TO SUE DIRECTORS.

Stockholders of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company had lively hour
and half at their annual meeting in
Chicago, yesterday, owing to the pres
ence OF Attorney Maxwell Edgar, who
held 80 shares OF the 7S4, 966 shares of
stock represented. Mr.. Edgar was ac-
companied by two deputy sheriffs, who
added to the confusion by serving sub
,poenas during every lull in the meeting
on the various directors.
The subpoenas were in suit for
100000 damages, which Mr.. Ed
gar, constituting himself an attorney
for the road, started in the Circuit
Court of Chicago, yesterday. The de-
PENDANTS to the suit are the directors of
the road, whom Mr.. Edgar seeks to
hold responsible for financial loss
through alleged car-repair graft, gen.
eral mismanagement, and alleged re-
batting.
While the two deputies were making
things interesting in the meeting half a
dozen others guarded exits from the
building, Mr.. Edgar fearing that some
OF the directors might attempt to evade
service.

BIG BOILER EXPLODES.
Six Men Blown to Pieces and Four
Fatally Injured.

New York, Oct. 20.-Six men were
blown to bits, four were fatally injured
and score or more seriously hurt
when a big ten ton boiler exploded
today in the plant of the American
Manufacturing Company, a jute con-
Germ, at Greenpoint, L. |.
When the huge boiler let go, tearing
t rough the walls OF the building, and
hurting mutilated bodies over block,
twenty Five hundred employees in the
plant stampeded for the exits. Two
thousand of the employees were women
and girls, and they jammed the door
ways and stairways, trampling upon
each other in their panic-stricken effort
to leave the building.
There were dozen men at work on
the big boiler when it exploded.
Work had just begun for the day,
and the big iute factory was filled with
employees. Without the least warning,
the big cylinder split like a bomb
hurting the workmen through the
wrecked walls, and driving four big
cylinder heads up through three floors
OF the building.
All OF the dead we're machinists a
work on the boiler. Three of then
were blown through a side wall OF the
building, and their bodies were found
horribly mangled, in the street. The
others were found under the debris.

The Crippen Case.

London, Oct. 20.-The Crown closed
at / O'Clock this afternoon the prosecu-
ton OF DR.. Fl. FL. Crippen, and the
dapper little American doctor at once
prepared to take the stand in his own
defense. 1t was expected that he would
enter an emphatic denial TO all the
charges.
There was general belief about the
court room that the Crown had failed
to make out strong case, in that it
had not been able to prove positively
the identity or sex OF the body found i'll
Crippen's home.
Today's testimony for the Crown was
repetition of that brought out in the
preliminary hearings.
DR.. II. H. Crippen took the stand in
his own defense this afternoon.
Crippen said the last time he saw his
wife was on January 81, of this year,
and he said he believed that she fed to
America. To avoid scandal, in con-
nection with her and Miller, Crippen
said he concoted a story that she had
gone to America to attend to certain
private business for him in California,
and that while on her way to the Amer.
lean continent she had died and had
been incncerated there"
Crippen admitted that after his wife
disappeared, Miss Leneve lived with
him as his wife in the Hilldrop Cres-
cent home. He had been intimate with
her during the past three years. He
said he had frequently visited hotels
with her. Crippen was questioned re-
garding purchases of hyoscin, the deadly
poison which he is charged with having
used to murder his wife. He declared
that lie had never given his wife any
poison. The hyoscin, he swore, he had
given in very small doses, to several OF
his patients who had been suffering
from nervous disorders.
Crippen denied not only that he knew
the identity OF the body found in the
cellar of his Hilldrop Crescent home,
but also that he knew Of anybody being
in the cellar until he was brought back
to England under arrest.

ROYAL EXiIes in England.

London, Oct. 0.-Accompanicd by
his mother, Queen Amelie, and his
suite, Manuel, deposed king OF Portu,
gal, is today housed at Wood Norton,
Eversham, Worcestershire, the estate
Of the duke Of Orleans. Ia the cX-royaI
party are the duke OF Orleans, the
Marquis dc Several, the Portuguese
minister, and Senior Nillay Urrutia,
the Spanish ambassador.
Manuel and Amelia reached Ports
mouth at ! O'Clock last. night on tile
English royal yacht Victoria and
Albert, and Immediately embarked for
Wood Norton. There was no saluting
and no public reception. Both Manuel
and his mother were very pale and
worried.
Now that Manuel is safely refuged
IN England, people are wondering
what is to become Of the king with
out job" 1t is the general belief
in court circles that Manual will soon
be on the lookout for rich American
bride.
Manuel's statues in England also
is causing considerable worry. He will
have no official standing, but in his
private capacity he will move in royal
circles and be recognized by other
ROYALTIES as one of them.

