A S - LOWELL, Mass, July 20.-Two small gunpowder magazines situated in the very | midst of the humble residences of fifty mill operatives exploded to-day with a frightful concussion and the résultant | wave of death cut off the lives of more than a score of human beings and in- jured nearly fifty others. A half dozen men who were loading kegs of powder from one of the magazines were blown to pieces; four boys 200 yards away were killed by the force of the explosion and fourteen frame houses within a radius of 4% yards went down as 1if they had been built of cards. Seven of these houses im- mediately caught five, probably from the hen stoves, and were consumed. At three persons were caught in the s rulns afd burned to death, while seven ; or eight others who were rescued subsequently of their injuries It is estimated that seventy pieces property, including those al- mentioned, were destroyed, while the force of the explosion wrecked win- dows five or &ix miles distant and its inder could be heard distinctly more than fifty miles way LONG LIST OF VICTIMS.

The magazines were the property of the United States Cartridge Company of this city, but formerly were situated more than a mile from the factory itself. They were bullt of brick, about ten feet high { with a rounded roof of corrugated iron. They were constructed forty years ago in what was then a broad, open field on the banks of the Concord River. last decade small wooden dwellings have gradually sprung up in the vicinity, crowding nearer and nearer with fancied security to the innocent looking little buildings until they almost completely surrounded them, except on the river side, the nearest house scarcely ffty feet away One of the magazines was just within the roadside fence, while the other was about a hundred feet behind it, near the banks of the river. Both magazines or- 60 ye dinarily contained two or three tons of | gunpowder in tin kegs, each keg being about eighteen inches high and a foot In diameter. The company for some time has been desirous of strehigthening the | floor of the magazines nearest the street | and this morning elght men, three of them employes were sent there with three | large express teams to take out the pow- der and mend the floor. Two of the wagons had been loaded and the other was almost full when the explosion oc- curred. FOREMAN’S FATAL MISTAKE. It was a long time before the actual cause of the explogion was ascertained. It was first thought that every one with- in a radius of fifty feet of the magazines | had been killed, but later it was found | that Clarendon Goodwin, the foreman of | the men who were loading the powder on tle teams, had survived, together with | one his assistants, Amadee Boulanger. Boulanger sald that the men went down | to the magazine nearest the street to fix the floor and after the wagons had been loaded with the powder which was in the magazine it was discovered that a can of nitro glycerine, which was stored in the | magazine, was leaking. Goodwin picked { up what he thought was a jug of water and began pouring it on the nitro glyc- erine with the idea of diluting it and washing it up. As soon as the fluid from the jug struck the floor he found that it was nitric acld. The floor at once be- | gan to smoke and when the men saw it they rushed from the bullding, but had not gone ten feet when the explosion oc- | curred. | This magazine, therefore, was the first to go up, followed by the gunpowder in the three wagons and, some seconds later, by the second magazine. To those who heard the crash it seem- ed as if there were two distinct explo- sions, with a continuous roar between them. There are, however, five holes in the ground, which seems to clearly Indi- cate five explosions. The entire catastrophe hardly occupied the space of five seconds, but in that time the surrounding property was swept as if a small volcano had broken forth in its midst. FLAMES SPREAD RAPIDLY. For several minutes afterward the air was completely filled by smoke and dust, illuminated by the glare from the already burning houses. The work of rescue at once began, but in many cases the flames had already gained full sway over the crumbled ruins, and several persons were burned to death before the debris which covered them could be removed. The property is situated just over the Lowell line in Tewkesbury, but the Low. ell fire department did noble work in carinz for the injured. Before a stream of water started from the engines nearly forty persons were taken to the hospitals, while many more whose injuries were During the | WIDOW SEEKS EVIDENCE OF A ROBBERY 2, + e !

A S { \ IQUA, Ohio, July 20.—An attorney is here looking for evidence in the estate of the late E. L.

