A FRIGHTFUL BOILER EXPLOSION.
The Engineer Says Thunderbolt Was the
Cause of the Accident

AKRON. June ls-A portable boiler used to
drive drilling machinery at the wells of the
water works, which have been drilling in
South Akron, exploded this afternoon.
Henry Golden, who was watching the drill
ers at work, was instantly killed, his head
being blown from his shoulders. John
Harvey, driller, was fatally injured, both
his eyes being blown out, while the hot
steam left on his face a surface of white.

from him little later, shredS of flesh came
of with it. Clarence Fulton was terribly
scaldcd and badly injured Five Others were
more or less injured.
one man was thrown laO feet by the force
OF rhe explosion, while the bulk of the boiler,
weighing a ton and half was thrown 800
feet, and the derrick and other apparatus
were blown in a dozen different directions.
The ground in the vicinity of the explosion
was torn and rooted up as if by earthquake.
The engineer is positive the boiler did not
carry steam above its limit at the time, but

boiler, however, does not bear out this
theory.

BRADFORD. June ls.-A tragic story is re-
ported from the Kettle creek trout region.
1t was this district which was swept by
flames during the recent extensive forest
fires. Recently while a party of men were
passing through a dense wood which had
been burned over they stumbled on the
burned and blackened body of q man. His
identity was unknown, except that 1t was
surmised he was stranger who had been in
the wood on q trout fishing expedition.
The searchers were horrified to find q
bullet hole in the mans temple, while his
right hand, burned though it was, still
clasped a revolver. There was nothing left
on the body by which TO identify the man
and the story could only be guessed at. Its
supposed the unknown man became lost
while seeking to escape the fire, and being
cornered by the flames on every side pre-
ferred TO die by pistol rather than endure
the horrible agony of being slowly roasted

IT Is stated in California papers
that only three applications have
been filed up to July for bounties
on sugar manufactured in that
state. These were made by the
Alvarado, jacksonville and Chino
beet sugar factories. The two first
named factories turned out in 1890
$780, 900 pounds of sugar, and it is
estimated that the three factories
will turn out for the year COM
mencing July l, 1891, and ending
June 80, 1892, in the neighborhood
of 100000 pounds of sugar,
though they have the capacity of
double that amount, and will event.
ually reach it. The bounty being
two cents a pound, the sum to be
divided among them this first year
will be about 100000. There are
two or three other factories in
Nebraska and Kansas, which may
possibly earn as much more bounty
money. Should the crop in Louis
lana equal that of 1891, which was
a very large one, the bounty paid
in that state will be 100000. 1t
Is not likely that sorghum or maple
sugar manufacturers will claim
much bounty the first year, as they
are small producers, and the terms
are such that they may not comply
with them to any great ex.
tent. The total of sugar bountiea
paid in the United States for the
first year will probably be under
nine million dollars.

cial relations With other states
without the consent of all parties
to the zollverein.
1t is not yet known to what ex-
tent anything like free trade will
be established between the parties
to the new compact, but no doubt
some such arrangement will be
effected, following more or less on
the lines of free Interstate trade
between the several states of the
Union.
Prior to 1879 the tariffs uf all
central European states as con-
cerned one another was simply a
revenue tariff, but in that year
Germany began to tax all foreign
products which competed with the
like of German origin. This, of
course gave rise to retaliatory tar
ifs, Austria and Italy imposing
heavy and even prohlbitory duties
on German products. Germany shut
out Austrian and Hungarian
wheat, so Austria and Italy shut
out German sugar.
Considerable frontier trades be-
tween the three countries were
thus extingulshed, and the blow
was particularly severe on nations
coterminous with or near neigh
bors of the empire. Besides all
this, the conditions of confedera-
ton did not explicitly provide for
the taxing of internal trade as
some States claimed the right of
making tariffs of their own, and
collecting duties on goods import
ed from Prussia.
Accordingly in 1888 all the
States of Germany with Hamburg
and Bremen were incorporated
into a zollverein, and it was pro.
vided that absolute free trade
should prevail throughout the ter.
ritory covered by the zollverein
and that uniform duties should
be levied on the products of al
countries outside that territory.
This arrangement has only last
ed for two years and half, wher
it is proposed to take in with al
the German States Austria, Swift
zerland and Italy, leaving Out
France, Belgium, Holland anc
Denmark on the west. and Russis
on the east.
The war of tariffs begun in 1877!
has had the effect of reducing Ger
many's supply of wheat from Aus
tria, and so to re-establish this
traffic, Austria will admit Ger
, many's sugar, and Germany may
, repeal her duty on Italian silk.
