PITTSBURGH BOILER EXPLOSION.

seven men Killed ami Thirty wuuutic,i.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 3.-Four boilers in
the American Iron Works of Messrs. Jones
d Laughlins, in Brownstown, Twenty
fourth Ward, exploded mt 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 dircc-
tions.
Alto O'Clock battery of boilers situated
at the upper or south side of what is known
rs 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 q year,
although they had been some five years
N 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 10 be
the direction in which the force of the eX-
plosion principally expended itself, al
thought the batteries were completely an
initiated and the destruction was COM
plete at the rear and on 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
directions and to great distances, some of
the fragments being thrown distance of
three or four squares.
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 inn
mediatey gathered at the scene of destruc-
ton and set to work to remove the debris.
Seven dead bodies have been extrieated
from the ruins, all of which were more Oh
less mutilated some to frightful extent
The bodies were also blackened to q
degree, rs though burned. Two of the
killed were found many feet away from
the accident in an adjoining mill. They
had been employed there and were struck
by nying 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 oTer the battery and was blown
upward a 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 born,

ton by friends was painful in the eX

How Whisky Killed Man in SEWER County.

SEVIERVILLE, Tenn, Feb 3, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Our neighbor-
hood was somewhat alarmed last night
bell and the screams OF the mother and
wife of John McNfahan, who lives one
mile below Sevierville. The neighbors
ralying 10 the relief of the distressed fam
ily, found the body of John McNTahan, n
lifeless corpse upon the floor, stretched out
before the fire as though man asleep
He had been for many years confirmed
drunkard, but for two years past his life
has scarcely ever been sober, and for the
last month he has been confined TO his bed
and would send for whisky by his hand
and would lay III bed and drink all he could.
Even up to the evening previous to his
death he sent and got three gallons to do
him over Sunday. About two hours be-
fore he died he went into the kitchen and
called for something to eat then returned
20 his bed room, and not being able to get
70 his bed lay down before the fire on the
floor, then called for his bottle, which was
given him by one of his work hands, this
being about sunset. His wife went TO bed,
thinking he had just dropped off to sleep,
and his mother, before she retired, went to
him and tried to awaken him, but failed
Thinking he was asleep she lay down, but
she watched him for q short time and in
the meantime discovered he was getting
his breath shorter than usual, got up and
shook him, but found he was just breath
ing, screamed 10 his wife, but before she
could pet to him he was gone. He leaves
a wife and two children and many friends
to mourn his loss.
His father died about fiue years since
and left him quite fortune and this is the
fruit thereof. SEWER.

GreenbackS Against Gold.

Mr.. Sherman's specie resumption and
free banking bill unexpectedly came to
grief in the Senate this afternoon, after
three days have been wasted on it. 1t had
been supposed that Mr.. Sherman's intlu-
ence would secure the favorable action of
the Senate on his BILL although no one had
any idea that it would go through the
House. When the motion was made this
afternoon to lay the bill on the table, Mr..
Sherman made desperate attempt to save
it, asserting that he would stake his whole
financial reputation on its merits. The
bill, however, seemed to be looked mt al
most altogether from sectional point of
view.
The opinions which appear to he gener-
ally entertained by the Western and
Southern representatives is that the meas
ure would have principally Injured to the
creditor class, i. e., the East, while it
would have been a corresponding disad-
vantage to the West and South, which re
gard themselves as the debtor class. AS Il
consequence of this feeling the votes which
killed the bill were, with only three excep-
| tons, cast by Southern and Western Sen
ators.- Wash. Car. Baltimore Sun.

CARE OF COWS IN AUTUMN.

An cnterprising farmer of Western
New York communicated to us recently
his Praetice in the management of his
cows, during the season when the grass
begins to fail. He says the great secret
of rearing and feeding stock successfully
is, to keep what you get-to save every
pound of flesh and fat that is produced.
The question lying still back of that is,
bow shall the fat and flesh be retained ?
What to do and how to do it is the
question.
Hitherto l have always commenced
feeding my cows meal in October. and
continued the regular extra feed through
November; and we made moro butter in
one Of those autumn months than ia any
"ther month Of the grazing season. /

AN IMPROMPTU WEDDING.

account of how a betrothed couple
were persuaded to anticipate the day
set for their wedding, and to have the
ceremony abruptly performed at a
party, at which they chan

in, with an eye to business he sug-
gested that if any body was present

once took the hint. The yolng man
was willing, but the maiden was
backward and would not consent.

THE HOWARD ASSOCLA-
TON.

This association which has labor
ed so effectually and done so much to
relieve the sick and ease the suffer-
ings of the dying, was originally in
stituted in 1887 1t is an institution
of nearly forty years growth. 1t had
its start first out of the direful neces-
stiles of the people Of new Orleans,
and has ever since maintained itself
as the chief nurse and censervator Of
the sick throughout the Southwest
during all season of general or epid-
emic sickness. The association was
first organized in 1887; Its original
corporators, as the New Orleans
Times informs us, were Thomas N.
Morgan, j. w. Andrews, G.
Kumsheed. J. P. Breedlovc, and P.
W"Leslie. These gentlemen, most
OF whom have since passed
away off the stage Of action, were
true philanthropists. They achieved
great deal of good in their day.
There a tradition that as far back
a, 1888 the principle which now ami
ma tes the association was realized, in
N wv Orleans by tour young men
q erks in different banking houses Of
t1at city, who combined together for
the nursing of the sick, but the dis
tinct organization was not effected
until some few years afterwards.
Since that time the Howard Associa-
ton has been an active agency Of
relief There is scarcely house in
any part Of New Orleans where the
infection penetrates but has sacred
tradition of sickness tended, of pain
assuaged, or death bed soft end,
by the ministraiions Of that grand
faterniay.
