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.

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. Moh * Are Antlr Kcurly. 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 , , U VTM returned to the barn. The police < afterward charged the mob , making several The tmrd at the Holmdcn Side , was an noyed utrs Wl'CyMrt of the day by a jeering rmmii ' . dispersed with tbn llonllre IllocTrnck. . 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.

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. Situation Scrlonn nt Kvntmvllle. EVANSVILLE , Ind. , July 23.

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. CLOSE OF THE GRAND OPERA Third nml Mont SiicreHHful Sennon I'nfler ' Maurice Crnu IN Con- eliuled in London.

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.

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 hiding places and has taken advantage of this knowledge. The pursuit Is considered to be useless work ana It Is likely that It wllf soon bo abandoned.

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.

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.