The inventory | of his effects shoy that two pins, one a dlamond and the other an emerald, each valued at $250, are missing. That a con- | siderable amount of money was also taken is believed At the time of his death Campbell was | on his way to Minneapolis, en route home from New York, where he settled a $50,000 case. It is known that he received his fee, which was a large one, and that a portion of it was deposited in New York, | | to be placed to his credit in Minneapolis. | It is believed that this sum was $730. | | From what is known of Campbell's hab- | | its by his relatiyes it is believed that he | | could not have had less than $200 or $300 on his person when on the train Only $45 was found on the body, his gold watch and chain being afterward | found in the berth Campbell occupled. | Neither the diamond nor the emerald pin | was found. This, coupled with the fact | | that the death of Campbell was not re- | ported by the Pullman porter until some | time after its discovery, strengthens the | bellef of the relatives that he-was robbed. The attorney, who refuses to give his name, will go to Cincinnati, Pittsburg and | New York in search of further evidence. | In the event of sufficient evidence being | discovered a suit will be brought against | the Pullman Company to recover the| missing money and valuables. J. §. Spillman, who was named executor | of E. L. Campbell's estate by the will | left by the dead man, said yesterday that | he did not believe any robbery was com- mitted. When Campbell's death was first | made known in this city it was suspected | that he had been robbed of a large sum | of money. Subsequent investigation, said | Spillman, convinced him that no robbery | had taken place, as the papers of the de- | | ceased showed that he did not have much | | money with him when he died. Spillman | | professed himself in ignorance of any | | new evidence in possession of Mrs. Camp- | bell that would tend to support the rob- | | | | bery theory. : e e MILL VALLEY PREPARES FOR TOWN IMPROVEMENT | Offers for Sale Bonds to the Amount | of $50,000, Bids to Be Opened on August 25.

The coal is be- ing transported by the British steamship | Wyneric, which sailed to-day from Lady- | smith for Nome. The Wyneric took 6000 | tons from the mines at Nanaimo and Ladysmith. The cargo is being shipped to Nome by the Northwestern Commer- clal Company of this city for commercial purposes. The lumber shipment amounts to 2,000,000 feet. It goes north as cargo of the ship A, J. Fuller, under charter to Tanner & Clark, and in tow of the oil steamship Argyll. AL WASHINGTON, July 20.—The naval board which investigated ‘the recent collision in New- port Harbor between the torpeao boat Winslow and the yacht Clytie has reported to the Navy Department that the accident was caused by the crowded condition of the harbor and that the commander of the torpedo boat was obliged o chopse between grounding his vessel and striking the Clytie. The Government will pay the damages. L e e e S e e o ) slight had them dressed and remained on the scene, where they assisted in caring for the less fortunate. The explosion shook the city and with- in a half hour there were at least 5000 persons on the scene of the catastrophe. The crowd so badly hindered the work of caring for the injured that the Mayor gent out a militia call. Two hundred yards down the river from the second magazine the firemen sudden- ly came across the bodies of four little boys, who had been about to have a swim. A fifth member of the party was in the river when the explosion occurred, and escaped without injury. Apparently the force from this second magazine was expended in two directions, north and south. On the north it com- pletely demolished the house of William Riggs, about fifty yards away, almost burying Mrs. Riggs and badly injuring her little son. Mrs. Riggs died before be- ing taken to the hospital. - On the other side of the magazine was grove of trees, through which the ex- plosion tore a path fifty feet wide for a distance of nearly 300 yards. ' ! Cardinal | ing. GONCLAYE WL So0N NAWIE POPE Rampolla or a Neutral Candidate to Win the Crown. Belief That but Few Ballots Will Be Necessary for ~ a Choice. Cardinal Oreglia Gives Final In- structions as to the Manner of Casting the Vote. s Special Dispatch to The Call. ROME, July here has been no change in the attitude of the several fac- tions in the Sacred College regarding the various candidates for the papacy. The position of the foreign Cardinals is clearer than that of the Italian members of the college. The French Cardinals met to-day, but fajled to agree upon united action. Two of them are opposed to the candidacy of Cardinal Rampolla, two support it and two are wavering. The Austrian, Hun- garian and German Cardinals number seven and they all