OBITUARY..

In the death of DR.. Willard Wright we
lose from our midst one OF the most rev.
cred and honored citizens. Though able
to resume his extensive practice OF medi-
cine, he never fully recovered the severe
attack of apOplexy from which he SUI
fered some weeks ago. He leaves wife
and many to mourn his loss and among
the poorer classes they lose faithful
friend.
DR.. Wright served five terms as Mayor
OF Atlantic City and was the first Demo-
cratic Mayor to be elected, and has occu-
pied other offices, being postmaster un-
der Cleveland's first administration, and
in these Offices OF tr1st and honor, dis
charged the duties attending with un-
swervering faithfulness.
DR.. Wright made his home for time
in Absecon, then Pleasantville at the
house of John Frambes, who afterwards
became his father-in-law.
He moved to Atlantic City where he
resided until his death, which occurr-
ed on Sunday, the 8th inst.
The body OF Ex-Mayor Wright will lie
in state on Thursday morning at his
late residence, from to IL o'clock, and
services will be conducted by the Rev.
F. J. Mundy, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church, from IL to II O'Clock.
A special train will convey the funeral
party to the cemetery at Pleasantville,
leaving the residence Immediately after
the services.
Mr.. John S. Connolly has silently pass
ed away, aged 40 years. In the death of
Mr.. Connolly Pleasantville loses one of
it's most upright and esteemed citizens.
Having been born and reared in the
Borough limits he has endeared himself
to all who had the pleasure OF his ac-
quaintance. In every position in which
he has been placed he always comman-
ded the greatest respect both from his
employer and those who were placed
under his charge. He was section boss
for many years for the Camden and At
lantic Railroad Company, and in their
annual inspections of the company's
tracks and road beds under his charge,
MIR. Uonnelly invariably received the
highest award for work well performed.
In 1881 when the West Jersey Railroad
was built Mr.. Connolly accepted the pos
ition OF section boss of that Company,
fulfilling his obligations with the same
fidelity as with his similar position on
the Camden and Atlantic. He was q
member of the Railroad Relief Associa-
ton and was also member of the
Royal Arcanum. A wife and four chill
dren mourn his loss, three sons and one
daughter.

killed and injured were Hungarians
except James Harrison. the fore

a barrow Of material into the bell

gotten to raise. This cIogged the
top Of the furnace and prevented

men, in charge of James Harrison,
were sent at once to the top of the
furnace to remove the obstruction.
All were closely crowded around the
furnace removing the material which
had been dumped on it, when there
was a terrific explosion, and men.
barrows, tools and material were
hurled in all directions. Flames.
deadly gases and smoke beIched
from the furnace top, and the gang
of men fell as if shot. Only one
man was killed instantly. He was
blown from the furnace top along
the metal railroad to the elevator
shaft. Down he fell, and striking
on a car was cut in two, one half of
his body falling on one half of the
car and the other half on the other
side. The explosion was heard all
over Braddock, and crowds at once
rushed to the scene, but none ex-

relief crew was quickly organized
and went to the top of the furnace.

MONSTER TURTLE.

mat rare and valuable marine mon
ster, popularity known as the "Asburv
Park turtle, which furnished three
days wonder for the crowds at that
resort until it gave a final Gip-fon
and died, arrived in sections at the
Academy of Natural Sciences vester-
day. the animal is known among
seamen as leatherback turtle, but. it
boasts the scientific name of Der
mochely COriacea From the head to
tail it measures II feet , inches: if
stands a full 3 feet high, and from
ripper to fiipper across the back the
measurement is feet 1 inch.
Ihe weight of this wonder VIII never
be accurately known. but it is esti-
mated as nearly 1000 pounds. The
taxidernists who went to Asbury
Park from the academy to prepare the
carcass for shipment declare that six
ahle-bodied negroes could scarcely turn
the monster over on his back. The
shell Of the marine turtle is not like
the bony substance which distin-
guishes ordinary turtles, but is of a
tough, cartiiaginous substance closely
resembling black leather. Seven rows
of little black studs ornament the
shirt Of this aquatic dude.
The head is composed of almost
solid bone, with crevices for two large
eyes. There are no teeth in it's mouth.
but its gullet is armed with a quantity
OF spipes pointing downward, so that
any luckless fish in attempting to re-
treat after being swallowed must sure
~ impale himself on these sharp
points. The under side of the turtle is
curiously notified with white spots.
This leatherback turtle is a most
snowy and valuable specimen. and is
perhaps the largest Of It's kind on ex-
hibition anywhere. It is certainly
larger than any of the three possessed
by the British Museum. Leatherbacks
are rarely seen in these days. but they
formerly inhabited the Atlantic ocean
in large numbers. This one now pos

