Picked Up at Sea.

After IS hours in an open boat six
men OF the Philadelphia schooner
Emily 81. Naylor were rescued by the
steamer Grenada which arrived at
New York Friday. The Naylor was
abandoned about 800 miles from Ber-
muda after a hopeless struggle with
the hurricane which passed up the
coast. Her sails had been ripped
away by the wind, her foreboom
broken and water was pouring into
her hold in a food through the centre
board bcx when the crew got away in
the life boat leaving all their personal
effects behind. They had been drift
ing about for Is h-urs when sighted
by the Grenada. Their hurried de-
paroure left no time to provision the
lifeboat and the men were in oesper-
ate straits when the Grenada came to
their assistance. The Naylor was
under command OF Capt. John F.
Wilson and left New York in ballast,
Nov. I, for a Virginia port. The
schooner was of Hog Island, Va,
when the storm struck her.

FOUR MEN KILLED
and Several Fatally Injured by an *.
plosion of Gas.
NINE TERRIFIC DECORATIONS.
The Dead Buried Under Tons or Burn
ing Timbers and bot Bricks
and Iron Make Their
Removal Difficult.

At Chicago four persons were killed
and score Of others were injured oy
a series Of Gas explosions that com
pletely destroyed the plant OF the
Pyle Electric Headlight company In
South Chicago Friday. The shocks OF
the explosion were so severe that all
the buildings near the demolished
plant were badly damaged, windows
we're shattered for blocks and persons
walking in the streets were thrown
from their feet. Over pressure on
tanks containing gas is believed to
have caused the accident. The dead
are:
Ralph Wells, superintendent for the
Pyle Electric Headlight company.
Amos Watkins, assistant superin-
tendent for same company.
George Muehl, craftsman, employed
by the Peoples Gas Light company.
Thomas Jennings, employed by the
Pyle Electric Headlight company.
The fatally injured: W. NJ. Ma
loney, blown from third floor of build
ing; body crushed. Alfred Cox, inter-
nally injured.
Many persons who we're walking in
the street near the plant were hurt
by Il: ing pisces of debris and were
taken to their homes in carriages be.
fore their names could be learned.
All Of the dead were buried under
tons OF burning timbers and hot
bricks and iron, making it impossible
to remove their bodies for hours after
the accident occurred. Firenen
poured water on the portion CT the
building in which the dead were
thought to be buried. The flames
we're subdued sufficiently to permit Of
the four dead bodies being removed
from the debris.
The scene OF the explosion is the
old Hyde Park gas plant, which passed
into the hands Of the Peoples Gas
and Light company several years age,
with the consolidation OF the gas in
terests in Chicago. Through lease
the big plant is occupied partly by
the Pyle National Electric Headlight
com panv, which is largely engaged in
supplying illumination TO: railroad
coaches. This i,luninaro IS forced
into small retorts which when at
tached under the floor OF a Car, will
supply it With light for months. In
order t. make this possible the re-
torts are subjected to an extremely
high pressure. II was such tank
that caused the first explosion. With
out wlrniog of any kind it burst.
Amid the dsbrs workmen were blown
out Of the structure far into the
street about the building. Before
anyone realized what had hap
pened retort after retort exploded in
such rapid succession that it was al
most impossible to distinguish the
detonations. There were nine such
explosions in all, which left the plant
in flames. Hard fighting on the part
OF fully hundred fremen finally SUBJ
dued the flames.
The total loss caused by the accident
is estimated at SIS, ,00O.

The Socialist Vote.

The socialist vote is growing
rapidly. TIE committee claims that
the returns show an increase of be-
tween 500 and 800 per cent, since
DebS was candidate for president in
1900. The total vote then was 81
$50 throughout the country, and this
year they say it is between 100000
and 500, 600. The principal gain was
in Illinois, where four years ago the
state gave 1857 votes, and this year
about IS. 900, OF which $4,000 votes
came from Chicago. New York state
holds the second place with from 49,
000 to $4,000 for Debs, comparing
with -, 500 in 1900. In Greater New
York Debs got % 6l6 votes, against
8, 2iI in 1900 The vote fell of badly
in Massachusetts,.

Philip Maultry, a German barber
and florist, formerly OF Spartanourg
and afterwards Of Atlanta, but fer
the past four years proprietor OF the
Wrgnts Hotel barber shop and pool
room in Columbia, committed suicide
Tues3ay night in peculiar circun-
stances.
His body was found early Wednes
day morning by his family lyirg stlff
on his LETT side in bed with quarter
inch cord twisted about his neck by
means OF a six-inch stick, the end OF
which was stuck under his undershirt
down his back In such way as to
strangle him. His head vas in his
hand between his knees. Els face
was purple, and though his body was
partially stiff it was still bit VAIN.
He was ifty-fye years old and a
man Of family, but occupied a spesate
room from bis wife on account of suf-
feripg from asthma. His wife last
saw him Tuesday night at 10 O'Clock
when he asked to be left to himself
earlier than usual. The blanket was
tucked in over his shoulders and there
was no evidence of violence nor yet OF
struggle.
The family gave ont that death re-
suited from natural causes, and the
physicians signed a certificate to the
effect that death resulted from aSphx-
iation, but be told the coroner that 1t
was q clear case Of suicide. The cor
oner said he would hold no inquest.
Maultry had been more despondent
than usual recently on account OF his
asthma, and the fact that writer's
cramp with which he had been suffer
..1g Tor some time was growing worse.
Several OF his BARRIERS left him re-
Gently. Yet so far as can be diScov-
cred he had never threatened to take
his own life, and though he had lost
much money in his florist business his
finances, his brother-in-law, who runs
his pool room, said this morning, were
in particularly good shape now.

From New York communication
with the West was established by

day morning. This vas accomplished
by the long distance telephone be-

restricted service was begun.
It developed that Washington was
in comunication with the West, and
news from New York to Washington
was secured by a very circuitous route.
From New York the wire Sas used to

JAP DESTROYER SUNK.
Daring Russian Stole Upon Japanese
Ship Under Cover Of Night.

Ship Under Cover Of Night.
The Port Arthur newspaper, Novi-
krai, Of November II, copies OF which
brought to Chefoo Friday morning by
the Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Rcstoropny, prints briefs details OF q
daring exploit which resulted in the
sinking Of :. four -funnelled japanese
torpedo boat destroyer.
japanese torpedo boats and one de-
stroyer were engaged in removing
mines, mostly their OWN, from Tache
mines, mostly their own, from Tache
Bay, on November 8. Midshipuau
Dimitrieff conceived the idea that he
could torpedo the Japanese boats under
cover Of darkness as the latter we're
very busy and enjoying fancied Sc
curity. It was the very audacity OF
the plan, the Noyikrai says, that made
it successful.
Securing a steam launch from the
battleship Retvlzan, one carrying a
torpedo tube and acc, mpanied by half
a dozen silent volunteers, Midshipman
Dimitrieff, in the dense darkness slip
ped out of the harbor and succeeded In
evading the japanese searchlightS
Cifcling around the japanese boats
with the launch moving at top speed,
the midshipman came within striking
distance from the seaward side and
launched his projectile. 1t sped
through the water to the destroyer.
There was sudden explosion and the
destroyer sank Immediately.
The launch then sped towards the
harbor. but was not pursued, the jap
anese evidently not having observed
the launch and thinking that the de-
stroyer had struck one Of their OVID
mines.
Midshipnan Dimitrief is the hero
Of the day at Port Arthur, according
to the paper.
