A BLOW Out . at the Canning Factory.
Last Monday afternoon at about 4
O'Clock, the head of a boiler at Butter
foss' canning factory, in this city, blew
out with great force. The boiler was
about four and a half feet high aud three
feet wide, and was used to heat cans of
corn, the steam being supplied to it from
the main boiler. In this boiler were plac-
ed from five to six hundred cans of corn
on Monday afternoon, the head screw
ed on and steam let in. The steam pres
sure on the main boiler was only sixty
pounds; yet for some unexplained reason
the boiler head blew off, and the entire
lot of cans flew out with such force that
some of them were carried hundreds of
feet away, landing ON the hillside, on top
of the factory aud in the neighboring
yards. The boiler stood under covered
shed, the roof Of which was lifted off
for several feet around the boiler
Twenty or thirty women and children
were working within a few feet Of the
boiler aHof whom escaped without any
injury whatever, excepting Miss Kate
Beaumont and Miss Sallie Field who re-
ceived slight injuries from flying cans of
corn. The women employed in the main
building, hearing the explosion and see-
ing the steam escaping, became panic
stricken and rushed for the front windows
and doors. The doors being locked, the
windows were broken open and some of
them jumped out before they could be
quieted. Altogether the escape of some
of the hands from serious injury or even
loss of life, is remarkable. The loss to
Mr.. Butterfoss is between 800 and 1925.
When the explosion took place, some
teams were in front of the factory un-
loading tomatoes. The team of Wilson
Hunt took fright and ran away, but was
brought to stand still at Boozer's store,
cor of Union and Coryell streets, by run
ming against fire plug. No serious
damage was done by the runaway.

Additional Evidence.


On last Friday morning, some articles
were found in the lookup In this city,
which had been hidden away by Asa l..
Miller, on Tuesday morning of last week,
while confined in the lookup. These
articles were two pairs of shoes, spool
of thread and two keys. One of the keys
fitted the door to the shoe shop Of Mr.
John Louden, in this city, and the two
pairs of shoes had been stolen from that
shop. 1t is probable that articles have
been stolen by Miller and Slack, his ac-
complete, from this shop number of
times. A handle has also been found
which fits the broken umbrella carried by
Miller on the night Of his arrest, and
which proves to have belonged to Mr.. j..
D. Stryker.

wheels. &C.. addressed to points in Eng

&C., can be seen, while the trade in this
country is also very heavy. Last Friday,
we noticed large car filed with i'm
mense boxes Of spokes, marked for
Duneden, New Zealand. We are told
that the prepaid freights Of this company
often reach as high as one thousand
dollars a week. Mr.. John Finney, the
business manager of the company, is a
thorough going business man and what
he does not know about the spoke trade
is not worth knowing

The paragraph going the rounds of

ly absurd. His desire to resign from his
command of the Sixth Regiment, was
solely on account of ill-health, and it is by
no means probable that he. would take a
similar position in another organization.
Besides, his resignation from the colonelcy
of his own regiment has not been accepted,
and was only forwarded conditionally.
He will not resign if his health improves.
Also, it may be remarked, the Seventh
Regiment holds its present and future
officers within its own limits. -Taps

Mrs. Elizabeth Saxon, one of the most elo-

close OF an eloquent and convincing speech at
Lincoln she concluded with the following sum-
mary:
Nothing can stay this movement. 1t is
not only political but moral and social re-
volution. Some one has asked why women
want TO vote, will give few reasons.
81. Women have the same common inter-
ests that men have.
-. They rave as much interest in the es-
adjustment Of justice and domestic tranquility,
in providing for the common defense and Sc
curing the rights OF life and liberty which men
have.
s. They are equally as capable of deter
mining equitable laws as men are.
"a. Shey have as strong a love Of count
and as exalted and pure patriotism as men
have. Wherever w"man's feet have trod.
there purity and truth have come like an angel
of paradise"

Editor EVENING LIGHT:
We leala that our popular, genial contrac-
tor, Col. S. Meade, and family, who have
been east on visit to relatives, are en- route
for home and will arrive in few days unless
halted on the way to build jail or a bridge
or two.
Election day is near at hand and all eliei-
BILE voters should consider we'll their acts on
that day. 1t is we'll to give this subject can
did unprecedented thought, yourselves, and not
simply submit to be blndly led--Dike a goat
to the slaughter-to vote for chronic Office
seekers, whose only interest is self-agrapdize-
ment, and the spoils of office.
A compulsory educational law would ben
eft society at large. The very foundation Of
a republican government rests upon education
and general widespread intelligence, and
if we expect pure and just government these
qualities are certainly essential. That we suf-
fer under unjust laws, corruption and bribery,
in both high and low places, is because we
elect bad men, and that such are elected is be-
cause OF the lack of general information. The
greater mass of voters-of which our freed
men form conspicuous part-allow selfish,
designing, avaricious political demagogues to
do their thinking, and dictate how they shall
vote, instead of acting upon their own know
ledge and judgment after a careful considers
ton.
What is the matter Brothers Dickey and
Denton! We experienced no difficulty in
counting the locals in last issue of the Chron-
icle. ADIos.
