At tin- New Kngland Telephone and Telegraph t ompany s building hcie, todsy, there "•’.r little to indicate that, only yes te’ilny afternoon, the place was the scene of one of the most appalling tragedies in Portland's history.

Iteports from the hospital, today, in dicate that within a few hours another name will be added to the list of dead. James Wadsworth of Malden, Mass., who was reported fatally wounded from the first, was very low, this af ternoon. and the physicians at the hos pital said there was almost absolutely no chance for recovery. Th* other wounded man at the hos pital. Elmer Bane of Mechanic Falls, also is in a very serious condition, hut he has an even chance. George H. Brainerd. the murderer, in his cell at the police station said, this morning, that he had passed as good a night as possible under the cir cumstances. He rested but little, how ever. and spent hour after hour pacing up and down the narrow space in front of his cell luink. He paid no attention to-the many curious ones who took oc casion to look in upon hint, and appar ently was not aware of their presence. Whatever Jtrainerd's mental condi tion may be. his physical strength has not deserted him. When the morning meal, a very substantial one. was serv ed to him in his cell, he ate with relish and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the re Brainerd will be arraigned in court, tomorrow morning, and at that time the formfU charge of murdering Farn ham and Buxton will be preferred agilinst Iftfn.

Buxton's body is still at the hospital, but arrangements have been made to take it to Springfield, tonight. His fattier, mother and sister came here from Springfield last night, having started immediately upon receiving news of the shooting, and they were at the young man's side wtmn he died. They will accompany the body to their home. The report from the hospital, late to night. was that while Bane's tempera ture Had risen somewhat his chances for recovery are yet good. Wadsworth is stili lingering between life and death with but a faint ray of hope if any. Constable Win. J. Dyer was, today, busily engaged in summoning witnes ses for the inquest upon th-- body of Isaiah H. Farnham to tell when, when and by what means he came to his death. The time is set at 10 o'clock next Monday morning, at the office of the county attorney in the court hors**. Mr Dyer said he had summoned 16 witnesses who were picked from among those who were on the spot at the time the shooting occurred. The inquest will be private, following the custom in this county. A FATAL ADMISSION. Brjins.'d forgc'.s Hiir.scll and Males Rcmari that Will Not Help Him. Portland, Mo., April 25.—The onl> statement made by Brainerd sinee hit arrest in any way relating to tin tragedy, was made to one of the offi cers on duty at the station, today. Brainerd did not close his eyes. Wednesday night, and whenever tin officers passed his cell, he generally spoke to them. It was well along to ward morning when an officer went out to the cell to see how he was getting along and Brainerd said to him: "I didn't mean to hurt Deputy Krith. You may believe it or not, as you please, l>ut I had no intention of in juring him in any way. and it was an accident pure and simple, but tre others-” At this point Brainerd stoppeu abruptly as though he realized he reached dangerous ground and lie im mediately changed the subject. This evening. Brainerd was pre well tired out and at midnight was sleeping calmly and peacefully. OF A QUARRELSOME NATURE. Affairs Near Lowell Which Will Probably Tell Against Brainerd. T.nwrenee.

Some famous brain workers have made a welcome discovery along the line of recovery of health by the prop er selection of food. Several were of the “Coffee-nevcr-hurt-me" kind, but, as an experiment, tried leaving it off ten days, and the use of Pnstmn Cereal Food Coffee in its place. A definite anil decided improvement in health is practically certain to attend such a change. Look carefully into the state of health of the individual who knows that "coffee don't hurt me." and you are almost sure to find some form of physical ail or functional disturbance —perhaps muddy complexion, or weak eyes, incipient heart failure, kidney trouble, liver nr bowel disorders, or soms form of weakness that shows plainly enough by the cry for relief sent up from some organ of the body. Why does the dismissal of Coffee and the use of I’ostum bring help? Ex periments in artificial digestion show clearly to the scientific investigator that coffee arrests digestion, and ac cording to one authority, allows only (d per cent, of the fond to be digested. That strikes at the very key-stone to the arch of health. Failure in diges tions means lack of good blood, and therefore a lack of food for the nerve centers. As the nerves control the or gans of the entire body, one can readily understand that a disorganized nerv ous system may show effect in any part of the body. Therefore, a remov al of the cause will allow nature to right herself. A powerful assistant to nature is Postum Cereal Food Coffee, composed of the albumen, phosphates, gluten, etc., from which nature builds in the delicate tissues of the nerves. postum aids digestion without drug ging’ and furnishes a concentrated licpiid food as well as a most delicious morning Coffee. If the reader has ever failed to make Postum satisfactorily, it will be found that to allow it to boil 15 minutes l after boiling commences, will solve the problem, as it must be so boiled to ex tract taste, color and food value. It is the only original Food Coffee with a pleasant coffee llavor. Many imitations of Postum are now upon the market. The only palatable ones thus far tested I nrnve to be made of a low grade of ic'nffee and some other articles, not withstanding the loud claims that they 'are pure." A HORRIBLE DEATH Trainer Huffman Killed by Elephant “Big Charley.” Dashed to Bottom of River and Held There by the Brute. Elephant Given Strychnine in Apples and Then Shot to Death. rem, Ind., Apiil 25.—Henry Huffman, the well-known animal trainer, with tile Wallace Shows, mei a horrible death here, today, being killed by ”|tig Charley,” a monster elephant, while the animal was bathing In the river.

