Charge of Murder Against Patterson Woman Before the Court CASE FOR THE STATE OUTLINED Assistant District Attorney Rand Says the Alleged Murderess Was Deter mined Young Should Not 8ever His * Relations ? With Her By Going Abroad ? Revolver Used in the Shooting Purchased by Her and Her Brother-in-law at a Pawn Shop ? Several State's Witnesses Examined ? Dense Crowdo at the Afternoon Session. New York, Special,? The trial of Wan Patterson for*llie murder of Uook ker "Caesar" Young, was fairly be ll before Justice Davis in the Su me Court Monday, and when ud rnment was taken Assistant I)is Ct Attorney Rand had concluded his itllne of the Stage's case, and ha<l ex "Ined sevej-at of?(he witnesses for the mecutiou. '/ A The stories thai there would be fur _...ther delay in the trial were early dls fr-.pos<?d of by the announcement from the ^ tourt that Foreman Henrlcks. of the r fury, who had asked to-be relieved, c Vouid not be excused. Then came Mr. Rand's opening, in which he said the State's witnesses would prove thai Nan Patterson killed You 113, and that the killing was planned several hours be fore the morning 011 which Young met his death. There was not an unusually large -*>wd In the court this morning, but the doors were opened for the uf m session . there was a rush to ^admittance' which swept the squad fc4M?rt officers off their feet, The jpn floor of the Criminal Court bulld was a solid muss of people, and ie who had business In th? court 1o fight to even reach the vesti it6. The crush became serious in a $hort time, and police were called in from the streets to aid In maintaining Order. F Mr. Rand said in his opening that the crime would be proven by strong ^.circumstantial evidence. He sketched Kpie-relatlons of Young and Nan Patter son. saying that in March, 1904, at his wife's pleading. Young decided to shake tNan Patterson. "She was given $800 to leave him. I am compelled to show the relation that existed between Young and this Woman. This evidence will not be milk for babies, therefore let its be strong enough to face the truth, ? though we would far rather turn p aside." He detailed the momcvents of Miss Patterson and Young, declaring that notwithstanding the money which was given her as an Inducement to leave, "Nan said she had n better claim on Young than any other woman, and re # fused to give him up." Mr. Rand declared that on June 3, J. Morgan Smith, the prisoner's brother in-law, accompanied by a woman, pur f- rhased n revolver at Hiram Stern's pawn shop. "The 'same night." he said, "Nan and - Young met and went to Flannery's sa loon, where they remained until 3 L. .o'clock the next morning. During the ?- night there was a series of scenes bo | 'tween Young and his mistress. When he tola her that he was going away, pv the replied that He ?ould not, and that he could not hide himself on any acean liner. ' "'"W "Next morning Young met Nnn and ? thoy drove down town together 10 the hansom cab In Which the tragedy oc curred. Afler th?' shooting, the revol ver. bought on the previous evening at the pawn shop, was found In the dead man's right hand coat pocket. . "I am not going to produce J. Mor gan Smith, because He has left the , Slate. After the purchase of the re volver he was seen quarreling with Nun Patterson near the Sixth avenue pawn shop. He was heard to say to her "You must do^41,' and-she replied, ?| will not." Th*n Smith slapped his sister-in-law's face and pushed her in - to the cab and sent, her home."? The first witness to be called from among those who wero in the vicinity of the cab where Young was shot was - Woo. J. Junior, a policeman. His at tention had been called to a commo tion in the cab by a citizen, and as the vehicle drew up he ordered the driver to atop. As he climbed upon the step hfc saw a man whoso body lmd been I'Ollcoaled by the closed door. The man was unconscious. Miss Patterson told J>im that her companion had shot him self, and he ordered the cabman to drive to a hospital. Iu the meantime l;t> had found a wVJplver in the right hand pocket of Young's coat.

' " THE OISPENSARY MATTER I Effort# Being Made 'o Many Sections to Get Rid of the Institution. The storm which has been forming ami heading toward the dispensary is constantly gathering force, und if it does not wlpo uut tne system at the uext. session of the legislature there are almost certain to be some radical changes in the conduct of the busi ness, which hits become u stench in the nostrils of the people. Senator Tillman himself recognlzese that radi cal concessions will have to be made to save the institution. In his opinion the whole point is the betterment of the system. But he admits that if the next legislature does not straighten out things, remove the doubt from the conduct. of the business, and raise the purchasing and other features of the system absolutely above suspicion the succeeding session would likely deem it wise to submit the whole question to the jifcopta, ,and he hopes therefore that the legislature will do u toning 'up stunt without delay. As a last re sort he favors "farming out" the entire business to some responsible concern, which would conduct it under proper 1 bond and rentrictions, which would be compelled to keep up the general fea tures that all agree are good. In the opinion of Senator Tillman it is utter ly impracticable and ill-advised to have i ouuiy management of the dlspen^H ies. He urges that the same incentive that is now suggested annates one board to make money out of the dis pensary would exist among 40 boards, and that If there is corruption in one central board It would spread out among forty boards, if there was no change in the method of purchasing and manner of conducting the busi ness. ?

