PHILADELPHIA, April 25.—Fleer’s chewing gum fac- | tory was destroyed by an explosion this morning. Four! hundred girls were employed in the place and it is be-| lieved a number were killed. Two bodies have already | been recovered and search is being made for more. A large number of employees were injured. The property damage amounts to two hundred thousand dollars. The scene at the time of the explosion and imme- diately afterwards beggars description. The shock was terrific and caused portions of the building to crumble into dust, burying many of the girls in the debris Their shrieks and moans were heart-rending. In some instances the cries died out in a few minutes as the sufferers succumbed to their injuries or died of suffoca- tion. Within a few minutes a large crowd of excited People, including friends and relatives of the employees, gathered about the place. The police and firemen made heroic efforts to rescue the girls, assisted by many of the spectators, and as the maimed and bleeding victims were brought out they were tenderly conveyed to their homes and various places for care and treatment. LATER—Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon thirty in- jured girls have been taken from the ruins, also the unrecognizable bodies of two others killed in the ex- Plosion. WASHINGTON, April 25.—The following cablegram was re- ceived from General Otis this morning: ‘‘Hale’s brigade moved down the right bank of the Quingua River yesterday to the vicin- ity of Calumpit. He was joined by Wheaton's brigade on the left bank. Hale encountered fierce opposition, but succeeded in driv- ing the enemy back with heavy loss and taking intrenchments, Hale's casualties were six killed and twelve wounded, His division has now invested Calumpit, which will be taken today. Lawton with part of his command will reach Norzagary this evening, where he will be joined by center column from Bocave. Extreme heat and rain, high streams and bad roads made the march very diffi- cult. He has not met with opposition since leaving Novalisches. The enemy is retreating in his front towards the south. Near Manila the enemy has a force of four thousand making demonstra- tions daily, but can be easily taken care of. They cannot com- municate with the north. PHILADELPHIA, April 25.—The secret service bureau is now busily engaged in preparing for the prosecution of the men who have been arrested for alleged complicity in ‘the gigantic counterfeiting conspir- acy that the Treasury department has unearthed. According to the evidence In hand, It appears that the conspiracy was originated five years ago by Wiillam Jacobs, a cigar manufacturer of Lan. caster, Pa. Since that time it is alleged that millions of fraudulent revenue stamps for use on cigar boxes have been made, and the govern- Ment succesefully defrauded out of vast sums of money thereby. The success of the conspirators finally led Jacobse to conceive the idea of counterfeiting $100 sliver certificates. In this, It is alleged, that he was also successfal, and that finally he became so bold as to attempt to cor- rupt & sub-treasury official and several secret service men and to ask them to receive $10,000,000 in counterfeits in place of 10,000,000 of genu- ine silver certificates which were to be abstracted from the treasury vaults, The officials were told that the counterfeits were #o perfect that the detection of the same would be ovat to impossible, and as the gov- ernment would be iseulng the councerfelte from the sub-treasury, no one would be the wiser. The scheme might have succeeded but for the fact that one of the secret service men approached happened to be honest, and he lald the trap for the conspirators, which finally resulted in their ¢ ure and the exposure of the whole scheme. The counter- Quantities of prepared paper, engrav-ed certificate plates, stamp plates, and $1000 worth of fraudulent revenue stamps were captured. Several of the prisoners have confessed, and thousands of boxes of Clears bearing fraudulent stamps are being seized all over the country. Mra, Florence Frasier brought civilaction against the Galbraith Dock company this morning in the munt-cipal court to recover damages for lost baggage. She claimed to haveplaced her baggage in charge of the wharfinger, and when she returnedfor it the baggage was missing. Judge Cann decided in her favor andgranted her $56 for damages. WASHINGTON, D.

Williams, a negro suspected of murdering his sweetheart, be given up. After some parleying with the Jallor the mob broke into the jall and shot the negro to death in his cell, The members of the mob then rode out of town and were not identified. ATLANTA, Ga., April 25.—The troubles at Palmetto have quieted flown temporarily, although many negroes are still in hiding. The Jail in this city was strongly guarded last night, it being feared that an attempt would be made to lynch Kerlin, the alleged murderer of Peart Knott. No demonstration occurred, however.

Boxes of Cigars With Bogus Labels Believed to be Sold in This City—Samples of Counterfeits Forwarded From Washington. The gigantic counterfeiter's conspiracy in the East} which has just been unearthed by the Treasury Depart- ment’s secret service men, is believed to have its rami-| fications even to Seattle. | Yesterday Deputy Collector D. W. Bowen received | instructions from Washington to at once begin a thor-| ough investigation of the various cigar stores in this city | to ascertain whether fraudulent revenue stamps were | not in use on certain brands of cigars sold by some of} the dealers. | Accompanying the instructions came a number of| new «gar boxes bearing certain labels and counterfeit | {f stamps. These were to be used as samples by the} collector. | When asked about the matter this morning by a Star reporter, Mr. Bowen admitted having received the | instructions outlined above, and also exhibited the sam- ple boxes with the counterfeit stamps affixed. He stated that he had begun his investigations about town, but absolutely refused to give any particulars of his dis- coveries except that he intimated that some startirng results might follow. He said: “The internal revenue and secret service men all over the United States have peen notified within the last few days to begin a thorough search for boxes of cigars bearing the fraudulent stamps. Some large seizures have already been made in various parts of the country, and more are expected upon the Pacific Coast.” Killed by a Horse. jot the sale of the plant and timbe: t | Jury brought in a verdict for the for $4000. om | that part of the county ts The construction of the boat will be commenced at once and it will probably be in operation by August Delivered Electrically for M - Crockery and House Furnishings GOLDEN RULE. 906-906 Firat Avenu PELGER & HURLBUT 1215-1217 Second Avenue LOOK AT OUR SELECTION OF ~~” Duniap, to be used as a rescur home.

A CHARGE OF | WRONG DOING Anna Hannan has commenced a suit in the superior court against Carrie Ihrig, whom she charges with misappropriation of funds. The complaint alleges the plaintiff enter- ed into @ co-partnership with de- fendant to run th voy hotel on First avenue. Under the terms of partnership the plaintiff furnished $2415 and defendant $615, the balance, $370, was to come out of the first proceeds of the business, after which proceeds were to go to the plaintiff until such time when defendant's share in the purchase price should equal the contribution. Plaintiff al« leges that defendant has collected ample funds to anable her to dis- charge her obligations, but has ap- propriated the money to her own use, whereupon plaintiff prays for the appointment of a receiver, and a restraining order to prevent defend« ant collecting any further money. ‘The body of Rinji Kato, the Japan» ese sailor of the Idzumi Maru, who fell overboard the Great North- ern docks April 9, while intoxicated, was recovered this morning.
