Many are dead and the city of Giant, is burning, as the result of a terrific explosion in one of the huge powder mills there. Giant, which is situated across the bay, appears to be nearly destroyed. So terrific was the explosion that the ground shook fot miles about. People thought an earthquake had occurred and were thrown into a panic. In a canning factory, five miles away from the explosion, workmen made a wild dash for exits down narrow stairways.

Men, women and children fought in a stampede to escape and the weaker went down. Seven, at least, were fatally hurt and nearly a hundred injured. R. A. Boice, formerly assistant pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, and Miss Sarah Kindred Williams, until recently solo contralto of the choir of that church, were married three weeks ago in (New York City.

The-wedding was performed August 3 by Dr. Parkhurst, and the bridal couple immediately started on a honeymoon which included a two weeks' visit to the bride's home in Norfolk, where they managed to keep the fact of the wedding almost entirely secret. Leaving Mr. Boice and his bride returned to New York, they are at present. Their nuptials furnish the latest chapter in a story of love, infatuation and jealousy that caused a tremendous sensation in the ultra conservative congregation of the First Presbyterian Church three years ago, and which developed sensational phases in quick succession sufficient to form the plot of a society drama.

The romance consisted of the infatuation of a minister of the gospel for a handsome member of the choir; his persistent wooing of the Southern beauty his separation from his wife, who was a charming Pittsburg girl his final resignation from his ministerial duties; the wreck of his home in the divorce court, and his return to a business life. The unusual conduct of their assistant This stampede was typical of other scenes of terror. In Giant itself, it is thought that scores, at least must be dead, the powder factory that was blown up being one of the largest in the world. The powder factories are substantial buildings, but were shattered by the force of the explosion. Already a rescue force is being made up to go to the assistance of the stricken town.

Young Declares He Is the Man to Whm James Shumaker Made the Sensational Statement SURPRISED THAT A DENIAL WAS MADE Emphatically Repeats Tkat Ex-State Official Said He Would Tell Where Capital Graft Went Johnstown, August 24. James T. Young, who is a.

well-known commercial traveler and a local politician, arrived here last evening and went directly to the residence of James Shumaker, former superintendent of public buildings and grounds in Harris-burg, and assumed all responsibility tor the story flrsx sent out from this city, to the effect that Mr. Shumaker would go on the witness stand and tell where the; graft went in the Capitol trimmings case. Mr. Young is the close personal and political friend referred to as having got a statement from Shumaker and declared again, after he came from Shumaker's the story first sent out was substantially correct, the only part of it which he denied being that he said directly that Mr. Shumaker would turn State's evidence.

When Mr. Young first told the story to a newspaper man it was suggested that Shumaker should turn State's evidence and in reply to this Young declared Shumaker would tell the whole story, regardless of whom it might hit; that if it would hit a "man higher up" Shumaker would not hesitate to tell the whole truth. Said Mr. Young: "I was astounded when I saw the denials being made and I could not stop until I saw Mr. Shumaker and told him frankly that I alone was responsible for the story first sent out.

It is substantially Mr. Young was deputy sheriff under Shumaker and was the latter's first secretary In the office of public buildings and grounds at Harrisburg. LOSES $1,000 ON P. R. R.

August 24. Thirteen persons were bitten by a mad dog at the foot of West Twenty-second street. Coney Island, at noon today, and hundreds of others were in danger when the animal was shot and killed by a policeman. The dog was a small fox terrier owner by Benjamin Davis, a tailor, who is staying at Murick's Hotel, at the foot of West Twenty-third street. It showed indications of madness yesterday when it killed a cat and then tried to bite two boys.

At noon today the dog suddenly began to run along the beach, where hundreds of men, women and children were bathing or preparing to go Into the water. Davis, wife of the owner of the dog, was the first to be attacked. She was trying to quiet the animal when it sprang at her and tore her left leg. William Powell, who is also staying at the hotel and was near Mrs. Davis, ran to her rescue and was also bitten in the leg.

A cry of. "mad dog" went up and there was a panic on the beach. The bathers ran in all directions, and this seemed to further excite the dog, which ran among the frightened people, snapping right and left. TWO MAY DIE OF INJURIES An Air Compressor Exploded Hurling Armor Plate in the Air By United Press. Norfolk.

August 24. Little hope is entertained tonight for the recovery of two of the three men injured today in the explosion of an air compressor used in expelling torpedoes in the power house of the Norfolk navy yard. The men were at first thought to have escaped serious injury but tonight there was a sudden change for the worse and their lives are despaired of. The other man is expected to recover. The accident occurred while ordnance officers were testing the air compressor, four of the eight cranks blowing out with terrific force.

