After a searching criticism of the project, he

and concluded as follows:
"You humiliate me, | accept humiliation,
but l will not become political manikin.
l am only little bourgeois, but the power

Terrific Boiler Explosion at Pitts
burg Pa.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Pittsburg, 3. The accident at the Ameri-
can iron works this morning surpassed in IA
tally anything that has occurred here for
some time.
At 10 o'clock battery of four boilers, sit
uated at the south end of the new mill of the
American iron works exploded, resulting in
the death of several men and great destruc-
of property. The boilers, which had been in
the place where they exploded about year,
had been some five years in use, and were To-
Gated midway the mill and between the spike
and nail factories, about 800 feet from the
river. The end of there factories were blown
down to the extent Of % feet and the wall
and roof of the new mill were blown down.
Bricks, timbers and portions of boilers were
thrown in all directions and to great distances
Some Of the fragments were thrown three or
four blocks. The cause of the explosion is
still mystery. The engineer had examined
the boiler guagers only few moments before
the explosion and found the water satisfac-
tory The most intense excitement prevailed
after the explosion. Great crowds gathered
at the scene of the disaster anu set to work to
remove the debris and recover the bodies of
the killed. Seven dead bodies have been ex-
tracted from the ruins, all of them more or
less mutilated and some frightfuly So
the bodies were also BACKED as though they
were burned. Two of the killed were found
many feet away in an adjoining mill. They
had been employed there, and were struck
by the flying missils. One man was bringing
load of coal to the furnace on an elevated
railway, which led over the boilers. He vas
blown upward considerable distance. The
lower jaw of one Of the workmen was found
lying some distance from the body. Five
bodies were partially buried under the ruins
and removed with hard labor. The killed
were borne away on a stretcher as fast as the
bodies were recovered. The. scenes which
followed the recognition by friends were fear
full in the extreme. The nail feeders were
out on a strike. Had they been at work the
loss of life would have been very great

The Rockland Free Press gives some in
teres.ing facts and figures in regard to the
operations of the Lime Manufacturers Asso.
Citations, organized in that city year ago.
During the eleven months from the first of
February to the last of December, l,ls5 ,44O
casks of lime have been manufactured and
shipped, and on the last day of December
there remained to the credit of the Associa-
ton, after paying the manufactures the price
fixed to cover the cost of manufacture, and all
expenses, the sum of Sl8s, 30S 81 as profits
on their shipments. 1922 cargoes had been
shipped, of which only four have been lost,
amounting in all to not over $500 casks, and
this loss was less than 4 of per cent. There
has been only one failure of persons to whom
lime has been sold, the amount due in this
case being $l400, Of which probably 80 per
cent. will be paid There has been about
100000 casks shipped, from which returns
were not received to be included in the above
statement of profits, but the profits would not
probably fall short of $4,000, making a pro-
fit Of about 100000 on the years business.
The final dividend was to be made on the lst
of February. 1t is thought that the capacity
of the kilns in the county is sufficient to pro-
duce 100000 casks of lime.
