CLEVELAND , July 23. A Euclid nvcnuo
car loaded with passengers was wrecked by
an explosion of nitroglycerine or guncotton
shortly after 11 o'clock tonight. Six per
sons were badly hurt , the names of the In
jured being :
Mrs. E. C. Martin , 79 Alanson street , com
pound fracture of the sktlll , right arm
"broken " and Internal Injuries , which will
probably prove fatal.
E. C. Martin , right arm badly cut and
bruised about legs and body.
Mrs. Catherine Harris , 25 Cornfrew street ,
Injured by shock.
A. E. Smith , CD Vienna street , Injured
about legs and body.
Albert E. Fassett , 12 Wallace place , legs
Injured.
Dora Schcssler , 11 Oakdalo street , bruised
about the body.
The explosion tore out the front end of
the car , smashed all the windows and de
stroyed the brake. After considerable dif
ficulty the car was stopped and a call for
ambulances was rung In. The motorman
was dazed by the shock , but the conductor ,
Frank Schroeder of St. Louis , escaped In-
Jury. The force of the explosion was so
great that It shook all the houses in the
neighborhood and was heard for two or
three miles.
The Identity of the person who placed the
explosive on the track Is not known. Per
sons living Inthe neighborhood say they
saw a man In a buggy etop at the corner
of Kensington street and get out by the
railroad track. 'Ho ' remained there a short
time and then drove rapidly away.
Within a few minutes after the explosion
n crowd of a thousand people assembled ,
nnd the Injured , who were suffering from
the shock , were cared for until the ambu
lances arrived. Most of them were not
seriously Injured , their hurts being con
fined to brulfiCH about the feet and legs.
Mrs. Martin fainted before she was taken
from the car. All were taken to their homes
in ambulances. The motorman on the car
managed tc--get out , of tbo vestibule ot the
car , nfid { th.cn 'fell * ' ton the "street , ' 'but he
quickly' recovered and helped to extricate
the passengers from the jwreck.
Cnr IteimiliiN on Track.
Passengers who were on the car say the
explosion eecmed to lift the whole front end
of the car and It ripped up the floor for
moro than half the distance from the front
end. The car was , In fact , a complete
wreck , but , strange to say It did not leave
the rails and was taken to the barns by the
next outward bound motor.
The police were quickly summoned to the
scene of the explosion and a force of men
was detailed to Investigate , with a view of
running down the person who placed the
oxplcalvo on the track. A boy living on the
corner saw the mywterlous man In the buggy.
Ho oald ho noticed 'the ' buggy drive up there
nnd stop and saw the man get out. Ho
fumbled about the rails for a mlnuto or two
and then Jumped Into the buggy and drove
away at a gallop.
There seems to bo no doubt now that
Mayor Farley will call out the three or four
available military companies in this city In
addition to those already under arms. The
call will Include the battery of artillery , nnd
the governor may bo requested to send other
troops to the city.
In the vicinity of the Jlolmdon avenue
barns today there 'was ' continuous rioting
for three or four hours. Every car that
passed was attacked with stones , nnd sev
eral pistol shots were fired at them. There
was a lively fusillade at ono time , the non
union crews returning the flro. Tug only
person hurt was a woman , who was shot
In tbo finger as one stood In her doorway.
The police made twenty-five arrests in that
neighborhood.
Rioting continued all along Broadway to
night and It took three squads of police as
many hours to escort three cars n distance
of four miles to the barns. Fifteen or
twenty of the strikers were taken Into cus
tody.
Later reports from UIOBO Injured show that
they were hurt much worse than at first
supposed. It Is now said that Mrs. Harris
Buffered a fracture of the skull nnd may
dlo , whllo F. A. Smith had both legs broken.
Three or four other persona In addition to
those whoso names are given above were
hurt , but none seriously.

