Boiler ExpIodes with Fatal Result

Philadelphia, Jan. A locomotive
on the Reading Railway exploded near
Woodbourne today, killing Frank Austin,
the fireman, and fatally injuring the
engineer, Alfred Finger, and brakeman.
Harry Selects. The engine. which was
drawing a train of "a loaded cars, left
Philadelphia at midnight, bound for
Trenton, N. j. About two miles beyond
Woobourne the boiler without warning
blew up and Austin was carried $50 feet
by the force of the explosion. He was
instantly killed. Selects, who was also
on the engine, was found lying un-
conscious alongside the track 100 feet
away. He cannot recover Engineer
Finger was also blown some distance
from the engine. His injuries will also
doubtless prove fatal.

More Victims of the Holocaust
Chicago, Jan. 1.-Two more were
added to the list of victims Of the Iro-
quis disaster yesterday by the death of
Miss Rita Wild, teacher, and Leroy
Reinhold. four year old. This increases
the number of victims to $50. In a
darkened cottage on Lyman avenue there
is left no one to mourn for four lives that
were lost in the Iroquois horror or for
the head of the household who has been
missing since the night of the disaster.
Sympathizing neighbors are caring for
ten months old baby, all that is left of
the family of Fred Pond, who until re-
Gently was an employe of the Deering
Harvester works. Mrs. Pond, her two
children and Miss futile, her sister-in-
law, persisted in the disaster Their
bodies were identified on Friday by
friends of the family. Friends OF Miss
Carrie A. Sayes, one of the victims OF
the playhouse fire, who had gathered at
the Congregational Church to attend her
funeral services, were thrown into a
panic shortly after two clock yesterday
afternoon when smoke from a burning
building less than block away found
its way into. the church. Instantly men
and women rushed to the exits, aud the
greatest excitement prevailed. Police
men pushed their way in among the ex-
cited tbrong, and standing on a stairway
announced that the fire was some dis
lance away and there was no danger.
This had but little effect, and many
again started FOR the doors. Realizing
that it would be dangerous 10 attempt to
prevent the crowd from leaving, the Off
GERS ordered the crowd to file out as
slowly as possible.
Having buried the victims of the the
atre horror, Chicago today began the in
vestigation which shall fasten response
bility upon all culpable persons. Mayor
Harrison met committees from the coun-
Gil to outline plan Tor action by that
body tonight. Fire Inspectors and at
torneys for the fire department examined
witnesses. Detectives were sent to the
theatre to prevent the destruction of evil
dence. Relatives of many victims began
preparations to file suits against the own
ers Of the theatre for damages. Every
school is closed for the day, as mark Of
respect for the 81 teachers whose lives
we're destroyed.

THE JURY FINDS BOYD
GUILTY OF ENLIGHTENMENT

, documentary evidence in his hands
plunged directly at the gist of the case.
1t is doubtful if ever a case of such
Importance was more tersely and effec-
lively summed up at any bar of justice.
There We're no rhetorical fireworks in
the Attorney Generals address. unless
some apt remarks on the consequences
to the country of slack dealing with
public money might be so described but
a sedulous hammerng out of bald facts
and mailing to the counter of spurious
coin of eXtenuation for malfeasance of
public trust.
The Attorney General displayed the
receipts for public money that had
never reached the public treasury and
reminded the jury that the defendant,
as sub-agent of lands, was responsible
under the specific terms of the law both
for the collection and custody of all
public money due the Territory in his
district. There was a simple and eX-
cellent system in the Land Office for
the collection of dues. a regular form
of receipt was provided, having n stub
for recording the details of each col
lection. Boyd, instead of using this
form, had special bilhead printed, by
means of which land rentals might be
collected and no record of the transact
ton be preserved in the office. Mr.. An
drews displayed to the jury the blank
receipt leaf uniform from the book and
folded back to conceal IL from "a cursory
view, the number OF which correspond
ed with that of the blllhead receipt for
one of the sums shown i'm this case to
have never reached the Treasury. The
contradiction OF Boyds statement that
he had not taken up the cash business
after returning from Hilo on September
"a until October l, by n memorandum
of "a deposit in the Treasury made out
In his own handwriting aud signed by
himself under date OF September 2s the
same year, was duly treated. BOyd's
admission of having made all the en-
tries In the cash book, excepting when
he was absent from Honolulu, fixed his
responsibility apart from the legal fact
thereof

this service has been for naught.

