she confides in us, tells us whatever she

tribute to say of her she is brick

Fatal. ACCIDENT.
Terrific Roller Explosion al the Tired.
egar WOrks-One Man Killed.

Terrific Ei0iier Explosion at the Tred-
egar WOrIss-One Man Killed.
This morning about ten minutes to six
O'Clock terrific boiler explosion occurred
at the Tredegar works in the room of the
drying kiln, situated at the upper end of the
blacksmith shop, by which the fireman.
Mr.. Samuel II. Saunders, was killed. De-
ceased was about fifty.two or fiity-three
years of age, resided at the corner of Sc
cond and Broad streets, and leaves wife
and several children. The drying shop in
which this explosion took place, and which
was used for drying lumber, is built Of
brick, and such was the force of
the explosion that it was almost COM
pletely demolished. There were two boil
ers in the shop. The one that exploded
and which weighed about twenty-five thou
sand pounds, forced itself distance of
about forty feet into the blacksmith-shop
carrying away everything in its course, in
Guiding steam hammer, used for heavy
forging and which might weigh five or six
tons. The fire-box of the boiler was sent
some forty yards up the river bank, and
the cylinder some distance in another di-
rection, while the mate to this was blown
into the river. The body of the fireman
was uiOWh az iSooe oCNCbtJ yatuS uintdht,
and his head was found fifty yards this
side. The windows of the car shop, oppo-
site the blacksmith shop, were battered out
by the bricks. A. large number of
bricks are said to have been
thrown on an island in the
river, which is about three hundred yards
off
From all the information we could gather,
it seems that the engineer came down to get
up steam as usual before the hands started
to work. The result of hisssad work has
been told. Had the explosion occurred an
hour and half later the work of death
would doubtless have been fearful, as
about twenty-five men and boys are
employed in the neighborhood of the course
the boiler took in coming through the
blacksmith shop. The hands in this shop
do not 60 to work until seven o'clock.
The damage to the works will probably
amount to eight or ten thousand dollars.
An inquest will be held over the remains
Of the deceased by Coroner Taylor this
evening.
The explosion was heard by number of
persons in the upper part Of the city, some
of whom thought it the firing OF gun on
the arrival of steamer in port

The MOdOc War-Letter from Head

Transformation at the Reservation

EIect-COrruptiOn at the Reservation
A letter from j. X. Luttrell, member
elect Sd Congressional district OF California,
dated Headquarters Lava Beds. California,
June, ~, 1878, has been received by the
secretary of the interior, in which he says
there can be but one verdict or result Of
the Modoc war, viz: the conviction and
execution of all those participating in the
murder of settlers and peace commission
ers. He says, after careful investigation,
he is satisfied the war was caused by
the wrongful acts Of bad white men.
Their land on Lost river was valuable,
and spectators desired it. and sought to
have the Indians removed. The Indians
said there was but one or two deaths left
to them. viz: starvation, on the reservation
or speedier death by the bullet in the lava
beds. They chose the latter. Let us have
both sides Of the question:; let us have the
sworn statements Of the Indians, which will,
] am credibly informed, be corroborated by
the testimony Of respectable white men.

that there never was time since the organi-
cation of our Government that there was

Of the Government and people, but the
Indians, as is to-day being practiced on In
