EXPLOSION AT EVANSVILLE.

One Man Killed, Two Fatally Injured, and u
Number Seriously Hurt.
Special to the Indianapolis Journai.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Dec. IA disastrous boiler
explosion occurred at $50 this morning 1t was
so violent that the Jar and the report accompany
ing it were distinctly felt throughout the city.
The shock was short and jerky, and the largest
buildings trembled slightly. 1t was at first sup
posed that an earthquake had occurred. but the
real facts were learned a few minutes later.
Three forty-foot two-fue boilers, located in
Charles Hofferberth's saw-miil, located in the
suburbs of the western part of the city, on the
river bank, had exploded. At the time Of the
explosion forty -one men were engaged in work
in different parts of the mill About ten min
utes prior to the explosion the machinery was
stopped, in order that change OF saws could
be made. The mill was started again,
the saws on bIth sides of the mill
beginning operations. The three boilers ex-
ploded simultaneously. and completely demol-
ished the whole mill. Pieces of the boiler few
in every direction one fragment alighting about
four hundred yards up Coalmine hill; another
few across the Ohio river and was buried in the
earth, while third fell in the river, almost
striking the steamer John D. Hopkins, which was
coming up stream.
A large force of men commenced work imme-
diately to search for the killed and wounded,
physicians and ambulances were summoned, and
in half an hour all the workmen had been ex-
tricated. One was killed and several seriously
wounded. Frank Paplin, the fireman, was in
stantly killed, the top of his head being
blown off, and his body mangled. Paplin was
young married man. with no children.

The mill was owned by Chas. Hofferberth, of
New York and the loss will be about $15,0 600,
with none but fire insurance. The cause of the
explosion was old and defective boilers, which

What Cardinal Manning Thinks of His Utter

New YORK, Dec. 14-The Worlds London
correspondent cables interview had with
Cardinal Manning upon DR.. McGlynn's sum-
mons to Rome. and the labor movement in
America. The Cardinal, in reply to questions,
said that he presumed the summons was more
for the purpose of allowing DR.. McGlynn TO
make An explanation than anything else. In
itself it did not imply condemnation. When
reminded that the nAident bad created ~ inn
preston that the church was opposed to Henry
George and to the present labor movement the
Cardinal said
'The church is not opposed TO them unless
they fall into socialism. 1t has always been the
faithful friend of the working people. but there
must be a wide distinction between the Socialist
and the workingman. / saw in a telegram,
sometime ago, that Mr.. George had said the
church had never confirmed the principle of
property in land. The reverse is the fact The
whole history of the church shows that it holds
and teaches the law of property in land"
In regard to Mr.. George the Cardinal said
that, in personal interview with Mr.. George,
he had understood him to recognize the principle
that property is founded on the law CT nature,
and is sanctioned in revelations but he con-
tended against the intolerabe evils which re-
suit from an exaggeration of the law of property
The Cardinal added that he was much pleased
by Mr.. Georges quiet earnestness and the rev.
erence with which he spoke of Christ and His
teachings. He had not read Mr.. Georges Prog
ress and Poverty but had read his Social
Problems, and had found nothing in those chap
ters that seemed unsound 1t was evident
from the general tone Of his conversation, that
the Cardinal was much i'm pressed with Mr.
George as man, and much disposed to take
liberal view of his doctrines and political economy

ions by Cardinal Gibbons Bishop Luray, of
New Orleans; Archbishop Kendrick, of St.
Louis; Bishop Ryan, of Western New York;

bany and Others regarding the Father McGlynn
episode and the labor movement All declined
to express any opinion as to the merits of DR..
McGlynns case, but it was evident that they did
not look upon him as condemned. The tone of
sheir remarks were sympathetic toward the la
Dor movement. 80 far as it employs legal
methods.
The Sun says that Father McGlynn will sail
on Red Star steamer for Antwerp, on his way
to Rome, within short time.
The Irish World tomorrow will publish long
interview with Michael Davtt in which he ex-
presses hope that Father McGlynn will go to
Rome and explain to the church the great value
of Henry Georges land theory as a means of up
lifting the masses and spreading the benefits of
religion and civilization.

WASHINGTON Dec. 14-If there is one thing
more transparent than another to the mind Of
Representative Willis, of Kentucky, in conpec-
ton with his defeat for reelection it is that his
course as chairman of the committee on rivers
and harbors did not do him any harm. Mr..
Willis speaking of the matter to your corre-
spondent to-day said that the improvement Of
rivers and harbors was growing more favorable
with the people constantly, and that the country
had come to approve of them whore they used to
condemn. Speaking of the prejudice against
rivers and harbors and their improvements in
the West, Mr.. Willis said:
'It is little strange, but true, that the last
three chiefs of engineers Of the army who have

SPECIAL EXAMINER DABNEv.

Inquiry to Ascertain Whether He Served az
Guard at a Rebel Prison.
Special TO the Indianapolis JournaI.
WASHINGTON, Dec A.-An investigation il
being made by the Pension Office of tie charge
that DR.. Dabney, special examiner, was q
guard at Andersonville prison. Dabney recently
published a card in which he said that at the
close of the war he was only fifteen years old,
that he was not guard at Andersonville, and
was not in the confederate service. Those who
claim that Dabney was a prison guard say his
denial was no denial at all, but an equivecation;
that fully % per cent of the guards at the rebel
prisons were either boys under fourteen years Of
age or decrepit old men; that the guards at An-
dersonville were not in the confederate service,
but in the service of the State Of Georgia aud
that if Dabney was not a prison guard hs held
some other position at the prison. Dahsasy 10
very vague about his early history and E may
take some tmeto get at the facts, and till the facts
are developed Dabney's denial should be held in
abeyance as it is not taken rs conclusive by the
Pension Office or the officials themselves. Dab
ney has made statement to the Commissioners
of Pensions of similar character to that re
ferTed toabove, but it is said this statements as
vague as, and no more satisfactory than, the
first one, and was made for the purpose of "cov-
ering" the oath he made when be was appointed
under the civil-service rules.
A Pension Office official says he heard Dabney
best Of having been prison guard when four
teen years old, and this is where the report orig
mated. Dabney's whereabouts during the war
will be looked into. as his statements are not
considered satisfactory.
Dabney's denial is as follows:
