upon his dead leaf and a rose. Each

"a WASHINGTON, Oct FEATHER i. l..
Conrardy, who has been living among the
Indian tribes in the West for fifteen years
in the capacity of missionary, is in the
city for the purpose of presenting to the
Administration for its consideration
a plan which he claims from
his many years of experience
among them will make the Indians self
supporting in very few years, and will at
the same time restore to the public domain
millions of acres of land now lying idle
Mr.. Conrardy says that the Indian tribes
all through the country hold too much
lard. The plan which he proposes is to
form on each of the reservations a
number of colonies" to be composed of at
least fifteen young men, to each of whom
should be allotted one hundred and sixty
acres of land. At the head OF each colony
a practical farmer should be placed, who,
for the first year, would instruct the In
dams i'll farm work. The following year,
although the work, is to be continued
with another party of Indians, those
of the first year could be encouraged
and assisted in their training SO as to
push them further ahead to become eff
ficient and skillful farmers. Besides
improving the claims of the members of the
colony, large field will be fenced in,
plowed and narrowed by the boys, where
the old Indians unable to do hard work will
have ample ground to raise gardeIf stuff,

Two Persons Killed, Five Fatally ScaIded
and Ten Others Very Badly Injured by
Boiler Explosion in Pittsburgh Iron
Mill.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 3.-Shortly after
three o'clock yesterday morning battery
of boilers at the Solar Iron Works, of Clarke
&, Co., on Thirty-sixth street. exploded with
disastrous effect. The night turn had just
been relieved by the day force, when a loud
explosion startled the wOrkmen and that
portion Of the works in the vicinity of the
boilers was filled with a cloud of death
dealing steam Through the dense mist
came Shrieks ana groans, which notified the
employees beyond harms reach that fright
full calamity had overtaken portion of their
fellow-workmen. AS soon as the steam
settled down rush was made for the spot
where the explosion occurred, when it was
ascertained that the mud-drum of the
boilers had exploded, and the eScap-
ing steam had scalded seventeen men.
Closer investigation showed that of this
number, fourteei were badly burned aIl
three fatally scald,'. Nine of the injured
are boys The large number of boys hurt
is accounted for by the fact that they were

Those most seriously injured were taken to
the West Pennsylvania Hospital, while the
others were taken to their homes.
Engineer Powers says that the Hartford
Insurance Company inspectors pronounced
the boilers and nlud-drums safe only two
months ago. Investigation shows that the
coating of the mud drums was nearly eaten
through, which accounts for the trag-
edy. Fragments of the shattered drum,
not more than thirty-second part of an
inch in thickness, were found scattered
about through the wreckage. Five more Of
the victims are pronounced fatally injured
by the attending physicians, and their
deaths are momentariIy expected. Their