support Cardinal Sera- fino Vannutelli. Thé four Spanish Cardi- nals are in favor of Cardinal Rampolia. Gibbons, Archbishop” of Balti- more, and Cardinal Togue, Archbishop of Arm Ireland, are against Cardinal Ra lla. The sesslon of Cardinals to-day occupled only fifteen minutes. One {innovation noted was the Introduction of a buffet with ice water and vermouth. Cardinal Oreglia distributed voting papers for the conclave. He explained the manner in which the ballots are to be uged. A vote will he taken at 1 o'clock each morning. At the afternoon sessions Cardinals desiring to change their votes may do g0, the others casting blank votes, ‘This process is designated as ‘‘accession,” { and its practical effect is that two ballots will be taken dafly. For a long time after the meeting the Cardinals remained in groups discussing various questions. CONCLAVE WILL BE SHORT. The impression gains ground that the conclave will be short. It. will seon be evident whether or not it will be possible to elect Cardinal Rampolla. If it is shown that he cannot be elected, it will not be difficult to concentrate on a neutral can- didate. One guess is as good as another concerning who the nentral candidate may be, for the Cardinals themselves are without any fixed idea. After the meeting Cardinal Oreglia re- ‘quested the Cardinals to visit their cells and be prepared at to-morrow's meeting | to present any complaint which they may have. Superstitious people here find an omen in the fact that Cardinal Rampolla drew apartment No. 5, which in the book of the lottery stands for Pope, and, conse- quently they come to the conclusion that fate has marked him to be the next Pope. Cardinal Aligardi has relinquished his cell, near the Sistine chapel, to Cardinal Cretoni, on account df the latter's illness. Over the door of each of the cells has teen placed the coat of arms of the Car- @inal who s to occupy it. Should” all of the sixty-two Cardinals now in Rome enter the conclave it will be | the most numerously attended in history. The conclave which elected Pope Leo was attended by sixty-one Cardinals. In the past Popes have been elected by conclave containihg as low as nine. The ecclesiastics who are to watch the sliding doors which will be the only means of communication between the conclave and the outside world have been requested to be present at the Vatican Friday afternoon to assume their duties. The sliding doors will be opened only be- tween 9 and 11:30 o’'clock in the morning and between 5 and 7 o'clock in the even- At all other times they will be locked. CARDINAL LOGUE’'S VIEWS. Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, had an interview to-day with Cardinal Gibbons. When asked what he thought of the objections frequently mentioned against Cardinal Gotti being elected Pope, on the ground that his being a member of a religious order would prevent him dealing in a broad spirit with Catholic problems in America and Great Britain, Cardinal Logue sald: It is absurd. Cardinal Gotti was formerly an internuncio and has mixed with the repre- sentatives of the various powers. He knows the prevailing conditions as well as anybody. Just because he Is a Carmelite it does not fol- low that he is narrow minded. Moreover, it is unreasonable to attribute too much weight to the personality of the new Pope. Internationai matters and internal policy are now almost in- varlably settled by a committee of Cardinals, Wwho certainly, under the late Pope Leo, have directed their ‘departments just as much as the heads of departments of a civil Rovernment di- rect their departments. But, whoever may be Pope, ‘it is not likely that tie will attempt to make any changes In policy without being careful to take the advice of those committees which have hithert which b o directed the policy of the PR s MASSES FOR POPE AND KING. Religious Ceremonies Occur Simultaneously in Rome. ROME, July 20.—Rome this morning was the scene of one of those dramatic con- trasts which are now so characteristic of the eternal city. While at the- Vatican, in the Sistine Chapel, a solemn requiem mass was being intoned, with all the sol- emnity the Catholic church can impose, for the repose of the soul of Pope Leo XIII, the spiritual monarch who claimed Rome as his capital, another and no less solemn requiem mass was being celebrat- ed in the magnificent Pantheon for the repose of the soul of the late King Hum- bert, the temporal monarch, the capital of whose kingdom was Rome. King Vic- tor Emmanuel and his mother, Dowager Queen Margaret, came here on purpose to attend the annual mass, which is cel- ebrated on the anniversary of the assas- sination of King Humbert, which oc- curred three years ago. The King drove to the Pantheon, the well known red liv- Two FRAMING BRYSON PICTURES THE “LADY IN GREEN,” Next Sunday’s Call.

