THREE MEN KILLED,
Blown Up and Burned by the Explosion
 of a Nest Boilers.

Blown Up and Burned by the Explosion
 of a Nest Boilers.
 W1LKEsBARRE, Penn., Nov. 11.-A boiler explosion took place at Mt. Pleas. ant, small mining town in the south ern part of this county. at o'clock yes terday morning and killed three mon.
 A. Pardee S Co.,, coal operators, have large works at MT. Pleasant. The steam power for ono of their collieries Is sup- piled by nest of five large boilers.
 At o'clock the night firemen left the place and the day firemen took charge. The latter had not been at work five minutes before one of the boilers ex- ploded, wrecking two of the other boilers.
 The report was heard ten miles away and the general impression was that an earthquake had shaken the valley.
 John Burke was thrown 15O feet in the air. He landed in small pool of water in a field. He was horribly man gled and burned and died an hour later.
 Frank Munck and Joseph Reno, two Hungarian laborers, who were in the engine-house, were also killed. Their bodies were badly mangied. Reno had his arm and one leg torn off
 The cause of the accident is said to have been the introduction of cold water into one of the boilers.

Paid for His Trouble.

The Providence Journal relates a New port incident of which wealthy cottager was the hero. He had been to see the surf, and got ducl1ing from a big wave. He therefore started for home on one of the terrible electric cars which the cottagers so bitterly oppose. When the conductor came around he fumbled ill his pockets for money to pay his fare, but in vain. The conductor offered to pay the fare out of his own pocket and trust his passenger for re- payment. This offer was accepted, and tho indebted party asked the conductor where he could be found, to whish the reply was given that he was either Cn the cars or at the car-house most of the time. This cid not satisfy him, and he wanted to know where he lived, as he said that his bene- factor should be well paid for his trouble And go he was, for when he arrived homo at breakfast the next morning he found 0 nice, fat letter awaiting hlm, and was greatly surprised upon opening it, for folded in large sheet of paper, without a word written on 1t, which gave the envelope Q bulky appearance, there rested single nickel the fare charged on pthe cars. On the exterior of the envelope was the name of the man for whom the favor had been done.

JACKSON WINS.
Jem Smith Badly Worstcd by the Coloret
 Australian.

Australian.
 LONDON, Nov. 11.-In the boxing match at the Pelican Club last night between Peter Jackson, the Australian champion, and Jem Smith, champion of England, Jackson badly worsted Smith during two rounds, whereupon Smith deliberately cross-buttocked his op- ponent. A claim of foul was at once made and allowed, and the referee gave the fight to the Australian. The match, which was for S5. 1000, was witt messed by large audience, and much excitement was displayed over the re- suit.
 Among the spectators were noticed 0 number of Members of Parliament, both Lords and Commoners, and the elite of London was well represented. Smith won the toss for position. In the first round there was lively exchange of blows, some of them very heavy ones, and at the close Smith was v1sibly blown, while the colored pugilist was still apparently fresh. In the second round Jackson followed up his advantage by forcing the fighting, and did both heavy and skillful work. He knocked Smith all over the ring. Tho English man finally grasped the rope with his right and guarded against Jackson $ blows with his left. Seeing that his po- sltlon was hopeless one, he suddenly made rush and grappled Jackson in regular wrestler fashion, easily throw ing the Australian before tho latter could realize what was happening. When the foul was allowed Smith pre- tended to be surprised, and boldly de- nied that he had gone outside of light ing tao tlcs.
 Being unable to secure a decision in his favor he became enraged, and at tempted to force Jackson into a bare knuckle fight. He was so violent that the police interfered and forcibly re- moved him from the ring. He was af. terward persuaded to shake hands with the victor, but his display of malice and bad temper had set the spectators against him and he lost many friends.
 All sporting experts present agree that Smith was beaten on all points, and his claim to the championship of the world is completely exploded.

The Millers and Other Relative Workers

Jackson Whips Jem Smith--The Colored Fighter Knocks tho Briton All Over the
 Rtng-Smith Tries Foul Means, and the
 Round.
 LONDON, Nov. 11.-A mass meeting of bakers was held yesterday in Hyde Park, at which great enthusiasm was manifested over the proposal to organ ize general strike in that trade. The crowd numbered many thousands, yet so numerous are the bakers of London that it Is doubtful if majority of the however, may be counted on to join in the strike, for the interchangeable John Burns has been at work among them for weeks, and he has performed his work we'll, as he usually does.
 Burns is an incarnation of the labor spirit of London to-day, and the stud ent of social conditions may learn more of the real situation by observing Burns methods than by delving in the pages of the learned political eoono- mists who from their closets evolve theories to fit conditions which ought to exist, but do not. Burns has the Ma poleonic quality of making his follow CTS believe thoroughly in his power to command success, and the bakers are confident that they will win, as if vic- tory were already within their grasp. Such enthusiasm and confidence Is worth everything to a leader. Whether or not Burns, like the Little Corporal, believes he is under lucky star. he has no trifing idea of his own ability, and he now expresses his intention, if neces- sary, to withdraw the millers and the workmen in a number of other trades more or less closely connected with the bakers if the masters show too much hesitation in granting the bakers de- mand.
 The failure of any one of Burns schemes would doubtless prove to be the Waterloo of the present labor movement in England. but as yet tho stocky and plucky young Scothman is working in litz.

Velocity of Electric Signals.

