FATAL GAS EXPLOSION.
Three Persons Were Killed and Four
Were Badly Injured.

BY an explosion of gas at Pittsburg, Penn,
the house 1910 Sarah street, South Side,
was wrecked. three persons killed and sew
eral injured. The list of killed is as follows:
Thomas Dewey, aged thirty-fivs, ironworker:
Sophia Dovey. aged thirty three; Mary
Dovey, aged two years. The injured were:
William Dewey. aged seven, burned and
hurt BY bricks; taken to South Side Hos
pltal; William Harris, iron worker, severely
burned; Mrs. Harris hurt by falling wall:
child OF Mrs. Harris, burned and severely
bruised
The house was jointly occupied by the
families of Thomas Dewey and William Har-
ris. The latter family occupied three rooms
on the third floor. Harris goes to work at
7oclock. He arose shortly after 6. leaving
his wife and child in bed, and taking the
scuttie in one hand and a lighted lamp in the
other, started down stairs to the cellar for
coal. Harris reached the bottom steps. when
suddenly the very air seemed turned to fire.
which, for moment, blinded him and
caused intense pain. At the same time he
felt himself caught up and hurled half way
up the steps, while his lighted lamp was
shattered against a post
The neighborhood was shaken by the
terrific explosion, and the few persons on
the street saw the house totter for moment,
then the roof fell in, followed by the right
wall. The upper floor was crushed in and
fell, carrying it to the first, which held. and
this alone saved Harris's life. Meanwhile
the harvest Of death had been awful, for
the Dewey family was wiped out OF ex-
lstence, save the young son.
The second floor, the brick wall, and the
roof simply crushed the csiIing as though it
was paper, and sleeping calmly in their
beds, Thomas Dovey, his wife and the child
in the cradle by their side, We're Weakened

A policeman passing sent in an alarm at
once, and sooa a large force OF men was
placed at work to rescue the imprisoned in
mates. Mrs. Harris AMI her child were
found easily and taken out. They were cut
and badly frightened. Then Harris was
taken out cas- Iy, but it took twenty-five
minutes to dig Co wnere the Doveys were

quickly drawn to the surface. Others
at a distance were overtaken by
the water and their cries could be heard re-
sounding through the galleries The mum.
Der of men drowned has been ascertained to
be thirty.
The water which flooded the mine came
from an adjacent one which had been closed
for many years. Water had accumulated
in a vast quantity in the abandoned mine,
and suddenly burst its way through. Hun
dreds of thousands Of tons of water poured

General Benjamin F. Butler, o: Massa-
chusetts died at his Washington residence,

ways to more or less extent made his resi-
dence in Washing ton, althou Oh many of the
scenes of his successful ventures have been
located elsewhere. During the present win
ter a case which had been decided
against him in the highest courts
of the State of Massachusetts,, and in
which he took an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, has demanded his al
most constant residence in Washington. His
age as well as his general impairment Of
health, while listening to the oral decisions,
looking for his own, was matter of re-
mark time and time again. General But
ler's death created surprise, as it was not
even known that he was ailing.
Ben jamin Franklin Butler was born at
Deerfeld, n h., November 5, 1918, the son
of Captain John Butler, a soldier of the
War of 1912. He was graduated at Water
vile College, and was admitted to the bar
in 1910, in Lowell, Mass, where he soon &C
qulred good practice. In April, 1851,
OH the first call for troops, General
Butler, at that time Brigader- General in
the Massachusetts militia, issued the requi-
site orders for mastering the regiments of
his brigade. At the head OF the Eighth Mas
sachusetts he went to Washington. He was
soon made a Major-General In the United
States service. He took possession of New
Orleans May |, 1862; in November, 1864. he
was sent to New YORK City during the
Presidential election to keep the peace.
in December, 1864, an expedition which
failed. General butler was a. member
of Congress from Massachusetts, from
1866 to 1875, and again from 1873 to 1879: he
was Governor OF Massachusetts in 1893, and
candidate of the Greenback Party for Presi-
dent of the United States in 1884 General
Butler was married in Lowell, Nav H. 1914

A t.... That yyns uonorcd.

