Buffalo, Oct. 7. -Two men were torn to pieces and three others in- jared as the result a a premature explosion ot dynamite at the yards of the. Buffalo Furnace Company at the foot of Hamburg street shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Seven other men had narrow es- capes. THE, DEAD. Benjamin Format°, 28 years old, of No. 87 Main street. Anthony Farnello, 23 years of age of No. 10 Fly street. THE INJURED. Vissi Schimme, 44 years of age, of Blasdell, N. Y. Edward Johnson, 30 years of age, of No. 23 Irsom. street. Thomas Richardson, 35 years of age, of No. 713 West avenue. The men were at work in the yard digging up a pile of old slag that hal accumulated in the past few years. The slag had formed itself into a solid mass so that it was necessare to place sticks of dynamite in the holes that were dug for the purpose so that the concrete wast could be loosened and shoveled into cars that were waiting alongside the yard. Heavy charges were used, and the dynamite was touched off by elec- tricity. Yesterday afternoon the hole that had been dug to receive a twenty-five pound charge of dynamite was not „ea large enough to receive the stick. r Two Of the worinnen, Formate and Tarnello, tried to force the dynamite into the =row opening. They handled, the explosive carelessly, and efter roughly shoving it several times into the hole let go. It was a terrific explosion that fol. lowed. Pieces, of slag were hurled ear a quarter of a mile. Several men :sere knocked down by the concus- ;ion. Others were found bleeding and bruised, struck by flying pieces af the heavy slag. Tomato's head was blown off and hie body was terribly mangled. He was the man who is said to have been alireetly at the head of the hole where the cartridge was being in- eerted. Workmen soon found the headless body of their companion, Tarnello, male twenty feet from the spot where the blast occurred. Earaelle's body also was frightly mangled, Twenty feet away, Ed johnson was found lying on the ground, his cloth- ing torn and his body bleeding. A huge chunk of the slag had struck him and.rendered him unconscious. He was removed to his home. In another section of the yard, Vissi Schimme was found, his face and hands burned and bruised Workmen bandaged his wounds and rushed him to the General Hoepital where last night it was said that he had a possible chance to recover. Thomas Richardson, the engineer on the job, was mere than a hundred feet away. He could not dodge all the pines of slag that came in his direction and he sustained a • bad scalp wound. He was taken to his home. ••••••le - GREAT INDIAN STRIKE FEARED. A PREDICTION BY BRITISH AU- THORITY ON INDIA. Kier Hardie's Speeches Stirring Up Dis- content Among Hindu Workmen - The Whole Country Disturbed - Series of Murderous Assaults on Europeans. London, Oet. 6. -The Indian discon- tent has been brought vividly within the. ken of the British public this week. It was no little shock to the average Englishman to be told. that the condi- tion of Eastern Bengal under British rul ; was worse than that of Russia, and that the atrocities committee(' there would, if known in England, provoke mare horror than did the Turkish out- rages in Armenia. The Englishman rubbed his eyes and askee. himself if he were dreaming. Then he saw that the author of these charges was James Keir Hardie. He knew Keir Hardie and did not attach any import- ance to what that ebullient labor leader said, and was at first inclined. to dis- miss the whole matter with good-humor- econtempt. Then it was borne in upon him that the natives of India did not know Keir Hardie, and that the latter's statements of low lie and the parties he represents in England Would throw in their lot with their brown brothers might do in- conceivable damage by fanning the flame of discontent into a conflagration. A feeling of uneasiness is taking possession of the country. "Ia there to be an outbreak in Italie?" is a question frequently heard these days,. Generally the answer is in the negative, but the horizon is dark with possibilities. The whole country, with its teeming millions, certainly had been disturbed during the last few months; there had been a long series of murder - oils assaults upon Europeans, and at- tempts had been made to corrupt the native troops. One authority whose views have attracted considerable at- tention makes the the prediction that, ,iivhile there will be no "second Indian ;rising in our time, there is likely to be sornething more dangerous and baf- fling." "The modern weapon of revolution," says this authority, "is the strike. In one way caste is, strictly speaking, a form of trade union, There are among the Hindus the 'bakers' caste, and so on. No baker may wash his own clothes.' na washerman may prepare his own food. ef the Hindus strike, what would be - cone of the native army and the whole Inkiness of India? Again, the telegraph depute -tent is inostly Hinde, and the postal seevice is entirely Hindu. Indeed, almost all the subordinate officials In India are Hindu. No strike conceivable M England could have hall the effect of a caste strike in India, • "The engine drivers are Parsees, Eura- sian, and Mohammedans, but every- where else the Hindu has increased. At areeent the Molianeneaans are nun:tore sally only a thirtieth part of the subor- dinate officials. This is the danger of elle service -the vast predominance of the Hindu -and if omens are true, he naturally will use his advantage while hi cart. When Chandra Pal was arrest- ed, he said the time to strike had not yet come. He meant strike in both its meanings," ** TO MODERNIZE OXFORD.. lea Curzon Has Appealed for etmoo;000 for That Purpose.

Calgary, Alberta, Oct. Gr-Wliile Mr. EL L. Borden was advocating his plat- form for the west here his audience sneezed -not at Mr. Borden or at the planks of his platform, but because their olfactory nerves were irritated. The air, in fact, was full of cheers- atul snuff. The former were the off- spring of enthusiastic endorsation, while the latter, it is reported, was the con- tribution of those interested in breaking up what nevertheless proved a very suc- cessful meeting. Me snuff apparently was thrown through an upper window, and while enough of it was placed in circulation to muse a slight disturbance, it fortun- ately was not of sufficient strength to reach the noses of the speakers. The prank was on a par with the ex- ploit of the joker who throws red pep- per on a hot stove during a country dance. DOGS AS POLICE A FAILURE. Experiment Tried, in. Antwerp Not a Success. 'Washington, Oct. 6. -Dogs • as night police assistants have proved a failure in Antwerp, according to a report re- ceived from the Vice United States Con- sul -General at that city. The .Antwerp pclice experimented with dogs as assist- ants to the night watch service in the isolated section of the city.