The mobs were astir early this moin-
Ing. Soon after 10 o'clock 1,000 or
moro persons gathered on Bortln
street , on the South Side , and proceeded to
along with two policemen on board It was
attacked -with a shower of stones. In splto
of the policemen the nonunion motorman
and conductor were rouuhly handled. One
of them named IMcDormott had two ribs
broken nnd the other was badly bruised.
Ono of the policemen fired at the mob , the
bullet striking a man nmed Wennlck. The
mob assaulted the officers , both of whom
wore struck repeatedly with stones and but
for the Intervention of a priest of the
Catholic church near nt hand , might have
been lynched. By this time the cars bad
been mixed up In the > melee and a patrol
wagon full of police arriving , the rioters
dispersed and the cars wore taken back to
the barns.
There was a serious disturbance on the
Broadway line , at the corner of Petrlo street ,
where a mob of 3,000 assembled In the
forenoon apd obstructed the track. Finally
a car came along from the Wilson avenue
barns , having on board Sergeant Burrlows ,
a private of mllltla and Detective Kolso.
The officer ordered the mob to disperse ,
when the motorman attempted to remove
the obstruction from the track , but the
rioters showed fight. Then Sergeant Bur
rows and the one soldier , with fixed bayonets ,
faced the mob and attempted to clear the
way. There was a sharp fight for a few
minutes , during which a perfect shower of
stones fell about the detective and the sol
diers , famashliiK the car windows. No ono
was seriously hurt , and after arresting two
of the rioters and placing them on the car ,

In the afternoon a mob of 1,000 con
ceived the Idea of blocking the track on
Orange street by placing a big boulder In
the middle of the street and building a fire
around It , The plan worked successfully
and cars were delayed for nearly an hour ,
when the police drove the mob away , put out
the flre and gave the street railway men a
chance to move the stone. Three men were
sent to the hospital with wounds made by
pollceL-jn's clubs at the end of the riot.
As a result of the shooting of the driver
of a grocery wagon In South Brooklyn yes
terday afternoon by n non-union conductor ,
the mayor ot that village today Isoucd an
order to the marshal to arrest all non
union conductors who carried concealed
weapons. Every car wan stopped and each
conductor found with n revolver was ar
rested. All wore subsequently balled out
by the company.
A small riot was started nt the corner
of Pearl street and Franklin avenue , when
a young woman struck a. man who asked
her to board a non-union car. A crowd ot
union sympathizers stoned the- cars and a
squad of police finally cleared the street.
The company today sent n note to the
State Board of Arbitration , declining to ar
bitrate the differences , In which It says :
"This company , fully appreciating the sin
cerity of your desire to bring about a read
justment with Its former employes , begs to
say that the men who went out on Monday
last are not In the employ of the company
and there Is nothing to negotiate about or
to arbitrate. "

NEW YORK , July 23. The trolley car
strike , both In Manhattan and Brooklyn ,
seems to be practically at an end. General
Master Workman Parsons , at the meeting
today , launched the scheme for a new po
litical party , and nt the same time urged
upon the delegates of the various trades
unions In Greater New York the expedi
ency of contributing to a fund to aid the
strikers , and the delegates promised their
support. This Is what probably causes Mas
ter Workman Parsons and Deputy Master
Workman Pines to promise Important de
velopments In the strike situation this week.
It is a fact , however , that both yesterday
and today cars were being run under almost
normal headway on all the lines , except the
Nassau , throughout Brooklyn , even to the
various branches , and carrying large num
bers of passengers. In New York , except
for the presence of several hundred police
men on Second avenue and guards about the
power houses , no sign of a strike was ap
parent. There has been no delay In trolley
oar service In ( Manhattan , on any of the
lines , except on the Second avenue line , and
that is effected very little.
It Is stated by the police officials that to
morrow or Tuesday , at the farthest , most
of the police who have been gurdlng the
property of the railroad companies will bo
withdrawn.
flonnltcr Plenned with Outcome.
President Rossltcr was jubilant on Satur
day before leaving for Cold Stream. He
said :
- "The .strlke.vof course , has.caused , cbni
slderable trouble and expense to our com
pany , buUI am glad to say that nearly all
the lines were able to run today on regular
Rfhedule time. The strikers had prided
themselves that they had boon able to tie
up traffic to Coney Island , but they cannot
boast of that now , for tomorrow we will be
carrying all who want to go. I am sorry for
the men who were led astray by profes
sional agitators. I am willing to take back
the men who left their positions on the
Brooklyn Heights line , but > I am determined
that none of the Nassau line men will bo re
instated as motormen or conductors. "
In strike headquarters the men of the Nas
sau line assembled. 'Master ' Workman Par
sons did not appear. District Master Work
man Pines was busy trying to encourage
the strikers. Ho told them that oven If
the strike were unsuccessful , still they
would have the satisfaction of having re
belled against the evil system of hours and
wages Introduced and maintained by Ros-
slter. 'Mr. ' Pines added that If a certain
section of the press and corporations
Imagined that the str'ko would bo over In
a day or so they would soon discover they
were badly mistaken. He said that by Tues
day or Wednesday all the lines of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit company would be tied
up as tight as a drum.

