PARIS EXPOSITION POINTS.

Visiting the great Paris exposition

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Part OF Pittsburgh Steel Mill
Wrecked-one Man Killed and
Many others Hurt.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 30.-The steel
department of Phillips, Simick & Co.'S
mill on West Carson street was COM
pletely wrecked and one man was
killed and a dozen were injured by the
explosion of battery of four large
boilers. The shock of the bursting
boilers was heard throughout the low
er end of the city and several thou
sand people were attracted to the
scene of the accident. The loss to the
plant will be enormous. All the in
jured men were quickly removed from
the ruins. Five were mutilated almost
beyond recognition and one or two
more deaths may result. The injured
were taken to a temporary hospital
hastily provided and local physicians
were summoned to relieve their suffer
ing. A rescuing party then went to
work searching the wreckase, which it
is supposed entombs others of the
workmen. Simon Holland is the name
of the dead man.
The explosion was one of the most
terrific that ever occurred in Pitts
=
room was completely lifted from the
building, and the flying iron and steel
fell in all directions. Heavy beams
and portions of the masonry were
thrown from the foundations. The
men were crushed to the ground on
the spot where they were attending
to the rolls, and those beside the boil
ers were scalded by the escaping
steam. The bodies of the men were
so burned and begrimed that they
were scarcely recognizable. The fami-
lies of the workmen who live in the
neighborhood realized the extent of
the accident the moment the thunder
of the explosion was heard, and wom-
en- and children rushed at once to the
mill, crying for their loved ones, who
were believed to be buried beneath the
ruins. 1t was impossible for the cool
er heads to keep back the torrent of
humanity that surged up to the gates,
and for a time the frantic women in
terfered with the work of the rescuers.
The mill had been stopped over Sun
day and the boilers had just been fired
preparatory to starting the mills
again. More than 100 men were stand
ing about ready to go to work when
the explosion occurred. One of the
boilers rose on end and a sheet of
flame shot out of the furnace door,
completely enveloping Holland. The
cause of the explosion cannot be
known until thorough investigation
is made. No estimate of the property
loss has been made.

AGAINST THE SALOONS.
fects Seriously the Liquor Bust
ness of Des Moines.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 3O.-According
to decision of the supreme court
every saloon in the city is running
without legal sanction and in violation
of the law.
In 1894 a petition of consent was
filed and it was thought the names
of 60 per cent. of voters, as required
The question of the legality of the
signatures to the petition was raised
by the Anti-Saloon league, and evil
dence was presented to prove that less
than the required number of voters
names was on the petition. The SUI
preme court holds that the evidence is
sufficient to prove the correctness of
the leagues claims. The saloon
keepers have signified their intention
to apply for an injunction to restrain
the operation of the decision until an
other petition can be secured.

Washington, Jan. 30.--The senate
committee on privileges and elections
Monday heard number OF witnesses
on minor points involved in the charges
against Senator Clark, of Montana.
The protestants took occasion during
the day to withdraw all limitations
against Hon. j. X. Toole, who withdrew
from the Montana contest for United
States senator under circumstances
which the protestants were at first in
clined to consider suspiciously favor
able to Mr.. Clark. The prosecution al
so declined during the day TO put two
witnesses on the stand who had been
summoned at their instance because
the men had talked unsatisfactory
since their arrival in Washington. Both
ex-senator Edmunds and Mr.. Campbell
said it would be unfair to both sides to
call the witnesses to testify.
