A SERIOUS ACCIDENT-Last Monday
the boiler at the works of the McGahey
Bros, near McGaheysville, blew up
There were four men working near the en-
CINE at the time, but wonderful to say not
one of them was hurt. A large part of the
boiler was hurled into the air to height
of over $50 feet, and fell about 100 feet
from where it went up.
Mr.. "Msck" McGahey had just been ex-
aiming tho boiler few minutes before it
blew up, and if the explosion had taken
place then he would have bnsa hurled into
eternity in much less time han it takes to
tell OF this remarkable accident. The
boiler vas old and worn, and should have
been oonde mned sometime ago.-Spirlt of
the Valley, Oct. 30sh.

Two Mexicans in San Antonio, Texas,
who were in love with one girl, settled
their trouble in way that relieved the girl
of any future concern. They went into a
room and fought the matter out with
knives. When they got through there
was not enough of either one of them left
to care much about anybody.

DIFFICULTY WITH CHILL.
AMERICAN SAILORS ASSAULTED BY
CHILlANS.

ONE AMERICAN SHOT AND INSTANTLY
KILLED AND ANOTHER so INJURED
THAT HE AFTERWARDS DIED.
On the 18th of October, whilst number
of the sailors of the American man.of- wal
baltimore" were in the city of Valparaiso,
in Chill, they were assaulted by the citizens
of that city, and one American was shot
and instantly killed and another so badly
injured that he died short time after
wards. The Chilians Immediately arrest
ed the Americans who were engaged in the
fight and also some of the Chilians, not as
many, however, as of the Americans, which
they account for from the facts that the
Americans were in uniform and readily rec
ognized, and had no homes in which they
could conceal themselves, whereas the
Chilians had an opportunity to escape REQ
ignition, and had places in which they
could conceal themselves. The Chilians
promptly entered upon trial of The parties
engaged in the fight, but the result has not
as yet been divulged. As soon as our au-
thorities at Washington were apprised of
what had occurred, they instructed E,ap,
our Minister to that country, to demand
explanation and reparation. To this the
Chilian authorities replied that the occur
renee was within their jurisdiction, and
that they would give the matter proper
investigation and determine the result
Unit rarl 70 rhok 30
construe as threat from our Government.
They gave our Government reply similar
to that which our Government gave to Italy
in reference to the killing of Italians in
Nav Orleans. This correspondence seem
ed to threaten war between the United
States and Chill, and for while it created
quite sensation; but the excitement has
greatly subsidized, 40 the indications are
that the Chlians are disposed to do what is
right SO far as they understand it, and that
our Government will give them a reason.
able time to report the result of their in
vestigation, which is now going on. That
ont resort to war Is very certain, and not
to do so would be a crime against the civil
izition of this age. 1t is time that all such
difficulties should be settled by arbitration
as advised by the Pan.American Congress.
In war with a weak and distracted coun.
try like Chill, the United States could de.
tract from, but not add to her fame as a
brave nation. That she could, after great
losses and the expenditure Of millions, con.
auer the Chilisns 60 one can doubt, but it
would add nothing but rather detract from
her fame, for she would be awarded such
credit as would be given giant for falling
upon and beating sick dwarf. She would
be more apt to bs stigmatized by the ma
tions of the world as a co wardly rather
than as brave nation. If we must have
war with any nation, let it be with one that
will enable US to experience
THAT stern Joy which warriors feel
In foemen worthy of their steel.'
SO far Chill, though weak and exhausted
by her late revolution-with a permanent
government not yet formed-has shown
such p1ck, even when threatened by such
powerful nation as the United States, as
to command the respect of bra We men
