WILL OBEY UNCLE JOE WATSON TO DECIDE FATE OF SUBSIDY BILL. It May Never be Reported as Cannon Is Against the Measure How i Others Voted. Washington, February 15. Rep resentative Watson of Indiana, may be able to say. whether or not ' the ship subsidy bill, which passed , he Senate yesterday, shall be reported by the House committee on merchant marine and ,' fisheries. Not counting Watson the committee appears to be evenly divided on the bill. It is pretty well understood that Watson will not vote to report the bill. Speaker ,' Cannon is still determined that the measure shall not go through the House, and Mr. Watson may be relied on to represent the Speaker in the committee. It is doubtful whether the bill could get through the House from all quarters subsequently, and if the committee should report it favorably. Senator Henenway voted for the bill in the Senate last evening. Senator Beveridge, being paired, did not vote.

He has' been in the " harness" longer than any other city official and his record has been excellent in every respect.' 1 In 18S6 Mr. Parsons succeeded William L. Thomas as chief of the fire department and was continued as chief '.by .'every mayor that has lieen in office from that, time up to he present year. During his many years of service Mr. Parsons has received many v injuries while fighting fires but none of them were of a serious nature. ' ; ' '. . Edward Miller, assitant chief, who will act as fire chief, is another veteran of the department. He began his duties as a fire fighter in 1889 when he was enrolled as a "minute man" which obliged him to respond to every call of fire with the enumeration of $8 a month for his services. Later Miller became a regular member of the department and or the past three years he has served as assistant' chief. His service record is an excellent one.

A mistake on the part of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company came near causing a serious hitch in the honeymoon of Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth, who are to start Saturday on their wedding journey in the palace car, " Republic. " Yesterday afternoon, this beautiful car, just out of the Pullman shops passed through here attached to Pennsylvania train No. 7, enroute to Indianapolis. On board the car was a funeral party, from an eastern city, on its way to Indianapolis, and in some manner, the " Republic' ' had been turned over for this purpose, in placeof cars which are generally used. ; . The mistake was not discovered until the car had made nearly half the journey, and it was too late to turn back, so it ; proceeded to Indianapolis, and was rushed back east on the first limited train. - Along the line of the Pennsylvania road, the "Republic" attracted a great deal of attention and - many guesses were, made as to why the car was being sent west just on the eve if . the . wedding. , Jn.

A Special Session of the Legis lature if He Wishes. (Palladium Special.) Indianapolis, Ind., February 15. Chairman James P. Goodrich, of the Republican State Central Committee, and a number of other ; politicians, met with Secretary of State Storms and his attorney tonight and spent several hours in a vain effort to get him to resign. The whole ground of the controversy between, him and Governor Hanly was gone over, and every possible reason why. Storms should resign and save the necessity for a special session of the legislature was advanced, but he met them all with a decided ref usaL and : the conference adjourned. ! . . . '! Storms' friends! are confident that the legislature will !not impeach him if called together. Prior to the meeting with Storms, Goodrich ahd other were in consultation withr the Attorney General and the ' Governor! Mr. Storms had no proposition f to make and listened attentively to every reason that was urged for his; resignation. . n . He then replied that he had been elected by, the people, that he did not owe the state a dollar, and that there was no reason why he should be Wade a sacrifice to please; the. governor. While he might be willing to do anything for the party, the steps advised he said; would amount to A (Confession of i wrongdoing and' he could pot. be expected . thus -f to stultify) himself before 'the people who have : honored him with office.

North of Here That - Many ' Thought It In County.' ; An explosion of nitro glj-cerin about 10:30 yeserday morning at Geneva, Ind., sixty miles north of Richmond, was distinctly felt all over the northern part of this county and in Richmond. At Chester nearly all of the windows in the school house were broken, and the children ran terrified from the building. 7 As far as can be ascertained there was no other damage to property in this county. So distinct ' was the shock that many people living , north of this city thought that the explosion had taken place hi Wayne coun ty. Othere were of the "Opinion that the shock was due to an earthquake.' 1,500 Quarts Explode. Special to the Palladium. , Geneva, Ind., Feb. 15. The explosion of 1,500 quarts of f nitro-glycerin at , the Hercules Torpedo Company's magazine, two miles west of Geneva, at 10:30 this morning, resulted in the death of two men and two horses and the total annihilation of the property. The dead: LEE HOWARD, stockman. ED WAR I) GATES sfVmanj' : Beyond the breaking of several plate glass windows there was no damage to property in Geneva, but i the shock of the explosion shook the houses like a ship in a storm. Fortunately there were no farm houses in the immediate vicinity of the mag- . azine, so beyond the complete dedestruction of the building and the blowing of a great crater in the earth, the explosion did no damage in 'the country. The bodies of Howard and Gates were blown into small bits. , Just how the calamity occurred ; will, perhaps, never be- known; . The two men , who met their death, lived ; in the vicinity of Ft. Recovery, Ohio, and were stock drovers. This morning they were engaged in hauling ni- . tro-glvcerin from that town to the , Hercules Torpedo Company's magazine. In their wagon at the time of the explosion there were 920 nparts of the explosion. None of the em, ployes were at the magazine when the explosion occurred. It" is thought that Howard and. Gates were engaged in unloading the wagon when one of the cans of nitro-glycer-in was dropped in the magazine. ; WEDDLNG AT HAGERSTOWN.
