BLOWN TO FRAGMENTS.
A six-Ton Section of a Boiler
Blown Two Thousand Feet.
Three Men Killed, but the Escape of Many
Others Miracnlous-The building
Completely Wrecked.

WYASDoTTE, Mich, Juno 1:-This morn
ing the boiler in the plate mill Of the Eu-
relta Iron and Steel Works exploded with
fcarful.forcc, wrocking the entire building.
The killed are: Terry Mccoy, about sixty
years old, nm employe OF the mill for thir-
ty-two years. lie was night Waterman.
He leaves widow and five children.
Patrick Finn, thirty two years Of age and
unmarried. George Green, thirty-two
years old, and married. A number were
seriously injured. Had tho ex-
ploslon occurred half an honr
lator there would have been at least ono
hundred men at work, besides many wo-
mon and children, who arc always there
at that hour with breakfast for the mon.
The explosion was tcrr fic. Tho grato-
plato mill. ninety by one hundred feet,
with roof sixty fcot from the floor, was
blown to fragments. IL is all but m'-
raculous that tho loss OF life was not
greater. A piece Of the boiler weighing
nearly six tons was blown across Eureka
avenue, a distance OF two thousand foot,
striking Brennnn's brick store aud post
( f1icc, tearing out a llrgc hole in the wall.
The second boiler was lifted by tho cXplo-
sion, almost intact, and carried fifty feet.
On one end OF the boiler rested great sec
tion OF the iron roof From undcrthis and
behind Il mass OF splintored wood, twisted
iron and shattered brick came tho most
ptiful moaning and cries. Part of tho
ruins were in flames. The hose was
brought out aud water turned on for
minute two before any attempt could be
made 10 rescue the imprisoned men.
Then Finn's body was found Tho top
Of his head was blown on, and tho
timbers all about were spattered with
blood. He died before he could be taken
from the ruins. McGloy was found half
way between tho body of Finn and tho
spot where the boiler had stood, with a
section OF the smoke stack cotcring the up.
per portion Of his body. His head was
crushed and portions OF his brains spatter-
ed tho rusty iron. The limbs were twi.ch-
ing when he was taken up, but life was
just ilickering out. Both these mon wcro
badly scaldod. Green was unconscious
and frightfully mutilated. The back OF
his skull was fractured so that finger
could be laid in the opening His jaw was
broken, shoulder smashed and he was 9TH
erwise bruised on all parts OF the body. 1t
is surprising that he livod at all, but ho
fingered for quite half an hour. He was
found thirty feet away from the place of
the explosion. The cause OF the explosion
Is unknown

PARKERsnuRo, w. Va, May 9n-Isaao
w Cool an old hunter AMI farmer Of
webster County, few days since killed n
large black boar which weighed over $50
pounds. Mr. Cool was squlrrol.hunting,
and had nothing with him but squirrel
gun and couple OF small squirrel dogs.
Cool had just shot q squirrel, which foil
Out OF TALL tree at his feet, when one OF
the dogs rushed Into a clump OF UNDER
growth and began 10 bark viciously. Tho
other dog attracted by the nois' followed
the hrst one, aud Ia a moment out
rushed a big black bear directly
toward Cool The bruto was growi-
ing and swapping ylclounly at her small
antagonists, who lodged tho blows aud
bites, swapping hor by the hind leg when
over they found an opening. Cool, who
had not yet been observed by tn, bear,
quickly loadei his gun and fired ut tho
BEARS head. The bullet struck her but
did not seem 10 iniure her very badly, as
the bear turned and rushed towurd tho
hunter Not having time to reload Cool
clubbed his gun, and just as the bear
raised to her hind feet struck her
vicious blow on tho head. Tho blow
knocked the bear backward, but she
quickly regalnei her feet and again came
at the hunter in deadly rage When Cool
again struck at tho bsar sho quickly
varied OF tho blow with one OF her fore
paws and made savage blow at him with
tho other. The bears claws tore through
the hunters shirt aud made FIVE long
gashcs down bis brcast, ibs cuts pene-
tra,iug, some OF them at least half an
inch. Tho force OF the blow knocked
Cool on his feet, ait on his back,
and tho bear pounced upon him
and would have torn him into
ribbons but Tor tho lively attack Of tho
dogs which seiSoc tho fcrocous brute by
ono OF hcr bind legs, aud viciously snapped
their toeth into iLcm. Thc boar whlricd
around and made dash rt tho dogs, which
easily eyaded her, running In trout and
behind, snapping and biting until they had
decoyed hor several yards distant from
Cool The hunter loaded his gun as quickly
~ possible and advanced toward the bear,
which whlrlcd around aud again advanced
npon him, just as tho animal got within
two or thrco springs Of him Cool took
rapid aim aud shot hcr between tho
eyes, killing her instantly. After killing
the bear Cool, although badly hurt, went
into tho thicket with his dogs, and by their
aid found two plump cubs curlcd up under
n fallen tree. Thoy were about as largo
as common house cat. Tho hunter
picked them up ane won't 10 his home,
when he put them into u small pen, in
which he proposes 10 keep them until fall,
when he viii kill aud eat them Tho
wounds received by tho hunter, although
painful, ars not serious.

