Mr.. Whitaker took the document and in.

signed to-day. Later the miners employed
by the company vera notified to go to
work this morning. The mill will resume
operations Monday morning, and the
time intervening until then will be occu-

announcement that the difficulties at this
mill had been settled caused general re-
joicing last evening.
At the E.n& mill, over the river, there
was little hitch yesterday over the old
rail clause, which will delay the resump-
ton Of work for day or so. Both the
manufacturers and workmeu expressed
the opinion last evening, however, that
the difficulty would be adjusted to-day.
The Standard mill signed yesterday, as
it had promised TO do the evening before.
At neither the Whitaker nor Standard
works are old rails worked, and there is
therefore no possibility Of hitch at either

New YoGE, Sept. O,-The following is
from this mornings TdG,me's account Of
the yacht collision and the opinions Of
nautical experts thereon: "The Boston
ian's plan was an ingenious one, as it con-
templated securing place where she
would have gone about and stood for the
lightship, placing herself Immediately
upon her rivals westherbow. She was a
moment too late, however. No one on the
Taraus, or any Of the yachts spoken to by
her, approved the Puritan's performance.
Some few considerably alluded to it as an
error OF judgment, but most gave it the
harsher Characterization OF sharp dealing.
All yachtsmen were loud in their praise
oil Sir Richard Sutton's sportsmanliks con-
duct in refusing to take the race by a walk
over. Sir Richard Sutton refused to talk
about the accident. j. Beaver Webb
thought that il was most unfortunate.
Captain Cartor talked freely about the oc-
currence, but neither he nor any other OF
the people connected with the English
yacht show any i'll feeling in the matter.
Captain Carter said: II wonder the Puri-
tan did not run uudsr our stern instead OF
crossing our bows. Ii che had run
under our stern, and come about on the
starboard tack, she would have had IN ex.
cellent position to the windward OF us,
and could have crossed the line so. The
Puritan's skipper evidently intended to
cross our bows and then come about on
our weather bow-a very neat thing il he
could have done it-but as it was plain it
could not be carried ont, even il the Puri-
tan had successfully crossed our bow, for
she would then have been too near the
llghtship. l kept the Genelta of, but
could not prevent the accident"
Mr.. Burgess was sailing the sloop at the
time, and Captain Carter had tbs GHnesta's
filler. In speaking Of accident Mr.. Bur-
Hess said: "I am very sorry the accident
l thought we had room enough |
10 cross the Genesta's bows. II would |
have been impossible fer US to cross the
ine on the track we were on, as Captain
Carter must have seen. OF course, the
Genesta had the right Of way, but think,
1 she had kept off more, the collision
would have been avoided"
j. Malcolm Forbes said: Il deeply re.
net the accident. We entirely miscal-
.ulated the distance, and thought we
;ould cross the Genesta's bows.

The officers dismounted and crept up to

FRANKLIN, Pa, Sept. 9.-Franklin has
commenced to put on Pittsburgh airs.
Natural gas is being introduced in this
city for fuel, and to-day occurred the tirat
serious explosion. Through the careless
ness Of q workman, q stopeock was left
open inL the pastty-room Of the United
States Hotel, while the pipes were being
tested. Mr. Wellmsn, the proprietor Of
the hotel, and orin Critchlow were feel
ing along the new pipes with lighted
torch for leaks, and when they
entered the pastry-room an explosion
occurred, knocking both men 10 the door.
Critchlow was quite severely bruised, but
Wellman escaped with but slight injuries.
LYDIA Adams, the pastry cook, who was
at work in the room, suffered the wofst,
and her life was only saved by the prompt
action Of another domestic, who smother-
ed out the flames.
Miss Adams is severely burned about the
body, and her lace wiil'prObabiy be dis

explosion took place is q total wreck, the
windows being blown out, and thingsgen-
