A ' FATAL EXPLOSION
Two Men Almost Blown to
Pieces.
WERE THAWING OUT DYNAMITE

Fresno, D-c. 128. The explosion of a
22-pound Im'x f dynamite yreterday near
Big Sandy. 40 tnilep from Fresno, will
probably ret-uh in tliedeatli of two men.
O. C. Grider had both liandd blown off
and was perioUi-ly injured internally.
An unknown man hud one arm torn off
and was terribly lurned.y The men were
thawing out fl nauiile oy-r a stove.
Grider has a wife and three children.
A Human Skull Kud.
Santa Rosa, Dec. 28. Quite a sensa
tion is being caused by the finding of the
Skull of a human being in the. bed of
Santa K'fsa creek, near the flouring mills
here. The condition of the pkull indi
cates that the pen-on to whom it be
longed has been dead less than two
years. Phyfcicians who examined it say
there is no doiibt that the person has
not been dead longer than that. There
has been much speculation over the
ghastly find. Deputy Sheriff Dougherty
has possession of it, and many have been
to see it. About two years ago, a China
man named Wing Lee was murdered in
a gambling house by a Chinaman named
Ah Sam. Sam fled out of the back door
just as the officers appeared in front, and
nas never seen since. It was believed
at the time by many that friends of Lee
had killed Sam out of revenge and hid
his body. Every effort was made to find
Sam, but with no results. It is now be
lieved that the skull found is that of
Sanj who, it is believed, was murdered,
his head cut off and thrown into the
stream, while the body was buried else
where. Tbe Missing Ve-el.
San Francisco, Dec. 28. Although
the schooner John F. Miller was sighted
only a few days ago 10 miles west of the
Farrallones, 'she has not since been
heard of, and fears are expressed that
she was driven oul to eea again. Pro
Tieions are likel to fall short, and it is
not unlitely that more or less suffering
will be caused by her delay. As the
Miller was in a disabled condition when
sighted, there is no reason for uneasiness.
The coal-laden bark Sea King was re
ported K) miles north of Point Reyes on
Tuesday last. Nothing has been heard
heard of her, although she has bad am
ple time to reach port.
Another vessel, the ship J. B. Brown,
has not passed in. The belief prevails,
however, that they will all come in.
China's Commissioners Preparing: to
Start.
Shanghai, Dec. 28. Peace Commis
sioner Chang Ying Huen has left Tien
Tain for Che Foo, and is expected here
January 6th, when he will join Peace
Commissioner Sbao Yoo Tien and go to
Tokio. Shao Yoo Tien was formerly
governor of Formosa, and offered a re
ward of about $12,000 for the destruc
tion of a big Japanese warship and for
the capture or destruction of the smaller
Japanese warships, $6,000. He offered
a schedule of rewards to be paid to the
Chinese who took Japanese soldiers,
dead or alive. For the head of a Japan
ese officer, 200 taels were offered and for
the head of a Japanese private 100 taels.
j On this ground it has been asserted the
t Japanese would refuse to receive him as
m- a peace commissioner.
Panto at Klo Janeiro.
New York, Dec. 28. A special to the
World from Montevideo says Rio Janeiro
is reported to be in a panic. Troops re
fuse to leave theVclty for the South.
President Moraes has discovered that
the army is devoted to Piexoto. The
principal officers refuse to assume com
mand to take the .field in Grande do Sul
and the whole country seems on the
brink of rebellion again. More thau 200
officers haTe been arrested, and are im
prisoned in the surrounding forts under
a heavy guard. It is rumored that an at
tempt will be made by insubordinate mil
itary leaders to rescue their comrades
from prison. Precautions have been
taken to prevent this. President Mo
raes is afraid to act energetically or to
order Piexots's arrest, it is said, fearing
to precipitate a serious conflict.
China Violated. Her Promise.
London, Deu. 28. A Peking dispatch
says that, in accordance with the peti
tion of the governor of Shantung asking
the emperor to punish Admiral Ting,
the taotai, Lung, and General Wei, an
edict has been issued ordering the im
mediate arrest and punishment of these-
officials.
A Shanghai dispatch says that the
United States government has instruct
ed Minister -Den by to demand satisfac
tion from the Chinese government for
having violated a promise given in re
gard to the surrender of Japanese spies
at Shanghai
Cheated the Government.
Fort Smith, Ark., Dec. 28. John M.
Taylor, 60 years old and blind, was yes
terday sentenced to five years in the
Detroit house of correction for perjury
and presenting false claims against the
government. For 20 years he haa been
drawing a pension of $72 per month, for
total blindness alleged to have been
caused by a gunshot wound received in
the army. A wound on his breast was
caused by blister plasters, and five ex
amining boards passed - it for gunshot
wounds. Tbe blindness was the result
of sickness contracted two years a iter
the war. Taylor pleaded guilty, and
claimed that the fraud was planned by
pension attorneys. He has drawn
$18,000 fraudulently from the govern
ment. '
Claims He Is Persecuted.
Chicago, Dec. 28. Charles K. Hardin,
acquitted last October of stealing $35,000
from the Adams Express Company, was
arrested today on a fugitive warrant,
charging him with breaking into a house
in, Kansas City in which he claimed his
wife was concealed. Hardin declares
his recent arrests are the result of per
secution by the Wells-Furgo Express
Company. He says after his acquittal
at Nashville the Adams Express Com
pany filed a suit against the Wei Is-Fargo
Express people for $35,000, and as he is
an important witness the latter company
desires to prevent his testifying in the
caje when it is tried in New York. His
claims of persecution are laughed at by
the police.
A Blaze at Buffalo.

.Another Chance for Spplnger.
San Francisco, Dec. 2S. V. L. Ep
pinger, convicted of forgery, eenteiu-ed
to fourteen years and recently granted a
new trial by the pupreu.e court on the
ground of wrongful conviction, has again
been indicted by the grand jury for ut
tering a fictitious check. The tuuteme
court held on appeal that no forgery was
committed, because the name on tiie
check uttered was fictitious, hence the
present indictment.

you give your family the benefits
which its use bestows?
In composition, in healthfulness,
in flavor, or in economy.
Its success has called out a lot of
