PITTsBURG. Pa, Oct. l2.-At S:45 this
morning d terrible explosion occurred at
Zug 4 Co.'S. mill, corner of 18th anu Eim
streets. which was attended with great loss
of life. The boilers in the mill exploded
A large humber of employees were at
work and it is impossible to tell how many
are buried in the ruins. The greatest ex
citement prevails. The fire has not been
ex,lnguished. So tar ten bodies have been
taken from the ruins.
At the time of the explosion there were
emrloyed in the railing department $50
men and boys. The explosion literally
tore he building to pieces. The root was
raised and in falling it rested on the rail
machines, enabling most of the workmen
to crawl out and escape before the fires
from the furnace caught the mass of the
wreck. Owing to the excitement and con-
fusion it is impossible to givesa list of the
killed aud wounded The following as
near as can be ascertained. were the killed :;
Thos. Murph. fireman; Andrew Sullivan,
fireman; Frank Cupps, Peter Kendrick and
Jchn and Joseph Anderson, feeders; two
brothers named McCafferty, and an un-
known man whose head was blown off.

Mr.. Bristow.s vindscation.

Mr.. Bristow, like the honest, manly,
straightforward statesman that he is, has
gone before the House Committee on War
Expenditures and explained his connection
with the mule case, in which it is claimed
that he took part in defrauding the govern
ment. His explanation is clear and con-
elusive, and will be so accepted by the coun-
try. We observe that the Secretary would
have the committee inquire as to the author
of the story. This would be proftless.
The air is full of rumors, and the duty of
the press is not to take any mans character
for granted, but to insist upon having every
one investigated. Mr.. Bristow should there
fore feel grateful for the opportunity of de-
stroying calumny, which, as we learn from
Washington, has been il circulation for
some days. In this season of suspicion and
investigation no one can hope to escape
scrutiny. The story about Bristow was not
n whit more improbable than the story about
Pendleton. So far rs character is concerned
Mr.. Pendleton, until the railway charges
were made, stood as high as Mr.. Bristow
But when the scrutiny came Pendleton fell,
while Bristow came out not only stainless,
but with renewed lustre.
Therefore we repeat that Mr.. Bristow
never received a better service than when
the HERALD gave him the chance of going
before the House committee. We congratu-
late him upon his triumphant vindication,
and we congratulate the country upon hav-
ing at the head of the Treasury a statesman
who has been tried in the crucible and found
to be tho finest gold.