EVANSVILLE , Ind. , July 23. The striking

head of the police department. Detective
Fred Brennecke and Sheriff Koepko called
upon John Ingle and asked him to disarm his
negro miners. Ho said ho would willingly
do so It ho had assurances that the striking
miners would not icnrry arms. Ho said that
whllo his men carried arms openly the
strikers did not display their weapons. The
situation still remains serious.

ENGLISH PRESS IS GENEROUS
American Athlctcn Arc Trained mill
Ilcnsoun for Their Defeat
Arc Pointed Out.
LONDON , July 24. All the morning pa
pers publish editorials expressing congratu
lations on the Immense success of the ath
letic meeting at the Queen's club on Satur
day and expressing the hope that It will
not bo the last of such contests. All compli
ment the members ot the American team
upon their splendid performance.
The Dally Graphic thinks the climate had
something to do with the result and says :
"It Is easy to bei'levo the rumor that Ill
ness was the cause of Harvard's record-
holder In the half mile running far below his
form. "
The Standard says : "Any hostility which
may ever have existed between the two
people has been owing to their Ignorance
of each other and nothing Is better calcu
lated to remove It than such meetings as
those of Saturday. Diplomacy and com
merce create jealousies quite as much as
they remove them , but much good Is likely
to result from the social Intercourse which
Is now springing up between those inwhose
hands will be the shaping of the Anglo-
Saxon -race. Wo trust the meeting may
take firm root as an annual gathering. ' , f.
The DallyTcl'c'gr2p''li "saVsi 'B nrcOiiHtrles
ought to bo proud 'of their representatives.
Such scenes are worth going miles to see ,
not merely for their own sake , but for what
they Imply of keen and brotherly competi
tion between two sections ot the Anglo-
Saxon race. "
Dealing with the defeat of the much-
dreaded Burke the Dally Telegraph says It
is only fair to admit that he was not in
fair trim.
The Times says : "Englishmen would not
have grudged the 'Americans ' their triumph
in the least degree if the fortunes had been
reversed. lAs it Is they will feel that a
victory Is a very llttlo thing compared
with the pluck and sportsmanlike spirit dis
played by both sides , and with the friendly
relations between the two branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race , of which they trust this
match is a token. "
The sporting papers are unusually en
thusiastic over the 'brilliant ' success of the
meeting and are especially pleased at the
proof that Englishmen are not deficient in
stamina. The Sportsman and Sporting Life
each devote nearly a page to a description
of the meeting.

At tbo close of the season Mr. Grau will

financially , marked a now era In the operatic
management In America.

