KILLED In AN EXPLOSION.
Tho Globe Powder Company's BIin Near
Verona wrecked-A1bert Moss the Only
Victim OF the Accident-Other Employees
HADN'T Commenced Work,

The Globe Powder Company's Mil Near
Verona wrecked-Aibert Moss the Only
victim OF the Accident-Other Employees
Hadn't Commenced Work.
Albert, Moss. young German, was almost
instantly killed early yesterday morning
by an explosion in the works of the Globe
Powder Company, at McAbee station, on
the Plum Creek branch, not far from
Verona. The accident occurred at $3.50, and
at this hour in the morning the men were
not at work, or greater loss of life would
victim. Several of the hands who were
near by were shocked, but none hurt The
company has IS employees.
According to the story told by Superin-
tendent Albert McAbee, brother Of one
of the proprietors, Moss was engaged in
cleaning the bed plate, that is scraping the
powder from it with copper hammer.
These hammers are used for safely, and If
the powder is struck squarely the damage
from spark is slight. 1t is supposed that
Moss hit the plate and spark ignited the
powder. About ten kegs of the deadly
stuff were in the building, and a terrific
explosion followed, tearing off the root.
McAbee heard Moss cry for help, and he
thought he was imprisoned by some OF the
fallen timbers. When he reached
walked out. All his clothing but a
belt around his waist and his shoes were
burned off. His skin was badly singed
from head to foot and in places the skin
was loose and could be peeled of. The
poor fellow was wringing his hands with
pain, and the cuticle on them came of like
a glove. He was bleeding at the mouth
and he begged McAfee to throw bucket of
water over him. He tried to walk, but
soon fell on his face, and in ten minutes
was dead. The post mortem examination
revealed that the coneussion had broken a
blood vessel, and this is what caused his
death. His burns are not deep, but it is q
question whether with the internal injury
and scorched as he was if he could have re-
covered. The body will be buried at Mill
town, whereshe resided.
Mess was 20 years old and unmarried.
His only relative in the country is q
brother, who is in the regular army. Out
side of the roof, which was torn of, the
building was not wrecked, and work will be
resumed tomorrow. The plant of the
Globe Company has been in operation for q
year. The firm occupies II acres of ground,
half of which is covered with buildings of
stone. Foreman johnson stated that an ac-
cident of the kind was very rare. An ex-
plosion from using copper hammer has not
occurred for 30 years. He claims the last
one from this cause occurred in Chambers
burg in 1862. The company makes common
blasting powder
The body Of Moss was brought to Verona,
where Squire Hudson held an inquest for
the Coroner. "

ARRESTED BY A WOMAN.
Mrs. Seymour Does Not Wait for an On
GERS Aid.

GERS Aid.
James Johnston, employed at the Carbon
Iron Works, was arrested by woman last
night. About 9 o'clock, as Officer Miller
was passing along Penn avenue, Mrs. Mary
Seymour, who runs boarding house, came
running up to him and said that she wanted
to have Johnston arrested, that she had
sworn out a warrant against him before
Alderman Warner for fraud, and that he
had packed all his clothes and was leaving.
Officer Miller told her that he could not ar
rest him, as he had not seen him do any,
thing. Mrs. Seymour insisted.
Officer Miller said in a joking manner:
"You 60 ahead and arrest him and I'll lend
you my nippers"
She replied, ''Go away with your nippers,
but I'll arrest him." and running back to
the house she grasped Johnston by the
collar, and before he could recover from his
establishment she jerked him into the street
and started him up toward the Twelfth
ward police station. Half dragging and
half pushing her prisoner. she finally landed
him at the station and asked the sergeant to
lock him up. Sergent Beck was taken back
at the suggestion and told her he had no au-
thority to lock the man up She became
very angry at this, and turning to Johnston
said: "Will you stay here until l 20 to
Alderman Warmers office and get the con-
stable?"
He promised, but she reconsidered and
sent Officer Miller for the constable while she
guarded her prisoner. In short time Con-
stable Kramer put in an appearance and
took Johnston 10 charge. He was taken be-
fore the Alderman, where he gave bail for

