BEAVER FALLS, June 11.-[Special J.
This morning at 2 o'clock the main belt at
the rod mill of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.
parted while the mill was running at full
speed. The report was like a cannon shot.
The belt began Tapping around at a tremen-
dous rate, smashing timbers, breaking ma
chinery and knocking everything about
The men took to their heels. To add to the
confusion the electric lights went out
A big piece Of timber then fell and broke
another belt, which, together with the first,
made a deafening noise. The engines, re-
leased from the tension of the belts, ran at
terrible rate of speed, during which time
the air was filled with flying timbers, pieces
of belt and dust. 1t took quite little time
to shut down the engines and restore order,
when it was found tina; no one was badly
injured, although several received slight
bruises. The damage done to building and
machinery is considerable.

MANSFIELD, June II. .-[SpeciaL IA
sensation was created in school circles in
this city this evening. The High School
commencement exercises were held in the
Memorial Opera House yesterday. At
almost the last moment the valedictorian,
Miss Katherine Ink, daughter of a promi-
nent drygoods merchant, submitted her
yaledictory to the superintendent of the
schools. The professor rejected it, because
it contained some Objectionable references
to the teacher of the High School. The val
edictorian claimed that it represented the
sentiments of the class.
A meeting of the Board of Education was
held, at which it was decided that if the
address was made public the young LADY
would receive no diploma Miss Ink
promised to destroy it and read an essay as
her part of the programme and received her
diploma. This afternoon the valedictory
appeared in an afternoon paper. The Su-
perintendent of the Schools and the Board
of Education now say that in their regular
meeting Monday night Miss Inks diploma
will be revoked.
