The wool market is very dull, and sales by

THREE MEN BADLY HURT.
Ten Sticks of Dynamite Explode in
p. II. r.. E'ncaUation.

Three drilIers in the excavation for the Penn
syIvania Railroad terminal at 32d and sd SITS,
between Tth and Sth ayes, were tossed about
fifty feet in the air last night by the explosion
of ten sticks of dynamite in a loaded hole
which had been overlooked
The men fell heavily. were horribly burned
about the face and head and injured internally.
They are in Bellevue Hospital, with small
chances of recovery. They are; George Robin

About II o'clock last night the three men were
drilling in the centre of the excavation. when
the drill suddenly struck loaded hole which
had been careessly allowed to lie buried The
dynamite went off with noise that was heard
for blocks and shook every dwelling house and
shop in the neighberhoed,
The drill was shot out Of the hole and sent
flying in the air. The men clingtng to 1t were
tossed in all directions. Robinson, the chief
driller was shot up as high as the drill, and fell
to the earth with terrific force. His helpers
were standing about the drill and were also
tossed high in the air. but in different direc-
tiens.
The noise OF the explosion created a panic
among the Italian workmen on the Job, who ran
here and there TO escape the flying rocks. Win
dows in dwelling houses block away were
shattered and the occupants frightened.
Superintendent McMahon had the three men
carried to the company's shed at 9th-ave. and
S1st-st., after which they were taken to Belle
vue Hospital. Robinson is said to be in seri-
condition.

GOVERNOR ON LYNCHING

Columbia, S. c., Jan. Ex-Governor Z. &, Tzsv.

While we have every reason fer enceurags-

Human life must have every right guaranteed
in our constitution, and ldwless and reckless

DECATUR TRIAL BEGINS
Discussion Oper Legal Questions
Causes Adjournment.

Annapolis Jan. 9.-Several legal questions of
Importance arose to-day in the second tFaal or
Midshipnan Stephen Decatur en- charges OF
hazing, before the court martial in session at
the Naval Academy. On motion to strike cut
certain specifications not constituting haziag,
the court was led to define substantially the
term hazing as it is understood by the court
The court also decided that the act of 1903
which provides dismissal for encouraging or
countenancng hazng." is amendatory OF the
act of 1874 which provides the penalty for &C
lively taking part in hazing.
plea in bar was then entered to the only
specification against Decatur on the charge OF
encouraging and countenancing hazing. The
plea urged that Decatur had already been tried
on substantially the same facts in the former
case, and that his trial the specification would
be putting him in jeopardy twice for the same
offence.
IN denying the motion to strike out the first
two specifications. the court ruled that maltreat-
ment Of fourth class man by the infiictton of
direct physical cruelty was not the only kind Of
hazing. It ruled that any annoyance or molesta-
ton such as the requirement Of mental ser
vices making ridiculous. and such like, was also
hezing.
This ruling is expected to lead to many more
convictions.
The charge is that Decatur countenanced the
hazing Of a fourth class man, Gaylord Church.
Of Meadville Penn There is also charge of
hazing under the act OF 1879. under which there
are two specifications. No courts martial have
been called under the later act previous to this,
because it was believed that the superintendent
of the Naval Academy had powers Of summary
dismissal under it A recent opinion Of the At
torney General holds. however. that the power
can only be exercised after conviction before q
court martial
Judge Advocate Harrison asked the court to
adjourn until tomorrow morning to allow him
to examine the questions involved. The court
granted this motion and adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
