A NEGLECTED. BOILER
Blows Up a SawmiIl and HurIs Seven
Men Into Eternity.

WEST BINGHAM, Pa, May 1h-The
bodies of eight men, horribly mangled,
scalded and disfgured, were picked out
from among tho ruins of Peck, Haskell
G. Cobbs sawmill here yesterday after
noon, the victims f the explosion OF q
boiler in the mill. Five were dead, and
Of the other three two have since died.
Those killed outright were Claude Eng
hsh, James Mowers, Eugene Merrick,
Lyman Perry, Charles RoVsg.
Those fatally injured were Caleb Con-
verse, who was badly soalded about the
head and chest; Albert Degroat, fcarfully
mangled by boiler iron. Dell Gridley was
injured internally and sustained broken
leg, but he will recover.
Six of these men were employees Of the
sawmill. Two of them, English and Con-
verse, were young men who happened to
be in the mill at the time as spectators.
The mill was run by steam, generated
In an old So-horse power boiler, which had
been condemned by an inspector few
days before, because the steam failed to
record accurately tho amount of steam
pressure. Manager Mat Haskell is said to
have declared the inspector an impostor
and refused to shut down.
The men employed In the mill were busy
at work yesterday when a belt broke,
necessitating shutting down operations
while IL was being repaired. Nobody paid
any attention to the boiler, which was
Making Steam at Prodigious Rate,
for a hot fire had been kindled under 10.
1t was nobody's business in particular to
attend to the boiler, for, as In most saw
mills, everybody took a hand occasionally
in firing, and except to stop or start the
engine nobody paid much attention to the
steam.
Suddenly there came boom rs OF a
monstrous cannon, followed by a cloud of
steam, dust and smoke, which rose high In
the air. Everyone in the mill was blown
into pieces or into outer air. Four of the
victims were torn limb from limb and
their remains scattered about the mill and
the immediate vicinity.
The mill was almost entirely demolished.
Parts of the boiler were blown hundreds of
feet Tho victims were horribly mangled,
having their heads crushed to Jelly and
being recognizable only by their clothing.
Z. The dead workmen were all married
and with families. 1t Is likely that suits
for damages will be brought against the
owners of the mill and boiler by the
widows Of some of the victims.

America Embarrassed by the
Attitude of Britain
Concerning the Seal Fisheries-All
Measures of Protection NulIified.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-An ugly crisis
has been reached in the negotiations be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain looking TO the adoption of the uni
form regulations for the government OF
the seal fisheries this season.
The British government positively re-
fuses to re-enact the regulations Of last
year, which prohibits the carrying Of fire
arms by sealing vessels through the zone
north of the 55th parallel during the
closed season.
The United States officials look upon
this as disastrous to the seal fisheries,
holding that the result will be TO relieve
the polagic sealers OF the only restriction
which has operated 10 prevent an un'
limited slaughter of the herds. While kill
ing by firearms remains Illegal, IL is real
tied that il will be impossible to enforce
this prohibition IL arms can be freely
carried, for the sealers would kill freely
unless they should happen 10 be under the

Meanwhile, the United States cutters
have gone out under the old instructions
TO seize all vessels carrying arms not under
seal. These must be modified speedily by

The attitude OF the latter is viewed with

the effect of the British action is to prac,
