BOSTON, April 0.-Rev. Isaac j. Lapsing,
pastor of the Park street church In this
city who, in an address before the New
nnglnnd Methodist conference at Salon
last week, called President Cleveland q
@funkard, last night declared himself as
follows on the subject:
my allusion made In temperance ad-
dress at Salem on Thursday, April 4. to
The drinking habits of the President of
Ne Bnitsd States, was based partly on
common report and partly on tho testi.
uhony Of eye witnesses. From various and
Apdependent sources. which 1 believed to
- wholly reliable, / had been informed
that the president had been seen ON differ
snt occasions and In the presence Of many
persons, In an intoxicated condition.
'From the clrcumstantial and detailed
character of these statements. supposed
thore was no doubt as to the facts alleged.
], ther efore made this allusion as mat
ter of common report basing my conf
dence on the testimony of personal, and,
as supposed, credible witnesses.
"The names of thcso witnesses, obvi-
ously, cannot, with propriety, reveal,
since sharing their knowledge in common
with many others,
They Might Justly Shrink
from being singled out and called to ver-
ify that of which, not only they, but
others equally with themselves, had ocu-
lar proof.
IL must therefore say that II my state
ment reproducing such testimony Is not
IN harmony with facts, regret having
made il. could have neither desire nor
motive for saying anything unkind or un-
charitable OFFS he president or Of any party
Whatsoever.
'"The case being one of conflict of tcsti
mony between witnesses of equal credi-
bility cannot decide, and since have
no personal knowledge, apart from the
testimony, withdraw the statement and
tender apologetic and sincere regrets to
the President Of the United States and TO
the public"

plant, was called to the boiler room to
see If II could be fixed. 1t was soon
found that the water supply could not
be properly adjusted, but this was
remedied. Five minutes before o'clock
Parker entered the boiler room and
ordered that the whistles be blown TO
start the works.
The rope attached TO the whistles was
pulled and instantly there was a fear
full explosion. The big iron smoke
stack on the boiler was blown high in
the air and fell across the roof of the
shop and the tall brick chimney fell
m thousand pieces. crushing the en-

and dust cleared away, a scene of ruin
and wreck was revealed. Men hurried
from all parts Of the town and the work
Of removing those buried under the
ruins was commenced Immediately.
The piteous cries Of the injured who
were pinned under the debris urged on
the rescuers to more rapid work and in
a short time the bodies of four men
had been removed and six of the injur-