Then, with a great roar, the elephant rail away. Several showmen shot at liim with no effort. He broke down fences and roamed about in a big Held, keeping everybody at a distance. Apples loaded with strychnine were thrown near him and lie ate one. An hour later he laid down and was in terrible agony. A rill-- shot settled him.

And Evidence Tends to Show His Solicitude for Grogan's Condition. «”;iMass., April 25.—The de fense of Prof. Eastman continued to score points at law on thr government in the murder trial, today, the court holding to its opinion of yesterday that declarations made by Richard Grogan. Jr., the dying man. was not competent as evidence, while the accusation was of murder. The- court went further, to day. ruling as incompetent other state ments that witnesses heard from Gro gan's lips which appeared to be replies to Eastman’s denials of other than accidental shooting. Not only in the law of evidence did Lawyer Eider for the defendant worst Attorney General Knowlton. but in the testimony itself there was much to encourage Kastman which showed that the latter was very solicitous fer Grogan's condition and exhibited much grief at the unfortu nate episode. The day's evidence seemed to dwell upon the dying moments of Grogan and Eastman's mental and physical condi tion at the time. The chief reason was that the witnesses were those who up on hearing the pistol reports and cries ran into the Clark garden. Tomorrow, the evidence is likely to broaden out in its scope. Attorney Gonernl Knowlton ns soon as the ease was opened. this morning, [attempted to have the court reverse its derision of yesterday when it refused to admit the dying statements of Gro gan to the effect that Eastman had murdered hint. Mr. Knowlton said that lie had learned since yesterday, that witnesses for the government were prepared to testify that after ami was lying on the ground, after the ttrogan had reaehetl tin1 embankment shooting, with Eastman present Gro gan said “He has murdered me. he has shot me.” and that Eastman shook hts head hut said nothing. Mr. Knowlton claimed that anything said in tile presence of 1 ho defendant under circumstances where a denial might he justifiable and the defendant could have replied and did not. is a statement which can he considered l*y the jury as to what was meant. Samuel J. Elder for the defence, dis sented from the claims of Mr. Knowl ton. He declared that in a case of Un kind the silence of the defendant b not competent as evidence. The court-then retired for considera tion of this matter. The judges wore out at least three <|iiarters of an hour, at the end of which Judge Gaskill made a. ruling which was a practical reiteration of his opinion of yesterday, when he ox luded the dying accusations and which at the same time was a denial of the particular motion made, today, by the attorney general. The court hi.Id that Eastman s shakes of Un til ad constituted denials on his part of the accusations previously made by Grogan. and as such they had the ef fect of making incompetent the state ments of Grogan, the deceased, because such accusations answered tty the de fendant cannot he allowed as evidence. The court did. however, nnounce that (Continued on page 6.) New Use (or Electricity A professor recently discovered that electricity is a stimulant for the brain.

