saw mill was wrecked this morn
ing at 7:30 o'cluck by the explo-
sion Of one Of the four big boilers
that furnished steam to the big
mill and its six big dry-kilns.
The shock shattered windows
and plastering all over town and
was heard five miles in the coun-
try. The busted boiler was blown
into a thousand pieces. The
others displaced being thrown
fifty feet. Pieces of iron were
thrown blocks away, demolish-
ing everything in the path. Mr..
Short. the owner, had just gone
into the boiler room to find the
reason for the lack of steam.
The water was low and the en-
gineer turned on cold water. Mr..
Short the engineer, two fremen
and drayman were killed and
two other operators were in
jured. The bodies of two of the
dead were terribly broken and
mutilated.
There was no boiler insurance.
MI. Short had his life insured fol

ance for So, 500. About two hun
dred and fifty men are thrown

he built a better mill and pros
pered. He was worth probably
hundred thousand dollars. HI

BAPTIST

CHARLOTTE, n. c., December
10.-This was the last day of the
Baptist Convention. A warm
debate was precipitated in the
morning by the failure of the
Committee on Periodicals to rec
ommend the North Carolina Bap-
tist, a new paper, as we'll as the
Biblical Recorder, for sixty years
the organ of the Convention. An
amendment recommending the
Baptist was adopted, and a com
mittee afterward appointed look
ing to q unification of Baptist
journalistic interests. Green's
boro was chosen as the place of
the next meeting.
The report of the Committee
on Young Peoples Work was
adopted. It recommended that
definite organization be deferred
until the meeting OF the present
Provisional Baptist Young PEG
pies Convention at Greensboro
next year along with the State
Convention.
The congregation has contri-
buted S14, 500 collectively and
through individual members to
special causes, outside of its re-
gular channels Of giving. It has
been marked all along by a spirit
of l~iberality and a spirit Of mis-
sions. Over 81, 600 If the above

simply because by a clerical err

The Pops who were behind the

they simply want to make a show
in order to keep up public inter

and should be at once remedied.
It IS an imposition and should

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
KINGWOOD, w. Va, Sept L. 1874.
The recent opening of the new branch
railway to Fairmont has led to plans for
penetrating into the interior. Two add
tional lines are now projected. Among
those interested are a prominent ex-olhcer
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and several West Virginia and Pittsburg
capitalists.
One line will connect with the Baltimore
and Ohio at or near Point Marion, running
up the valley Of Cheat river twenty-five
miles to Kingwood, where II will meet the
Tunnelton, Kingwood and Fairchance
Narrow Gauge railroad, which runs south
to the main lire of the Baltimore and Ohio
The other line will tap the Baltimore and
Ohio somewhere between Point Marion and
Fairmont, probably at Morgantown. 1t will
be over forty miles long, probably ter
nlinating al Philippi or Grafton.
The country. to be opened by these lines
IL rich in iron ore, timber, limestone,
glass, house sand, and the best Of coal and
fire clay.
The FIRST named viii give to Kingwood
railroad connections to the north. and give
main line Of the Baltimore and Ohio.
A corps Of engineers has been engaged
for the past two weeks in making a sur
vey through Conemaugh township, in West
moreland county, Pa. They are very Sc
cretive and will not disclose the object of
the survey. but II Is the general opinion
that they are engaged by one OF the rail-
road companies that have an eye on the
Somerset coal fields.

LondOncrs Have Become Very Fond
OF IL.
There was great annoyance felt by the
fruit dealers in Covent Garden. London,
yesterday because OF the fact that no Cal
ifornia fruit Is arriving. The first ship
ments received there made the reputation
Of California fruits. and hundreds Of small
dealers. finding that the public cordially
welcomed the fruit. began arranging for
a regular supply. Suddenly the shipments
stopped, and now no fruit from California
is expected to arrive before September &c
There are no pears or plGms in the market
and, II q supply of the California-grown
product was now in the market. II would
command high prices. The taste, color and
quality of the previous shipments were
highly approved. Much OF the fruit was re-
packed in small baskets and sold as Eng
lish- grown, a trick that will always be
possible unless quantity of the California
product is regularly sent. That there would
be some loss at the outset OF such an I'M
portant fruit movement should have been
expected. The early shipments were only
advertisements. II tile shippers fail now
to forward fruit regularly they will undo
all that has been done.