REPLY OF THE PINKS

A MINORITY IS ACCUSED OF CRIMES.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1sPArcH.,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, Aug. 3-William A.
Pinkerton and Robert A. Pinkerton
have just sent q statement to the
Judiciary Committee of tho House of
Representatives as an answer to the charges
of Mr.. Powderly and Senator Vest concern
ing the alleged outrages of Pinkerton men
upon workingmen in strikes of recent occur
renee. Incidents of the New York Central
strike, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
strike and the strike on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad are cited.
In nearly every case the responsibility is
laid, by the statement of the Pinkertons,
at the door of the strikers themselves. This
instances we have referred to are only a
few samples of hundreds of crimes COM
mitted by member of these secret
labor organizations. to aid their
strikes or to revenge themselves
upon their employers for not submitting
to the terms and dictations of their en-.
ployes. It is undoubtedly true that the
great majority of the members of these
secret organizations are law-abiding and re-
spectacle, and that q small minority
only participate in these crimes. But
if the labor organizations are honestly
sincere in their expressions of desire
to uphold law and order, and to protect
property, they could readily discipline and
control the guilty ones, and we would no
longer witness the fearful scenes that at
tend nearly all strikes and that are such a
disgrace to labor and to this country.
"Instead OF being condemned. the out
RACES SO committed are virtually applauded,
and the criminals, if caught and indicted,
are gloriied as martyrs in the cause of labor
Notwithstanding the protestations of the
leaders at Homestead, no reasonable
man can for q moment doubt that
if the troops and deputy sher-
ifs were Withdrawn, the non-union
men now working in the mills would be
murdered, and for no offense, no wrong, no
injury to anyone. The only grievance is
that these non-union men are anxious to
honestly earn their living in employments
and upon terms entirely satisfactory to
them, but which the strikers have seen fit
to reject or to spurn."

Allegheny to Have q New Engine House
and Engine.
The Allegheny Public Safety Committee
met last night and considered the purchase
of lot in the Tenth ward for an engine
house site. The lot had been falorably rec
commended by the subcommittee at 81, 600.
Simon Drum contended that the lot was not
we'll located; that it was a more expensive
piece of property than other offers received,
and, withal, the ground itself was not suit
able Peter Born thought the whole matter
should be referred back to Councils
Chief Murphy and Chief Jones were
called upon to give their opinion regarding
the lot. Each of these officials thought the
property was the best that could be secured
in the Tenth ward, and although its price
was higher than that of several other
locations yet the value of a proper site
would easily compensate for the difference
in the price.
As result of the debate the matter was
put to vote and it was decided to purchase
the lot that had been proposed ,.'..- 5
Bids for the new first-class fire engine
were opened. They were: From the Man
chester Locomotive Works for $1,000, with
$500 off for the old Amoskeag; from the
American Fire Engine Company, operated
by Clapp & Jones. for "a, $40, with $3.50 off
for the old Amoskeag, and from the Silsby
Company for 81, 500, with $3.50 for the old
Amoskeag engine. 1t was decided to accept
the latter bid, and 1t was fay orably recon-
mended.

Great Day.
PALos, Aug. 3-This is the four hun
dredth anniversary of the day on which
Columbus set sail westward on the voyage
of discoveries, and the festivities arranged
here for celebrating the day were carried
out with great eclat.
At 6 o'clock, the hour at which Columbus
began his voyage, the caravel Santa Maria,
constructed in imitation of the vessel OF
that name belonging to the Columbus ex-
pedition, which had been lying off shore all
night, set her sails for her passage through
the lines of warships anchored outside the
bar; but, owing to dead calm, line was
run to her from the gunboat, and she was
towed down stream, followed by the Span
ish Aotilla in single file. Minister OF Marine
Montigo was on board the warship Legaspi
The voyage down the river to the bar,
which passed the monastery of La Rabida,
on which the flags of all the American States
were flying, occupied an hour. At the out
side bar were moored the vessels of the for
eign squadrons which had come to take part
in the celebration. These vessels were
formed in lines between which the caravel
passed amid laundering salutes and deafen-
ing cheers
The smoke from the guns made it impos-
sible to watch the maneuvers of the cara
vel, which followed for some distance the
route taken by Columbus 400 years ago. At
9 o'clock the little vessel returned and re-
entered the river. The town of Huelva is
crowded with visitors, and all the build
ings, both private and public, are gaily
decorated. Fifteen of the Spanish fotilla
conveyed the Santa Maria several miles,

