BOILER BURSTED.
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT AT
LAING'S SAW MILL.

One Man Was Killed and Several injured
by Deb and Steam--H. E. Ward
vcll Among the Injured.
About night last Tuesday news reached
the city of a terrible accident at Tax Col
lector ]. d. Laing's saw mill, located
about eight miles south of Dawson near
the village of Chickasawhatchee
The accident occurred at noon while
some of the workmen were eating dinner.
The large boiler used at the mill ex-
ploded with terrible force, instantly kill
inc one negro, Tom Porter, and seriously
hurting his wife, who was sitting near
him as he ate his dinner, which she had
Just brought him.
Mr.. Jim Clark, the sawyer, was knock
ed some distance by one of the gov
ernor'' balls striking him in the breast,
and he was badly scalded by escaping
steam.
Mr.. Fl. E. Wardwell, maehinist of
Dawson, had just been making some re-
pairs to the boiler and was standing near
it when the explosion occurred, and was
injured by falling timberS and severely
scalded on the face and right side. He
was brought to his home in Dawson and
for a time it was thought that his inju-
ries would prove fatal, but now he is do
ing we'll and it is thought that he will be
out in few days.
Another of the employees of the mill, a
negro. was most terribly Scalded, and his
sufferings so intense that he ran to a
pond a short distance away and jumped
into it to alleviate his agonies. 1t is said
that when his clothes were taken OFT of
him the skin of his entire body peeled
off. Notwithstanding, he is alive and is
said to have fair prospects of getting
well.
The main portion of the boiler was
lifted up IN the air and fell more than a
hundred yards from where it started, and
tons of pine trees were cut off in its aerial
journey. piece of the shattered boiler
was found more than a mile from where
the explosion occurred.
Tom Porter was killed by log weigh
ing 3,O00 pounds being hurled upon him
by the forse of the explosion. His wife,
Who was sitting near him, had her collar
bone broken in two places and was 9TH
erwise injured. She is holding up re-
markably we'll under her injuries, but it
is thought that her death is only ques-
ton of time.
Mr.. Clark, the sawyer, is fast recover
ing, and is now able to be out again.
The accident was not the result of
carelessness, as has been reported, as the
usual quantity of water was in the boiler
when the explosion occurred.
Mr.. Wardwell thinks it was due to the
escape valve being too small. The day
previous water got very lowin the boiler
and it may be that j. was injured tLen
and caused the explosion next day.
Mr.. Iaing tells The News that his
damages are not less than $500.

carry on the business for twenty-five
years and ngree to pay the government
$4,000 of which 100000 yearly Is to be
given to the first company that shall
lay a cablo to the United States, The
balance is to be used in internal m
provements. The company is to have
the use Of the Hawaiian mails, and be
exempt from I'LL taxes. The Honolulu
correspondent Of the San Francisco
Chronicle says that n syndicate will take
up the franchise and at once put on a
line OF steamers FOR the purpose OF car
rying tickets, etc, and that the express
companies in the United States will be
used in distributing the tickets. and
thus be- independent OF the postal
union. The result shows that the mis-
sionary-reform-planter element has lost
it's influence in Hawaiian politics. As a
result, a state of affairs may be looked
for such as was seen under the Gibson
regime. This will certainly preeipitate
some kind of a crisis, rs the foreigners
have about SSo,OOO,0oo invested in
business in this kingdom and they will
not submit to Kanaka rule.
The scheme is in great favor with the
native population and has the approval
of the queen, but the white people OF
the island and the members OF the cab
met strongly oppose it. 1t will be un-
, fortunate indeed if the lottery is estab-
lished. The experience OF his and
other countries has demonstrated thai
there is no more sure way to a
morals, to encourage thriftlessnees and
extrayagance, and destroy the lines be-
tween right and wrong, than through
the agency of q lottery. They are pub
lie calamities in whatever country they
find lodging.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Portland OIegonlan lamente that
Mr.. Cleveland is likely to make up his
cabinet of men in moderate circum-
stances like Carlisle and Morrison. 1t
would like to have more social glitter
and display than such men can afford
on the meagr salary OF 5000 a year.
1t is undoubtedly true that the salaries
Maid to members of the cabinet are too
small. Men component to be advisers
to the president and heads Of great de-
partments, requiring executive ability
of a high order, should be better paid.
Twenty thousand a year would not be
too high q salary for a cabinet officer to
enable him to live properly, meet the
social requirements Of his station and
COMPENSATE him for the time devoted tc
the public service. But so long rs bet
ter salaries are not paid, the best mer
should not be kept out of the public
service because OF their poverty. The
country needs men like Carlisle ant
Morrison and il does not choose to pa,
them adequately, they should be allow
ed to live within their incomes withou
being criticized for declining to live ant
entertain like the rich. We do no
take much stock in Jetfersonian sim
plicity, as that phrase is usually inter
preted, but it is a safe rule anywher
for a man not to spend more thar h
earns and everybody will respect tn

the senate have taken the right position
on this question. The act should oo'
be repealed until the old Bland law OF
similar measure, is substituted for 1t.
The best suggestion for a compromise
measure is that Of Senator Wolcott, OF
Colorado. that all of the silver purchased
from time to time shall be coined INTO
standard silver dollars and that the bull
liam now on hand also be coined. Ihls

The Denver News should hire an ed
itor who can write intelllgently about
Montana affairs, or quit discussing
them. When it says that "the national
democracy will hold the gold-bug lead
ers of Montana strictly responsible for
the result Of the senatorial election"
and advises the populists to "insist on
voting for a free coinage candidate it
shows that it is utterly ignorant OF the
situation. There are no goldbug demo-
Gratis or republicans either who are mon.
toned for the office. Every man who
has been voted for during the present
contest has a clear record in that re-
spect. So far as that is concerned, there
is no choice between them. Before the
News makes any further comment, ii
should consult Senators Teller and VOL
colt, or other friends of silver in Colo
RADIO, who know the men of Montana
and where they stand.

THE Butte Miner puts the whole sit
nation in a nutshell when it says: 1.-The
republic Of the United States was
founded on majority rule. Discard the
the principle and you discard the gov
eminent of the people and return to the
rule of monarchs, kings and %tyrants."
If eight or nine men have the right to
dictate to twenty-five, n man has the
same right. Is there a democrat In
Montana who would hold, it his vote
was needed to give the party a majority
on Joint ballot, that he would be justi-
fed in demanding his own election to
the United States senate as the price OF
his support to the party? Yet that is
precisely the attitude of half a dozen
men in the present contest.
