FIRE AND EXPLOSION
IN WASHINGTON CITY
Mrs. Dickins, an Authoress,
Loses Her Life.
WIFE OF NAVAL CAPTAIN
She Wat Pouring Gasoline on t he Floor
For the Purpose of Clraiihing Sime
When Plumbers With a Melting Pot
Appeared and Ignited the Liquid.
JVashington, Joly 7.—Fire and ex
plosion in the residence of Captain
Dickins of the United States navy at
10:4b this morning resulted in the death
of Mrs. Dickins, who was fearfully
burned, and died before medical assist
ance could reach her. Other persons
abc’it the house were severely, but not
dangerously, wounded.
The Dickins residence is a handsome
8-story brick building on Nineteenth
street, directly back of tho British em
bassy, and within a few steps of Dnpont
circle. The first intimation of the fire
was a low rumble, followed by several
violent shocks, which blew out the en
tire third story front of the residence.
Tho firemen made their way to the
third story and among the debris litter
ing the front room found the blackened
corpse of a woman.
From the details of the accident, as
learned from those in the house at the
time, it appears that Joseph Vaughan,
a plumber, end bis assistant were put
ting on a gutter to the rear of the third
story roof. Having completed the job
they descended by means of a ladder to
the third story. One of the men carried
in hie band a lighted melting pot. As
he descended Vaughan detected the
strong fumes of gasolene and through
the door to tho trout room caught a
glimpse of a woman sprinkling some
liquid on the floor with the evident pur
pose of preparing to cleanse it.
He stated to his partner that gasoline
was being used and that there was dan
ger from tho fire pot, but at this instant
a terrific explosion occurred, literally
enveloping the entire third story in a
mass of flames. The two men suc
ceeded in making their way to the rear
windows, where they got on a 1-story
house and thence to the ground. They
wore severely burned about the hands
and face.
Tho most sorrowful scene occurred in
connection with the recovery and iden
tification of Mrs. Dinkins’ body. In
tho midst of the greatest excitement the
first report was that the blackened body
tn the upper story was that of the wife
of a distinguished admiral of the navy.
Ho was summoned from his home near
by. nnd not only detected the mistake,
but gave the first definite information
that Mrs. Dickins was the one so hor
ribly burned. Word was sent to the
navy department, where Captain Dick
ins is next to Admiral Orowninshield,
at the head of the bureau of navigation.
The exact character of the catastrophe
was not made known to him, but he
was brought hurriedly to the Dickins'
residence la a carriage. He almost
fainted as he was helped from tho car
riage up the stone entrance steps.
Going inside he identified the body as
that of his wife. Tho body of Mrs.
Dickine was borne to the next house,
where a surgeon of the navy resides.
Captain Dickins is one of the best
known officers connected with the navy
department, and he was brought into
prominence at the time the Maine was
blown up at Havana. He was then
acting chief of the navigation bureau
and it fell to his lot to receive the first
dispatch from Captain Sigsbee giving
information of that disaster.
Mrs. Dickens was an authoress of
some note, one of her best known books
being “Around the World in a Man-Of-
War." She was also a frequent con
tributor to magazines.

LUNA AREACQUITTEO
Filipinos Tried Near Manila

ALLEGED PLOT DISCLOSED
Dead Chieftain’s Followers Now Out.
wardly Loyal to Aguinaldo, Whose
Leadership Has Been Apparently
. Strengthened For tho Time.
Manila, July 7.—The trial at Ca
bunatuan of the slayers of General
Luna, the Filipino leader who wa«
assassinated by the guard of Agni
naldo’s residence, is ended. The ac
cused were acquitted on the ground of
self defense. The testimony showed
there was a conspiracy upon the part of
Luna aud other officers to kill Agui
naldo and make Luna dictator.
Luna’s death seems to have strength
ened Aguinaldo’s leadership for the
time. Luna’s supporters are now out
wardly loyal to Aguinaldo.
It will be remembered that General
Luna and his aide de-cainp, Lieutenant
Pasco Ramon, were killed on June 8 by
Agninaldo’s guard at the headquarters
of Aguinaldo.

them drew a revolver. The guard then
killed Luna and Ramou with their bay
onets.
GREAT SYSTEMS COMBINE?
Reported Deal Whereby Southern and
L. & N, Consolidate.
Birmingham, Ala., July 7.—The Age-

