Eleven men were blown to pieces
.and five others were seriously injured
by the explosion of a dynamite plant
Saturday near Pequea, Pa., along the
Susquehanna river. Those killed
were: Benjamin Gebhardt, Benjamin
Riner, George Riner, Fred Rice, Col.lins
Parker, Charles Shift, William
Funk, John Boatman, all young men
between the ages of 17 and 23; an
unknown man; two unknown men,
.residents of York county.
All except the last two lived :n
"the immediate vicinity of the dynamite
riant: The victims were literally
torn to pieces, not enough remaining
of a single body to make
identification possible. The cause of
the explosion is not known. The two
unknown residents of York county
who were killed had just started to
<lrive from the place with a load
of dynamite. They had scarcely
gained a distance of 50 feet, when
the plant blew up with a detonation
that was plainly heard 15 miles away.
A great cloud of smoke covered the
site of the factory, and, when it had
cleared away, there was not a vestige
of the wagon, horses or men who had
left the fartiftrv rvnlv a moment ho
t fore.
The air was filled with debris and
fragments of human bodies and piec?3
of fiesh and limbs were found hang
ing to trees neariy 100 yards from tlit>
scene of the disaster.
People living near the factory rushed
out of their homes, and began
the work of rescue, but there were
few persons who had not been blown
to atoms. The remains of these were
gathered up and placed in soap boxes,
The injured, some of whom it is
thought will die, were taken to their
homes in the vicinity. The plant consisted
of a dozen building. All were
htown to pieces, except a remote
structure in which several girls were

at work.
The dynamite plant was owned by
G. R. McAbee & Co., of Pittsburg, and
manufactured the explosive for use
' In the Pennsylvania construction work
in that section.

GORMAN'S SUCCESSOR.
| Ex-Governor Whyte Appointed by Governor
Warfield to Fill Unexpired.
Term in United States Senate.
A Baltimore dispatch says: Ex!
Governor William Pinkney Whyte
has been appointed to fill the unexpired
term of the late United States
Senator Arthur P. Gorman, whose
death left a vacancy in the federal
congress. The appointment of ex-Gover
Warfield has caused much comment
on account of the impression which
is general that Whyte was the bitterest
enemy of Senator Gorman.
Ex-Goveraor and ex-Senator Whyte
will now "enter* the senate for the
third time, and for the second time
by appointment to fill an unexpired
term, he-having been named by Governor
Swann to fill out the term of
the late Reverdy Johnson upon the
appointment of the latter as United
States minister to England in 1868.
William Pinckney Whyte was born
in Baltimore August 9, 1824. He began
the study of law with a prominent
law firm, later entering Harvard
law school, and he was admitted to
the bar of Baltimore in 1846. In 1847
he was elected to the house of delegates
of the Maryland legislature, this
being his first public office. He refused
renomination for the legislature
!n 1849, was defeated for congress in
1S51, was elected comptroller of file
treasury of the state of Maryland in
1S53, was again defeated for congress
in 1S57, was a member of the democratic
national convention in 1868

Reverdy "Johnson, appointed minister
to England. In 1S71 he was elected
governor of Maryland and in 1S74 l<ed
States senator.
He declined re-election as senator
in 1880 and in the following year was
elected mayor Baltimore. In 18S3 he
became attorney general of Maryland
and in 18S9 was appointed by President
Harrison a delegate to the congress
of American nations, which he
declined. In 1898 he was made chairman
of the commission that prepared
Ihe new charter of the city of Baltimore,
and in 1800 h'e became citt
solicitor, that being his most recent
office. It. is related that his first
meeting with the late Senator Gorman,
whom he Is to succeed, occurred
in 1S71, when the late senator called
at his office to tender Mr. Whyte his
support in the contest for the governorsnlp
of the state then in progress.

