the relief committee, and they have been
busy all day distributing these necessaries
among the needy for whom at least
TEMPORARY HOMES
have been provided. 1t is not anticipated
that there will be great deal of suffering,
Notwithstanding the fact that many Of the
sufferers lost all their property, as they will
be rendered financial aid. and before winter
will be furnished houses of their own as
comfortable as those which were destroyed.
The headquarters of the relief committee
at the opera house is filled with necessary
articles of household furniture and wearing
apparel, and hardly a train arrives that
does not bring boxes and barrels of those
commodities. The fund for the benefit of
the sufferers IS constantly swelling, and
now amounts to nearly 1000, which will
go a large way toward repairing the eam-
ages. Citizens of st. Cloud are magnani-

THE RELIEF BUILDING.
Busy Scenes Within the Building
Used as Headquarters.

Special from STAFF Correspondent.
SAUK RAPIDS, April 17.-It is very sell
dom that one sees such varied collection
both of human beings and of miscellaneous
objects as are to be witnessed in the little
building that is used as headquarters for
the relief committee at Sauk Rapids. The
building is the small white one somewhat
to the northeast OF where the Northern
Pacific depot used to be. The wind tore
away the whole front of it and otherwise
battered it, but still il stands and has a roof.
4 counter runs the length of it, and behind
this are some shelves. There are
as many samples of goods piled
here as ever existed i'm a New England
country store. And people of all classes
and ages come to visit it. At times il has
been about the only place in Sauk Rapids
where one could go for drink of water or
bite at a cracker and piece of cheese,
without running the risk OF disturbing some
sufferer. For every house in sight has been
the temporary home of from one TO ten at
times. Near the end of the building that
had been torn away, number Of mat
tresses were piled, TO await disposal.
A BARREL OF SALT PORK
stood just beside them and at the other end
was coffin on which the dust had col
lect6u anu the SuOOln surface OF Wnlcl was
being scratched little as a visitor occa-
sionally hit his foot against it. An idea Of
the confusion of the first few DAYS may
be had from a remark made by
one of the gentlemen there
about the coffin. I'VE didn't
know how many would be needed. and this
was one that was left Over," said he. Tea.
coffee, sugar, Pork. ham, crackers and
other kinds OF groceries are brought TO this
room and dealt out as applicants come for
them. A regular system of accounts is
kept and the books show just where every
ounce of tea, or anything else that is sent
there, goes TO. Men stand behind the
counter who never did up a package of
groceries in th lives, but they do the
work well enough for all practical pur-
pose. and the shape of the bundles makes
little difference. Several tents have been
put up near the building and quantities Of
groceries are stored in them as they are
taken from the trains. A vast deal of help
has been extended to the suffering COM
munity from this small building, and some
of those who have the distribution in
charge look as tired as if they had not
seen bed since the day of the disaster.

MOLTEN METAL
Scalds Number of Spectators in Pitt5-
burg Foundry.
Two Ladies Killed by Lightning In
Pennsylvania.
Badly Burned.

PITTsBURG, April 17.-Shortly before
noon to-day, while experiments were being
made at the iron works of Singer, Dimick
& Co., COMPRISING steel, the mould con-
tanning over 100 pounds of molten steel,
suddenly gave way, scattering the metal in
every direction. Some fifty or sixty persons
were witnessing the experiment, and all
were more or less burned. The accident is
supposed to have been the result of the
sand in the mold being damp. When the
steam pressure was put on the mold the
compressed molten metal then exploded,
scat tering it among the large number of men
that surrounded it. A panic ensued, and
the men scattered in every direction in their
eager desire to gain points of safety. AS
soon as the cloud of steam had arisen and
the crowd of people could again be dis
tinguiShed, it was discovered tn at at least
twenty of them had been been bur ned, sew
eral dangerously. The most serio ulsly in-
jured are as follows:
James Mckay, smelter, dangerously burned
about the head and upper part of the body.
Alex Foster, master mechanic, burned badly
about head, neck and arms.
Peter Hess, worker, burned about neck and
face severely.
manager, burned about legs, hands and neck,
William Fl. Singer, member Of the firm,
slightly scalded.
Pat Mullen, arms and face burned.
Michael Osborn, burned about the neck and
face.
In addition to these names there were
dozen others more or less injured. Mr..
Frank Nimick, after his injuries were
dressed. was taken to his home on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The others who were injured
were tenderly cared for and as soon as pos
sible removed to their homes. The news
of the accident spread quickly and created
great excitement, as it was first reported
that the boilers had exploded, killing .
number of persons.

DOUBLY SAD BURIAL.
Little Lulu Carpenters Body Con-
signed To Earth.

Special from STAFF Correspondent.
SAUK RAPIDS, April 1S.--Although the
cloud of sadness has somewhat dispersed
before the feverish anxiety of the people to
rebuild and recover from the shock, there
are incidents that recall TO mind most en-
phatically the horrors of that Wednesday
night when the clouds frowned so daIkly
upon this region. This morning at 9, Lulu
Carpenter, who passed away yesterday
afternoon after two days of lingering death,
was buried from the Congregational church.
The funeral was quite largely attended, and
the grief of the stricken mother was incon-
solable. But yesterday she had seen an
other of her children lowered into the grave.
and now she was called to look upon the
lifeleSS face of her daughter, just budding
into womauhoOd. pure, beautiful and brave
brave, because when she heard the roar of
the storm she caught her baby sister in her
arms, and lying down behind tree clung
to her sister with one hand while she held
to her with the other, and when the storm
had abated, the baby was found unhurt, but
sharp splinter had penetrated Lulu's
body, passing through it. Her only words
were, baby is saved" The agoniZed
father drew the cruel splinter from the
body of his child and watched her with
tenderest care, but she would not be nursed
back 10 health and sank to rest as brave and
noble as she was pure and beautiful. The
hearse bore all that was mortal of her to the
cemetery this morning, and as the cOrtege
of mourners passed Though the streets
workmen in the ruins reverently removed
their hats and bowed their heads. Many a
tear was wiped from the sun Drowned
cheeks of strong men and many sob shook
a sturdy bosom as the funeral train moved
by. At the cemetery large grave was
made and two collins, containing the re-
mains OF brother and sister, were lowered
into earth side by side. They were Joined
| together in their eternal sleep. Reu. l. l..

they passed to their graves. People have

which the calamity threw them and are
actively engaged in looking after the inter