BOILERS EXPLODE Followed by Fire and 200 Are Killed Or Injured. Terrible Disaster at Chemical Works Near Greisheim, Germany. 1 Smokeless Powder Factory Dcstnyrd-Sco:es of Bodies in the Ruins. Frankfort, April 25.—One of the most disastrous explosions on record oc curred, tins afternoon, at the Electro Chemical Works. near Greisheim, where smokeless powder is manufac tured. Most of the boilers exploded. The noise was so tremendous that it was heard at a great distance. The factory immediately became a mars of (lames and a northeast wind c.".riled the sparks to neighboring vil lages where several houses were set on fire. Eighteen cylinders containing about IPO weight each of smokeless powder were in the room where the explosion occurred. Troops were immediately ordered to Greisheim to prevent the fire spreading to the large benzine reservoirs near by. Fire brigades from every place in the neighborhood hurried to the scene, but owing to a fear of a renewal of the explosions, the greatest difficulty was experienced in stopping the progress of the (lames. Only after five hours of strenuous effort was the conflagration to some extent controlled and the danger pass ed so to make it possible to begin the sad work of extricating the bodies. It is feared that nearly 200 persons have been killed or injured. The last explosion oei urred at 7.20 I*. I M.. and when it was ascertained that J j no further danger '.us anticipated the inhabitants were allowed to return to their homes. At S.20 the tire was still burning in the centre, and tin* work of extricating the bodies was being car ried on by torchlight, gas light not being obtainable. The catastrophe orig:nated in n small tire which ignited several receptacles I of pinrie acid, causing a terrific explo sion. The houses adjoining the factory !i were partly burned and partly demol Sisbed by the explosion. It is still im I |Mifsible to say definitely how numer ous ate the victims. WM. P.

This is the way Vinol accomplishes its mission of doing good. inol, as we wish every one to know, owes ils power of accomplishing the cures that it eifeets to the fact that it contains the most wonderful medicinal elements known toseience for the cure of all wasting diseases, as well as be ing in itself a marvelous tonic. These medicinal proport iesfexistandhave here tofore been found only in cod-liver oil. Vinol contains those elements. For by a scientific process the necessary cura tive properties of the coil-liver oil have been separated from the fat and grease which formerly made coil-liver oil prep arations so objectionable. As long as Vinol does not contain any of the vile-smelling oil, and is pre pared bv combining the sought-after properties with a delicate table wine, it is a most delicious and palatable preparation. Wc know of what wc speak wiien we recommend Vinol, and because we do know that Vinol does all we claim for it, we unhesitatingly en dorse it, and guarantee at any time to refund the money paid for the remedy if you are not satisfied it will do all we claim for it, Bowditch,Webster&Co.

Says China Cm Pay $300,000,000 In Lang Tern of Years. San Francisco, April 25.—Edwin H. Conger, United States minister to China, accompanied by his wife, daugn ter and Miss Pierce, arrived from China, this afternoon, on the steamer Nippin Maru. owing to quarantine regulations and the necessity of giving personal supervision to the landing of his baggage, Mr. Conger did not reach iris hotel until 6 o'clock in the evening, i His arrival was awaited with coasi.l enable interest, not only on account of 1 liis connection with events in CInna, I hut from a political standpoint. There! was a great desire to know what po sition he would assume with regard to the corning gubernatorial nomination in Iowa. To a representative of The Associated Press, Mr. Conger, when asked if he rated to make any expres sion on the subject, said: “I do not wish to make any public declaration at this lime. I have not >'et had time to read the correspond ence which has met me here. So far as i I am at present advised, 1 see no rea H'K to change my position as expressed j ■bout two months ago before I left China. I received two telegrams from the United States. One asked me if I were a candidate for governor. I an swered '1 uni not.’ The other telegram a: ked me if 1 would accept the nomi nation if tendered me. 1 repfh 1 that I would accept if the nomir. -lion tamo to me but that i was in no sense a candi date. A!y present intention is to letarn to China and finish my work." Touching events in China, Mr. Con ger turned interviewer and was par tieularly anxious to know what hail been done by the powers in the matter ol indemnity. He was asked for his opinion as to the amount of indemnity China could pay. Three hundred million dollars” he re i plied, accompanying his answer by the statement that it would be necessary for the government to practice econ omy. The time of payment, too, should extend over a long term of years. Concerning events in China. Mr. Conger said that there was nothing j new to be said in that direction, as everything happened had been told fully, together with many things that never occurred. Tales of brutality had, he thought, been exaggerated. Of courso there were cases of outrage by individual soldiers, that were not sanc tioned by officers. These were but inci dents of war which found some pallia tion in the fact that the Chinese had kilh d 40.000 native Christians and 100 Europeans. Asked in regard to his future plans. Minister Conger said he would remain j in this city until Saturday morning. when he would leave for his home i.i Des Moines, la. HOMELESS AND IDLE.

