A SCENE OF HORROR.


A Boiler Explosion at Pittsburgh Kills
Five Men and Injuries a Dozen Others.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March ia battery of
boilers at the West Point boiler works of R.
Monroe Il Sons on the corner of Twenty
third and sandman streets, exploded short
~ after IL o'clock, completely wrecking the
plant and burying number of men in the
ruins. Five have been taken out dead and
three badly injured, and there are still
number in the ruins. A dozen others were
quite seriously injured, some of them, it is
thought, fatally. The names of the dead al
ready removed from the wreck are:
August Lindebaugh, engineer, frghtfully
multi ated; Charles Allenbacke, laborer, head
and body boiled; Daniel Clark. boller-maker,
mangled and scalded; John Remheimer,
boiler-maker, badly scalded; James Carton.
Martin Connors, who was SO terribly
scalded that he will die, is "a years old and
unmarried He came to this city short
time ago from Baltimore. The names of
the most seriously injured are: John Forest,
helper, aged 26 years; Harvey Barr, a
helper, aged q years; William Kelly, John
Barber, Frank Maneske and james CARNEY,
boiler-makers. Cartney was recently mar
r1ed. The others are single
The explosion occurred Just after the
noon whistle had sounded, and many of
the workmen had left the works to get
their dinners. The conclusion shook
the buildings for several squares. In
few minutes q large crowd had
gathered about the wreck and the
scene was most agonizing. Wives,
mothers and children ran about wringing
their hands and crying, eagerly search
ing for their loved ones. The first body re-
moved was that of the engineer, Linde-
baugh. He was almost unacceptable.
Allenbacke's remains were next taken out,
and in few minutes the mangled body of
Clark was found. Remheimer, Howard
and Carton were next removed
The cause Of the explosion has not
been learned. The building was large
one-story brick structure and was for
merly occupied by Wi liam Smith l. Sons,
pipe manufacturers. The plant was a
valuable one, and will prove a complete
loss Nothing remains but mass Of brick,
mortar and timbers. The firm was unable
to approximate the loss, but it is safe to say
that it will reach $4,000. The conclusion
shattered windows and damaged houses for
three blocks, and it is a miracle that more
people were not killed or injured

Tho Nipsic Still Atloat. and the Germans

AUCKLAND, March 15-Advices just re-
ceived from Samoa show that there was
no basis for the sensational rumor of an
engagement between the United States
man of-war Nipsic and the German cor
vet Olga Far from this, the German
officials in the island have entirely given
up their aggressive policy. The proclama-
ton Of martial law has been publicly
withdrawn, and the Germans have aban-
doned all claim to the right of searching
incoming vessels for articles contraband
of war. Both these steps have met
with the hearty approval Of all foreign
residents at Apia, and have had a
quieting effect. Unusual tranquility pre-
wallis throughout the island Mataafa, how
ever, has force Of troops estimated to be
6,O0O strong. Tamasese's army consists of
about 700 men. The men-of-war, German,
American and English, still remain at Apia
ready for any emergency that may arise.
