HPRINLEY CONTROLLING EVERYTHING Outlook in the Different Congres- sional Districts. MAJORITIES IN 1892 AND 1893 Special Correspondence of Evening Star. = COLUMBUS, ont, Feb. 21, 1804. If any further evidence were needed to show that Gov. McKinley has completely displaced ex-Gov. Foraker in the leader- ship of the republican party in Ohio it was furnished in the convention of the state league of republican clubs here last week. The league was formerly a Foraker machine. It conducted a campaign each year, ostensibly as an adjunct to the re- publican state executive committee, but really to take care of the political interests of Foraker. In the convention this year, W. S. Cappeller of Mansfield, A. D. Fassett of Toledo, Charles L. Kurtz of Athens and Eli M. West of this city—old Foraker wheel horses—were conspicuous by their absence. Their places were taken by active Mc- Kinley supporters, such as E. M. Doty of Cleveland, D. L. Sleeper of Athens, E. M. | Bosler of Dayton and John L. Locke of Cambridge, while every mention of the rame of Gov. McKinley was cheered to the echo. The organization has undergone a complete transformation, and the For- aker machine is smashed. The failure to elect C. P. Griffin of Toledo speaker of the house, its last political effort, seems to have proved fatal. If Foraker or any other Ohio republican is especially honored by | the republicans of Ohio soon, it will be either because McKinley does not care for it himself or grants it in a magnanimous spirit. Coming Congressional Election: In view of the political revolution in this state last fall, the coming congressional elections are now wholly engaging the at- tention of Ohio politicians. The present districts were made by a republican legis- lature, and it was intended to be a gerry- mander in favor of the republicans. Based upon the returns from the last state elec- tion, before the gerrymander was made, it promised fifteen republican representatives and six democrats. The proverbial slip "twixt the cup and the lip occurred, ho ever, and instead of electing fifteen Con- gresmen, the republicans secured only ten— less than a majority, Thus matters stand at present. The normal republican districts are the first, second, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, fourteénth, fifteenth, six- teenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first. Unless there is a remark- able bracing up on the part of the demo- crats these districts will certainly be represented by republicans in the next Congress. The other six districts are over- whelmingly democratic, but under the cir- cumstances it is n@t surprising that the republican: seriously bel eve they cap carry some of them. There Will be a test¥of this mutter soon—probably at the April election —in the third district, where there is now @ vacant seat, caused by the death of Con- gressman George W. Houk. Mr. Houk’'s plurality was 3,250, but McKinley carried the district last fall by 500 votes. The district contains the National Military Home at Dayton, where several thousand old veterans vote, and the republicans wiil make a hard fight to carry it this spring. That done, the first step to a sweeping con- gressional victory in the fall would be taken. Congressman Bellamy Storer and John A. Caldwell, in the two Cincinnati districts, will probably be renominated and re-elect- ed, unless Judge Caldwell should be elected There is some talk to that effect there now. In that case Probate Judge Howard Terris would probably succeed him. Senator Brice will, no doubt, control the democratic nomination for Congress in the democratic fourth district. FE. C. Layton will be elected to a third term if he wants it. Should he wish to retire, ex- st Senator M. D. Shaw of Wopakoneta would probably succeed him. In the fifth district Congressman D, D. Donovan can have the nomination if he wishes it. He has been twice elected, and should he wish to retire, Jno. W. Winn of Defiance or Gen. A. V. Rice of Ottawa will oe a candidate for the nomination. Donovan ayor. had 4,000 plurality in 1802, and to defeat a | jemocrat there seems impossible, but State Representative Dewitt of Paulding thinks he could be elected to Congress there. Congressman Hulick of the sixth dis is serving his first term and will b nominated. He had a plurality of i iso2, and is very comfortably fixed for a re- election. George W. Wilson is serving his first term in the seventh district, and as he hi given the republicans satisfaction, he will probably be returned. He had a plurality of nearly 2,000 two years ago, which, it is reasonable to expect, will be materially in- creased this year. Congressman L, M. Strong of the eighth district was here last week attending the Republican League banquet. To The Star correspondent he said he would be a candi- date for renomination. He had a plurality Sin 1892, and has no doubt about his re-election. The ninth district includes the city of Toledo. It was carried by Congressman B. F. Ritchie two years ayo by oniy four- teen votes. It was one ef the districts that were cut out to be republicai carried by the democrats. The: but wer 1 Grange, and Representetive Chas. P. Griffin will contest for the republi- can nomination, which is now looked upon a prize. Congressman Ritchie will un- doubtedly bé renominated by the democrats. The tenth district is now represented by H. Bundy, who was elected by the re- publicans to ‘serve out the unexpired term of W. H. Enochs, deceas He does not desire to be re-elected, it is understood. It n district and the re- nominatio will be contested for C. Holcomb of Scioto, W. S. Mat- of Gallia, Jno. W. Bargar of Pike, n. W. 8.

