SCORES OF MEN INJURED Four Tons of Giant Powder Ex- plode at Boulder, Colo. Boulder, Colo., Aug. 1/—While a fire was destroylng the Colorado and Southern freight depot between 650 and 100 persons, who were assisting in quenching the flames or watching the work of the volunteer firemen, were injured by the explosion of four tons of dynamite on & flat car. No one was killed outright, but it ig thought that several will die from thetr injuries. The town was thrown into & panio by the catastrophe and mady of those hurt wero taken to their homes by friends or to houses in the immediate neighborhood where such attention as Inexperienced hands could render was given untll a phy- siclan arrived. Most of the injured ‘were more or less burned and a great many had bones broken. The origin of the fire has not been definitely determined, although many believe it to have been caused by in- Gendlaries. The fire had progressed only a ahort time and was in a falr way of belng brought under control throygh the unflinching efforts of 100 or more volunteer firemen, when & terrific explosion rendered many fire- men and spectators senseless and sent stones, bricks and timbers flylng in all directions. Panic seized upon the people and they ran hither and thith- er, many Injured and bleeding lying on the ground. As soon as the exclte- ment quieted down newspaper corre- spondents and city officers found that the railroad depot was in ruins and a number of houses and frelght cars had been blown to pleces. The force of the blast broke hun- dreds of windows throughout the city. The property loss s estimated at $280,000. ENDS LONG LITIGATION. Trustees of Hastings and Dakota Land Grant 8ecure Titles. Bt.

OTHER ADDITIONS TO RANKS ‘Walkouts Occur In Many Cities Not Heretofore Affected, More That Eight Thousand Employes of the Two Companies Having Quit Work. New York, Aug. 18.—The strike of the telegraph operators, which has aftected many cities throughout the country, was extended to New York during the day when men employed by both the Western Union and Postal companies quit work. The Postal strikers sald that 90 per cent of their men were out. The Western Union officials declared that only 80 per cent of their force left their keys. Extra police were called out to preserve or- der in the vicinity of the telegraph buflding, but there was little or no oo- ocaslon for their services. The crowds were orderly. * More than 8,000 operators are now out in all parts of the country, many additions to the ranks of the strikers having been made durlng the day in cities not heretofore affected. At Cleveland both the Western Union aund Postal employes walked out at the same hour. SITUATION IN CHICAGO. Telegraph Companies Claim to Be In Fair Shape. Chicago, Aug. 18.—Both the West- orn Union and Postal Telegraph com- panies olaim to be in better condition than at any time since the commence- ment of the strike of Its operators. Officers of tha Western Unlon sald that the company had more than 800 men at work and was able to care for business in fair shape. The Postal eompany clalmed to have about 100 mer and officlals also asserted that the delay In handling messages was not great. Both companies, however, bad posted im conspicucus places the notices that messages would only be acoepted subjedt to delay in transmis- slon. The officers of the union said the companies had but one-third of the number of men at work that they claimed and declared that y of them were télsgraph students who are not yet capskie of dolng good work. The deofsion of the operators in New York, Washington and Boston not to strike immediately did not dis- concert the officers of the union. Sec- retary Wesley Russell sald: “It makes no diffeffrence what the men East vote to do. When the time comes they will be ordered out and that will be all there is to it. They will come out when we want them.” Superintendent Cooke of the West- ern Union in this city has fssued a statement saying that there will not be any arbitration of tie strike. “I will receive no deputations of the strikers,” said Mr. Cooke, “and will hold no communication with them ex- cepting in a circular letter which I will send out. This will be brief and will read: ‘Having left the employ of the company you will apply at once for your pay.’” CAME AS A SURPRISE. New York Strike Had Not Been Ex- pocted Just Yet. New York, Aug. 18.—At 1 p. m. the operators in the main office of the Western Union here went out. There had been rumors that such a, move was In contemplation, but up to a few minutes before 1 o'clock there were no signs of the intended action. At exaotly 1 o'clock a shrill whistle was sounded through the big operating room and practically every man left his key. As the men left the building they were cheered by other operators who had gathered in the street. The cheering soon attracted the passersby on Broadway and in a few minutes a large crowd had gathered. There was oo disorder, however, and the police of the trafiic squad soon put the sight- seers in- motlon. Secretary Treasurer MclInerney of the logal Telegraphers' union said thet the local men had walked out without any order from the union of- fcers and that they took the matter in thelr own hands in going out. He sald the officers of the unlon, though, would stand by the strikers in their action. s Four hundred men and thirty wom- en quit work in the main office of the Postal Telegraph company. A few smployes remained at their keys. PHILADELPHIA IN LINE. Operators of Both Companies Walk Out There. Philadelphia, Aug. 13.—The West- era Union and Postal Telegraph com- panles’ operators went out on strike at 3:40 p. m. There was little evl- @ence of a strike movement among he telegraphers in this oity . until after the operators in New York went out. The Postal company was the first to feel the effect when two men refused to work with nonunion men In New York. They were immediately dismissed and shortly afterwards three more men were discharged for also refusing to man a New :York Wire. Other men also refused and at 8:40 p. m. President Sullivan of the local blew the whistle. SITUATION IS UNCHANGED Native Section of Casa Blanca Re- sembles City of the Dead.

FOUR OF THE CREW PERISH Other Steamer Escapes With Slight Damage, but Her Passengers Are Taken Off by Passing Ship and Landed in New York City. New York, Aug. 13—The three- masted schooner Myroneas, bound from Rockland, Me., for New York with a load of granite, was sunk in the middle of Long Island sound in a col- lison with the Neptune line steamer Tennessee, bound from Fall River to New York. Four members of the My- roneas’ crew were drowned, but Cap- tain Belatty was rescued by passen- gers on the Tennessee and one of his erew was #so0 saved by swimming to the steamer. The passengers of the Tennessee were taken off by the New Bedford line steamer Maine and brought to New York. The Tennessee anchored in the sound. She did not appedr to be much damaged. There was a heavy fog over the sound at the time of the collision. The Tennessee was crowded with passengers and was making very nearly her schedule time when.the schooner was sighted only a short distance away. The sailing vessel 'was so near that a collision was inev- itable and the Tennessee’s bow struck her amidship, tearing a great hole in her wooden planking. The Myroneas sank immediately. Captain Belatty, her commander, and one of the crew, who were on deck, jumped overboard. The sallor swam to the Tennessee and was hauled on board. Captain Belatty ‘was a poor swimmer and shouted for help. Joseph Kenney, a clerk of New York, and Michael J. Coffin, an ofler for the United States battleship New Jersey, both passengers on the Ten- nessee, jumped into the water and brought him alongside the steamer and supported him until a boat was launched. He was taken on board the Tennessee. Captain Belatty said that four of his crew were missing and must have gone down with their ves- sel. The T~ nnessee, which was only slightly damaged, lay by while a search was made for the missing sail- ors. The New Bedford line steamer Maine;-bound for New York, respond- ed to her signals of distress and, go- ing alongside the Tennessee, took off the passengers and brought them to New York.
