TIE SILVER QUESTION


Agitatips the President Elect and tho Mem
bers OF Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The statement
of Mr. Hewitt that Mr.. Cleveland during
his stay in New York impressed upon the
minds Of his Congressional callers the ne
cessity OF some legislation this session or
the silverquestion has thoroughly aroused
the advocates Of unlimited silver coinage
in Congress, and called forth some very
strong remonstrances on the part OF the
Democrats who arc opposed TO the pro,
posed suspension OF the coinage of the
standard dollar, : T
The silverites in the Senate talk very
confidently Of their power TO defeat the
amendments to the House trade dollar
bill recommended by the Finance Com
mittee, and partial canvass OF the Senate
instities the opinion that their confidence
has good foundation. Republican Sena.
tors who believed early in the session
that the Senate was strongly In favor
OF the suspension OF the coinage OF stand
ard dollars, say now that the vote on
adopting the amendment proposed by the
Finance Committee will be extremely
close, with the chances somewhat against
their adoption.
Senator Brown, Of Colorado, who is, Of
course, an advocate Of the unlimited .pur.
chase OF silver, in speaking OF the letter OF
Secretary McCulloch stating that more
vaults must be built for the storage Of the
silver dollars, and asking Congress for an
appropriation OF $500, 900 for this purpose,
said that 1t was not necessary to coin silver
purchased into dollars at once, and that
his plan would be to cast the silver bull
lion into huge blocks, which might be
piled on the sidewalk next the Treasury,
and they would be so heavy that one
Waterman could take care OF them.

was TOO strong for some OF the Jetfersonian

BRAZIL, 1Sn., Feb. 10,-A terrible acci-
dent occurred in the rolling mill here at
$3.50 this morning. The boiler exploded

pudding furnace and killing two Others.
Fifteen were seriously injured. Some will

mace were all taken out dead. The major.
ity had lately arrived from eastern points
and gone to work in the mill.
The works were known as the Central
Iron and Steel Works, Major Collins, pro-
prietor. The killed are:
MAHLoN BAKER, watchman.
RoBEgT DAVIS, roller.
- Brock, puddler.
JAMES BlLLETER, all OF Brazil.
The fatally or dangerously injured are:
LEWIS MIILER, Newark, n. u.
THOMAS KENNEDY, Trenton, N. ].
JAMES ROGERS, Janesville, Pa.

The mill was built in 1898. thas four
double pudding furnaces (equal to eight
turnaces), one forge fire, seven heating
furnaces, three trains OF rolls, one l0.inch

CAUSE OF TIE EXPLOSION.
TERRE HAuTR, IND, Feb. l0.-The
Ere,sing Gasette's special from Brazil gives
fuller particulars of the terrific explo.
sion of the rolling mill in that plsce this
evening. So far four are dead: Mahlon
Baker, night watchman; Peter Fleming,
puddler; Robert Davis, muck roller; Will
lam Petit, who received injuries from
which he afterward died. Davis home is
Ohio. Petit came from Ohio.
1t is supposed the bodies Of five or six

Charles Sage, John Burns, James Billiter,
Joseph Daily, seven employees OF the mill
and a number Of tramps, among them
Thomas Kennedy, Franklin, N. j., Frat-
els Posey, Clay county, Ind; Lewis Mil
Ter, Newark, MI; James Rogers, Brook
lyu, N. Y. George Milton, Rochester, N. Y.
The explosion is said 10 be due to the
carelessness iof Engineer Nussel. The
iron OF the shattered boiler is much
blistered, showing that the water was
turned into 1t when 1t was red hot.
There is a strong feeling growing against
Nussel. It is reported that finding the
water low he turned 1t on and took TO his
heels, the explosion occurring instantly.
The coroners inquest will be held Friday.

CENTRE or TIE STORM.
Tho County Afrseted-rho Nature of the
Snow,

Snow.
CHICAGO, Feb. l0.-Chcago seems to
have been the centre OF the snow area and
for a distance Of about sixty miles in every
direction it has fallen to a great depth and
is drifting badly. Most Of it was very
moist when it fell which makes it
very heavy and as hard TO handle
almost as sand, having since been
frozen hard and ground almost to powder
by drifting. The level character Of the
country in every direction and its freedom
from forests facilitates its carriage by
winds and lodgment wherever a rail-
road cut furnishes place forit to drop
into. In consequence Of this and Of the
extremely low temperature which has
prevailed all day, It has put
most OF the railroads In worse condition,
II that were possible, than they were yes
terday. It Is next to impossible for men TO
work and about as difficult to keep steam
up in the engines. From every direction
reports come Of engines dead" and trains
side-tracked.,
