FATAL EXPLOSION.

Frightful Accident at u Pittsburgh Iron
Mill - Seventeen Persons EearfuIIy
Scalded.
PITTsBURGH, PA, October "A battery
of the boilers in Clark'S Solar Iron Works,
at Thirty-sixth and SmaIlman streets, ex-
ploded at sos o'clock this morning, with
disastrous effect. Seventeen persons were
dangerously scalded, three of them known
to be fatally burned and some of the others
will probably die. The men were all at work
when the explosion occurred. These who
were fatally hurt were taken to their homes,
while the others were taken to the various
hospitals. 4 slight report followed the ex-
pOsiOn. A vast crowd cOngregated at the
mill. Dust and dirt so distigured the in
jured men that much difficulty was expert
enced in identifying them. The
greatest confusion existed. Men, women
and children rushed franticaIly about. The
means of the injured mingled with the
shouts of the frightened. The Mayor was
promptly notified and policemen were hur-
ried TO the mill. The scenes at the mill
after the explosion were heaItrendng.
One by one the victims were carried
out covered with ashes and bruised
and bleeding from their wounds. The ac-
cident was caused by rupture of the mud
drum. No theory has yet been offered
which would accOpnt for the sad catas-
trOphe. AS soon as the confusion had in a
measure subsidized it was aScertained that
the fatally injured were:
Charles Haywood. married. peddler, in
jure6 by flying debris.
Thomas POwery. (bOyl scalded; fatally
crushed under the truck.
James Cato, fatally scaded.
The seriously injured were:
Frank Good. (boyl scalded badly, cut
about the head.
William Orth, roller. badly scalded.
ID. Lavender. shearsman. scalded and in
jured by flying debris.
Pat Enright, scalded, perhaps fatally.
Dave Richards, scaIded and arm broken.
William Daniels, boy, scalded and badly
cut by flying iron.
Dave Thomas, shearsman, badly scaided.
COwley Slime, boy, badly Scalded.
Billy Barth, boy. bruised from the heavy
fall.
Frank Halt, boy, badly scalded.
Al Macken, scalded.
Engineer Steiner, badly bruised and
slightly cut
The injured were found lying in all posi-
tons. Some of them were so far away from
the battery of boilers that it seemed impossi-
bic that they could have been injured by the
explosion. The large number of the boys
hurt is accounted for by the fact that they
were employed to handle the hoop iron
which was rolled OH the mill neares. the
boiler.

KANSAS STATE NEWS.
The Reunion.

The great reunion OK veterans at To-
peka was the grandest affair that the Cap
ltal City ever witnessed. Twenty five
thousand veterans were in camp. The ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by Gov
ernor Martin, and many prominent speak
ers were present from different parts of
the country. The banner over the main
entrance to the grounds was of very ap-
prOpriate design. 1t extended across both
main gates, being 20 feet in length, by -.
feet in width. The design was an arch
rest ng on two foundation stones labeled
Liberty and Equality" On these the
arch extended upward, being composed of
the representations of stones, each OF
which bore the name of a State, all the
States being represented and indscrimin-
ately mingled. The keystone OF this arch
was the Stars and Stripes. In the semi
circle below the arch was the words,
WELCOME to Camp Grant," while on
either corner at the ends and above were
the notices sour Country One Arch, and
its Keystone the Flag" Over the entrance
gate and hanging from the banner was
flag, on either side of which in national COL
ors appeared the G.. A. X. badge. The
Kansas National Guards, comprising
thirty-two companies of infantry and one
battalion, in all four regiments, were in
camp on the grounds and presented fine
appearance. General Black, Commits
sioner of Pensions, who had accepted
an invitation to be present and address
the veterans, was absent. \ telegram
he'd been received, however, announcing
the death of his daughter and his inability
TO be present, and resolutions of coincidence
and sympathy were passed and ordered
forwarded to General Black. Altogether
the old soldiers had most enjoyable time
and will long remember with pleasure the
camp fires that burned SO brightly at their
reunion of 1885.

A Special Agent VINO Lowers the Record
ON Inspecting Indian Agencies.
WASHINGTON, September 3O.-Special
Agent Armstrong of the Interior Depart
ment, has returned to Washington Old
leave for few days to consult with In
dian Commissioner Atkins and Secretary
Lamar. General Armstrong was sent to
the Indian Territory at the time the cattle
men were ordered off the public lands.
After he had performed this mission he
went rapidly through number of agencies,
inspecting about seven inside Of two weeks.
His reports are regarded as models OF in
telligent and comprehensive statements at
the Department, but evidences OF more
study and time in their preparation would
give them greater weight. General ARM
strong finds fault with the radical changes
made in the removal OF certain agents and
their clerks, and the substitution of
new men without training or eXperi-
ence to administer the affairs pertaining
to such places. He recommends the i'll
structiun of agents or clerks separately, so
that each can get the benefit OF instruction
from those who are acquainted with the
Indians TO be managed. He makes Il NUM-
Der OF other recommendations, which have
not vet been fully examined, owing to the
rush with which his reports have been
shOwered upon the department. He will
be ordered West again in a short time,
with the intInation TO proceed more delib-
erately.

Alibi-Sahub-Pasha ordered all the various
department commanders TO report the
strength of their respective commands and
their present condition and detailed several
officers to inspect the various posts. Their
reports have been received and show that
under Ghazei Osman Pasha, late Minister
Of War, who was dismissed September 25,.
the army was almost entirely neglected and
large sums of money voted for military
purposes were used i'm other ways than
those for which they were meant Inquiry
has revealed that the AdrlanOple
army, which was supposed to be $4,000
strong. contains not half that number.
The soldiers have no uniforms and are shoe
less. The cavalry is unable TO march,
owing to lack of horses and necessary &C
cOutrements. Four hundred horses and
1000 men, who have been fully equipped,
are under orders to march at an hours
notice. Four irOncladS are actively prepar-
ing for sea, but there are only 600 tons of coal
available, and their departure may possibly
be delayed on that account. Yesterday
Turkish troops made an attack on the ROu-
