TURNED DOWN ALL BIDS
FOR STATE HOUSE WING
Commissions Decides All Proposals
Are Too High to Allow for
Furnishing New Offices.

TRENTON, May 16.-The state
house commission, composed of Gov
ernor Stokes, State Treasurer Briggs
and State Comptroller Morgan, met
at the state house yesterday after
noon to take up the matter of the
bids for the new 100000 addition
to the capitol.
The bids, which were submitted a
week ago, were as follows: William
Johnson, $4,000; Lewis Lawton &
Son, $92,250; Charles w. Kafer,
500, 994; James w. tanning, $103,-
900.
The bids were all rejected on the
ground that they were too high. The
appropriation for the new wing is
100000 and out of the present wing
must be demolished, the new one
erected and the offices furnished. The
bids were rejected on the recommen-
dation of the state department of
charities and corrections, which stat
ed that the necessary furnishings
could not be provided for in the bal
ance of 1000 remaining from the
lowest bid.
The commission directed that new
bids be advertised for to be submit
ted next Tuesday.

MINERS ARE
TORN APART
Explosion Of Dynamite in Shen-
andOah Valley Seven Dead
Twelve Badly Burned.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, May 16.-Sev-
on miners were torn to pieces and
twelve badly burned by an explosion
Of dynamite in the Shenandoah city
colIiery of the Philadelphia Reading
Coal and Iron company.
A box of dynamite which a workman
was carrying fell from his shoulder
and caused the explosion which ignit-
ed the mine gas. There were about
fifty men at work i'll the east gang
way of the shaft when the explosion
occurred, but SO far as known all es-
capped except those working on the first
lift. In this part of the shaft not one
escaped either death OF injury, and all
who were killed were mutilated beyond
recognition.
The force of the conclusion was ter
rible. Doors were torn off and brat
tees wrecked, every section of the
mine feeling the effect of the shock.
The work of rescue was begun at
once under the supervision of Mine IN
spectors lambs and Fenton, DIVISION
Superintendent Pollard and all the dis
trict superintendent.
The force of the explosion was felt
a great distance from the shaft, and
friends and relatives of the entombed
miners. rushed to the mouth of the
shaft. So great was the crush that it
was necessary to call on the coal and
iron police to keep the crowds back.
The work of rescue was necessarily
slow because of the great distance the
rescuers had to travel in the shaft. 1t
was several hours before the last miner
was brought to the surface.

RAMPAGE OF CRIME.
Telegraph Operator Ran Amuck at
ChambIee. Ga.

Alta NlTrn, Ca, Say iG.-Crazed by
drink and by disappointment in a love
affair, James III. Clark, Il telegraph OPP
orator at the little town of Chamblee,
a dozen miles north of Atlanta, broke
out in a rampage of crime and in less
than t~wenty-four hours killed one man,
severely wounded three others, slight
~ wounded Il fifth and dubbed a sixth
with a shotgun, set fire to the home of
one of his victims and when surround
ed by a posse shortly after noon shot
himself through the heart.
Clark, who came some months ago
from Baldwin, Ga, paid marked atten-
ton to the niece of E. S. Purcell, but
was discouraged. He went to the Pur-
cell home and demanded admittance.
which was refused. He set fire to the
kitchen, and when E. S. Purcell and
his son, w. j. Purcell, appeared to
fight the flames Clark fired upon them,
wounding both.
Returning about midnight, Clark
made another attempt to set fire to the
house, and when an attempt was made
to seize him he shot w. s. Mask, rail-
road station agent, in the neck.
Clark then fled to Dunwoody, about
five miles distant. where he went to
the store of Nash & Cheek and de-
manded ammunition. The store people
had been warned by telephone and re-
fused to sell the required cartridges.
Clark Immediately fired, killing Cheek
with a bullet through the heart. He
fired also at Mr.. Nash, inficting a dam
gerous wound. He then ran to the
woods. On the way down the railroad
tracks he met W. J.. Cocker, whom he
attacked, wounding him slightly.
Officers were reused at once. and
hounds were put on the track of the
insane man. He was cen in the road
way neal Chamblee shortly after noon,
and when he found himself surrounded
he ended his wild career with a bullet.

THROWN FROM TRAIN
AT P. R. R. CROSSING
Man Was Walking from One Car to
Another When Train Rounded
the Curve.

James Cole, a passenger from Mat
avian on Pennsylvania train No. 322,
in charge of Conductor Piatt, of Jer-
sey City, was thrown off the platform
of one of the cars Saturday night as
the train swung around the curve at
South Amboy. He was found later
by the towerman at South Amboy,
but was not badly injured. After
being washed and cleaned in the tow
er he was taken in charge by the
South Amboy police and later left for
home.
Cole was passing from one car to
another and was walking across the
platform just as the train swung
around the curve at the p. r. r..
crossing. He lost his balance and be-
fore he could right himself he was
thrown off.
A number of the passengers saw
the accident and they thought that
the man must have been thrown in
the Raritan river. They went to the
conductor and asked him to stop the
train and go back and make a search
for the missing man. The conductor
said that this was impossible, as the
train vas an express, but that he
would report the matter.
When the train arrived in this city
it was stopped and Conductor Piatt
reported to Agent White. In onver-
sation with a NEWS reporter, Mr..
White said that he had t%elegraphed
to South Amboy to the towerman at
that place, asking the latter to send
some one down to look for the fell
low. The towerman was alone, but
went on a search for the missing
man. He found Cole at the curve,
where he had been thrown off the
car. He was not injured, but was
somewhat dusty and dirty.
The police of South Amboy, it is
understood, Investigated the matter
thoroughly and they found that
Coles story was true, so they allow
ed him to go.

Harry DitzIer Received An Inter-
estinS Letter from a Relative
Shooting by Soldiers.

Harry Ditzler, of this city, has re-
ceived an interesting and thrilling
letter from a cousin, a young man
who went to San Francisco nearly a
year ago. In the letter he says that
he was sleeping in a front room on
the third floor of a house when he
was awakened by the crash of the
earthquake. The floor was rocking
and brick fell into the room, He
went to the window and saw Chin
neys and church steeples falling, and
the streets were pndulating like
waves to a height of four or more
feet, in places. He rushed out of h
house and saw sca~ntily-clad people
running hither and thither like man
iacs. He went to the ferry anq
crossed over to Oakland and return
ed to San Francisco in a day or two
and secured an appointment as a
deputy. He tells of seeing people
shot down by the soldiers. In one
case a man who asked seventy-nve
cents for a loaf of bread was shot;
another because he refused a drink
of milk to a fellow-sufferer; and an
other for declining to let the relief
corps have the use of his automobile.
