BY EXPLODING METAL.
Frightful Accident at the New
Jersey Steel Works.
A WORKMAN's EYES BURNED OUT


Four Others Horribly Gashed by Flying
Pieces of Hot Metal-All Injured So
Seriously That There Is No Hope Of
Recovery-A sicIsenIng Spectacle.
TRENTON, n. j., Dec. 23-About O'Clock
yesterday afternoon an explosion occurred
at the New Jersey Steel and Iron works,
fatally injuring five men. A large mass
Of molten metal, known as ''cinder," had
been taken from one OF the furnaces to IN
dergo the process OF cooling. This is done
by dashing buckets OF water upon it after
it has been exposed to the air long enough
to somewhat abate the white heat at which
it energies from the furnace. The man in
charge Of the furnace determines the
proper time to apply the water, and the
men in readiness with the buckets are re-
quired to follow his orders.
Neglected Co Walt for Orders.
One of the helpers. Michael Fuda, with
out waiting for the signal, threw his buck
ct of water upon the "cinder" almost as
soon as it was taken from the furnace. A.
the water struck the huge mass the in
tensely heated metal exploded with deaf
ening report, hnrling in all directions
large pieces OF iron, some Of them weigh.
ing hundreds OF pounds. Fuda aud his
four companions, who were standing
around the "cinder," were thrown to the
ground covered with horrible wounds,
their clothing and flesh burning and emit
ting sickening odor.
Their Horrible Wounds.
Fuda, who stood few feet nearer to
the "cindern than the others, had his eyes
burned completely out. In the back Of
his neck was burned large hole and sew
eral holes were burned in his body
Jacob Kress had his clothing almost en-
tirely burned of, and was terribly burned
and mangled about the body and limbs.
George Sintall had the flesh burned of
many parts of his body, exposing the
bones.
Michael Soperip had a horrible cash cut
in his abdomen by flying piece OF the hot
iron, and his burns are SO severe that the
physicians have no hopes of his recovery.
Michael Gosula's burns were so numer-
Gus aud serious as to render him almost
beyond recognition.
Their Recovery Doubtful.
The injured men were removed to the
hospital. They are all in a critical condi-
tion, and the chances Of the recovery OF
any of them are small.
The rail mill, the scene OF the explosion,
presented a horrible sight, great chunks OF
flesh that had dropped from the bones OF
the mangled and roasted men filling the
air with sitting odor, while the sur
roundings bore many traces Of the force Of
the flying pieces of metal The escape OF
the five men from instant death and OF
others ia the mill from injury is miraeu-
ious.

The Popular and nandaome Cashier who
Lived beyond Hls Means.

AsANeN bey0nd isis Means.
MEaiDEN, Conn, Dec. 23.-Cfreat excite
meut was created In social circles yester-
day by the announcement that John Wat
son, the popular and handsome young
cashier aud head bookkeeper of the Meri.
den Silver Plate company, was a defanlter.
Watson had been IN the employ OF the
company for nearly twelve years, and had
their confidence absolutely. All their
funds passed through his hands, and only
a few days ago II was learned that his &C.
counts were wrong. When confronted
with the evidence he admitted his guilt.
The company endeavored to get him to
straighten his accounts, and undoubtedly
would have forgiven all and kept the mat
ter quiet II he had remained at his post.
He leaves behind him an affectionate wife
and two young children. The amount OF
his misappropriation is not known. The
popular impression is that 1t is very large.
Watson's best friends are unable to AZ.
sign reason for the embezzlement lie
did not drink, gamble, drive fast horses.
nor have any bad habits so far as known
IN this city. Friday night he was known
to be in New York, and wrote two letters
to friends here from the Sturtevant house.
Since then there has been no trace OF him.
Those who know him best fear he has
committed suicide. He was treasurer Of
two Of the local societies, but the funds OF
both are unmolested Watson was mem-
Der OF the city government from the Third
ward, Of the Masons, knights Of Honor,
Red Men and the Home club, the most
aristocratic organization Of the kind in the
city.
The cause of his downfall can only be
accounted for by trying to live as high on
$1,000 as did those Of his associates who
drew salarles Of twice that amount.

today. The movement now includes the
employees of the Caledonian, North British
and Southwestern companies The rail
ways have given the men one days notice

The worst sufferer OF all Is the North

Aberdeen and Edinburgh have been aban-

The Generalization of the railway serv-
ice IS affecting the collieries and furnaces
and all manufacturing businesses. IL Is
feared that many establishments willhnve
to suspend operations unless the strike

Mr.. Atkinson on tho Federal Election Inv.
Mr.. Atkinson was right in referring to
the fact that there is no present need Of
a Federal Election law in West Vir.
ginia. Our elections are as free from
frauds at the polls as those OF auy State
in the Union, Democratic claims to the
contrary notwithstanding. The frauds
in West Virginia have taken place after
the polls wero closed and the votes were
counted, and when Democratic mana
gers found it necessary to throw out
ballots to prevent legally elected Repub.
|ican Congressman from receiving their
certificates Of election.
The Federal Election bill, however,
is designed to prevent fraud and in
timidation a. tho polls Of other States,
where citizens are prevented from yot-
ing, and to guarantee 10 every voter, re-
gardless Of race and color, his rights as a
citizen under tho Constitution. In the
language Of MIR. Atkinson, where is the
honest man who can oppose q measure
like that" Certainly he will not be
found among the honest men Of West
Virginia.
