SPOKANK FALLS, Wash., Sept. 8. A frightful and deadly exploslou of dyna mite occurred, in the Northern Pacific freight yards in the eastern part of this city Hut unlay afternoon, near b o'clock. A largH force of men have been for some lime engaged in blasting out a large rock pile at that point,andat the time of the ac cident about fifty njen were at or near the fccene. The practice has been to fire the blasts after the greater portion of the la borers employed had gone home, so as to reduce the chaucet for fatalities, la cm of an accident, and the men killed or in jured were busily engaged in the work when the catastrophe occurred. Crushed Under Tons of Kock. While engaged in the work and when one blast bad been prepared and the men were putting in a second, it exploded. How it happeued is not known. The man who made the fatal mistake can not tell for he is among the dead. The explosion set off the other blast and the effect was terrible. Twenty-five thousand cubic feet of rock was thrown over upon the unsus pecting mass of humanity, and from the debris immediately there arose the cries of a score of crushed and mangled victims. Hundreds of people soon gathered at the scene, and for three hours the work of taking out the dead and injured went on. The scenes at the hospital were heart rending. Wives and relatives of the workmen were crazsd with grief and sus pense. The List of Dead. When the ghastly work of recovering the dead nnd rescuing the injured had been completed the list footed up sixteen corpses, blackened, crushed and broken, aud seven seriously hurt. The names of those sent so suddenly to eternity are as follows: Joseph McPherson, foreman; B. Vilter and James Talbo, powdermen; A. Puelonelis, J. A. Holm, Joseph Hay, John Cartlino, rockmen; Henry Jacobini, Henry Apted, Hay Pinkney, drillers; six drillers, names not known.

A ltear-End Collision In Colorado Th at Kills Five Persons. Denver, Colo., Sept. 8. Four miles east of Florence at 5 a. m. Saturday the worst railway accident that has shocked the people of this city for years left five corpses in its ruins and wounded thirty seven other persons, two of whom will probably die. The cause of the accident was that the rear section of a fteight train ran into the front section, telescop ing a crowded passenger coach attached to the end of the first section. The local-' ity was a sharp curve, so that the engin eer of the rear section did not pee the doomed car until it was too late to stop. Effect of the Collision. When the locomotive struck the passen ger car the latter was instantly reduced to kindling wood. How a soul among the passengers escaped is a wonder. The im part was so furious that twelve loaded freight cars ahead of the passenger car were, wrecked. There were forty-seven persons in the car, und but five escaped unhurt. The killed were: II. L. Win ters, Idaho Springs, Colo.; Jonathan Falks, Pueblo; A. M. Meyer, Pueblo; James Donovan. Pueblo, and C. 11. Will iams. Leadville. Those most severely hurt are as follows: James Faust, fractured thigh; J. Porenti, both hips fractured; Ed Brown, hips dis located; John Welsh, head badly cut; E. L. Fash, severe internal injuries; John Palmer, both legs broken and internal in juries; Earnest Scott, internal injuries and head-hurt; Ubaldo Maschutt, scalp wound and shoulder hurt; John Delduoa, left hip broken and head injured; Ed Martini, leg broken and thigh dislocated; Michael Burke, spine hurt; David Ashbery, in ternal hemorrhage. The wreck cost the company tha Rio Grande railway 1100,000. INTO A STREET CAR. A Hallway Train Ituns Right Through an Klectrlo Street Car. Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 8. A car on the Electric Motor line in this city was run down on WiIon avenue by a train on the New York, Chicago and Ss. Louis railway at 7:30 p. m. Saturday and the car smashed. It was full of passenger at the time and the result of the collision was one death and thirteen persons more or less severely hurt. The blame seems to rest on the railway people, as the locomo tive was running twenty-five miles nn hour and there was no whistle blown or bell rung, and no signalman at the crossing. The Dead and Wounded. The victims of the nccident are reported a follows: Minnie Mock, aged 24, crushed, died a-t hospital; J. A.

The express train due here from Boston at 5:20 Saturday evening ran into a Dan bury and Norwalk railway commuters' train at the junction in this city. About thirty passengers were injured, and both trains were badly smashed.

Godfrey, Sanford's statiou; Emily Martin, New York. Previous to this disaster, which de stroyed its usefulness and stopped its ca reer of death, the train-had two other mishaps, or rather was the cause of trouble to three other people. Just below Hart ford it killed a woman who was crossing the track, and just below Meriden two men got in its way and were frightfully hurt. It also had a collision with another train, in which one brakeman was hurt. The Tragedy of a Cigarette. NEW YORK.

When ho left the booth, and was on his way home, he was cheered ng.tiu and again. OTHER POLITICAL MATTERS. MaJ. McKinley Thinks He has n Tough Jolt iu His State. New York, Sept. 9.
