When arrested he had a grip which had been stolen from a store in Buffalo on Saturday night, along with about $300 worth of goods. Chief Parnell, of St. Catharines, went to Buffalo to bring him back. The prisoner first gave the name of Stanley, but admitted this was not his rigbt name. He took the name of Stanley because it was a "higher name" than his own, which is Kennedy. He said the clothes which he discarded here were those given him by the asylum au- thorities at Brockville. Tae had been en inmate of the asylum at Brockville for six years, and had also spent 18 months in the Ogdensburg, N. Y., asylum. He said he was born in Chicago, but his mother now resides in Kingston. Asked how he came to leave the POWDER ILL BLOWN UPe EXPLOSION NEAR TWEED SHAT- TERED WINDOWS IN TOWN. Wei knien Made Escape—Saw Nitric Acid Vat Boil Over and Fled— Buildings Blown to Atoms—Loss is Heavy. Tweed despatch: A terrific explosion which broke well nigh every window in town, and caused scenes of excite- ment, occurred a mile east from here shortly after seven this morning when the powder mills of the Ontario Pow- der Company, comprising front twelve to fifteen buildings, were utterly des- teoyed. It is fortunate there was no loss of life. The men in the works had only been at their occupation a few min• utsa when one of the big vats of ni- tric acid was observed to boil over, owing to the fact that the extreme cold weather congealed the nitro-glycerine, and it entered the mixer and caused the nitric acid to boil and pour over the floor, thus setting the building on fire, • The mixers, seeing the danger, ran through the works calling to the men to run for their lives. The men needed no second warning, but rush- ed to places -of safety, many of them in their shirt sleeves, and as the ther- mometer registered well below zero, many of them had ears and fingers frozen. There was considerable of a panic in the town for a little while until some of the powder makers arrived with the intelligence that all hail been saved. As it is, there is con: siderable inconvenience in town, if not suffering, as, with all the win- dows broken, and the thermometer much below zero, it is impossible to keep the houses warm. Much perishable foodstuff has been frozen in the stores, and rendered ab- solutely useless, the plate glass fronts hating been smashed. 'Business is practically suspended, and will be for some days. The churches of the town are also without windows, and as the glass is , somewhat hard to replace, there will not likely be services next Sunday. The factory of the Steel Trough and Machine Co., which is situated a short distance away from the powder mills, had its big chimney blown down, as well as the glass broken. Across Stoco Lake, a distance of six or seven miles, is the little village of Stoco. There was much damage done to window. `there, and at Madoo, 19 miles da rl tt t'1 dire some plate glass fronts`.el, rr tet" b dken. • The buildings of the Powder Com- pany were most of them completely blown to atoms. The worst explosion took place in the building where the' blasting gelignite cartridges are made. The company had just started the manufacture of this powerful explos- ive, having installed a lot of expen- sive machinery in December last. This explosive is 50 per cent. more power- ful than ordinary dynamite. The loss on plate glass and other glass in the town is estimated at over $1 000. The company's loss will be $25,000 at the lowest estimate. was hidden in the crow's nest into the flames, which had by this time burned through the forward deck. There were nine stowaways on the ship, and were eaught inthe forward holds ,band •rned to death without a chance of rescue. After the fall of the mast the fire ivas partially elteeked, but the poi- sonous fumes .ofothe fusel oil made fight- ing the fire almost impossible. The ship was loaded with fusel oil, matches, rags, willow ware and other in- flammable material. e•® INDIAN BOYS KILLED. Victims of Middlemiss Tragedy From tho Grand River Reserve. A Glencoe despatch: It is now believed that the terribly mutilated bodies found on the Wabash tra.eks near Middlemiss a week ago were -those of two Indian lads. Mr. McGugan, of Talbotville, now says two Indian boys stayed at his place about ten days ago. One was aged thirteen and the other fourteeen, and gave their names as Reuben Lewis and Willie Jacobs, and said they came from the Brantford reserve. Mr. McGugan describes the clothing worn by the boys most minutely. He says that they wore sweaters, and mentions a safety pin used by one of the boys to pin up his cap. As this is a close description of the clothes found on the track. there is no longer any doubt that the bodies are those of the missing boys, who were probably stealing a ride on a. freight train and lost thein• footing. INSANE MOTHER'S DEED. Dashed Baby's Brains Out on the Icy Ground. Moncton, N. B., Feb. 10.—While in a fit of insanity Mrs. Thomas V. Doucett took the life of her two-year-old child by dashing its brains out, and was in the act of killing another little one when discovered by the family. The woman was arrested immediately after. Suffering from a fractured rib, sustained in an accident a few days ago, Mr. Don- eett put up a desperate struggle to sub- due his violent wife, as she attempted to carry out her three-year-old child and dispose of it in the same horrible way she. had killed the first by dashing its head upon the icy ground. She had the child in her arms when her husband awoke, having just taken it from the cradle, and after a hard fight he, with the other children, was able to get the little one away from her, and the woman was taken to the police sta- tion. under my eyes ;s if something were Brockville Asylum, he said he "just haunting me." . walked away."

The poli- sical tension is slackening, although the Progressists refuse to join in the con- struction of the Cabinet which. Admiral Ferreira do Amaral is forming froth all the monarchial groups, because the Con- servatives are in predominance. The hitch, however, is likely to be straight- ened out and a temporary union of all the monarchial elements- attained for the purpose of getting the country back on a constitutional basis, "ending agita- tion and restoring tranquility," as ex- pressed by the leaders. Senhor Bernadino Machado, leader of the peaceful wing of the Republicans. agrees to a truce, provided that his friends now under arrest are liberated, freedom of the press restored, and the elections ordered. Admiral do Amaral, the devoted friend of the Queen, who assumes power, is committed to the re- versal of the entire policy of the dic- tatorship , the abolition of repressive measures, and the restoration of "the old liberal monarchy." On Saturday Government by decree will be withdrawn, amnesty ordered political offenders not implicated in deeds of violence, and the embargo on the press raised. Franco's downfall is complete. He re- cognized that it was impossible to saddle the youthful King at the outset of his reign with the stern programme involv- ing the immediate banishment and de- portation of several hundred political offenders. to which he had committed himself if be retained office. He told a friend that the assassination of the King ended his political career. Practically no headway has been made in unravelling the plot of wbieh the murder of the King and Crown Prince were but one step. The police now admit that the throe men arrested were not involved. Every one of the desperate band, except the three men killed. escaped in the confusion. The identification of these three throws but little light upon their connections.

Pittsburg, Pa., Feb 10. — Pittsburg's first leap year marriage ended in a tragedy this afternoon, when John Hull, aged 47, a well-to-do book-keeper, on the North Side, put a bullet through his brain just before the time for him to leave work for home. Hull had been employed as head book- keeper for a big wholesale twine house for a number of years. [lis wife was a pretty milliner of the North Side. They were married in the day alter New Year's, Mrs. Heil laughingly claiming the credit of being the first woman of the North Side to take advantage of the leap year prerogative.
