The Berlin papers at first received the news with incredulity, but Friday's issue of the Hamel paper reiterates its assertions and furnishes, new details. It is declared that the investigation has been most thorough between 20- lungon and Linau, Russia. The pollce have searched every house along the frontier and have made a number of axrests at Memel. The Prussian au- thorities have tso-operated With the Russian police, and their activxty has caused a tremendous sensation in the entire district along both sides of the frontier. PLOT MAY HAVE SUCCEEDED. M. do Roenne, a Russian police cogn- missioner, came across the frontier Tuesday for the final search in Nun- mersatt.

A dematch from New York, ttVt"-- The great steel gas tank of the Con- solidated Gas Company at Avenue. A and 20th street, the largest of its kind in the world, collapsed at 6.80 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. It went down with a crash and a roar like a great explosion. Masonry of granite blocks and bricks to the height of 50 feet fell like a child's toy-house, and eight mil- lions of gallons of water deluged the streets, and in a ten-foot tidal wave carried death and destruction through the surrounding neighborhood; It is not yet known how many were killed and injured, but the list will he a long one. About 26 people were In- jured more or less severely. Many people were caught in the streets by the rushing waters and were hurled hither and thither, receiving injuries of various kinds. To make the same more terrible, the rushing waters tore Itp gas mains and destroyed electric light conduits, causing almost com- plete darkness. This latter was par- tially remedied, but the gas supply be- low Grand street, was almost totally ‘shut off for the night. 3 SCENE or THE WRECK. The plant of the Consolidated Gas Company occupies several blocks in the neighborhood of Avenue A and 20th street. On Avenue A, beginning at 20th street, is the five-storey brick factory of Henry Fuldner, manufac- turer of extens'on tables. The other htlf of the block is occupied by five- storey tenem;n:s, the property of the _ Gas Company, and largely tenanted‘ by its employee. Immediately back of l the factory and tenements was thel Igreat steel tank, 178 feet in (ha-i meter, and 160 feet high. Rising out of the ground and to a height of 50 feet was built a great circular wall of granite and bric , and many feet in thickness. This was filled with eight million gallons of water. The tank was supported by eight great steel up- rights, 2'sil feet high. The water in the pit fitting against the tank made " "gas tight." A gang of men were at work under a foreman, filling the pit with Water to make the first "water test.'" The great tank,witha gascapa- city of 8,600,000 cubic feet, and costing 8800,000, seemed to withstand the teat well. The representatives of the com- pany and the foreman in charge were congratulating themselves upon the success of the work. The laborers were even beginning to gather up their tools to knock off. There were many people on the streets, and crowd- ed streetcars were coming and going; 50 or more men in the meta adjoining were finishing up their t s. Then, suddenly, and without a moment's warning, came an awful crash. The men below had scarcely time to fly from beneath the telling walls ere they were picked up 2 the mass of rolling water and hurle undreds of feet away. Into the basements, the first and second floors of factories and tenemems rushed the angry floods, and with them went death and destruc- tion. SHOT THROUGH THE AIR. Workmen were shot out of the tao- tory windows and carried a block or more aatf more straws on the crest of the flood. Women were washed out of the flats from the first floors and al- most drowned. Mary Anne O'Connell and her little tour-fear-out 'sister, Cathvrine, were seated at the front window on the se- cond floor of No. 885 Avenue A. Be- fore they could turn to flee a rush of water struck them both, smashing th art through the door and carrying them half a block distant. Both were ter- ribly injured, the little one perhaps fatally. . Belfry Fuldler was taken up bodily and carried almost to 21at street. His son was also carried out of his office by the. water, but was caught in the debris, and but for the timely arrival of some workmen with axes he would have been drowned. Andrew Wendt, one of the killed, was: near the bass of the tank when it collapsed. m was caught by tho rush- ing waters and born an almost inered- ible distance. His mangled and al- most naked body was found against an elevated railroad pillar, at 2lst and First. avenue, more ttrm a block away. Building Commissoner Grady and a force of 100 men arrived within half an hour, and together with tha fire- men set to work to excavate for bodies. After some time the workmen reduc- ed the water by two feet, and it was thought the basements would be emp: lit"! by Wednesday morning.

SUED FOR $50,000. ice pgld, I TORY. The negotiations between Prussia and Belguim regarding thr neutral ter- ritory of Maresnet, about one and one- half square miles of land on the Prus- sian-Belgian frontier, are now ended. This territory of about 1,000 acres in extent, which. since 1815, has been pos- sessed- in cotnmm by the two king- doms, is oeeded by the new conven- tion to Belgium, subject to the consent of the. inhabitants. Prussia is to re- ceive compensation in the shape of part of the Belgian Hertogen forest, near Eupen. The Minor“ Production III“ War Will be -,eee. A despatch from Ottawa says :--Mr. Bell, editor of the Canadian Mining Review, estimates the value of Can- eda'e mineral production this year will be 840,000,000. Mr. Bell says that Nova Scotia is making e good tshow-) ing in gold mining. The output of) gold in that province this year willbe about 80,000 ounces, 860,000 better than last year. Mr. Bell points out about the gold mining in Nova Scotie that the work is carried on entirely with Canadian capital, and the returns up- on capital expenditure are very high. The Nova Sootia mines have not rich deposits, but instead the. ore is low grade. The facilities, however for getting out the ore are so good that the mines can be successfully worked on small capital. The output of gold in Ontario, Mr. Bell says, will be less this year than last, owing to bad man- agement of many of the mines. The recent rich strike in the Mikado mine in the Lake of the Woods district in- dicatas the presence of rich stringers In the. mine, but the property has been paying dividends hitherto on compara- tively low grade ore. K Missionaries of Three Nation- Haunted by Til-Me. J. Fleming, an English missionary, has been killed by natives and soldiers at Tsing-Ping, 90 miles east of Kuei- Yong. The mission house was raided and burned down. There has been no attempt to punish at the hands of the mandarins. TlED TO BEDPOST AND ROASTED A French missionary has been burn- ed to death at Swatow. The mission was attacked, and Catholic crosses and altars destroyed by a mob of a thon- trand Christian-haters. All escaped to the mountains but the French priest. The fleeing women were not pursued, as the priest stood bis ground. He was tied to the bedpost and the house set on fire, the missionary being consum- ed in Ibo flames. At Sho-Tung soldiers raided the German Lutherun mission. They told the missionaries it they moved out they .would not he molested. One Freimuth told them to do their worst. Ttray ran Freimuth through the body and threw him into a creek. He crawled away in the night, and was taken care of by a friendly native un. til his death. The Great Bfllllll ankln- Panto: I.
