The Iowa City Paper Mill Explosion.

Further advices show that six men
were killed in the paper mill explosion at
Iowa City Thursday, instead Of FIVE, as
before stated. The sixth victim was Wal.
ter Sinton, \ Scotchman. He was seen
to 60 up with the tank, and over it to an
estimated height of 512 feet, and falling
went through h the roof Of the paint shop,
seventy yards away from the mill, knock.
ing hole through the shingles, the inch
shcating beneath, and breaking two raft
crs. He was found Friday morning lying
on the floor of the room beneath. The
value Of the mill is quarter of million
dollars. The loss of Mr. Close is about
$4,000. The paper machines and pulp.
ing engines are not injured. It is de-
cided that it was chemical explosion.
The pressure on the boilers was only so
pounds, and less at the exploded tanks.
The straw is pulled in the tanks with
lime and acids; and the result of the
chemical combination must have evolved
an explosive force far greater than was
possible with steam at pressure of forty
pounds. The dead will be buried at 2 P.
NJ, Sunday. Three of them were Catho.
lies and three Of them Protestants. The

Lawyer of East st. Louis Charged
With Attempting to Outrage Child.

East St. Louis had another shocking
sensation on the Oath, in the arrest of a
lawyer, Thomas r. Faucet, charged with
attempting to outrage his washerwoman' s

She was sent to Faucets house at rath.

clothes her mother had washed. Faucett' s
wife being away on a summer visit. The
child says Faucet took the clothes,
handed her some money, and then, as
she was about to give him the change, he
seized her and threw her on the bed.
She attempted to scream, but he placed
his hand over her mouth, and then pro.
ceeded to take such liberties with
her as his vulgar mind suggested. The
child's home is but few steps from Fau-
,ett s house, and her mother, who was
waiting for her. became apprehensive and
went out to meet her. Overhearing the
sitting screams, the mother rushed into
the house, and, she says, found the child
just in the act of being ravished. The
lawyer got up from the bed, and, taking
the child by the hand, led her to her
mother, saying he meant nothing wrong,
but was just fooling with her. The woman
took her daughter to the police, and after
the story was told, warrant was gotten
out against the lawyer Faucet is the
