Terrible Explosion.

Scranton, Pa, March 9l.-A least
six girls lost their lives in the ex-
plosion which took place at IL o'clock
this morning in the Dickson squib
factory at Priceburg, four miles from
this city, while five others are injured,
some fatally. The greatest excitement
ever caused in the borough exists there
this afternoon, and heart-reDding scenes
are witnessed on every hand. 1t is
thought that only ten OF the twenty
five or more girls employed in the
factory escaped uninjured. The cause
of the explosion is not yet known.
When the shock came the whole borough
was skaken and windows were broken
in nearly every building.
Soon after the explosion flames shot
out from the ruins, and the piteous cries
of the dying and wounded could be
heard in the debris. Some Of the girls
on the lower floors rushed out, their hair
and clothing ahame. Many of the dead
and dying could be seen from the street,
pinned down with heavy timbers, and
being consumed with the flames. The
FIRE alarm was sounded and hurried calls
were sent to the local drug stores for
physicians of the borough, who admins
tered to the suffering girls. The fire was
soon under control and shortly after IL
o'clock the first body was taken from
the ruins. The work Of searching for the
other missing bodies is still going on.

CONGRESSIONAL

The Senate yesterday began considera-
ton of the pOstoffice appropriation bill
and it was the signal for a revival of the
democratic demand for an investigation
into the charges of corruption in the
Postofiice Department. The debate was
initiated by Mr.. German, who spoke for
almost two hours in criticism of the re-
publican party in the Senate in refusing
an inquiry, at the same time charging
the pOstoffice committee with undue haste
in reporting the bill, as he did the repub-
lican party with desire to adjourn Con-
gress at an exceptionally early date in
order to meet the wishes of the President
Mr.. Clay contended that there should be
a congressional inquiry, saying that the
charges against Mr., Heath, ex-First As
sistant Postmaster General, were such as
to demand investigation. Mr.. Penrose
and Mr.. Lodge spoke for the republican
side of the chamber, defending the COM
mittee on pOstofices against the charge
of haste, and also the administration. Mr.
Lodge contended that Congress could not
make an inquiry that would be as
thorough as that made by the Post
office Department. He charged the dem
ocratic attack to a desire to find politi-
cal issue. Mr.. Scott quoted District At
torney Beach and Assistant Attorney
General Robb as saying that there was
not sufficient evidence upon which to in
diet Mr.. Heath.
Substantial progress was made by the
House in the consideration ofthe sundry
civil bill, fifty-one pages being disposed

that the people of the South are entitled
to work out the negro problem "as God
shall will it"

Decision Against Colombian Govern

Paris, March 9l.-The French civil
court has decided against the Colombian
government in its case against the Pana-
ma Canal Company. The Colombian
government brought suit in the civil
court, alleging that the canal company
had no right to dispose of the canal con-
cessiOn and the property on the Isthmus.

Suicide Of Young Woman.

The body of Annie Newkirk, who dis
appeared from the home of her grand
father, John H. Richardson, several
days ago, was found floating in creek
near her home near Swansonville, Va,
Monday afternoon. The girl is thought
to have committed suicide because man
to whom she was engaged refused to
m AIRY her. The man disappeared at
the same time as the girl, and ii was
thought that they had gone away to-
gether. The body was identified by
the heartbroken grandfather, who re-
fused to allow an examination. 1t was
dressed Just as the girl had left the house.
The body was in excellent condition,
and bore no marks of violence or indiea-
tons of foul play. On the night prior
to the disappearance of the young girl
she left her lover on the porch at a late
hour, and relatives state that they could
hear her weeping after she had retired
to her room. Miss Newkirk was nine
teen years old, pretty, and of good figure.
She was at one time belle of the neigh
borhood. Relatives of the girl refuse
to make any statement as to why the
man broke off the engagement. 1t is
conceded that enlargement from her
lover was the direct cause that influenced
the girl to take her life.