The Antwerp police have seven dogs, know as the Belgian shepherd dog, which are trained to look upon men in urgent as their only friends, suspecting all others, and more particularly a man lying down. At night the seven dogs, all muzzledeare turned over to seven police - mai, who Conduct them by a strap, only ktting them loose when wishfng to pur- sue an evil -doer. ONTARIO BANK'S CLAIM.

The domestic troubks of the Lynchs were aired in the Police Court on Sat- urday morning last, when Mrs. Lynch had, her husband before the court for assault, and was granted an order of protection by Magistrate Denison. Up to that time the parties lad been liv- ing together at 571 King street west, but after leaving the court Mrs. Lynch re- turned to her mother's house at 85 Wal- nut avenue, taking the two children with her, while her huaband went to the Mercer street address.

Butler, Pa., Oct. 6. -An explosion in No. 1 cupola of the Standard Steel Com- pany here late tonight caused the death of four men, fatally injured twenty and seriously injured ten others. The large wheel plant, 150 by 100 feet, was de- molished, causing a loss estimated at $100,000. The 'condition &A the thirty men in- jured is pitiable. The features or a majority are mutilated beyond recogni- tion. The hot metal was showered over themcausing horrible injuries, and at nedniglit the physicians attending them said that at least twenty would die. The explosion was caused by the up- setting of e metal pot in the cupola, which contained 5,000 pounds of molten metal ready for casting. A span in the pot broke, allowing the liquid iron to spill over the wet sand. An explosion followed so quickly that none of the workmen in the building had a chance to escape. Streams of the burning metal poured out on the workmen: some of whom • were engulfed and literally cooked. Twenty men near the cupola, had every shred of clothing blown off by the force of the explosion. Many were buried ander the wreckage, and were not rescued for an hour after the cams- , trophe.

Of the twelve occupants of the house only one, little Aaron Ornstein, aged four, escaped injury, and he was saved scatheless owing to his father's action in holding hiui in his arms when he leaped from it third -storey window on to the flat roof of the kitchen. The two Isaac girls who followed him in the Leap were less fortunate, for the roof gave way beneath there' and they fell through it to the groundbeneath. The origin of the fire is a mystery. P. 0.

Greenfeld is as very heavy man and hia feet were fearfully lacerated on Ilia broken glass, one foot being ripped open from end to end until the bones protruded. P. O.

He then required her to leave the car and go to the immigration detention room. There she was further questioned, and the autocrat in buttons ordered her de- portation: In vain she plead•ed that her daughter in Buffalo would take care of her, and that she was in no danger of becoming a charge upon the public. No argument availed.

Woman Took her Way of Getting Satisfaction for Slanders. Dunkirk, Oct, 7. -In the presence of hundreds of Saturday night e,hoppers on Ent Third street last night, Mrs, M. Davis, wife of a druggea of this city, undertook to deliver to David Salisbury a horsewhipping which rese believed he had merited by. alleged re- marks passed about her, Mrs. Davis is a tall and. muscular woman, and she wielded the whip with a strength that made it uncomfortable for Salisbury. Fully a dozen strokes landed on his face and head before the affair Wil44 brought to a sudden close by Mrs. Davis falling over it hydrant. Salisbury is a painter and lives on Railroad avenue. He beat a hasty retreat after his assailant had fallen over the hydrant. Mrs. Davis had left her home pre- pared to deliver the punisament which she thought Salisbury had merited. She carried the whip concealed under her wraps, and, taking her station on Third street near Leonard street, waited for Salisbury to come up the street. She asked if he was Mr. Salis- bury, and upon being informed that he was, started to perform her task. The cause of the whipping is report- ed to be remarks made by Salisbury. These alleged remarks are said to have been repeated to Mrs. Davis by a friend, whom sho believed to be reli- eble. She was very much angered over the reports that reached her ears and thought that the only method of redress open to her was to administer the punisbment herself. After the whipping the street assumed its usual quiet, and the pollee have taken no Fiction in the ease. No complaint Ints been made to them. • The Body of Nicholas Pander Pound Near Galt.

Y, Oct. 7. -Tette first report of the Cornell expedition to the Assyro- Babylonian Orient has just been received by Professor Sterrett, its organizer. Th. report says that the principal sites of the region explored heve been. fixed as• tronomically for the first thue, disclos- ing many defects in even the best maps. At Boghazkeur, at the suggestion of th. German excavators, the Hittite inserip. tion, one of the largest known and gen many considered quite illegible, was studied, and as a result of two and a half days' work, the greatest,part of the inscription was read.. . The pre -classic site of leonine the most important city of Southeastern Asia Minor, has been found. Much of the pottery found there is .shnilar to the early types found at Troy. Over three thousand potsherds have thus far been collected and studied. Most important are the various sherd - of Mycenaean character showing connee tion with the Greek world af the tine of Homer. in the light of the material collected it seems almost certain, say - the report, that some of the most witle spread views in regard to the earlim people of Asia Minor and their connec. tion must be modified or abandoned, a marble idol of a type hitherto found only in the Greek islands in pre -Mycenaean settlements was obtained at Angora. This link between the early inhabitants of Greece and of Asia Minor is of very great interest. e • e -FATAL FOOTBALL. Player Died From Injuries Received in Sunday Game.