A heavy sheet of armor plate placed as a protection in case of accident was blown loO feet and one of the cranks went straight up clipping off the eaves of the power plant and breaking every window in the building.

The governor summed up his views in part: "Let their be no vague fears about the outcome. I place full confidence in the American people. I have profound belief in their ability to cure existing evils without disturbing their prosperity. I am convinced that we shall have more and more intelligent and unselfish representation of the people's interests, that political leadership will be tested more and more by the soundness of its counsel and the disinterestedness of its ambition.

"'Western Pennsylvania Fair and sllghtlj-wamtr Sandty; Monday fair.

But through it all, although shaken to its very base, the congregation endeavored to cloak the i affair in secrecy. In this they were greatly aided by the attitude of Mrs. Boice, who remained mute on the subject after fleeing for consolaUon and seclusion to her parents' home.

The ardent minister had lost no time in lea-ing Pittsburg for one of the eastern cities, and not long afterwards Miss Williams also left the city, going to New York to accept a fine engagement in a large New York church. Under these circumstances it was not long until the local congregation began to breathe freely again. So sure were they that everything was all right that after being absent a year. Miss Williams was allowed to come back to her old position as contralto soloisc, where she remained until the end of the season last May.

He was born in New Athens, and attended Franklin College, an institution located at that place He later came to Pittsburg, and is said to have felt Impelled to study for the ministry, and was entered at the Western Theological Seminary.

as he was almost completely destitute of funds and had made no provision for the support of his family while he was completing his studies. WIFE HELPED HIM IN SEMINART. While admitting that she did not feel fitted by nature or disposition to be a pastor's wife, Mrs. Boice yielded her preference and not only consented to his abrupt change of life, but paid all his expenses and supported the family on her own money while he was studying. It is said that his only contributions to the support of his family at that time was an occasional $10, -which he received on the rare times he was called upon to fill a pulpit.

Only the timely Intervention of President Roosevelt In giving Elihu Root, secretary of state Imperative orders to go to Mul-doon's sanitarium at "White Plains at once and remain there until cured, it is reported today, saved Mr. Root from mental and physical break down and retirement from the cabinet. It was first believed that the action had been taken too late and that despite all efforts Mr. Root would have to give up diplomatic service, but his condition is now so greatly improved that Muldoon says he could leave the place today and be in far better condition than he has been in many years.

The secretary, however, is still vigorously pursuing the program mapped out for him. Secretary Root' is now -64- years old. His health for the last four years has several times threatened to force him to retire from -the cabinet. Early in August he visited President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill and the chief executive, seeing his condition, ordered him to give up all cares and worries' of the secretaryship. He was told to obey orders and within twenty-four hours wag added to the Muldoon patients.

i I I I i i I MR. TAFT IS CRITICISED BY JUSTICE Thinks Secretary's Declara tion On Negro Question Is -i Doubtful Interpretation By the Nfw York. Herald wt Service. (Copyright, 190T. by the New York Herald Co.) Richmond, August 24.

Judge William H. Cardwell, president of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, in an interview this morning made the follow ing statement concerning the declaration of Secretary Taft that the South is being kept out of the councils of the Nation on account of the attituue of the South toward the negro: "The declaration of Mr. Taft is most remarkable and is of quite doubtful interpretation. It means either that the South has been kept out of the councils of tha Nation owing to the attitude of the South towards the negro, or that the attitude of the Souh has been misinterpreted by the voters of the North, owing to the fact that they did not understand the negro question, but who now seem to be gaining this understanding, for Mr. Taft himself states that the attitude of the South toward -the negro and the Youth's dis-franchisemen provisions are both wiso and proper.

"As to the negro being a necessity to the South, Mr. Taft himself takes tha view that the negro has been and now is a burden to the South, a view which is absolutely correct."

The members of Allegheny Lodge, No.

339, B. P. O. Elks, who have won laurels as entertainers, have decided to hold a clam bake and outing at Keystone park, adjacent to Elfinwtld station, on the Pittsburg Western railroad. The date selected is September 5 and with characteristic energy the Elks have arranged for attractions that will make the park a center of interest on that date for Elks and their friends.

John K. Tener, of Charleroi, who was elected grand exalted ruler of the order at the convention in Philadelphia this year, will be present. Although the program does not call foe a speech from him it is altogether likely that he will not be allowed to get away from the park without making an address. It is quite possible, however, that he will shine more in another role than as an orator. There was a time when Mr.

Tener was one of the great baseball pitchers of the country and the announcement is made by the committee that he will pitch for a team of married men that will be matched against the single men in a game.
