THIS FOR GIRLS.

\ writer gives the following good
advice to the young ladies.
"What about the girls, y says friend.
Let the girls quit their foolishness, as
Sam Jones says. If they can't make
money, let them quit spending it. 1
know young ladies in this town whose
fathers are on strain, and yet they
won't make their own dresses. They
prance all over town and CAD about and
read novels, and don't do blessed
thing to help their father maintain the
family. A girl whose father is on a
strain ought to make her own clothes
and some more besides. If she dosen t
know how she should learn. Every
member of the family should at least
earn their salt, pepper, pickles and
chewing gum. A girl of eighteen who
can't make her own clothes is not fit to
be a wife, much less mother. Rich or
poor they ought to do something useful.
Get up early and fly around and sweep
and dust and look after the dining room
and lamps After Breakfast go to the
sewing machine and make it hume and
june like your grandmothers did the
spinning-wheel. In the afternoon put
on your nice homemade dress and go to
see someone you want to see and some
one who wants to see you, and talk
sense when you get there. Oh, for
more model boys and model girls to
raise the next crop from. Young man.
don't you marry young girl who is
too proud o, too lazy to make her own
clothes. Young lady, don't you marry
a man who drinks or who spends all
! that he makes. If following this advice
stops the breed, let it stop.

Every one in the building at the time Of the
expl7s persisted. with the exception OF
Foreman Reese lie was standing at a stove
when the first explosion occurred. He rushed
Tor the door TO notify the girls, whom the sec
ond explosion knocked him down in the base
ment He maraged to crawl out OF this place
when Mine Foreman Piston saw him. Annie
O'Connell was within hundred yards Of the
building when the explosion occurred. She
was just returning from her dinner. Jane
Ann Thomas, one OF the victims. was not ON
employe She had called to see Miss Jones.
The suus made atthis factory are used by
miners to blast coal. They range in length
from six inches TO eightsen aud an eighth OF
an inch in thickness.
The cause of the explosion Is no longer q
mystery. Coroner Mahon, who is investigat-
ing the matter, has learned the facts from
Foreman Reese
From Reese's statement il appears that Mr..
Powell, the proprietor of the factory, told
Reese that as work was slack he had better
take advantage OF the occasion and have the
stock of the factory assorted. Katie Jones
was delegated by Reese TO do the asserting.
She was to pick out all the good squibs and
the remainder, which were mostly broken
squibs, she was to throw away. The latter
the girl threw into the fire. 1t happened,
however, that there was a good or loaded
squib amongst the refuse which was thrown
into the stovo and as soon as IL came In con-
tact with the live Goals ii exploded, shatter-
ing the stove and shooting across the room
like n hali from Roman candle landed on a
box II loaded squibs
These exploded in rapid succession and in
turn set fire to a keg of powder. A tremen-
dous explosion followed and the building was
literally blown 10 pieces.
A pubic funeral of the victims will take
place. Physicians who examined burned
mass which was believed 10 he the trunk of
the body Of one of the Victims have discoy-
cred it 10 be composed of tar and rags.
Charlotte Humphries, who was supposed TO
be in the factory at the time of the explosion,
has been accounted for. She did not 60 &c
the factory. She went to Kingston to visit
some relatives and remained there all night
returning here III the morning. This reduced
the victims to ten.

ofmen We're drinking early in the morning in
Terry Mckiernan's saloon, in Union City, a
small suburb Of Naugatuck.
Some remark of one of the crowd gave
offense, and from argument they passed to a
HIT bandying OF epithets and remarks neither
supplementary nor conciliatory. William
Brennan John Brennan and Thomas Cleary
were among the hottest of the disputants,
and finally recourse was had TO free Use of
fists.
While the scrinnnage was going on be-
tween the men, the proprietor of tae saloon
endeavored to quiet them and restore peace.
he was not particularly successful and at
last, worked to a high pitch of anger, he
whipped out pistol from his hip pocket and
blazed away at Thomas Cleary.
The bullet struck Cleary in the neck He
staggered, grasped his throat with his hand
and, tottering out through the door, dropped
dead ON the sidewalk

Pigott was thrown off his guard. Soon the

that all the genius of the attorney general
did not avail TO get him out Then he became
frantic in his efforts 10 straighten things.
In the height OF the excitement the letters
from Pigott TO Archbishop Walsh, which
were practically confessions of guilt, were
Unexpectedly sprung on the court by the de
fense. This was the first bomb thrown in The
Times barracks, and 1T created great conster-
nation. From that time on the case of the
defense was strengthened and that of Ihe
Times correSpondingly weakened.
Pigott wavered more and more each day
under the cross fire, and his confession now
does not come wholly unexpected
The feeling among the English people
which was at first strong against the accused,
has been gradually undergoing a change, un-
