MYSTERIOUS FRISCO EXPLOSION
KILLS FOUR AN
Fire Following Upheaval Cre
mates Several Alive In
Ruins.
MANY THINK IT
DUE TO DYNAMITE.
Others Believe That a Leak In
Street Gas Main May Be
the Cause.
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. Four
aro dead and three seriously Injured
as a result of a terrific explosion
which was followed by fire early to
day in the grocery store of John
Sweeny at 270G Diamond street. The
dead are:
John Sweeney,
Mrs. John Sweeney,
Ella Sweeney, aged ten.
Anton DIssmeyer, Jr., aged two.
The Injured are:
Miss Mary DIssmeyer ( may die).
Fred Sweeney,
Anton DIssmeyer, Sr.
Sweeney, the proprietor of the gro
cery, lived with his family in a flat
above the store and adjoining the
latter was the saloon of S. F. John
son, with the DIssmeyer family in the
flat above it. The store and saloon
were closed and the occupants were
asleep when the explosion occurred.
So terrific was the force that Fred
Sweeney, aged 25, and who was
sleeping near the window was thrown
through the window and over the
roof of a one-story building adjoin
ing. The grocery partly collapsed
and immediately the fire broke out.
Before the engines arrived, the
wrecked building and the adjoining
saloon were wrapped with flames.
Anton Dissmyer awoke to find him
self almost surrounded by flames. Ho
carried his wife to the street, but she
was so severely burned that recovery
is said to be doubtful. DIssmeyer
though severely burned himself,
plunged Into the building to get his
two-year old son. The father unablo
to find his child was forced to flee
for his own life.
The entire Sweeney family perlsh
'ed excepting Fred.
What caused the explosion Is a
mystery. There was no gas in the
building and but five gallons of kero
sene was in the grocery.
The only theories are of dynamite
or an accumulation of gas from a
possible leak in the street's main.

(Special to The Times.)
COQUILLE, Ore., June 27. Ac
cording to well verified statements
here, Holland Anderson of - Marsh
field, who was convicted a few days
ago of manslaughter for shooting
Mrs. E. S. Gordon of North Bend,
will never live to serve the sentence
of five years Imposed by Judge Ha
milton. Anderson is declared to be
a physical wreck and that he'eannot
possibly live more than a year.
The condition of "Mazook's"
health was not known until the lat
ter part pf his confinement in the
county jail here. His lungs are
practically gone as the result of an
abscess for which he was operated
on a few years ago, he has kidney
trouble and Dr. Walter Culln has
been administering to him for heart
trouble. Much of the trouble Is due
to "Mazook's" manner of living as at
first glance ho appears to be a big
strong, healthy fellow.
Those familiar with his condition
declare that a few months of prison
life will end his career.
Sheriff Gage will start today with
Anderson for the State penitentiary,

Yesterday's Results.
At Marshfield Marshfield, 1; Co
quille, 3, (Thirteen Innings).
At North Bend North Bend, 3;
Bandon, 7.
In one of tho best games that has
ever been seen on the local grounds,
Marshfield lost to Coquille yesterday
by a score of 3 to 1. It took thirteen
Innings to decide it and every one
felt that he had a run for his money.
Coquille won because they outplay
ed Marshfield. Several of tho Marsh
field players had an "off" day, both
at the bat. and In the field. Tho Co
quille team did better stick work and
better fielding than did Marshfield.
Gardiner, Coqullle's new pitcher,
made a hit for himself in his first
game and will doubtless be the hero
of the day in the county seat town
today. In thirteen Innings, he
struck out twenty-two men and al
lowed but four hits. Peralto, who
caught for Coquille, held up his end
of the game In good shape, holding
Gardiner well, doing some good base
throwing and getting three hits out
of five times at bat.
Thelle pitched a fairly good game.
While It was not up to his previous
standard, he had to work against
odds, having men on the bases most
of tho time. Ho had an off day for
fielding and batting. Rutledgo did
fairly well, especially when tho con
dition of his hand was considered.
That he held Thelle as well as ho
did and threw bases as well as he
did surprised his friends who were
awaro of the handicap under which
ho was working.
Marshfleld's one and only run was
largely due to Owens base running
and was secured In the first Inning.
Owens was first man up and walked.
He went to second on Thelle's sacri
fice, McKeown bunted and beat It
out. Owens had a big lead for third
and Lorenzo's anxiety to head him
off resulted In a wild throw. While
Collier backed up Howell fairly well,
Owens beat the ball to tho home
plate. McKeown meanwhile stole
second but his efforts were In vain
as Bryan and Goldlo both pounded
the air and retired the side.
Coquille scored their first run In
the second. Howell was hit by Thelle
and went to third on a hit by Col
lier to centerfield. Thelle started to
cover the third and In endeavoring
to shut Collier off at second threw
wild, allowing Howell to score and
leaving Collier on third. Paul and
Hartley struck out.
Neither sldo scored again until
tho first half of tho thirteenth. Pe
ralto got first on Thelle's fumbling
his grounder and stole second.
Novlns went out on a fly to center.
Peralto was caught while trying to
steal home, allowing Thomas to go
to first on fielder's choice. Thomas
stole second and Howell landed safe
ly on tho first bag on fielder's
choice, McKeown dropping tho throw
to third, A wild throw by Thelle to
a base allowed Thomas to score.
Collier got first on fielder's choice,
which availed nothing, and in tho
melee Howell scored. Collier was
caught by Rutledgo whilo trying to
steal homo.
In MnrslRfcld's half of tho thir
teenth, It looked for a minute as
though a flnul rally might savo tho
day, ovon after Butler and Chandler
bad struck out. Merchant landed
for a pretty single and Owons did
Ukowlso. It was a long clianco for
Pitcher Thelle to tlo tho scoro or

