NAN . PATTERSON FREE Released By District Attorney Jerome. LAST CHAPTER IN FAMOUS CASE. District Attorney Jerome Give the Former "Florodora" Olrl Her Freedom, and at th Same Time Say There Ha Been a Miicar rlage ol Jnitlce J. Morgan Smith and Hit Witt Also Out ol Prison. New York (Special) After more than It months in prison and three mistrials on the charge of murdering C.xsar Young Nan Patterson walked from the Tombs H free won-.'an. As she left the great building which has been her home since a few days after Young was found dying in a cab in lower New Y'ork 2.000 persons greeted her with cheers, for the news that District At torney Jerome would move for her dis missal from custody had spre.nl through out the vicinity of the courthouse. But the accused girl had but a few seconds to see and hear the demonstration before she was whisked away in a cab with her attorney, Abraham Levy. The move to discharge Nan Patter son came rather unexpectedly to the pub lic. It was an hour or more before noon when District Attorney Jerome appeared before Recorder Goff in Special Sessions and announced that he desired to move the discharge of the former chorus girl without bail and on her own recogniz ance. This announcement followed three trials for murder. The second and third of these trials the latter concluded but a few days ago resulted in disagreements ; the first in the discharge of the jury be cause of the illness of a juror before the case had been concluded. Not tbe least interesting of the day's events and perhaps the great dramatic climax to the troubles of tbe former "Florodora" girl was the reunion in free dom with her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, and her brother-in-law, J. Morgan Smith, both of whom were discharged by Justice Cowing, in the Court of Gen eral Sessions, after being held on charges of conspiracy in connection with the Pat terson case. District Attorney Jerome announced his decision to free Nan Patterson in a speech in the course of which he declar ed that during two of the trials of the giri all the evidence in the possession of the District Attorney's office had been presented to the Court, and that in both cases there had been a disagreement. He said he did not believe that at thrs time, "in this county, another trial would re sult in anything else than a disagree ment." He concluded with the motion that Nan Patterson be discharged on her own recognizance. It was then that Miss Pat terson was sent for, and as a cenirt of ficer met her in her cell he said : ' "Conic on. Nan. It is all right ; you are going free." Recorder Goff, the venerable judge who has tried so many famous criminal cases, met the eyes of the girl as she walked slowly into the courtroom and took the same seat which she occupied during the trying days of her last trial. "Nan Patterson." he said slowly, "the District Attorney has seen fit to recom mend your discharge. I fee! bound to say I fully coincide in the decision. There is nothing I can say in this case that has not already been said; but let me entreat you in your future life to re member the terrible ordeal through which you have passed and to permit every ac tion of your life to be guided by that remembrance. Good-by," and the Re corder bowed his head as he uttered the final word and closed the case. DYNAMITE EXPLOSION KILLS SEVEN. Hot Candle Oreate railing From Miner' Cap Supposed to Be Cause. Butte, Mont., (Special). By the ex plosion of 100 pounds of dynamite on the 1. 500-foot level of the Corra Mine, one of the Ileinze properties, seven men were instantly killed and one badly in jured. Wampra, who is a Finlander, was in the magazine on the 1,500-foot level, get ting a supply of powder for Hill and Gill, who were above working in a slope. T. A. Varden, foreman of the mine, was at the magazine three minutes before the disaster occurred, lie saw Wampra get the powder for himself and companions for the night. Wampra was tying up about 50 pounds. Varden left to over see some work in another part of the mine. Three minutes after there was a terrific explosion. Varden, accompan ied by other miners, rushed to the sta tion. He found Wampra had been killed instantly. It is believed that the explosion was caused by hot candle grease falling from Wampra's cap on a powder cap. Gill, O'Brien, Hanleyand Hoolihan were killed by the concussion caused by the explo sion. They were at work in some slopes a long distance from the magazine, but the concussion was strong enough to mutilate several of the men badly and tear the clothes off their bodies. Salve For a Wounded Heart Pittsburg, Pa. (Special). Miss Edith Isabella Gibney, of St. Louis, Mo.,' se cured a verdict of $13,925 in a $50,000 damage suit for breach of promise against Klaus J.

