Stunning bodies was terrible. Forty-four
bodies have been recovered, and as many
more, 1t is feared by some, are still In the
ruins. Never before have such exciting
scenes been witnessed in Montana. The
people of Butte have not thought of rest.
The explosions occurre before many peg
pie had gone to bed, and when the horror
of the situation fastened itself upon them
they gave their whole strength and the
means about them in aid of the wounded
and In caring for the bodies of the dead.
Over Seventy-Five Dead.
At 9:35 this morning 1t was estimated
that Is to 100 persons were already dead,
but 1t was impossible to get names on ac-
count of the mangled condition of the re-
mains. 1t is likely they will never be iden-
fed.
At $40 the following additional named
persons were found dead: Will Magee,
Johnny Norge n, Alex Caddy, - Foster.
Investigation but adds to the horror Of
last nights terrible accident. The brilliant
glare of the skies from the flames or the
burning buildings has passed away, only
to be succeeded by the leaden gray Of
early morning thus giving to the awful
scene a fitting canopy.
Never did landscape bear more impress
sively the unmistakable record CT the great
destroying force of powder than the gloomy
blood-stained wreck which appeared in the
first faint light Of morning. Nearly all or
the CeaQ DOQleS men nave DeeH TecON-
cred, but the mammoth heaps of debris,
the charred remains of buildings warped
and shattered fire engines and mangled
| bodies Of dead horses are still reminders or
the terrible work of the fateful night.
In addition to the sickeninS slaughter or
human beings, the destruction of property
is great. Where vast sums of money We're
represented in well-filled warehouses moth

| streets of the city sparkle and glisten with

that of a busy center of commerce IN

The hour for practical work has arrived,

under control at o'clock, and several

TWO MEN KILLED.
Fatal Explosion in the Steel Works
at Homestead.


at Homestead.
PITTSBURG, Pa, January 16.-Two men
were killed and two others injured by a
boiler explosion at the 40-inch mill in the
Carnegie steel works at Homestead this
morning. The killed are Harry Breneman
and John Gorecka. The injured, John Der
max, skull crushed and badly scalded, can't
recover; William Banks, seriously, but not
fatally, scalded by steam.
The accident was due to the impure river
water which supplied the boilers. Heavy
incrustations of mud blocked the injector
valve and the water failed to feed into the
boilers. A false report was circulated that
the explosion had been caused by dynamite.
Overcome by Gas.
NEW YORK, January 1G.-Five people
were overcome by gas in a house at 10
Rutgers place this morning. Two Of them,
Samuel Cohen, twenty-five, and Jacob

Victory for Their Party.


PARIS. January 1e, a.m.-The socialist
group in the chamber of deputies have is

lieve that NJ. Casimir- Perier will present
himself for reelection. The manifesto
adds: HE is gone forever. vanquished by

reactionaries, on account of his weakness
of character. 1t is victory for the So

LONDON, January. 16.-The Times this
morning in an editorial on the French sit

The Commissioners have recommended
that the pay of police van, ambulance and

The Commissioners have asked that the

Water Famine Feared.
The Commissioners discussed the situa-
ton regarding the supply of water, and
later went to the Capitol to urge the pas
sage of the bill favorably reported by the
House, providing for such increase. 1t was
learned during the discussion that the
books Of the water department contained
a delinquent list of water takers aggre-
eating something over $4,000. The officials
We're called before the Commissioners and
directed to compel strict observance Of
the law with respect to delinquents and
to turn off the water from those houses

Commissioners also desire the people all

unnecessary waste. Unless the household

Is, from an economical aspect, the too

as expcdiont, and in batteries of sets
by the use, too, of iron or steel pen

secured; the growing demand for large

THE BARBER'S REVENGE.
A Tale OF Tnikative TonsoriaI Artist
and His Grufr Customer

A Tale OF n Tnikative TonsoriaI Artist
and His Grunr Customer.
AS he threw himself back into the
embrace Of the cushioned chair of q
Union square barber shop he scowled
fiercely at the barber and buried his
face i'll the newspaper. But the barber
didn't mind the ugly opening. He
leaned over, garrotcd tho tonsorial pa
ticnt with towel and painted his face
with lathcr. When he had flipfapped
razor once or twice along the strop he
began mildly:
"Nico day, sir. -
ooh, is it?" answered tho other.
The barber looked startled, but he
tried again
Paper says we're going to have nice
weather now. :"
Thanks. was tho answer, 81 know
how to read myself. "
At this rebuff the barber kept 81
lence. But he shaved against the grain,
twcakcd the others nose and laubed
soap into the corner Of his mouth. The
gruff man swore softly, the barber
smiled, and as n final act of violence
grabbed the other by the top of the scalp
and twisted his head until the cervical
vertebr;r creaked again.
Say" cried the gruff man, "my
head ain t no roulette wheel +"
But still the barber shaved OH i'm ST.
lence. Ho shaved and shaved, scraping
the skin so close that it showed ragged
under the blade. Then, leaning over, he
grabbed handful of raw and tender
skin and rolled it between his fingers
until tho other groaned aloud. AS the
tear drops stole down the scarified face
the barber administered the final taunt:
Do you shave yourself, sir?''
No" roarcd the gruf man, leaping
up i'll tho chair, II shave my grand
mother and sisters nicces."
Then he buried his face i'll tho paper
and the barber smiled and smiled and
smiled, whilo he rubbed alum into tho
sore spots Gil the victims chin.
