DEMURRER STIRS WRATH OF JUDGE VAN NOSTRAND | Attorney May Be Punished for Ask- ing That Litigant Be Sent to Jail. A demurrer filed yesterday by Edward Myer, attorney for the defendant in (Lhe suit of Mrs. A. Knight agalnst L. Baron, | a ladles’ tailor, stirred the wrath of Jus- tice of the Peace Van Nostrand, who is considering the advisability of holding Mpyer in contempt. Mrs. Knight, who is an xperienced saleslady sued Baron for $§125 on an al- leged breach of contract. In her com- plaint the plaintiff stated that she was engaged by Baron at the monthly salary At the end of the month Baron informed her that he could only pay her $25 per week. The demurrer filed by Bar-! on's attorney contains the most peculiar declaration that has ever appeared on a court document. After asking for julg: ment on the usual grounds it concludes: defendants pray judgment- that sed hence with thelr costs and that plaintiff have six months in the County Jail at hard labor. Judge Van Nostrand his directed Wil- liam Tomsky, attorney for Mrs. Knight, to move that the obnoxious paragraph be stricken out as being contemptuous, and the Judge may then take other measures in the premise e ———— CLUB’S NEW QUARTERS Charles Nelson Performs Daring Deed. 3 sple of the steamer H ARE FORMALLY OPENED Draperyw Salesmen of Local Stores Now Have Social winkle Officer G Carpet and r from Otto Nelson proved himself a brave t r z Flynn from , last evening.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 23.—Eight | men and two women were killed {n an explosion at the plant of the Northwest- | ern Star Oil Company, at the foot of Sixth avenue, about 11:30 this morning. The dead: W. G. DAVIS, oresident. C. H. DURRIN, general manager. S. W. MITCHELL, cashier. JACOB DOMM, bookkeeper. | MISS CAROLINE RECORD, book- | keeper. M. C.

Aaronson, Joe McGinty, Wal- ter E. Scott, Joseph Deronick. E. J. Link tand Joseph Livingston. | The explosion came without warning land a second after the concussion the walls had been thrown down and the en- tire structure was a mass of flames. Not a person in the office escaped alive. Seven workmen engaged in the second floor were thrown twenty feet into the | air, and these were the only persons who escaped. They climbed through the deb- | ris and are now at the City Hospital. Although the cause of the explosion has not been determined, it is sald that em- ployes of the company were emptying | |'some oil tank cars into the tanks inthe | | basement of the building and it s pos- sible that eparks from a switch engine | ignited the inflammable flulds. Several explosions followed in quick suc- | cession and made fthe work of the fire- men both difficult 'end dangerous. They | could not approach the ruins and the | water thrown on the flames was without | effect. All the department could do was to permit tho flames to burn themselves out and then search for the bodies of the | dead. At 10 o'clock three had been recovered, those of Domm and the Misses Roundy | and Record. | The fire is still burning and the work | of searching for the bodies is carried on | iwllh great danger, for it is believed lhat; | another tank with ofl in it has not ex- | | ploded. | " The company was not incorporated.

REDDING, April 23.—Three men are dead and a fourth will probably die as the result of an explosion of glapt pow- der in the Chloride Bailey mine, near | Dedrick, Trinity County, at noon to-day. | A courler who went to Junction City, distant fourteen miles, the nearest tele- phone point, to send to Weaverville for a doctor and the Coroner, knows the names, of but two of the victims of the accident, They are Fred Linden and Joe Wilbur. Both are dead. The courier's story is to the effect that Linden and Wilbur were working at the | breast of a drift. One of them Is. pre- snmed to have dropped a box of powder. | There was a terrific explosion, shaking | the entire mine. Two miners on the same | | level, whose names the courier does not know, . went to investigate and were | quickly overcome by polsonous gases. | When the main body of miners reached | | the scene from the other levels they found one of the second two dead and | the other, now in a precarious condition, barely able to tell the story.

The Overland Freight and Transfer Company has been awarded the contract for the drayage of the Customéhouse for | the next three years at much less rates than were charged by it during the last three years. The explanation given for the lower rutes is that there was much fiercer com- petition in the bids at Washington. The prices on the nmew contract are as fol- lows: .