Senator Stanford once had In his employ
an old servant named jams Wallace, After
being with his family u number Of years
she had saved some money and went back
to her old home In New York. But tho
climate did not agree with her. Tho doctors
told her that II aho came back to California
she would got well. So she wrote to her old
employer and asked him to furnish her
with transportation. Without thinking
much about IL. but ready to oblige his old
servant, he wrote on n sheet Of not1 paper:
"Please pass Jane from New York to San
francisco" signed 1t and sent II to her.
Jane never stopped to think OF the pecu-
liar form OF the pass or that 1t might not
be recognized by some Of the railways over
which she was to travel. She knew that
her old master owned two or three rail
ronds, and she had mn idea that he owned
one all the way to New York. So she got
on the train, and when the conductor came
round handed out the slip Of paper. He
looked at it, then ut her, and didn't know
what to do. There wa Leland Stanford
signature, and he didn't like to dishonor
that. So he telegraphed for instructions.
and his superiors told him to send the
woman right through, and she came.-San

An Excursion to the Island
of st. John
(7ramtlotod fl ON the Dsgblad)

We were about ten ladies and gentlemen,
who on 2 sunry day went on board the
schooner, which was to take Us to st. John.
Wind we'had not gotmuch Of, an unfortunate
thing, when, as in our case, you have to sub
NIT yourself completely to its whims, being
without steam and having to leave it to the
sails of the schooner alone to do all the work.
If there is a breeze distending the sails like the
wings of a bird, the vessel is brought quickly
and comfortably across the waves, but as soon
as it abates, and you hear the unpleasant
sound Of the sails Tapping backwards and
forwards, forcing the vessel to move up and
down in one place you wish yourself on board
a steamer, better able to master circumstances.
Of we got anyhow but the little breeze, that
there was brought the schooner through the
rather difficult passage in Christiansted's har-
bour ,andthen we went slowly out upon the blue
Caribbean sea. Sun to keep up our spirits
there was plenty of; the sun seldom forsakes
US if it happens for a single day, we miss
him like a good old friend. It is not exactly
a glowing friendship, he bestows On us; for
t~unately we are several miles north of the line.
We had not been sailing very long, when
we found out, that the sea gives an appatite,
ano our black footman was ordered to bring
our we~ll-supplied food baskets on deck. More
over we had carried a good store OF ice, as

Saturday, 10th June 1898.
The weather during the past fortnight has
been showery, yet not so wet as to keep
back the reapi1g Of the crop, which has yet
four weeks or more to RIM in most places. The
rainfall measured at the Fort III Chrisliansted
has been on the Goth May 81 lines, 28th, 1
End June, l line; 3rd, II; 9Th, 1; 7th Q;

BY the courtesy of the brokers we are able
to-day to give the following particulars about
the exports during last yeal
From Christiansted
Sugar: Muscovado 873, 1853 lbs.
Crystals (38, 296 bags) 8,O6O,448 "
Total 1894, 2O6 lbs.
equal to 1856 hhds. of 1900 Danish pounds
each.
Molasses S 1853 gals.
Rum 1884 /"
From Frederiksted
Sugar: Muscovado 1904, 942 lbs.
Crystals III, 191 bags) 4.308.473 ="
Total l3,213,4l6 lbs.
equal to nearly $500 hhds. of 800 lbs. zach.
MOlasseS; 2O3, 26O gals.
Rum 1897 ="
Totals for The island
Sugar, a. 65 hhds,
Molasses, 26O,0l8 gals.
Rum, 0 1851 "
One Of the most satisfa Glory points TO note
in the above statement is the large proper
ton Of crystals. 1t will be found that
the total weight Of crystals exported stands
to the total muScovado exported in the rela-
ton nf abo ut "a 10 10, or the crystals are
nearly SO per cent of the total sugar exported,
the musoovado being about Al per cent.
As to the crop now being Teaped we are of
opinion that it will turn out very much better
than the earlier stimates. So far as we can
learn, many Of the estates are likely to make
about two-thirds of last years crop, some will
be over this and some below. If the average
be assumed to b. two-thirds of last years
crop, which is probably near the truth, we
should get nearly O,0OO hhds, q good result
when we remember the small rainfall of last
YEAR and the backward state of the canes
towards It's close, Prices are cheering, the
last Factory price" being 1881, with a pros
peGt Of q rise next week on account of the
rise cabled from Europe three days ago.
Improved prices will go a long way to make
up for shol tness IF quantity and II begins to
seem likely that 1898 will, after all, be no
disastrous year for us, while the prospects
for 1894 are vi to the present time about az
good as they could be.
