Much Damage at Mount Vernon, N.
Y.-Man Killed.
Mount Vernon, N. Y, Nov. 3.-The ex-
plosion of over a ton of dynamite under
the Bond street bridge at one o'clock
Wednesday shook the city and the sur
rounding country within a radius of five
miles, probably killed at least one per-
son and injured nearly 40 others, two of
whom may die. The man supposed to
have been killed was an Italian in charge
Of the dynamite. He was seen at his
post Of duty just before the explosion,
and no trace of him has since been found.
The explosion tore hole in the ground
80 feet deep, that is now full of water
from hidden spring, wrecked the Bond
street bridge over the railway tracks and
broke all the windows within a quarter
of a mile. Most Of the persons injured
were caught by falling ceilings and walls
in the houses near by. Stoves in stores
and dwellings were overturned and
many fires were started, but in each
case the flames were quickly extin-
guiShed.

VERDICT FIXES BLAME.
Coroner's Jury Ends Inquiry Into
North Sea Afair-1ts
Findings.

Hull, England, Nov. st That George
Henry Smith and William Leggett were,
at about 1890 a. m, on October %, while
out fishing with travis aboard the Brit
ish steam trawler Crane, with board of
trade marks exhibited and regulation
lights burning, killed by shots fred
without warning or provocation from
certain Russian war vessels at a distance
about quarter of a mile.
This is the text of the jury's verdict
at the coroner's inquest on the fishermen
victims of the North sea tragedy. At the
request of the British government, rep
resented by the earl of Dysart, solicitor
of the treasury, this conservative award
was rendered by the first court of in
quiry preceding the sessions Of the in
ternational tribunal. The government
asked the jury not to find a verdict of
Wilful murder or manslaughter, because
dedicate negotiations are going on
which should not be made more difficult;
and they ought not to let anyone think
they had prejudged the case before hav-
ing heard both Sides" In consequence
the jury simply set forth the facts proved
by the evidence of physicians, experts
on explosives and the trawlers them
selves.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 7.-Russia has
accepted the telegraphic draft of the
Anglo-Russian convention for the
commission of inquiry into the North
sea incident, submitted to Russia
"Wednesday, and the final exchanges
will be ratified in London. The con-
Tention covers six articles. The com
mission will sit in Paris and will con-
slst OF five members, Russian, British,
American and French, the represen-
tatives of these four nations to choose
the fifth member Broad outlines for
the inquiry are laid down by the con
yentlon, but the commission will have
wide latitude in determining all the
relevant facts. 1t is expected that the
commission will assemble in about a
fortnight

MANY BILLS
Are Already Being introduced
In Both Houses.
Legislature Is Getting Down To
Business-Caucus Nominees
Elected.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. with
Lieut.. Gov. Thorne swaying the
gavel in the Seuate and the Hon.
Eli H. Brown, Jr., performing
similar service of honor in the
House, the General Assembly was
formally convened at noon Tuesday
in a session that promises to be one
of much business. In the causes
there were few contests. Eli H.
Brown won for speaker of the House
by a vote of 40 to 33 for his oppo-
nents, Newcomb and Barton. Jas. |
K. Stone was nominated for clerk In
the Senate Senator Allen was elect
ed President Protein and Senator
Campbell Cantrill chairman of the
caucus. Henry Lawrence was made
chairman of the House caucus.
William Cromwell is Senate Clerk.
The Governor message was sent
in and read.
The principal suggestions for
legislation, as embodied in the gov
ernor's message, are these:
That the charitable institutions
OF the state are In need of smaller
appropriations than for some years
past.
That while there is in the state
treasury more money than has ever
before been in the treasury, yet pru-
dence and economy are advised.
That the schools of reform be
placed under a different system of
Operation, the governors idea pob-
ably being that they should be
placed under the management of
the state board ofislI com mis-
ioners or some such body.
That the crowded condition of the
insane asylums makes necessary
an appropriation for an addition to
one ofGtheI present asylums. This
would be less expensive than the
building of another asylum,
That the Democratic platform de.
mand for uniform school books and
for a maximum price to be fixed by
statute should be put into execut-
ion IN the form of uniform school
book law. The governor thinks
that such a measure should and
will pass at this session and that it
is the most popular measure now
before the people.
He suggests that the county pay
} half of the SIS per capita now paid
by the state for pauper idiots, be-
lieving that this would prevent
carelessness on the part of county
officials and would save $50, 600 to
$2OO,000 a year.
He urges that sufficient amount
of money should be appropriated
tor the erection of capitol buildings
commensurate with the dignity OF
the state. He regards the location of
the capital as settled and believes
that this is the proper time for the
passage of capitol appropriation
, bill.
He urges a proper appropriation
TO carry out the plan of the Ken
lucky Exhibit association for the
proper representation of Kentucky
at the World S fair in St. Louis.
