earthquake than locally. From all

awaken people from sound slumber.

Eastport, L I, May 1.-TWO distinct
shocks. coinciding in time with Bridge

nestle animal and fowl set up a racket
which lasted half an hour.

magazines in the testing grounds of
the Union Metallic Cartridge company,
in the east side, exploded at an early
hour this morning, the concussion
shaking the whole city and causing
great alarm among many persons who
believed that there had been an earth
quake. Windows were shattered and
IA many houses crockery fell from the
shelves, but no serious damage was re-

with but a seconds interval between
and q large amount of powder was de-
atroyed. One Of the company's build
1ngs was damaged So far as known
no person was harmed
Following the explosion many per-
sons clad only in their night garments
fed to the streets believing that the
earthquake recently predicted had
fa-ken place. Many women became
systerical and it was some time before
they were rea ssured.
The four magazines which exploded
contained $4,000 pounds OF powder

the cartridge company was damaged

unharmed- The cause of the explosion

windows in the city were shattered
and the isolation hospital, a small
structure half mile away, was wreck

mates of the town farm, but no one
was hurt The magazines were located
on Success hin, in the northern part
OF the city.

ed by railroad men. and is supposed to
be strictly railroad organ, has made
an astonishing discovery about the
Democratic nominees for railroad COM
missioners. It says they were named
by Bale Waggener. the Missouri Pa
cific attorney. and that IN return for
the privilege of naming them. he has
agreed to furnish the Democrats with
all the campaign funds they want In
view Of the fact that the Democratic.
convention jumped onto Bale Wag-
gener with all four feet. and so com
pletely subdued him that he did not
show himself around the convention
hall, the suggestion that he named
the Democratic railroad commissioners
