed the Richmond yard, when, round
ing a curve, it met the Island Pond
train running at high rate of speed.
Both engineers reversed, and, with
their firemen jumped, escaping with
minor injuries.
The shock of the collision was plain
" heard in Richmond, more than a
mile away. Both engines were lock-
ed firmly together. The baggage car
of the excursion train was picked up
and dropped on top of the car fol-
lowing it, a smoker, and it was IN
these two cars that the greater num-
Der of fatalities occurred. fe