“An Associated Press dispatch from
Louisville yesterday afternoon says it is
rumored there that J. M. Culp, traffic
manager of the Southern railway, with
beadquarters in Washington, will be
come traffic manager of the Louisville
& Nashville.
“The dispatch would seem to indicate
that Mr. Culp will leave the Southern
railroad to accept a similar position with
the Louisville and Nashville. Instead
of that being the case, The Age-Herald
has it from an apparently reliable
source, that negotiations have been in
progress for several months looking to
ward a consolidation of the Southern
and the Louisville and Nashville into
one great railroad system.
“It was learned yesterday that the
controlling interests of the two roads
expect to have matters in shape to bring
about the consolidation in the early fall.
“Samuel Spencer, president of tbe
Southern, is now in Europe, but is ex
pected back in a few weeks, and the
best opinion is that the consolidation is
probable soon after his return.
“While no official announcement will
be made until the consolidation is thor
oughly effected, it is at this time even
beyond the probable stage.
“It is probable that Mr. Culp will
then be traffic manager of the entire
consolidated system.”

INCENDIARISM AT WILSON.
Commissioner of Insurance Young to
Make an Investigation.
Raleigh, July 6.— Commissioner of
Insurance Young has left for Wilson to
continue the investigation into the cause
of the incendiary fires. These fires be
gan last autumn and they were then
political in character; that is, they were
due to the high feeling giowing out of
the election and the repression of the
disorderly element among the negroes.
They have continued since and tbe good
people there are stirred up.
The insurance commissioner has a,
much power in the case of fires as a
coroner has iu an investigation of a
death under suspicious circumstances,
and the local authorities are required to
co-operate with him. This is particu
larly the case so far as the mayor aud
chief of the fire department are con
cerned. Tbe latter are required to look
into the causes of fires and if there are
suspicious circumstances to promptly
report the tame to the insurance com
panies.
Quite njturally the insurance com
panies will co operate with marked
heartiness. The insurance commis
sioner is a shrewd man and taken all
around there is every reason for belief
that the law will bring about some very
good results. There are some places in
this state where the companies have
known that incendiarism is by no means
rare.
FOUND DYING ON A ROOF.
Atlanta Man Drink. Too Much Lau
danum by Design or Accident.
Atlanta, July s.—David P. Morris,
an old and respected resident of this
city, was found unconscious on the top
of the Forestry building at Exposition
park yesterday and died at his home
last night without uttering a word that
might have tended to clear up the
tragedy.
A small vial that had contained laud
anum was found by his side and has led
to the advancement of two theories—
suicide or accidental overdose, taken to
induce sleep.
The victim came to Atlanta just after
the war and was in the grocery busi
ness with his brother for several years.
Recently he has been in the real estate
business with his sons. He was a na
tive Georgian! aud fought all through
the civil war in the confederate army.
He was oneof the landmarks of the city
and had a wide circle of friends aud
acquaintances.
He was possessed of considerable
property and there was nothing about
his buisiuess affairs to induce him to
commit suicide. He leaves a wife and
three children. .
FARMERS MAY ORGANIZE.
Largely Attended and Enthusiastic
Meeting at Seneca.
Seneca, S. 0., July 5.—A meeting to
demonstrate that the South Carolina al
liance is not dead was held at Seneca
yesterday, there being 3,000 persons
present. Among the speakers were
Senator Tillman, Congressmen Latimer
and Talbert and President Wilbern of
the state alliance.
It was evident from the burden of
speeches that there is a purpose now
on foot to form an alliance of farmers,
merchants and others. It was admitted
that the farmers could not alone throt
tle the trusts. President Wilberu an
nounced that a state convention of the
alliance would be held the latter part of
this month, and urged “backsliders” to
come iu, pay up dues and take a hand.
When Senator Tillman told the audi
ence they were slaves, a man ques
tioned :
“Who made us that way?"
"The fools that vote to put scoundrels
in office,” yelled the senator. “The
masses are misled by capital which own
the ‘newspapers,’ and the country is
drifting to the devil. Bryan will be
the next president, and he will be
elected on the Ocala platform.”

Columbia, S. C., July s.—The su
preme court has just rendered a decis
ion which will be of general interest.
The effect of the decision is that a party

tirely new phase of this much discussed
questiou. The title of the case is Au
gusta A. D. Bostick versus Eloise Chovi,
and went up to the supreme court from
Barnwell county.
Swindling the Old Slaves.
