ONE CENT.
A CRASH AT PlTTSBURG.
Five Men Killed and Twelve
Badly Injured.
EXPLOSION INTHE BOILER WORKS

II Occurred At Noon While Most Of The
Men Were at Dinner-The Cause win
Probably Never he Known--It was Like
an Earthquake.
PTTsBURe, March l5-A boiler in the
West Point boiler works, owned by A. Mon
roe & Son, on Twenty third street, exploded
shortly after u O'Clock, killing five men,
wounding twelve and wreclsing the building
The force Of the explosion was terrible 1t
shook the earth for several blocks around,
shattering windows and creating conste.na-
ton in the neghborhood
AT noon the whistle was sounded. and inn
mediately the majority Of the sixty-dye em-
ployes left the place Five minutes later
every man who remained IN the place had
ben either killed or injured In a moment
Hundreds Of people were on the ground, and
she work of rescue was begun at once An
alarm Of fire was sounded, but the wreckage
fortunately was Of brick, and the flames that
had started did not make much headway be-
fore they were exit -guished.
Firemen and policemen commenced the
~ork Of rescning the buried, and in a short
time the dead were removed. The list Of
killed IS:
August Linebaeh engineer, terribly mutt
lated, single
Jacob Reinheimsr, boiler maker. married.
Charles Alenhacher aged Al; married
Daniel Clark, boiler maker, single
James Carter. he,per, aged 30; married
Martin Conner aged a single, cannot live
till morning.
The complete list Of the injured, not in
cluding those whose wounds are merely SUI
periieiai, Is.
William Frouer, cut about face aud head
Frank Smith lad, hea1 aud legs iniured.
Frank Manasly, scalp wounds aud shoulder
blade broken.
james Mckee, head cut
William Kelly, scalp and body wounds
james McCool, contusions on the head and
leg.
Peter Toner, lad, head badly cut aud leg
broken.
james Mckee, face cut
+. I. Lea, shoulder crushed.
John Forrest scalp wounds
Wiiliam Brecker, face and arms aud legs
cut and bruised
William Barker scalp wounds and cut
about legs.
The grief Of the relatives and friends Of
the stricken victims was terrible to witness,
but i Is certainly due 10 some kind provi-
dence that the explosion was delayed long
enough 70 permit ths majority OF the en-
ployes TO ba beyond harms reach when it
came Five minutes difference would have
meant probably 100 deaths, and the noon
whistle was a safety Sgnal whose significance
was not appreciated Until tho horror OF the
scene tlled the saved workmen with awe
There were some heroic rescues, nor to
! speak of the courage aud bravery shown by
some OF tho pOcr fellows pinneI down BY
! plies Of brick and the debris OF the factory
The firemen did splendid work, and but for
the promptituie with which the amos we're
conquered the death list would have been
terribly swelled
he boilers were inspected six months ago
and were thought to be in first class con-
dition The real cause Of the explosion will
probably never be known, as the engineer
was killed outright

ll tarenoes in Convention.

hf'ersnces IN Convention
CotuM o., March Is. The joint com
ventlon e. Ohio and Pennsylvania miners
and operators continued in session all day
with the same blue prospects of coming 10 an
agreement upon a scale OF prices for mine
labor Almost the entire day was spent ia
hopeless wranglmg, mterspersed occasionally
with q caucus Of the opposing factions Late
IN the day concessions from the original do
mands were made by bota operators and
miners as follows: The operators offer was,
for Hooking coal, sixty cents in summer and
sixty-iiVe cents ia winter per ton, and Pitts
burg coa, sixty-nine cents in summer and
seventy-laur cents Ia winter per ton. The
miners proposition was for Axty-hve cents
the year around for Hooking and seventy
four cents for Pittsburg coal No further
concessions were made by either miners or
operators and consequently no agreement re-
suited,
Strenuous efforts were made by several
prominent members of the convention TO
bring about an amicablo settlement Of af-
fairs, and ). II. Hysel, a melabcr OF the OHIO
Legislature, attempted 10 pour oil upon the
troubled waters, but IA vain. The conven-
tion adjourned sine die.
As result OF this convention some bitter
strikes may be Looked for in the mining dis
tricts of Ohio and Pennsylvania during the
summer and the direful scenes of few years
ago repeated, much 30 the misery OF the
miners and cost and discommodity.sf the
operators. The present scale Of prices holds
good until May /, which date may tell sad
story. The position Of the miners is deter
mined one Of positive permanenev, and they
viii probably declare a general strike on May
unless their demands are complied with

President Harrison Favors Its Application
TO the Public Debt.
WASHINGTON, March l5.-On the strength
Of a side remark recently made by President
Harrison, some holders Of United States
bonds are anticipating bnil market.
The president said that there was no neces-
sity fer an extra session Of congress to reduce
the surplus, as there would be no such thing
as a surplus if our debt was reduced, and that
il should be diminished as rapidly rs bond
calls could be made. The more frequently
bond calls are made on the plan followed dur
ing the past year, by advertising for voun-
tary sales, the moro rapid will be the rise in
this prime security
It is believed there win soon be begun a
series OF purchases Of bonds which win reduce
the surplus TO the minimum Then the presi-
dent intends 70 recommend liberal expendi-
ture for new war ships, and this viii add to
10 the depletion Of the accumulation il the
treasury.

The Hartford Hotel Disaster Due TO Will
ful Negligence.
HARTFORD, March l5.-Coroner Sperly
published his report on the recent Park Cen
tral hotel disaster iu which twenty-th per-
sons were killed He finds that the building
was OF frail construction, but that no build
ing could probably have resisted the explo-
sion. The boiler was well built aud was six
years old. Il was left unattended from mid
night until a. M, except that George
Gaines, the colored night porter who was
killed, was expected TO have charge Of the
furnace The fires were banked as usual and
Edward Boyle, a dissipated character, was
left asleep in the furnace room that night
No evidence is found Of local weakness Of the
boiler. 1t contained plenty Of water, and
the disaster was due 70 overpressure and the
safety valve being out Of order 1t is clear
that the boiler outlets were closed that night
and that some person, probably the night
Janitor, turned on the drafts in the early
morning. He concludes: "I am forced to the
conclusion that the explosion was caused by
the willful negligence of Alexander Thuer
and Amos Risley, and that said Thuer and
Risley did on the 18th Of February. 1889
willfully and negligently cause the death at
Hartford OF the following persons Here
