and Injuries Twenty-four.. q

Topeka, Kan.-Two persons were
killed, four were seriously injured
and twenty more were hurt in a ter
rife explosion of natural gas that
demolished five two-story brick
buildings at Coffeyville. The dead
are Mrs. J.. E. Mcdaniel and Jesse
Ross, a negro.
It is supposed that the gas escaped
from a mine somewhere in the block.
The buildings were occupied by a real
estate Office, three stores and a res
taurant. The second floors Of all the
buildings were occupied by roomers.
The block of buildings was leveled to
the ground. There a no insurance
against explosion. =
A fire started, but was quickly ex-
tinguished, as little was left to burn.
Several persons were buried in the
debris. One little girl, the daughter
Of S. D. Frazier, was under the tim
Der for twenty minutes, but was tax
en- out uninjured.
The explosion was heard five miles

der the Arkansas Anti Trust Law.

records before Special Commissioner

Judge Winfield, in the Pulaski Cir
cult Court, on motion Of Attorney
General Rogers, has ordered the an
swers Of the company stricken from
the record. Judgment is entered
against the company for $4,000 for
violating the Arkansas antitrust law.

was expected, it is the first point in
favor of the State in the suits which
were brought by Prosecutor Rhoton
and Attorney-General r. L.. Rogers.
It was also agreed that no further
action be taken in the other five suits
until this Ease is finally disposed Of

GET BODIES FROM SUBMARINE.
Remains of Hl-Fated Crew Horribly
Burned by Acids.

Eizerta, Tunis.-Six bodies were
removed from the French submarine
boat Lutin, which sunk off this port
October 16, with fourteen men and
two officers on board.
The bodies Of the commander,
Lieutenant Fepoux, and four men
we're found clustered a%midships. Six
other bodies were found in the stern.
and the remainder in the bow. All
were in a horrible condition, owing
to the action of acids. The identi-
fcation was by means of objects
found on the corpses. Most of the
mel were b%arefooted. The indica-.
tons are that they met their death
instantly.
The opinion prevails that the Lutin
tried to come to the surface too rap
idly, and that her stern consequently
struck on the bottom. This caused
rivets to start and plates to burst.
Six leaks were found in the hull.

FIGHTING ENGLISH SOAP TRUST.
Newspaper Publicity Aiding Firms
Which Oppose Combine.

London.-Great public interest has
been aroused here by the efforts Of
the English press to wreck the newly
formed English soap combine. The
trust began operations by issuing
soap in packets Of fifteen ounces to
the pound and by adopting the Gus
tomary methods to coerce the smaller
manufacturers into joining.
But a goodly number of prominent
firms have stood out and are being
rewarded by free advertisements in
the daily papers, which publish lists
of the firms outside the combination
and urge the public to confne their
soap purchases to them. The on
sumption of trust soaps has been Sc
riously affected by this boycotting
campaign, and already the short
weight packages have been with
drawn from sale.

Long Address-Divo-cc Decree
Prayed For.
Paris, France.-The Castellane di-
.vo-ce case was heard before M.
Henry Ditto, president of the Tri-
bunal Of First Instance of the Seine.
Neither the count nor countess, for
msrly Anna Gould, daughter of Jay
Gould, of New York City, was pres
ent.
Maitre Cruppi, for the countess,
pleaded for a divorce upon the docu-
mertary evidence submitted, and told
q complete and pitiful story of the
wreck Of her married life.
In an extended review counsel de-
clared that the countess at the be-
ginning Of the suit was not acting
under influence, but solely for the
purpose Of ending forever the peril
of the moral d%esolation of her house
hold. He explained the marriage
contract, by which the regime of
separation of property was estab-
lished, from the very beginning, and
stated that domestic difficulties arose
over the question of money.
Ill treatment soon followed, the
count even striking the plaintiff be-
fore the servants.
When he reached the question of
the infidelity charged against the
count, Maitre Cruppi did not mention
names or wen initials, designating
the correspondents as Nine. A."
Nine. B." and so ON
Maitre Cruppi asked that the
countess be given the custody of her
three children.
The courtroom was crowded,
among those present being many
members Of the American colony.
The early troubles Of the countess
married life were due primarily to
the counts inordinate extravaganza,
the lawyer declared. Even in spite
Of their domestic infelicity the count
ess was too good and scrupulous to
begin an action for divorce until she
possessed full proof.
Anna Gould was only twenty years
old when she was married in 1895 in
New York City to Count Boni de Cas-
~tellane, and, Maitre Cruppi asserted,
the happiness of the honeymoon was
disturbed on their arrival in Paris
by the counts demands for money.
The countess income was then $780,
600 ard the count allowed her $50
pin money.
In the face of the overwhelming
evidence. submitted, Maitre Cruppi
declared, his opponent could not ex-
pect the tribunal to ask for the sum-
moning Of witnesses, and added:
docs he imagine by dragging out
the case to obtain forgiveness? No!
No, Count Boni's plan to reconquer
his wife's affections is too transpar-
emit"
The final rupture came the day
after the famous entertainment of
King Charles of Portugal, December
~, 1905.
The count insisted that they, the
count and countess, so to a shoot
ing party given by a nobleWoman of
whom the countess had cause to COM
plain. When the count became en-
ragged at the countess refusal she
abruptly announced her intention to
separate from him and began legal
proceedings.
Counsel placed at SS,000,000 the
total Of the counts expenditures pre-
ceding the appointment of a trustee.
