BOUNDS OF AUTHORITY.
Question Raised In Connection With
the Salary of [. r. Brown.

the Salary of L. r. Brown.
Washington, April 27.-The question
whether General Leonard Wood over
stepped the bounds OF his authority
in the matter of the courtmartial Of
Louis f. Brown is involved in a claim
made by Brown for salary as a first
lieutenant in the volunteer forces of
the United States army, which was
submitted to the supreme court of
the United States. The case grows
out of a military trial of Brown, held
in San Luis in the military department
of Santiago, Cuba. in November, 1898,
when Brown was arrested upon a
charge Of conduct unbecoming an of
ficer. consisting of gambling with en-.
listed men. The courtmartial, consist
ing of five officers, first returned
verdict of acquittal, but when the re.
suit of the inquiry was brought to the
attention of General Wood, who was
in command of the department, he d.
rected the reconvening of the court,
and upon the second trial, and in the
absence of Brown he was found guilty
and sentenced to dismissal from the
service General Wood endorsed the
second verdict and in accordance with
his orders the sentence of the court
was carried out.
Brown, who is now resident Of
Houston, Tex, filed claim in the
court of claims for compensation for
the entire time between date of dis
missal and the date of institution of
his suit, amounting to s6,625, and the
oil @h62 hninu tho amount
he would have received from the time
of his dismissal until the date of the
discharge of the other officers and
men of his command. Both Brown
and the government appealed the case
to the supreme court. Brown attacks
the right of General Wood to order a
retrial of his case, and also his right
to endorse the sentence, claiming that
the latter duty devolved upon the pres
ident.

KILLED BY EXPLOSION.
Occurs In The Mixing House OF
Powder Mill,

Dubois, Pa Especially An explo-
sion occurred in the Emporium Pow
der Mill, located two miles west of
Emporium, Pa, which caused the
death of six men-three Americans
Charles Eckles, James Thomas and
William Moran, all OF Emporium,
and three unknown. Italian laborers.
The cause of the explosion has not
been ascertained.
The explosion occurred in the mix
ing-house. There were 1000 pounds
of dynamite in the building, and the
six men who lost their lives were
engaged in making dynamite by mix
ing nitroglycerine and wood pulp.
The town of Emporium was shaken
until windows fell in, and the jar
was felt as far as St. Mary's and
Driftwood, 20 miles distant.
When the men employed about
other parts of the plant had recover
ed from the shock they were unable
to find vestige of the Westinghouse,
the six men who were at work there
or any of their implements. There
was nothing at the site of the build
ing but a great hole in the earth -
feet deep.
Not a scrap of the building nor a
thread of clothing or particle of the
bodies of the men has been found.
The loss to property was about
$1,000.