Mr. Harter now represents the dis- trict. It was made to be a republican dis- trict, but the democrats carried it two t ago by 1,859 votes. It will not be possib! It is likely that | will hardly | J.

Johnson, the latter being the man whom Harter defeated. In the fifteenth district Mr. Van Vorhis is serving his first term. He had a plurality of only 1,168 two years ago, but this will be increased this year, so the whole election there will probably be uninteresting. Where a Close Fight is Likely. The sixteenth district has been the scene of many close fights, end another is in pros- pect. Judge Pearson defeated Col. L. Poor- man tn a district made specially for the lat- ter, two years ago, by only 41 votes. The republicans see a good opportunity to carry this district this time and candidates are springing up on all sides. Those who are prominently mentioned for the nomination now are Col. Poorman, J. W. Nichols, D. B. Hollingsworth, John Cook, A. T. McKelvey and ex-Representative Weems. Judge Pear- son will probably be nominated by the dem- ocrats. Congressman J. A. D. Richards had a plurality of nearly 6,000 votes two years ago in the seventeenth district, so that he is far enough above the high-water mark to escape any ordinary republican flood. He will be nominated by the democrats. The republicans seem to be scared out of the race by the large plurality against them. George P. Ikirt was elected in the eight- eenth district, Known as the McKinley dis- trict, two years ago by a plurality of only 1,211. The present political conditions make it almost certain that the republicans will carry it this year. Dr. Ikirt will be nomi- nated by the democrats unless he declines. There is some talk about nomjnating Gov. McKinley, but that 1s probably idle specu- lation. enator L. C. Ohi and ex-Repre- sentative McCoy are menticned for the re- publican nomination. Congressman Northway represents the banner republican district of the state—the nineteenth—and had a plurality two years ago of nearly 8,000 votes. It is likely to go over 10,000 this fall. He will be renomi- nated, of course, and to secure a democrat to make the race against him will evidently be no easy task. Congressman W. J. White will be nomi- nated by the republicans of the twentieth district, and probably elected, though his plurality was only 957 two years ago. In the twenty-first district Tom Johnson had 3,224 plurality two years ago. He will be renominated by the democrats no doubt. The republicans may nominate against him Martin Dodge, who has earned a state Trepu- tation as the champion of good road: Ex-Gov. Campbell Not a Candidate. Ex-Gov. Campbell says he will not be a candidate for the congressional nomination to succeed Congressman Houk in the third district. It is believed that Paul J. Sorg, a wealthy tobacco merchant of Hamilton, will be the democratic candidate. The republicans will probably nominate Robert Nevin of Dayton. The following figures from the elections of |last year and two years ago indicate the | political changes*in the districts, which are certainly sufficient to give the republicans hope of securing a large majority in the jnext Ohio delegation. The combined plu- ralities of Congressmen Storer and Cald- | well in 1892 were 3,421. McKinley carried |Hamilton county last fall (it makes the first and secord district) by 10,883. The | third district gave Congressman Houk 4,- (S16 plurality, but McKinley carried it by (563 votes. The fourth district gave a dem- cratic plurality of 7,574 in 1892, but only 4,468 last fall. The fifth district gave Con- {gressman Donovan 4,604 plurality in 1892, jand Neal received last year only 1,160, Con- |8ressman Hulick secured a plurality of 3, 250 in the sixth district, but McKinley rais- jed it to 5,258 last fall. The seventh district |Faised its plurality of 1,826 for Congressman | Wilson to 4, for McKinley. The eighth showed a gain of from 3 to 6,658 for the republicans, Congressman Ritchie had a plurality of jonly 14 votes in 1892, but McKinley carried |the district last fal 5,601 votes. The }tenth increased its ublican plurality in ,that one year from 4:61 to 6,885, and the jeleventh from 2,651 to 5,857,while the twelfth |changed from a democratic plurality of 3,- to a republican plurality of 641. Congressman Hare had a plurality of 6,- in 1892, but McKinley cut this down to © last year, while the fourteenth dis- jttict. which gave Congressman Harter a |plurality Of 1,589 in 1892, was carried by | McKinley by 5,00% votes, and the fifteenth |distriet increased its republican plurality from 1,168 to 4,414. The sixteenth district, which in 1892 elect- ed Congressman Pearson by only 41 vote: gave McKinley 3,857 plurality last fall. The democratic plutality of 1802 in the seven- | teenth district was cut down by McKinley, and the democratic eighteenth district changed its vote from 1,211 in 1892 for Ikirt (democrat) for Congress to a plurality of '5,381 for McKinley. The nineteenth district, represented for years by Elijah Whittlesey, Joshua R. Gid- dings and James A. Garfield, and now by | Stephen J. Northway, shows up in the light jof last fall's election as the banner repub- lican congressional district in the Union. It has a large normal republican plurality, but under influence of the republican tidal wave \it was swelled last fall to 12,553. The re- | Publican net plurality in Cuyahoga county, |composing the twentieth and twenty-first |districts, was last fall 9,100. The net dem- jocratic plurality in this county at the con- sressional elections in 1892 was only 2,267. —_ INDIANS FOR SHOW PURPOSES. Left Stranded When They Are No Longer Needed by Employers. “The employment of Indians for ‘Wild | West’ and other shows gives us a great deal of trouble,” said an official in the bureau of Indian affairs yesterday to a Star reporter. “Irresponsible persons take Indians off the reservations, without per- mission or authority from us, and carry them about the country for exhibition. When they get through with them they leave them stranded wherever it happens to be convenient. Then we receive informa- tion to the effect that so many copper- colored wards of the nation are in urgent need of succor, indigent and living at the expense of the community on whose hands they have been thrown, and We are obliged | to respond. “Only a short time ago six eight [Indians were left by a circus In Nashville. |They had not a red cent among taem.

REPUBLICANS NOT DOING ANY WORK Probable Nominations for Gover- nor. ERAS ET REELS WANTING A NEW DEAL nce of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., February 20, 1894. The state campaign in Kansas this year will be one of national interest, because it will have a decided bearing upon the future of the people's party as a national organ- ization. This fact is recognized by men of ell parties. The republicans, who a few months ago believed they would easily re- claim their lost ground this year, now real- ize that a hard fight is before them, and that the populists will make a determined effort to retain control of the state govern- ment for the influence and effect it will have upon the party throughout the coun- try for the presidential election in 1896. They feel that a defeat next November would ke a disastrous blow to the party, from which it would be hard work to re- cover, because Kansas is regarded as the stronghold of the movement. Republicans are not blind to this situation, and are pre- paring for a great campaign; but they have recently discovered that to win in No- vember they must nominate clean men and make a vigorous and systematic campaign. ‘The defeat the populists sustained in the local county elections last fall has not dis- couraged them. It simply pointed out the exact situation in the state, and to retrieve their losses the party managers have al- ready commenced their campaign, and within sixty days they will know within a few thousand just how many votes they have in the state, and if any are needed to win, as Chairman Breidenthal expressed it, they “will go after them and get them.” A Careful Poll of the State. Today in every voting precinct in Kan- sas a trusted populist has in his inside pocket a little pass book, in which he is writing the name of every voter in his pre- cinct. His politics is noted also, and whether he voted at last fall’s election. The men selected to take this poll are in- structed not to be in a hurry or to take anything for granted, but to be absolutely certain of a voter's political views before the record is made. These little pass books were recently sent to the trusted members of the party by the state central commit- tee, with instructions to complete the work and return the same before the first day of April. This will not only be a poll of the populist voters of the state, but of every voter, without regard to’ politics. When all these returns are in, the canvass made and the result known, the populists will be ready for business, and if they are short the managers will contrive some plan by which the necessary number of votes may be had to give them a majority. Along with this poll that is now being made, the views of every straight populist will be secured with reference to a fusion with the democrats on a state and eon- gressional ticket. There are many popu- lists who are opposed to any kind of fusion, but who will, if it is effected, deem it their duty to support it. There are also those who would bolt a fusion ticket, and either refuse to vote at all or support the repub- lican nominees. Then, also, the views of the democrats will be given. Those who are in favor of a combine with the populists and those who are determined to vote a straight ticket, untainted with populism, will be recorded in a quiet way by the pre- cinct organizer. Dee! ma Policy. With all this information before the pop- ulist state central committee as early as April 1, the leaders will be able to deter- mine just what policy they must pursue to win, They can tell whether it is wise to make any kind of a fusion with the dem- ocrats, They will know about what per cent of the democrats will vote with them, with or without fusion. They