HUGE ELEVATOR IS DESTROYED
Fire In Cupola Cnn e Two Terrific
Entailing ; Iionn of
One Million Dollars.
TOLEDO , 0. . July 23. The C. , H. & D.
elevator , located In East Toledo , was totally
destroyed by flro tonight and the less on
building and contents will reach nearly a
million dollars. It Is not known how much
Insurance is on the grain , amounting to
900,000 bushels of wheat , but the building
carries $185,000 in various companies.
The elevator has been unusually busy for
the last two weeks and was working night
and day to store the 150 cars of wheat which
are _ unloaded dally at the place. The fact
that this was Sunday prevented the fatal
ities which might have followed , for the
forty men employed there had quit work
early and had been out of the place about
two hours.
The watchman had once made the roui.ds
of the building and had found everything
safe , and was on his way to the top on
his second trip. He was not aware there was
a fire , but observers noticed a small blaze
in tbe cupola. An alarm was immediately
turned in , but before any of the depart
ments could reach the place a terrific ex
plosion occurred that rock * * ! the foundations ,
of surrounding buildings. A mass of flame
shot up In the air hundreds of feet. The
bulMIng was almost immediately enveloped
and within ten minutes another and more
terrific explosion occurred , which tore out
*
the entire side ot tlie building near the
river. This explosion hurled the - watchman
man , W. E. Welch , out of the flames and
saved his life. Ho was only slightly In
jured and will recover.
The enormous building was a miss of r ilns
half an hour after the first blaza was no
ticed. The worki of the Are department was
futile , most of their energies being directed
toward saving adjoining property.
The C. II. & D. elevator was largely owned
by eastern capital. Prcsldcn : Woo.'lford of
the Cincinnati , Hamilton Dayton road Is
president of the company. An elevator
owned by this company was binned 011 rlie
same nte ! four years ago and the present
building was built to bo ! he most com
plete and most perfa.-t In the country. If
was provided with every appliance to pre
vent spontaneous combustion and ton'i'hVs '
flro Is a great surprise to thoao who have
Inspected the place. The actual loss to the
company win be about STij.OOO , whllo tbe
grain -which Is on consignment will bo al
most a total loss to the shippers. Tbe fire i
department claims spontaneous coinbust'on
caused the blaze.

John Huber stlir lies nt the post hospital
at Fort Crook , but Jesse McCarty , the man
who shot him , Is still at large. Aicordlng
to the report of the surgeons In charge
Huber will pull through ll right , as the
wound Is not deemed to be serious. The
only trouble feared Is continued hot weather.
In case this ensues blood poisoning will
mostly likely result. Sheriff Sam Startzlcr ot
Sarpy county did the best ho could in huntIng -
Ing for McCarty and scoured the country
thoroughly. On his tour through the river
rands and woods the sheriff was accom
panied by a representative of The Bee and It
can truthfully bo said that every effort vas
made to capture McCarty.
The sheriff picked up the trail just out
of Fort Crook and run It to Bellevue. At
this point he. secured the help of W. U. Pat
rick , who assisted In following the trail
to the timber north of the depot. In the
thick woodH the trail was lost ind nn effort
was then mode to sec If McCarty had not
caiaped to Iowa by the boat which piles
across the river at Bollevue. It was Impos
sible to ascertain this and the sherlfl re
turned to Bellevue iml enlisted two trusty
men In his service to wa'jn Jim McCarty's
house and other polu's. At noon ycsteiday
Sheriff Startzler returnc'l to his home at
PapllHon to secure needed rest. A few
deputies are still on the hunt , but no vevy
active work Is being done. It Is thought
that If Huber recovers there will be no com
plaints filed and Jesse McC.ir'y will be al
lowed to return to his oil ImmUi unmo
lested.
It is almost impossible o tlnd any of the
McCartys when they want to get away , ns
they know the country In the neighborhood
of Bellevue * thoroughly. Several caves have
been found within the last few years , where
It Is thought the McCtrtyp hlrt In times
of troubi'e. When Vic McCarty was In the
county jail prior to his being sentenced to
twenty years In the penitentiary he stated
to Eli H. Doud. his attorney , that If he
could only get back to Bellevue ho would
defy the sheriff and all his deputies to find
him. Vic further asserted that he had three
months' provisions planted In a certain
place and could live this length of time
without showing his face. The sheriff and
others think Jesse Is aware ot his brother's

