Death BY EXPLOSION.
Singular Accident in a Crowded
Section of Boston.
SIX WERE INSTANTLY KILLED
And Score or More Injured, Some Of
Whom May Die from Their Wounds.
The Damage to Property VIII Reach
Thousands of Dollars.

Boston, March SAN accident, by
far the worst of its kind ever known
in Boston, occurred in this city yester-
day, when an explosion of illuminating
gas in the subway, at the intersection
OF fremont and Boylston streets,
caused the death of six persons and
the injury of q score or more of others,
although not more than ten were Sc
verely hurt. Buildings for hundreds
of feet in all directions were damaged
by the concussion, and several electric
cars which were passing at the time
were wrecked. One of these caught
fire and was burned to the trucks The
property loss will amount to thousands
of dollars, including not only that sus-
tanned by real estate owners, but also
that resulting from general demoli-
ton of goods In several of the stores
in the vicinity. The list of killed is as
follows:
Rev William A. Start of Medford,
bursar of Tufts college; William T..
Vinal of Salem, Mass: Miss A. NJ.
Bates of Boston; Guilford W. Bigelow,
driver on West End Street railway:
Benjamin Downey of Boston; Delano
Sibley.
The most seriously injured are: Fred
Deeley of Boston, dslocated elbow,
lacerated wound across the eyes and
head may die: r. r. Sargent of Bos-
ton, compound fracture Of skull, ex-
pected to die; William Maybour of
Boston, fractured skull; Paul Hackett
of Boston, both legs broken and head
cut; Mrs. Horatio Bigelow of Boston.
aged so years, injured back; Miss May
L. Stow of Waltham, fractured thigh
and scalp wound; w. Richardson of
Newark, N. j., cut on face and head;
s. D. Nicherson of Boston, secre-
tary of Masonic Temple, head and face
cut by glass; Samuel Morton of De-
troit, Mich, actor, severe scalp wound;
John Gill Of Boston, bad injury to
shoulder.
A. dozen others were treated at the
hospital for slight cuts and bruises,
while the emergency hospital physi-
clans and others who had gathered
with the crowd attended to many at
the scene Of the accident.
The explosion is thought to have re-
suited from the ignition Of gas from a
leaky main, either by a spark from a
passing electric car or from an improp-
erly insulated wire In the subway. An
investigation to determine just what
was the cause will be held by the au-
thorities. The property loss will, 1t is
thought, reach $4,000.

FORGET T-ME-NOr.

Once little floweret, down in the forest
Wished that ray of of sunshine would
through the foliage peep,
Great, mighty trees around 1t SO hid the
light from view,
That scarce you would have found it, and
such sweet flower too.
A tiny, little dewdrop had heard the
fioweret cry,
And downward through the treetops with
fastening wing did ty,
1t brought the fower.elixlr which dew
drops ever bring,
Which III ade that little blossom hold up
its head and sing.
The pearly dewdrop glistened upon that
And caught little sunbeam and held II
A tiny little sunbeam that from the rest
had strayed,
Caught by the dewdrop's prism and In
its course delayed.
Between them both they nursed II,
That frail and fragile flower,
Until it grew in beauty to grace lady
bower,
One day maiden passing, espied it hid
ing there,
And plucked that lovely blossom to deck
her brow so fair.
A youth came through the woodland, a
happy careless wight,
He stood enraptured gazing held spell.
bound by the sight,
The tale that loweret told me, theirs was
happy lot.
And, oh, they prize it dearly that blue
forget-me-not.
The flowers that decked tho valley, the
forest and the hill,
Long since have died and withered, for
winters snow will kill
But that sweet little posey In flower
transition dwells,
And OF two happy lovers the story Iow 1t
tells.

Tamasese, eX-king of Samoa, proiitinE
by the entire absence of warships,
were threatening King Malietoa at
Apia, the capital. Fighting had taken

In view of these considerations 1 shall
deem 1t my duty as president to con-
yene congress in extraordinary session
on Monday. the 18th day of March, 1881
In conclusion l congratulate the
country upon the fraternal spirit OF
the people and the manifestations of
good will everywhere so apparent. The
recent election not only most fortunate
ly demonstrated the obiiteration of sec
tional or geographical lines,but to some
extent the prejudices which for years
have distracted our councils and mar
red our true greatness as a nation.
The triumph Of the president, whose
verdict is carried into effect today,
Is not the triumph of one section, nor
wholly of one party. but of all sections
and all the people. The north and
south no longer divide on the old lines,
but upon principles and policies; and
in this fact surely every lover of the
country can find cause for true fellc!ta-
ton. Let us rejoice in and cultivate
this spirit; 1t is ennobling, and Will be
a gain and blessing to our beloved
country. 1t will be my constant aim
to do nothing and permit nothing done
that will arrest or disturb this grow
Ing sentiment Of unity and co-opera-
tion, this revival of esteem and affil-
ation, which now anmates so many
thousands in both the old antagonistic
sections; but ! shall cheerfully do
everything possible to promote and in
crease 1t.
Let me again repeat the words of the
oath administered by the chief JUS
tice, which, in their respective spheres,
so far as applicable. I would have
all my countrymen observe:
II will faithfully execute the office
Of president of the United States, and
will, to the best Of my ability, pre-
serve, protect and defend the constitu-
ton of the United States"
This is the obligation I have reve-
rently taken before the Lord Most
High To keep 1t will be my single
purpose-my constant prayer-and I
shall confidently rely upon the forbear-
ance and assistance of all the people

tibilitinc
