Toledo, 0., Kept. 8. A special to the
Commercial from Cygnet, O., fcays: A
terrible explosion of nitro-glycerine oc
curred here Tuesday afternoon at three
o'clock, which resulted io the death of
kix people, w hoe tiamca urc known, and
others at present unknown.
The killed: Hani I la roe r, Allen Fallis,
John Thompson, Charles Ilartel, Henry
Lonsdale, Havens, a boy.
The explosion occurred attirant well,
locuted at the rear of the National Sup
ply company's oflicc building in the vil
lage limits. This well had just been
fchot by Samuel P.arber, the shooter for
the Ohio & Indiana Torpedo company.
The well was a gasscr, and when the
120 quarts of glycerine letdown into the
well exploded, the gas ignited, and w ith
a terrible roar the Haines shot high
above the derrick.
As Koon as the drillers saw the flames
several climbed into the derrick to shut
off the gas. but they had hardly gotten
there when there wa a terrific explo
sion. The burning gas had started the
remaining glycerine iti the empty cans
standing in a wagon near the derrick.
In another wagon near by were some
cans containing another 120 quarts of
the stuff and this was started by the
force of the explosion. The second was
blended with the iirst in n mighty roar
end the town and surrounding country
for miles trembled from the shock.
The National Supply company'H
building was completely demolished
and nothing remains but a big hole
where the wagons stood. There is not
a whole piece of glass in any window in
the tow n and every house aud More wus
shaken to the foundations. There was
awful excitement over the affair and
all the remaining population of the
town rushed to the spot. Who the men
are who were. In the derrick nnd who
-were killed cannot be learned now ow
ing to the excitement. r
The damage to the Ohio Oil company
will amount to $:t.0()0. Fight buildings
are a totnl wreck and man- others dam
aged. The town has n population of
about 1.200. Many bystanders were
wounded.

Washington. Sept. 8. W. P. At well,
commercial agent of the United States
at Ilobaix, France, sends to the state de
partment a rcjKirt on the short wheat
crop in France. He says the crop In
France, and in fact In all Furope, has
fallen much h-!ov the average, nnd that
It Is estimated that the United States
and Canada will be called upon to ex
port from 120.000,000 to 130.000,000
bushels more than they exported to
F.t;rope last yenr. France will require
alwut 00,000,000 to meet the dellciency
In that country.
Consul lleenan, at Odessa, has made
quite an extensive reort to the state
department concerning the failure of
Hie crops In IJussi.i. In many district
It has been the wettest season ever
known and grain has been destroyed
by both rain nnd hail. Much of the
grain was not worth the expense of
binding. The wheat received at Odessa
is of a very Inferior quality. The report
predicts that little wheat will be ex
ported from Knsia during the season of
J8'.'7-!S, as there Is little available for
thai purpose, the old stocks being prac
tirally exhausted, ami tlie new crop
little more than sulliclent for the home
demand. The failure of the wheat crop
lit Austria-Hungary, Koumania and
Ilulgarin, Consul lleenan continues, has
brought buyers from those countries
Into Russia nnd wheat which would or
dinarily leave Odessa by steamers, i
destined to go by rail from the Interior
Into the countries named.

Kansas City, Mo. Sept. 0. A special
to the Times from FuiKria, Kan., says:
One of the worst wrecks in the history
of the Santa Fe railroad occurred three
miles east of here at about 7:30 o'clock
Wednesday night. Twelve or 15 jer
sor.s were killed and as many more were
bi.dly hurt. The fast mail train going
cast and the Mexico and California ex
press west bound collided head on. The
Mexico and California express was
pulled by two locomotives, and when
they struck the engine drawing the fast
mail, the boilers of nil three engines
exploded and tore a hole in the ground
si deep that the smoking cars of the
westbound train went In on top of the
three engines and two mall cars and
balanced there, without turning over.
The passengers In tlie smoking car es
caped through the windows. The front
end of this car was enveloped in a vol
ume of stifling smoke and steam, belch
ing up from the wreck below, and the
rear door was jammed tight In tire
wreck of the car behind. The wreck
caught fire from the engines. The cars
in the hole and the smoking car burned
to ashes in no time. In climbing out of
tho smoking car several men full
through the rifts Into the wreck below
nnd It Is impossible to tell whether they
escaped or were burned to death.
It Is feared that nearly nil of the
siM en mail clerks perished In the dis
aster, but so far only eight bodies have
been taken from the wreck. Those

