practice here uncquaec in this city. People
not only from the city but from long distances
in the country daily flock to his office, and in
every instance when he tells patient he can
do him good he does it. Many persons who
have been blind for years are now, thanks to
the newspapers Give DR.. Prentice any
ground to work on and he pcrfccts Il cure. In
all diseases of the mead, threat and chest he
appears to be equally successful. His brother
physicians are forced to admit that man of
his cures are almost miraculous. His success
lies in the fact that ~ -.as had great deal OF
experience in r. rurOpCau hospitals, uses the
finest surgical instruments now used, and
ayails himself of all the latest Improvement

A SCENE OF HORROR.

A Boiler Explosion at Pittsburgh Kills
Five Men and Injuries Dozen Others.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March ia battery of
boilers at the West Point boiler works Of R.
Monroe & Sons, on the corner of Twenty
third and Smallman streets, exploded short
ly after IL o'clock, completely wrecking the
plant and burying a number Of men in the
ruins. Five have been taken out dead and
three badly injured, and there are still a
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 frightfully
mutiated;. Charles Allen backe laborer, head
and body boiled; Daniel Clark. bo,ler-maker,
man gled 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 25 years; William Kelly, John
Barber, Frank Maneske and james Cartney,
boiler-makers. Cartney was recently mar
ried. The others are single
The explosion occurred Just after the
noon whistle had sounded, and many of
Ine WOrkmen had lett the works to get
their dinners. The conclusion shook
the buildings for several squares. In
a few minutes 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-
oaugh. He was almost unrecognizable.
Allenbacke's remains were next taken out,
and in a few minutes the mangled body of
Clark was found. Remheimer, Howard
and Carton were next removed. Mr.

been learned. The building was large

mortar and timbers. The firm was unable
to approximate the loss, but it is safe to say
that it will reach $4,000. The concussion
