Tliouli tlie. 1 iiist i gtis in the Cars lie liiiid L1 Jsoi Utur llie Iteport of 1lie Explosion. . j f Chicago, j.larcli 22.-!-The boiler cf tin . locomotive which was hauling the .Chi cago and Boston spceia.1 on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad blew up yesterday, instantly killing-1 the engineer and fireman and complete- ! ly demolishing the engine. The cie.id I are: Alexander Franks, ; engineer, of Chicago. The engineer was huried 200-v- feet into the air through a network tf ' telegraph v.ires that were stretched along the tracks and had his right leg torn off. The fireman was thrown ; against a cattle car and nearly every bone in his body broken. None of the remainder of the train crew nor any of the passengers were injured. The train to- which the engine 'was attached is cne cf the fastest on the Lake Shore road. The accident occur red as the train had just pulled out from the Englewocd depot, and was running :at the rate cf. 20 miles an hour. -A peculiar feature of the-, explosion was the fact 'that -although the report -was so-loud it yr&n heard by 'resident.? a half mile ,av.ar, ' and the force -se great that 'the cr.sirie Was literally ' blown to atoms, hone of the passengers in the rearart cf the train heard the . .-.report, .'land were, not a '.rare that any thing unusual had happened .'until they .' looked out cfter the train had 'come ; to a. sudden . ssoiv Th3 train dashed along about. 1Z.Q f;?t after the. explos ion tool; j lace, s.r.d '-although, the stop v.-as quito pudrlen" none' of the .pas F rig-era v.-ere tkrov.n' fro-pi their seat-, and' - not one f the coaches was dam?god by either the explosion or the suddc-n ' . stop. " . " ' . Parts of the engine yere thrown into the air a hundred feet, and hug3 pieces of the boiler weighing: .several tons were tossed' over the telegraph wires: into a swarrp. a distance of . 250 feet, while' the baggage car, directly behind the engine, was' net damag?d in any way. ' It is not known just what caused the explosion, and the ofSe'tels of the road -Say that it will not be determined un til what remains- of the engine is taken apart 'and examined. It was thought at first that there was .o water in the - boiler, but this theory was abandoned, as it was an cut-reins: train and the , engine had rjust- been' taken from the roundhouse a short time before the explosion. It was rumored that the boiler of the engine was defective, in some respects, but this was denied by the officials 'of the road. ' Fatal Wreck on Iie JJ. and O. Cumberland, Md., Llarch 22.-An east bound passenger train .on the -Baltimore and Ohio railroad, known- as No. 2 limited, met '' with .an accident two miles' west cf.Oahland, in which .one passenger, General J. S. Fullerton, a St. Louis capitalist, was killed and sev- .eral others more or less badly injured. Four cars rolled down an embankment into the Touhiogheny river, and Gen eral Fiillerton was carried down in the wreck, and his body floated away with . the tide. THE BLOCKADE OF CRETE. Insurgents May Prevent I he fJreeli Troops from Leaving the Island. - Canea, Uarch 22. The situation in Crete may be described as one of ex pectancy. Yesterday morning the fact that . the blockade had formally begun was generally communicated from Canea to all points in the island in the telegraphic circuit. Pillaging still con tinues. Three Turkish soldiers who. .were caught in the act of pillaging Saturday night at Halepa fired on the gendarmes, who returned the fire, kill ing one of them. A strong gale is blowing across the Aegan sea, which will make the block ading exceedingly .difficult. It is re ported that the admirals purposely re frained from interfering with vessels which recently landed provisions in Crete, one having discharged its cargo at Akrotiri almcst under the eyes of the admirals. : The necessity of removing the Turk-, ish troops from the island becomes more and mere inipsr'.ittive. Nothing else will convince the Cretans of Europe's- sincerity.' It may be regarded as certain that they will even prevent the departure of the Greek army by force until the Turks have gone, There is no time to be lost. It is impossible that Greece and Turkey could long .support the armies they have mobil ized. Either may prefer provoking a struggle to seeing its troops starve. The sultan should be induced to make a voluntary recall of his troops. Greece might then be willing to recall Colonel Vassos. . ' v Pinjjree Will Retain the Governorship. Detroit, iMareh 22. Governor Pingree will not resign the governorship, and will not be a candidate for mayor of Detroit at the special election April 5. The governor wanted to vindicate him self as against the supreme court de cision in ousting him by permitting the Republicans to nominate him for may or, believing he would be triumphantly re-elected. Most of his advisers, how ever, insisted that, it was his first duty to remain governor. Tie fac simile I Statute Cf is OS every ; rappex. Why Kentucky's Governor Refused to Save Murderers. Newport, Ky., Mar-h 20,--rSkeri:f Plummer, with one deputy and the f our guards . of Jachscn and Walling, left Alexandria yesterday a short time be fore non' to make the journey to the Newport "jail. ' : where the men were hanged today. Jackson and Walling were each handcuffed to a guard. Shortly before reaching the road lead ing to lort Thomas Jackson pointed to thai road, saying: -There is where we turned ' off;!'