Scottdale, Pa, the Scene of Another Dis
aster.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, Feb. 16.-An explo-
sion occurred in the Meyer mine to-
day, which fred the mine and caused
the death of several men.
The accident was caused by miner
accidentally dropping naked lamp at
the bottom of the shaft, which
is JOG feet deep. The lamp
exploded, igniting the accumu-
lated mine gas which exploded with
terrible report and scattered the fame
in every direction. The mine caught
fire and the large fan used for ventilat-
ing the mine was destroyed, and the in
terror of the mine seems to be one mass
of furious fame.
A large number of men are at work
turning water into the mine. Moutz
Greek has been turned from its course
into the mine shaft, and is pouring a
large quantity of water into the seething
abyss.
The Meyer coke plant, one of the
largest in the region, employed 500
men. The men at this place had re-
fused to join the ranks of the strikers
and the works were running full
Fifty miners were at work at the time
Of the explosion. All escaped except
four bumpers, who are known to have
been killed, and six or seven men, who
are reported missing

BOILERS DEADLY WORK.

A Large Factory Blown Pieces to by an
Explosion.
QUEBEC, Feb. 12.-At 9:45 this morn
ing the boiler in the Quebec Worsted
Company's factory at Hare Point eX-
ploded, demolishing the engine house
and about half the factory.
A large number of hands we're atwork
in the mill at the time the explosion oc-
CURED, and thirty or forty, and perhaps
more, were killed.
The works of the Quebec Worsted
Company, where the explosion oc-
Cured, are situated at Hare Point, on
the northeastern outskirts of the
city. They cover a large area,
and employ more hands than any
other manu- a turing establishment IN
the city. They had been closed down
for two weeks while the boilers and ma
chinery were being overhauled and re-
fitted. Operations were to have been
resumed this morning, and about 800
of the operatives were on hand.
Owing to some cause, however,
the machinery was rot started and they
were dismissed. Many of them, how
ever, remained about the building,
number keeping in the vicinity of the
engine room for the sake of warmth.
About 9:45 there was sudden explo-
sion which completely wrecked the en-
CINE house and dye house, and dam
aged large part of the main building.
A great crowd gathered imme-
diately, and the work of res
cue commenced. The fire bri
gade was called out, but fortu-
natelv the horrors of fire were not add
ed to the calamity. A battery OF artil-
lery was ordered out to assist the police
in keeping order and controlling the
enormous crowd of excited men and
women who blocked up every avenue
of approach.
A good force of doctors and surgeons
is on hand, and the wounded are
receiving prompt attention. Many
persons who left their homes
this morning to 60 to work
in the building are reported to be miss
ing, but the numbnr is probably much
exaggerated, for, as already stated, the
greater proportion had left the building
before the explosion occurred.
The cause of the accident is not at
present known, but it is thought some Of

the fires were out, and SO caused stop

the conversation, which lasted a

a man who was evidently an accomplice
of the stylish stranger, snatched from

The developments at the state prison

of the 14th, were of a most startling
character, and indicate that bad Albert
Garvin, of Joliet, H., not been made
warden at Saltwater nearly 500 prison
ers would have set themselves loose
by their own hands. The testimony
showed that there was absolutely no
discipline under Warden Randall, that
the prisoners only worked when they
wanted to and were armed to the teeth.
When Mr.. Garvin and his deputies
made their search of the cells, they
were surprised to speechlessness by
what they found. In one place they
ran upon twenty-six fine steel saws for
cutting bars, in another two slung-shots,
and in another twenty-five
inch steel jimmy. Wrapped up
in a ''lifer's" bed clothes they
found double-bladed axe and two ten
inch jackscrews. A seven year man in
for criminal assault had managed to
conceal hand axe, and knives and ra-
zors were found in blood-curdling pro-
fusion. There were sixty-seven knives
with blades from five to ten inches long
and ftty-one razors. Besides this ar

JACK THE RIPPER IN JAIL.
A Man Directly Connected with the
Whitechapel Murder.

A Man Directly Connected with the
Whitechape1 Murder.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-The latest discovery
made by the police in connection with
the Whitechapel murder bids fair to
connect the man Sadler, now in custody,
with the latest Jack the Ripper"
crime. The police now have in their
possession sharp, dangerous looking
knife, stained with blood and
showing traces of having re-
Gently been washed. The blood
stains were examined microscopicallv
by DR.. Phillips. the police surgeon at
tached to the Leman Street police sta
ton. DR.. Phillips has no doubt that
the stains are those of human blood.
This formidable knife has been traced
to the possession of Sadler, who, as al
ready stated, was a fireman on board
the steamer which recently arrived
from Turkey. The police have no
doubt that Sadler was the murderer of
"Carroty Nell"
From the time that it became known
that Sadler had been arrested and was
formally charged with the murder Of
Carroty Nell the greatest excitement
has prevailed in and about White
chapel. The Stepney police station,
where the prisoner was detained, is
surrounded by vast crowd of people,
mostly women. The women are eager
for sight of the prisoner. Wild threats
of lynching and tearing the prisoner to
pieces was uttered by the most
excited of these females. When the
man was removed to the police court an
immense force of police was employed,
and every precaution was necessary in
order to prevent the Whitechapel mob
from lynching the bloodstalned pris-
oner. Opinions differ as to whether
the man charged with the murder of
Carroty Nell is the murderer known as
Jack the Ripper. The inhabitants of
Whitechapel believe that he is, but the
police have not committed themselves
to an opinion on the subject up to the
present.
