outright were Claude English, james

Charles Rover.
The two others fatally injured were
Caleb Converse, head aud breast crushed.
He died shortly after the explosion. Al
Groat, was so fearfully mangIed by boiler
iron that he soon died. Dell Gridley was
injured internally and sustained broken
leg, but he will recover. Six of these men
were employees of Peck, Haskell a. Cobb of
Ulysses, Pa, who operated the saw mill.
Two of them, English and Converse, were
young men who happened to be in the
mill at the time as spectators.
HAD BEEN CONDEMNED.
The mill was run by steam, generated
in an old SO-horse boiler which it is re-
ported had been condemned by an in
spector a few days before because the
steam gauge failed to record accurately
the amount of steam pressure.
Thirteen men were employed In the
mill. This morning they were busy at
work when a belt broke necesstating
shutting down operations while il was
being repaired. Nobody paid any atten-
ton to the boiler. which was making
steam meantime at prodigious rate, for Il
hot fire had been kinded under it. 1t
vas nobodv's business in particular to
mind the boiler, for, rs in most Saw mills,
everybody took a hand occasionally IN
firing and except to stop or start the
engine, nobody paid much attention to
the steam.
TORN LIME FROM LlMB.
Suddenly there came boom as if from
a cannon, followed by cloud of steam,
dust and smoke, which rose high in the
air Four Of the victims were torn limb
from limb, and their remains scattered
about the mill and the immediate vicinity.
The mill was almost entirely demolished.
Parts of the boiler were blown hundreds
of feet. The victims were terribly man
gled, having their heads crushed 10 Il
Jelly aud being recognizable only by their
clothing.
The dead workmen were all married and
had families.

IT'S IUST SPLENDID.


The Wilmington Star. strong

of extra bright light on the morning
of March 18th. Ii spoke the truth
with such force that IL penetrated
and shon" through the miasmatic fog
of general Democratic misrepresen-

tniggery issues. 1t produced an edi-
torial headed How j. This a. 4
brief answer Is given in the heading
above.
Let it toe remembered that the
Democratic party, which the Star
represents, has been IN national power
two year, and the conditions de-
scrihed aie worse now than they ever
Were.

There Is no country IN the world
where so many men became speedily
and enormously rich a. IN the U1ited

These are facts which are patent
TO all, and among the first 10 arrest
the attention of visitors to our
shores.
Tnirty years ago this could not be
said, for then there were no tramps.

A Good Sign.

For several generations the masses
of the American people left their
financial policy entirely to their
party leaders. They made no secret
of the fact that they did not under
stand finance, and the questions
which they discussed were generally
of sectional or sentimental charac-
ter.
All this has been changed in the
past few years. The financial prob
lem has pushed it's way to the front,
and our professional men, merch-
ants, mechanics and farmers are
giving it their best thought In the
counting room of the city merchant
in the store of the country grocer, in
the lawyers office, in the Workshop
and at the ia 'mer's reside the vital
question of the day, our financial
system, is the ruling topic.
This is as it should be, and it is
one of the most encouraging signs
of the times. Many of oul politi-
clans are surprised every day to
meet plain business men and farmers
who are well informed in regard to
gold monome tallism and bimetallism
better informed.,han some of our
cOnoressmen who have been in pub
lie life for generation. During the
past twenty years we have had a
campaign of financial education
The average voter has studied
finance because his pocket has suf-
fered by the demonetization Of silver,
and necessity has forced him tC
think for himself, find out what is
the matter with our sy item and de-
eide upon the best remedy.
The outlook is hopeful when the
intelligence OF the country tackles
our most important problems. In
this matter We cannot afford to lei
the few think and act for the many
We must have every ballot stuffed
with brains. We must make the
financial issue so we'll understood
that demagogues and the hirelings ot
the Shylocks will not be able t
hoodwink the plain people, who foo
the bills and bear the burden.
Our business men, on. account oi
customers, can greatly aid the cause
of bimetallism by giving it theil
close attention and making then
views public. Their argumc nts anC
opinions will have weight with tn,
general public and with their con
gressmen. They will find 1t to thei
interest to look into the question, fo
it is settled fact that commerce anC
industry will continue to languist
until we restore the gold and silve
money of the constitution.--Atlant;

millionaires this financial system
did.
Ii was glorious tariff. they tell
us-one OF the most magnificent con
ceptions of siai-smAnsbip. which
built up American industries. and 20
DO II drove TO bankruptcy millions OF
once prosperous people, drove our
shipping from the seas, crippled our
export trade ia breadstuffs with other
nations, aud forced us to do our
shipping In foreign ships and pay
them sl0O, 900, 600 n year for carrying
stuff for US both ways across the
oceans. Here, then, look for one OF
the caus of tramps, the million
aires aud the strikes. That tariff
system begot n favored class of pro-
tected manufacturers and producers
OF certain raw materials. These
soon learned the art OF combining.
forming syndicstes and trusts which
absorbed and controlled the smaller
Industries and threw out of employ
ment the thousands OF men em ~ loyed
by them. With the immense capital
which they could command they
offered Inducements for the inven-
uoD OF labor-sayIng machinery, and
inventive geniu. soon supplied them
with machines that did the work OF
hundreds of men and at The same
time created hundreds Of tramps. As
they monopoliz.d the field Of ma.--
factures so also they were masters OF
the labor they employed, and IL for
any reason they didn't suit them
they sent abroad and employed for
.ign labor. That meant more trnmps.
strikes, lockoufs which made tramps.
IN made rich men but for every rich
man IL made hundreds OF pAupers Who
wandered iheearth workless homeless
and beggars for the food they could
not earn. This il one Of the fruits
of this "benefieent" system Of lop-
sided paternalism-
IL destroyed our shipping and In
doing so IL destroyed an industry
which directly and indirectly gave
employment TO thousands of men, and
thus IL made more tramps. But IL
did more than that. IL ruined ths
foreign market, where once our peo-
ducers of breadstuffs found a de-
msnd for heir surplus, and made
them dependent upon the home
market which could not consume the
surplus, and then came low prices
and rum to thousands upon thou
sands of our farmers who had been
prosperous and independent They
were not forced TO tramp because.
fortunately for them, they could
raise enough TO eat and had roofs
10 cover them; but thouands Of them
became the victims OF the mortgage
aud became mere tenants on the
acres they once owned. That's an
other Of the fruits OF this benefcenf,
lop-sided paternalism.

complete the wreck their stupidity