. . As they passed the Locke farm the y saw Farmer Locke and seme members, of his -family' standing at th.3 spot where Pearl Bryan's body was found. Sheriff Plummer. ashed Jaekscn if he recognized the place. Jaclison looked around coolly and an swered: ''I do not recognize the spot." The text of Governor Bradley's finai refusal to interfere in the case was given cut last night. The friends of Dr. Wagner, who is now confined in a lunatic asylum, were among these who asked !or a respite,, in order to give them an opportunity to prove that the doctor had ho; knowledge of the crime. Governor ; Bradley's' statement, is in subs' ance as follows: "The common law concerning the crime admitted in the confessions to have been committed is in force in this sta'e. The confessions show that Pearl Bryan was killed by drugs ad minis tered to her to perform an abor tion. If this be true the child was killed also. ''The confessions, however, are in consistent and contradictory, utterly at war with every statement that each of them made on the witness stand. It is urged that this should be overlooked because they were then swearing fo'r their lives. If they- are excusable for swearing falsely- then how mueh mere are they excusable , ar.d - how much mcre'likely is it that they would' speak fa'.rsly now. : "There men have r.et cnly trifled 'with -human life, but have trilled. with the ' courts, trilled with the execution, and set at denance the laws of God and man. If it be established that one criminal, after such conduct as t this, can- by a mere pretended confession qbtain.' a respite, then every other is entit-ed to like treatment, and this would result in frustrating justice and bringing the execution cf the laws into, contempt. The wounded hana of Peer' ' Bryan .solemnly,. .and" surely points to. the fact thrt. she was net deal when beheaded.- That .wound could have been mulcted only when, during the terrible agony of her decapitation. , she. r.aised it in order to ward off the cruel knife. '"Dr.' W.egner is in the asylum, and is the men of all ethers." by reason -of .his condition, - at whose door the. de fendants would most naturally lay this terrible' ciirhe..- 'T-o-crant a respite in order that ..jthe defendants might" be used as witnesses to procure his . con viction would result in a delay of at least a year. In view "of. the various conflicts in defendants' statements no jury would or could believe any state ment that either of them might make, and conseQuently Wagner vou!d net be convicted. Such delay could result in no good and would only add fuel 'to the liames -and furnish a further in centive to mob violence in this state. .'The claim that Yv'alling was under -.tile influence cf Jackson, and there fore should have clemency, cannot be considered. He. sho-vved himself the willing ar.d ready assistant. Each of them have exhibited a reckless disre gard' for human life. Their confessions, taken in connection with the facts and circumstances proven in the case, show that they committed an ' atrocious crime. Life is preciCiis .to them, but no more so than it was to their victim. Their pcor mothers are entitled to sympathy, but no more than the mother of Pearl Bryan. "The law has been set at defiance and the fair name Of Kentucky stained with another bloody murder. Twelve men have passed upon the guilt of each. The circuit judge and appelate judges have affirmed their actions. My oath is that "I will see that the laws are faithfully executed." The jury fixed the penalty. I have a plain duty to perform. It is not my province to make laws, but to enforce them; neith er is it my province to fix the death penalty, nor is it proper that I should intervene to prevent its infliction when the law and the evidence authorize it.'" Fitzslniinons Defeats Corbett. Carson, New, March JrS. Under a clear sky and in a valley 5,00p feet above the sea, circled by snoAV tipped mountains, James J. Corbett went down to defeat yesterday before Rob ert Fitzsimmons, who thus became the champion heavyweight pugilist of the world. The victory was not gained without a struggle. In fact, victory lid not seem possible for. Fitzsimmons until the last moment of the battle. He was giving every indication of slowly going to -pieces when he delivered a blow in a vital part, and followed it with two others which sent the Cali- fornian to the floor with the agony of pain and despair .imprinted on his face, and lie was: unable to rise within the limit which- would save him. & WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED , Taeda.j, March .10.

' ' ' ' ID The Jlan or Woman who, has bcueht mm Savac-e people have a superstition that an evil eye may be cast upon a person to bring all sorts 01. trouble and rais fdrtune. That seems like, a pretty foolish notion ; but it isn't much worse than some of the notions which, civilized , people indulge in One .worn out su- hef that if a man inherits weak lungs from his parents he is pretty sure to die of con sumption. The actual. fact is that if such a man will only take proper care of himseh tie will really be safer, from consumption than a careless person who has no inherited weakness. Carelessness is the real evil eye. Carelessness will develop a tendency tc consumption in any body. ' The lungs are composed of verv delicate, sensitive tissue, even in the healthiest per son; that is why they yield sq quickly to the attack of tainted blood. If the blood is al lowed to get impure arid impoverished, and bile-poisoned, the seeds of consurriptiori will spring up in the best kind of a consti tution ; The real consumption-taint is in the blood. Hundreds of cases of so-called " heredi tary " consumption have been completely and permanently rooted, out of the system by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medickl Discovery, simply because it gives the. blood-making glands power to pour a fresh abundant sup ply of rich, red, healthy, blood into the circulation. This drives out all poisonous and unhealthy germs. , It stops the waste of tissue and the formation of morbid deposits builds up fresh, normal, healthy lung tissue' and soljfl, muscular strength.
