Boston, March 5.-An explosion Of
gas which leaked FROM the two great
six1fnch mains which cross the subway
at the corner of fremont and Boylston
streets, killed six. injured two proba-
bly, fatally, and nearly so other persons
at 11:45 o'clock Thursday. boom
like that of cannon was followed by
smoke which seemed to rise from the
very bowels of the earth and then flames
shot upward and blazed in the midst Of
the thoroughfares where there is more
travel than anywhere else In a given
section of the city.
Horses lay dead on the pavements;
panic-stricken passengers were endcav-
cring to escape with their lives from the
interior of burning cars. and the steam
ire engines were on the scene pouring
t%0 water upon the rapidly disap-
peaN osrs. The glass in the build
ingsvrisre shattered along fremont
street rs far as Lagrange street. and
north beyond the fremont theater to
Washington street, and west almost TO
Park square.

Cause of the Explosion.
Not only were all the window fronts
broken in the neigh borhood, but from
a jewelers. window, precious stones,
said to be worth $4,000, were scat
tered about the street. The founda-
tons of the Hotel Pelham are said to
have been shaken badly, while every
window display in the neighborhood
was injured more or less. 1t is utterly
impossible TO estimate the loss in that
direction. The immediate cause of the
explosion is of course uncertain, but
the most generally-accepted theory is
that it was started by a spark from the
electric motor of the Mount Auburn
car igniting the gas which escaped
from the old main that runs alcag the
south side of Boylston street.

March 15.

Washington, March S.-President Nc
Kinley has issued a proclamation con-
voking congress in extra session Mon
day, March Is. Some pressure has been
brought to bear upon the president to
induce him to defer the meeting for a
couple of weeks, in order TO permit sena-
tors and members to visit their homes
10 attend to business and family mat
tiers. The president, before reaching a
final decision, consulted with Mr.. Reed
and with other prominent republicans,
and upon hearing that the tariff bill
could be made ready for consideration
as soon as the house had organized for
business. decided to adhere TO his origi-
nal programme.
President Mckinley is anxious that
10 time should be lost in revising the
tariff. II is his belief that until the tariff
is out of the way permanent prosperity
cannot come TO the country, and he will
10 everything in his power to hasten
the day. The call is as follows:

ton as may be made by the executive.

In every section of this country there IL
more or less land lying idle and bringing the
owner but little in the way of revenue. As
the country gradually becomes more thick
ly settled, taxes OIL real estate grow high
er and the burden from carrying unproduc-
ing or waste land more irksome. 1t ID good
business TO make every foot of land yield
something to help bear its share of the ex-
penses of the farm. This may be done in
several ways. That land which is too wet
for the pillow may he ditched or tile drained,
and thus he brought under cultivation and
production. A more difficult task will be
encountered, however, in clearing up tim
ber-land, in removing trees, stumps, grubs,
ETC., etc. For. this purpose several machines
have been put upon the market, but none
are better than that made by the Milne
Manufacturing Co., 74l Eighth ST., Mon
mouth, ILL.,, thoroughly responsible firm,
whose advertisement appears in this paper.
They manufacture the Hawkeye Grub and
Stump machine in several sizes, and guar
antoe il to pull stumps or grubs, and to pull
up trees of ordinary size. This machine, I'M
like others, does not need to be moved for
every stump, but will clear out a circle of
two acres at one sitting. Write this firm