VESSELS
First Time That Government
Vessels Have Ever
Done So.
TWO TORPEDO BOATS
AND TWO DESTROYERS
Some of Them May Remain In
Bay For a Week or so Mak
ing Repairs.
For the first time in the history
of Coos Bay, vessels of the American
Navy have sailed clear up the Bay
and havo taken on coal here. The
event Is considered by many to mark
one of the most Important eras in
the development of Coos Bay as they
beliuve It Is an Indication that Coos
Bay will be made a coaling station
In tho near future and this will mean
thnt the United States War Depart
ment will give tho harbor tho attend
ant attention which will mean extra
ordinary improvements within a few
years.
The vessels, which arrived hero
Saturday night and aro still in the
Bay coaling and making minor re
pairs are the torpedo boats, Davis and
Fox, and the torpedo boat destroyers
Goldsborough and Rowan. They aro
en route south from Puget Sound and
the Columbia river.
Tho vessels are under telegraphic
Instructions from the United States
War Department to report at Hum
boldt Bay before July 4th, but as
two or three of the boats have to un
dergo considerable repairs, It may
be that they will havo to remain hero
a week or so. The Davis and prob
ably one other will leave not later
than Wednesday morning.
Each vessels will take on about
twonty-flvo tons of coal. They wero
coaled at Astoria, using Australian
coal. Tho Australian coal was far
from satisfactory and Impeded their
tlmo down tho coast. They had to
pay $10 per ton for It and the Coos
Bay coal is being put aboard at $4
per ton. Tho engineers declare that
the Coos Bay coal Is much better ap
pearing fuel than the Australian coal
but of course they will not be ablo
to make any report on Its value as a
fuel to the vessels until after It has
been given a trial.
If tho Coos Bay coal proves satis
factory, It will probably mean that
the government will rely on It for
fuel for their vessels on the North
west Pacific coast at least. With,
this condition, It will bo necessary
for them to have the bar and harbor
so that all of their vessels can move
with ease In and out over the bar
and through tho harbor at any and
all times.
Hundreds of Coos Bay people vis
ited the boats yesterday and today,
both North Bond and Marshfield men
showing tho officers and men every
courtesy possible.
Will Play Rail.
Tho sailors on the vessels havo a
baseball team and havo arranged to
play the North Bend team an exhibi
tion Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. No
admittance will be charged. The
sailors saw North Bend play Sunday
and aro confident that they can do
feat them.
DELAY DREDGER PLANS.
Chamber of Commerce Waiting to
Hear From Largo Interests.
Owing to tho delay In receiving re
plies from tho largo corporations
which havo the greatest Interests at
stake In the Improvement of Coos
Bay bar and channel, tho Chamber
of Commerce's efforts to securo sub
bcrlptlonB for tho $25,000 or $50,000
necessary to secure tho dredger aro
held back. Nothing was done at Sat
