THREE MEN BLOWN TO PIECES
Dynamite Exploded Under n Shanty in
Which LabOrers Were Sleeping.
ROBBERY OR JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE
Quarries of the Mclaughlin stone
Company Near Chicago the
Scene of a DastardIy
Crime.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Three men were
blown TO pieces, three others were fatally
injured and several others badly hurt by
an explosion which early today wrecked
a shanJy in the Mclaughlin stone quarry
at Ballwood. a short distance northwest
OF Chicago.
There are evidences that the explosion
was the result OF a plot on the part of
people who are at present unknown TO the
police. The dynamite shed of the quarry,
which is at a considerable distance from
the shanty which was blown up, was
broken open and the dynamite carried to
the building in which a number Of laborors
were sleeping and exploded beneath the
structure. The survivors all declare that
there was no dynamite around their shanty
when they retired for the night
The explosion was terrific and aroused
the residents for several miles around and
shattered many panes Of glass a mile from
the quarries. The larger part Of the body
OF one Of the men killed was taken from
tree 100 feet from the place where the
shanty had stood. Sections Of the corpse
were found lying all around the tree. All
Of the men killed and injured were Greek
and Italian laborers
The officials of the Mclaughlin COM
pany denounced the blowing up Of the
shanty as deliberate murder and said that
In their opinion the crime had been
actuated by desire to rob the sleeping
men Several OF them were known TO
nave considerable money, and one, Louis
Pappillo, was said TO have carried $1,000
In belt which he wore around one leg.
Pappiilo and his brother were killed,
and when the bodies were found both had
been completely stripped Of clothing. This
Wa nct ths case with any other man who
was in the Eaanty at the time OF the ex-
Piosion, and, according to the officials OF
the Mclaughlin company. bears out their
theory that rCbbery was the motive Of
the crime.
Late in the a0y the police received in
formation that I'd trem to believe that the
dyLsc9ite might have been placed under
the buL4alg az the instance Of woman
who was Jealous OF one OF the men killed.
II Is Known that they qusrreled the day
before the explosion and that she threat
ened him.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Nidlummef Conditions Less in Evidence

LARGE INCREASE IN RAILROAD EARNINGS
Many Iron and steel Mills Resume
After Brief Season of Idle

NEW YORK, July l3.--R. G. Dun Co.'S
Weekly Review OF Trade will say tomorrow:
Midsummer conditions are more In evil
dence than at any previous time this
season, although trade continues far In
excess of early years and preparations for
fall and winter are unabated. Confidence
in the commercial sentiment, Induced by
exceptionally favorable crop reports and
the absence OF any distinctly adverse fac
tor. Wholesale distribution Is very heavy
for this period and the majority OF reports
indicate satisfactorily prompt collections,
being reduced by clearance sales Not only
the leading industries, but nearly all manu-
featuring undertakings have orders assur-
ing activity well into the future and the
scarcity OF labor is still the chief complaint.
Disputes as 70 wages are practically settled
At the soft coal mines and anthracite col
ueries are resuming, the sliding scale
giving hard coal miners an advance of
per cent In July. Evidence OF the un-
excelled business during the fiscal year
just ended are found In every statemen;
that appears.
Railroad earnings IN June were los per
cent larger than In 1905 and foreign com
meree at this port for the week shows an
OF TeASn in exports as compared with last
years ngures Temporary ease in call
money did not weaken the quotations OF
time loans, which reflect she expectation
OF heavy shipments OF currency to the
interior for crop moving iE the near future.
