Two Carloads of Dynamite Explode at Jackson, Nev., Wrecking the Little Town, Killing Eight Amer icans and Sixteen Greeks Outright and Maim ing as Many More-Force of the Explosion Felt for Many Miles-List of Dead and Injured, (Special to Tho Tribune.) OGDEN, Feb. 19. Death and destruc tion were spread broadcast in the twink ling of an eye by the explosion of a car load of dynamite and black powder at Jackson station, on the Lucln cut-off, about -1 o'clock this afternoon. Twenty-four lives were snuffed out, eight Americans and sixteen Greeks. Many persons were seriously Injured, seven cars were utterly destroyed, thc station building was burned, the' track was torn up for 1000 feet and the tele graph line was wrecked. The cause of the disaster was a col lision between an cast-bound train and a construction train which was taking a siding, the concussion sotting off tile explosives with which the car was filled, j AMONG THE KILLED. A majority of those killed were Greek laborers, although many of the victims were English-speaking people. Among j the latter are: Owen Dermody, conductor, from j Beaver Dam, Wis., who lived for one hour and died on the train as he was being taken to Ogden. Thomas W. Burke, roadmastcr, his wife and three children. W. J. Burke, brother of the roadmas- I ter, and general track foreman. William Hallcr, mail messenger, An drews, Ind. The Injured Include: Operator Taylor at Jackson station. Mrs. Taylor. ' -- ;.r''-x-'-t Williams. - - r. i " Lema, epgineor. Sam Courtney, conductor oC.the work train. James Stanton, engineer, three -ribs broken and bad internal injuries. Those who have reached Ogden say that the scene of horror and desolation at the place of the disaster ls simply Indescribable. The ground upon which i the trains were standing was torn up for over 1000 feet, leaving u great exca vation 30 feet In depth, fragments of the .shattered cars were thrown for Incredi ble distances over the surrounding coun try, the station building was reduced to ruins and afterward burst Into flames, the tire completing the destruction which the powder had begun. The wires and polts of the telegraph line were lorn down for several hundred feet, and men had to go to Olney before news of the disaster could be trans mitted to Ogden. Relief trains were at once sent out and returned about 11 o'clock tonight, one bringing- eleven in jured and the other two. REPORTS CONFUSING. The catastrophe was at first attributed to lire! It was said that a composite car loaded with tons of dynamite and black powder took lire and burned qulet I ly until the black powder was reached. ' when an explosion occurred, setting off the giant. The great loss of life among the Greeksi was said to be due to the fact that they ruohed to the trains to sravo their belongings. A later and more reasonable version of the affair Is that the work-train was taking the siding to make way for the east-bound water train when the engi neer of the latter lost control of his ma chine and run into the powder car while It was still on the main line. Sparks from the engine set fire to the car and when the ilro reached thc powder tho explosion came. The most fortunate man on the line was a Greek who wns blown over a X Wh-'mPh7 X t , toifgw "IW X X ' 1P S JE A, JjTW I X Map showing section of country where biff battle between the Russians and Japanese will occur. l 4- SCENE JACKSON, a small station on tho line of the Southern Pacific 4- In Nevada. -f 4 TIME ! o'clock p. m February 19th.

News of the disaster caused a tremen dous sensation In Ogden. Citizens gath ered at the Union depot to await the arrival of the trains bearing the wound ed. The greatest excitement waa man ifested by the Greeks who semed almost crazed by the fearful slaughter of their 1 countrymen and relatives. The Burke family, of whom five were killed, are well-known here, having come from West Weber, Weber county. T. J. Burke was on a visit to his brother. Louis Contos, one of the Greeks killed, was a brother of John Contos, the mer chant of Ogden. He had a wife and three children in Greece. The names of. the other Greeks who were killed could not be learned last night. Three of those Injured were Thrumaf Caralos, Gust Canljake and George Catsamls. Later reports from the Injured had It that two Greeks were sure to die as they were literally cooked and could live but a short time. William Hallcr, the mail messenger who died en route to Ogden, was a vic tim of adverse fate. He wns about to I leave for Andrews, Ind., where his wife and children live, and had already se cured transportation to his home, but postponed his departure because his services were needed. Most of the dead Greeks were saing and Industrious men. They were their own bankers and the money belt on each body contains from ?50 to $300 In paper money and gold.

