TRAIN BLOWN
 UP BY POWDER
TWO CARS IN CENTER OF BIG FOUR FAST FREIGHT Ex-
 PlODE IN ILLINOIS.
DEBRIS WIDELY SCATTERED
Two Men Perhaps Fatally Injured in Destruction of a Dozen Cars Cause of Disaster
 Mystery.

Litchfedl, 1.-Two carloads of powder in a moving fast freight train on the Big Four railroad ex- rloded early Tuesday morning.
 I've men were perhaps fatally in- jured, at least dozen cars were shat tered. then burned. and the nerves of Litchfield residents. along with those living within a radius of many miles of the disaster. are terribly upset.
 Shortly after i a. m. fast freight No. 70 pulled out from Litchfield. It had been inspected here at the instance of Conductor Murray, especial care being taken because of the presence of the two cars of explosive These had been placed about the center of the train, which comprised between 30 and 40 cars, mainly filled with general mer- chandise. No hot boxes or other dan- gers of drawbacks were found.
 Two miles east of here is a sharp curve. While the train was rounding it at rather high speed, the powder turned loose. The two explosions were distinct, yet so close together as to be almost taken for one.

Roosevelt To Be Named


The manner in which the name of
in the convention for denomination
has not been discussed, but that 1t
will be is undisputed.
The Result is Feared.
just what will be the outcome of
the movement is unfailing to picture
for conjecture and the explosive pos
sibilities in the injection at psy-
Geological moment, is fully realized
by all concerned.
On the Anxious Seat.
Close friends of President ROose-
welt and Secretary Taft declare them
selves prepared, however, to meet it
with convincing proofs that Mr..
Roosevelt himself views any such at
tempt with emphatic disapproval.
Prepares For > Days.
Preparations have been made for
five days of the convention, lastin g
until Saturday. 1t may run the full
five days and then it may be complet-
ed In three. 1t all depends to a great
extent what time is consumed in the
contests before the credentials COM
mittee. These hearing cannot in the
ordinary course be cleared up before
Thursday morning and it is expected
full course under the we'll established
average of four days.
Over 2,5OO Employees.
Nearly $500 employees are scatter
ed throughout the hail. OF thess
there are 1,500 assistant serseants-
alarms, 800 ushers, 800 pages and
200 doorkeepers. THESE men work
under the Supervision of William H..
Stone, Baltimore, sergeant-at-arms
of the Republican national commit
tee, and Postmaster David C. Owen
Milwaukee, first assistant sergeant
alarms. The office of these officials
is situated in the annex in the rear
of the speakers desk, which is also
occupied by quarters assigned to the
Postal Telegraph company, the West
ern Union Telegraph company, and
the press organizations.
The building is arranged so that
every delegate commands a full view
of the speaker. BY an ingenious ar
rangement every one of the $500
employees is hidden as effectually as
though they had left the building
while the meetings are in progress. In
case of disorder, which is not antici-
pated, these men will reappear as If
by magic Every one of the employ
es has been assigned to a position
which he will keep during the con-
vention. They are provided with
seats made of mating. At the first
word of the speaker they drop these

Upon them, leaving them even lower
than the delegates.
The newspaper correspondent are
cared for by an arrangement as in
genious. They sit upon a platform
surrounding the speakers desk, ex-
tending across the building and fit

as the exit used by a theater orches-

The total dead number about thirty,

Only the fact that about half the town

roscuing those who may have survived
that the rescuers are working with
grim determination.

ABOUT THE TOWER

Wilson into the anirs Of the water
Department. but the hearing viii be
resumed tomorrow morning when Chief
Engineer Theodore A. Leisen and pro-
badly water Commissioner p. Il. shaw
may be called to give testimony. Chief
Engineer Leisen has made the follow
ing statement explanatory OF part of
his testimony on Friday last:
AN erroneous impression has been
created by the published statement OK
my answer 70 the city solicitor ques-
tion as 10 whether the Rockford Tower
was Of any service az the present time,
and hope to have an opportunity 10
properly qualify my answer az the next
session OF the Investigation
1t is true that just at present the
water I'm the tower flows direct from
the Porter Reservoir. therefore, the
tower is serving no useful purpose at
the present moment. But even at pres
ont the pressure from the service IS
scarcely adequate for the properties
near tho tower, and as soon as the pro-
posed Alter plant is constructed ada
cent TO the new reservoir, then the
Rockford Tower viii be essential and
will again be put into regular service
and will continue 20 be as serviceable
and as necessary as it has been in the
past.
1T also serves a good purpose to-day
as balance or stand pipe when occa-
sion may require direct pumpage to the
distribution system.
Another question and answer which
as published In the press conveys an
Incorrect idea, was that IN reference TO
the main laid across the Brandywine at
West street. At the time this work
was projected the Rockford project was
considered an assured fact, and as
numbers Of citizens in the Ninth ward
were complaining of lack OF supply
due TO the heavy draft on the mains
from the Pennsylvania shops ana yard
at Todd's Cut. il became absolutely
necessary TO afford relief
Under the present new system the
high service main at West stret might
have been supplemented in some other
way. possibly at less coat but the low
service main IS a necessary and desir-
able feature Of the system. present and
future"