will have a pretty good idea about the actual strength of the democrats, and whether, with a democratic ticket In the state, the republi- eans can win, All these things they will know more than a month before a state convention is held. The figures will speak for them- selves, and trusted democrats, who always believe it good politics to defeat republi- cans, no matter what the combination, will be called in and invited to glance over the returns, and the policy and campaign that will most certainly defeat a republican state and congressional ticket and insure the election of enough populists and dem- cerats to the legisiature to return a dem- ocrat to the United States Senate will be agreed upon. of course the stalwarts will enter their protests and will put a straight democratic ticket in the fleid, but it will not receive at the outside over 20,000 votes. Many place the maximum at 10,000. Then there will be Mrs. Lease and her little band of mid- dle-of-the-road populists who would scorn (© support a ticket tainted with democracy, but they will fall in line before the day of voting arrives. It may be stated in this connection that most of the followers of Mrs. Lease who are today decrying fusion are not permitted to emphasize their op- position at the ballot box—not now. The Republicans Dotug Nothing. To offset this systematic work py the Populists the republicans are doing nothing but announce themselves for oflice. The leaders are blind to all that is going on in the enemy’s camp. At least it appears so. The committee is simply waiting to be re- leved by a new one that will be selected by the next state convention. The vote of last November, which showed a republican | majority of 2,700 over the combined op- Position, so elated the leaders and party managers that they dropped everything, feeling assured that they would win easily this year. They are beginning to realize, however, that the populist party is rot dead, but exceedingly active and danger- ous. Nearly every prominent republican in the state is a candidate for office. For the first time in the history of Kansas the re- publican candidate for governor this year will be nominated by That ts the way it looks now “ongressman E. N. Morrill will receive that honor. He practically has no opposition. His long ser- vice in Congress and his splendid record on | the pension committee, together with his financial standing in the east, 2ll combine to make him the choice of a large majority of republicans. But for every other place on the state ticket there are from ten to twenty candidates, to say nothing of the score of congressional aspirants nston, Broderick and Cur- ates for renomination, but will have a big fight on his hands, and may be defeated. 3 took The time was when the republicans of Kan . their cue from Washingt of republican ascendan ‘olled up from 50,900 to n Ingalls and Plumb Peters, oy Senate, and Perkins, Morrill, Ryan, Anderson, Funston and Tur- 000 plurality. were in the ner in’ the House. These men were con- sulted in every movement made by the leaders in this state, but the alliance wave, like a hot wind from the south, in 1889, swept over the state and buried the party, leaders and all. Now the wires are down between Washington and Kansas, and a younger generation has come to the front that is insisting upon a new order of things, and that demand is beginning to bear fruit. | Populists Want a New Deal. With the populisis an entire change is | Sherman of Athens, Pa. probable. There is a demand for a new deal, and it now looks as if Governor Lewelling will be turned down. This, of course, would, in a great measure, remove the late legislative “war,” as an issue, from the pending campaign. The governor was the central figure in that bloodless contest, and could not escape the shafts of the re- publican campaigners if he was placed at the head of the ticket. If it is decided to retire him, the nomination will, most like- ly, go to Congressman W. A. Harris, who is regarded the strongest man in the populist party in Kansas today. While Mr. Harris is a populist, he is also an old line democrat of the Virginia school, and if a fusion is effected he would be the best vote-getter in the new party. ‘frue, he is an ex-confederate soldier, but the bloody shirt is no longer an issue in Kansas. With Maj. Morrill as the republican and Col. Harris as the populist candidate for gevgrnor there would be a strong incentive to resurrect this ensanguined garment and prominently display it in this year’s cam- paign, Sena * E anne SMOKING IN CHURCH. There Was a Time When It Was Prac- ticed in the British Isles. From Spare Moments. The practice of smoking in church was prevalent in many churches in this country in the last years of the sixteenth and the beginning cf the seventeenth century. Pre- vious to the visit of James I to the Uni- versity of Cambridge in 1615 the vice chan- cellor issued a notice to the students which enjoined that ‘Noe graduate, scholler or student of this Universitie presume to take tebacco in Saint Marie’s Church upon payne of finall