BUTLER FOR TECUMP.
He Thinks He Could be Elected Beyond
All Possibility of a Boubt.

Boston, June General B. F. Butler, in
talking TO Herald reporter YESTERDAY, said
there should be no question that Blaine 8
declination must be considered as final.
Questioned as to the running powers Of
possible Republican candidates he said: II
think / know OF candidate who could be
elected beyond all possibility of doubt by
the Republican party Whether he will
run, ] don't know. How he would run, if
he gives his consent to stand, / do know.
To him there is no objection, because if he
is elected he will have an adviser who is as
well equipped as any other man in the
country to be President-his brother John.
Ny candidate is General William Tscumseh
Sherman. He would march to the White
House as he marched 10 the sea-"
|. "Who do you think heDemocratic nom-
inee will be?"
''Oh, Mr.. Cleveland. clearly. He will be
both candidate and platform. i can but
admire the grasp with which he holds the
Democracy by the hand. In 1884 disbe-
lieved in both his capacity and equipment
for the Presidency. | am now satisfied
that was right in the last and wrong in
the first. Who doubts Mr.. Cleveland's fit
ness to be President? His capacity TO rule
cannot be doubted. look upon this elec-
ton as the most important one since 1854,
which settled whether the war should be
continued and the country saved"

Three Men Killed and a Number Fatally
Injured-Narrow Escape of 100 Per-
sons.
WYANporrE, Mich June 2-Yesterday
the boiler in the plate mill of the Eureka
Iron and Steel Works exploded with fright
full force, wrscking the entire building
The killed are: Terry Mccoy, about 60
years old, an employe of the mill 80 years
He was night watchman. He leaves q
widow and five children. Patrick, Finn,
% years of age and unmarried. George
Green, 80 years old and married. A num-
Der were seriously injured.
Had the explosion occurred half an hour
later there would have been at least 100
men at work, beside many women and
children. who are always there at that hour
with breakfast for the men.
Some of the njured are: Lett Curtis, q
heater, burned about the face and hands;
Henry Peacock. helper. burned by escaping
steam; E. Shaney, helper, burned about
the face; JosephlWeiss laborer, deep cash
cut in the tsp of his head. Several others
were more or less hurt by the missiles fly
ing about the mill.
The explosion was terrific. The CRATE
plate mill, 90 by 100 feet. with a roof 60
feet from the floor, was blown to fragments
1t is all but miraculous that the loss of life
was not greater. A piece OF the boiler
weighing nearly six tons was blown across
Eureka avenue, q distance of ZOO feet,
striking Brennan's brick store and post
Office, tearing out a large hole in the
wall
The second boiler was lifted by the ex-
plosion, almost intact, and carried fifty
feet. On one end of the boiler rested a
great section of the iron roof. From under
this and behind a mass of splintered wood,
twisted iron and shattered brick. came the
most pitiful moaning and cries. Part of
the ruins were in flames. The hose was
brought out and water turned on for a
minute or two before any attempt could be
made to rescue the imprisoned men. Then
Firms body was found. The top of his
head was blown off, and the timbers all
about were spattered with blood. He died
before he could be taken from the ruins.
Mccoy was found half way between the
body of Finn and the spot where the boiler
had stood, with section of the smoke stack
covering the upper portion of his body.
His head was crushed and portions of his
brains spattered the rusty iron. The limbs
were twitching when he was taken up, but
life was just tiickering out. Both these
men were badly scalded.
Green was unconscious and frightfully
mutilated. The back of his skull was frac-
tured so that finger could be laid in the
opening. His jaw was broken. shoulder
smashed. and he was otherwise bruisc on
all parts of the body. 1t is surprising that
he lived at all, but he fingered for quite 4
half ad hour He was found thirty feet
away from the place of the explosion. The
cause of the explosion is unknown. The
loss is about $1,000
