asked that the confirmation be rcconsid-
cred. which was done. To-day followed
the withdrawal. Receiver Smith, the pres
cnt incumbent of the office, was among the
number who were recently charged with
being short in their accounts and i'crcval
was appointed to succeed him. Since then
the secretary has been informed that Smith
was all right and by way ofvindicaton
wanted to prove his innocence and then re-
sign. The secretary, i'll order to put Smitl,
right, has held up Pcrcival and continued
Smith. Senator Pierce says:
Mr.. Smith was removed by the secretary OF

Packing house at South Omaha, which re-
suited in the instant death of at least one
man. the subsequent death OF two Others,
and which may he followed by the death
of others. The explosion occurred in the
boiler room of the Old packing house.
There is located u battery of nine boilers,
two of which are reserves. The outside
boiler OF this battery burst, tcaring great
holes in the walls of the machinery depart
mcnt adjoining The noise OF the explosion
soon attracted the great army of packing
house employees to thesccne, where bcneatl,
the ruins perhaps twenty-five men lay
wounded. An alarm of fire was sounded
and the fire department soon arrived on
the scene, joining forces with the Armour
Cudaliy fire department, and the two soon
quellcd the flames. A crowd of one hun
tlrc,l men went to work on the debris, liur-
richly working to relieve the sufferers, and
in a short time had the dead and injured
removed and taken to st. Joseph hospital.