MAGNATES NOW WANT SAN BERNARDINO LINE Huntington Begins a Contest With Harriman and Clark for More Ground. LOS ANGELES, April 23.—TIt is stated here to-day on what appears to be good authority that Henry E. Huntington, rep- resenting the electric raflway develop- ments of this section of the State, and the newly formed Clark-Harriman syndi- cate, which is opposing on an extensive scale the Huntington-Hellman syndicate, have entered into secure an option on the San Bernardino Valley Traction Company. It is stated that the desire to secure the valuable property means that the San Bernardino system is wanted by each of the contest- ing factions as a backbone for an electric road t& connect with Los Angeles City through Ontario into Pomona Valley and thence to Lordsburg, Covina, Azusa and Duarte to Monrovia. If the Huntington people should secure the San Bernardino system and bulld out as suggested the western terminus of the developed system would connect at Mon- rovia with the line which Huntington al- ready has in operation between Monrovia and Los Angeles. Riverside and Corona then would be taken in. This in its en- tirety will constitute an immense cross- country net work for interurban traflic in Southern California.

WASHINGTON, April 23.—The annual meeting of the Archbishops, the most dis- tinguished ecclesiastical body in the Cath- olic church of this country, was held to- day in McMahon Hall of the Catholic University. The deliberations of the body, which were held behind closed doors, were presided over by Cardinal Gibbons, Arch- bishop Keane acting as secretary. While no formal statement of the work of the Archbishops was made, it is understood that much time was devoted to consid- eration of the policy of the Catholic church in the Philippines.

GURDON, Ark., April 22.—In an alter- cation yesterday between Dr. J. H. Guff- man, a well known physician, and Alex- ander Thompson, a negro, the former was seriously cut in the neck. The dispute arose over medical services for which the negro refused to pay. Thompson was placed in jail and shortly after midnight a mob surrounded the jail and took pos- session of the negro. His body was found to-day hanging from a railroad trestie near here. No further trouble is expected. a spirited contest to | |1t Meanwhile he proposed a reduction of 4 pence in the pound sterling. The balance of the surplus would be given to the re- | lief of indirect taxation of the necessarles | of life. He could not afford to reduce the | dutles on sugar or tea, which could not | be regarded as necessary for life, so he proposed to remit the grain duty from July 1. Ritchie pointed out that the reduction of the income tax involved a reduction of | revenue of about $42,500,000. The remission | of the grain duty meant a reduction of | about $10,000,000, leaving him a small| working surplus of about $1,850,000. | The Chancellor, who spoke for an hour; and fifty minutes, received approving | cheers, especially when he announced the | remission of the grain duties.

The name of Charles Johnson seems to be a hoodoo for burglars. For a third time within four months one of this gen- try bearing that cognomen has been cap- tured by the police. Charles Johnson entered the residence of G. Ramari at 1409% Kearny street last night and while prowling about the kitch- en alarmed Mrs. Ramarl. She sounded | an alarm and the intruder rushed downi the street, only to be captured at Union street by Police Officers John P. Herlihy and W.

Charles Johnson, arrested by Detective Steve Bunner in the act of entering Bun- ner’s home, is known as “Bunner” John- son, and Charles Johnson, the fire escape burglar, is called “Pepper” Johnson for the reason that he planned an escape by throwing red pepper into his Keeper's eyes.

Prince. of Wales Does Not Contqmplat.e Visiting Exposition. e oty LONDON, April 2%—According fo the St. James ‘Gazette, the Government is considering the matter of appointing Field Marshal Lord Roberts as Special Commis- sioner to represent Great Britain at the St. Louis Exposition. The apointment of the Prince of Wales as head of the British Royal Commission to the St. Louis Exposition does not nec- essarily involve a visit to America on-bis part. In reply to a question as to whether the Prince contemplated going to the exhibi- tion, Lieutenant Colonel Sir Arthur Bigge, private secretary of the Prince of Wales, writes: “So_far as I know the Prince of Wi does not propose to visit the United States." Through other sources it was learned that it was never contemplated that the Prince’s duties as president of the Royal Commission should include a visit to St Louis.