Philip Maltry, the proprietor of the Wright's hotel barber shop, strangled lUinself to death *( mo time Tuesday night. The first intimation that any one had of the aw till occurrence was when the dead aiLu's wife went into his room yester day morning to awaken him. He had l:?.eu iu ill health for several years and lately was despondent. Mrs. Maltry found iiim wiin a heavy string around Lir. neek in which was a piece of wood. He had strangled himself by twisting the wood around In the string after the manner in which a physician twists an Improvised tourniquet in or der to check t lie flow of blood from a r.evered artery. Coroner Green was summoned and called in I)rs. S. II. Fishbufne and John 11. Burkhaltor. There was no necessity to hold an in quest, the coroner so considered, as the evidences of the manner in which the deceased met his death were so ap parent. Maltry had nt one time a good business and seemed happy and prosperous. He had, it 'is said, lately been,bn bad terniR with former friends. He had but one barber at the time of his"' death. It is surmised, although this is merely rumor, that certain re call occurrences made the dead man very despondent. A Splendid Gift. Spartanburg, Special. ? Mr. S. M. Mil llken, th?

The number, it is stated, is so large that there is difficulty in securing accommodations for the visitors that desire to secure Bleeping accomodations. Some time ago the railroads of the south com menced a systematic canvass of the west vjith tho Intention of brimtlng as many of the visitors to this part of the country as possible.

Chicago, ill.- -Twenty two acety lene kiis tanks exploded the other morning In the charging station of the Pyle. National Headlight Company, in South Chicago, whore forty odd men were at work. Four bodies have been taken from the ruins of the station; two wore mortally hurt and twenty others suffered Injuries. The force of the explosion wrecked the entire building, covering a <*lty block, carried debris a mile and a half, reduced to particles most of the win dows in houses within half a mile and threw the walls of hundreds of houses out of plumb. The trembling of the | ground from the explosions and the deafening roar resulting so frightened people that within a few moments every house within a radius of half a ! mile was deserted. j The street* were crowded by per- j sons fleeing, their aims heaped with their valuables. , Storekeepers left their shops wide open, and the scene was one as though a volcano was iu | eruption. That the frightened onesj had good reason to tear is shown by the fact that all of the buildings with in a block of the charging station were j so badly damaged as to be unhabit able. I The Pyle Company was a tenant of the People's tias Light Company, the , many huge gas tanks of which were nearby. The police completely sur- : rou.uled the property occupied by }he jiatf company, but kept at a dlsja/iee I that assured safety. The flrejneiy for ' a time were forced to throvjKwater on i the lire from a block's distance,] mo mentarily expecting to l>e hurled to the earth by the explosion of the big tanks. The flames were shooting hundreds of feet into the air, accompanied by clouds of black smoke from the burn ing gas. (jrcat masses of bricks and iron fronv-^tkc burning tanks were thrown into the air by explosions. To prevent the explosion of (lie gas in the mammoth tanks the gas com pany officials ordered the waste pipes opened. These pipes run outside of the plant, and in a short time the big tanks were discharging gas into the air. This was :t dangerous undertak ing, but It was chanced, and proving successful, prevented a larger destruc tion of property. Across South Chicago avenue, direct ly opposite the gas storage buildings, was a large coal shed lillcd with coal. The huge coal pile was ignited, and In a few moments thu blaze there was be yond control. . The tWcrtty-two tanks were each charged with 22"?0 pounds to the cubic inch of acetylene gas. They are the tanks that are connected to railroad coaches for lighting, and Vach gives light to a car for six months without recharging. Eleven tanks exploded in quick succession,- and were soon fol lowed by the blasts of the remaining eleven. At the first explosion all of the men employed in the charging sta tion staged to escape. Some of them got outside with slight Injuries; oth ers were caught on the verge of safe ty and were seriously hurt, while j the?-> in the rear must have met death # instantly. I Tho dead were buried under tons of burning timber and hot brick and iron, making It Impossible fo remove their bodies for hours. Firemen poured wa ter on that part of the building in which the dead were thought to be bulled until the flames were subdued sufficiently to penult of the four bod ies being removed. It Is officially reported that the ac cident was due to an employe enter ing the charging room with a torch and meeting gag -coming fron a leak in one of the tanks. Those whose bodies have boon re covered were Ralph Wells, superin tendent: George Muehl. engineer; Ainos Watkins, assistant su;>erlntei^l ent, and Johu Jennings, laborer. Those who will die of their hurts are W.,M. Maloney and Alfred Cox. PUT OX CRANK SHAFT AT SEA. Steamship Jersey City Spent a Week Doing It. New York City.?

