PITTSBURGH BOILER EXPLOSION.
seven Hem killed and Thirty Wounded.

Seven Hen KILLED and Thirty Wounded.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. S.-Four boilers in
the American Iron Works of Messrs. Jones
& Laughlins, jim Brownstown, Twenty
fourth Ward, exploded at about 10 o clock
this morning. The explosion was so tre-
mendous that three sections of the building
/ and some fifteen feet of each were carried
entirely away and scattered in all direc-
tiOns. HH
At O'Clock a battery of boilers situated
at the upper or south side of what is known
as the new mill of the American Iron
Works exploded, with terrific report and
resulted in the death of several men and
great destruction of property. The boilers,
which had been in place for about year,
although they had been some five years
in use, were located about midway between
the ends of the new mill and were placed
between the spike and nail factories, about
three hundred feet from the river. They
lay facing the south and this seemed TO be
the direction in which the force of the ex-
plosion principally expended itself, al
thought the batteries were completely an
nihilated and the destruction was COM
plete at the rear and OH all sides, as well as
in front. The ends of the spike and nail
factories were blown to the extent of about
twenty-five feet and the wall and roof of
the new mill Were blown away. Portions
of the boilers and brick and timbers from
the ruined buildings were thrown in all
directions and to a great distances, some of
the fragments being thrown Il distance of
three or four squares. IEHatt =.
The cause of the explosion is a mystery.
The engineer had examined the boiler
gauges only five minutes before the eXplO-,
sion and found the water satisfactory.
Following the explosion a most intense
excitement prevailed. Great crowds i'm
mediately gathered at the scene of destruc-
tiou and set to work to remove the debris.
Seven dead bodies have been eXtricated
from the ruins, all of which were more or
less inutlated, some to a frightful extent.
The bodies were also blackened to
degree, us though burned. Two of the
killed were found many feet away from
the accident iii an adjoining mill. They
had been employed there and were struck
by lying missiles. One man was bringing
coal to the furnace of the battery on an
elevated railway which lay over the
boilers, when the explosion occurred. He
was just over the battery and was blown
upward u considerable distance. The
lower jaw OF one Of the wOrkmen was
found lying considerable distance from
the body. Five bodies were partially
buried under the ruins and were removed
with hard labor. The killed were borne
away OH stretchers as fast as recovered and
the scenes which followed their Fecogni-
ton by friends was painful in the eX-
treme.
The hail feeders were out on strike at
the time Of the eXplotion. Had they been
at work the loss of life must have been
very great. These iron works are the
most extensive of the kind in the country,
covering some seven acres i'll area and enl-
plOying $500 workmen.

MARCH.
~ WV. CULLEN BRYANT.

me stormy March has come at last
with wind, and cloud, and changing skie.
near the rushing Of the blast
That through the snowy valley flies.
An. passing few are they who speak,
Wild, stormy month in praise Of thee:
Yet, though thy winds are loud and bleak
Thou art welcome month TO me.
For thou, TO northern lands, again
The glad and glorious sun do-t bring.
And thou hast Joined the gentle train.
And wear'st the gentle name Of spring.
And in thy reign of blast and storm,
Smiles many long, bright. sunny day.
when the changed winds are soft and warm.
And heaven PUTS on the blue Of May.
Then sing aloud, the gushing riIis,
In JOY that they again are free,
And, brightly ieaping down the hills,
Renew their journey to the sea.
The years departing beauty hide.
of wintry storms the snllen threat;
But in thy sternest frown abides
A look Of kindly promise yet.
Ihou bring'st the hope Of those calm skies,
And that soft time of sunny showers,
when the wide bloom, on earth that lies,
Seems Of brighter world than ours.

Madrid.

Change of Ministry again In the morn
ing telegram we read, forty thousand
Carlists in the field" in the afternoons tele-
gram, " the Ministry have resigned" We
wonder if there is any connection between
tbese two items. We wonder if the Minis
try about to come in will hold on as long,
even, as the one just gone out. We Won
der if the gentlemen in Madrid who take
turns at the helm 80 frequently, get their sa-
laries promptly. If they pay up there, we
can send over from this country lot OF Of
fice-bolders warranted to hold on as long
as the pap flows.
About two weeks ago it was said the
Carlists had ten thousand men in the field
now the number is placed at forty Thousand.
This can only be accounted for on the the
o-v that all those items which have been
published about assertions from the Re-
publican army, and good many more
which have not been published, are true.
It begins to look as though all the Repub-
lican armies that are marched against the
Carlists, just melt away without any par
ticular reason and are never heard OF any
more, while the Cariist forces have mystic
riously acquired prodigious accessions
about the same time.
This looks again as though the people of
Spain we're order-loviug people at heart,
who, though submitting for the moment
to the present despotism Of Free Masonry
and Infdelity, take the first occasion to 60
where their affections call them. AT that
rate the blood stained farce will soon be
over. The marauding knaves who are now
playing such fantastic tricks of govern
ment will get their deserts as traitors, but
how will they ever get their deserts fol
their impudent Dissertation of the sacred
name of Republicanism

diotion, to which is attached plenary indul-

conditions, will be given after mass. We pre-
sumo tho Rev. Father will have something TO
say, ON this OCCASION about his travels in his ma

hope, he eau BIO prevailed on to give o series OF
lectures, at on carly date, concerning his OBJ

In Germany and Switzerland, Bismarck

They are endeavoring to wipe out the
Church. There is only this difference IN
the modus. Having learned by experience
that the blood of Martyrs is the seed OF the

stratagem of fines and impoverishment.
They have only to look at the history OF

Chow to Get Married"

This title of late Catholic Tract, was forci-
bly, brought to mind by an occurrence in the
Sixth District this week.
On Wednesday morning, the Bird inst, at II
O'Clock, the old Bouligny Church of st. Ste
phen, was the scene of peculiarly Catholic
and happy ceremony.
At that early hour the venerable edilice was
approached by q line of nearly dozen elegant
carriages, conveying the participants and at
tendants of the ceremonial. The church was
already pretty we'll flled-and before the close
of the exercises became quite crowded-by an
assemblage, from very distant districts, of
many of our most estimable citizens, who
gathered there to witness, in its completest
form, the comforting by the church of the
Great Sacrament "-Matrimony-upon N.
Fitzgerald Dunn, Esq, aud Nina, the youngest
daughter of Gen. A. G. Blanchard, all of this
city. The Rev. Father Andrieux, c. NJ, per-
formed the marriage ceremony and said the
Nuptial Mass after which the Rev. Father
Abbott, c. NJ, gave an able exposition of the
Church's doctrines, concerning the sanctity and
the inviolability of the Holy Sacrament of Ma
trimony in contradiction to the cold and for
NAL ciril contract OF so-called marriage, and the
sacrilegious custom Of divorce which is toler-
ated by the non-CatholiC denominations and
by the infdel people of the world at large.
A noteworthy and most admirable feature Of