ROOSEVELT NOT SAFE, DECLARES FITZGERALD Congressman From New York Discusses thc Bill for a Great er Navy and Has Something to Say About the President. ' WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. The House today-began consideration of tho naval appropriation blfl. ten hours being al lowed for general debate. During the general discussion Mr. Fitzgerald (Demi) of New York declared that our naval programme was to pro cure a naval force greater than. that of Germany. He further said: "There h a growing feeling of unrest In this country.' There is an almost uni versal belief even among its friends that tho present administration is dominated by an unsafe man. In all sections of the country the conviction, rightly or wrongly, the conviction is firm that the present occupant of the White llouso ls apt to Involve us In war with some other nation. The same belief has been had with re$-pect to thc head of another great nation, which mny account for thc fact that at a dinner on Lincoln's birth day at Grand Rapids, Mich., the high est compliment that Baron Sternberg, the German Embassador, thought he could pay to President Roosevelt was to declare that he very greatly re sembled tho Emperor of Germany. If the prevailing belief Is Justified and. if the President Is to be given four years of power In his own right, now that the great representative of the conservative force in the Republican party, the late Senator from Ohio (Mr. Hanna). ls gone to his reward, it may bA wise for us to outdo even Great Britain In our naval programme. Is It the part of wisdom to encourage an unsafe and Impetuous and adventure-loving executive by loose talk and with big appropriations; should he not be made to feel that thc sentiment of this country ls for peace, not strife? It nlways nas been so, and It always should bo. "Since the Spanish-American war It Is true the people Mem to ljave been carried away with the glamour of mili tary achievements. So stupendous have the expenditures for the naval and mili tary become that Important internal improvements have been Indefinitely deferred." Mr. Foss. speaking, for the bill, said tho aggregate appropriated would af ford comfort to the economist and an Inspiration to those who believe In the policy of building up the American navy. He then explained the reasons for the Increase of 511.000.000 in this bill over the last, saying among other things that the Increase of 3000 men provided by the bill mude an Increased appropriation necessary. More men should have been provided, lie said, but there wus a lack of facilities for train ing them. In emphasising the necessity of build ing up the navy In times of peace, and the Impossibility of building ships In times of war. Mr. Foss exclaimed: "What would Russia give today if she could call back somo of her sunken ships?" I After routine business thc House went ' into committee of thc whole with Mr. j Hepburn of Jowa in the chair, and cn ) tered upon consideration of the naval . appropriation bill. Taking up the new warships provided for, Mr. Foss Mid the naval Increase j programme to be modest and reasona I ble, when what other countries arc do ing is taken Into consideration. Fig ures were quoted comparing the navies of the powers, showing the United States to rank fifth. Mr. Fitzgerald (Dem.;) of New York, snld that whoever can read the signs of tho times the programme of this Gov ernment Is plain. THIS MORNING'S NEWS. ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

Cleveland was again a city of mourning to- day. Buulness was practically suspended and a large proportion of the nopulatlon paid homage to the memory of their distinguished fellow cltl- zeu.

' Just four weeks ago today Senator Hanna left his home city for the ' 'lH Nation's capital, happy In the thought of his triumphant re-election to ! the highest legislative body In the land. His one ambition then, as he H himself stated, was to give to his country a season of uninterrupted I service. ! -f To a few friends, before his leave-taking, the Senator expressed a sen- ' timent that seems to have foreshadowed an event of the fur"ve. !

Just as dawn began to break over the city to day, thc doors of the Chamber of Com merce auditorium, where the body of the late Senator M. A.

The long lines of peo ple stretched, away until they exceeded In length the five blocks reached dur ing yesterday afternoon. The early hour of opening the doors, to the chamber brought thousands of men with thoir dinner nails on their way to their dally work. In such num bers did they dome, however, that many were unable to1 remain In line and con sequently wero deprived of a last look at the face of the dead statesman. Eariy morning brought many excur sionists from surrounding towns and lh?sc, too. helped to swell tho long line. Thousands who had hoped to have an opportunity to pass by tho bier of tho dead Senator abandoned the Idea when they caw how hopeless was their chance of gaining admission. THOUSANDS TURNED AWAY. Several thousand who stood In line waiting their turn were also disap pointed when the doors to the chamber were closed at 11 o'clock to prepare for the removal of tho body to the church for the funeral services. At JO o'clock the members of the State Legislature, who recently chow Mr. Hanna to represent the common wealth of Ohio in the United Statos Senate to succeed himself, drove from their hotel to tho Chamber of Com mcn'e In a body and looked for the last time upon the face of the dead states man.
