Terrible Explosion.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. r. About nine
O'Clock this morning a battery of boilers
in the Sable Iron Works, owned by G..
log Il Co., on Pike street, this city, ex-
ploded and instantly killed eighteen men
and wounded so. The boilers were in the
nail-making department of the mill, and
the shock was distinctly felt over at points
three miles away from the mill. The roof
and frame of the building were lifted 80
feet into the air, and a moment after the
explosion the other buildings were in
flames. The force of the explosive power
was so great and seems to have been so
evenly distributed upon all parts Of the
boilers, that they were broken into hun
dreds Of pieces, the largest being less than
one-iourth of one Of them. A portion of
one was carried across the river to ALE
ghany, and landed at Boyer Il Banman's
lead works, on River avenue. Another
large piece going in the same direction
dashed through the roof Of the muck mill.
on the opposite side of the street, tearing
down two of the furnaces. swapping great
timbers like splinters, and breaking down
the huge crane which is used to lift tons
of iron and metal. The falling furnaces
ignited the mill, and it was partly con-
sumed before the flames could be checked.

ocratic remarks of these elections
The popularity OF Hayes in Ohio does
not seem to be immense. In 1867 he re-
duced the Republican majority of 1866
from ~ COG to 1888. In 1869 he reduced
the Presidential majority of the previous
year from 4 ,42S to 1913. His name just
now as a Presidential candidate, with all
the influence Of local pride his candidacy
infused, was barely able to carry their Re
publican State. When we 90 over into Ia
diana, which his party lost. or into West
Virginia. which the Democrats have also
carried, Hayes doesn't appear as u popular
Western candidate.
The result Of the elections in Ohio and
Indiana places the election OF Mr.. Iilden
in November beyond a peradventure. The
Democracy of these two States have rem
dered splendid service to the National
Democratic party. Ohio is. or has been,
Il Republican State since the Republican
party was born. The Repub ican party
has never failed to carry the State when Il
large vote was polled. Looking over the
history of the last sixteen years, one will
600, 10l 600 81 900, 50 900, %, 900, ~ 900
ertions III this Presidential year the Re-
publicans are barely able, If able, to carry
the State.
If we look to Indiana we find that she
has been Republican in three tourths of
the elections fer twenty years. She has
in that time cast Republican majorites of
5000, COCO, $500, $1,000, 1000, 10000
10000, and 21,000. Gov Hendricks was
elected by majority of only 1900 The
Republicans concentrated their force upon
Indiana. The bloody shirt and plenty of
money, of which fitzpatrick wrote to
Hayes, the rebel claims" the rebel
debt" the Kentucky negroes, the import
ed votes from Pennsylvania and New York
all were industrouslY, desperately used
in Indiana; and it seems probable that the
Democrats have carried the State in spite
of the "bloodv shirt and plenty of money, =
etc, which were expected to make lndl-
ana sale
The result of the election is that in Ohio
the home of Hayes, to carry which by q
rotund majority Hayes was nominated for
the Presidency, the tremendous efforts of
the Republican party have scarcely been
able to save this Republican State, and
that in Indiana, upon which so much of
Republican wealth and Republican talent
have been expended, the party has been
defeated. This guarantees Democratic sue
cess in November

Gov Chamberlain Of South Carolina has

This call is made under the provision of

bottom, together with Il hope that resist
ance may be provoked to aid the bloody

the support Wade Hampton is receiving
from decent men of all parties. and hope
to create Il disturbance. But the Demo-
Gratis, both white and colored, are deter

Gen. Anger. commander of the department
of the South, arrived in Columbia this morn
ing. He had Il long consultation with Gov.
Chamberlain aud with the Chairman of the
Democratic State committee, and assured them
both that as far us il was III his power he
would secure to South Carolina Il fair and hon
est election. He would protect Democrats and
Republicans alike, but the three or four COM
panies of regular troops now in South Carolina
could only be used to prevent open warfare and
enforce the laws of the United States.
Gen. Anger has conveyed to Gen. Wade
Hampton, the Democratic candidate for Gov
crnor, the information that if there are any
Democratic negroes who fear violence at the
hands of Republican colorcd men he will do
his best to protect them. AT the same time
however, he will do everything in his power to
stop the Cornwell and Aiken Outrages and Sc
cure to all negroes the rights which are guar
