Sometime ago, the Independent
contained an account OF the govern
ment's having decided to drop the
case against the old 1'dier, F. w.
Nurenberger, who was charged with
characterization Of perjury. This
statement was not correct. The fact
of the matter is that the supreme
court had reversed the case, AMI a
new trial had been ordered. Some
Of the testimony against Nurenberger
is said to have been more or less
co1orei, so much SO in fact that the
prosecuting attorney refused to again
try the case.

MEN BADLY MANGLED
Were Standing About the Fire When
Explosion Took PIace-One
Stick Caught Fire Ex-
podins Others.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, March oe-
Eight persons We're illed and eleven
injured by an explosion of four hum
dred pounds of dynamite near Pride.
this morning. The men were engaged
thawing out the dynamite which was
capped, one stick catching fire, ex.
ploding, setting off the rest. All men
were engaged in double-tracking the
Norfoll, and Western railroad. All
the men were standing around fire
preparatory to going to work. The
victims were horribly mangled Gev-
e, | persons VINO were working near
the scene Of the explosion were badly
injured. The victims were rushed to
the city hospital and nearly every
physician of the city called. Most OF
the victims are foreigners.
How Explosion Occurred.
j. ID. Mcnamara, general foreman
of the road, was an eye witness Of the
explosion. He said the men were
seated around the fire waiting for the
dynamite to warm. The hole in which
/ 1t was to be placed was dug during the
night One of the colored men noticed
stick of dynamite Oh fire and picked
/ 1t up, tossing 1t, as he supposed. into
the brush. 1t hit camp car
near them and being capped exploded
from the concussion. This set off the
rema ming 400 pounds with a roar that
was heard for miles.

The Office of pharmacy commission
