Dynamite EXPL0DES
UNDER NEW VIADUCT IN NEW
YORK CITY.
Great Damage Was Done, and Looks
as if the Outrage is the Outgrowth
of Minor Labor Trouble.

New York, March 31.-A heavy
charge of dynamite, said to have
been placed by dissatisfied laborers
recently employed on the construc-
tion of the new steel viaduct over
the Hoboken Meadows was exploded
with tremendous crash at 3:15
this morning, wrecking one Of the
supporting pillars of the structure
and shattering every window in the
neighborhood for radius of quar-
ter of a mile.
A number Of persons are k-own
to have been cut by flying glass and
falling plaster, but no word has been
received of fatilities as yet.
The rumble of the explosion was
heard throughout Manhattan and
far into the Long Island suburbs and
for hours the various police stations
were busy answering inquiries as
to the nature of the explosion and
it whereabouts.
AS soon as the source OF the de-
tonation had been traced the re-
serves from the Hoboken police sta
ton were sent to the scene as were
a number of ambulances from va
rious hospitals.
The neighborhood Of Willow ave-
nue., where the explosion took place,
was thrown into a panic and scanti-
ly dressed men and women rushed
into the streets in terror.
An investigation showed that tbs
charge of dynamite had been placed
at the base of one Of the steel up
right supports and that the force
of the explosion had completely torn
it from it's concrete foundation.
It is said that recently there had
been minor troubles among the
workmen employed in the construc-
ton of the viaduct, and that the
outrage may have been perpetrated
by some mal-contents in revenge for
fancied wrong.
The viaduct which had been TWO
years building, is structure nearly
half a mile long, connecting Ho-
boken with West IIoboken over
wide idea Of sunken meadows.
No estimate has as yet been plac-
ed on the damage caused by the ex-
plosion but it is believed that it will
amount to several thousand dollars.

after MANY YEARS
A ROMANCE OF THE CIVIL WAR
ENDS IN
The Marriage Of Man and We
man After Half a Century Had
Passed Away.

Chicago, April Letters writ
ten by a tender hearted invalid girl
during the civil war to cheer the
heart of a wounded soldier she had
never seen, form the foundation OF
a romance which has found its cul-
mination after many years.
The climax comes in a wedding at
Oak Park, the contracting parties
being Mrs. Anseline Gum, widow,
writer of the letters, and Captain
Seldom NJ. French, of Denver, who
received them. The captain is 67
years of age, his bride 65.
When a youth of nineteen Captain
French joined the 18th Iowa regi-
melt, and went away to war. Mrs.
Gum, then a girl Of II, was an in
valid, confined to her home in a
small Iowa town.
The girls in the town decided to
do something to help the war, and
it was finally arranged that each
should select the name Of wound
ed soldier, write to him and en-
courage him in the struggle.
A lot was drawn, and the invalid
girl drew tthe name of Captain
French who was at the time suf-
fering from a wound in a Southern
hospital.
At the close of the war the two
lost trace Of each other, and both
married. Captain French and his
wife moved to Denver and the girl
whom he had grown to think Of as
sister became Mrs. Gum, and a
resident of Austin. A few years
ago the captains wife died.
Three weeks ago Captain French
came here for visit. Prevailed
upon to recount some Of his expert
ences in the war, the veteran told
Of the unique correspondence he
had with the girl he had never
seen. He was astonished to learn
that the writer of the letters was
a widow and lived only few blocks
away.
Captain French decided upon an
immediate call at the home of his
wartime "siste-." The friendship
which losg had lain dormant ripen-
ed into love and a wedding was ar
ranged.
The couple Immediately after the
ceremony departed for Pittsburg
Landing, Tennessee, to attend the
annual reunion Of the National AS
sociation of Survivors of the Bat
tie Of Shiloh.

CHARLESTON BLIND TIGERS
To Be EnjoineI by the State su-
Dreme Court.

To BE EnJolneI DJ the state ou-
preme Court.
Charleston, April 2.-The Post
states that, according to common re-
port Charleston is to be literally
blanketed with injunctions, and by
this process of law, under the nui-
sance provision Of the dispensary
act, the yiolators are all to be reach
ed in course Of time. The State
authorities have found this better
and more practical way of reaching
the violators than by the process
of jury trials, especially in commu-
mites where the jurors will not rem
der verdict in accordance with the
evidence, On account of their preiu-
dice. There is likelihood that Pat
Carroll will have company in the
county Jail before long, because it
is said that the restraining orders
of the supreme court are being vio-
lated by the dealers, and it is the
intention of the attorney generals
office to have the orders enforced
to the letter.

TOO BIG TO SAW
WASHINGTON HAS THE BIGGEST
TREES IN THE WORLD.
4 House Made From a Single Log.
Red Cedar Is the Largest Tree
That Grows.