Mr. Blaine Sets at Rest all Speculation
Concerning His Candidacy In Another
Letter, In which lie Absolutely Refuses

NEW YoRK, May 30.-Tho Tribune OF to-
day publishes the following letter from Mr..
Blaine:
"PApIs May u, 1884, ihheiaio Reid. Esq.
Efhor NeV forl 7ribuas-My Dear Sir: nco
my return 10 Paris from Southern Italy on the
sth inst. have learned what l did not before
believe that my name may yet be presented
70 the National convention as candidate for
tho Presidency by the Republican party. A
single phrase Of my letter OF January % from
Florence (Which was decisive OF every thing
had the personal power 10 decide) has been
treated by many OF my most valued friends
as not absolutely conclusive In ultimate aud
possible contingencies. On the other hand,
friends equally devoted and dlslnterested
have construed my letter (as II should
be construcdl TO be an unconditional
Withholding OF my name from the Nation
al convention. They have in conse-
quenco given their support 10 eminent 4, ntlc-
men who are candidates for the Chicago homl-
nation. some Of whom would not, am sure,
have consented 10 assume that position u I had
desired to represent the party In the Presiden-
tiAl contest OF 1873
IN I should now, by speech or by silence. by
any event, 10 come before the convention
should incur tho rcproach OF being uncandid
with those WHO hnyo always been candid
with me. I speak therefore, because am
not willing TO remain in doubtful att.
,ude. am not willing 20 be the caus, OF
misleading single man among the millions
who have given me their sufragos and their
confidence. I am not willing that even oao
Of my faithful supporters In the past should
think mo capable OF paltering In
double sense with my words. As.
sunng that the Presidential nom
inalion could, by any possible chance, bo
offered 10 mo, Icould not acceptit withoutleav-
ing In the minds OF thousands OF these men tho
Impression that had not been free fronlN indi.
rociion, and. therefore. could not accept II at
oil. The misrepresentation OF malice have no
weight but the just d.splcasurc OF friends
could not patiently endure
Republican victory. the prospects OF which
grow brighter every day, can bo imperiled only
by lack OF unity In council or by acrimonious
contest over men The issue OF protection Is In.
oalcnlably stronger and greater than any man,
for IL concerns the prosperity Of the present and
Of generations yet 10 come. Were u possible
for every votorof the Republic 70 see for him
self tho condition and the rccompense OF labor
In Europe, The party Of free trade In the United
States would not receive the support Of ono
wago.worker between the two oceans. ]. may
not bo directly IN our power as phianthropists TO
elevate the European laborcr, but II will be
lasting stigma upon our statesmanship II we
permit the American laborer 10 be forced down
10 the European level Aud, in the end the re-
wards OF labor everywhere will be advanced 10
we steadily refuse 20 lower the standard al

Child Devoured by Bears.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, June LA few
days ago Ben Shiplet, a farmer, Of White
hall Township, this county, sent his little
girl, elcven years old, TO a neighboring
farmer for milk. The failure of the child
to return alarmed her parents, and the in
vestigation that followed leads to the con-
clusIon that she was killed by bear. The
farmers in the neighborhood started out in
large searching parties, and havo discov-
cred unmstakablo evidence of the pres
enco OF bears in the locality where the lit
tie one was last seen. The fact that num-
Der OF sheep were killed, and portion Of
tho girls clothes picked up, leaves little
doubt that she WAS devoured.

CnIcAoo May 3l-Hcnry NJ. Stanley
and the Wandering jew have rival in
little Josie Friend, the ten-year-old son Of
Mr.. Joseph Friend, resident OF this city.
Josie has great propensity for travelling,
and ever since soven years of age he has
taken trips in every direction, aud to all
parts OF the Union. He Is freak In that
his wandering inclinations are not the
result Of trashy literature, but
rather natural. When seven years old
josie and an older boy started for Keokuk,
Ia. The larger DO was thrown OF tho
train aud had to steal a ride home, but the
younger fellow continued the trip and
reached Kookuk. The station agent sent
him home. Three months later he took
another trip 10 Crown Point, Ind, aud
was again shipped back. Nothing daunt-
cd, he started the next season and went
to New York by way OF Buffalo, staying
away three weeks aud taking minute
notes on scenery and incidents along the
road. He was shipped home by the
New York police, but escaped at Kala-
mazoo, Mich, and on being taken In hand
again, got away once moro NJ Michigan
City Here his father got him. The 18th
of this month no was sent home from
school for sliding down the banisters, but
instead OF going home he started for Ccli-
fornia, getting as far as Glendive, Mont
The shoriff there sent him home, but he
got of at Brainord, Mimi, whore he was
heard from yesterday. His father OK
poets him homo in three or four weoks,
but thinks he will leave again for Califor-
MIA. The only fear his parents now have
is that some accident will befall him.

Colored Man Lynched,

AUGUSTA. GA, June 3.-Allen Sturgis,
colored, about twenty-one years Of age,
was taken from Jail at Thomson, Ga, some
time last night and lynchcd. The Jail
door, which is very strong, was broken
open with edge-hammers, the locks being
first broken and then the door battered in.
1t was done by determined men as the
signs of only five licks can be seen ON the
outside of the jail door. Sturgis was
taken about half mile from jail, just
outside of the corporate limits of the town
and hung to large oak on the side OF the
public road. Allen had served two terms
in the peni,ontiary. His family, relatives
or friends will have nothing to do with
his body. 1t is the first lynchiag ever oc.