KINGSTON, N. Y, Aug. 3.-W. W.
Cleaver is carrying on an experiment in the
way of raising silk worms in room at his
home in Unadilla. A few months ago
some eggs of this insect were shipped to
him from Philadelphia.
In prospect of this experiment he set out
a number of mulberry trees, the leaves of
which are the food of the silk worm. From
the eggs have been Matched about $4,000
worms, which are now in the several stages
of their development, some young and
small, others large enough to moult or cast
off the first skin for the one capable of
greater expansion, and still others nearly
ready to begin the spinning of the cocoon.
Each cocoon contains on the average six
miles Of thread, so fine as to be almost in
visible. Before the ball is reeled the worm
is strangled by process known to the
breeders, which assures the preservation of
the thread In one entire piece. The cocoon
in this shape is sent to the reelers, and after
other processes is converted into silk fabric.
Mr.. Cleaver thinks it possible for breeder,
even on a small scale, to realize 500 or more

Declared by New Orleans Horsemen Who
Got Bir on Montana Deal.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3.-[Special. 1.-The
State Board of Health has appealed to the
City Council for permission to deal vigor-
ously with the horses and mules here
affected by the glanders, which disease has
assumed very serious proportions The dis
ease was imported from Montana, where
the Crescent City Railroad Company got
large number of horses cheap, as well as the
express companies, omnibus and delivery
lines, etc. Some months ago the glanders
showed itself among the horses, and was
thought at first to be old. 1t has since
spread largely, due to the fact that the own
ers of these Montana horses sold all their
horses as soon as they found some of them
affected.
As there is no law covering the subject,
the Board of Health applied for extraordi-
nary powers to deal summarily with this
disease and kill all infected animals. 1t is
asserted that the street railroad traffic in
Mobile was almost suspended for time, in
consequence of glanders brought in there,
as here, by horses from Montana

NEW YORK, Aug 3.-[Special. 1-Ignatius
Wieder alias Blumenthal, who is accused of
swindling London jewellers to the amount
of $25, 900, was arraigned before Commits
sioner Shields to-day. Wieder was born in
Russia % years ago. After rowing life he
opened a shop at Piccadilly, London, as
a commission jeweler. He got his goods
from reputable firms on credit. He says
that owing to the death of the Duke of
Clarence his business didn't prosper and his
creditors became troublesome. Then he
pretended to have number of large orders
to fill and he secured many pounds worth
of precious stones and jewelry. These he
pawned and gave the tickets to his wife.
When he had raised all the money in
this way that he could he ran away to this
country. Mrs. Wieder remained in Lon
don, and when the detectives found the
pawn tickets under a mattress of her bed
she refused to incriminate her husband. A
few days ago she came to New York with
her 2-month-old baby. Both Wieder and
his wife were arrested Monday. They had
no counsel to-day, and Commissioner
Shields adjourned the case until tomorrow.

JAMES GETTY & CO.,
I8o FIRST AVENUE,
PITTSBURG, Pa,

Announce that they have some of the cele
brated o. F. C. Whisky which has become
so popular in the New York clubs and is be-
ing used so extensively by those who insist
upon having the purestand best. The flavor
of this celebrated Whisky is something un-
usual, and it is admittedly the choicest
article upon the market. Speaking concern
ing it a prominent man recently said:
'1t requires a refined taste to appreciated q
fine Whisky. o. z. C. has become popular
because 1t is so fine, and its popularity shows
that the public taste is becoming more re-
fined. do not see why people will use an
inferior article when they can secure the
best at practically the same figure. 1 use
only O. F. c."
If you have never tasted this celebrated
whisky you should certainly try it
