rife boiler explosion at the old boiler
house at the Carnegie furnaces of the
Carnegie Steel company, just below

and the machine shops which adjoin it
were reduced to mass of wreckage
and many workmen in and about the
two buildings were hnrt by the flying
missiles.
Four injured men had been taken out
at o'clock and by that time all of the
force at the furnaces who could be
spared have been put TO work clearing
away the debris in the search for bodies
All was confusion and even the foreman
had no idea how many of the workmen
| had been caught in the wreckage. The
| injured men who have been removed
were at work on the furnace some dis
lance away at the time Of the explosion
and were struck by flying wreckage.
| They will probably recover. They are:
Michael McAllister, aged 10, of Swiss
| vale, employed at the hot blast furnace,
right leg broken and cut about head and
body.
Unknown Hungarian, workmen at
furnace, crushed about the body.
Unknown furnaceman, hurt about
the body.
Herman Elby, 40 years old, machin.
ist, struck by portion of the steel beam
and removed to Emergency hospital
| Injuries not serious.
No explanation could be given for the
| accident early this morning. Special
| policemen surrounded the scene to kef
back the crowds of anxious friends al
relatives of the workmen known to have
been employed at the furnaces. The
rescuers worked franticalIy in the hot,
steaming wreckage. Fortunately there
was no fire and rapid progress was made
| in the rescue work.

MISS STONE THOUGHT
TO Be ALIVE AND SAFE
So Writes a Correspondent
From Sofia.
DICKINSON INTERVIEWED

He Says He Has Positive Proof That
Some of the Members of the Macedo-
nian Committee Were In Conspiracy
to Kidnap Missionary.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The fact that
the brigands who kidnapped Miss Stone
have permitted communication to be es-
tablished is taken to mean that Miss
Stone is still alive and safe from harm
at present at least, says the Sofia, Bull
garia, correspondent of The World. O..

envoy of the United States in Bulgaria,
as well as consul general at Constan.

81 still think that the Bulgarian gov
eminent will bring pressure enough to
bear on the Macedonian committee and
through it on the brigands to release
their captives. Some members Of the
committee were arrested by the Bulga-
rlan government, but they were released
IN few days.

government relaxes it's pressure ON the
committee nothing will be left but to
pay the ransom in order to secure the
safety of Miss Stone and her compan.
ion, Mrs. Tsilka, and then not endahger
the lives of the American missionaries
In the country or travelling through it.
81 have absolute proof of the con-
spiracy in the crime of some of the
members of the Macedonian committee.
The brIgands who attacked Miss Stones
party were disguised in Turkish fez and
cloak. But two Of them threw back
their cloaks during the attack, thus re-
veahng the uniform of the Macedonian
committee. They were recognized, too,
as Bulgarians. Moreover, they spoke
poor Turkish but good Bulgarian and
ate ham and bacon.
"Ihe leading members of the Bulgarian
government believe that the brigands
are willing to surrender TO the Bull
garian troops and in that case there
would be no danger to the captives, but
if they should be captured by Turkish
troops the brigands would fight to the
last and then kill the caprives. The
Turkish troops are under orders not to
attack the brigands, even ii they are
fred upon. ="
