WORK OF WREcKERs.
Keystone Limited DeraiIed Near Will
 merding Out of Revenge.

merding Out of Revenge.
 PITTSBURG. March 2s.-Evidently in revenge for fancied wrongs, train wreckers derailed the Keystone Limit ed on the Pennsylvania railroad half Il mile east of wiImerjing. Several trainmen were slightly injured. but none fatally.
 The fish plates had been removed. together with the spikes. at a rail con nection and the rail pushed inward by some person. for whom the railroad detectives have been searching.
 Engineer Poorbaugh and Fireman Johnson had hairbreadth escapes. They received severe bruises on the shoul- ders. head and legs.
 The deed was evidently done by the persons who wrecked the Chicago Linn ited at Stewart Station last Friday morning. The same plan was carried out. and only the slow speed of the train. thirty miles an hour. saved it from turning turtle. diving over a steep hank and crushing out perhaps score of lives.
 The Pennsylvania Railroad company has offered rewards aggregnting s5.lso for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved in the wrecking of its trains. The derail- ment of the Chicago Limited last week and attempted wrecking of the Key stone Limited led to their action.

SCHMITz INDIGNANT
San Francisco's Mayor Denies
 Doodle Charges.
MEDICATION WILL COME, HE SAYS
Grand Jury Trying to Trace Pay ment of s3OO,OOO as Alleged Graft to Insure Home Telephone
 Company Franchise.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 2S.-Nlay- or Eugene F.. SchmitZ in statement denied the truth of charges published in local papers 10 the effect that the prosecution has abundant evidence that Schmitz profited to the extent of not less than S662. 900 from participation in the "boodling' operations now under investigation by grand jury.
 These charges he said. 'are mali ciously false. and as soon as l am af- forded the legal opportunity I shall prove them to be untrue"
 He declared himself anxious for q speedy trial. but said it was unfair that he should be brought to trial be- fore any judge in San Francisco. all of whom. he alleged. were biased. He declared it outrageous that he should be kept for four months under a foul cloud. with the prospect that the trial would be delayed for another four months.
 The mayor said this was no time for libel suits. but when he had been tried and judged by jury he would give no quarter. He says his annual income was $9.600. that he was not high liver and that he had not neglected op- portunities for investment. He said that he had never made improper use of these investments and would show fin court where he had got every penny since he had been mayor and what he had done with 1t.
 The grand jury is trying to trace the course of the S:,O0.OO0 said to have been sent from Los Angeles for the alleged purpose of obtaining a fran chise for the Home Telephone compa- ny. It is stated that the money was sent to an Oakland bank to the credit of the telephone company. then trans ferred to another hank to the credit cf the Empire Construction company. an allied corporation.
 The prosecution hopes to show by the books of the bank that the purpose of changing the deposit was to cover up the alleged payment of money to the supervisors.

 brought into court and found all the members of his family awaiting him. He looked exceedingly well physically and smiled greeting to his mother. his wife and his sisters and brothers. He then turned to where the three commissioners sat and gazed tixedly at them for several minutes.
 Justice Fitzgerald in discharging the jury until next Monday warned them to be careful not to discuss the case in any way or to read any newspaper ac- counts of what is taking place. It was said that in directing the jury to re- port next Monday Justice Fitzgerald did not wholly expect that the commits sion would be ready to render an opin- ion by that time. If the commissions inquiry is prolonged the jury will be called into court every few days in order that 1t may be kept intact for a resumption of the trial should Thaw be declared sane at the present time.
 Messrs. Mcclure, OIney and PutzeI conferred for some time together and finally announced the time for their first formal session and that they would he open to the public. The con- mission hopes to get under way with out any delay whatsoever and will press the inquiry to the speediest pos sible conclusion.
 Before the commission Dr. Allan Me- Lane Hamilton will loom up as one of the most important witnesses to show that Thaw is of unsound mind at the present time.

 Wrecked by Explosion.
 NEW YORK, March 2S-A spark from hammer blow ignited quan- tity of set pieces in the finishing room of the Consolidated Fireworks compa- ny at Graniteville. Staten Island. and in the explosion that followed one man was torn to pieces, a boy and two girls probably fatally injured and seven other persons more or less seriously burned.
 The man. two boys and eight girls were in the room, which occupied one of the 120 buildings of the company. Henry Paul. sixteen years old, was mailing the wooden bottom on a "gey- ser" piece when spark from his ham, mer stared fire that almost instantly filled the. room with shooting stars and blazing magnesia balls. There was q rush for the door, and six of the em- ployees had reached the outside when terrific explosion rent the building and enveloped the less fortunate ones in flames.
 Arnold Ruff. aged thirty years, was killed instantly. His head was torn from the body and the flesh from the bones. Paul was burned from head to foot. as were Helen Decker. aged sev- enteen years. and Margaret Koski, nineteen years old. These three can hardly survive. The hair was burned from the scalp of the girls. Hazel Decker. twin sister of Helen. was serl- ously burned. but will recover
 The explosion caused a second ex- plosion. which destroyed another build ing adjoining. but the twenty occu- pants of the latter place had time to escape. The monetary loss is probably S2,OO0
