Means to Break Strike.
CITY IS AS THOUGH BESIEGED
Hundreds of Military Telegraphers
and Automobiles Hastily Press
ed Into Service-Lyons
Mail Clerks Quit.

Paris, May 13.--As a result of the
great postal and telegraphic strike
Paris resembles city in state Of
siege.
Troops have taken possession Of all
the post and telegraph stations, and
! the streets are patrolled by mounted
republican guards.
All exposed telegraph lines are care
fully watched, and soldiers have been
introduced even into the sewers of the
city to prevent the cutting of wires.
These precautions were taken to pro-
tect all the postal employees who are
willing to work and to prevent the
threatened destruction of property.
General Dalstein has given orders that
the garrison of Paris be held in bar
racks
Furthermore 800 military telegra-
piers and several hundred automobiles
have been hastily pressed into service.
General Dalstein, the military gov
ernor of Paris, has $4,000 troops in re-
serve.
The postal employees held a mass
meeting and adopted n resolution to
continue the strike with unabated Wig
or. Prior to the opening of the pro-
ceedings a reporter of Il reactionury
newspaper was requested to leave the
building. AS he was complying his hat
was knocked over his eyes.
1t was announced that the number
of strikers was growing rapidly both
In Paris and the pro, inces and that
the mail clerks on the Lyons mail had
quit on the road.
Two detachments of naval mechan-
les summoned from Brest by the min
lister of marine have arrived here and
are now stationed in the machine
rooms of the central postoffice and the
central telegraph bureau. The Hotel
Keepers union has arranged to take
the mail of their foreign guests to
Brussels. from which point it will be
sent abroad. They are also devising a
scheme for the delivery of the incom-
ing mail.
The cabinet has summarily dismiss
ed 22S men under the new decree,
which authorizes the discharge of
strikers from the state service and
made other provisions for dealing with
recalcitrants. The ministers are conf
dent that the removal of the principal
fOmenters of the agitation will have
the effect of crushing the movement.
Owing to the detection of majority
of the mail clerks outgoing mails are
greatly retarded.

North Adams Mass. May Is. A
point to point race between the bal
looms Greylock and North Adams No.
l, which ascepded from here, was won
by DR.. Roger NJ. Randall of North
Adams, who piloted the Greylock to a
descent three miles from Leeds, which
was his objective point.
In the North Adams No n. II. Ar

Conn.,, fifty-tive miles from Turner's
Falls, Mass, which was the point Sc

race gives the Forbes cup, which was
won by Mr. Potter last year, to Dr.
Randall.
When DIR. Randall decided to land
from height of 1900 feet he dropped
to point Il mile west of Leeds and
was carried along with the car bump
ing over the tops of a forest for nearly
three miles before he was able to make
a safe descent.
AS soon as he jumped out of the car
the balloon shot upward at an alarm
ing rate, but he managed to hold it by
taking a turn with the drag rope
around the trunk of tree. The bot
tom of the car was badly torn by con-
tact with the treetops.

Disastrous Explosion of Dy-
Mantle In Stone Quarry.
BODIES BLOWN TO FRAGMENTS
Tons of Rock Are Hurled Into the
Air and Hundreds of Houses
In the Vicinity Are Bad
ly Damaged.

Albany, n. Y., May i3.-At least
twenty two men were killed by a
| premature blast of dyna mite in Il stone
/ quarry operated by the Callahan Road
Improvement company near the village
of South Bethlehem, eleven miles
southwest of Albany.
The dead include John Hoyt Caila-
nan. vice president and general man
ager of the company; Charles ID. Cal
lanan. brother of the manager; Leroy
Mcmillan, assistant superintendent:
John Hendrickson, steam driller fore
man; Fred Snyder. master mechanic;
James MalOney, blacksmith: William
Baumes, fireman; Fred Zappert, agent
of the National Power company, New
York, and fourteen workmen.
About a ton Of dynamite exploded,
scattering the bodies of the victims
for hundreds of feet around, and it
was with difficulty that the blackened,
dismembered remains. mutilated al
most beyond recognition, were iden-
tilted. A wagon took to the engine
house a load of fragments of bodies
that had been picked up back on the
quarry hill.
n crowd of grief stricken relatives
gathered around eager to identify the
dead. only to turn away at the sicken-
ing sight. Clothing hung in shreds
from the bodies from which the heads
of some were missing. Others lacked
arms or legs or both.
Preparations for the blast had been
going on for six weeks. Thirteen holes
five inches in diameter and about sew
enty-five feet deep had been drilled at
points about twenty feet back Of the
face of the big quarry. The displace-
ment was expected to amount to near
ly 10000 tons of rock, and over 5000
pounds of dynamite were to have been
used.
The workmen had placed 500 pound
charges i'll six of the holes and were
working on the seventh when there
was terrific explosion, hurting tons
of rock into the air and scattering the
bodies of the victims in all directions.
Several of the men were engaged in
pumping water out of the holes, others
were placing the charges of dynamite,
while the officers were standing near
by directing the work. Another force
of men were carrying dynamite from
the stOrehouses some distance away
when the death dealing blast which
was caused by the premature dis
charge of percussion cap exploded.
Hundreds of houses in the vicinity
were badly damaged. and consterna-
tion reigned in the village half a mile
away.
Soon after the explosion fire was dis
covered in the woods in which the
dynamite storehouse was located, and
it was feared for a time that the
flames might reach the building in
which carload of explosives were
stored, but the fire was extinguished
before the danger was reached.
1t developed that two of the great
| charges of dynamite remained unex-
ploded in the quarry. This rendered
difficult the search for bodies. the
workmen fearing further explosions.
