WORSE Than EARTHQUAKE.
THE SUBWAY EXPLOSION IN
PHILADELPHIA A TERRIBLE
AFFAIR.
Business Section Wrecked and Street
Converted into Raging Inferno of
F1ames-Seven Killed and Many
Injured.

Philadelphia, October 5.-Seven
were hurled to death by an explosion
at $40 this morning in the rapid
transit tunnel at Sixth and Market
streets, and fourteen men are in the
hospital suffering from injuries.
There are probably dozens more in
jured Of whom the police have not
heard. The business part Of the city
on Market street between Fifth and
Seventh is completely wrecked. Pc
destrians and subway workers were
hurled high in the air following the
explosion. 1t is safe to say that a
hundred men and women were cut,
some seriously, by glass, which feel
from every window in every building
in that part of the city. A dump cart
drawn by two horses and driven by
negro was turned directly ever. At
that portion Of the subway where the
explosion occurred. The whole outfit
was sent hign in the air and fell into
the pit which suddenly opened and in
minute was converted into an infer
no Of flames that leaped higher than
the L.ildings and only because OF the
quick action Of half dozen men
six boys were rescued from the
flames, dragged to the sidewalk
and then removed in police station
patrol wagons to the morgue. Only
one Of the killed was an employe Of
the subway builders, the others being
pedestrians. When the explosion oc-
Cured men, planks and horses and
trolly cars were thrown into the air.
Debris is being hurriedly dumped into
the subway to extinguish the flames.
Two unknown men died at the hos
pital after being removed from the
scene of explosion.

MACON TO RULE CUBA.
Governor Winthrop First Named,
But After Hearing From Taft
Roosevelt Decided to Adhere to
His Original Choice.

Washington, Oct. 3.-After a talk
at the White House with Governor
Magoon today the president recon
sidered the plan he had formed last
evening Of sending the judge to Cuba
as civil governor and decided that in
view Of the fact that Secretary Taft
heI already taken up the subject with
Beekman Winthrop, the present gov
ernor Of Puerto Rico, he would not
interfere with the programme.
Later :. was announced that upon
further consideration Of the subject
the president hao decided to adhere
to his plan formed yesterday and send
Charles z. Magoon to Cuba to re-
heve Secretary Taft as provisional
governor Of Cuba, allowing Governor
Winthrop to remain in Puerto Rico,
where his services are needed.
It was stated today that the pres
ident had reached his intention not to
send Governor Magoon to Cuba, as
announced earlier III the day, because
Of advices then in hand from Secre-
tary Taft intimating that the arrange
ments made for Governor Winthrop
assuming duties of provisional COVER
nor had gone too FAR to be changed
conveniently. A later dispatch from
the secretary, however, put the mat
ter in different light and indicated
that the secretary was willing thai
the governor should remain in Puerto
Rico. President Roosevelt, who has
AL along been anxious to have Mr..
lNagoon so to Cuba, acted promptly
on the seeretary's dispatch and 1rns
tnediately announced the appointment
of Mr.. Magoon. The decision, he
feels, leaves Governor Winthrop to
finish important work which he has
in hand in Puerto Rico and will de-
lay for but a few months Judge Ma
goon's departure for the Philippines.

pannelled a jury to inquire iHto the
death of Mr.. J. E. Gaillard, who was
fatally wounded on Friday night by
a negro man in the employ Of Cole
Brothers circus. The inquest was,
however, not concluded. The testi-
mony of one of the witnesses exam
ined involved the white man under
arrest and in the Jail at Bishopville,
and in order that the whole
affair might be thoroughly probed,
further investigation was postponed
until tomorrow so that additional wit
nesses might be summoned before the
jury and required to testify. Coroner
Flowers has issued subpoena writs re-
quiring the attendance upon the jury
tomorrow Of five citizens of Manning
and two from Bishopville.
Mr.. Charles Hasselden, being first
sworn, testified as follows: He was
at the depot at Manning on October
g.. 1906, Mr. Gaillard passed me and
rode up to the circus train on horse
back. Mr.. Gaillard called to me and
made some remarks about the train
being a very short one. A negro
came off the train and inquired if
anyone wanted him. Mr.. Gaillard
replied, but he did not remember
what the answer was. The negro
then fired on Mr.. Gaillard twice, and
turning fired on him, striking him in
the chest. He then fred at Mr.. M. O.
Burkett. He fired five shots in all.
Mr.. M. O. Burkett testified as fol-
lows: That he was also in Manning
on the 5th day of October, 1905. He
met Mr.. Gaillard at the depot. Mr..
Gaillard and Mr.. Hasselden engaged
in a private conversation, of which he
heard nothing. Then Mr.. Gaillard
started up the street. Mr.. Gaillard
made some remarks about the train;
he rode up within ten or twelve feet
Of the train. A negro stepped off
the train, made some remarks to Mr..
Gaillapasand cursed at MIN. The ne
gro then threw his hand to his hip
pocket, drew his pistol and fired up
on Mr.. Gaillard. He then
turned and fired upon both Mr.. Has
eden and me, striking both of US. Mr..
Gaillard cried out that he was NOR
tally wounded. I went to Bishopville
on the 9Th of October and saw the
man in Jail that did the shooting. He
was positive that the man he saw in
jail was the man that did the shoot
ing.
This is DR.. Walter Cheyne's state
ment: Being sworn. I, Walter
Cheyne, M D., state that by reason
of the knowledge derived from an
operation performed on J. E. Gaillard
on the 9Th day Of October, 1906, that
his death was caused by gunshot
wounds of the intestine (About 13 in
number) and the shock and hen1or-
