Cargo of Dynamite Explodes With Awtnl
Results Wednesday.
MANY PEOPLE KILLED
Mnny More Are Injured by the
Shock Which is Kelt Forty-Five
.Viles Away?New York Shaken
From Street Le.cl to Top of the
Highest Ruilding.
A cargo of dynamite in transit i
from a freight car to the hold of a
lighter moored at pier No. 7, Communipaw,
N. J., let go shortly after
noon Tuesday, 150 yards south of ttie i
Jersey City terminal of the Central I
Railroad of New Jersey and in the j
widespread ruin that followed seven j
men are known to have been killed, i
seven more are missing, hundreds
were wounded and varying reports
leave from 15 to 20 more unaccounted
for.
Thirty seems to be a conservative
estimate of Hie dead and property
damage will hardly fall below $750.000.
The c:n:se of the explosion is
variously attributed to the dropping
of a ease of dynamite and to a boiler
explo?!on on a boat.
The direct cause probably never
will lie known.
TVvmiii.'il
The Jersey Central terminal was
wrecked; three ferry boat's in the
si'pa were lorn and splintered: lower
"Manhattan, across the river, wr.s
shaken from the street level to thej
top of the Singer tower; severe damage
was done In Brooklyn and Staten '
Island, and to the immigrant detention
station on Ellis Island; the
shock was felt at Amityville. Long1
Island, miles distant, and in New
Jersey at i,ong Branch. 4,r? miles
av ay. Th?? damage is so widely scattered
that it is impossible as yet to
estimate "-ore than roughly, but in
Manhattan none it is placed ut $100,-J
000, on Ellis Island nt from $10.000
to $2 .">,000 and In all threequarters
of a million appears to be a
fair estini ?te.
Lighter Van'sliod.
The lighter receiving the dyna-'
mite, the Catherine W., owned by
Jemos Heeling of Jersey City, vanished
utterly with her crew of seven
men, including the master, Edward
Trover. Alongside was the lighter
Whistler, which was so badly shattered
that she sank with her crow
of two, while the Sweedisb steel

At St. Petersburg, Russia, the j
Vunt Patrick O'Brien do Lacy and j
i?r. I'antchenko wore placed oil trial!
Thursday for the murder of Baron
V'ssslUi Ruturlin by poison. An alerted
confession t?y t?r. 1'antchenko
chich was rend in court created a
i cnicndors sen .-a I ion.
In it he ii clared that ho had boon
i>pnotizcd by Count de Lacy and
led m :rd ue'l Baron Buturiin by
noculating him with the germs of
ilptheria. At first ho had intended,
u said, to use cholora gorms, but,
earing detection, substituted diphhoria
germs.
Before Ihe trial is finished, it is j
issorted, names of persons in high
ircles will !>e dragged in. A woman
lieh in Russian society, who is said
o be an intimate frineds of the docor.
and a male cousin of the Count.
*ho would lie benefited financially
>y the den!h of the Baron, have alcady
been mentioned.
The murdered man was the second
on of r.en. Butor'in, and the Couness
dc Lacy was his sister. The oldit
son of the General incurred painful
displeasure hv marrying a
nusiu ball dancer, and it was known
iiat Tkiron Ruturlin would inherit
ho bulk of his father's fortune, esimatcd
a' $4.000,00n. In the event
if the Baron's death it would go
u i outness <ip i.?acy.
Whrn Baron Buturlin was taken
II Count de Lacy called in Dr. Panlhenko.
A few clays Inter th? Baron
Mod. and Pr. Pantehenko filed a cerificate
that death was due to heart
"allure. The widow was suspicious,
lowevrr, and persuaded Gen. Buturiij
to have an autopsy. This re oaled
that the Baron had met his
leath through some subtle poison.
Chief of Secret Police T.ilipoff was
notified and after investigation ar<
sted Dr. Fantchenko and Count de
Lacy. The doctor, under rigid eximination
oroke down and confessed
hat he had "removed" Baron Butur:n
at the instigation of Count de
I acy, who promised him $300,000.
<nd also agreed to furnish money so
hat the doctor's woman friend could
marry another cousin of the muriered
man. TTe also confessed that
!.e had killed scores of persons by
rueans of poison.