Tragedy Occurred in New Mining
Town of Ernest, Pa.? Detail of

The new mining town of Ernest,
Pa., on the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg railroad, was the scene Friday
of a conflict between a detail of
state constabulary and striking coal
miners in which two strikers were

three of them fatally.
A body of strikers, headed by a
brass band, marched from the Anita
mines in Jefferson county to receive
one of the mine officials expected from
Punxsutawney. On the way to the
station the marchers encountered a
detail of twelve members of the state
constabulary. As they passed a
member of the band fired his revolver
at the troops. No one was struck,
but the constabulary immediately retaliated
with a volley from their carbines.
When the smoke cleared away ten
strikers were lying on the ground and
the others had fled precipitately down
the hill. ;
After the excitement had subsided
the wounded miners were removed to
Adrian hospital. As the result of the
shooting a mass meeting arranged for
Friday was canceled and Sheriff
Wettling has ordered the arrest of the
leaders of the parade.
The mines at Ernest are owned by

PACKERS ARE CLEANING UP.
Tragic Haste Madt? by Purveyors of
Meat to Use Whitewash Brush.
In response to a request from the
house committee on agriculture, President
Roosevelt Friday forwarded to
Representative Wadsworth, chairman
of that committee, the report made to
him by a committee of the department
of agriculture regarding conditions
in the Chicago meat packing
houses.
Accompanying the report was a letter
from the president in which he
joints out that there is no conflict
in the substance between the NeillReynolds
report and that of the agricultural
department experts. It is
said in the latest report that the packing
house proprietors are manifesting
almost "a humorous haste to clean
up, repave and attempt to Jlan for
future changes."
New toilet rooms are being provided,
with new dressing rooms and clean
towels.
The report says this haste toward
reform "would be amusing n rt was
not so near tragic."
The president says his investiga/
Hons have not been completed, dui
"enough has developed, in my judg.
ment, to call for immediate, thoroughgoing
and radical enlargement of the
powers of the government in inspecting
all meats which enter into interstate
and foreign commerce."

The fact that three cases of yellow
fever have been under quarantine
for the past ten days at Ship Island,
a government quarantine station in
the gulf of Mexico, about midway between
the mouth of the Mississippi
river and MobHe, Ala., was made
public in New Orleans Monday by

fact that they had not been notified
immediately of the fever's presence.
The cases came from Colon, and were
taken off the steamer Whitehall,which

that refugees are gathering to
escape yellow fever, which is said to
be breaking out at several points in

WATTERSON HEARD FROM '
<
Veteran Editor of Courier-Journal j
Says Nebraskan Will Be Nominat- i
ed by States Before Convert* 1
tion Meets.
Democrats of Indiana, in convention,
at Indianapolis, Thursday, adopted a ;
platform strongly indorsing W. J. Bry- 1
an for the presidency, and selected a
state ticket for all offices except gov- '
ernor and reporter of the supreme
court Benjamin F. Shively of South
Bend, former congressman from the
thirteenth Indiana district, was permanent
chairman. Referring to W. J.
Bryan he said:
"That which is today eulogized and
approved as broad statesmanship and
patriotism in Theodore Roosevelt was
a few years ago denounced as reactionary,
revolutionary and unpatriotic
in William Jennings Bryan- The aftersight
of the one is almost equal
to the foresight of the other."
The resolutions committee report
was read by Samuel I. Ralston, and
among other things it said: "The democracy
of Indiana, in convention assembled,
sends greetings across the
sea to that wise and conservative
statesman, unaltering patriot and superb
leader, William Jennings Bryan,
and pledges its vote in convention and
the electoral vote of Indiana to him
for president in 1908.
'Tor nearly ten years the republican
party has been in absolute con
trol in all departments in the national
government, with power to
change unjust conditions and to rectify
evils. Yet, during that time colossal
combinations of capital have
dominated the people and have stifled
competition and unfairly limited
the opportunity of the individual citizen.
Wealth thereby illegally obtained
has been unsparingly used to
control legislation and corrupt elections.
No honest effort has been
made or is being made by republican
legislation to cure or eradicate these
evils. We denounce the hypocrisy of
the republican party which, while pretending
to legislate against these conditions,
deals only with the symptoms
and not with the disease. The unfair,
tyrannical features of the so-called
'protective tariff' have made these
things possible, and no permanent relief
can bo secured until its obnoxious
features are removed. We demand that
this be done by a tariff for revenue
only."
The following were nominated: Secretary
of state, James F. Cox, Columbus;
auditor, Marian Baiely, Lizton;

