BOILERS BLEW UP.
Accident ON One of the Texas Launches
Yesterday.

Boston, October 21.-The boiler in one
of the steam launches of the battleship
Texas blew up while 1t was alongside the
battleship this evening, and number of
me, including two officers and surgeon,
were injured, none fatally.
The explosion occurred just as the
launch reached the ship having towed
to town the ships boats each full of men,
who were engaged in the naval parade
On the launch at the time were 35 men,
including Lieut. Commander Delehanty,
Lieut.. Bristol, Ensign Wadhams and
DIR. W. r. Dubose, the ships surgeon.
The smokestack, the top of the boiler
and the part of the canopy over the boil
er were blown into the air, and what was
left Of the launch caught fire from the
sheet of fame that followed the bursting
of the boiler, but the fire had little time to
burn. The men in the pit with the boil
er, John Phillips, an oiler, and John
Fisher, coal passer, were thrown vio-
lently against the wooden partition.
Fisher was badly injured, probably in
ternally. Phillips escaped with bruises.
The coxswain, Thomas Sullivan, was
only bruised. There were IL men stand
ing outside the canopy when the accident
happened and all were thrown into the
water, but were quickly picked up.

OPENING OF INDIAN MlNTS.
Lord Salisbury Tells why It Should be
Done.

London, October 21.-The Marquis of
Salisbury, in his note to the United
States ambassador, Baron De Courcel,
says that far the most important proposal
submitted is that concerning the re.
opening of the India mints. adding
The government of Indiana points out
that they can hardly be expected to give
up policy which, for four years, they
have been endeavoring to make effective,
in the absence of substantial security
that the system to be substituted for it,
ia practically certain to be stable. If,
owing to the relative smallness of the
area over which the bi-metallic system is
to be established, to the great divergence
between the proposed ratio and the pres
ent gold price Of silver, or to any other
cause, the legal ratio of silver were not
maintained, the position OF silver might be
much worse than before and the financial
embarrassments Of the government of
India greater than any with which they
have as yet had to contend"
The reply then adds that even If these
reasons are not strong enough, the Indian
government could not be expected to re-
verse policy which has only been on
trial for four years and concludes:
Her Majesty's government is therefore
desirous to ascertain how far the views
of the French and American govern
ments have been modified by the decision
arrived at and whether they desire to
proceed further with the negotiations at
the present moment. 1t is possible that
the time which has lapsed since the pro
posals were put forward in July last may
enable the representatives of the two gov
ernments concerned to form more ac-
curate estimate than then practicable of
the amount of assistance they say they
expect from other powers and Of the sue
GEES their scheme is likely to attain. The
government might then be placed in a
position to consider the subject with
fuller knowledge than they now possess
of many of the circu instances materially
affecting the proposals before them

A WEST INDIA CYCLONE.
Swept the Coast of Southern New England
Yesterday.

Boston, October 21.-A genuine West
India cyclone, which, sweeping up from
the south made its appearance off the
Southern New England coast yesterday,
redoubled it's efforts today, blowing with
terrific force aIongshore, and causing as
usual considerable inconvenience to ship
ping and at least one wreck on Cape Cod.
Those ships that missed seeing the signal
flags had a hard time Of it off the coast
last night, for the wind blew at least 30
miles an hour, and probably considerably
harder near the centre of the storm,
which early this morning was located
southeast of Nantucket.
In this city the highest velocity was 40
miles an hour. but as the storm worked
farther off shore this afternoon, the wind
decreased rapidly, although it left an
ugly sea in the bay, so much SO that the
Baltimore steamer Essex, and the Ban
gor and Portland boats did not sail.
At a late hour tonight the wreck of the
Lamper off Nauset, which fortunately
was unattended by loss of life, was the
only disaster reported.

KELLY'S FIENDlSH DEED.
Threw Vitriol in Faces of Two Girls With
out Provocation.

South Norwalk, Conn. October al
Jennie Kinsella, 81 young girl employed
in the Winnipauk mills, is in a critical
condition tonight as the result of having
vitriol thrown in her face. Her assailant
is shoemaker named Kelly, who resides
in New Canaan, and is well-known
character about here. The object of the
assault is mystery. Kelly was arrested.
Miss Kinsella with several other girls,
was returning from work tonight when
they were overtaken by Kelly, who ao-
costed them and continued walking by
Kelly who accosted them and continued
walking behind them.
When they reached the cemetery he dis
appeared, but just as the girls who all
resided in the same house had reached
their home, Kelly reappeared and with
out any remarks. threw the contents OF
two glasses in the face of Miss A1nsella
and Mary Troy, one of her companions.
Miss kinsella was terribly burned about
the face and was blinded, and 1t is
thought that even IL she survives the
shock she will lose her eyesight. Besides
being Iadly disfgured Miss Troy was
badly burned about the face though not
seriously. The alarm was given and kel-
ly was overtaken, but professed to know

X-RAY IN MURDER TRIAL.

Watertown, N. Y, October 21.-For the
first time in the history of murder trials
an X ray photograph has been offered in
evidence.
This occurred in the Haynes murder
trial in this city this afternoon. In this
case the prosecution claims that 80
calibre bullet struck Allen on his jaw,
that it split and one piece was DETECTED
into the chin, and that the other piece
is in the back OF Aliens head. The de-
fense claims that the substance at the
base Of Aliens skull is not fragment
of .3a calibre bullet, but is complete
.32 calibre bullet. To prove this claim
the defense produced an X-ray photo
graph OF Aliens neck, showing the SUBJ
stance which resembles bullet near the
second vetebra at the base of the skull.
DR.. Gilbert Cannon of this city made the
photograph and from experiments says
that the bullet is not .33 calibre bullet
Both sides argued for several hours this
afternoon over the offer in evidence OF
the photograph by the defense. Justice
Wright finally allowed it and it was ex-
amined carefully by the jury.
