He Says Carnegie is Not Coming Back t
 Settle the Homestead Strike.

SeGtAo bb0 nOme8tesu
 PrTTsBURe, Sep. BOA statement in an evening paper that Andrew Carnegie Is 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 Prick made the following statement this morning: "Well, if MT. Carnegie is coming home l have not heard of it, and if he was coming think would know something about it. You can say that there is not 8 particle of truth in the story. We are satisfied with the way that our works are being run, and also with the men, and l don't see why we should make any effort to effect settlement looking toward again en' gazing our old men.
 "You can also say that there is no truth in the story that our B inch mill has been closed down and the men paid of, 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
Two Men Meet a Terrible Ac-
 cident at Braddock, Pa.
EXPLOSION OF A BLAST FURNACE

A Report Like that of a Volcanic Erup-
 tion--The Unfortunatss EnveloPed By
 the Molten siun--COmpaniOns Could
 Render But Little Assistance.
 PITTsBURG, Sep. S0.-A frightful acci- dent occurred at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, owned by the Carnegie Com pany, at Braddock, yesterday morn ing. Furnace H, 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, 90 feet above, at the time. They were standing on a small bridge between furn- aces H and I, and the shock almost threw them into the red hot crater. Te explo- sion was in the nature of a 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 a depth of about 8 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 ous 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
 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.

 ment Against the P. & R.
 NEW YORK, Sep. S0.-The announce ment that the District Attorney of Cook county, Ill.,, proposes to ask for an in junction to restrain the Philadelphia & Reading Coal Company from selling coal in Chicago has made a profound impres- sion among the coal dealers here.
 The head of one of the largest concerns has telegraphed protest on the ground that such an injunction, if granted ex parte, as in New Jersey, would advance coal probably to $15 ton, rather than the selling rate of $7.25 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 to use bituminous coal.

UUNTUBs
 LONDON, Sep. 30.-Maj. Gen. the Hon. Paul Sanford Methuen addressed the First Life Guards at Windsor and found them obedient and well disciplined.
 But when it came to endeavoring to obtain an acknowledgment of the pro ceedings of Saturday he failed.
 He said he would give them five min. utes to confess who had destroyed the equipments. If they confessed he would treat the affair as insubordination, but if they did not he would have to view it as mutiny.
 The five minutes passed, but not a soldier spoke.
 The men were sent back to their quar- ters, and Gen. Methuen will now report the affair to the commander in chief, the Duke of Cambridge.

The American People AIe Growing
 Sensible,

A presidential year was al- ways looked upon by nearly the whole people as a sure in- die aion of a very dull year; there was no reason why it should be so, but the people imagined it, and that made it so. Many people imagine them selves sick, aud they go to the doctor and he gives them bread pills after looking into their case; they go home, imagine themselves we'll, and they are we'll. This is all in the imag, ination.
 Now people are beginning to imagine that as mucH business can 6e done presidential years as other years if they pay the same a tention to business.
 We will do $25,OOO mo'e business this year than we did any year since we have been in business; we will make more this year in proportion than we did last year, although we are sell ling cheaper. Why? Because our increased business enables us to buy in larger quantities, thus saving all freight charges. Tie parlor suit you bought from us last year can be pur. chased now for 20 per cent less; the same is true of oul magnificent line of chamber suits; we are going to stick to ou1 resolution and make the Waterbury Furniture Go the cheapest first class house in New England; this is worth living for.
 The sales on our Stoves ano Ranges are increasing at { rapid late. Our Carpet de partment was a grand success from the start. This is because everything we handle must b' right.
