Baltimore. Not. 21,—Judge Bond
signed an order today authorising Wal
ter G. Oakman, receiver of the Kich-

pany, to institute proceedings to secure
the cancellation of the comtmot by
which the Terminal Company purchas'd
$12,000,000 of capital stock and $3.-
533,000 of collateral trust bonds of the
Georgia company. Mr. Oakman is au
thorized to issue to cover the amount
the Terminal company is aUeged to lave
lost in the transaction. The order is
rimilar to tha one previously passed in
Now York. The stork* ami bonds n
questimn have been depoAted with the
Central' Trust Company of New York
as part security for the issue of $11];
500,000 5 per cent, bonds by the Ter
minal company.
The petition alleged that the Terminal
Company paid over $7,000,000 for the
securities of the Georgia Company, but
that at the time of the purchase they
were worth only half that sum. It is
also alleged that the purchase was made
from a syndicate composed in large
part of the directors end officers of the
Terminal Company, at least three of its
directors betog intcrMtal in the syndi
cate. This syndicate, it is further alleged,
had but a short time previous purchased
the securities alt about half the price re
ceived from the Terminal and in the
transactions the Terminal Company was
represented by the directors and offl-
core who Were themselves selling to

Rome, Nov. 21.—Intense excitement
has been caused here by a mysterious
tragedy at San Pancrazlo, n suburb
of thia city. Father Blandel. a i a.,**-*.
ed priest, lived w'tli his sister In u
small country house at San l'ancra-
zio. They I<al quirt, uneventful Uvea.
Several days ago a laborer named
Maazicri was employed to do s.,me
work about the place. Yesterday,
Mnzzleri entered the room occupied by
Father Blandel. Ho bad boon there
only a short timo when be rushed out
with a wild look of fear upon Ids face,
with his clothing stained with blood
that was pouring from wounds on bis
body. To some neighbors who Were
pausing he declared that when be wen
into the room he found Father Blan-
del In an excitable mood. Hardly any
words bad been exchanged between
them when the priest drew a revolver
and fired tbree times at Mazzieri. As
tho latter fled from the room he beard
another shot and beard the priest
fall. From this be Inferred that
Father Blandel had killed hlmseif.
Some of tho people who heard tho
story ran to tho house nnd entered
They found the body of the priest’s
sister In one of the rooms wber she
had been murdered. The hotly of
Father Blandel was found on tbo floor
of his room. Police were summoned
as was also a doctor, who upon exam
ination pronounced Mnzzleri's wound
mortal, adding that he had but a few
hours to live.
There are many theories afloat to
account for tho affair. One Is that
tho priest had become Insane nnd
killed his sister, that when he sum
moned Mnzzleri to his rooms it was
with the intention of killing 1dm. then
commtthig suicide. Another theory
is that Mazzler Is himself the criminal.
Those who support this latter theory
say that Father Blandel had a small
sura of money in the house, that in try
ing to get in possession of it the labor
er killed the priest and hi* sister. But
It is said that Mnzzleri even had ho
attempted to rob his employer an I
had murdered him nnd bis sister, upon
being discovered would nrtt have in
flicted a fatal wound upon himself. As
Mazzieri Is now In a comatose con
dition the mystery will probably never

Fatally Injured.
Steubenville, 0., Nov. 2L—A fearful
potviler explosion occurred this after
noon nt Blanch coni mine, at Collier*,
W. Va. Twenty-tlve kegs of powder
exploded enuring the inHtnnt\dcatli of
three miner* nnd tho serious wound
ing of eight others, three of whom
will probably die. Tho names of thoso
killed are:
John Pleeky, Wesley Anderson, col
ored, Michael Cohoker.
V.’oundcd arc:
*Viu. Auactavu* COiGTcu, TTuC
Just entering the mine when the explo
sion occurred, blown fifty feet over'
trestle, n leg broken, face nud head
badly bruised, will die.
Edward Cook, colored, horribly
bruised about the head awl back, will
die.
John Gillespie, was burned Inwardly

Lawrence Campbell, colored, burned
about tbe arms unil head.
John Zaging, burned very seriously
about tho anna and bend.
Matthew Wright, burned abont the
head and back.
George Teeters, Injured Internally.
John Hornsey, burned about the head
and arms.
The explosion occurred as the men
were returning from dinner which was
providential,' for had It occurred ten
minutes later the destruction to life
in all probability would have been
something awful. The force of the
explosion was fearful tho ground bo-
ing shaken as though by an earth
quake. It is supposed tho explosion
waa caused by a piece of fuse which
became lighted in some manner nnd
convoyed the fatal spark to tho boxes
in which the powder cans were kept
The sceno at tho mouth of tho mine
following the explosion was one of
great excitement. The entire popula
tion gathered. That some of thoso
who were In tho mlno wore not suffo-
of mind of James Clark nml James
Borden, who got tbo out-rido door-
shaft, which had been blown from. Its
rated to dentil is duo to the presence
hinges, and replaced it. About 60
men were employed in the mine.