The burial servi over he remains Of
Mrs. Louise c. wescryelt brought

Lorcna westervelt her infant child, was
held last Saturday forenoon at 10 o'clock
In westwood Cemetery. Rev u. Brad
shaw. pastor OF the First church read
a portion of scripture closing with the
beautiful description OF Joys OF the
Redeemed. as partially outlined in the
book OF Revelation. Rev. c. ~ Pond
spoke comfortingly and feelingly OF the
departed ones. After prayer the urn in
which the ashes of the cremated body
had been placed, was lowered with
white ribbons into the grave. while
DR.. Bradshaw repeated the ordinary
funeral service.
Mr.. Ponds address is here given in
full
1t is very especially and particularly
a service of love that has gathered us
here today. On all customary occasions
of this nature, however tender and
reverent they may be made, there is
one purpose of utility that must be
dead from their sight. But no such
purpose has brought us hither.
The precious dust of little Alice two
years old, had been resting in the
bosom of mother earth twenty years in
the middle East. The ashes of Alice's
mother, brought hither in this sacred
funeral urn, could find no more beau
tiful resting place than the Paradise
of the Pacific, the fair island where
she spent her latest years. But the
husband and father has brought the
one hundreds of miles from the East
and the other thousands of miles over
sea and land from the West that they
might for loves sake be together in
tered in the home cemetery at Ober-
lin.
This Is the expression of mother love,
of conjugal affection and filial and
family attachment, all of them being
but streams from that fountain of all,
the love of God. In that sentiment |
made operative every day, our depart
ed friend Louise Clark Westervelt, was
reared, as the daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. George Clark. Well do 1 remem-
Der Mr.. Clark's fervor and devotion.
He seemed to me in a very unusual
degree to combine the ardor and con-
viction of the evangelist with the
prudent knowledge and wisdom of a
man of the world. Growing up In this
spirit, our Louise ever was true to 1t.

he was not called on to defend but
which should not be taken into account

ton, according to the evidence, that
had obtained under the defendant
predecessors. Counsel asked why it had
the defalcations in the Land Office,
paying some attention in his remarks
to the Auditors responsibility. He re-
ferred to defalcations in other depart
ments, mentioning that of Public
Works, when Deputy Attorney General
Fleming, Mr. Andrews being Temporal
rily absent from the room, got up and
objected to his going outside of the
evidence.
Judge Robinson who had been look
ing into law books, said he had not
heard the remarks objected to, but with
a few soothing words asked Mr.. Chill
lingworth to proceed.
Mr.. Chillingworth was soon again
checked with an interruption on the

has existed Throughout the period OF
preparation regarding the ACCESSIBILITY
of sending out the squadron, but with
the decision to double the size of the
Manchurian army and press the war
with vigor, the logic of those who for
months have insisted that every avail
able ship should be dispatched to the
Far East has finally prevailed.
The argument that no complete vic
tory over the japanese is possible I'M
less the command of the sea is wrest-
ed from them could not be overcome,
and though much valuable time has
been lost and the moment seems in
suspicious, it is officially intimated

of the Port Arthur squadron is to
break out of the harbor and infict as
much damage as possible upon Ad-
milai Togo's fleet. Such ships as es-
cape are expected to make their way
to V!adivostok, where the repairs on
the cruiser Bogatyr are understood to
have been practically completed and
those on tie Rossia and Gromoboi are
nearing completion.
The question of the war in the Far
East will depend upon the issue of

easily be kept open for a fleet of war
vessels by means of ice-breakers. If