Col. JOHN S. MosBY recently made a
protest in the newspapers against the

men," Il don't reckon that OF the
three hundred men in my command as
many-as one hundred are still living, .
said Col. Mosby. Il only know posi-
lively OF about fifteen, and they arc
scattered all over the country. But II
I had had as many men as now say
they we're with me | could have driven
Grant out OF Virginia. Every time
they have a reunion there are some
hundred or more who register as Mos
by's men, and they are looked on as
heroes. / bet a-lot OF them have beer
born since the war began" Col.
Mosby is right. In this city on the oc-
casion Of Confederate reunions, men
have posed as veterans who during
the war were boys seen daily ON the
streets of Alexandria.

AGAIN ON TERRA FIRMA.

Walter Wellman and his five COM
panions we're landed at New York
yesterday afternoon by the steamship
Trent, which picked them up at sea
after they had abandoned their diri-
gible balloon America, and failed in
the first attempt ever made to cross
the Atlantic throught the air. A
bruised right hand, which Wellman
carried in sling, was the only phys
ical injury that resulted from their
long voyage of approximately 900
miles, and rescue the like Of which
is unknown to all history.
None OF the aeronants expressed re-
greet for the loss Of the America.
They agreed that it had served its
purpose and taught its lesson. All
stand ready to renew the attempt as
soon as Wellman and the engineers
find way to conquer the difficulties
that brought their first trip to its
thrilling end last Tuesday morning,
400 miles southeast OF Sandy Hook.
Wellman made this statement:
"We thought we could not get along
without the equilibrator. Now We find
we couldn't get along with it. Our,
plans for the future are indefinite
until we find some thing that will do
what we thought the equilibrator would
do"
The "equilibrator" to which Well
man attributes the failure of his voyage
was the series of tanks containing gaso-
line which hoated in the water attached
to the airship by a long rope. Its pur-
pose in addition to storing gasoline and
serving as wireless ground" was to
keep the balloon steady compromising
for the expansion and contraction OF
gas due to change in temperature which
would have made the America rise or
sink erratically. The Americas ex-
perience proved that this floating tail,
Jerking at the delicately poised airship,
made it impossible to steer or make head
way in the desired direction and severly
weakened the structure. To find another
means OF compromising for this un-
avoidable change in the volume of gas
is the problem to which Wellman and
his engineer, Melvin Vaniman, will now
devote their attention.
The direct cause for abandoning the
America was the exhaustion of the
supply of gasoline, which had to be
out to save the ship, until when
the crew abandoned the balloon only
enough was left to last about "a
hours,

DAVID B. HILL DEAD.
Veteran Politician Passes away at
Woolfert's Roost at an Early Hour
thfo Morning.


Woolfert's Roost at all Early Hour
this Morning.
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 2O.-Ex.-U. S.
Senator David B. Hill, died at his resi-
dence, Woolfert's Roost, at 3:45 this
morning.
For two weeks he had been i'll with
a cold and complications. The only
person in attendance at the time OF his
death was the senator's nurse.
David Bennett Hill was the last OF
the old time politicians who made dem
ocratic history liz New York state when
that party secured control OF the state
government following the famous stall
wart and halfbreed republican hight
which involved President Chester A..
Arthur and Senator Roscoe Conklin.
He was for years in absolute control OF
the democratic party organization IN
the state and his bitter conflicts with
the Grover Cleveland organization IL
nally eliminated in Cleveland abandon
ing New York state as his home.
Born in Havana, N. Y, on August
20, 1S4S, young Hill received an
academic education and then moved
to Elmira where he studied law. Ad-
mitted to the bar in 1864, he at once
took an interest in politics and that
very same year he was made city
attorney of Elmira. He was delegate
to the democratic national convention
OF 1877 and from that time until 1900
he was conspicuous figure at the big
gatherings of his party.
Hill was elected mayor OF Elmlra
in 1882, and in the fall in 1893 he
was given second place on the state
ticket, headed by Grover Cleveland,
as governor, and Cleveland and Hill
frequently clashed.
Hill served as governor OF New YORK
from 1888 to 1891 when he was elected
u. S. Senator and served in the latter
position until 1897 Although he
fought Bryan in the convention OF
1896 and retired to his Albany home
during that campaign, saying: ! am
democrat still-very still, )" he seconded
the nomination of Bryan in 1900.
After the defeat of Bird S. Coler in
1902, Hill said he was through with
politics. Since that time he has attended
to his practice OF law and lived quiet
life at his country home here.