JOHN F. HILL. Ily the Governor. BYRON BOYD. Secretary of State. The New Y'ork Legislature has ad journed, but the Bay State Legis lature will struggle on into the sum mer. Europe is breathing easier now that Morgan lias been there two weeks and has not yet put a single monarchy into his pocket. An exchange remarks that Mr. J. I’ierpont Morgan “never buys gold bricks." This is probably true; but if lie should he would, doubtless, be wise enough to keep from advertising the fact. Wherever the American and National league ball teams have played in the same locality thus far the former have invariably captured the crowds. Straws show which way the wind blows. The anti-expanisionists will be pained to learn that in all of the hun dreds of schools that have been estab lished in the Philippines by the Taft commission America is spelled with a large A. Mr. Charles A. Townc feels personal ly aggrieved at the action of Aguinaldo in deciding to accept the sovereignty of the grand old stars and stripes. There is reason to believe that Towne would n’t—if he could help it. It is worthy of note that Mr. James McNally, the “green goods king," says that he was gold-bricked when he married the lady who boars his name. Nemesis may be depended upon to overtake the wicked sooner or later. Miss Mary E. Wilkins will not, it is said, consent to a marriage with her affianced lover until the novel upon which she is now at work is completed. For the sake of the young man it is to t>e hoped that she does not contemplate the Penelope act. Mr. Bryan has not yet been able to note the broad distinction between Uryanism and the true Jeffersonian Democracy. This, however, may not be wholly his fault. The public has suspected, for some time past, that he is afflicted with political near sightedness. The divorce problem la now compli cated by a bill passed in Florida add ing insanity to the legal causes for di vorce. The “for better or for worse" clause of the marriage obligation is little heeded by such a law since in sanity is a misfortune, not a crime, and a misfoitune into which the hus band or wife may be driven by the conduct of the other party. Such a law oilers the coveted boon of freedom as a reward for brutality, neglect or infidelity. Moreover, it will give an impetus to the outrageous business of shutting up sane persons on the ground of insanity, and will make di vorce particularly easy for parties who mutually desire legal separation. Florida has gone a step further than any other state and it is gratifying to that the legislature is soundly denounced for passing the hew law. ft Advancing the Volunteers. It is a welcome announcement that President McKinley will appoint a large number of non-commissioned volunteer officers to tiie new places in the commissioned ranks occasioned by the army bill. A strong plea on behalf of these volunteers is made by General Charles King, the veteran tighter and veteran writer of the regular army. He is a West Pointer l*ut his warm regard for the volunteer, as ho has seen him in the Philippines and at homo, is shown in an interesting article in the Saturday Evening Post. Out of all the thousands of candidates for the few hundred positions General King thinks that the authorities at Wash ington should give the preference to the volunteer officers who have seen service and proved tlieir worth, even if they arc not so smart in text-book knowledge as some who may apply. There is every indication that Presi dent McKinley intends to give the vol unteer officers now in service this pref erence. Hundreds of them have al ready been ordered before the examin ing boards, and we have as yet heard no complaint that the examinations have been made too severe. A presi dent cr a secretary of war less friendly to the volunteers might readily exclude an overwhelming majority of them, and that wiinout the appearance of unfairness, by setting up a technical standard in the examinations that it would be impossible for them to reach. As General King says, there has been little time for text books these last two years in the Philippines, and even the best educated of our vol unteer soldiers will find themselves rusty. But the war department shows an inclination to make things as easy as possible for these young applicants, relying mostly on the records which they have made in the broad school of experience. General King has used the occasion to pay some high compliments to the volunteer soldiers who came from the West. He notes that the call for vol unteers was responded to by a high grade of young men—higher than the average of the national guard regi ments which went as entities from the Eastern states. "I am reminded,” he says, ”of a day in camp at San Fran cisco before we got away to Manila. The stiff gale blowing in from the Pacific snapped the ridge of the •fly' in front of brigade headquarters, and an enterprising quartermaster—a West Pointer and a cavalryman—called for a detail to repair damages. A corporal and six men of a brand new volunteer regiment from the Pacific coast came on the run. In ten minutes the pole was spliced and the squad was march ing back to camp. Then entered the quartermaster, lifting his cap and wiping his brow. 'Warm work?’ I asked. ‘Yes, sir, but just look at that squad. That man in the lead on the right put me up at his club last time I was in Portland. The fellow on his left dropped a position at six thousand a year to soldier for thirteen a month, and the corporal can sign his check for more cash than all the colonels and generals in the camp.' course i olonei iioosevelt s story beats this—his going yachting with a New York nabob and next finding him peeling potatoes for liis squad of rough riders at San Antonio. It was all in the game. But it is wonderful to look back on the composition of the old Eighth corps and to think of the men who sweltered under the Luzon suns in blue flannel and khaki, their faces blistered, their shoulders black and blue from the vicious kicks of the Springfield under the influence of the smokeless cartridge. There was more education under those slouch hats than under the laced chapeaux of many a European war.” And. speaking of education. General Kings says that nearly every Western regiment had a "university company," composed of students, who sent above the crash of battles the yell of rival colleges. Moreover, there were profes sional men of all sorts. When the gen eral had his command at Honolulu and malarial fever broke out, he was at his wits’ ends to get proper medical attendance. Then the doctors com menced to step out of the ranks until he had enough and plenty. He tells, too. of hearing a mighty technical dis cussion of astronomy by some pickets on guard one night outside of Manila— a discussion which resulted in the FOR OLD AGE To the old, as to babies, the even balance of health is more important than anything else in the world. The possible health, in age, is not high and strong; it is only even. There is no end, but death, to the trouble that comes of its j loss. It ought to be watched like a baby’s. Scott’s emulsion of cod-liver i oil for very old and very young I —in different ways—is the food to secure this even health. We’ll send you a little to try. if you like. I SCOTT iiOV/KE, 409 Tcarl street, New York. breaking of communications between the Insurgents Inside and outside of, the city. A seeming star was glowing j I brilliantly In the tropic sky. A private I soldier who was versed In astronomy knew that such a star did not belong in that part of the heavens. He re ported to the proper officer and an in surgent signal on a church steeple a little later went out. "But imagine." says General King, "how odd it sounded to the old regular to hear his pickets glibly telling the stars named long centuries ago by Chaldee shepards watching their flocks upon the plains." It now appears that Prince Henry, the dashing young husband of Queen Wilhelmina, owed quite a number of debts, one-third of which he manfully agreed to liquidate "within a month of his wedding." Apparently, however, lie has experienced some difficulty in getting his hand into the Hutch strong box. The Queen declares that her husband must pay his own debts out of the allowance made to him by the state, and which is of a far more frugal character than Is usually deemed es s« ntial for the modest needs of a Ger man prince. The creditors of the gen erous Henry are not all young men. and most of them are not pleased at the distant prospect of realizing their dues from the Prince's Dutch stipend. They are therefore preparing to force the hand of the young Queen by form ing a syndicate for the purpose of negotiating the Prince Consort's paper on the Amsterdam Bourse. The young Queen is very much wrought up by this threat; but as she appears to lie powerless to prevent its execution, sin will probably end by reading Henry a little curtain lecture—and paying bis bills.