"Haron Buturlin's murder was
nly a drop in the bucket," he told
liiof Filipofi. "Horrors have hauntsi

SOME WARM TALK
IKPItESEXTATlVE WILLIAMS OF
AIKEN" SPEAKS PLAINLY.
louse Passed His Hill on New County
Mutter by an Overwhelming
Vote.
111 ine nouse Air. Williams' bill to
ire vent the formation of deformed
ounties passed second reading with ut
objection Saturday. Monday
light the motion was made to reonunit
it.
Mr. Gasque spoke in favor of the
ill. He spoke of the bitterness
ometiuies caused by new county
iglits. There is no reason now for
'gerrymandering" since the negro
las been forced out of politics, and
lobble-sk tried and narrow-waisted
ounties.
Mr. Dixon also favo^ul the bill. It
ins get so now that if a terrltoiy
'bjects to taxes or prohibition or
itlier local conditions in their couny.
at once the threat is made that
hcv will leave the old county and
o into some other.
Mr. Courtenay of Edgefield delared
his personal apposition to the
ormation of Ileyward county, but
le believes that the constitutional
equirements have boon met and
hat those restrictions are severe
nough.
!>? . Turnbnll of Aiken made a
pirited speech for the hill, lie dehired
that twice has the Ileyward
ountv proposition been defeated and
iow it comes hack up here in an alnost
identical form and it is all the
imposition of one land corporation.
Te opposed the new county warmly
nd favored ihe hill.
Mr. Duller of North Augusta,
liken county, denied flatly Dr.
hirnhull's statement. He argued
hat the people of North Augusta as
roll as the land company, favors the
i. v. lumii.i. mi' |i"e'|in" (ii mill ceritorv
liave complied with the relutrements
of the constitution and
hose requirements are severe
>nouph. He made a strong and earicst
fleht apainst the hill.
Mr. Humbert declared tlie bill unonstitution.il.
Mr. Stevenson ir .a very clear ma flier
show, d that the bill is not in
'iolation of the constitution. Mr.
Uevcnsons declared that that proportion
had been foupht out in ihe
orniatlon of Dorchester county 14
cars apo. When ".Josh" Ashley
ried to pet a part of Abbeville voted
nto Anderson a few years apo this
same pronosilion was again doternined.
Mr. Williams of Aiken, author of
he bill, declared that he bad not
ntended to say anything on the hill
is its merits should bo apparent,
tut as it had been intimated that h?>
iad made a personal fiuht on tha
iromotcra, he would resent it and
vould pren< :i the funeral of Tieyvard
county.
iMr. Williams did not minco iiis
vords a bit. lie dec'"red that this
?ill is an outrage. That It see-saws
icross the county of Aiken from Elenton
on the south to Parksville.
>r somewhere near the flreenwood
inc. Tile county is f?0 miles in
enpth and only three miles across
it the proposed county scat and this
hree-milo line is within eight miles
if the court house of Aiken.
Tie charged that the efTort to
laruo this county was an insult to
dov. Heyward who was in office, at
IIK UIIIC, UBl'.i i:se I.Ill* t'lion W.I.-.
nado to gain his favor by showinv
hat his name, would go down into
listory in this manner. Ho alleged
hat the present governor was also
nrnlted by having his former lav.
lartner employed as one of the atornevs
of the no\. county, but he
lad born too much of a man to lie
swayed by such blandishments.
Mr. Willi ni8 declared further
hat. the ati< ipts to create this now
ounty ar-- all the ambitions of one
nan and that lie has Irondy put the
ounty of Aiken to a great ileal <>t
ypenso in the two elections In which
lie has failed an! there is now liefore
the legislature a eliim for
$1,800 for surveying this butterfly
ounty.
Mr. Williams also paid hir. respects
to the attorneys engaged on tnis
proposition. Ho declared that his
bill would prevent in the future all
such shoestring propositions of
counties and that the lawyers who
keep these matters in litigation so
such an opportunity.
Ho concluded by saying that he
had not wished to express himself so
pointedly on I he hill but lie had been
forced to do so by circumstances.
When he concluded the house voted
on the motion to recommit and the
motion ws rejected. The hill then
passed third rending and was sent to
tho senate.
