PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29. Nlnetyt
live pur cent of the miners who have
been on strike in the anthracite region
for six weeks returned to work when
the whittles at tho various collieries
blew this morning. A few firms still
refuse to olTer the 10 per cent advance,

what they ask for In a short time.
Since President Mitchell issued his
statement lust week, officially declar

men to return to work this morning,
the operators have been getting their
shafts and collieries Into ehape and the
miners found everything In readiness
so that the Industry was resumed with
out loss of time. No friction was no

be-n heard from.

All tho coal companies In the Wyo

have now posted notices granting their
employes the 10 per cent Increase asked
for by the Scrunton convention. The
exceptions are individual operators who
do not employ many hands. Hut it is
said that when t lie men employed at
these collieries report for Work they
will be told that they will receive the

The Kingston Coal company had no

Churchill, to withdraw or apologize for
Mr. Churchill's statement at the recent
banquet of the l'all Mall club that Lord
R'leslyn, la dispatches and letters from
South Afiica to English newspapers,
had lilnled Stilish officers and made
assertions that were nothing short of
falsehoods.
Yesterday morning Mr. Churchill

suggestion that he is moved by per
sonal feellnK against Lord Rosslyn, but
pointing out that the earl is responsl
ble for "a libelous statement concern
Ing four famous cavalry regiments."

be the first to regret that hard words
have been spoken, he refers to his ac

HAURIsnUUG, Oct.29. A party of
seven girls and nine boys from this city
spent Saturday on an island In the
Susquehanna river as the guests of
Dr. Joseph Klabfus, secretary of the

Barnett, but not finding what they
wanted they left the store and were

She Is said to have handed out a
double-barrelled shotgun, and with this
In his hand the angry storekeeper again
approached the party.
The boys supposed he was trying to
frighten them and standing In the

barrels. Eight of the young people

Explosion of Chemical Which Scat
tered Death and Kuln Over Two En
tire Dlocks.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30. The long list
of fire horrors which have occurred in
nd around the city of New York, a
list that includes the Hotel Royal fire.
the Park Place disaster, and the Wind-
or and Hoboken tires, was added to
yesterday by a fire and explosion that
shook the lower end of Manhattan like
an earthquake, hurled a 7-story build
ing Into the air and set fire to two
blocks of buildings, with a loss of life
that only the efforts of the hundreds of
men who were rushed to the work of
digging away the ruins ae soon as the
fire was extinguished will reveal.
The big building of Tarrant & Co.,
makers of medicinal specialties,
standing at the northwest corner of
Greenwich and Warren streets, and
filled with chemicals, took fire In some
way that may never be known at about
12:15 o'clock In the afternoon. It wa3
16 minutes after noon that a citizen
rushed Into the house of fire engine 20
on Chambers street, near Greenwich,
and shouted that Tarrant's drug house
was on fire. He had seen a volume of
black smoke coming from tho third
story window. An alarm was turned
In. Soon afterward second and third
alarms were turned In.
One fire company from station 62 had
just arrived when a terrific explosion
occurred that threw the entire engine
crew down the stairway. The firemen,
realizing the danger of their position,
rushed out of .the building to the street.
The explosion had filled the street In
front with a shower of falling glass and
small debris which sent the crowd,
which was already gathering on the
opposite sidewalks, fleeing for safety,
and caused the horses hitched to the
engines to rear and try to get away.
Captain Devanny of the company
from station 62 ordered the crew back
into the building again. They were
dragging the line to the doorway for
the second time when another explo
slon, more terrific than the first, came
and the whole crew was hurled across
Greenwich street, Devanny being so
badly Injured that he wa3 sent away to
Hudson hosnltal.
In the meantime the other engines
which had responded to the alarm had
collected and the firemen were busy
rescuing people from surrounding
buildings. Firemen had already taken
many girls down the only fire escape
upon the building and more persons
had ben carried down the escapes of
the Home Made restaurant next door
and the buildings adjoining upon War
ren street.
The second explosion occurred about
five minutes after the first. From the
accounts of witnesses the building
seemed to leap Into the air and In a
moment masses of brick wall, timbers
nnd eton were falling Into the streets
The force of the explosion tore away
the walls of the big commission store
house fronting on Washington street
and caused them to collapse, falling all
at once In a mass of timbers, boxes and
barrels, from which the flames, which
burst out from the Tarrant building
like belching of a cannon, at once broke
forth.
The ruin Is so complete and covers so
much territory that It Is impossible to
estimate the loss. It can only be said
that the property lo3s will be enormous.
It Is believed that over a score of per
sons have perished.
BOERS ATTACK CONVOY.

last night.
He was taken immediately to police
headquarters.
He refused to talk.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT
Dellered That Hank OIHclul Know Dut
Are Keeping It Hsoret.
NEW YORK. Oct. 26. A search of
the records in the courthouse at White
Plains shows that neither Cornelius L.
COItNELIUS L. ALVORD.
Alvord, Jr., nor his wife, Jennie B. Al
vord, owns any property at Mount
Vernon or in the county of Westches
ter.
It was reiterated yesterday that the
stolen money, or a greater part of It,
had gone Into Wall street, either by di
rect speculation or by backing a big
bucket shop. It was said that Alvord
had taken advantage of certain infor
mation he derived from private sources
which Induced him to speculute in rail
road securities in which directors of
the bank were particularly Interested
On this point, however, the bank's
officers refuse to talk, but one who
knows the bank's affairs well said that
if this were the ease Alvord must haw
made money Insted of losing it. It is
believed that the bank knows where
the teller's speculations were, and what
they were, but le unwilling to make the
fact public. Thus no one appears to
know .whether Alvord had any account.
what bank h" used, or In what name he
traded, if at all. "It looks," said
bank otlicer yesterday, "as though
whatever transactions Alvord may have
had In stock speculation they must
have been conducted In some other
name." Whether this be so or not It
was generally believed that no money
thus lost by Alvord could be recovered
from the brokers acting for him. A
decision of the court of appeals in the
Kiosum-Whitney case governs such
transactions.
Cornelius N. Alvord's three children,
accompanied by their nurse, arrived at
the home of Alvord's uncle in Stock
port yesterday. They were not accom
panied by their mother.
1114 Simple Scheme.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. The comp
troller of the currency in speaking of
Alvord's defalcation said; "A further
examination of Alvord's accounts by
the officers of the bank shows that his
stealings have been going on for sev
eral years. Fourteen months ago he
took a two weeks' vacation and on ex
amination of his tickets preceding his
going and after his return shows that
he covered his shortage while absent
by making a number of charges to out-of-town
accounts, and credited back
the amounte on his return before the
monthly statements were sent out.
"The amount of his shortage at va
rious periods In the past seems to have
gone up and down, nnd It Is probable
this Is due to the fact that whenever
he had reason to expect any Investlga
tlon of his cash or a periodical visit
from the examiner he would doctor it
by meane sf these false charges against
large accounts. In the present In
stance the examiner went Into the bank
a mouth ahead of the usual six months'
period, the last preceding examination
having been made May 13, 1!C0, ami
this unexpected visit prevented 'a ma
nlpulatlon of the figures by Alvord and
led to discovery of the defalcation.
"This theft could probably have been
prevented by a rotation of the clerical
force of the bank, thus placing each
department under the supervision of
different persons sucecwively.
"There Is no way to accurately check
the accounts of an employe If he has
access to the succeeding day's cash
from which to make good his shortage
of the current day, and this Is what Al
vord has always bad, and has also the
opportunity to hold back credits for
longer time than the day on which the
letters enclosing items are received.