Finn saw three men hurry from the flour and feed store of Strunk & Mover, and he started after them. When they reached a point where it is very dark, owing to shade tres, one of them turned and fired a shot jrom a revolver. About 20 feet separated Finn from the fleeing men, and the bullet struck the former and penetrated the wall ot the abdomen. $1,000,000,000 IN FIVE YEARS. Lose By Fir Throughout tbe United Slate Aggregated Thai Amount New York (Special). The gigantic, desolate picture of a great ash-heap in volving the enormous destruction of more than $1,000,000,000 in property is brought to minel by the cold figures of the National Underwriters' Association report, which was made public at the annual convention held in this city. These tables of losses tell an impos ing story of the plague of flames as it has swept around the country in the last five years. From tfsno to the pres ent date the company's statistics in ex act figures of the fire losses show that preperty to the enormous value of $1, 025.582.690 has been destroyed. Of these years last year was the one in which the most wealth and property went up in smoke. In 11,104 $2JO.i')8,050 was the sum of losses almost $75,000,000 in ex cess of the losses of any other year. The reports do not give the interest ing facts as to the cause of this immense increase, nor is there anything reliable to be learned regarding what part of t )u.se stupendous losses was caused by the sinister hands of fire fiends. The arson committee has made no study of the question of inceniliarism nor the success in the pursuit and capture of incendiaries other than to tabulate in what state rewards were offered for the apprehension of firebugs. These do not amount to any great figures. Conservative estimates, however, of the firebugs' responsibility for the fire plague would make such creatures re sponsible for at least $100,000,000 eif the tremendous total of more than $1, 000,000,000. TO INFORM THE FARMERS. Secretary Wilson on a Tour of Southwestern State. Memphis, Tenn., (Special). Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, accompanied by Prof. J. M. Spillman and M. A.

NINETEEN KNOWN TO BE DEAD. Terror of th Wreck ol tn Paenger Train That Ran Into Freight Car Filled With Dynamite at Harrlsburg-Half-clad Paiten ger. Roused From Sleep by Terrific Ei ploiloot, Driven Nearly Wild. Harrisburg, Fa. Special). Ninctcrn dead, nine of whom have been identi fied, and more than 100 injured, omc of them severely, are the fruits of the terrible accident to the westbound Cleve land and Cincinnati express on the Penn sylvania railroad, which ran into a de railed freight train carrying dynamite near the Lochiel Iron Works, South Har risburg, and on the east side of the Sus quehanna River. Of the injured 52 are still at the Harrisburg Hospital, where nearly all of the living victims of the disaster were taken. The body of an unidentified Italian baby is at the hospital, and at the tem porary morgue at Boyd's undertaking es tablishment are nine piles of charred flesh and bones, each of which was once a human bein. Identification of these remains is considered impossible. Besides the bodies recovered, it is like ly that many others were destroyed in the fire which consumed the wreckage of the trains. Among the passengers of the day coach were a number of immigrants going to their new homes in the West, and how many of these perished probably will never be known. The accident which has filled Harris burg's morgue with dead, its hospital with maimed and dying and the hearts of its people with pity and sympathy was a terrible one. The wrecked passenger train was the second section of train No. to, which left Philadelphia at 11.05 o'clock P. M. on schedule time. The train was maele up of an engine and tcn eler, the former in charge of II. K. Thomas, engineer, and R. R. Dickey, fireman; a combination car, day coach and six Pullman sleepers, four of which were from Philadelphia and the other two from Jersey City. There arc said to have been 169 passengers on the train. The cause of the wreck was the sud den stopping of an eastbound freight train. The freight train was flagged by the crew of a shifting engine, and the sudden application of the air-brakes caused the train to buckle up near the rear end. The thirty-fifth car from the engine was derailed and thrown over on the westbound track. Half a minute later the express train, going at the rate of 50 miles an hour, crashed into the wrecked car. The car next the one which caused the wreck was loaded with dynamite consigned to Kerbaugh & Co., of Columbia, Pa., and this exploded with a terrific roar, demolishing every car of the express train and 12 of the freight cars. That so many passengers escaped in stant death seems .Mmost incredible. The shock of the explosion threw nearby resi dents from their beds and broke window panes for miles around, and the scene which followed is indescribable. The scene of the accident is a short dis tance from the plant of the Paxtang Klectric Company. The nearest resi dences to the scene are a row of small frame houses about 100 yards away, oc cupied by laboring men and their fam ilies, whose conduct was little short of heroic. Hurled from their beds by the shock of the explosion and not know ing what had happened, these people poured from homes in terror. Once out side, the shrieks and groans from the great heap of wreckage and the white clad figures rushing hither and thither like frightened sheep apprised them of the calamity that had befallen the trav elers. And then that touch of nature which makes all the world akin got in its good work, and the