A SUGGESTIVE INVITATION
To All Parties Interested TO Visit and View
the Neeld Farm,

the NeeId Farm.
In connection with the proposed visit Of
the Charities Committee, Councils and city
officials to the Neeld farm tomorrow, a
communication was sent out to all the in
vited parties yesterday which created con-
siderable talk about town. AS the Chari-
ties Committee is not supposed to have
made q report as to which farm should be
selected, and as no official action whatever
has been taken in the matter, the communi-
cation is considered to be in bad taste, at
least, though it only verifes the statement
OF fact exclusively published in THE DIS
PATCH over week ago. The following is
a copy of the letter:

latter were brought to consciousness.
The force Of the explosion tore the boiler
house, pump house and railroad tracks and
tresiles all to pieces. Windows and sashcs
for a mile around were smashed and the
walls Of several buildings cracked. The
shock was felt all over the city, aud caused
houses and business blocks to trcmble and
