of gasoline occurred on board the
new submarine boat "A 5" while the
officers and crew, eleven men, were
engaged In charging the tanks. The
crew were hurled In all directions.
Nine of them were picked up by boats
and taken to the hospital.
A number of the crew of the British
gunboat Hazard volunteered to go to
the rescue of the submarine boats
crew, but hardly had they got on
board the submarine when a second
explosion took place and all the res
cuers were more or less injured.
Lieutenant Skinner, an officer of the
submarine boat, subsequently died of
his injuries.
The bodies of two missing men
were found on board the "A g."

stroyed. The interior of the subma.
rine boat is on fire, which delays
complete examination of the boat.

Terrible Epidemic of Smallpox.

Peoria, ILL.,, Feb. 17.-Not even a tel
egraph message can reach Smithfeld,
a village forty miles west of here, so
strict is the smallpox quarantine and
SO great is the ravage wrought by the
malady. The last means of communi-
cation with the outside world was cut
off when the telegraph Office was
closed by the illness of the operator.
Many deaths have occurred and the
state officials have prohibited the
stopping of trains at the village.

GOVERNOR WILL SIGN BILL.
State of Kansas Will Erect an Oil
Refinery.

Topeka. Kan, Feb 17.-Goyernor
Hoch will, 1t is believed, sign the bill
providing for the erection by the state
of an oil refinery, passed by both
houses, but he declines to say any
thing of his intentions. The two bills
passed by the house affect not only
the oil trust, so called, but other COM
bines. The freight bill also passed
makes the railroads common carriers
and in this way all trusts are to be
fought. The anti-discrimination bill is
said to have enough friends to insure
its passage, This measure was drawn
up with the intention of preventing
underselling the state.

TEN PEOPLE KILLED AND MORE
THAN FIFTY INJURED IN
BROOKLYN CHURCH.
MAJORITY OF THE VICTIMS WOMEN
EDIFIcE CROWDED TO ATTEND
FUNERAL OF ONE OF THE
CONGREGATION.

New York, March 1.-Ten persons
were killed and upwards of fifty in
jured by the collapse of the flooring
of the Fleet Street African Methodist
Episcopal church in Brooklyn. OF
those killed seven were women, two
men and one child.
Arrangements had been made to
hold the funeral services of Sydney
Painter and the auditorium was crowd
ed with 800 persons, of whom the ma
jority were women.
The congregation was waiting In
silence for the arrival of the body
when a splintering of timbers was
heard and in an instant, the half Of
the audience floor nearest the door
collapsed, carrying down more than
100 persons, who were crushed in the
wreckage of the flooring.
Out of the wreck ten bodies were
recovered and taken to stationhouse.
OF the injured there are ten in the
hospitals suffering from fractured
limbs, broken bones and contusions,
but none of them is believed to be
fatally injured. The greater portion
of the number of the injured were re-
moved to their homes and their in
juries are of minor character. Death
In nearly every case was due to suf-
location.

MOTION IS ovERRuLED.
Effort to Quash indictments Against
Mrs. Chadwick Fails.

Cleveland, March 1.-Judge Taylel
of the United States district court has
overruled the motion Of Attorney j. P.
Dawley, counsel for Mrs. Chadwick,
that the two indictments returned
against her by the federal grand jury
on Feb. FL be quashed.
Mr.. Dawley argued at length on his
motion to quash the indictments, prin.
cipally on the ground that the, written
confession of the late G. T. Beckwith,
indicted as conspirator with Mrs.
Chadwick, had been used as evidence
before the grand jury. Dawley de-
clared that this was illegal; that such
testimony before the grand jury was
clearly incompetent and prejudicial to
Mrs. Chadwick.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Tayler overruled Mr.. Dawley's
motion.
Mrs. Chadwick, who was in court,
then entered a plea of not guilty to
the two additional indictments re.
turned against her on Feb. 21, charg.
ing conspiracy. Mrs. Chadwick's trial
will commence before Judge Tayler
Monday morning, the conspiracy in.
dictments against her being taken up
first.

Terrorist Organization Does Not Fear
Russian Police.

Russian Police.
st. Petersburg, March 1.-The utter
impotency OF the police in the face of
the terrorist organization is shown by
the increasing boldness OF the latter
all over St. Petersburg. Even on the
steps Of the public buildings simple
notices of Grand Duke Sergius; death
were found They read:
1.-THE sentence of death passed upon
Feb. IT,
The notices are signed by The
Fighting Organization of the Social
Democratic Party"
Moreover the notices were neatly
printed, thing unknown in the days
of the late Interior Minister Won
Plehve, when similar notices were al
ways run off on copying machines.
The secret police then were too close
on the heels of the terrorists to per-
nit of the use of printing press.
The Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna,
whose husband, the Grand Duke Vlad-
imir, is high on the list of those con-
demned to death, is trying to shield
his life with her own. Since "Red
Sunday" the grand duke has not only
been showered with threats and warn.
ings but has twice received from
abroad formal letters signed by differ
ent groups informing him of his SEN
tence to death and of the assignment
OF men to execute it. At the same
time the Grand Duchess Marie, like
the Grand Duchess Elizabeth in the
case of Grand Duke Sergius, was noti-
fed that her life and her sons lives
would be spared and she was appealed
to not to go abroad in her husbands
company. In spite of this warning the
grand duchess accompanies him on all
his trips outside the palace grounds.
