Y., May 21. —-Little re- mains this morning at Hoe’ s pond, a mile from here, on the New York Central road, to tell the tale of the fatal explosion which killed thirteen persons and horribly wounded twenty-two others. A train, consisting of a locomotive, a. tender and a flat cal, containing 1,000 pounds of dyna- mite in fifty pound packages, and carry- In g about thirty Italians, was wrecked by the explosive. The workmen had filled up the hole made by the explosion, re- pai1ed the tracks and piled away the de- bris. Travel 15 going on as usual. So fa1 as can be ascertained, the number of dead that are actually known is thir- teen. This is official from Coroner Mitch- ell. The coroner reports that, according to the information he had, he still believes that the1e are five bodies in the liver. The . 001 oner says that he thinks so from the list of men supposed to have been on the car at the time of the explosion. The river has been dragged for their bodies. Two men were fishing on the banks of the river near the scene of the explosion. They are reported to have been blown into the river. This cannot be verified until the men are throug "h dragging the river. Undertaker DV anderbilt is embalming the bodies of the dead men who were taken to his shop. Their funerals will probably take place Thursday. Some of their friends aIe 11p heIe making .11ran0‘ements Detective Humphrey, chief of the detec- tives of the New York Cent1 a1 road, and his staff met Coronerl Mitchell here at 11 o clock Wednesday morning to confer with him Iegarding the inquest. The' In- quest will probably be held on Monday. Miss Tempest Swore Like a. Tempest. INDIANAPOLIS, May 21 —Colonel J. C. Duif, of the Duff Opem company, is in hot water with his two pIima donne, Miss Marie Tempest and Miss Teare Snyder. Last night, in the “Red HussaI,” Miss Tempest sang an interpolated solo on Miss Snyder s time, having determined to out- do her rival, who lives in this city, and was being tendered an ovation at each ap- pearance. Miss Tempest swore likea pirate in the qu 1‘11 rel that ensued, abusing Miss Sny dc1 so that the latter said she would quit, and quit she did, refusing to go to Louisville, where the company appears next Since Miss Tempest leaves for Lon- don Saturday, Duif has no prima donna left. The company has left for Louisville. and Miss Snyder still remains here. It was stated that Duff is behind with his sala- r1es. The Fight for the Davis IiIillions. BUTTE, Mon, May 2l.——The trial of the great Davis will ease began in this city Tuesday, and the hotels are crowded with lawyers, witnesses and heirs from a dozen states. Colonel R. G. Ingersoll is at the head of the counsel for the contestants. The contestants asked for a change of venue to another court on the ground that Silver Bow county is deeply con- cerned in the success of the proponents in the case, as it would keep this immense fortune of $8,000,000 in Butte. The petition fora change of venue was, however, do nied, and the trial will proceed. The work of selecting a jury is likely to consume a couple of days. Wants Potter Declared Insolvent. BOSTON, May 21,—The Haverhill bank seeks to put Walter Potter individually nto insolvency. For this purpose a peti- tion has been filed in the Norfolk county insolvency court, and two hearings on the petition have already been held at the office of Judge White here in Boston. The bank claims to be the holder of a guaran- tee of Potter for a note of $5,000, made by the ’Worcester Steel Works, payable to G. M. Rice, and sold by the firm of Potter, Lovell & Co. to the plaintiff, the note bearing date of May 18, 1890. The Lumber Boycott Raised. NEW YORK, May 21.—-The boycott which was declared by the labor unions againsl certain lumber dealers in this city has been declared OE, and the sale and delivery of lumber in this city, which was stopped by lumber dealers because of the boycott, was resumed today. The strikers will go back to their old positions as union men. The end can hardly be called a victory f0] any one. The result was reached by mu- tual agreement, and both sides saw that it would be to advantage to call it a draw. The Train Broke in Two. SCRANTON, Pa., May 2l.—A southbound train of thirty refrigerator cars on the Del- aware, Lackawanna and Western railroad broke in two after leaving Clark’s Summit early Wednesday morning. When half way to this city the sections came together with a crash, instantly killing one brake- man and throwng all the cars from the rails. A passenger train leaving here for Buffalo at 3 o’clock ran into the wreck, but none of the passengers were injured. A New Move Against Thayer. OMAHA, May 21.—The Independent party leaders have announced that a convention will be called in the near future at which a. candidate for governor will be nomi- nated on the theory that since Boyd was declared ineligible to office Thayer can hold over only until the fall election. A Yacht Stolen by Her Captain. GLOUCESTER, Mass, May 21,—The 35-ton yacht Addie Emma, owned by Thomas Hodge, of the firm of Hodge & Poole, which left here three weeks ago, has been stolen by Captain Edward Worthley, who commanded her. Last week the vessel was heard from at Long Island, Me., where Captain VVorthley landed the crew and went to sea alone after trying to dis- pose of the vessel’s outfit atavery low price. Yesterday a. bill was received from Shelburne, N. S., for fitting the vessel out there, and Mr. Hodge telegraphed to seize the vessel for the bill, but she had sailed, and her present whereabouts i4 unknown. A Hartford Hotel in Trouble. HARTFORD, May 21.—The United States hotel of this city is reported to be finan- cially embarrassed. A number of small creditors have already secured attach- ments against the property. The larger creditors have also taken measures to pro- tect their interests. The owner of the hotel, ex-Sherifl O. D. Seymour, recently attempted to commit suicide. Navy Promotions.