Central Vermont ltallroad freighter Mohawk, which tin4 Boston overtook, on tire, in 1/oiik Island Sound in the night. The Boston broiiKht twenty-seven |u?rf?ons from the Mohawk, including twenty-five ol' the crew and two women, wives of officers of the Mohawk. Andrew Larsen. the night watchman of the steamer, a Swede, was lost. As he was tln> per* Ron who should have discovered the lire, and us no report from him was received hy the officers of the ship. It is supposed that he was overcome-by the Haines and burned to death. The members of the crew remained in Fall Itlver only a fhort time, taking a train for Providence. The captain of the Hoston gives tho following account W the disaster: The Hoston came up with the Mo hawk at 12.45 o'clock iu the morning, about a mile on fit of Cornfield. Th? Mohawk was then u limit ?? ?? hour's run from New London, her usual terminus on the eastward trip. 'I^> Mohawk was stopped and was bunting furious ly forward. She signalled the Hoston. which ran up as dose as possible and stood by to give assistance. A boat containing two women and some mem bers of the crew put on# from the Mo hawk almost lmincdlnMy after Ilia Boston's arrival, and the two women-* were placed safe on board the KiiII Itlv er line boat. The boat crew which hail come to the Boston put buck at once. An hour later, driven by the spreading of the flames, the Mohawk's crew abandoned the burning vessel and reached tho Boston iu two boats. As they drew away it was scon that ! hot Mohawk w?K ablaze from cud to end, and shortly after they had reached the Boston ii heavy explosion occurred on the Mohawk, which lifted the deck. The smokestacks Hew upward, fol lowed by a burst of Hume and denso columns of black smoke. Then the dames leaped up to a great height and continued burning fiercely. It was ap parent that no further purpose would be served if tho Boston remained by. and she resumed her course for Fall Itlver. The Mohawk's men said that the fire.' was discovered by those iu the pilot house shortly after midnight. It was pretty well forward, and the crew were at once sent to their stations to tight the flames. The great heat, however, prevented them from getting close to the bluj*-e, which spread and steadily, drove back those who opposed it until ! the/entire vessel Was doomed. As the night watchman was the person who should have discovered the lire, and as no report from him was received by the officers of the ship. It Is believed that he attempted to quench the tiames and was overcome and burned to death. The Mohawk's cargo. It was said here, -was one of the heaviest in months. It included nearly 1000 bar rels of sugar, a large quantity of baled rags, WSlfles oil and gasolene. Those who were on board of her were unable to estimate her value or to approxi mate theA'alue of her cargo. / FAT J,*, COLLISION ON THE ERIE. Milk Train Crushes Into Caboose.

The wiping out of two families was complete with the exception of oftft member in each. The house at lKt> Trautinan street in the centre of a row of three-story fr^me tenement houses, and for many blocks in every direction these wooden ti.Mi w.?j; an oiiiier Hide of the va rious streets.

All the persons killed and Injured lived on the third floor a I'he family of Mbt ildl and t li<> persons living on the #<?e jnd floor got out in safety. There are two theories as to the ori gin of the tire. Ouo is that it started In the cellar of the grocery, where a lot of inilaninuiblc material was stored. Including kerosene oil. The other is that it began in h woodshed in the renr of the grocery. Once under way, the Are spread like lightning through the house, until it entirely cut ofT the families on the two floors above tho* store, except by tho' rear tire escape, the only one on the building. Minftldi, who lived back of the store with his family, got them out After the smoke had awakened hiiu. and (hose on the floor above, climbed down the Are escape. ** It was 011 the floor above that. death reaped Its harvest. All the bodies ... were found li) the rear room. It wa* svldent that n concerted rush had been made for the flre escape, as the floors below were a seething mass of flames, and Might in that direction was impos sible. The window? o? tlie room were tightly closed, however, all having per ished even before one could be opened. Precious moments were wasted Jti turning in the flrst alarm.
