EXPLOSION IN RAPID
 TRANSIT SUBWAY Seven Men Killed in Philadelphia This Moning While Working on New
 Underground Railway. WE'RE RIIRlEl HINDER EARTH
A Number of Workmen Were Also Injured and Much Property
 Damaged.

Philadelphia, Oct 5.-A terrific ex- plosion of Illuminating gas in the sub way of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran. sit company under construction at Sixth and Market streets to-day re suited in the death of seven men, the injurfng of about dozen others and caused thousands of dollars in prop erty damage. Besides the seven men known to be dead 1t is said that at least three others are buried under tons of earth in the wrecked subway. It will be late in the day before the excavation can be cleared.
 As the explosion occurred shortly before seven o'clock but a few work men had gathered. The explosion was caused by leak in a city gas main that had been improperly repaired last night. The escaping gas formed pocket in the subway and 1t is be- lieved that workman carrying a lamp into the great hole ignited the gas. Sixth and Market streets is one ", but there was little traffic there when the explosion occurred. About dog en wOrkmen were near large derrick and about five men are believed to have been in the subway.
 The explosion wrecked the subway for half block and all the heavy timbering and structural work includ- ing tons of earth fell into the excaya- tion. A heavy rain had weakened the walls and added to the damage.
 Just as the gas blew up double team dirst cart was being driven across the covered subway by driv- CT of the Willard Construction com pany which is building the subway. The vehicle, horses and man were blown in the air and the horses and cart fell Into the hole The driver landed in the street and was only slightly hurt. Several of the work men near the derrick were blown across tho street and either killed or injured, and a number of pedestrians were hurt by falling glass and signs from the nearby tall business honses.
 Those portions of the subway that were not covered with dirt burst into flames. Flremen were quickly on the spot but water was of little use as the flames were shooting from dozens of gas pipes and a large main. Dirt was then used and finally all the flames were extinguished. Hundreds of men then were put to work clear ing out the wrecked subway.
 While the damage to the subway, to the city's gns and water mains, and the electric light and telephone conduits is considerable. 1t will not compare with the destruction wrought to surrounding property. From Fifth to Seventh street on Market and for half q square on Sixth street both north and south of Market street not whole pane of glass is left. Thou sands of dollars worth of goods in the show windows were damaged. Dog ems of signs were torn down. The vicinity of the explosion was roped of and business within the agected area temporarily suspended.

HAD WIVES EXECUTED
King Anlim glilty of Atrocities Which VIII Riag Punishment on His
 Head
TORTURED WOMEN TO DEATH

Paris, Oct 5.-Thanh Thai, king of Annam, according to stories reaching Paris from Ind0- Chino, has again been guilty of such atrocities that the French government may be compelled to adopt rigorous disciplinary meas ures, as 1t did on previous occasion. The malls report that ill August the king was seix6d with a homicidal mania, ordered seven of his wives to be executed and looked on with de- light. while they were slowly tor tured to death. A few days later the king shot down an aged prince, who was the last surviving son of King Minh Mang. When the French resi- dent called to remonstrate wirh the king the latter declined to permit hin to enter the palace. The king wanted to come to Paris, as the king of Cam bodia did, but the French press de cla1es that such fiend shall never be allowed to visit France.

FELL THROUGH sKYLIGHT.
Ups0n, Singleton Clerks Mortified When Woman Came Through Roof.

Miss Katherine V. Taylor, who keeps manicuring and hairdressing establishment at 95 Bank street, fig ured in most peculiar accident this afternoon, and it is feared that she has internal injuries that may result seriously; the young lady fell through sky light, and landed in the store of The Upson, Singleton X company. It was about 2:45 when the clerks ill the clothing store were surprised by the breaking of glass in the skylight, and then startled by seeing woman fall through the opening It was Miss Taylor who had broken through the glass. Several clerks quickly ran to her aid and Dr LuscOmb was sum- moned. Meanwhile the young lady had become unconscious and was car ried into one of the offices in the store.
 The physician did not find any bones broken, but Miss Taylor's con- dftion was very serious because of the shock, and 1t is thought that her back is severely hurt. The injuries to her back were so painful that it was with difficulty she was placed In an ambulance to be taken to her home at 12 Spencer avenue.
 What. Miss Taylor was doing on the daylight no one seems to know, although Mrs John Kelly, who was in the parlors when her sister fell. thinks she was endeavoring to enter storeroom nearby where she has several articles. but not having the key. thought she would try the win dow. To get to the window she had to go out on the skylight. and she took only step or two when she fell through. The skylight until a month ago was covered with wire.

THE DOG QUESTION.
Policemen Would Be Slow in Tack .@ ling Some of the Brutes.

~ Ing 60nle Of the Brutes. e
 The policemen are anxious for peo- pie to know that dogs. notwithstand- ing the opinion of great many citi- zens, cannot run at large between the hours of 2 a. m. and 2 p. m. The aldermen passed an ordinance for en- grossment which would allow the dogs to run free between the hours mentioned above, but later passed vote which compels dog owners to keep their CUTS tied up at all times until December 1st. The rules at the police station. which the officers are to follow. declare that all dogs shall be destroyed. but 1t does not state by whom. The policemen do not like the idea of pulling the 'ki-yis" through the town, and state there are some of them they would not care to tackle.
 One of the patrolmen on Bank street to-day saw huge dog stunning itself in front of one of the buildings. It was not tied up. nor was Its owner looking after 1t. When the patrol man was asked if he were going to take 1t to the station he replied. Not by long shot. Do you think for a moment that I would attempt to take that dog to the station? Why. if a fellow would go near 1t, bet it would chew him to pieces. We have not the power to shoot them. but you can wager we'll take no such pets to the station"
 The above seefns to bc the feeling of the majority of the patrolmen.

INTERIsT IN TARIFF.
Massachusetts Republicans Are Look
 ing Over the Field.


 ing Over the Field.
 Boston, Oct 6.-Much interest was manifested in the tariff section of the platform by the delegates to the an- nual republican state convention in this city to-day. There had been no opposition since the primaries to the renomination of Governor Curtis Guild, jr. and the other state officers who were elected last year, and no disagreement regarding the declara- tion of principles, save over that section relating to the tariff which has been point of dispute for sev- eral years, due to the campaign of Eugene N. Foss of Boston, republi- can who favors c revision of the tar iff. and his followers. Foss has an- nounced that If the platform did not suit him he might offer substitute tariff plank.
 The leaders of the party were not anxious regarding the strength of the Floss followers in the convention. as in his contest in the primaries for the nomination for lieutenant gover- nor, Foss was easily defeated by Lieu tenant Governor Eben s. Draper. They were desirous. however, of avoiding serious disagreement on the floor of the convention. It has been reported in the press and in political circles that should Foss fail to obtain concessions in the platform he might decide to run as an inde- pendent candidate fer governor, but go far aa iNAs Aeiraed, Epss did not authorize the report. .s>.
 The platform was written by At torney General William H. Moody, chairman of the committee on reso- lutions.
 When the delegates to the conven- tion appeared at Fremont temple. the place of meeting this forenoon. the leading topic of discussion was the tariff issue and the nomination by the democrats of John .B. Moran for governor. There was little in- terest in the republican state ticket.
 The state officers are: Governor. Curtis Guild, jr. Boston; lieutenant governor. Eben s. Draper. Hopedale; secretary of state, William M. Olin. Boston; treasurer and receiver gen. eral. Arthur R. Chapin, Holyoke: att torney general. Dana Greenfield: au- ditor, Henry E. Turner, Maiden.
