A TELEGRAM from White Plains, N. Y, Of the
Sd inst. says: At tho opening of the Greeley
will case, Judge Hart stated that he had re-
ceived a note from Miss Ida Greeley, which
had been approved by her sister, in which they
begged to withdraw from the contest, which
their opponents were determined to wage over
their fathers grave. The contestants then
proceeded to prove the will made by Mr..
Greeley in 1871, without further opposition.
1t was stated that Mr.. Greeley left property
estimated to be worth S206. 900, which. with
the estate of Mrs. Greeley, would mou to
s225, 900. -. -Four boilers in the American Iron
Works, Pittsburgh, exploded on the Sd inst.
with frightful effect. The conclusion was SO
tremendous that three sections of the building
were completely shattered, the roof being
carried entirely away and scattered in all
directions. There we're about 5000 laborers
employed in the mill at the time Of the ex-
plosion, and for a time it seemed as though a
very large number had been either killed or
wounded by the steam or by fragments Of the
boilers that were sent flying in all directions.
Seven persons were killed outright, and over
thirty seriously injured, many of whom will die.