half-dressed workingmen set to work to pull the maimed anil stunned from the heap of wreckage, then burning fiercely, while their wives and children set to work to tear up their bedsheets for bandages and draw on their scanty wardrobes for clothing for the half-naked passengers who had escaped. The first persons to reach the scene of the wreck were almost unnerved by the awful spectacle. In the light of the blazing cars scores of half-naked men and women were seen rolling in agony on the ground, while from the burning pile of wreckage came the heartrending shrieks of those who were imprisoned in the path of the flames. A few of these unfortunates were released and carried to a place of safety by the gallant res cuers, but the resistless sweep of the fire soon drove back the would-be res etters, and the shrieks and groans grad ually ceased as one by one. the victims succumbed to the flames. Practically every sleeping person in Harrisburg was awakened by the explo sion, and the news and extent of the dis aster spread rapidly. The entire force of the Police and Fire Departments was ordered to the scene and every vehicle that could be used for an ambulance was pressed into service. As fast as the injured could be collected they were taken to the Harrisburg Hospital, where all the physicians of the city and many volunteer nurses, in addition to the regu lar staff, were ready to dress their in juries. In all 106 patients were treated at the hospital, but so great was the task of mercy imposed upon the doctors that only the names of the more severely in jured were recorded. Husband and Wilt Dead. Hyndman, Pa. (Special) Neibhbors of Harvey Rose, who lived three miles north of Chancysville, made a ghastly discovery. The investigation was the result of Rose and his wife not having been seen about for several days.

Twenty four persons are known to have been killed and over 35 were injured in a tornado, the most disastrous in the his tory of Central Kansas, which swept over this portion of the State at mid night. One large section of Marquette, where the principal loss of life occurred, was entirely wiped out. Reports from the surrounding country show that the destruction to life and property was widespread, and the list of dead and injured is growing constant ly. A storeroom belonging to Olaf Olson, a furniture dealer, has been converted into a temporary morgue, and at 9.30 24 dead boelics had been brought in. Following the storm the utmost con fusion prevailed, and it will se some time before the actual extent of the storm is known. When daylight broke over the town it found the entire population in a state of panic. Business was entirely suspend ed and everyone who escaped injury turned his attention toward aiding the wounded. The tornado seems to have formed three miles sentth of Marquette and did not spend its force until it had passed many miles north of the town. In Marquette the residence portion west o' (he main street suffered the principal damage. The houses in the course of the tornado were all with two or three exceptions completely wrecked. In this section there was a number of modern residences, of which only one, the home of R. A. Thompson, was left standing. The Swedish, Lutheran and Methodist Churches were among the ..rst buildings struck, and they, together with the par sonage adjoining the Methodist Church, were demolished. The afternoon was hot and oppres sive. Late in the evening a terrific rainstorm broke over the town. The rain continued to fall in torients until midnight, when the tornado struck. Within less than five minutes it had wrought its terrible work and passed on. Telegraph and telephone wires were carried down and it was several hours before the outside world could be ap prised of the plight of the city. It was not until 8 o'clock that physi cians and surgeons began arriving from surrounding towns. In the meantime dozens of volunteers set to work to clear away the debris and extricate the dead and injured. The Swedish Luth eran parsonage and several private resi dences were turned into temporary hos pitals. The dead were taken to a store room nearby. ' In one room in the Lutheran parson age the pastor found six injured, and in an aeljoining room were five bodies of persons who had died from injuries af ter they had been brought in. In half a dozen other houses similar conditions were found. Dr. Lund, the Lutheran pastor, passed among the suffering, min istering to their comfort, while thirty or forty other persons, working under his direction, cared for the injured at other points. There were many narrow escapes from death. The infant daughter of Charles Sailen was lifted in her bed and carried to the middle of the street, receiving only a few scratches. Sailen and his wife were seriously injured. The mattress upon which the baby daughter of Rev. Smith lay was doubled up in such a manner as to cover the child and protect it from falling timbers. In spite of the destruction of the Smith house the entire family escaped unin jured. Mr. and Mrs. O. S. Eilvin were carried on their bed a distance of 500 feet and laid down without being seriously in jured. ' c Marquette is a town of 1500 people, in McPherson County. It is in the ex act centre of Kansas, and the richest farming country of the State. MASSACRE OF JEWS. Bloody Rlotlog Reported at Zhitomir, In South western Ruitla. St. Petersburg, (By Cable). The re port in circulation here that there had been a massacre of Jews at Zhitomir, Government of Volhynia, Southwestern Russia, is confirmed in a dispatch to the Novosti, which says the rioting be gan May 7 and continued for 48 hours.

