New Jersey in the Communipaw sec.
ton OF Jersey City at three minutes
past the noon hour today worked ire
mendous property damage in that city
and threw lower Manhattan Island into
panic by shaking the lower end OF
the city and sending sickening vibra-
tons through the skyscrapcrs Of the
district
Ambulances and surgeons we're rush

to the hospitals. Several workmen
were reported unaccounted for, but up

The barge and nearest pier were

Of the explosion, hundreds Of thousands
OF clerks, stenographers and business
men were pouring from the Office
buildings of lower Manhattan for the

we're caught in the rain OF falling glass
which showered over the entire lower

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. FEB.

A REWARD OF 81, 900 has been offered
by the Keystone Coal and Coke Com
pany az Grcensburg, Pa, for nior-
nation leading to the arrest and con-
viction OF the person or persons who
have attempted to poison the family OF
David D. Moon, an employee OF that
company, who recently refused to go
on strike. The discovery OF the COW
ardly work was mado when Mr.. Moon
grew suspicious about bags OF candy
and cakes that were found by his chill
dren at different times on the porch OF
their home. He placed one bag IN the
hands OF Superintendent II. +. Bovard,
OF the keystone Company, who had
the candy analysed and found that 1t
contained sufficient amount OF poison
to kill three persons. Moon has been
working for the Keystone Company for
eighteen years. Everything that the
family eats is being carefully examined.
We live in perilous times. The use OF
dynamite on dwelling houses is an or
3inary occurrence, and the lives of
women and children are often menaced
by the vicious in different sections OF
the country The attempt to poison
the innocent children Of man who
has incurred the displeasure of his fel-
low-workmen is another Of the cruel
methods devised by cruel men.

Mylius Declared Guilty Of Eibei-Will
Serve One Year in Prison.

London, Feb. l.-EdWard +. Myths
was today found guilty in the kings
bench court on three charges of crimi-
nal libel against King George and was
sentenced to one years Imprisonment.
Mylius's offense consisted in reviying
in the Liberator, an anarchistic paper,
published in Paris, of which he was the
London correspondent, the story Of the
kings alleged morganatic marriage III
Malta in 1890 to daughter Of Admiral
Sir Michael Culme' Seymour.
King George did not appear at the
trial. Attorney General Sir Rufus
Isaacs explained the kings non-appcar-
auce by stating that his incapacity TO
be witness was not merely a waive
able privilege, but constitutional
prohibition which ne was unable to
disregard however he may have wished
to. The whole foundation Of the oft
told story OF the morganatic marriage
vas swept away by the testimony OF
Admiral Seymour himself. He testified
that he was assigned to the command
OF the Malta fleet in June, 1898, and
left England to assume command on
July s, 1898, the same day OH which
the king was married to Princess Vic
loria Mary, the present queen. Ele
denied that he or his family were i'll
Malta at the time of the alleged mar
riagc.
The admiral testified that he remain
ed in Malta three years and that bis
wife and daughters visited him there
each winter, the younger daughter
dying there in 1895.
All this time my daughters saw the
king, who was then the Duke OF York
only once, and that was at q garden
party" Seymour said. ! am sure
that neither of my daughters ever ad-
dressed the king.
Mrs. Grace Napier, the elder
daughter of Seymour, took the stand
and corroborated her father testimony.
The three sons of Admiral Seymour
also supported the testimony OF the
admiral and Mrs. Napier.
The crown advocate then produced
the Malta marriage register from 1883
1897, which showed only one entry OF
the name Of Seymour. This was 4
man. He declared that every entry in
the register was properly made out and
could be accounted for, prccluding the
possibility OF morganatic marriage.
The utter collapse OF the defense
made the condition OF the verdict
little more than 4 formality. In SEN
fencing the prisoner Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone censured him severely for
his 'wanton revcl in such base
libel"
Myths received the sentence with
apparent Indifference.
Following the sentencing OF Myths,
Attorney General Isaacs read this letter
to the court:
Il am authorized by the king to
state publicly that he was never mar
RED 10 anyone except the present
queen. The king would have attended
the trial to testify TO this effect il the
law officers had not advised that this
course would have been unconstitu-
tional'

WOMAN suffragistS OF Maryland have
started crusade against kissing. This
is the new slogan Of the Just Govern
ment League OF Suffragist OF that state.
Mrs. Calvin Gabriel, an advocate OF
woman's rights, says:
Officially, the suffragists have never
taken any action in regard to kissing
or not kissing, but | am sure there IS a
decided antiosculation sentiment among
us. The utter mcaninglessness OF the
performance, to say nothing OF the un-
sanitary element Of it, should have
killed the kiss long ago. The mcnaces
to health that are difficult to get rid Of,
such as open sewers and such things,
are bewailed, but ono Of the most dan
gerous practice one that constantly
disease, is allowed to flourish on &c
count of the mere maudlin sentiment.
Robbed OF this sentiment, there IS
nothing to kiss.

calls for police reserves, all OF which
added to the confusion. III the midst
of the excitement number OF horses,
stung by the falling glass, became un-
manageable and the traffic squad had a
busy few minutes in the badly con-
gested streets. At a late hour this
afternoons the cause OF the explosion
had not been determined.
The Catherine W., the barge on
which the explosion took place was
completely destroyed and not 4 vestige
OF the car could be found. A dozen
freight cars were overturned, and two
three-masted schooners lying at ad-
Joining piers were practically stripped
OF rigging and everything above 4
deck.
Windows on two Jersey Central ferry
boats were shattered and passengers
peppered with glass.
There was no fire following the ex-
p'osion. Merely deafening roar and
tremendous cloud of smoke which en-
veloped the entire city 1t is believed
that the list OF injured in the vicinity
will approximate 80.
at l 40, two bodies, believed to be
members OF the crew OF the barge on
which the dynamite was being loaded,
had been recovered. No trace has been
found OF any others OF the crew, which
is said 10 have consisted OF five men.

was nearby at the time OF the explosion,

GLOVER Brings
NEW COMPLAINT
SON WHO Is ATTEMPTING TO
BREAK WILL OF CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE FOUNDER SAYS
HE WAS DECEIVED.

Concord, ~ H.. March 25.-George
w. Glover, of Lead. S. d.. today filed
an additional bill of equity against the
trustees of the Christian Science
Church of Boston making a direct al
legation that his mother, Mrs. Eddy,
was deceived and led to bequeath her
property to the said church in ignor
ance of the fact that so great a be-
quest was forbidden by the laws OF
both New Hampshire and Massachu-
setts Also that he was deceived into
an agreement not to contest the will OF
his mother, without suspecting that an
illegal disposition of the property was
contemplated.
Another allegation is that the plain
tiff was estranged from his mother,
through the Vaccinations of directors
OF the First Church of Christian
Scientists, her mind having been pois-
oned against him by false statements"
The fundamentals of a belief i'm a
malicious animal magnetism" are set
forth and it is declared that Christian
Science practitioners are allowed To
use the same methods in combating
those who are addicted to this "evil
practice"