Hotly Lion In Stntc.
NEW YORK. July 23. The body of Rob
ert O. Ingorsoll lay on an Improvised blor
today In ttio bedroom In which ho died nt
the homo of Waleton H. Drown , his son-tu-
law. In Dobbs' ferry. Many men ot all sorts
and conditions , but mostly humble tellers ,
made the pilgrimage to Dobbs' ferry In the
hope that they might bo permitted to gaze
once more upon the noted agnostic. In no
Instance was the request refused. No ar
rangements whatever have yet been made
concerning the funeral. Mrs. Ingorsoll and
her daughters , Mrs. Drown and Miss Maude
Ingersoll , are still too much overcome with
sorrow to consider the matter.
"They cannot tear themselves , from the
beloved dead , " said Mr. Farrell tonight.
"They have not loft the chamber since he
passed away except to go Into an adjoining
room \\l\en visitors who wished to see him
called. They cannot reconcile themselves
to the Idea that they must port with him ,
nd all allusions to the removal of the
iKKfy" only cause distressing outbursts of
grief. It may bo a few days before they
are calm enough to discuss the steps thut
necessarily soon must be taken for the re
moval of the body. "
Mr. Farrell expressed the conviction that
the.Jjody will be cremated. If It Is not it
wlfl be burled In Sleepy Hollow cemetery at
Tarrytowii , where Washington Irving rests.
If any funeral exercises arc held it is ex
pected that John Clark Rldpath will deliver
the eulogy.
At tho. request oMho family Oc.orge Gray
Barnard , the sculptor , who was a warm per
sonal friend of tlie colonel , will visit the
house tomorrow and make a death mask.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll died a com
paratively poor man. There is , It is said ,
an Insurance of $106,000 on his life ; that is
all. Yet the great agnostic made from $50-
000 to $60,000 a year every year slnco the
war. But what ho did not spend on his
family he gave away.
Ho had a moderate account at the Bank
of Now Amsterdam , in this city. He owned
no real estate.
IiiKerrtoll Leave * No Will.
"I dpn't think the colonel left a will , "
said his brother-in-law and private secre
tary , C. P. Farrell , at the Dobb's Ferry
homo today. "If he did I don't know of It.
Colonel Ingorsoll died poor. Ho was a
great money earner , 'but ' a poor .money
saver. For years and years , perhaps thirty
years , his Income was immense. I can't
recall any lawyer who is his equal at earn
ing money. Others have made larger fees
at times , but no lawyer's fees that I know
of have run eo high In the general average.
"Ho has not left any estate worth speak
ing of. Others have had the benefit of all
that he earned In the law and In lecturing.
What ho did not spend on his loved ones ho
gave away to charity. "
Colonel Ingersoll know lie was 111 worse
than ho told a souK His physician , Dr. A.
.Alexander Smith , had told him that his
trouble , angina pcctorls , wight carry him
off at any moment. So ho made all the pro
vision ho could In the short time that was
left him.
'A ' check received at the office of the Equit
able Life Assurance society today proved
that. It must .havo been mailed the day be
fore from Dobb's Forry. It was dated ahead ,
and was for $156.49 , the amount of a pre
mium on a $5,000 policy duo August 1.

