Over one hundred and fifty girls were
employed at the time in the building.
Tho walls fell in ten minutes after the
explosion.
The policeman on duty near the
building says he saw the front build
ing, five stories high, fall into the
street. The street is filed with scream
ing people. There were about two
hundred persons at work. rushed to
the police station and gave the fife
alarm.
Several girls jumped from the top of
the building into the fire. Several boys
were blown thro' the roof. Fifty'six
wounded and one dead were reported
at Chambers street hospital at 6:45 pm.
Numbers were sent to Bellview and
other hospitals.
1t ia estimated the wounded will
reach one hundred and twenty live of
the two hundred and seventy-tive EN-
ployed in the factory. A few escaped
uninjured. The number of dead un-
certain until the wrecked Is cleared
away.
The fire was under control at $3.50
p. M, and by 8;I5 only dense smoke
surrounded the ruins,
Mr.. Greenfield, the owner Of the
factory, could give no idea of how
many hands were in the building. He
thought about enc hundred and ten.
OF these about fifty escaped by the
College place entrance and small
number got out through the skylights
and walked over the roofs and got
down the stairs OF other buildings.
The book. keeper, who was on the
Barclay street side of the building,
was blown out through window to
the street and badly cut on the head.
Several jumped from the second story
and escaped with slight Injuries, the
fall being bi token bypolicemen and citi.
zens on the sidewalk below.
No fair estimate OF the loss of life
can be given tonight. Parties en-
ployed in the factory were principally
young girls and boys from eight to
twenty. Owing to the approach of the
holidays d double force was employed,
one working during the day and the
other at night. The force changed at
five o'clock, and the fact of the ex-
plosion occurring at $40 renders il
still more difficult to know how many
or who are victims,

When to Prume Fruit Trees.

Long experience shows that when It is
desirable to produce free growth of shoots
and leaves, pruning should be done when
the trees are dormant, as in the winter sea-
son, or early in the spring, before the sap
begins to fow When fruit trees appear
to grow too rapidly, and 10 produce too
much wood, they may he pruned modera-
tey in the summer season, cutting away
a portion of the wood by degrees bat
| shoot growing in an improper place, may
be cut away at any time. At an experiment
made by pruning apple trees every month
i'll the year, for two seasons, showed that
the wounds Of the branches cut IN February
and March, at the end of five years when
all had healed over, were found to be the
least decayed under the healed surface.
When trees are pruued in winter, or may
say at any time, it is best to cover the
wounds with hot mixture of tar, and pull
verized brick dust, or fine sand \ solu-
tion of shellac in alcohol, as thick as can
easily be applied with a brush, is considered
by many as the best preparation that can
be applied.
During the mild days Of winter, orchards,
may be pruned-while little else eau be
done but good judgment should be exer-
cised in regard to selecting the branches TO
be cut away. 1t is ruinous to an orchard
to cut aud slash away one-third to one-half
the limbs All that should be done is 20
give the trees a good shape, and only
cut away such limbs Us are plainly in excess
of the natural requirement. of the tree, to
conform to the extent Of its roots. If we
take away too much of the top Of a tree, it
is like taking blood from a man-the more
that is taken, the less vitality remains in
him, therefore in pruning, only the few
qnsightly branches, and those improperly
situated, should be cut away.-Burak Nc,o

Frequently COWS. are sick, having cold
horns and ears, and cat very sparingly Of
food. The diseases producing this effect
are mostly called hollow horns and with
many farmers the remedy is boring holes
in the horns, which is of doubtful utility.
With cows thus affected gentle treatment
is decidedly the best, and painful process Of
boring the cows horns does more harm
than good. Take strong vinegar and tur-
pentine, each one gill, heat them together,
add half gill of salt and pepper, and rub
the COW head well around the roots OF the
horns as it can be borne with the hand.
Then bind the horns round with strips of
WOODEN cloth. For sick COWS give a bran
mash, in which put tablespoonful of pow
der, night and morning. The ingredient
of the powder is two parts gunpowder, one
part sulphur, and one part alum.
