Seven Lives Lost by the Bursting of
Boiler.

A terrible boiler explosion occurred in
Force & Dickinson's stave mill at Staples a
small village on the bennington and st.
Clair Railway, four miles from Conber,
Canada. Seven men were instantly kille ],
one was fatally injured and about twenty
others more or less severely hurt.
The cause Of the explosion is not definitely
known. Some contend that toe exploded
boiler was old and not fit for USE while one
OF the employees OF the mill says that it was
In good running condition, but that he be-
heves that scales had formed on the plate
and lnterfered with the working of someoe
the valves.
The boiler was carried fully two hundred
feet, passing IN its flight between two
residences. Bricks and other debris were
scattered in all directions but the houses in
the neighborhood escaped with few broken
windows.

alarms OF the Senate.
W. P. Canady, ex-Sergeant-at-Arms of
the United States Senate, committed suicide
at his home in Washington few days since,
In most sensational manner.
Canady, since his retirement from public
office, has been conductinga general broker
age business. About a year ago he took J.
=. A. Houghton in partnership. Houghton
was the mOnled man of the concern aud at
various times advanced some SIS, 900 for the
wildcat schemes of his partner.
For some time there has been trouble
brewing. Houghton was dissatisfied with
the management of Canady, and on several
occasions the two have been heard quarrell-
ing.
About o'clock in the evening Houghton
came into the office and put $1,000 in cash in
the safe and left for the night. Canady slept
in the adjoining room.
About six o'clock next morning Charles
Nj. Stevenson, who rooms in the house
heard some one calling for help. He ran
down stairs and located the cries in Haugh-
toms private office. On his opening the door
q strange sight met his eyes,
At the dumb waiter door stood Canady.
tied and gagged with a piece of his night
shirt drawn across his mouth Stevenson
quickly cut the prisoner loose and Canady
said that between 3 and O'CLOCK tn at morn
ing he was awakened from sleep bv threo
burglars, who took him into the other room
and at the point of the pistol made him open
the safe. They then ransacked his partners
papers and tied him there to the DOOR
A messenger was Sent at once for Mr.
Houghton. and when the latter arrived
Canady told him his story and pointed to
the empty safe. Houghton fouted the story,
accused Canady of robbing the safe and left
the house saying that he would at once put
the matter into the hands of the police.
CanadY then locked himself in, and going
to his cot threw himself down and put a
bullet through his brain. When the police
arrived they;had to force an entrance and the
Nfeless body Of Canady was found on the
9oor in pool of blood.
Canady was about fifty years of age,
aative of North Carolina, and was Colonel

Burned in the Wreck

Alleged neglect of orders by the crew OF
freight train, which pulled onto the main
track of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railroad, near Shreve, Ohio, in
front of the eastbound express from Chicago
at about o'clock few mornings ago caused
terrible wreck, in which eleven persons
were killed. Nine were injured.
Both locomotives were ditched and CON-
pletely smashed. Six cars of the express,
including the posta! car, two express cars,
the baggage car, smoking car and one
coach, together with five of the freight cars,
were also wrecked.
The wrecked cars were totally destroyed
by fire. One coach and two sleeping cars on
the express train were not wrecked, and
escaped the flames.
! There were five clerks at work in the postal
car. Four were instantly killed, and the
fifth one was mortally injured.
The passengers imprisoned in the burning
smoker and day coach made desperate efforts
to free themselves as the flames swept toward
them and their cries for help were heart
rending. The fire crept upon them so quickly
that their rescuers had to stan1 back while
the victims persisted.

Engineer Edward Hayer stated before he
died that he had seen that the rails had been
loosened and turned 50 as to derail the train,
and. being unable to stop in time had tried
TO lump the obstruction.
There were 81. 900, 900 in Mexican subsidi-
arv bonds, consigned to the Mexican Central
offices In Boston, in the safe in the express
car, and it was probably the mistaken i'm
preston of the wreckers that the amount
was in currency that caused them to wreck
the train.
! The three Pullman sleepers remained on
the track. The passengers were extrcated
from the telescopad cars and a relief train
summoned from Topeka, thirty miles to the
northeast.
The relief train returned to that city at
1920 o'clock in the forenoon. Several pas
sengers say that they saw a number Of men
run for the brush near by Immediately after
the disaster. The Toulouse at Barclay

was broken open the night before and a
number of tools removed. Several empty
whisky bottles were found in pool OF
water near the scene of the wreck A spot
was found where three men had lain in the
grass, and tracks we're found leading from
this SPOT to the railway track

poria. An examination of the track was
made. and it was found that the fish plates
had been carefully removed and the bolts
taken out and spikes drawn from ten ties,
and the rails bent over to the inside.

CLEVELAND AND STEVENSON.
THEIR INTERESTING BIOGRAPHIES.
The Men Selected to Lead the Democracy
to Victory in November.

There is yet standing in the little
town Of Caldwell, in Essex County,
n. D., a small two-and-a-half-story
frame dwelling, in which Grover
Cleveland was born on March Is,
1887 His father was a Presbyte-
rian clergyman with large family
and a small income, Grover was
the fifth of nine brothers and sis
ters. The Clevelands have, in their
various branches, been more or less
distinguished. A cousin Of the ex-
President is the celebrated Arthur
Cleveland Coke, the Episcopalian
Bishop of Western New York. A
grand uncle, Charles, was a we'll
known minister in Boston, while
his sister, Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land, has been a leading educator
and contributor to periodical liter
allure for many years. Still anoth-
er sister, Mrs. Hastings, was mis-
sionary to Ceylon, while q brother,
William, is a Presbyterian minister
in New York.
When Grover was 3 years old,
his father with his lares and pena-
ties and his train Of children moved
by way of the river and canal to
Fayetteville, n. Y, and here the
boy was sent to the district school
till he was IA years Of age. Then
the family moved again to Holland
Patent, near Utica, where after he
had preached three sermons the
father sickened and died, and the
children were scattered. Grover,
Is years Of age, went to New York
to assist his brother, William, who
was teaching III a blind asylum.
After two years he tired of this, and
with a romantic notion that fame
and fortune awaited him by virtue
of the similarity Of names in the
city of Cleveland, he started with a
few dollars in his pocket for the
Northwest.
On his way he stopped to see an
uncle, who was q stock-breeder, re.
siding near Buffalo. That was the
turning point in the youths career
His uncle asked him what he pro
posed to do.
81 want to study law" was the
reply.
"How much money have you?'
"None."
"Well, I'll give you $50 for
years work in getting up my hero
book, and in the meantime you cal
look around"

The offer was accepted, and in
little while Grover began work il