WHITE HOUSE EXPENSES |
Throwrt Into Limelight by Represeiv
tative Brundige? Extravagance on
Part of President Alleged.
The house Thursday listened to a
jitter arraignment of the president at
the hands of Mr. Brundige of Arkansas,
a member of the appropriations
committee.
Taking the items for the refurnishing
of the white hcuse, the care of the %
grounds and the traveling expenses . ^
Df the president as his text, Mr. Bruadige
compared the expenses of the last . ]Q
Cleveland, the McKinley and the
Roosevelt administrations.
Under the Cleveland administration, i
he said there was expended for the |
executive department, including the
salary of the president, $137,200. Under
the McKinley administration there ^
was expended $144,500, while the bill '1
under consideration carries for the
executive department, including the ^
care of the white house, green houses, ??
etc., $253,340. X?
in addition to this, Mr. Brundige ^
said that there were forty policemen Jgj
detailed to the care of the white _: 9J
house and the grounds, and this was J|
an additional $40,000 added, bringing :ll
the total to nearly $300,000, which he o||
denominated as extravagance. He said
he did not know whether forty po?
licemen were too few or too many, yaa
hut he thought a section of the army
ought to he detailed for the proteo
tion the president and care of the
grounds, and these policemen permitted
to go into the sparsely settled
sections of Washington, where thugs
and marauders were preying upon Jsl
defenseless women and children.
He criticized the item appropriating JS
$25,000 for the traveling expenses of ^
the president and incident thereto, vJ3
and said it was probably made for
the purpose of providing for a repe- ;;JS
tition of the "muck rake" speech.
"No wonder, in view of the pres- :|j8
ent appropriations and present
penditures, no wonder the president
should hold up to public ridicule magazines
and newspapers of this country
and public men and private citi- :M
zens who dare to criticise. '
"I entertained the hope and belief
that the time will never come .in
the history of politics of this gov- ^9
eminent when any man occupying ft 'A
position of public trust and public
office will rise so high and become so ' |a
great that the humblest citizen and
the humblest newspaper or the largv v||
est may not justly and properly crlfrfrjjj
icize his official conduct and ae- }*
tions." :*
He spoke o! the president's stable
and enlarged on the number of the /J|
horses contained therein and finally ,^
spoke of the arrest of Mrs. Minor 'W
Morris and the appointment of the^ljB
secretary to the president, Mr. Barnes,
as postmaster of Washington, as show- % -}
ing the high-handed way the presi- dent
conducts his office. During the :1|
speech Mr. Brundige was frequently ^ "
applauded by the democrats, the re- .">?
publican side of the chamber beingV fjja
almost deserted.
In referring to the policemen detailed
for duty in and about the white JsB
house grounds, Mr. Brundige satirf- |||;
cally said he recalled the fact that
recently the policemen made one very ^
important "brave and gallant arrest" . '':i
Continuing along these lines, he
said: "By the aid of a burly negro, jaj
those gentlemen succeeded in ejecting vja|
from the white house an inoffensive, f
quiet, peaceable American woman. ^
They carried her out It Is true, with . 3
force; they carried her out in a man- ."'3
ner that has ever been and ever will :
remain an insult to the American &
people, to the American manhood and- 'Jag
to the American womanhood." (Ap- ,Jjl
plause on the democratic side.)