Wheatstones clailn of 2SS,000 miles per second as the velocity of electric signals has never been confirmed. Prof. Gould $ Investigations show that aerlal telegraph wires on poles transmit electricity at the rate of from 14,000 to 16,00o miles per sec ond, and that the velocity of transmission increases with tho distance between the wires and the earth, or, in other words, with the height of suspension; and that subter- ranean wires, like submarine cables, trans init with reduced rapidity Agan, while wires suspended at a given height arc known to transmit signals at velocity of some lc, 900 miles per second, taosc that are suspended higher give a velocity of from l6OOO to 24 900 miles,

 The station agent at Benham was a Joker from way back, and it was cold week when he couldn't spring something new on the boys, says the New York Sun It was a railroad Junction, and more or less drum merS, advance agents and other men who mad cut thelr eye teeth were always to be found there waiting for train. One of Dicks best guys proved his ruin With the help of his wife he riCSed up lay figure to represent a fashionable young lady, and at a proper time he would seat her on a baggage truck in a shady spot on the depot platform. In the Sem-darkness the figure was perfect. One hand held a parasol and the other pressed a handkerchief to her lace, as If she were ill great distress A wire was attached to her back and was con- ducted into the ticket office, and at given moment Dick could cause the figure to turn back somersault over the truck by pull on the wire.
 Many and many man got sold on that young lady, and 1t had got to be an old story when "fresh'' came along one evening and tho boys gave Dick the tip He set his trap and waited for results. On the same train with the ''fresh'' came a director of Dicks road-a hefty old chap about fifty years old. He was not known and had no occasion to introduce himself. Somehow or other tue "fresh'' refused to bite but the director did. Getting uneasy after waiting awhile, he began walking the platform, and by and by his gaze fell upon the female in the shadow Cf the freight house. He ad- vanced rather cautiously, and as he came up he lifted his hat and saluted:
 "Ahem! Good evenng!"
 There was no response and he walked on few feet, and turned and retraced his steps.
 'Ahem! Beg pardon, but are you in trouble?n he asked.
 She did not reply and he walked away again and returned to say:
 "If you are in trouble and need friend let me know"
 She was still dumb and he did not know what to make of 1t. After moment he ad- Vanced and touched her on the shoulder and had begun to remark that she would find in him g friend, when wire was pulled and she tipped backward over the truck The good man rushed to her assistance, and 1t was not until he had her in his arms that he discovered the sell. At about the same mo- ment there were chuckles and suffaws and tltters from thirty or forty people who were ''on,' and the director realized the put-up job. He hadn't q word to say, but he fol- lowed that wire to the window, satisfied himself as to who worked it, and early next day Dick got the bounce and had to go clear to California to strike another job.

THE New York Tribune says the numerous defeats of the republicans, in the late elections, are "medicinal!' This is quite philosophical, and may. perhaps, be an indication that, seeing they must accept it, however bitter it may be, our republican friends are going to take their medicine ''like a little man." Much good may it do them.

Our Foreign Commerce.

For the fiscal year closing Jun,
80, our foreign commerce will show
an increase over the corresponding
period preceding. For the latter
1t was fifteen hundred and twenty
five million dollars, including the
exports and imports of bullion.
This years Government returns
have not been completed later than
the month OF April, but during ten
months the total is thirteen nun
dred and forty million dollars. The
same average during May and June
will swell the foreign business of
the year to little over sixteen
hundred million dollars, greater
than it has ever been before ex-
cept once, when it reached sixteen
hundred and fifty millions. Dur
ing the ten months our merchan.
disc imports by almos. forty mill
ion dollars, but during April the
imports were considerably greater.
We are now the fourth nation in
point of commerce, Great Britain
being first, Germany second and
France third.

The credit system is the great

and laboring classes contend. 1t
comes like q thief in the night. Ii
robs home of it's freedom, OF its
luxury, of its happy faces and OF
its intended Likeness to that other
home not made with hands. 1t
robs the fai mer of free thought and
speech. 1t letters and cramps the
faculties until there is no outlet
nor inlet TO reason, and for this
cause he becomes an inmate OF an
insane ASYLUM. His master, the
creditor lashes him with those fear.
full instruments, debt and mortgage
until he is oftimes driven to a sui
cide's grave. 1t robs his wife, to
whom he is pledged by all that Is
endearing and sacred. 1t robs his
offspring that bind the bonds more
firmly; these are the gifts OF God,
who created them for him in his
own image. Drop it as If it we're a

for its poison will faint generations

Burn Y0mr Letters.

So much mischief has been done
by the foolish habit of keeping old
letters, that it is wise to adopt the
rule OF destroying them at once.
Their mission is ended, what are
they good for? II may like TO
read them while recovering from
an Illness" says some one. Pshaw |,
AS il these would be the tonic
you need at such u time. Better
tar breath of pure air. Ne are
all prone to brood too much at
such times, and need no such help
in that direction. Let this plea Tor
the burning of letters be u strong
one. Business letters should be
filed and labeled. Have blank
book into which copy such dates
or extracts as may be of value in
the future references. This can be
done when letters are answered..
Then burn them and see the ashes.
II is the sorrows instead Of joys,
that most letters contain. They
are the safety. valve for deep feeling
from friend TO friend, good in their
time, but sometimes worse than
useless in the future. Every day
brings new experiences. We are
constantly changing, and In many
cases would be ashamed of our
own letters written ten years ago.
