WILL SEND A PROXY TO CHURCH
London's Roman Catholic Mayor Declares
His Intentions

His Intentions.
LONDON, Sep SO-The attitude of
Lord Mayor Knill, who is a Roman Cath
Ollie. toward the Church of England, was
foretold by him at the Guildhall meeting
in answer to questions put by liverymen.
On official occasions, accompanied by re-
ligious services, he will not attend serv-
ices of the Church of England as has been
customary with his predecessors, but will
send a proxy.
He will not attach to himself, more
over, a Protestant clergyman as his chap
lain.
There was strong opposition against
the selection of Alderman Knill as Lord
Mayor on acco unit OF his religion.
Ghe liverymen of the London COM
panies, among whom there is a strong
tinge of Orangeism, voted to recommend
Alderman Phillips, a Protestant, for the
office, but the Court of Aldermen re-
jected the choice, and refused to depart
from the regular order because the alder
man whose turn it was to be Lord Mayor
was Roman Catholic.
A large crowd assembled outside the
Guildhall during the election and shouted
mo Popery."

PTTsBURG, Sep 30.-A statement in
an evening paper that Andrew Carnegie
IL on his way to this country for the pur-
pose of settling the trouble at Home
stead between the Carnegie firm and the
men caused considerable talk in labor
circles here.
Chairman Frick made the following
statement this morning: "Well, il Mr..
Carnegie is coming home have not
heard Of It, and il he was coming think
would know something about it. You
can say that there is not a particle of
truth in the story. We are satisfied with
the way that our works are being rum
and also with the men, and l don't see
why we should make any effort to effect
settlement looking toward again en-
gaging our old men.
You can also say that there Is no
truth in the story that our 28-tnch mill has
been closed down and the men paid off,
or that we intend to indefinitely suspend
operations at our Homestead plant.
Everything is going along very smoothly
and we are satisfied with the situation

COOKED BY HOT METAL

EXPLOSION OF A BLAST FURNACE.

A Report Like that of a Volcanic Erup-
tior--The UnforturAtss Enveloped BY
the Molten stun--Oompanions Could
Render But Little Assistance.
PITTsBURG, Sep. S0.--A frightful scci-
dent occurred at the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works, owned by the Carnegie
Com pany, at Braddock, yesterday morn
ing. Furnace II, one of the new blast
furnaces was being charged. The mixture
clogged up the opening and broke through
the bottom. Hundreds Of tons of molten
metal, ore, coke, etc, were precipitated
to the pit under the furnace There was
an explosion that shook the ground for
hundreds of yards. The top of the furn-
ace was blown off
Michael Brennan and Andrew Srakol
were filling in at the top of the furnace,
80 feet above, at the time. They were
standing on a small bridge between furn-
aces II and l, and the shock almost threw
them into the red hot crater. Te eXplo-
sion was in the nature of volcanic erup-
tion.
The two men could not escape the mix
ture of molten metal thrown up as it
came down about them. The stuff ran
all over the little bridge to which the
men clung in their terror and settled
around them to depth of about a foot
Their feet and lower limbs were cooked
by the hot stuff. Their companions be-
low, seeing the awful plight of the two
unfortunates, hurried to their assistance
The explosion had wrecked the bridge
to such an extent as to make it danger
GUS for anybody to go on it, After CON
siderable difficulty the men were reached
and taken off, the hot stuff still clinging
to their bodies
Their screams were agonizing as they
were pulled from the fiery bed. They
were removed to the Mercy Hospital. They
cannot live
The explosion will cost the Carnegie
Company many thousands of dollars.

coal probably to S15 a ton, rather than
the selling rate of $725 which rules in
Chicago to-day.
An officer of the coal company said this
morning that such an injunction could
only effect the Chicago people by either
advancing the rate to an exceptional
higher figure or compelling the people tc

Vessels Suffer Seriously From the
Big storm.
ERIE, Pa, Oct. 80. Vessels have been
brought into this port today that were
caught in the gale on Lake Erie yester-
day and damaged or disabled. Tugs
outside got line to the big steam barge
Veronica during last night and towed
her i'll. She was from Escanba with
ore, and her captain reports that he got
out of the Detroit river Friday morning,
and was soon after caught in the gale
sweeping eastward down the lake.
The crew had terrible eXper-
ience. Saturday a big sea stove
her deck housings, swept into
the engine room and put out her
fires. Fireman John O'Brlen was
thrown into the machinery, his leg
crushed and otherwise injured so he
will probably de. The barge was on
the point of laundering when the crew
got sail on her and beat about in the
lake off this port until the tugs got hold
of her. Scarcely man of her laIge
crew is able to do duty. Today the local
fishing fleets are able to determine the
amount of damage done the fishing
business here through the loss of nets,
etc. Nearly all the nets the fleet had
out are swept away OF destroyed, and
the aggregate losses are heavy.

OIL BURNED FiERCELY.
Flames Lick Up Property Valued
at 100000.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20. - Point
Breeze was visited again by fire at an
early hour this morning, and before the
flames could be controlled the wharves
and shipping docks were damaged to
the extent of nearly 5000, 900. The iron
bark Felix, Capt. Raines, which was
lying at the wharf awaiting a load of
refined oil. was sunk, and the bark
Elena G, loaded with cased oil, was
badly damaged. A lighter loaded bark,
with cases of oil, was burned to the
waters edge; Charles Houseman's
lime barge was destroyed, 500 feet
of wharf property was burned,
house and barn belonging to the city
were wiped out, and other property was
destroyed or damaged. The fire burned
stubbornly all day, and it was not until
late this evening that it had been ex-
tinguished. Shortly after o'clock
this morning the firemen at the pump
ing station were startled by the sound
of an explosion. A moment later the
flames shot up from the river and ball
of dense black smoke began to gather
over the harbor. The explosion heard
was caused by the bursting of a pipe
connecting the Philadelphia and At
lantic Oil reineries located on
each side of the gas works.
The oil pipes are buried un-
der the roadway above the wharves.
The escaping oil worked down through
the coal and collected beneath the fur
naces at the pumping station in such
quantities that when it became ignited
it exploded with sufficient force to break
down the retaining wall, and the whole
volume of oil spread i'll burning mass
over the surface of the water. Almost
Immediately the flames were headed off
before they reached the works of the
Atlantic Refining company, and the fire.
men were able to save the gas plant and
the Philadelphia Refining works. The
ping is covered by insurance, but the
other losses will be total.
