FIVE MINERS BLOWN TO PIECES.
Fatal Result Of Explosion Of Twenty-Five
Pounds Of Dynamite.

Des Moines (SpeciaD Five miners
were blown to pieces by the explosion
of rs pounds of dynamite in a storage
powderhouse at the West Riverside
Coal Mine, two miles west of the city.
The dead are Charles Brown, Luke Mil
Ter, Harry Belknap, Dell Vance and
George Arrowood.
Heads, arms and legs were scattered
around for distance of 500 feet. No
one knew of the explosion until the day
shift came to work The men killed
were engaged in sinking new shaft,
and during the early morning hour
severe rainstorm came up which COM
PEELED them to stop work. They sought
shelter from the storm in the powder
house While they were in the house
lightning struck tree near the build
ing and glanced off to the house itself,
igniting the dynamite, as well as two
kegs of powder.
Not a piece of wood larger than
foot long remains of the building.

DEATH CAUSED BY HAT PIN STAB.
Victim Said It Was Done By Accidentally
Have Been Murder.

Detroit, Mich. (Special) Fred Mont
gomery, a waiter of Sandwich, Ont,
who was taken to St. Mary's Hospital
July E with wound in his breast made
by hatpin, is dead At the post-mor-
tenn six inches of the pin was found
imbedded in his breast, part of it actu-
ally in the mans heart. The piece of
pin had begun to rust, and the physi-
clans marvel that Montgomery lived so
long. When taken to the hospital from
lodging house Montgomery said he
received the wound by accident, claim
ing that a woman with whom he had
been in a cafe had slipped and pushed
against him as she was pinning on her
hat, causing the wound
1t is now thought that perhaps the
wound was received during row at
his home in Sandwich early in the even
ing on which he was taken to the hos
pital. Canadian officials say that Mont
gomery's wife has been missing since
the night of the row and is supposed
to have gone to Indian Territory.

ROCK EASILY LEVELED
Forty.Five Tons Of Dynamite in One
Charge.
TREMENDOUS UPHEAyEL OF WATER.
A Menace to Navigation In the Piscataqua
River, New Hampshire, Removed-Rare
Sight Witnessed by a Crowd Of 10000
Persons-The Largest Charge Of Dynamite
Ever Exploded.

Portsmouth, N. H. (SpeciaD Thou
sands of visitors came here to witness,
with the people of this city and vicinity,
the elimination of an engineering prof.
ect which has been under way for the
last three years and which has attracted
the attention of experts, both in this
country and abroad 1t was the re-
moval of Henderson's Point-a ledge
three acres in extent-from the Piscata-
Qua River bed by exploding simultane-
ously about 400 charges of dynamite, ag-
gregating at least As tons, in the rock
beneath the water.
The switch by which the immense
blast was discharged was operated by
Miss Ethel Foster, the young daughter
of the superintendent of the contract
ing firm, at a signal given by Rear-Ad-
miral w. W. Mead, commandant of the
Portsmouth Navy Yard. Governor Nc
Lane, of New Hampshire, and other
prominent men witnessed the explosion
as guests of honor, while on the shore
of the river and on islands in the harbor
about 10000 persons saw it. The event
was the climax of three years work,
which involved the expenditure of nearly
$4,000 and as a result of it the new
Government drydock at the navy yard
here is given an approach of sufficient
width and depth to permit the safe pas
sage of the largest vessel afoat
The only element of danger was the
great rush of water toward the New
castle shore, which was some 1900 or
1000 feet away. One great wave swept
across with tremendous force and others
resembling the surf in storm followed.
They caused no damage, however. Some
of the pieces of timber fell on Pierce's
Island, where there was throng of spec
tators, but these were easily avoided.
After the explosion Rear-Admiral En-
dicott declared that the work was "a
complete success" This opinion also
was given by Lieutenant Gregory, who
had charge of the work for the Govern
ment, and by Superintendent Foster, of
the contracting firm.
The explosion has removed the point
clean with the edge of Seavey's Island,
as was planned. By its destruction the
channel is widened some $50 feet. and
the contract for the work calls for a
uniform depth of IS feet at mean low
water. and this work will be completed
before winter.
At a. 10 Rear-Admiral Mead gave the
signal for which Miss Foster was wait
ing. She moved the switch. There was
a fraction of second interval. Then
came a tremendous upheaval of water,
rocks, clay and lumber, accompanied by
a sound like the boom of distant can
non. From the center of the commotion
a great mass of water was thrown up
to great height and huge wave
rolled over toward the Newcastle shore.

