ton, D. c.
Mrs. Roach had large circle Of
friends both in this state and the
adjacent counties of Maryland. She
was greatly beloved by those who
knew her, on account OF her klnd-
ness Of heart, her gentleness Of
manner. and cheerfulness OF dispo-
sitiou. She was affectonately de-
voted to the interests Of her family,
and appreciated to the last the
sweet friendships that she had
formed throughout the period Of her
lite.
She had been a consistent and
faithful member ofthe M. e. church
since she was a girl of sixteen.
During her residence in this city
she was connected respectively with
Asbury and st. Paul's churches,

She retained her mental faculties
unlmpared to the last. AS the hour
of dissolution drew near she was
surrounded by those who loved her
best-her children, grandchildren,
and great grandchildren. to whom
she gave the most pronounced as
suranees that all was well with
her soul. When asked if Jesus was
precious, she said "Oyes. HIS ever.
lasting arms are around and under.
meath me-" And again, as her
strength died away she whispered
in the ear OF her sou II shall see
his face in Glory.
Then with heavenly halo rest.
ing upon her features she sweetly
fell asleep.

fierce blaze quickly followed the
deafening explosion and the full ex
tent OF the loss Of life cannot be
definitely known until the great mas!
of wreckage has been cleared away.
The victims, many terribly burned
and bruised, were hurried to the JET
ferson and Pennsylvania Hospitals,
WHINE fremen quickly subdued the
blaze and began the work Of rescue
The disaster occurred in denscly
populated neighborhood, and it is
certain that a number of dead bodies
are buried under the debris The
cries of persons pinned down by the
brick and lumber could be heard in
several directions and the police and
tiremeu worked valiantly on the
wreckage in the hope of saving some
or all OF the unfortunates.
The houses completely wrecked by
the explosion were Nos. 1910, 1912,
lOl4, lOlG and 1913 Locust street.
These houses, together with zoos
Locust street, which was only par.
TALLY wrecked, were located on the
south side Of the street, between
South Alder and South Warnock
street. No. zoos, located at the
southwest corner Of Locust and
South Alder streets, was occupied by

man, his wife and several children
escaped, SO far as known, uninjurcd.
The explosion, which caused such
widespread ruin, is supposed to have
taken place in one OF the three gro
Gerry stores, presumably in McCIem-
my's, which stood In the middle Of
the wrecked block Some on the op-
posite side, however, who were wit.
nesses of the explosion, said that it
came from the restaurant; that the
front of the building was the first to
60 out, followed by burst Of flame.
One of the grocery stores contained a
large tank of gasoline and it is prob.
able that the others also dealt in the
dangerous stuff. The air after the
explosion was subcharged with the
fumes of gasoline, and after the build.
ings had been wrecked there were
several MINOR explosions in the ruins.
Within 20 minutes after the eX-
plosion the large receiving ward in
the jefferson Hospital was crowded
with injured victims, Most of them
were so badly injured that they had
to be taken to the hospital in the am
bulance and patrol wagon from the
Nineteenth district while Others were
assisted there by friends and some
walked in alone. A staff Of ten doc
tors and 80 nurses were in attendance
and everything possible was done to
relieve the sufferers.
A large crowd Of people crowded
the space leading to the hospitals
main entrance on SAMSON street The
attaches Of the hospital held the
crowd back for time bnt finally 1t
was found necessary to summon half
a dozen policemen to restrain the
crowd which clamoredfor news Of in
iured relatives and friends.

At the Lindsay & McCutcheon mill,
Allegheny, everything Is quiet. Not
wheel is turning In the plant. and all
the work that is going on is some re-
pairs. Almost every man who left the
mill at the opening of the strike has
gone to work In independent mills.
A McKeesport despatch says: The
Amalgamated organizers are working
like beavers strengthening their lines
for the coming struggle. Meetings
were held here of both union and
national lodges, which are composed OF
the men in the National Rolling mill
and the Boston Iron and Steel mill.

Tube company. The result was that
279 new members were added and the
control of the rolling mills Is settled.

1t is announced that the Westing.

the Hyde Park plant to open to fill a

1902. About 25O men can find employ.

The strike, though but begun, is al.
ready being felt in Pittsburg. Many
leading business houses have found
business dropping off so as to make
the removal of clerks imperative. One
department store last Saturday laid off
20 girls and at the same time gave
notice that if the strike was not set
tied by next Saturday it likely would
be necessary to lay off more.
Finances also suffered. On two days

the other great interests that are Ileedng the

whisky interest is fullgrown Sampson. 1t is
the common people that are weak, and need

Sampson is no more martyr than the manu-
