SPRING BLOSSOMS FOR THE DEAD
Our Little City's Tribute to the Wear
ers of the Blue.
Patriots Assemble Despite the Weeping
Clouds

While Memorial Day was being observ-
ed in a grand and elaborate style in all
the great cities OF the North, while mag
nolia blossoms, palmettoes, wild smilax
and other rare flowers from the sunny
South, were being strewn by the thous-
ands on the graves OF our countries
heroes in the great cities, band OF
thirty-eight little girls, clad i'll red, white
and blue, with the stars and stipes float
ing DER their heads, marched to the cen-
etery near this village and then laid
sweet flowers in fond remembrance on
the graves of those old soldiers who now
lie quietly sleeping so far from the scenes
of the battle field. Although the exer-
cises here were not SO elaborate as III
many larger places, still we do not BE-
lieve that there were any more instruct
i've, enthusiastic or patriotic gatherings
than in Eagle River on memorial day,
1895 Although there We're intermittent
showers, and dark leaden clouds obscured
the sun, still at two O'Clock in the after
noon, OH Division street a procession
had formed led by James Oberholtzer,
marshall of the day, followed by the
Eagle Cornet Band; then came the old
soldiers, followed by daughters OF veter-
ans and school girls beautifully attired,
under command OF Frank Quinn. The
different secret societies, Masons, Odd
Fellows and Modern Woodmen, in uni
forms, and the fire department. and citi-
liens completed the procession. On ac-
count of the inclement weather the march
was straight to the Rink, where the
daughters of veterans gave a very inter-
esting exhibition drill, commanded by
Mr. Quinn, with the accurcy and precis-
sion of militia. America was then rend-
cred by the choir in stirring tones. Then
came all Grafton by Rev HI. G. Todd. We
are sorry that this GRAFTON can not be
printed in full, but as is Mr.. Todd's GUS
tom much of this Grafton wasinprompto

interrupted several times by applause,
and at the conclusion OF his Grafton the
great appreciation of the audience was
demonstrated in the same manner.
Barbra Frenchie'' was rendered by
Miss Edith Mcintyre in q very able and
pleasing manner. Recitation by Lucy
Stevens and Eta Smith deserve much
praise. Patriotic songs by the choir and
national airs by the band followed. The
exercises at the Rink We're closed with
the benediction pronounced by Rev.
Todd.
Great credit is due to Mr.. Frank Quinn
for his untiring efforts to bring about
these memorial exercises. For several
weeks past he has DEVOTED much of his
time, in drilling the daughters ofveterans
and school children, and making other
necessary arrangements for the exercises

capacity of twenty engines and contained
six locomotives when the tire broke out.
The flames were first seen in the cupula.
The alarm was telephoned to she city
fire department.. In the meantime the
men got one stream on the blaze. The

closely in towards the building to more
effectively com bat the flames. 1t was

A RESTLESS BOILER
Left Its Bed and Went Across the
Street,
DEMOLISHING SEVERAL BUILD
INGS ON ITS WAY.

The Fireman Was at Home Eating Dinner
and 1t Is Supposed the Water Became
Low, Causing the Explosion-NIany

to $4,000.
Webster, Mass, March l7.-The resi-
dents of this town were startled at noon
today by terrific explosion in the south
village. In the mill OF the Slater Wool
en- Company, sixty horse power Allen
boiler burst, wrecking many thousand
dollars worth of property. No one was
killed or seriously injured.
The cause of the accident probably will
always remain mystery, but it is be-
lieved that there was no water in the
boiler. Joseph Chlninski, Pole, had
charge of the boiler room today, and it
is said he was at home eat ing dinner at
the time Of the explosion.
The boiler was one of the twelve A lien
boilers, located in the south end of the
mill yard, near the corner OF Main and
Peter streets.
The boiler was driven out of the build
low Main street through She basement
and parlor up stairs of the corporation
tenement occupied by asDomi family and
across Main street, striking the stone
foundation of the old tavern, where it
lodged. Rosa Domi was sitting in the
parior at the time and was precipitat-
ed into the basement, but was not in
jured beyond a severe shaking up,

force enough to bore large hole in the
stone underpinning and then turned it.
self completely around, at distance of
about forty feet from It's bed. The shock
was felt all over the town and at first
| caused much CONSERVATION, as it was
believed half of the Domi family must
have been fatally injured.
A young man named Stratton was on
the sidewalk and the boiler passed with
in few feet of him. The engine
house and dry room, two large one astory
buildings of brick, were completely ru-
ined. The wool III the latter building
took fire and fire alarm could not be
sounded as the large gong of the sy stem
was on the engine house and mad been
destroyed. However, the fire department
succeeded in getting the fire under con-
troll before it spread to the other build
ings of the factory. In the-wool drying
room were 200 bales of wool valued at
about $500. This wool is practically
ruined. In the enpiSe house were
twelve Allen boilers valued at $40. 900
Corless engine valued at $4,000, akGreen
engine and an apparatus for ghting the
factory by electricity. With the damage to
the buildings the loss will easily reach
SIS. OO0
The boilers, engines, dynamos and
mill buildings were insured, the amount
cannot be ascertained. The tenement
houses damaged have no insurance.
The mill is so crippled that operations
cannot be resumed for month at least.
