Blast Furnace Explosion.

The big Rosena Furnace, at New Cas-
tie, Pa, owned by Mark Hanna and Ex-
Senator Cameron, got to acting in a
manner that led the men to believe that
something was wrong on Sunday, and
Manager Ell Refs was called from his
home AMI went with the men to the
casting house to see them make cast.
They had been there but II moment,
when the furnace let go, and the next
instant heavy volume of coke, iron
ore, and coal came crashiI through the
roof of the casting honse, burying thirty
men under the debris. The coke and
other matter was flying through the air
for several hundred feet, and the dust
that arose made the greatest confusion.
As soon as possible order was restored
and the work of rescue began Mana
ger Refs WAS extricated from the debris,
with the skin hanging in shreds from
his hands and arms, and dozen other
men were painfully cut, bruised, and
burned on various parts of the body. 1t
is marvellous that several were not killed
outright.

Killed by a Live Wire.

Syracuse, May PA number of lads
this morning had great sport with a
live electric wire at the corner of Charles
and Milton avenues. The wire had been
employed as guy to support an cleo
trio light pole, but had come down and
crossed live wire in falling. They at
tached 1t to piece of barbed wire from a
neIghbor's fence and laid the latter
across the cycle path, from which wheel
men would attempt to remove it in pass
ing and receive a shock. Another trick
was to throw 1t over a trolley wire, max
ing short circuit and stopping the
cars.
Martin Dinehart. a 10 year-old lad
who was playing barefooted about the
corner, grasped the wire and, becoming
ventursome, ran his hand swiftly across
point where the insulation had worn
OFF. He was standing with bare feet on
the tracks of a disused trolley line at
the time. The boy died in about eight
minutes. He had received about 3
500 volts.

Grangeville, May 22.-Particulars
have reached here of disastrous cloud
burst that visited the valley of the Sal

and desolation and laying waste to one

loss because of the carrying away of
dams and fumes. The settlers were
compelled to flee to the hills for safety.

The Democratic Legislators must see
that not a cent of the public money is
wasted on the O-called Philadelphia Lex
ow committee which was created to serve
bipartisan purpose and to aid one side in
factional quarrel. 1t has accomplished
no good ends whatever. The last le yisla-
ture refused to give it any money to
waste and the present body should act
with like wisdom, especially now that
the charitable institutions of the state
will need every cent of revenue that can
be spared. The responsibility of settling
this matter to the bests interests of the
public rests with the Democratic mem
hers.

IHE prOtectionists.

The protectionists, says the Phila-
delphia Record, ever sihce the result OF
the presidential election was made
known in November, 1892, have never
tired Of asserting that the hard times
which followed were due to the elec
tion of Cleveland. They were equally
certain that good times would follow the
election of Mckinley III November, 1896
But they were mad wrong both in their
deductions and their prophecies. In so
far as the hard times were due to GOV
ernment policies, they followed upon ex
travagance In expenditure and expeli
ments in finance made in 1890, for
which the Republican party was respon-
sible and which the Democratic admin
istratiOn failed to completely remedy.
Mckinley takes up the task where Cleve-
land left off, but neither Cleveland nor
Mckinley has been able to more than
execute the laws; and when there shall
be return of good times it will be in
spite of bad legislation rather than in
consequence of good legislation. 1t is
hard to keep the head of this "billlon-
dollar country under water even with
the load of fixed expenditure which has
been fastened about its neck

pIaint is made that the schools of the

reference to the light, and especially
that no attention is paid to pupils Wis

With regard TO Chairman Dingley's
admission that the duty on wool will
increase the price q wool, the Kansas
City Times says: 1.-The consumer and
not the foreigner, therefore, paws the
tariff tax. 1t comedies also that the
home producer puts up his prices arbi-
trarlly. Mr.. Dingley's own words are a
confession that the Dingley bill is a
fraud and robbery of the people for
the benefit of the few individuals and
corporations. -

but IN sheep" the Chicago Tribune
