TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF
LIFE.

TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF
LIFE.
HUDSON, Nov. ia terrible boiler explo-
sion occurred in Storms paper mill at Catskill,
at II IL o'clock this forenoon. The building
was completely demolished and several lives
lost. 1t is impossible to tell at present the full
extent of the disaster. 1t is known that Mrs
George Brondow, wife of the engineer, was in
stantly killed. The engineer and fireman can
not be found, aud it is believed that they met
an instantaneous death and are buried in the
ruins. The explosion not only destroyed the
mill, but shattered various buildings in the i'm
mediate vicinity. The ice houses OF Hiram Van
Steinburgh, adjoining, caught fire ard were
destroyed. 1t is likely that the loss of life may
be greater than was at first anticipated, as in
who are among the missing. Further partic-
ularS are expected.

New YORK, Nov: 15.-The Erie Vanderbilt
quarrel is again before Judge Barnard, of the
Supreme Court. During the Erie war of last
spring Fisk and Gould repudiated the arrange
ment under which the fight of 1868 was set
tied, and sought to recover the money paid out
hereunder. Among other suits brought was
one to recover nearly $5000,OOO paid in cash
and bonds for shares of the company held by
Vanderbilt. The suit was brought on the
ground that this arrangement was perfected
by fraudulent conspiracy with the officers of
the Erie company. The relief demanded was
special, making the case an equity suit. Ar
guments were made on the question of a jury
trial and the decision reserved.