expellinge the Universitie.” Sir Walter Scott, in his “Heart of Mid- lothian,” refers to one Duncan of Knock- dundar, an important personage, who smoked during the whole of the sermon, from an iron pipe, tobacco borrowed from other worshipers. We are told that “at the end of the discourse he knocked the ashes out of the pipe, replaced it in his sporran, re- Joined in the prayer with decency and at- tention.” The same practice existed in Hud- son's Bay Territory and some other of the British possessions beyond the seas for some time after the erection of the first churches in those early settlements, there being a general recourse at the commence- ment of the sermon to the soothing weed, and not before the pipes were fairly under way was the officiating minister able to pro- ceed with his discourse. The custom of smoking during church ser- vice was not confined to the laity and minor clergy, for it is recorded that an archbishop of York was once reprovéd by the vicar of St. Mary's, Nottingham, for attempting to smoke in the church vestry. The Rev. John Disnez of Swinderly in Lincolnshire, writ- ing on the 13th of December, 1773, to James Grainger, says, “The affair happened in St. Mary’s Church, Nottingham, when Arch- bishop Blackburn was there on a visitation. The archbishop had ordered some of the ap- paritors or other attendants to bring pipes and tobacco and some liquor into the vestry for his refreshment after the fatigue of confirmation. And this coming to Mr. Dis- nez's ears he forbade their being brought thither, and with a becoming spirit remon- strated with the archbishop upon the im- propriety of his conduct, at the same time | telling his grace that his vestry should not be converted into a smoking room.” CONCERNING DREAMS. They Occupy Only a Few Seconds Are Affected by Events. From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Doctors assert that dreams occupy a few seconds only, at most the space of about three minutes. This statement is startling to those who have not noticed for them- selves what part time plays in such a con- nection. The writer has had several op- portunities of proving its correctness her- self, and many might arrive at a similar knowledge by asking to be awakened a min- ute or so after falling into a first sleep. All who dream wili do so immediately on falling into unconsciousness. Anothe: re- liabie test is to be found in the sieep that follows upon the morning summons for ris- ing. A few more moments snatched for the tempting ufter doze will not unfrequently mean a dream of a very elaborate yature— one which implies almost as many hours as seconds. Are dreams affected by the events of our wakeful hours is the question that has been asked over and over again, but the result of observation leads one to believe in such being the case or not, according to the im- portance with which we treat them, In connection with such a question, events and individuals can scarcely fail to require sep- arate consideration. Events that are all- important to some do net commend them- selves in that light to others, and this faci leads one to express the opinion that, ac- cording to the intensity with which’ out- ward events occupy our thoughts, will our dreams be in any way affected by them. To one woman the exercise of hospitality means the entire surrender of her mentai domain to all the worries, real or imagin- ary, consequent upon the preparations for the contempiated entertainmeat. To an- other the needful directions once given, there is an immediate return to considera. tions which outweigh in her opinion the more material ones that held a whilom place in her thoughts. In the one case culinary failures and visions of indifferent service will probabiy haunt the dreams that pre. vede or follow that entertainment; in the other no such tortures are involved in the sleeping hours. There have been startling instances of the brain's power to solve difficult: questions during sleep. A case in point is that of a lawyer engaged in a criminal defense. The examination of one witness’ after another seemed only to add to the proof of his client's guilt. Wearied one night with try- ing to find some point which might turn the scale in the prisoner's favor, he feil asiecep, and in a dream the desired point stood out clearly. On awakening, it was j immediately worked out, and the verdict o: “not guilty” was found cons that revelation afforded du sleep. When exercising the imaginative faculties to any great extent the dreams will always preserve the ideal character of the wakeful hours. The comporer will dream of the melodies which provide his own lullal when dropping into slumber, and the artist and the writer enter the land of dreams in company with those that the pen or the brush are guided to depict with such a lov ing hand. Plots have been furnished and subjects for the canvas have been suggest- ed over and over again in the quiet hours of the night, when, to all outward appear- ances, there Is nothing but the most peace- ful slumber on the part of the sleeper. — Miswovernment tn Baltimore.

