Special to The News.


NEW YORK, May 3.-S.. Paul earnings
for the fourth week of April decreased
s2263. For the month it shows a decrease
OF s2O3,052. This week contained one
more working day than last year, which
makes difference of about 100000.
The anthracite coal agents have agreed
to mine only three days In each week.
This will amount TO about $500, 900 tons
per month. 1t is now a question IL the
miners will strike, being unemployed for

overstocked that a strike would prove a
good thing.

The list of dead is as follows:
CHARLES O'NEIL, Jr., OF Maynard
Mass, aged 80 years and unmarried.
NELSON MORTON OF Action, aged 80
leaves q widow and several children.
FREDERICK X. WINsLow, South Acton
aged 80, married.
CHARLES ESTES, South Acton, aged %
married.
A. ESTES, South Acton, leaves a widow
and six children.
All OF the mills which exploded are
small structures, and only q few men
are employed In each. Morton and
Winslow were at work in the
press mill, the second to explode.
One Of the Estes brothers worked I'm the
first mill that blew up. The other Estes
and O'Neil were teamsters and were at
work in the mill yards. All five were
instantly killed.
fierce fire is burning anon e the ruins
of the mills and spread to the woods
near by half an hour after
the first explosion occurred. The
loud detonstion, which could
be heard for miles, brought hun
dreds from every direction and soon
big crowds gathered in the vicin-
ity of the catastrophe. Fire
men came from Concord, Acton and
Maynard and a vigorous fight to save the
remaining property was begun. All the
roads nearby were blockaded and
every effort was made to keep
the crowds out of danger.
In short time the flames had spread SO
that it seemed that the big store house
where 10000 pounds OF powder
were stored, and the dryhouse close by,
must be destroyed.
The firemen fought bravely, however,
in the very face of danger. in the shadow
of the storehouse, and by desperate work
succeeded in beating back the fire, and
getting it under control by IL o'colck.
The search for the dead was commenced
soon after and the five mangled bodies
were found among the smouldering ruins.
They were fearfully mangled and
could hardly be recognized. The
horses attached to the teams which
O'Neil and Estes had in the mill
yard were blown to pieces, while
the carts were reduced to splinters.
The wreckage was blown hundreds of
feet from the scene, and trees in the woods
were blown down. The mill
buildings themselves were almost
wholly demolished. The cause OF the
explosion is not known, and it is probabl
that it will never be. The mills were con-
sidered very safe, every precaution being
taken TO prevent accident. One fire oc-
Cured about two yeers ago, and another
about three years before that.
The Estes brothers who were killed
came here a short time ago. The loss to
buildings is between 600 and 10000.

Nervousness

: Is really only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
.vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
- When the blood Is full OF the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails TO properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and rheumatism are uni
versally recognized AS blood diseases,
for which Hoods Ssrsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition Of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you are
taking preparation which only guiets
your nervesl tits like trying 10 drown
your sorrows In the flowing bowl.
They are sure TO return, ten fold VorSe.
We wish TO make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by

with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. III you take such articles
you are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE TO be REAc-
TON which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the bee line to the state of
health, purify your blood and cure
your nervousness by taking

The OTHER SIDE.
Recent Robberies in this Vicinity Re.
viewed by Detective.

Detective Parker says robberies and
burglaries are on the wane and
he considers Providence very
fortunate. The only breaks worth
mentioning in long time were the two
jewelry safe robheries and that at
Comstock's. They may have net
ted the perpetrators $1,000, think
the police. Outside of these, property
stolen in several months would not
amount TO more than $500 sold to fences
or pawned.
The property stolen from Mr. Buff
fngtou's residence would not bring,
melted down, more than sS or sl0,
and to replace it would cost about
$50. Preston q Rounds loss, placed at
sl32, could be made good for $40, accord
ing to man who has offered
voting s1O for commission to the man
who gets him the order. The loss
at DR.. Capron's house, re-
Gently, can safely be computed
at s25, the police alsn state. The Padel-
ford robbery, according to Mr.. Padelford,
amounted to nothing worth mention
ing"
Deceive Parker says that Brook
line and Newton, Mass, take the
premium for burglaries, having so and 80
a month, while in Providence there
is one about every four weeks on
the average, SO hereafter merchants and
householders may wear a more cheerful
expression.

AT CHITRAL
Major Robertson's Brave
Band in Dire Straits.
The Enemy Surprised in an Attempt
at Explosion.

LONDON, May 3-The Times publishes
lengthy dispatch from Chitral describing
the siege Of che fort at that place, in which
the British agent at Gilgit, Sergeant Major
Robertson, shut himself up. with his cs-
cort Of 300 British and native troops, when
Sher Afzul captured Chitral.
The garrison, it appears, had supplies
which, on short rations would have lasted
until the middle of June, hut they had
little or no meat and were reduced to eat
ing horsefesh. The Sepoys, when ps-
lieved, looked like corpses. and the officers
were pale and worn, but they were conf
dent Of being able to last it out, although
they could have only done so with terrible
privation.
The discipline and steadiness. as we'll as
the enthusiasm of the Sikhs, are described
as magnificent Upon one occasion those
who were in the hospital rushed out to
take part in the defense.
Enemy's subterfuge Failed.
After a detailed report Of the measures
taken for the defense and describing the
attacks made upon the fort, the dispatch
pictures the main action, which was
fought on April IL. Captain Townshend,
the chief military officer. noticed that the
enemy had been playing tom toms in
summer house. outside of the fort, which
they had captured, and it struck the cap
tain that this might have been done to
drown the noise Of mining
After careful listening, faint sound Of
pick was heard about 10 feet from the
southwest tower. Thereupon, Lieutenant
Harley and party consisting of 40 Sikhs
aud 90 Kashmir troops was tolled off for a
sally. Taking with them $50 pounds OF
gunpowder with which TO blow up the
mine, the door of the garden gate on the
east side OF the fort was opened quietly
and the sallying party rushed out with
fixed bayonets.
There weDe few struggling shots and
the summer house was taken. Thirty-f five
OF the enemy were bayoneted as they came
out of the mino. The powder bags were
then laid and the mine was blown up.
The sallying party afterward hurried
back to the fort, having lost eight killed
and l3 wounded. The enemy lost 20 men,
nearly all of whom were killed.
