A VESSEL BLOWN UP. Twenty Tons of Powder Exploded, But No One Killed. NEW SECRETARY OF EPWORTH LEAGUE Wilfred Murray Said to Have Been Found. GILBERT ISLANDS SEIZED. TWENTY TONS OF POWDER EXPLODE. A Bark Destroyed at Greenock, on Board Killed. Garexoc, Sept. 8.—The people of this city and vicinity were startled this morning by « deafening roar that was subsequently ascer- tained to have been caused by a powder explo- sion, The new bark Auchmountain, with twenty tons of gunpowder on board, has been lying at anchor in Firth of Clyde, off Greenock. ‘Those persons who were looking in the direc- tion of the bark say they saw a blinding flash of light, followed by a concussion that shook earth. Then adense smoke arose and when it lifted a little it was seen that the bark was blown to pieces. A most peculiar feature of the accident is that nobody aboard of the bark was killed. Some of the crew were badly burned, some were thrown it No One tion of the accident has yet been advanced. , ——— ONE WOULDN'T RAISE RATES. Why the Pennsylvania and Reading Com- panies Fall to Agree. Purapexeura, Sept. 3.—The officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company were seen this morning and asked whether they had received notice from the Reading Railroad Company withdrawing the joint tariffs for the transporta- tion of anthracite coal over the two lines. In answer to above inquiry it was stated that such notice had been received and it was pre- sumed that the notice had been sent because the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had de- clined, at the request of the Reading Railroad Company, to incrense the rate on anthracite coal to Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania railroad officials gave asa reason for declining at this time to increase the rate that it was believed at the present de- pressed condition of railroad rates on other commodities it would not be wise to advance the rate on a special trafic paying as good rates, as anthracite coal now pays in com- vison with other commodities; besides, they id not desire to have the advance of their rail- road rates used asa reason for an advanee in the price of coal. ae TO ELECT A SECRETARY. the Epworth League. Crevetaxp, Ouro, Sept. 3.—The national board of control of the Epworth League met here today under the presidency ef Bishop Fitz~ gerald. The board is coextensive in jurisdic- tion with the general conference of the M. E. Church and is composed of twenty-eight members, each general conference district of the United States having two members of the national board. One member of each district was chosen by the board of bishops at the recent quadriennial general conference; the other is chosen by the district through # dele- gate convention. The special business of the meeting is the election of a general secretary of the Epworth League, which bids fair to become one of the most important offices in the M. E. Church, “This election will be followed by the removal of headquarters from New York to Chicago. ‘The offices will he located in the building of the Methodist Book Concern on Washington street and will be the center of operations for a movement constantly growing in magnitude and importance. The conven- tion will continue until Monday. > SAID TO BE WILFRED MURRAY. ‘The Man Who Was Sought During the Hurl- bart Trial in London. fr.

Commissioner Peek continues the subject of attention of the democratic press, but refuses | to modify any features of his attitude, and he and Senator Hill are being openly denounced by democrata. Nothing can be learned at democratic head- uarters today as to the prospective return of Gisirman Dick from the west. He was expected here today, but it is now stated that he may not arrive before Monday.

The following telegram was received todsy by the marine hospital service from provincial secretary of Canada: Have wired » copy of your telegram to do- minion government with request to answer for quarantines which are under their control. Our provincial board has drawn the attention of the dominion government to the necessity of having Grove Isle quarantine ready to cope with any emergency. As protection of province depends particularly on that sta- tion, have requested dominion goverument to appoint a port physician for Quebec and one for Montreal and have recommended federal authorities toenforce eight days’ deten- tion of vessels from infected ports even if no cholera isaboard, and twenty days’ detention after disinfection when cholera is abourd. e+ A Long Vacation. } a lengthy vacation in jail by Judge Kimball this afternoon.

This down is often used for stuffing pillows, and it also can be used to make pretty white’ satiny balls to adorn the hair for evening dress, says the Recorder. Early in September, before the frost comes, gather the seed pod before it is fully ripe and strip it. You will find the down inclosed. Take each bunch of down with a seed on the end and place on a plece of coarse cotton. | The end further from the seed end must be placed in tion to tie. When you have enough down tie conceal a fine wire between them for a stem and tie securely, . When sufficiently dry the seeds will drop off, leaving you a lovely finffy ornament of purest white.
