LIVES SAVED BY TIMELY WARNING
| Sixty Thousand Pounds Powder and Three
Hundred O Dynamite Explode.

Sixty Thousand Pounds Powder and Three
Hundred o. Dynamite Explode.
Mobile, Ala, Jan. 20.-About 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon the planlng
mill of the Dixie Mill Company, locat-
ed about five miles above the city on
Mobile river, caught fire and was TO-
tally consumed. The plant was valued
at about $4,000 and insured for about
S25, 900.
During the progress OF the hre,
sparks set fire to the city magazine,
which was located across the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad track from the
mill. and about o'clock residents of
this city were startled by a tremendous
explosion which broke glass in many
houses in the northern part of the city
and as far out as the convent in Sum-
merville, about nine miles from the
scene of the explosion.
Men. at work on the tower of the
convent were almost shaken off, and
in some parts of the city chimneys were
shaken down.
At the time of the explosion there
were $4,000 pounds of powder and 3OC
pounds of dynamite stored in the mag
aZine. The air in the vicinity was
filled with flying bricks and number
of cottages were blown to pieces.
The lateness of the hour at which the
explosion occurred and the inaccessi-
bility of the place at night make il
impossible tonight to verify all the re-
ports as to casualties to human life.
Mr. Gwyn, bookkeeper of the Dixie
Mill Company, was slightly hurt by
flying bricks and Bob knight, colored
is reported to have been seriously in
jured in the same manner.
+ When the sparks set fire to the roo
of the magazine the blaze that follow
ed was seen by a man who immedi'
ately warned the people living in the
cottages nearby to flee for their lives
The act of this man, whose name coulc
not be learned, saved number o.
lives.

The Effect of Lying.

The one great thing that makes so much

vertisers Themselves. They lie about their
goods. They tell what isn't 50. For instance,
one man says he sells soap that is wonder

all she has to do is TO buy the soap AID sit
down. The soap will do the rest. 1t will
finish the job. According to his ads the SOAP
is living, breathing thing. II can do every
thing but talk. 1t rolls up its sleeves, spits
on its hands and proceeds to drive out all the

exaggerating little, but not very much.

FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION AT SEA.
Boiler Of steamer Sachalien Expiodes on
the Coast OF China.

steamer HApio'es oh
the Coast OF China.
San Francisco. Jan. 20.-The steam
er Rio de JanerO brings news that one
of the boilers of the French steamer
Sachalien exploded while the vessel
was on the Chinese coast on December
2. bound from Singapore for Hong
Kong. Eleven of the stokers in the
fire room and one of the engineers
were killed instantly by the explosion
or by the scalding steam. The chief
stoker was so badly injured that he
died a few hours afterward. and four
other firemen died the next day as
result of their burns. The vessel was
crowded with passengers and there was
the widest confusion on board. The
passengers had just assembled in the
saloon for dinner when there came a
loud report like that of cannon from
the direction of the engine room. The
deck beams were torn up. Gratings
were sent flying in the air and the
steamer trembled from stem to stern.
A dense cloud of steam and smoke is
sued from the matches with deafening
roar of escaping steam.
The officers of the vessel. who were
on the decks. rushed to their places at
the life boats, and from the cabins
came screaming women and shouting
men. II was some time before order
could be restored, and the extent of the
disaster ascertained-
