their charming guests. Misses

All the pretty girls and hand :
some boys, in short of the cream

the pleasure, not in the misty

FOUR LIVES LOST.
Premature Explosion of Dyna-
mite at Clinton, Mass.
Workmen In Nashua River Tunnel
Blown TO Pieces.

CLINTON. Mass, Sept 24-rhe most seri-
Gus accident that has occurred on the
Nashua river tunnel of the Metropolitan
water basin at this place happened at six
o'clock ut night at shaft No. ., which is To-
Gated within 25 feet of Ramsdcll pond, near
the Clinton and Boylston town lines.
At that hour Il premature explosion of
dynamite occurred while five employees were
at work in the shaft. and three of them were
instantly killed and a fourth victim expired
before the ambulance could reach the Clin-
ton hospital. A fifth workman is at the hos
pital and is not expected to live. having suf
fered a fractured skull, while his body and
limbs are filed with pieces of jagged rock.
The accident occurred just mt the time the
men We're preparing for the usual afternoon
blast, and how the explosion came to its
deadly work will probably be never definitely
known. None of the officials at the works
are able to give an explanation but it is
the opinion OF some of the forcmen at
the shafts that flash of lightning is respon-
sible for the deadly work. The dead arc

When the men at the top of the ground
heard the report of the discharge of the
blast they were filed with CONSERVATION
and for while stood transit xed with fear. not
daring to go below to witness the terrible
sight which they knew would be before them.
At length the elevators were lowered and
the sight that met their eyes was one that
all the party will remember as long as they
live. There, among piles of jagged and
ugly rocks. lay the mangled and mutiated
bodies of their five comrades. some of them
torn in pieces almost beyond recognition,
while portions of their arms and legs were
scattered about the walls of the subter-
ranean passages.
The men who were alive whenthe reached
them were at once taken to the top of the
shaft, and medical examiner O'COnnor and
Dr. James j. Goodwin of this town who
were summoned, We're on the scene within
10 minutes, and dressed the wounds Of the
men as best they could in the rain and thun-
der storm which ragged ut the time. The
Clinton ambulance started for the town with
its load of human freight, but James Perry
died just as Lancaster Mills bridge was
reached.

BISMARCK'S VIEW.
Writes to Governor CulbersOn on
Rimetallisnl.

RimetaIlisnl.
DALLAS. Tex, Sept. Ex-Governor Cul-
berson on July wrote to prince Bismarck
asking for his views on bimetallism and the
likelihood of the United States government
being able to adopt and maintain such II
financial policy Independent of any other
nation. Prince Bismarck answered as fol-
lows:
Friedrichsrhue. 1896.
Honored Sir--Your esteemed favor of July
has been duly received. | have always
had a prediction for bimetallism. but l
would not. while in office. claim my views
of the matter to be infallibly true when ad-
vanced against the views Of experts.
| hold to this very hour that it would be
advisable to bring about between the nations
chiefly engaged in the worlds commerce a
ment of bimetallism.
Considered from a commercial and indus
trial standpoint. the United States are freer
by far in their movements than any
nation of Europe. and hence If the
people of the United States should
find it compatible with their interests
to take independent action in the direction
of bimetallism | cannot but believe that such
action would exert most salutary influence
upon the consummation of international
agreement. and the coming into this league
of every European nation.
Assuring you of my highest respect. | re-
main, your most obedient servant
