NEwBURYPoRT, Mass, Sept. IL.
An explosion of the boiler of the
Curtis Hat Factory occurred this
morning at ten minutes OF seven
O'clock. The boiler house was shat
teled completely, and the man
building much damaged.
The works had not started up at
the time of the explosions, or the loss
of life would have been much great
er. The fireman commenced firing
up at 6 O'Clock, and had just stepped
into the engine room when the eN
ploslon took place. When he lett
the boiler house there was IA press
ure of but 20 pounds of steam on
the boiler.
The boiler burst nearly at one
third its length, separating where
the sheets OF iron were rlNtted to-
gethcr as cleaniy as though they
had been cut with cold chlsel.
The roof of the building, followed
by an immense mass Of brick, was
blown into the air some eighty feet,
and one lhap, named Boyle, blown
up, fell across the collar factory,
landing upward of 100 feet from the
factory.

to move backward toward Manunka
Chunk, gathering speed as they
went. They passed through the
tunnel near the station, and ran
with full force into a loaded train.
The caboose was shivered to splin-
tiers, and the coal and cattle ears
were piled upon one another. Three
occupants III the caboOse, all cattle
dealers, were killed outright, and
others were seriously injured. The
brakeman. whose negligence caused
the terrible disaster, has disappear

NNTIONA OPINION BRADFORD VERMONT FRIDAY SEPT Is ISL

The election in California, last
week resulted in a Republican VIC
tory as overwhelming as 1t was I'M
expected. True, we had hopes OF
carrying the Governorshlp py "
close vote, but we were not prepar'
ed for the defeat of the Democratic
forces throughout the length ana
breadth of the Golden State. The
Republicans of California had made
an earnest fight, aud they nave
come ont of the contest victorious
at every point. They have elected
Newton Booth, Governor, by Il
square majority of $500, and the
returns, which are not yet all IN,
grow better and better, and itisnol
improbable the Republican MAORI
ty may reach a still higher figure.
Our first reported majority was on
~ tSlltlldltu ub iVvV tuth i"''' "
turns carried the figures up to 5000 ;
then to 1000 afterwards to 1000
and today the tootings assure us OF
$500 majority for Booth over
Haight, the present Democratic
Governor.
We ought certainly TO be content
with this victory, but our brethren
of the Pacific Slope have given us
still further cause for gtatulation.
In the last Congress we had but
one Republican Representative
while the Democrats had two.
Now the republicans hac certainly
carried two of the Congressional
Districts and there is scarcely Il
doubt of the election ola good Re
publican in the third district. In
deed, the latest dispatches assert
that all three of the Republican
candidates for Congressman aie
positively elected.

BRADFORD, FRIDAY. SEPT. is, 1911
THE MINE ELECTION.

The result of he election in Maine
is almost as surprising to the Re
publicans as it is to the Democrats,
who are indigna t with their la
mcntablc and unlocked for discom-
future.
GOV. Perham is reelected, ac.
cording to the returns we have re
cJivcd, by a majority ofnot less than
10000, if not l,C5o, in total vote
of 1O7, 600, which is lal gely in excess
of his minority on the vote of last
year.
The result is contrary to general
expectation. for the reason that since
the Republican party was formed.
never has there been a campaign
characterized by so little activity
and quietude on their part as the
one now closed, which demonstrates
beyond doubt, that that the Dem
Ocrats do not stand the ghost of q
chance to carry the State next ycal
in the contest to take place.
The contest in some places ha'
been bitter in the extreme, but tn,
result is, that after Il weeks worl
on the pant Of the Republicans, ;
victory of unprecedented magni
tude has been achieved.

More F10Uyes 0nd More Fraads.

The New York Times of Monday
presents "A new batch of figures with
ncw evidence oi fraud. These fig
urcs are taken from the transcript
of county accounts, which the May
on sent to the Supervisors, and are
limited to the first six months of the

The rents fer a.morlcs, for one

SUGAR RIVER RAILwAY..-Mon.
day, the llth inst, marked Il great
event in the railroad history of New.
Hampshire. The last blast took
place in the celebrated ledge at New.
bury, and the sunlight now follows
IA completed railway from Concord
to Sunapec Lake. The length of
the cut is 600 feet, and the greatest
height 81 feet. The number of Gu.
BIC yards of stone removed was
about $4,000.
The track is nov laid to the shore
of Sunapee Lake, three.quarters OF
"A mile beyond the ledge, to which
the cars will commence running on
Monday next. The .oadhed is also
nearly completed to Newport, where
the iron horse may be expected in
side of three weeks.
Between Newport and Claremont,
! the western terminus of the route
the bridges and Masonry are built
and portions of the grading done.
and if the weather this winter is
favorable, the coming spring will see
the Merrlmac river, Sunapee Lake
and the Connecticut connected with
iron bands, thus accomplishing what
many thousands have long hoped
for. but which, until recently. only
a few expected to see fulfilled.
That the road will do a large bu.
SincsS and prove IA profitable invest
ment, there can be no doubt. The
eaily building of the Concord and
Rochester lile VIII insure the direct
! connection OF Clarcmont with the
Rutland road, aud thus make the

jectors have always had in view, an
important link in ii grand route