.Proof of It.
LINCOLN ! July 23 ( Special. )
fitfilon campaign managers are preparing to
revive the department of publicity that wai
maintained In the state house last year
for Jio exploitation of popocratlo theories
and mlsstatements and steps have already
been taken toward eecurlng the publication
In the fusion press of the state of an artlcla
eeeklng to show that the banking Institu
tions of Nebraska are In an unsound condi
tion. This Is but a repetition of the feeble
attempt made by the state olllclnls lost year
to cause a pnnlc while President MoKlnloy
was In the etato by hiring an Irresponsible
person to IB UO u circular from the capltol
'building ' calling attention to the fact that
while the demand liabilities of nil the banks
In the state at that tlmo was ? i > 3.095.7r > r > , the
cash on liund amounted to only $3,710.880.
This statement was so Idiotic In Its purpose
that It was laughed at by fuslonlsts all over
the state. The person who conceived this
popocratlo argument was employed by the
state house officials at a salary of $10 per
week and was furntohcd with an office In
the capltol building along with other con
veniences.
The same person , whcso name Is T. H.
Tibbies , Is again at work on the same kind
of unarticle , Intending to show that on ac
count of the decrease in the amount of cash
carried In the various banks they are In n
shaky condition and that
there la not aa
much money available In Nebraska at tha
present tlmo ns there was a year ago.
"Tho hanks of Nebraska are certainly to
bo congratulated that Uiey are enabled by
the restored confidence of the people and
their depositors to Invest the money placed
on deposit , " said the cashier of ono of the
Lincoln banks , In speaking of the cash on
hand In the banks as an Indication of the
prosperity of the state. "It Is of course
true that the banks In Nebraska do not
carry nearly so much money as they did
during the boom times , but the reason for
this must bo evident to every tiinklng man.
During the live years "beginning " In 1892 ,
when there was an almost incessant run on
the banks by suspicious depositors , It was
necessary to carry a largo amount of actual
cash on hand , but with the return of confi
dence came a change in the banking busi
ness and It was no longer necessary to over
load the vaults with currency , when there
was no demand for It.
Inerenne In IIaiilc Deponltn.
"There certainly Is no ibettor evidence of
the prosperity of „ the state than the
enormous Incrcaso in bank deposits. If
money deposited In a bank was kept In a
vault the bank would have no source of
revenue and the expenses of maintaining
It would Increase. The total cash and sight
exchange or the available cash that belongs
to Nebraska banks Is about flvo times
greater than during the panic times. This
money , or a largo portion of It , is on do-
poslt In eastern banks , drawing 2 per center
or more , and would .bo . returned Immediately
upon demand. The cnsh on hand Is , of
course , less In amount than two or three
years HEO , but the one direct cause for this
state of affairs Is the renewed confidence
of the whole people. "
The following Is a sample of the kind of
political arguments that were ground out
for the ofllclnl campaign committee by Tib
bies last year for the munificent salary of
110 per week :
The last report of the condition of the
403 banks , state and national , doing busi
ness In the state has caused a good many
to put on their thinking caps. It appears
that the banks nro owing den uid liabilities
to the amount of 153.095,755 and the total
cnsh In their possession only amounts to
$5,710,880. Hero IB a pretty state of affairs
$1 of money and $10 of wind. 'The ' limit of
eafo banking has always been considered
$1 of money to $1 of credit , but In these days
of sound money the banks are going It nix
bettor. That otatc.tient allows the fralf
foundation upon which all business rests
In this stato. A single breath would knock
the whole row of cards down. Rut ( Hipponn
wo only hnd a gold standard and only gold
was legal tender. Whiirn would wo be
then ? Instead of having $5,710,880 to pay
olT their Indebtedness of $53,095,753 , they
would have only $2,101,770 , or $1 of money
to $2fi of wind. Wind Is a pretty good thing
but If too much of U Is forced Into any re-
ceptiiclo It Is Hiiro to burst. If only ono-
tenth of the banks' creditors BhoulYI take
a notion that 'they Wanted their money the
whole 493 would go up the flume In fifteen
minutes , The tlmo for another panic In
close nt hand. This bank report shows that
the conditions which produce panlcn are al
ready here.
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant
says that ho doesn't care whether the In
surance commlHfilonor rides on a railroad
nnwi or not , 'but ' ho seriously objects to
charging up mlloago If the examiner In favored -
orod , as examiners have been. Mr , Bryant
will Insist on having all fees paid at the
ellen ( of tha Insurance commissioner and
will not permit the examiner to receive any
compensation at all from the companies ho
examines. The examination of Innuranco
companies will begin next month.