Watervllle is still laughing over that mock trial in City hall the other eve ning. It was a great fun-maker, and ihe professional and business m»n went into it like hoys who had never known the meaning of dull care. The Hath papers complain that their city is losing much of the business which really belongs to it. through the multiplicity of peddlars, agents and canvassers. There are merits and demerits about the policy of the Methodist church in keeping its ministers on the move. It is painful for a mutually agreeable pastor and (lock to part company after just getting well acquainted. It is not to be denied, however, that both preachers and communicants are less apt to get into ruts under this sy:;- j tem. The Bath Board of Trade is going earnestly into the Old Home Week matter and it seems probable that the State day will be held in the Shipping 1 City. Tuesday, August 13.

In the field of humorous journalism Maine has also won distinction. Charles F. Brown ("Artemus Ward”) had a personality that will keep his memory green when his writings are hut a memory.

The April number rf the paper Our Mission Work, publiskc in the inter ests of The Kennt l>ee Y lley Home for Children and The Water Street Gos pel Mission, has on its front page a very fine picture of Matilda \V. At kinson, founder of the mission and su perintendent of the Children's Home. Within appear liknesses of the bright faces^pf some of the children who have been ehred for by the Home. The su j perintendent's annual report gives a modest report of the work done by the institution, during the year. The re port of the work at the mission is al so contained in the paper. Numerous poems and stories aid in making the issue catchy and interest’ng. The steam bicy: le pump just put in by F. I. Clark is sure to prove to be a great boon to bicycle riders. It is un derstood that this pump is an inven tion of Mr. Clark. He has been at work on this for some time. It consists of an air reservoir in the basement which is kept full of air under a certain pressure all the tme. It is supplied with a safety valve so that it is impos sible to Inn st the tire with this pump. The air is conducted through a pipe from tlie reservoir in the basement to the sidewalk, so that all that is neces sary for a rider to do is to eouple the i long rubber connection onto bis tiro I the same as with the ordinary foot j pump, and then by a slight pressure of a valve the tire is filled just hard j enough without further trouble to the j rider. This will lie a gieat convenience to wheelmen, a.nd Mr. Clark certainly deserves the thanks of the ycling pub lic.

