BOILER BURST.
One Man Killed and Several
Severely Injured.
The Explosion Had Fearful Effect.
Fire Followed the Wreck.
Salt Encrustation Supposed to BE the
Cause Of the Trouble.

ST. JOHN. N. B., March 20.-One Of
the boilers in King Brothers steam saw
mill at Kingsville, about four miles from
this city, blew up about 10:15 o'clock
this morning with fearful effect. One
man, Wellington Smith of South
Bay, aged 20 years, was killed.
Four others were injured. Fireman Nc
Grath was struck in the back with brick
and Henry Connell, ten year old lad,
who was playing near the mill, had a
leg broken. Two others whose names
are not known were severely bruised.
There are six boilers in the mill, and the
cause OF the explosion is supposed to
have been salt encrustation in the
boilers. A man named Leblanc,a fireman,
was badly cut about the head. The mill
took fire, but the flames were soon extin-
quished. The boiler house was COM
pIetely demolished and the boiler split in
two pieces ,one part going through the side
of the house into the mill, damaging the
machinery very badly. The other half
shot out through the boiler house, and
was deposited on lumber pile, about 30
feet away.

Democratic Nomination Papers Not

At12 O'Clock last night the time expired
in which nominations for the coming
State election could be filed with the Sec
retary OF State. All OF the Republican
papers were in on time, but the Demo-
Gratis OF 10 towns failed to appear, and the
names OF their candidates cannot be
placed upon th6 ballots.
The towns in which Democratic dis
coursgement has gone so far that even
the preliminary details are neglected are
East Greenwich, Jamestown, Johnston,
Little Compton, Middletown, West
Greenwich, Exeter and Foster.
The "third party" and the "fourth
party" people and tho believers in politi-
cal creeds not yet classified have been as
foverish as usual before an election
and the result is that in many oil
the towns and districts throughout the
State there will be the customary n1m-
ber OF stray ballots in all the boxes to
mske counting more tedious, and to
delay the returns.

QUEER DOINGS.
A Domestic in a Chicago Household
Causes Trouble.

CHICAGO, March 20.-The family of
Patrick Noonan, packer, has been
greatly troubled OF late by an unknown
person, who has written Noonan letters
demanding the discharge of his domestic.
Annie Murray. The first letters received
attacked the girls character and those
received subsequently threatened him
with the destruction Of his barn by fire
unless the girl was discharged. The
girl was retained and the barn was burned
as indicated. The following day letter
declared that Noonan's house would be
burned and himself murdered unless the
girl was sent away. Noonan placed the
matter in the hands of the police and
although officers have watched the house
night and day, and have guarded Mr..
Noonan personally, no trace of the sender
OF the letters has been found. A few days
after the destruction OF the barn, Mr..
Noonan allowed the girl to return and
the letters promptly began to come again.
Noonan's house Is being constantly
watched and the girl has been sent away
for good.
