THOROUGH INVESTIGATION WILL
BE MADE INTO CAUSE OF
EXPLOSION.
LONG LINE OF HEARSES CON-
VEYS VICTIMS TO LAST
RESTING PLACE.
DEATH LIST NUMBERS NINETEEN
MAY BE INCREASED TO TWENTY-
ONE BY DEATH OF TWO
INJURED.
Lowell. Mass.. Aug. 1.A long line
of hearses, moving slowly through the
streets yesterday, was a pathetic re
minder of Wednesday's terrible catas
trophe at Wigginsville. when an explo
sion of tons of nitro-glycerine, dyna
mite and gunpowder snuffed out near
ly a score of lives, painfully injured
more than double that number of per
sons. a.nd scattered half a hundred
dwellings over a space of several
acres. The number of dead stands at
nineteen, but it may be increased to
twenty-one at any moment by the
death of two of the ten victims at St.
John's hospital. All day yesterday the
searchers probed throughJ
the debris
for any traces of possible
Unknown Victims
of the tragedy, but nothing" was
brouglt to light which would indicate
that the number would be greater tl an
reported. A small bit of cloth, later
identified as the lapel of a coat worn
by on of the victims already known,
and a human eye were the only grew
some reminders unearthed. Every
portion of the ruined territory has
been carefully covered.
Insurance adjusters state that the
loss to their companies will be. com
paratively light, as only the loss re
sulting from fire will fall upon them.
This will mean that many of the house
holders, nearly all of them laboring
men of small mei-.is.
Will Lose Everything
they had in the world. The official
report of the Tewksbury selectmen,
which was made public last nic-lit,
places the loss in the immediate vicin
ity of the powder magazines a.t more
than $100,000. and as this will fall
largely on the householders, much
hardship will result. A relief fund
started by the local paoers had
reached the $2,000 mark last night.
Ai'tei' going over the ruins yesterday
afternoon Judge Hadley, of the local
municipal court. Stated that tie would
lnsit upon thu pi'oacnoc of tLe dis
trict attorney at the inquest, which
will soon be held. He added that the
inquest would look at the matter in a
most Uorough way, and that no efforts
would be spared to place the full re
sponsibility.

DIVINE GUIDANCE ASKED IN SE-

CESSOR.
LAST PREPARATIONS ARE MADE
FOR THE CONCLAVEALL
CONFUSION.
Rome. Aug. 1.The last tribute was
paid to the late Pope Leo yesterday
morning at the third great requiem
mass celebrated in the Sistiue chapel
of the Vatican and the function was no
less ceremonious and imposing than
the two others. While there were
perhaps fewer persons present, there
was a greater display of gorgeous uni
forms. Of the sixty-two cardinals now
in Rome, all attended the mass except
Cardinal Cretoni, prefect of the con
gregation of sacred relics, who was
ill.
In the churches of Rome yesterday
began the offering of prayers to the
Holy Ghost to assist ami enligl ten (he
cardinals to choose the right man -to
sit in the chair of St. Peter.
Great Activity at Vatican.
The __ Vatican yesterday was the
scene of great activity both inside and
outside. Within, the last preparations
were made for the conclave and every
thing was in the utmost confusion.
Workmen and servants were hurrying
hither and thither, some hanging cur
tains, others nut-ting in extra furni
ture, while porters were staggering
along under immense trunks as if
some cardinals expected to remain in
their cells for months. Other cardinals
sent practically nothing, In the Sis
tine chapel work was ordered contin
ued tliie^hont the night. The cataf
alque i rected for the funeral services
was being pulled down and .the gal
leries which were built for the accom
modation of the special personages is
being replaced by stalls for the cardi
nals.
Outside tho Vatican the work was
of a different character, the quiet
work of the supporters of the different
candidates marshaling their strength
for the contest which is to come when
the doors of the conclave are closed.
Mo one candidate stands out promi
nently, as did Count Pecci in the con
clave of 1S78, and the discussion hero
is not so much concerning the superior
qualities or tne oaiuunatos as ot the
strength with which they are credited.