Dr. Goering Refutes the Statements as to Minister Smythe. It is said at the State Department that the mail which has just arrived from Hayti brirgs a still more positive refutation of the report, published a few weeks ago, that Minister Smythe had addressed a letter of republic should be vi that he had unsuccessfully cndenvorel se obtain the signatures of tne other foreign representatives at Port au Prince to this remarkable paper, and failing in this had sent it to Hyppolite over his nature. Great excitement had casioned by this act, and it was the Haytien president had directed a wand to be made at Washington for Smythe's immediate recall. An air of truth was given to the statement by Mr. For- tune’s assurance that he had derived his information from the German minister at Port au Prince, and the alleged misconduct of Mr. Smythe was very generally to his discredit by the press and although the officers of the steamer brought Mr. Fortune had heard nothing of the incident, neither was the story con- firmed in any particular by later passen- ers and mails from Port au Prin: The publications in the New York press having come H which Dr. Goering, and without invitation from the ini minister, wrote a most of the whole ¥ says that he never met Mr. Fortune; that he had never made any statements to him or to any other person of the character represented: that he had never even heard of such letter as Mr. Smythe was alleged to have prepared; that he had, and has, no knowl- — re a that could even ve given to the published reports, and that his own belief that Mr. Fortune's story Was @ pure and simple invention was confirmed by the universal conviction in Hayt that there was absolutely no founda- Uon of fact for the report. Other foreign representatives at Port a Prince had offered to make similar state- ments, but Mr. of the story, and his own statement that he had written no such letter as had been attributed to him, as an ample contradic- tion of the unjust reports that have been circulated to his disfavor.

Mr. Wm. F. Shunk of Harrisburg, Pa, who had main charge of the survey of the propored intercontinental railway to con- mect the three Americas, has completed his report of the surveying operations to the intercontinental railway commisston in this city. In his report Mr. Shunk says that leaving out the incidental and alter- native work the length of the road neces- sary to connect New York with Buenos Ayres appears to be 4,300 miles, which length could probably be reduced to 4,000 miles before the beginning of construction. ‘The cost of grading, masonry and bridges would approximate $30,000 per mile. The cost per mile complete and ready for serv- ice, inclusive of a single track, s% buildings, machinery, rolling stock sundries, may be set down at $30,000 or $200,000.000 for the whole work. The es- “imate is in American gold, and is what the work would cost in this country if ekilifully located, honestly built and wisely administered. The region to be traversed parts naturally into two grand divisions, each 2,000 miles long, both of them as to latitude, but the southern for the most part temperate in climate, because of + its elevation above the sea. The northern division lies along the Pa- vifie slope, from Tehuantepec to the Bay of San Miruel, crosses the isthmus, thence to the river Atrato and ascends the Sucio, an affluent of that river, to the vicinity of Antioquia. The southern division as- cends the valley of Canca river for 300 miles and thence forward occupies an up- land ranging from 7,000 to 12,000 feet above the sea, between the great Cordilleras of the Andes, blocked by occasional cross ridges called nudos or knots, which are the chief obstacles to a good railroad location, ‘The country to be traversed by the pro- posed road is, as a whole, thinly popu- lated. Some separated reaches of it would pay from the outset; others, in witdernese, or competitive with water transport, wait. —_——- + 2+—_—____ TERRIFIC EXPLOSIO: A Dynamite Factory Blown Up and One Man Killed. The dynamite mill of James 8. Miller at Sumneytown, near Allentown, Pa., exploded vesterday with terrible effect. The bufld- ngs, all of frame, were completely demol- ished and reduced to splinters. Large trees in the immediate vicinity of the mill were knocked down as though they were so many shocks of grain. John Fritz of Jonestown, Lebanon coun- ty, employed in the mill, was the only man om the premises at the time, and he was blown into atoms. Not enough of him has been found to fill a cigar box or to hold an Inquest over, Fritz was only an occa- sional employe. The shock of the explosion was terrible. The cause is unknown. The concussion was felt in Lansdale, Telford and other villages along the North Penn, followed by a low rumbling noise as of distant thurder. Guildings swayed perceptibly and the wild- est excitement prevailed. Women and children rushed from their homes thoroughly demoralized, but as the shaking lasted only about twenty seconds they were soon induced to return. Every me believed the vibration and noise were caused by an earthquake. The loss is heavy. —_——-_ +e0e______ At 3:30 yesterday afternoon Judge Cox, in Equity Court No. 1, heard the applica- tion of Edwin D.