Situation (irrnii to 1'olnt lo Ilejee.
tloii of C'olumliua I'ropoaK Ion.
Columbus, ()., Sept. U. The interstate
miners' convention adjourned Wednes
day evening until this morning without
having tuken a vote on the question of
accepting or rejecting the proposed set
tlement of the strike. The prospects
for the acceptance of the settlement are
fcomewhat doubtful; in fact a canvass of
the situation shows a majority of the
votes, unless some change should be
brought about, will be cast against It.
The greater part of the afternoon ses
sion of the convention was secret, the
delegates listening to speeches from
National President Hatchford ami State
Presidents Farms, of Ohio; Knight, of
Indiana; Carson, of Illinois, ami Dolan,
of Pittsburgh. All of these olliciuls.
with the exception of Mr. Carson, ar
gued in favor of the acceptance of the.
Pittsburgh operators' proposition.
They told the delegates very plainly
that If the proposition was rejected the
strike would fail utterly; that the con
test could not be continued as all re
sources had been exhausted. They ad
vised that Inasmuch as the strike had
been precipitated in the Pittsburgh dis
trict it was very proper that it should be
settled there.
President Carson, of Illinois, told the
delegates just as plainly why they
could not support the proposition for
a settlement, lie f.aid the Illinois min
ers were practically ignored by it. The
operators of his state had notified him
that they would not abide by any set
tlement made with the Pittsburgh
operators. In many of the Illinois dis
tricts, moreover, the miners had signed
ironclad contracts which run until
next May. Should the Pittsburgh and
Ohio ami Indiana miners resume opera
tions, the Illinois operators would be
compelled to open their mines ulso aud
the only recourse the miners of the
state would have would be a local strike,
for which they were unprepared. The
best they could do would be to accept
the operators' terms and that would
eventually force a reduction again in
the other states.
The most important action of the con
vention was in determining the basis of
representation. Some of the delegates
wanted n rule that no delegate should
be allowed to cast more than six votes.
This, if adopted, it is claimed, would
have settled the question of the accept
ance of the strike settlement very
quickly. It was the sentiment of the
convention, however, that representa
tion should be fixed so that all miners
should have a voice In the settlement.
Accordingly it was decided that one
vote should be cast for every hundred
miners represented. This makes the
votes to be cast by each state about
ns follows: Western Pennsylvania. ".'!0;
Ohio, 2S0; West Virginia, 110; Indiana,
CO; Illinois, 200. The Illinois vote,
which will be cast against the oper
ator's proposition, will about offset
the vote of western Pennsylvania
(Pittsburgh district). The vote of Ohio
is about cqunlly divided on the propo
sition, also the West Virginia vote.
This practically leaves the balance of
power in the hands of the Indiana dele
gates. Should they vote with Illinois,
which some of the delegates say they
have instructions to do. by Inference, if
rot by direct language, the proposed
settlement will undoubtedly be defeat
ed. The Indiana delegates say they are
instructed not to vote in favor or the
operators' proposition unless a general
settlement will be effected by it. In
view of the position of the Illinois
miners, they o not see their way clear
to vote to accept the proposition.
It develops that the vote of the Pitts
burgh district will not be unanimous in
favor of accepting the settlement, as
some of the delegates have stated open
ly they would not vote for it. The lead
ers of the miners are doing some quiet
missionary work and hnve hopes that
they will be nble to turn the tide In
favor of a settlement. To-dav the mem
bers of the national executive board
will be heard by the convention, nnd as
they all strongly Indorse the settlement
their views may have considerable
weight with the delegates. The con
vention is one of the largest delegates'
gatherings the miners have ever had.

Washington, Sept. 8. The general
government will render all assistance
in Its power to check the spread of yel
low fever. This will be done mainly
through the agency of the Marine hos
pital kervlce. Dr. Walter Wyman, the
Lead of the bureau, returned to this
city Tuesday afternoon and assumed
active charge In directing the work iu
assisting the state olliciuls of Missis
sippi in their elTorts to confine the dis
ease to the locality where it appears to
have Marted. Dr. Wyman says that as
jet he has no opinion to express wheth
er the disease is really yellow fevw, al
though he admits It looks very suspi
cious. The precautionary measures he
has taken are based entirely on the
declarations of the state board of health
of Louisiana In the (Jelpl case, which
was that the disease from which the
person died was yellow fever.
New Orleans, Sept. 8. Night fell upon
New Orleans without a single case of
yellow fever having Wen reported to
the board of health. Hut one imported
case thus far has been developed here"
and death has wiped that out. The
board of health, through Its president,
Dr. OHiphant, and its president pro
tern, Dr. Walmsley, declares that in
spite of all reports to, the contrary, not
one of the many who have come hither
from Ocean Springs has beeu strickeu
with the fatal disease.
Dr. Hunter, of the Mississippi board
of health, came Into town Tuesday
night from Hiloxl. He reports three
new suspicious cases and a later tele
gram from Hiloxl says it is bona tide
el low fever.
Only one additional death has been
reported at Ocean Springs with symi
toms of yellow fever, a mulatto. No
new cases have been reported. Ocean
Springs has been absolutely cut off
from the outside world, and the only
means of reaching the tow n are by wire
or mail.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. S. A telephone
