Brunswick. Dec. 14.-Mrs. Laura
Smith, housekeeper for James NJ. Gil
key, a wealthy farmer was burned to
death at an early hour yesterday morn
ing in a fire that destroyed Mr. Gil
keys buildings. Mrs. Smiths two
year old daughter persisted with her.
The origin OF the fire is unknown.
Mr. Gilkey the only other occupant Of
me house, escaped with difficulty in
his night clothes and is unable to tell
connected story of the tragedy.
Neighbors did not arrive in time to
render any assistance and all that
was saved from the burning house
were some valuable papers that Mr..
Gilkey who is town treasurer, secured
from his desk.
The Gilkey farm is located on the
main road to North Stratford, n. H.
and is about two miles from that town
The buildings destroyed were above

PRESIDENT-ELE
TO MAKE TRIP
TO PANAMA
Will Leave for ISthmus Early
In January
MRS. TAFT ONE OF THE PARTY
Next Chief Executive to Take ONLY
Opportunity Likely During Next
Four Years.

Washington, Dec. l4.-W. II. Taft.
president elect, contemplates a visit
to Panama before his inauguration.
This visit is approved by President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root. While
1t has not been finally determined I'D
on, Mr.. Taft announced that it was
his inclination to go. He will leave
Charleston probably the last week in
January for a trip which will occupy
approximately twenty days.
There are many reasons. in Mr..
Tafts view, why the trip OF the presi-
dent elect to the isthmus would be of
decided advantage to the advancement
OF the canal project and consequently
to the United States. President Roose.
yelts visit proved a decided stimulus
to the work.
Mr.. Taft feels that this is practie.
ally his only opportunity to visit the
isthmus during his forthcoming term
as president He has not only keen
interest in the work. but an intimate
knowledge OF the details Of the stu
alton and with the personnel of those
conducting the operations there.
The visit which he is decidedly in
clined to make, would put him in dir
ect personal contact with the situat.
ion and would give him a clear and up
to date idea Of the method of proce-
dure being employed in the prosecu-
tion Of the work
The journey II made. would un.
doubtedly be on one of the navy's best
ships and Mrs Taft. who made the
first visit to Panama with Mr. Taft
four years ago, would without doubt
accompany him this time.
The only objection to the expedition
which has been pointed out ly careful
students OF the laws and constitution.
is that pending the official declaration
Of Mr.. Taft as president elect by the
action Of the electoral college and his
inauguration as president, there is no
substitution Of any one else in the
event of anything happening to him in
Panama but this is not regarded as OF
sufficient weight to detain Mr.. Taft
from a journey which is regarded as
important to the success OF the great
undertaking.

Venezuelan coast guard ship Alix with

At that time the Alix was lying close

which the Venezuelan government had
made to fire upon any of the Dutch
warshps committing a hostile act, the
Gelderland steamed in towards the
guardship and sent an officer and
guard in a launch to seize her. This
was accomplished without resistance
and no shot came from the forts on
land. The crew Of the Alix was put
ashore and the Dutch officer and mar.

men were killed and fifty injured. 1t
may be that others have been killed
for the bed is piled up in ell direc-
tons. Bias Obispo cut is about thirty
miles from Colon, and the shock OF
the great explosion was distinctly felt
here.
Numerous reports are current as to
the cause of the accident, but the Of
fetal version from Culebra, which
gives an estimate of ten killed and tif-
ty wounded, states that during the
loading of the last hole " the blast
the dynamite in this cutting was dis
charged and the remaining twenty
two tons were exploded by concussion
The holes had not been connected cleo
trically, as the discharge of the blast
was set for later on The last hole
was being loaded under the superyis-
ion OF one OF the most efficient powder
men i'm the employ of the commission.
A passenger train had just passed
when the explosion occurred but it
was not in any way damaged. The
majority Of the victims are Spaniards
Relief trains we're sent to the scene Of
the disaster and one which returned

the report that forty-hve Of The lnjur-

trio lights were set up and tonight

Tradition has it that the Panama
railroad consumes one hundred lives
for accidents, instructions and dis
ease yearly and the construction OF
the canal has not gone along without
exacting its toll. There have been
number of accidents la the last two
years. chief among which was the pre-

in the death-of seven men and the In
