Terrific Boiler Explosion In Now York City. Five persons wore killed and twelve injured in a boiler explosion ut 534 East Fourteenth street, New York. Tho greater ] art of the exploded boiler llew out of the building across tho street and crashed through the wall of a tenement. Tho house was demolished. A horse that was standing in the street was struck and instantly killed. Ambulance calls wont out to all the hospitals in the vicinity. There was groat excitement in the neighborhood. Tho building in which tho explosion occurred runs along the north side of East Fourteenth street, between Avenues A and B. At tho Avenue 15 corner it is four stories high and ono hundred feet further up breaks off and becomes a three-story structure. The engine and boiler were situated just where the three l story soct:on begins. Tho explosion camo w,th the quickness of thought and probably no one will ever know the exact cause. But few people were passing along Fourteenth Street at tho time. One horse car with a solitary passenger stood in front of the building. There was a mighty roar, a crashing of falling bricks and broken timbers. Like a shot the boiler was lifted oat of the stable and llew across the street. It struck the tenement directly opposite with a shock that shook the whole block. Windows were smashed everywhere in the vicinity. Screams from the scores of wounded rang out wildly. Women, with children in their arms, rushed in a frantic panic to tho street car and a cloud of dust and pieces of building material shot high into the air. It was not until several minutes had gone by before any one could realize what had happened. Fireman John J. Henry was passing up the street about a b.ock away. The shock lifted him from his feet. He turned, and seeing what had happened, sent out an alarm. Before the engines a second alarm was sounded and then came hurry calls for ambulances by the dozen. Men struggling with wounds that in some cases were fatal ran through the streets and dropped everywhere.

DYNAMITE. A Ship Loaded with the Deadly Stuff Catches Fire. A special from Santander, Spain, says: A terrible explosion occurred here in which perhaps hundreds of persons were killed. The shock was bo great that the residents in the furthest parts of the city thought an earthquake had occurred, and that the place was about to be destroyed. The ship Cabo Muchicaco, with a cargo of dynamite, was lying at a quay when, in some way not yet explained, she caught fire. A large crowd gathered in the vicinity, and the po l iee, who were evidently unaware o' tho dangerous character of the ship’s cargo, made no attempt to drive them away. The governor personally directed the efforts of the firemen to extinguish the flames, though he was fully aware of the danger he and the other fire-fighters were in. While every effort was being made to quench the flames there suddenly was heard a dull roar, followed by a report that shook the city to its foundations. Every house around the quay was wrecked, their walls being blown in as though made of cardboard. The loss of life can not yet be stated with any degree of accuracy. It is known that a great many persons were injured. The town was completely paralyzed by the disaster; and no attempt was subsequently majie to extinguish tfae fire that was communicated to adjacent quays by flaming brands thrown by the exploding dynamite. T iegrams have be n sent to Valencia. Burgos, and Valladolid asking that engines be sent on special trains to fight the fire. The horror of the disaster has rendered the people helpless. It is impossible to obtain a connected story from any one of the eye witnesses of the explosion.

THE WRATTEN FAMILY. Murder Stone Makes Another Confession. Washington >lnd.| special: It noi/ appears that Stone, who was brought from Jeffersonville the other night to appear before the grand jury, stated that Charles S. McCafferty, wnose wife is the heir to the Wratten estate, and Robert Swanegan are among his accomplices in the murder of the Wrattens. C. McCafferty was a eon-in-law of old Mrs. Wratten and has been suspected sometime. but as there was no evidence against him he was never arrested. Swanegan lives on the adjoining farm to the Wrattens and formerly kept the City Hotel. Nothing is known against him. This makes (right men Stone, in three different confessions, accused of complicity in this murder. When Stone left in charge of Sheriff Leming to be returned to Jeffersonville, people here had just learned of his presence and about the time the train pulled out crowds could be seen coming from all directions. Stone seemed anxious that the train should start and it was with a stgh of relief that the outskirts of the city were reached. He did not want to be brought here, as he very much feared the peoole's vengeance.
