Frightful Result of a Dynamite Explosion in Milwaukee.

AX AWPlTTi BLAST.

MIMVAUKKR, L)EC. 81.—A DYNAIAITO explosion of terrific violence occurrod Wednesday morning at tlie Scliooninaker .stone quarry neur Wanwatosa, killing- two men and seriously injuring a third. The men killed were William Waller, 50 years of age and married, and Albert Walter, an unmarried man 24 years old. 'J heir bodies were literally blown to atoms, and the few fragments that the (juarry men found were placed in a basket. A laborer named Julin Rogaisb.y was quite badly hurt, but it is thought tliat he will recover.

Fnrco of tlio KxploHlon.

The explosion occurred at 7:25 o'clock and was so vioient that the shock was felt at Kacinc, 35 miles south of this city. The men were preparing a blast that was to have been fired at noon, and were thawing out the "foreite." of which there was 000 pounds. No one knows how the explosion occurred. There was a terrific report, and when the smoke cleared away both the Walters had disappeared. They had thawed out 150 pounds of the dynamite and that exploded, but the nnthawed boxes did not explode. Down below the ledge, and not more than 50 feet away, eighteen men were, at work, but not one of them was hurt On the spot where the men had stood a great hole was torn in the rocky ledge. The portable engine was blown some distance, and one end of it was shattered completely, while a wagon that also stood on the ledge was scattered all over the neighborhood. A large water tank was served in the same fashion, and a piece of the tank struck John Uogalsky, who was working a little further up the bank that slopes down into the quarry.

The enormous foree of the explosion is shown by the fact that a fragment of one of the men's heads was found at a distance of fully 1,000 feet across the railroad tracks. Except some shreds of clothing and a glove there was nothing that could be identified as having belonged to either man.

I'sirelcMriiioAn the Cause.

The explosion was the subject of much conversation among the officials at the courthouse. City Engineer Benf.enberg said that men get very careless in handling explosives. At the blasting of the new intake tunnel he found the men growing so careless that he made the contractors discharge the head of one of the gangs, lie found them thawing out dynamite near the boilers. They were apt to allow the explosive to lie around loose. In tossing a hammer into a corner in a shed one day the hammer landed within :j inches of a stick of dynamite.

SNOWBOUND?

Trtiliw Itlorkuilfd In Now Mexlco-Grent Sultt-rliie III the Moimlitliia. Ai.nn,U'i:i!tjr!-. X. M., Dec. U.—Both the Santa I'e ai.d Atlantic «fc Pacific roads are troubled with serious snow blockades. No ea-stern mails have been received here over the Santa I'e for four days. The passenger trains are ill the blockade in the lfatonmountains and in tlie level stretch of country in the vicinity of Springer. Advices received here, are to the effect that as fast as the snow is shoveled off the track it would soon again be covered to a greater depth by the drifting of the snow. It is also learned that a number of engines are off the track in the blockade. The snow blockade on the Atlantic & Pacific is between Grant's and Chaves, about 100 miles west of the city. The snowstorms in the mountains are reported to be something unheard of for several years, and stories of great suffering among fllie villages in th« mountains are in circulation. __

MORE RECIPROCITY.

••croUrr HIHIU SIRIII Treatlca with Cut teuiala nnd Salvador. WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.—Guatemala and Salvador havo joined the reciprocity procession. The agreements were signed by Secretary Blaine Tuesday. The Salvador arrangement will becomo operative without delay, but the senate of Guatemala has to ratify the treaty with that country. There is no question that this will be done. Both these Central American republics are largo producers of coffee and the need of a free market in the United States has induced them to take advantage of the reciprocity clause in the MeKinley bill and make some concessions on imports from America, though they cannot afford to give up much of their income from revenue duties. The concessions will be chiefly on lumber and agricultural products. There is a largo and growing lumber trade on the Pacific coast which will be benefited by the arrangement. The agreements with Guatemala, and Salvador have a political as well as a commercial significance. They bring the Central American countries closer than ever to the United States. Costa Rica hopes soon to overcome the obstacles in the payment of the interest on its national debt which has prevented it ratifyiug a reciprocity agreement with the United States. Nicaragua is slower, but in due time will come in.

SUED THE POLICE.

