tally Injured in a Rolling Mill.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 14.-At haIf-past IL
o'clock last night the peace and
quiet of Newport, KY, was disturbed
by q detonation like that of q great gun, ac-
companied by a trembling of the earth that
ratified doors and windows. The explosion
rounded rs if it came from Swift's rolling
mill. on the right bank Of the Licking. All
around the mill. fc a space of over q thou
Band feet, missiles in large chunks went
hurting over house-tops and struck mi
nously on roofs and in back yarda Rumor
made naste to wing the news to- Cincln-
pati that five men were killed and an in
definite number wounded, all by a boiler
explosion in Swifts roiling-mill. This was
only partly true. A boiler twenty-four
feet long and forty-eight inches in d.
Rmeter had let go. But the immediate
fatalities were confined to two tramps
buried in the debris. whose names
are not known and whose bodies will not
be recovered tonight. In addition, two
workmen, Herman WeffiIng and
George Read, were mortally wounded.
IL any others have been hurt that fact
at l O'Clock this morning had not
been ascertained. The boiler-house was
demolished. and the financial loss Is $751;
DOG. Fragments of the boiler were found
Twelve hundred feet away.

are warmth and cleanliness. A good hog

King said: Miss Mather, now Mrs.

and was warned some time since of the
risk of her attempting to fight her way
through. even to q completion of her cen
tract with Mr.. Leavitt for his Western cir

from the certificates of the ply eicians now
of an affidavit from the physician who
first attended her in San Francisco. He
states that on Oct. Is he occu-

her suffering with violent hysterla and
nervous prostration; that he calico on her
several times after and found her in an M

was an entire stranger to him. DIR. g.

able TO appear at the tbeater. Miss Mather,
still weak, resumed work, and continued,
although in distressing condition. until she
reached Omaha. where she was again stricK-

Two physicians of Omaha, Drs. Charles
Rosewater and o. p. Hoffman. certify
that they have made a thorough ex-