Hose was laid from a hydrant near by and water enough was poured Ir.to the hay to render further danger from that source very slight. Thursday's rain was a great disap pointment to the local fishermen who had planned to spend the day at the lake. Some did not allow the weather to interfere with their plans but more gave up and concluded to await a pleasant day. If the sun had shone. Thursday morning, the Hallowell dele gation at Cobbosscecontee would have been a big one. One of the smartest old ladies in the city is Mrs. Diantha T. Hilton, widow of the late Kdward W.

Mrs. Hilton, who makes her home with Mrs. Dodge on Summer.street, was 90 years old, last Tuesday, and though she has lived far beyond the limit of years accorded to the average mortal, she is as bright as a dollar and as smart as a cricket. HE FELL OVERBOARD. And Then in Drying His Clothes. His Stockings Are Burned. A talc of disaster reached the city soon after sunset. Thursday evening, from Oohbosseecontee. It seems that four Hallowell boys started for the lake at an early hour in the morninK. on a Ashing trip, taking with them the nec essary provisions to sustain life during the day. also a can containing enough live bait to stock a large sized aquar ium. One of the party teaches school, another works in a bank, the third is employed in an Augusta publishing house, and the occupation of the fourth one is not given. Everything went well until they reached the lake, and had loaded their freight into a boat, preparatory to starting out after fish. Then the boy from the publishing house got Impa tient. and wanted to get into the boat first, which he did. Just what happened at that particu lar moment is not known, but some thing did happen, and the result was that instead of remaining in the craft, he lost his balance and plunged over the other side, into the cold waters of the lake.

STEVENS HOSPITAL. She Opens Hie Institution. Which is Inspected by Physicians and the Press. Mrs. C. W. Stevens held open house j at her hospital at No. 17 noutelle avenue, yesterday, and a goodly num ber of the city's physicians called dur ing the afternoon. Mrs. Stevens is planning on sending out invitations to others in the surrounding towns in the near future. In the evening the local representa- tives of the press were very pleasantly entertained and given the opportunity to inspect the entire building. Painty refreshments were served to the callers riurnft the day. The building which has been chosen for the hospital In located In one of tin hghest sections of Iho city, away from all the noise and dirt. The drainage Is excellent and every room in the house j Is visited by the sun at some time dor- I ing the day. The house Is surrounded on all sides by extensive grounds so that in summer it can catch every breeze. On the other hand it is suf ficiently sheltered during the winter. It wan originally constructed for n double tenement, being an unusually large residence. According to the orig inal plans It was excellently adapted for a hospital and has slneo been re modeled for tills purpose so that It Is now all right. There are 1 rooms In all. ul>out 14 of with h can be used for pa tients. At one time 30 have been ac commodated there. The majority of the rooms are large, high and airy, with on abundance of light from luge windows. »ti the upper floor a corridor runs the entire length of the house with doors opening Into it fiom each of the j rooms. Then, too, the rooms are all connected and can lie used en suite If required. Many of them are large enough to accommodate* several beds.

A small war -killed in (be safe door near the combination abd some sort of :tn explosive, probably dynamite, inserted. The door of the safe was blown off cleanly but no other damage was done. There was no great amount -if money in the safe, the exact amount not being given out. It was n->t large, however, and the burglars did net make any great pay for their work. Some valuable papers, however, were taken. These are worth less in the hands of a stranger hut are valuable for the company. It is thought that those may be recovered. There is no good clue to the men who did the job. The explosion was bead in the freight offi. e where men work all night and it was about 1.20 when the morn ing Pullman from ltungor is due at this station. It is thought by some that the burglars may have left on that train, it is also stated that s-rnif sus picious characters were seen loafing about the station during the night and were driven off by the officers. If lliexo were the men who did the job a. good description of them has been ob tained and may lead to their arrest. The Associated Press Story.
