Death, Fire and Destruction Scattere
by a Terrific Explosion.

Death, Fire and Destruction Scattered
by Terrific Explosion.
GLEN's FALLS, NY, July 16.-A boiler
in the Glen's Falls Paper Mill exploded
to-day, killing several people. The boiler
was thrown a distance CT five or six hum
dred feet. The building is a complete
wreck.
No person was killed outright, but two
men were so badly bruised and scalded
with steam that they will probably die be-
fore morning, and others are injured so
that they may die.
The conclusion was so great that build
ings were shaken and windows broken
within a radius of a mile. Fifteen per-
sons i'll all were badly hurt. The ruins
were ON fire within fifteen minutes
after the explosion. The flames
spread with great rapidity, destroying
buildings wherein were stored soda, ash
and fuel. The exploded boiler was one of
three of the rotary pattern used for boil
ing straw, but it had recently been used
to make steam for the engines. There
were also two steam boilers in the room.
1t was supposed that the boiler was
strong enough for the purpose to which it
was devoted, but that its strength was
Overestimated is clearly shown in to-day's
catastrophe. The loss is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. The insurance
is about One-half the loss. A small brick
building, located 40 feet from the boiler
room, was destroyed by the concussiOn,

RISMARCK,S CAREER.
The Trifiing Circumstances Which Led
to it's Commencement


Bismarck's wonderful political career
grew from a very trifling circumstance.
1t was in August of 1851 that he was in
trusted with the legation of Frankfort
Prince Guillaume, then Crown Prince of
Prussia, halted there and took HIM among
his escort when going from Frankfort to
Mayence, where grand review was to be
held. Military etiquette is exceedingly
strict in Germany. However, it was so hot
in the royal car that every officer and the
Prince himself loosened their uniforms.
On arriving at Mayence the distinguished
party were to be met at the railroad sta
tion by troops under arms. The Crown
Prince buttOned up again his uniform.
but he forgot one button. Fortunately,
as he was about to leave the car, Bis
marck, always on the alert, saw the aw-
Tul infringement of sOldierly etiquette.
and, rushing to Guillaume, 'sOh Prince
he said, ''what were you going to
do" and forgetting that no
one is allowed to touch a
royal parsonage, he forced the
refractory button into it's proper place.
The Prince thanked the diplomatic Young
man who had been so rigorous and whose
name and features were now fixed in his
memory. Hence the brilliant fortunes of
the "lrOn Chancellor" Why not? Did

TAMATAVE'S CONQUEST.
MUCH MISERY INFLICTED ON
THE ENGLISH COLONY.

The Protestant Church Destroyed-Fur-
ther Reports of Animosity Between
the British Consul and Admiral Pierre
All the Consular Flags Lowered-NO
oHcial Information as Yet.
LONDON, July 16.-A dispatch from
Durham to the Times says that the Prot
estant Church was destroyed during the
bombardment ofTamatave. Much misery
exists among the British subjects residing
at Tamatave.
The Governor of Mauritius has sent a
steamer to bring away the refugees.
The French Admiral lowered the con-
sular hags and forbade their rehoisting
until the foreign representatives had been
reaccredited.

PARIS, July 16.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day, Challemel Lacour, Min.
lister of Foreign Affairs, in replying to
questions, said that he believed that there
had been at least an eXaggeratiOn in the
accounts of the occurrences in Madagas-
ear. He was certain that if Admiral
Pierre had adopted any measures they had
been necessary, and that Admiral
Pierre had complied with the orders
to avoid offending England. News of any
occurrences was lacking, he explained,
because the Admiral was unable to de-
tach a vessel by which to send dis
patches. He declared that unexplained
events could not impair the present good
relations existing between France and
England. The utterances in the British
Parliament on this subject had been
moderate and courteous. NJ. Lacour
added that if grave error had been COM
mitted or passion manifested the French
Government would not hesitate to fulfill
the obligations imposed by its sense of
justice and the interests of the country.
The Minister'S remarks were received
with cheers.