After a tender embrace mother and son entered the Pan- theon, heard the mass and placed wreaths on the tombs of King Humbert and King Victor Emmanuel. Their entrance and exit was witnessed by a large crowd. At 11 o'clock the members of the munic- ipality of Rome, with the exception of their number who a few day$ ago went to the Vatican to condole with the Camer- lingo on Pope Leo’s death (as representa- tives of the clerical part of the city gov- ernment), visited the Pantheon in a body and placed wreaths on the tombs of the two Kings. The second requiem mass in the Sistine Chapel was termed the foreign mass. Cardinal Kopp, Bishop of Breslau, cele- brated, assisted by the foreign Cardinals, Goosens, Gruscha and Perraud, and one Italian Cardinal, Di Pietro. The beduti- ful chapel overflowed, it did yester- day, with the faithful. The Vatican, as a rule, provides car- riages and horses for all the Cardinals and all of the horses are alike black, with long tails, but the authorities were not prepared for so many Cardinals and were obliged to give the last arrivals bay horses. ‘With the arrival here of Cardinal Prisel, Archbishop of Naples, the number of Cardinals who will participate in the con- clave is complete and totals sixty-two. Of the remaining two Cardinals, Cglesia, Archibshop of Palermo, cannot leave there because of his heaith, and Cardinai Moran, Archbishop of Sydney, N. 8. W., although he has left Sydney, cannot, it is believed, arrive here before August 20, when, it is supposed, the conclave will be over. 1In the evening there was a procession through the streets to the tombs of King Humbert and King Victor Emmanuel. It off quietly, though thousands of persons witnessed the demonstration, and the procession itself was more than a mile in length. Throughout the route the plazzas and streets were thronged by or- derly spectators, who heartily cheered the red-shirted Garibaldian veterans and other representatives of Itallan liberty. FILIPIND LEADER GVEN FREEDOM Emilio Villamor Is Par- doned by the Pres- ident. WASHINGTON, July 29.—President Roosevelt has pardoned Emelio Villamor, a prominent Tilipino, who in December, 1900, was sentenced to be hanged for mur- der. This sentence was afterward com- muted to ten years' imprisonment. Villamor was a member of an insurgent band operating in Luzon. They captured Marcelo Gadung, a native corporal of po- lige, who in addition to being corporal acted as a spy for the American navy, and thijs fact was generally known. Or one octasion, while within the enemy's lines, he was captured, tried by court- martial for being a spy, convicted and shot. Villamor was an officer of the in- surgent army and was on the court-mar- tial that tried and disnosed of Gadung. It was for this that Villamor was tried and sentenced. He has served a term ¢ nearly three years. His pardon was rec ommended by army officers and the Sec- retary of War on the ground that Villa- mor’s offense was really political and that he was entitiled to a pardon under the amnesty proclamation of July 4, 1902, The President has approved the recommenda- tion. o e e Y All of the shops were shut and there was more outward signs of mourning than have been seen in Rome during recent years. s NEW WITNESSES IN MARCUM GASE Man Who Saw Slaying of Attorney Will Testify. CYNTHIANA, Ky.. July 29.—Officers ar- rived to-day from Breathitt County with Samuel Little, who is considered a stronger witness in the Jett and White trial tivan efther B. J. Ewen or J. L. Pat- rick. It is sald that Little witnessed the shooting in the Courthouse. He was in hiding when arrested by the soldiers. John Freeman, another important State witness, also was brought in to-day. Captain Ewen was the first witness called by the commonwealth to-day. He left the stand at 3:30 o'clock, after he had been subjected to a rigorous cross- examination by the attorneys for the de- fense. After his testimony Captain Ewen was escorted by the militia to Camp Lick- ing. 5!\ the witness stand it developed that Ewen /had made different statements to Judge Hargis and others immediately af- fecting Marcum in Breathitt County. He gave as his reasons that he was afraid to say otherwise, as he was afraid of Hargls and Callahan. He said that Hargis, Cal- lahan and Combs had called him into con- sultation immediately after the killing and told him what to say, and that he had agreed to do so, as was afraid of being killed then and there. Captain Ewen gave as his reason for leaving on Sunday night that he feared no guard would be provided for him. Imaginary trouble is often harder to bear than the real thinfp g -