HAVOC OF A T0RDAD0 Whole Families Perish in Tumbling Houses. 100 DEAD AND 150 MORE INJURED. Storm Strike the Town of Snyder, Okla., When Many Peraon Art Aileep-Cruthed to Death In Their Bed Fir Follow Wind, Completing th Work of Destruction Bank and Other Building Dettroyed. Guthrie, Okla. (Special). Over too people killed and about 150 injured if the terrible record of the tornado that destroyed the village of Sardcr and laid waste a large stretch of country. In several instances whole families perished in the ruins of their homes. The popula tion of the village, which is situated in the heart of the Kioncs farming country, was about 1,000, Eighty-five bodies have been recovered. a dozen persons are missing and given up for dead, and of the 41 seriously in jured several are likely to die. At Olostec, Okla., it is reported that a numlner of lives were lost. Fire broke out following the storm and entirely consumed one business block. A partial list 01 the property losses is as follows : Bank of Snyder; the Hilton Hotel; Farmers and Merchants' Bank; the two- story stone building of Robert Pritchard ; the Snyder Hotel; the Hall Street Fur niture Company, stock and buijding; Tennyson & Hoffmaster, dry goods; Mil ler Brothers, dry goods; Snvder Hard ware Company; Stofcr Hardware Com pany; Joyce Grocery Company; Davidson Grocery Company, stock ; Morris, gro ceries; Snyder Gin Company, and the Burnett Gin Company. Fifty freight cars standing in the yards were reduced to kindling wood, and the railroad tracks were torn up for blocks. Every building left standing at Snyder was converted into either a hospital or morgue. Three young children in the Crook family were killed; one, a babe, was snatched from its mother's arm and its brains dashed out against a brick wall. The storm was of the regular twister variety, and swooped down upon Snyder without warning. It came up from the southwest. It cut a swath a half-mile wide, demolishing everything in its path for a distance of to miles southwest and three miles northeast of Snyder. One of the saddest cases was that of Colonel Williamson. When the storm struck, Williamson grabbed a woman who he thought was his wife and hur ried away to a place of safety. When out of danger he discovered that the wo man was not his wife. Later Mrs. Wil liamson was brought to the temporary morgue with her head completely sev ered from the body. The first relief train sent from Ho bart, 32 miles north of Snyder, reached the stricken town just before daylight. Every one on board began at once the work of relief. On every hand they found the wreck age and streets almost obliterated by piles of demolished houses. In all direc tions evidence of the terrible havoc of the storm was apparent. The dead and dying lay about the streets, in yards and mixed up with the wreckage, while those who had escaped ran hither and thither in excited attempts to bring order out of the terrible chaos and to render what meager aid they might. The storm w-as not confined to Snyder. On the way to the boom town dead and injured were passed in plain sight of the relief train, but passed by in tho efforts of the rescuers to reach Snyder, yherc there was greater need of their services. The calamity would not have been so great had the people not been asleep when the tornaelo struck. McKINLEY'S MEMORIAL The Design For tbe Mausoleum la Formally Approved. New York", (Special).
