KILLED, PITTSBU RG EXPLOSION
Caught I'm Flood Of Melted Iron on Plat
form 40 Feet From the Ground.

PITrsBuRo, Pa, Dec. 19.-By an ex-
plosion of molten metal a little after o'clock
this morning at the Soho blast furnace
of the Jones 4 Laughlin Company .on SEQ
ond avenue, near Brady street, nine men
were killed and five injured
The identified dead are: Joseph Franko-
witch, Joseph Sesul, Andrew Sues. Michael
Mezo, John Koekanko, George Sarenko.
John Yentz, John Sabo and George Well
tezo are mortally injured
II is estimated that $4,000 damage was
done to the plant Of the Jones Laughlin
Company.
The victims OF the accident we're en-
ployed as filters on top of the furnace, l2O
feet above ground, and being members
Of the night shift. were preparing 70 quit
work when the explosion occurred. Five
minutes later they would have been on the
ground and out of danger. When the explo-
sion came there was no escape for them, and
they were buried in the mass Of molten
metal
The men were caught on a small platform
about the top OF the furnace. Those VINO
were not caught at once by the mass of
metal and Stag made a rush for the elevator
but il had gone down and there was no
escape. The only thing that they seemed
to try to do was TO spring over the edge
OF the iron railing and try to shield them
selves from the fury of the flames, holding
on 10 the railing. There the crew hung
until the tons OF molten metal fell upon
them and burned them until they were
unconscious They then dropped to the
roof of the mill below a distance of eighty
FIVE feet, every bone being broken.

Help kept pouring in yesterday on the

The principal contributor yesterday was

. One Of the sources from which promise
OF assistance has come Is the Association

that Mrs. Learned applied to the associa-

husband was very i'll, and that the Charity
Organization Society helped the family

the last two days showed that the family
had been making a plucky fight against
poverty. Mr.. Tucker said his association
would keep track of the case as the family
was in every way worthy of assistance.
Mrs. Learned is going to move in a day

WITH POLICE COURT ENDING.
Drunken Sailors ON British steamer Tom
erie Attack Officcr With Bar and
Sled Eehammer r-Captsin's Cutlass Set
ties II After Some Lively Work.

Peter McColar and Robert Bowick,
sailors on the British steamer, Tonerie,
lying at the Havemeyer refinery at the
foot Of South Fourth street, Williamsburg,
made an attempt yesterday morning TO
kill the captain, Frank Major, and the first
and second officers, John Yell and George

unruly that Capt. Major put them in irons.
Near Sandy Hook the men said they were
sorry and they were set free on their promise
to behave. The steamer was docked at
the Williamsburg refinery on Tuesday.
The sailors had shore leave on Wednes-
day afternoon. McCollar and Bowick
didn't return to the ship until 2 o'clock
yesterday morning. They were drunk
and went to the fo'cas,le where it is said
they tried TO incite the rest Of the crew

were making threats the captain and two
officers appeared. They handcuffed the
mutinous seamen and pun both in the cooks
galley.
Four hours later McCollar and Bowick
freed themselves. NcCollar armed him
self with an iron bar and the other with

him with blow on the head. Meanwhile

CITY RECORD BOOKS SEIZED.
Comptroller Carts Them on to Investigate
at Leisure.

Comptroller Coler is trying to find out
just exactly what has been going on in the
last four years In the Office Of the CITY
Record and yesterday he did a thing that
Ia seldom done, even when an investigation
into the affairs Of department is going
on-he sent q truck and two Of his assistants
to the Office OF the Record in the City Hall
and had his men gather up all the accounts
documents, books and papers of the bureau
and take them over TO, the office of the
Finance Department. where they are being
examined by the experts OF the Department,
These experts are Mr.. Hervey, who is
the confidential man OF the Comptroller
himself, his assistant Mr.. Mccormick,
and Mr.. Monro, one OF the examiners OF
Chief Auditor Mckinney. They are going
to find out all that they can about the way
that the records OF the bureau have been
kept and the reasons the managers OF IL
have had for giving out their contracts
in such a way that almost all of the men
who wanted To compete for a part OF the
city work have been debarred.
II will be remembered that since public
attention was directed to the manner in
which this bureau has been carried on under
Mayor Van Wyck, contracts for work OF
various kinds have been advertised and the
bids have been opened; but, although some
of the bids were made by men who have
had no connection with the City Record
gang In tho past, none Of the contracts
has been let. The Comptroller has not
allowed IL pending the investigation Now
he has learned enough of the methods
that have prevailed in the office of the
Record to make him think that his investi-
cation ought to be more thorough.
Until this investigation has been finished
there will be no award Of the contracts
It "a thought, however, that some arrange
ment may be made by which the contract
for printing the City Record may be dis
posed Of so that there shall be no trouble
about getting out the first numbers at the
beginning of the new year.
