Cause of the Explosion Not Yet Known.

PITTsBURG, March 14.-The battery of
boilers at the West Point boiler-works of
r. Monroe & Sons, at the corner of Twenty
third and Smallman streets, exploded short
ly after 10 O'Clock this afternoon, complete
ly wrecking the plant and burying num-
Der of the men in the ruins. Four have
been taken out dead and three badly in
jured, and there are still number in the
debris. A dozen others were quite serious
ly injured. many of them, it is thought,
fatally. In few minutes a 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 searching for
concluded late this afternoon. All the en-
plOyes have been accounted for. Of the Cd
workmcn, five were killed and eleven i'm
lured, number of them quite seriously.
Stephen Garter hGMever is the only one hin in
die. The list of killed is as follows:

CHARLES AULENBACHE, boiler-maker, for
pASffEI CLARK. bOiier-maker. thirty years

William Kelly, Harvey Barr, Will
Jam Froner, William Brecker, James
all moro or less cut and bruised, but not
seriously hurt. Peter Toner, 9 boy. was
fully injured about the head and legs, but
will recover.
The cause of tho explosion is mystery.
No investigation has been made as yet.
Some of the men said they heard the
gauge tried just a few, minutes
before the explosion, and that every
thing seemed all right. Every one
spoken to on the subject expressed
confidence in the engineer, and agreed that
he was a careful and competent man, and
one who was unusually careful in his work.
The boiler had been in use eight years. The
loss will reach $40, 1000.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. March 14-It is not often
that Senator of the United States tenders
his resignation. but the indications are that
there will soon be q vacancy in the upper
branch of Congress. During the recess be-
tween the executive sessions, this after
noon, the Republicans of the Senate held
caucus for the purpose of rearranging the
committees. This action so soon after the
committees had been fixed up created some
comment, and inquiry developed the fact
that the caucus was made necessary by the
announcement of the forthcoming resigna-
tion of Senator Jonathan Chace, of Rhode
Island. As rule the colleagues of Senator
Chace declined to talk about the matter at
all, and. several Republicans said, this
evening, that they know nothing whatever
about the matter. Senator Chace was
found in his home and in response TO ques-
tions said said that he was not surprised
that the old story was afloat again.
Even while / was in the House," he
said. lit was reported again and again that
intended to get out of Congress. 1t would

'Now, am not going into my intentions.
It is very well known that never wanted
to come here, and that have been sick of
Washington for some years. | have fre-
quently said that desired to leave Wash
ington and to retire to private life."
"That is rather unsatisfactory answer
to the question, Senator, and should Like
to have something more definite"
THAT is all care to say on the subject at
present.
With this the interview come to an end.
Senator Aldrich has gone to Rhode Island.
His departure was rather unexpected, and
this leadsto the impression that he has gone
home to arrange the preliminaries for the
election of successor to his colleague. A
Republican Senator said, this evening.
that there is not the slightest doubt that
Senator Chace will resign. The reason AS
signed for his action is that the climate of
Washington is not suitable for the Rhode
Island man, and the reason that so much
secrecy is maintained is, probably, the de-
sire on the part of Messrs. Chase and AL
drich to control the selection of the next
Senator from the State.

HUMPING.

A camel that had two high humps
Said: "My beauty is marred by these
Jumps.
Perhaps a hard cough
Might make them drop off
Or series of vigorous jumps"
We are humping" with our work to
enlarge our great store, and will "ge t
there" duly, as we always duly. j..
Meantime as you, perhaps, do not need
to ''hump" as we and the camel do, it is
no sign that you may not take on a hard
cough, as the camel thought of doing.
1t il the time of year for it.
Do you want to save sickness, save
doctors bills, save money! Be properly
clothed. See that you do not swelter
under winter Overcoat; neither be
tempted to go without one. Get a

derwear. Be properly clothed as to
that. Come to us and we will prescribe

cine will cost you.