Tlioinna Greir, or Chicago, Seek* laii. nee* Tor tlio ltocent Anarchist Raid. CHICAGO, Dec. 81.—Thomas Greif has finally carried out his threat by suing ('apt. .lohn E. Mahoney and Inspector Lyman II. Lewis in the circuit court Wednesday for 825,000 damages in an action for trespass. Mr. Salomon appears us the attorney for Greif. The suit is based on the raid the police made on Greif's hall on Lake streetin searching for anarchists. In the excitement doors were forcibly opened and flags and other property destroyed. Superintendent of Police McClaugliry has recently paid for the damage done 1 his officers, but this evidently does not satisfy the proprietor of tlie hall. Mr. Greif takes the legal position that the police interference was malicious and without warrant. He claims that they not alone entered tlie place without authority, but that the trespass resulted in the death of his daughter, who was lying in bed seriously ill at the time.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.—Representative Cliipman (Mich.) will bring before congress a bill to provide for the construction of a ship can il around the American side of Niagara falls, and also of a similar waterway across the state of New York, from a point near Buffalo, to the Hudson river, so that vessels from the lakes may have free access to tidewater. The projected canal is to be 150 feet wide, with an average depth of 20 feet, and will cost from S80,000.000 to 550,000,000. Mr. Cliipman thinks snoh a canal would soon pay for itself.

KII.1.KI1 TIIKIH LKADEH.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 81.—News was received here late Tuesday night that Gen. Garcia, in command of the troops in the field in the northern zone of Mexico, with headquarters at Mier. had been murdered by his command and that the entire foree, numbering several hundred men, under his immediate command, had gone over to the side of the revolutionists, crossing over into Texas in a body at a point between Ho mil ami C'arrizo. The news of the killing of Garcia has been confirmed.

A Itlnw lit t!iu fovcrntnent. Gen. Garcia was one of the most prominent and efficient officers in the Mexican army, and his death at the present time is a serious blow to the government. The private soldiers in the Mexican army are nearly all convicted criminals who, instead of being given a term in prison, are sentenced to serve with the military. They are desperate, characters tind are nearly all secret sympathizers with the revolutionary movement.

I*ut to l)o tli by Garza.

LAKKUO, Tex., Dec. *11.—The report comes to this city that Garza Wednesday afternoon captured a detachment of forty-five Mexican troops with their arms and equipments. The officers, fcur in number, were promptly shot, and the men were given the chance to go free without arms or to join the revolutionary forces. They chose the latter. No official news lias been received of the occurrence. lint, if Garza had 130 men together, as was acknowledged by the official telegrams a few days since, he might easily capture forty regulars.

A Kittle Imminent.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. Dec. 31.—A batr tie will probably be fought on Texas soil within twenty-four hours between a handful of United States troops on cine side and a vastly superior force of Garza's revolutionists on the other. A dispatch received Wednesday morning by Gen. David S. Stanley from William II. Wheeler, who is temporarily in command at Fort Ringgold during the absence of Capl. John G. Bourke, who is in the field, contains the startling statement that Capt. liourke, who is 78 miles from Fort Ringgold, has jnst sent word to the post by a courier that ('apt Garza has united 250 of his men 12 miles north of the Lopena ranch, and the revolutionist leader and his followers are desperate, and will fight

Strength of tlio American Force. The dispatch states diat Capt Francis II. llardie has thirty men in his command, and Captain Brooks of the state rangers, a force of thirteen men. First Lieut. William D. Batch will join Capt. Bourke with a troop of thirty-four men at Pcneno, anil an effort was also made to get word to Troop (1, which should be at larrizo with forty men. Second Lieut. George T. Langhorne, who has twenty-six men with liiin, is also ordered to proceed at once to join Capt. Bourke. Gen. Stanley stated that he thought a fight would ensue wiih!n the next twenty-fonr hour.- between the United States troops and the revolutionists. 0I«IH in Ciir/.it'K t'Hvor.

The Garza men in the section around Fort llinggol.d outnumber the United States troops five to one, and are in a country friendly to the revolutionists. The United States troops are nv.icli superior to the Garza men in discipline, but the latter are well armed and it is feared the result of an engagement would be disastrous to the Americans. The telegraph wires between Fort Ringgold and Brownsville gave out Wednesday and no more official information was received here concerning the situation. The nearest available telegraph station to Capt liourke's forces is Laredo, a distance of 130 miles.

An interview with a United States marshal just in from the field of Garza's operations shows there is certainly a large force with Garza, and that in one of Garza's detachments which Capt llardie followed there were not less than 300 men. At the camp where they had taken a single meal were found the remains of eight beeves which had been slaughtered also thirty-one cainpfires. The trails bore proofs of a company of several hundred men.

Keren! Skirmishes.

