METEOR SETS OFF POWDER.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 3o.- That meteor set off the car of pow der and caused the disaster to the Big Four accommodation train No. 2 at Sanford, Ind, Saturday night, is the assertion of R. E. Brown, of Edgar county, Illinois.
 Brown lives on rural route No. 1, out of Paris. He stated today that on the night of the disaster and at the time Of the explosion a large meteor passed over his place. It appeared like a great ball of fire, he said. and made noise like a strong wind, The meteor, said Brown, was moving in the direction of Sanford and left a trail of sparks. Almost immediately after it's appearance, he said, the ex- plosion of the car of powder occurred.
 The crew of the freight train which carried the carload of explosive was examined here today by Coroner Lea witt The men declared that the ex- plosion came from one car which had been loaded at the Fontanet powder mill
 Their theory was that there had been a leakage of powder, which had been ignited by a spark from the passing locomotive. The belief was expressed, however, that some dyna mite had been smuggied into the car

ernment. The governments case con- sisted of evidence to show that the Chinese had been apprehended on this side of the international boundary, and did not have the necessary papers to show his right to be in Uncle Sam's territory. Through an interpreter the defendant then told the following story:
 He said that he had been engaged in the gardening business with an other Chinaman at Cananea, and some customary with the celestials, An Pc decided to appeal to some powerful member of his race to settle the ditfi. culty between himself and his partner. He accordingly set out for Naco. to engage the services of Gee Hing a prosperous merchant of that locality. After arriving in Naco he states that he was wandering around the city looking at the sights without any ac- curate- knowledge as to the location of the international boundary line, and that before he knew what had happened he had fallen into the hanus of an officer who took him to jail
 The story of the man seemed So plausible that Jones determined 70 look into the matter. and for that reason asked the commissioner to re- serve judgment, feeling that 1t would be a manifest injustice to punish the poor celestial for the heinous crime of looking at the sights with no in- tention of committing a wrong against the laws of the United States.
 Ever since the trial the Chinaman has laid in jail, never being told whether he was to be deported or anything else. and HOW he is to be again placed on trial.
 It would not be at all surprising to hear that An Pos heart gave out on him, because at the former trial he looked as if he were awaiting to have the death penalty passed on him. and several times asked If Uncle Sam would have him hanged for what the authorities termed an offense.
 It is a well known fact that when several prisoners broke out of jail in which the Chink has been confined, they invited him to go with them, but he simply said goodbye to them and stated that he had no reason to run away. In the morning when the city marshal found a portion of the roof of the jail gone he also found John Chinaman sitting innocently on the floor looking at the hole in the roof through which he could have crawled to liberty.
 It Is also known that an order for the deportation of Ah Pc was signed by Judge Murphy before he retired from office, but no action has been taken.
