ONeill, the California actress has
once more come into possession of
her $4,000 diamonds, and this is no
press agents story.
The diamonds have crossed the

touch them. This privilege was de-
MED her until day or two ago.
In 1892, when Miss o'Neill made
such disastrous failure in London,
she was obliged to leave her jewels
with a London bank as security for
expense money to carry herself and
company back to America.
Misfortune followed her to San
Francisco. where, after a series of
disasters. beginning with the loss in
the Theater Republic fire of many
valuable costumes and curios, which
she had secured in her triumphant
tour of Australia, she found herself
without sufficient means to go East.

her.
While in the depths of despair she
prevailed upon ]. ]. Rauer of this

don to inspect the jewels, and being
satisfied with the report he paid the
claim of the bank, and took posses,

With this money Miss O'Neill paid

once again before the footlights. She
has secured four months engage

TERRIFIC
POWDER
EXPLOSION
Gun Charge on BattIeShip
Missouri Causes Awful
Loss of Lives

Pensacola, Fla, April 14.-By the
explosion Of 200 pounds Of powder in
the after 12-inch turret and the
handling-room of the battleship Mis-
souri, Captain William S. CowleS
commanding, yesterday afternoon, 29
men being instantly killed, and FIVE
injured, of whom two will die.
This is the most serious accident
that has occurred in the American
navy since the blowing up of the
Maine in Havana harbor in 1898.
The Missouri was on the target
range with the Texas and Brooklyn at
practice, about noon, when a charge
of powder in the 12-inch left-hand
gun ignited from gasses, exploded,
and, dropping below, ignited four
charges of powder in the handling
room, and all exploded. Only one
man of the entire turret and handling
crew survived.
But for the prompt and efficient ac
tion OF Captain Cowles in flooding the
handling-room and magazine with
water, one of the magazines would
have exploded, and the ship would
have been destroyed.
Before the fumes of the burning
powder had left the turret, officers
and men we're laying out the dead and
dying men. Three minutes after the
explosion all were or deck, and the
surgeons from the Missouri, Texas
and Brooklyn were attending to those
not dead. The 25 men Of the turret
were found lying in heap. They had

This time to Toronto. 1t was the third
game lost by the home team this week
out of four played. Even the one it won

the Champions twice. Now yesterday
the tailenders went up against the Ori-

were routed in two games by the Toron-

him. Barnett was in the box for the
home team. He was miserably support

do. Much depends upon a short stop.

of the heavy sluggers. III the opening in

of them doubles, and they scored three
runs. But they were shut out for the
rest of the game until the ninth, when
by desperate effort they managed to
add two more runs to their score; but

would have greatly preferred that the
wedding should have ben more orthodox.
The bridegroom is a popula clerk in
the Chelsea bank, ThirtyAfourth street
and Eighth avenue, Manhattan.