LA ITKno. Tex.. Dec. 31.—News has just been received of a rccent skirmish between Z-.t'-vm troops and the bandits. A h...ig of bandits numbering ninetycrossed the Rio Grande into Mexico and the same day had an encounter at Las Tortillas with a body of troops at that time supposed to be composed of twenty-live men, but it was afterward found there were only thirteen, the other twelve being out on a scout. The troops routed the bandits, killing three and wounding a number, while they sustained a loss of two dead and three wounded. The following -morning one of the detachments which were in pursuit of the bandits attacked them at Klvagre, leagues distant from Vallecillo, and during the short fight that occurred succeeded in killing one of the bandits and capturing two carbines and four horses. Tuesday night the gang was being closely pursued by four sections of troops, and despite the effort to cut them oil' from the river tliey succeeded in crossing the Rio Grande, near Lo« Lajcdas, into Texas.

Wis., November 1*2 and the Adams express car at Glcndale. a suburb of St. Louis, on the night of November 30. was arrested at Los Angeles, Cal., last Saturday by Robert A. l'inlcerton. The woman who lias been connected with the robbery, Florence U. Waterman, was taken into custody at Oakland, Cal.. by Charles Wappenstein of the I'inkerton agency. lie

I'HL'II

llyimmite.

In all of the robberies with which Sly is supposed to have been connected a large, quantity of dynamite has been used. The first of the recent series was committed in October last at the sireet-ear barns in Omaha. Neb. The building was badly wrecked by the explosion! and a large amount of money secured. Then followed the destruction of the Metropolitan street-ear barns in Kansas City. The gang then returned to Omaha, when the I'acific Express Company's ear was robbed on the I'acific railroad 011 November 4, which was followed by the pillago of the American express car near Western Union Junction, near Chicago, on November 12.

On Ilia Trull.

W. A. I'inkerlon learned that Sly was connected with these robberies and quietly went to work to discover his whereabouts. He succeeded in tracing him to St. Louis a few days previous to the Glendaleaffair. Immediately after that the detectives joined hands with the St Louis police in the search for Sly, and Frank Murruy of the Chicago agency was detailed to work in conjunction with Chief Ilarrigan of the St. Louis force.

Traced l»y a Trunk.

A few day after the robbery the latter discovered through a furniture dealer, who sold goods on the instalment plan, that, four men and a woman had rented and furnished a house 011 Swan avenue, not far from the place the Adams express car was robbed. Upon investigation it was learned that the quintet had left the place three days after the Glendale affair. Their baggage was traced to the depot, and from the check numbers it was ascertained that they were all bound for the west Accurate descriptions were secured and Sly's identity was fixed beyond a question.

Sly'a Arrciit.

It was learned that Sly left the party at Omaha and went to California. The officers traced him to Los Angeles. Mr. i'inkerton kept watch on the post oflice and on Saturday last was rewarded by seeing his man come in and ask for his mail. When asked by the detective what his name was he replied without hesitation A. S. Denton. As his name is Adelbert Denton Sly, this answer settled all doubt and he was placed under arrest When searched &J.00J, a lot of personal property and the gold watch taken from Messenger Mulrennun, of the Adams Express Company, who was badly injured by the explosion of dynamite, were found on his person. Sly tried to throw the watch away, it is said, but was prevented by the officers. His arrest was kept secret in hopes of obtaining some clew to the location of the rest of the gang.

The Woman In tlio Cnte.

The woman was arrested near the Wclls-Fargo Express Company's office at Oakland, Cal It was learned that a trunk had been shipped to Marion Wcdpetli, who is supposed to be the wife of one of tlio gang, but it was addressed to Florence Waterman. It was seized and Tuesday the woman came to inquire about it She left the office and gave the officers a lively chase in a heavy rainstorm. She was put through a process of questioning by Capt Lees, of Oakland, but could not be made to give any information concerning the rest of the robbers.

Wringing Them Buck.

Sly was persuaded by the officers that it would be better for him to go back to Missouri without a fight He left Los Angeles Sunday evening in charge of It. A. I'inkerton and Detective Whitakcr. The woman will be brought to St, Louis as soon as Detective Tracy can reach her with the requisition. While the rest of the gang are still at large, the detectives say it is but the matter of a short time before their identity will be discovered.

Sly'i llecortl.

Adelbert D. Sly. who is better known as "Bert" Sly, is a native of Wisconsin, having been born and raised near Oshkosli. After committing an express robbery in St Joe, where his wife and three children ROW reside, he was sentenced in 1884 to the penitentiary at Jefferson City, Mo., for a term of seven years. On his release he associated himself with a gang of burglars with headquarters around Kansas City. According to W. A. I'inkerton he was concerned in several burglaries and railway robberies
