BAD EXPLOSION
In NEW SUBWAY
LOOSE POWDER USED IN BLAST
ING WAS iGNITED AND CAR WAS
SET ON FlRE-WAS DIFFICULT
TO FIGHT.

New York, March 29.-There was a
heavy explosion in the subway tunnel at
One Hundred and Sixty-elghth street
and Broadway today where the tunnel is
12t feet below the surface of the streets.
Fire apparatus and extra police were
Summoned. The explosion took place at
a point beyond that to which trains are
run at present and near the American
league baseball park An uptown sub
way train, which had been emptied of
passengers at One hundred and Fifty
seventh street, and was run to One Hun
bred and sixty-eghth street to be switch
ed across to the down town tracks, got
be yond the control of the motorman and
ran into a pile of construction material
in the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth
street station. The cars jumped the track
and caught fire. 1t was reported that
some loose powder which was to be used
in the tunnel was ignlted and exploded.
For some time It was not known
whether or not the tran crew escaped
An attempt was made to operate an ele-
vator running through the shaft from
the tunnel to the street, but It could not
be moved. Some of the employees In the
tunnel ran through the tube to the No
Is West street station and reached the
surface at that point.
The firemen passed the hose down into
the tunnel and fought the blaze OF the
burning cars.
Two hours after the accident the mo-
torman of the subway train had not been
found, and 1t was supposed he had been
pinned in his compartment in the first
car and either killed by the explosion or
burned 10 death. 1t was reported that the
conductor and guards of the train and a
gang of twenty-five laborers employed In
the tunnel had escaped by way OF the
shaft at One Hundred and Eighty-hrst
street station.
The firemen made desperate efforts to
get at the burning cars. but were unable
to do so as the tunnel was filled with
smoke on both sides of the station where
the accident occurred and the hremen
were driven back each time they essayed
to reach the scene. The only way they
had Of reaching the fire was to lower hose
through the shaft and pour water indis-
criminately into the tunnel below In the
hope of flooding the fire.
1t was ascertained that the train was
run against a heavy bulkhead of pine,
which had been built across the tunnel
the collision. There were two explosions
and both were later said to have been
of dynamite cartridges used In blasting.
One occurred soon after the collision. The
other occurred much later.

MRS. MAVERICK is
VERY Willy WITNESS
DISPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN IN CON-
NEcTIoN WITH HER CLAIM TO
VALUABLE TRACTS OF LAND IN
SOUTHERN STATES.

Washington, March 29-The testimony
Of Mrs. Florence Maybrick in the taking
of dispositions in the case of her mother'
Baroness Won Roaues against David W.
Armstrong and others, involving valuable
tracts of land in Virginia, WestVirginia
and Kentucky, was concluded today
Mrs. MAVERICK displayed marked capac-
ity for avoiding direct answers to the rig
i'd questioning to which she was subject
ed. She declared with respect to the sign
ing of certain papers in prison which
we're brought to her by Consul Potter that
she was so lmperfectly informed as to the
communications that passed between Mar.
Armstrong and her mother that she SIM
ply signed the documents without any
clear knowledge OF the transaction. Upon
being pressed for a more direct answer
Mrs. Maybrick insisted that when she
signed the papers she did not know the
nature of their contents.
The defendant produced a number of let
ters purporting to have been written by
her mother, Mr.. Potter and others before
and during her imprisonment, but she ex-
pressed her inability to identify the hand
writing of anyone of sixteen years ago.
THE impression of my mothers hand
writing prior to my release" she said,
is to dim for me to identify definitely
any letter."A She would not even state
to the best of her knowledge and belief
the letter shown her was by her mother,
saying statement of that kind would
be too definite.
Counsel for the plaintiff objected to a
question IL Mrs. Maybrick had received
a pardon from the British government
but the witness nevertheless, cautiously
replied that she had papers In her pos
session given her by the British govern
ment. Asked II she was willing to produce
them, Mrs MaybriclS responded with
equal caution that they were not permit
ted to be produced except at the request
OF the American government.
On redirect examination which was con
fined to one question, Mrs. Maybrick de
tailed the circumstances under which
she acquired an interest In the property
In dispute, saying that at her marriage
her mother gave her as a decided gift
ore-thrd of her property in Kentucky
Virginia and West Virginia, and later
assigned the same in writing. The deed
and assignment said Mrs. Maybrick had
been confirmed repea .edly by her mother
up to the prestn day by word of mouth
THAT" she said. "is the agreement that
now exists between us" and she smiling
ly left the stand
