The explosion of an acetylene gas tank in the basement of the Granger ward meeting house, eight miles southwest of Salt Lake City, at 7:45 Tuesday night during the Joint session of the Mutual Improvement associations, wrecked the building and killed Miss Nellie Mackay, 21 years of age, while she was singing a sacred solo. Twenty-fiv- e others In the audience were more or less seriously injured. Miss Mackay's body was taken out from under the organ, which had been blown to the celling. She was standing at the instrument, singing, when the explosion occurred. While Miss Mackay was singing If Theres Sunshine In Your Heart the lights commenced to grow dim. Suddenly there waa a flickering of the lights. Lambert Bowden and hls cousin WTllard Bowden, who had charge of the building, rushed to the basement to fix the lights. Lambert Bawden opened the door Into the basement on the east side of the building as the explosion occurred. He was knocked down and stunned. The explosion could be heard for several blocks and the bluldlng was shaken to Its foundations. The falling of timbers, window glass and debris came like a crash and aroused the entire neighborhood. The floor heaved upwards. The audience were thrown from their seats among the falling debris and the cries of the Injured rang out above the noise and tumult. Every window and door was blown from its hinges. A mad rush followed to get out of the building. The people trampled over each other, were knocked down and jammed out the doors and windows. The roof was lifted from the sides and gables and the shingles torn off. The walls and gables were twisted and wrenched about three feet out of plumb. Part of the celling fell In. One gable is resting against the roof, which is hanging two or three feet over the east end of the church. The stove was bolted to the floor, but the top waa blown off.

Gray-coateRussians, patient, uncomplaining, strong of soul, cling doggedly to positions against an enemy whose attacks go to the very point of For forty-eigInsanity and desperation. hours the Japanese have not eaten. They are starving and exhausted, but Field Marshal Oyama himself ha told them that the city will fall and the slaughter stop on Friday, and their confidence In their leader Jncreased their strength tenfold.