Washington, April 5.-The Stat
of Washington boasts the larges
logs and the densest timber tracts
in the world. 1t is estimated tha
there are $4,000 acres of timbereC
land in the State, containing timebl
enough to build plank road three
inches thick and 500 feet wide
twice around the world. 1t would
load 10.000,000 cars of 10000
feet each, each As feet long equa
to IS, ,227 miles Of trains, or three
and half times the measure of the
globe at the equator.
T. would build 100000 six OF
eight-room houses, enough to house
one-third the people of the United
States. The timbered area runs
20,000,000 feet to the square mile
One acre recently showed 100000
feet. One mill cut 100000 from
less than two acres, the logs run.
ming between $4,000 and $4,000 feet
each. Washington has the logs to
back these claims.
On his recent trip to Panama
President Taft noticed several spud
sticks 36x40 inches and 80 feet long
and asked where such timber could
be found. These were cut at Bel
lingham, Wash. Last week a firm
operating at Buckley hewed a yel-
low fir log 60x6O inches and 80 feet
long. 1t was too big to be handled
in mill
The prize winner, according to
millmen at Seattle, should be log
sent from that palce to San Fran
cisco which was so big that no mill
could saw it, the trimming having
to be done by hand with axes. The
log measured "a inches by "a inch
es and was 104 feet long when hewn
into shape. The largest log ever
cut in any mill in the State was 70
inches in diameter at the smaller
end.
\ ar Elma, Wash, woodsman
built house from the lumber sawed
from one tree, 800 feet in length.
house contains $4,000 feet of
timber. On the west slope of the
Cascade mountains red cedar blew
across the railroad. 1t was quicker
TO dynamite the old giant and re-
pair the tracks than build track
around it or seek saw that could
not make the two cuts in les than
eight days.
There is a cedar tree in Snobomish
county owned by the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Company which is declared
to be the largest tree on the conti-
nent, exceeding in girth by three
inches the largest of the trees of
the famous redwood forest of Cali
fornia. This cedar measures 104
feet inches in circumference and it
is over $50 weet to the first iimeb,
which is believed to be over 5 feet
in diameter. The most famous tree
of the redwoods is 104 feet in cir
cumference.

HAD CLOSE CALL
AN AIRsHIP FLYING AROUND BE-
YOND CONTROL.
Passed Through Terrible Snow
Storm, But Finally Landed Safe

Munich, April 1.-The Zeppelin
airship, with the count himself on
board. is a playthins of the winds
and is being swept helplessly over
the country. She is out Of control
and drifting, with no hope of being
able to make headTay against the
increasing wind. Tse wind is too
high to attempt landing.
Soldiers in swift automobiles are
racing over the country after the
vessel, in order to be on hand should
the attempt be made to alight and
several squadrons of heavy cavalry
have been ordered out and are gal
loping down the roads to the north
eastward for the same purpose.
The airship left Friedrichshafen
this morning and five hours later
appeared over Munich The distance
of Ill miles was covered in five
hours. Count Zeppelin intended to
sail to Munich and back.
A heavy wind being encountered,
Count Zeppelin sought to avoid il
by rising to higher altitude, bu:
this manoeuver apparently was un-
successful, for the balloon was driv-
en- rapidly from the sight of the
people Of Munich in a northeasterly
direction.
The ship is manned by the Count
Zeppelin, Major Sperling, several
officers Of the engineer corps and
g crew of soldiers from the ballon
battalion Of the German army. When
its peril became apparent. soldiers
we're ordered to take every measure
to aid.

RESIST TAXES
Iexas Indians Kill Tax Officers
And Tribe Breaks
into OPEN WARFARE

The Trouble Was Caused by the
State and County Authorities Fry
ing to Collect Taxes on the In
dams Property and Confscating
1t for Not Paying.
Ell Paso, Texas, April Rebel
Iious at the attemp: Of the authoTl-
ties to collect taxes and conhscate
property, the Temosachic Indians IN
the State of Chihuahua broke into
open warfare, killing several tax OF
fcials, terrorizing the town of San
Andreas, and cutting the telegraph
wires.
The Indians then sent out a gener-
al call for reinforcement to resist the
enforcement of taxes and the con-
fscation of property. Two tram
loads of troops have been sent IRON
chihuahua to quell the rebellion.
The officers we're killed when they
tried to confscate property, because
of the non-payment Of taxes.
Regular troops and Rurales were
rushed to the scene when the news
first reacher chihuahua and since
then reinforcements have gone out
on special trains.
The Indians cut the telegraph
wires and word of the uprising went
to the State capita! by telephone.
The country is thickly populated
with descendants Of Temosach1c IN
dians. The ranches in the region
are known as the "Sharp Shooters OF
chihuahua" and they are feared
by State officers. The Indians and
half-breeds always go armed ana
are skilled at warfare.
There has always been considerable
unrest in the region, especially since
the numerous arrests of revolution
lists at Casa Grandes. A few years
ego seventy armed Tenosachic In
dians in open battle stood on reg
iment Of troops, killing more than
900 men. They were later forced
back to a church which was stormed
by artillery before the Indians were
subdued.
According to Ell Correo, daily
newspaper of Chihuahua, the trouble
at San Andreas over State taxes
arose between the two families OF
Murga and Barrangon last Saturday
night.
The Barragon faction, Ell Correo
saws, started a dispute with the Muir
gas and the Murga forces upheld
the State government in its levy
against livestock. Pistol shots were
exchanged.
The State tax collector, who be-
came involved. was wounded. Sold
iers were sent from Chihua hua on
the regular trains to Quell the riot
but when the troops arrived, the
combatants had fed to the hills.