The Brewers took a turn AT making
finishes today and won as pretty a
ten-inning game from the Apostles
as any. one could ask to look at. They
had the narrowest kind of an escape
from defeat in the ninth, for St. Paul
had 4 man on third and another on
second. with no one out. So GER
tain did il look that ST Paul would
win the game then and there that
half OF the spectators got up and
prepared 70 go home with long faces
and a still poorer opinion of the
Brewers. but fortune looked down and
laughed. It must have laughed. for
a smile would never have pulled the
Brewers out. Pickett popped up
fly 10 Taylor and Boyle drove a line
hit at Taylor, which got Burns
doubled at third. Then the specta-
tors got excited and sat down. Stat
ford was the first man at bat IN the
tenth, and he drove the ball to deep
left field for Two bases If there had
been no wind blowing the ball would
have surely gone ever the fence. g
Taylor hit a grounder to O'Rourke,
and the latter threw to second to
catch Stafford. who had a big lead.
but Stafford got back before he was
touched. The fact that Cushman
didn't call Stafford out so enraged
Pickett that he pushed Cushman all
over the infeld and heaped all sorts
Of abuse on him. Johnston also
callsd Cushman everything that he
could lay his tongue to. Both were
put out Of the game. MuIlane went
in to pitch, and the second ball ne
threw ne made a wild pitch. and
Stafford Went to third and Taylor TO
second. Stephens hit TO right field

SIX DIED QUICKLY.

The injured men were all leaning
over the mouth of the furnace when
the explosion occurred. Three men
died before they reached the bottom OF
the elevator shaft and the other three
died between and o'clock this morn
ing. As fast as the injured men were

burg summoned. Nine of the men who
were on top Of the furnace when they
reached the ground were revived. and
there being strong hopes for their re-
covery they were taken TO their homes.
The contents of the furnace were
blown out and scattered for hundreds
of yards around, falling in all parts
Of the yard. cutting and burning about
ten men who were below, but none
were seriously injured. The fiery
shower fell on the carpenter shop Of
the company, about 100 yards from
the furnace, and it was soon in flames
and was destroyed, with its contents
The bell Of the furnace was shattered
and scattered; the roof of the cast
house was crushed in and ruined; the
contents Of the furnace were scattered
abroad, and the belief is that the fur
mace was badly damaged and may have
to be rebuilt. II this should be the
case the total damage would be $780,
600. The Braddock fire department. was
called out and prevented the spread
OF the flames, and the members also
aided in the work of rescue and did
police duty. The scenes as the men
were carried to the Office was intense

TWO RIDERS FELL.
Miss Allen Forced to Discontinue
Racing.

The second day of the great ladies'
bicycle race at Athletic park, Min
neapolis, was uneventful except for
an accident which knocked one of the
riders completely out. Helen Baldwin
and May Allen tumbled together early
in the evening and were both severely
injured. Miss Baldwin pluckily went
on again at once, but Miss Allen was
badly cut about the face and could
not proceed for twenty minutes. She
attempted to go on again, but fell a
second time and was placed in a
physicians care. The race was not
as exciting as on Monday night The
positions of the leaders remain the
same. Miss Christopher could not
make up the lap that separates her
and Miss Nelson. Baldwin made a
great squirt and gained three laps after
her fall. The record for the first hour
was 81 miles and laps, and for the
second hour so miles and ? laps, both
worlds records. The total score now
is:
