TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.

Eleven Persons Injured, Three Fatally, by
the Explosion of n Locomotive Boiler
Mt st. Paul, Mfnn.-Some of the Victims
Terribly Mutilated ~ The Engine Had
just Been Repaired and the Boiler was
Being Tested.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct, Is. Shortly
before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
terrible explosion rent the air at the
shops of the Chicago, st. Paul & Kan
sas City Railway Co. at South park.
As soon as the smoke and noise had
subsidized agonizing groans were heard
in the debris of the wreck, which told
too plainly that several human beings
were victims of the casualty. The en-
ployes in the shops had been repairing
an old engine, and, having completed the
work, decided to test the boiler yester-
day afternoon. Doubtless too much
steam was put on. for the boiler ex-
ploded with terrible force and eleven
persons were injured, three of them
probably fatally. Five of the victims
were terribly mutilated, and were
picked up unconscious. The others
were quite badly injured and taken to
their homes. The three who are fa-
tally injured were conveyed by spe-
cial train to the Union depot and taken
to st. Josephs hospital.
l.. 4. Newton, clerk in the COM
panys office, who was an eyewitness
Of the accident, said: ''The engine had
just been brought out of the shops,
Hostler May being in charge. Sud
denly the explosion occurred, and | saw
May shoot up in the air and come down
behind some freight cars, so feet away.
Clancy, who was standing near, was
thrown two car lengths away. The
explosion tore the fire box out and
ripped open the right side of the boiler.
The boiler head was blown 100 feet
away and through the machine shop
door"
The following is the list of injured:
J. Clowry, John May, Martin McGrille,
VIM. Davidson, David Zicld, James
Dickson, James Slavin. Charles New

sian, Countess Marie Baranow, a very
great lady, of exquisite beauty You
know how beautiful the Russians are,
or, at least, how beautiful they seem
to us-with their delicate noses, their
sensitive mouths, their eyes SO close
together, of an indefinable color, a
blue gray, and their cold, rather hard
charm. They have something wicked
and seductive. naughty and melting,
tender and severe, utterly charming to
a Frenchman. At bottom, perhaps, it
is only the difference of race and blood
that makes us see so much in them.
Her doctor had, during many years,
known that she was threatened by
disease of the chest, and endeavored to

winter, but she obstinately refused to

autumn of that year. the doctor COM
PEELED her to leave for Mentone.
She was alone in her compartment of
the train, her servants occupying an
other. She leaned against the window
little sadly, watching the country
and villages as she whirled past, feel
ing very isolated. very lonely in life.
At each station her footman, Ivan,
came to see if his mistress had every
thing she desired. He was an old
servant, blindly devoted, ready to obey
any order she might give him.
Night fell, the train rolled on at full
speed She could not sleep. she was
totally unncrved. Suddenly the idea oc-

French gold. She opened her little bag
and emptied onto her lap the glisten-
ing stream of metal
But, of sudden, breath of cold air
caught her cheek. She lifted her head
in surprise. The door opened, The
Countess Marie, in dismay, threw a
shawl over the money spread out in
her lap and waited. A moment after
ward man appeared, bareheaded,
wounded in one hand, painting and in
evening dress.
He reclosed the door, sat down and
looked at his neigllbor with a aglittering
eye, then wrapped his wrist in hand
kerchief.
The poor woman felt faint with
fright. This man must have seen her
counting her money and had come to
kill her and steal it.
He still fixed his gaze upon her,
breathlessly, his face drawn, evidently
awaiting to spring upon her.
He said, brusquely:
madam, have no fear"
She answered nothing. She was in
| capable of opening her lips. She heard
| her heart beating and a buzzing in her
| ears

continued
Still she said nothing; but in a sud

poured onto the carpet like water
from a spout.

She, terrified, rose, casting all he,

her onto the seat, holding her by the
wrists.

collected the money, feeling under the
seats, and looking into the farthest