CHICAGO STRIKE ENDING.
Nearly All Of the 5000 Have Surrendered
Completely.

Chicago (SpeciaD The end of the
teamsters' strike, that has so greatly dis
turbed business conditions in Chicago
for the last three months, is apparently
at hand. Most of the 5000 strikers have
made complete surrender and will seek
their former positions without an agree
nent of any kind with the employers.
The first break in the ranks of the.
strikers came when the lumber team
sters voted to return to work, regard
less of what action might be taken by
any other union. At night the depart
ment-store drivers and the railway ex-
press drivers voted to call off the strike
and seek their former positions in the
morning. 1t is expected that about Co.
per cent. of the department-store drivers
will be reinstated.
The employers say that only such mens
will be taken back as are needed after
the nonunion men have been provided
for, and that the question of wearing the
union button must be left to the indi-
vidual employer
The strike has been one of the most
annoying, bitterly fought and expensive
affairs of its kind that Chicago has ever
known. 1t originated last winter over
the demand of the United Garment
Workers of America that the firm of
Montgomery Ward & Co. refrain from
sending out any work to nonunion men,
although there was no contract prohib-
iting such action The 10 garment work.
ers employed by Montgomery Ward &,
Co. went on strike and their places were
filled by nonunion men.
Four months after the strike of the
garment workers the Transfers onions
called on Montgomery Ward & Co. to-
arbitrate the garment workers strike.
The refusal of the firm to do so was,
followed by strike of all the teamsters
employed by them. The strike rapidly
spread to such other business houses as
attempted to make deliveries to Mont
gomery Ward & Co.

CROP REPORTS IN NEW HANDS.
Assistant Secretary Hays is Now In
Charge.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD. - As
sistant Secretary of Agriculture Willet
N. Hays has taken hold of the affairs
of the Bureau of Statistics, with in
structions from Secretary Wilson, APP
proved by President Roosevelt, to cleanse
the bureau of the stigma left by the
cotton leak scandal. His authority is.
unlimited He has been told that he
may have whatever clerical force he
needs, and if there are any employees
whose services he thinks should be dis
pensed with they will be discharged. 1t
is regarded as extremely likely there
will be a complete reorganization OF the
force employed in the statistical de-
partment as well as a thorough revision
of the orders governing the monthly
crop reports. The latter having already
been outlined in a circular issued by
Secretary Wilson.
In that regard Secretary Wilson said
that hereafter if there are accusations
against the integrity of the bureau it
must be directed against himself or AS
sistant Secretary Hays, as he has no
intention of allowing any other person
access to information that might be
used in stock jobbing.
Mr.. Hays probably will be in charge
of the bureau until after Congress as
sembles, as it is believed that a COM
petent man to take the place of Mr..
Hyde, who has resigned as chief statis-
tician, cannot be had for the salary paid
by the government-$3,5 year. Con-
gress will be asked to increase the sal
airy, and it is the intention of Secretary
Wilson to place in charge of the office
man whose ability has been estab-

Bennington's Dead Buried.

San Diego, Cal. Especial. )-Forty-
seven of the gunboat Bennington's dead
were buried Sunday in common grave
in the little military cemetery on the
crest of the promontory of Iona, high
above the waters of San Diego Bay, on
the one side, and within sound of the
booming surf of the Pacific on the other.
Without the crash of drum or the sound
of brass, without pomp or parade, yet
with simple impressiveness, all honor
was paid the nations dead.
They have honored dead to keep them
company. All about them lie those who
died in the nations in more trying times.
Gravestones, yellow with age, bear the
names of men who died at Monterey, in
the Mexican War; others who gave up
their lives in the conquest of California,
and who followed Commodore Stockton
at Old Sa1 Pasqual These are their
neighbors in death.
Army and Navy paid their last trib-
utes NJ less sincere than the simple grief
of tho representatives of peace, who made
the long journey around or across the
bay. From Fort Rosecrans came the
One Hundred and Fifteenth Company,
coast heavy artillery; from the city of
San Diego. the naval reserves; from the
Universal Brotherhood's Home, on Point
Iona, company of khaki-clad repre-
sentatives, and from the government ship
Fortune dozen sailors. But the most
impressive body of mourners were the
81 men from the battered Bennington.
Besides these there were hundreds of
civilians, who, unthoughtful of the ia
tiguing journey from the city, brought
their offerings of flowers to lay upon
the graves.
