j. NJ Forbes, ID. ID. Returning TO the
south, he was ordained deacon TO St. Johns
church, Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 10, 1859, by
Rt Rev. Richard II. Wilmer, ID. ID. He
was ordained priest in the same church by
the same prelate, June 30, 1869. His first
parochiaa work was at this church. lmme
diately after his ordination TO the priesthood
he became rector of Trinity church, Colum-
bus, Ga, where he remained two years and
six months. Then he removed TO New Or
leans and became rector OF Trinity church
there, remaining four years. In the year
1875 he became rector of st. James church,
Chicago, which position he held when
elected bishop of Michigan.
He was deputy TO the general conven-
tion in 1874 from the diocese of Georgia, and
in 1877 from the diocese of Illinois. In Do
cember, 1878, he was elected by unanimous
vote as the bishop of Quincy, but at the
earnest solicitation of the vestry Of St
James church he declined. Ho received the
degree of doctor of divinity from the college
of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va, in
1874. He was consecrated bishop OF Michi-
gan in st. Paurs church, Detroit, Sept II,

Bishop Harris was man of marked abil-
ity, and was beloved by all who knew him.
He was respected by all in the diocese, and
by the clergy in general who did not con-
form to his form Of worship. Out of his
church and in it he was held in the highest
esteem. His ability was not only shown in
the pulpit, but in managing the affairs of
the church. From human standpoint, it
seems as though the loss would be irrepar-
able.
The funeral services were held in West
minister Abbey Aug. %, and the next day
the remains, accompanied by Mrs. Harris,
son and daughter, sailed for the United
States.

THE BOILER EXPLODED.
Twenty-Five Persons Killed and Four
teen Injured.

At IL 80 o'clock on the evening Of August
% the large paper mill owned by George
Whiting, situated on the island between
Neenah, Wis, and Menasha, was destroyed
by fire. The mill was three-story struc-
ture, built four years ago at a cost Of $780,
900, and was operated day and night. When
the flames broke out about 80 men were in
the building. The fire alarm brought sew
eral hundred people to the spot, who crowd
ed as close to the burning building as the
intense heat would permit.
About 80, while the building was
mass Of flame, an explosion occurred with
out warning. The roof of the building was
thrown upward and outward, the walls of
brick crumbled and crashed into the street,
and in an instant scores of men were buried
by the heavy debris.
There was a moment of silence and then
a cry of horror went up from the multitude.
The first impulse TO fly from possible fur
Their danger was soon overcome and hun
dreds began the work of recovering the
bodies of the dead and rescuing and caring
for the injured.
Body after body was found, crushed and
mangied by the great timbers and masonry
almost beyond recognition, and then re-
moved to the city hall. Eighteen lifeless
bodies were recovered, and seven others
were taken from the ruins fatally injured
Fourteen others are moro or less seriously
iniured
The fire caught in the boiler room, in a
large quantity Of fuel, shavings, etc. The
fireman, Peter Nelson, had been out during
the evening and friend had worked for
him. About II o'clock he went from his
post to get drink OF water, and on looking
back into the boiler room saw flames among
the shavings. Before he could give the
alarm the flames rushed through the room
and drove him out. When the department
arrived the mill was doomed.
The immense revolving bleach was In
the heating room adjoining the fire room IL
was filed with straw and rags. When the
roof over the heating room fell in the fire.
men turned the hose over the bleach and in
stantly an explosion occurred and 10 tons OF
boiler debris shot ont Of the building and
across side track through throng OF
spectators, moving them down like grass.
The immense mass of iron shot out into an
open lot 200 feet away. In its passage II
struck the heads of the unlocking by-stand-
ers, as nearly all the killed and wounded
were hit on the head. The scene was indie
scribable. The blow, 80 sudden and crush
ing, stunned those il did not kill and main.
The cause Of the awful calamity is traced
directly TO the iron bleach. IL is said that
this was full of steam and rags and had be-
come superheated. When the cold water
from the fire engine struck it the explosion
followed instantly. The mill was built In
1872. The loss on building is 100000; in
surance, $50, 900.

Remarkable suraerx.

The science of surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried TO a sue
cessful issue. There are now several well
authenticated cases OF what il known as
pneumotony, that is to say, the removal of
diseased portions of the lungs in cases of
consumption. While, however, this deli
cate operation has sometimes been success
fully performed, the risks attending it are
so great and the chances of recovery so
slight, that IL is seldom resorted to- The
safest plan in consumptive cases Is to use
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This will always cure the disease in its
earlier stages, thoroughly arresting the
ravages of the terrible malady, by remov-
ing its cause and healing the lungs.
