NINE ROAST TO DEATH.
Worknen Killed by Explosion in Pitts
burg Blast Furnace.

Workmen Killed by Explosion in Pitts
burg Blast Furnace.
By an explosion of gas in the Soho fur
mace Of Jones & Laughlins, Pittsburg. at
6:2O o'clock Thursday morning, nine men
were burned to death, and five others
badly injured, three of them so badly that
their recovery is unlikely. The bodies of
the victims were terribly mangled and
burned. Five persons employed near tho
furnace are unaccounted for, and 1t IS
not known whether they have perlshed
or not. The damage to the plant VIII
amount to $4,000. The explosion oc-
CURED in one of the big blast furnaces.
The men were at work at the top of the
furnace, over 12O feet from the ground.
They were employed as filters, and were
just getting ready to quit work, when the
gas, which accumulated in the furnace,
exploded, and tons of molten metal, GIN
ders and Stag were thrown over the I'M
fortunate men on the top Of the struc-
ture. When the gas let go a panic en-
sued on the small platform about the top.
The men made a rush for the elevator,
but it had gone down and there was no
escape. The jump meant death, and to
remain on the platform was just as hope
less. The masses of molten metal and
fame fell upon them and burned ten men
to death. Their bodies dropped to the
roof of the mill eightyfve feet below,
every bone broken.

BOILER CAUSES DEATH.

Ten Men Killed and Many Hurt by
Explosion in Pittsburg Steel Mill.
In an explosion at the Black Diamond
steel works in Pittsburg, at least ten
men were killed. The list of dead will be
greatly increased as the wreckage caused
by the explosion is removed and the
bodies recovered. At 40 q. m. one or
the three large boilers on the north side
of the mill next to the Allegheny Valley
Railroad racks blew up, bringing death
and injury to the men employed and COM
pletely wrecking the building with all the
machinery in it. Fire caught and spread
to the building in the rear occupied by
the Mcneil boiler works, which was soon
reduced to ruins. Owing to the breaking
of wires it was some time before an
alarm of fire could be turned in. TeLe-
phone messages brought ambulances and
a large number of men were soon on the
scene beginning the work Of rescue. In
a short time eleven men had been taken
out and sent to the West Penn hospital.
1t was some little time before any dead
were found, and then the bodies were
so badly mutilated as to be unrecognlza-
BILE. One mans head was gone and part
of his legs, only the trunk and arms re-
naming. Pieces Of the boiler were car
ried through the building out on Thrift
eth street by the force of the explosion.
Other pieces went through the roof. The
interior of the building was an inextrica-
BILE mass of broken machinery and de-
bris of all kinds. The structural iron of
the building was broken and twisted, Civ
ing further evidence of the terrific force
of the explosion. Windows in the dwell
ings on the opposite side of the street

FTREIN A MISSOURI HOSPITAL.
Patients at Marysvi11e Are Driven Ont
Into the Frigid Air.

A fire occurred in st: Joseph's hospital
at Marysville, Mo-, cutting one wing of
the building and forcing the removal OF
seventy-fve patients more or less serious
ly i'll out into the frigid air and into the
nearby houses. The thermometer regis
tered Is degrees below zero at the time,
and, though every precaution was taken,
it is feared that the excitement and cold
will prove serious to some of the pa
tents. The fire was the result of de-
fective furnace in what is styled the old
part of the hospital. The heating appara-
tus was inadequate to the demands of the
extremely cold weather, and in trying to
force it, fire of such intensity was made
as to ignite the woodwork around the
hot-air pipes in the basement. Mother
Augustine is in charge of the institution,
and she stated that the damage would
amount to $4,000, fully covered by in

In st. Paul, Mimi, S-year-old Mauie
Peterson, at the risk of her own lie,
saved her sisters home from being de-
stroyed by fire and probably saved the
lives of her three little nieces, aged 6, 4
and years. Maude was left at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Charles Hanley,
to care for the house while Mrs. Hanley
went to do shopping. Two slender lines
hung with clothing suspended over a
lamp on the table caught fire. The flames
mounted to the ceiling. Maude, with
rare presence of mind, climbed on the
table, grabbed the burning mass, and
ran to the door. Fortunately the flames
did not communicate to the little hero
ines clothing When the fremen arrived
the girl had extinguished the flames and
was trying to dispel the fears of the lit
tie ones.
