(From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 29.—(Special.)—A sen- sational turn was glven in the case of Mose Jacobs against his father, Charles Jacobs, today by the filing of a motion on the part of the son to have the submission of the caso set aside and reopened, on the ground of new and important evidence in the case. When the mother of Mose Jacobs died a year ago Charles Jacobs was appointed ad- ministrator. Mose began sult to compel his father to give an accounting of certain properties held by him which were claimed by the son. During his years of work as a newsboy in Des Moines Mose had accu- lated a fortune estimated at from $30,000 o $40,000, but a large share of his money and valuables he had intrusted to his mother during her lifetime. The case in- volves an accounting of the father for much of this property. Mose Jacobs has since married and retired from the street and manages a store. The case was submitted to court some time ago, but not decided. Now comes the plaintifft with an adavit that he has information from one I. Kuhn of New York which is important in the case, as Charles Jacobs had stated that he had loaned large sums of money to Kuhn, but now Kuhn declares this is not true. The case will probably be reopened to ad- mit the new evidence and it will be some time before an end is reached.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.—With a deafening re- port a boiler in Swift & Company's plant exploded shortly after 10 this morning Thirteen lives were sacrificed and scores were injured. Huge bollers were sent through the roof of the structure and hurled hundreds of feet. room survived to tell the story of the ac- cident, but a caretul investigation convinced the experts that the explosion was the re- sult of carelessness on the part ‘of an em- ploye whose own life was lost. Sheets of flame sprang from the ruins and the spectators realized that it would be im- possible to save the lives of those caught in the wreck. Bulldings Torn and Twisted. The explosion was of such force that ad- Joining bufldings were wrecked, torn and twisted like toys. Men, women and boys at work in adjoining departments were hurled through windows to the ground below. Many of them escaped with-but slight bruises, but most of the victims were hurt to such an extent that it was necessary to remove them to hospitals. The others were taken to their homes. The dead: H. ARNOLD, colored. JAMES OWEN, colored. A. RASHUG, a sewer digger. SIMON TATE, colored, fireman. W. C. 0'CONNOR, sewer digger. E. WRIGHT, colored, fireman. W. PARKS, foreman. THOMAS. HOLMES, engineer. CHARLES WEBB, colored, fireman. JOHN HENRY, colored, fireman. ALBERT M. BUSHNELL, purchasing agent. —— CUBAT, millwright; died at Mercy hospital. ——SCHULTZ, millwright. The injured: E. Minnick, 14 years old, messenger boy, scalded; may dle, M. T. Ash, fractured leg and scalp wound. W. T. Wells, fractured leg. N. F. Oliver, burned about the face and body. J. D. Cooper, burned on arms, face and body. E. Olsen, messenger, burned about legs and chest. Moses Berryman, badly burned. J. McArdle, badly burned. Peter Steinback, Clinton, talling bricks. George Ryan, scalded by éscaping steam. A. Zerman, leg broken in jumping from the second story. A number of others suffering from burns and bruises were also taken to the hos- pital. In response to repeated calls a dozen pa- trol wagons and as many ambulances were sent from all parts of the city. Extra calls for fire engines followed, and soon the flames were being fought from every side. Dig Among Flames. Ia., struck by While the fire was still burning police, firemen and employes of the packing firm began digging in the rulns. Soon the man- gled remains of a man were discovered. At the same time other rescuers were digging with desperation to rescue several victims who were still alive. Bodies, torn, bruised and mangled, were taken from the ruins and sent to the morgue; A boy, scalded from head to foot and bleeding from cuts and brulses, staggered toward the office of the general superin- tendent. He was Mr. Young’s personal mes- senger, but had been so badly disfigured that Mr. Young did not recognize him. Many theories were advanced as to the responsibility for the disaster. One in- spector declared that the explosion had been caused by cold water injected into the boller, but a majority held that the catas- trophe had been caused by low water. Noth ing definite was learned, however, and as all the men in the boller room were killed it 1s not likely the cause of the accident will ever be known. It 1s not thought that the loss to Swift & Company will amount to more than $50,- 000. KELLY FORMALLY ARRAIGNED Ters No Resistanc. He i1s on His Way Home When Placed in Custody.
