Collision on the Southern Pacific Kills
Three and Injuries Twenty-Five.
San Francisco. Dec. 21.-North and
southbound Southern Pacific coast
limited trains, running between this
city and Los Angeles, came together
In a head-on collision at Uplands early
in the morning. A fireman, express
messenger and baggageman were
killed and rs passengers more or less
injured.
Both engines were demolished and
the baggage, smoking and chair cars
OF the northbound train burned None
OF the passengers or cars of the south
bound train were injured. The only
passengers hurt were those in the
smoking and day coaches of the north
bound train. In the smoker were half
dozen Italian laborers. Four of
them were badly bruised and scalded
by escaping steam.
The accident was due, the railway
officials say, to the failure of Engineer
COREY OF the northbound train to fol-
low out mis- orders, which instructed
him to wait az siding at Uplands
until the southbound passed. Instead
OF waiting the train passed the siding
at the rate Of 80 miles an hour. Hall
mile beyond it ran into the south
bound. which was coming at an equal
rate Of speed. Just as the engines
came together the crews jumped for
their lives, all escaping except Fire
man Garland. Just as he was about
to leap the locomotive overturned and
he was caught beneath it. The eng-
neers Of Doth trains before jumping
reversed their engines and set the
brakes. In the fire which resulted
part of the mail and a number of ex.
press packages were burned.

made for the consideration of the Mic
aragua canal bill, beginning on Tues

bill is disposed of, the order not, how

garding reports circulated in his dis
trict concerning his course in the mat
ter Of the extension of the rural free

MET AWFUL DEATH
TEN MEN cREMATED By A GAS
EXPLOSION IN A FURNACE Z
At PlTTseURG.
Burning Heaps Of Cinders Settle
Around the Men-Thejr Shrieks Are
Terrible and Their Frantic Efforts
to Save Themselves PitifuI in the
Extreme-No One Can Be Blamed
for the Accident,

PlttSburg, Dec. 2l.-Ten men were
burned to death and four injured by
an explosion of gas at the Soho fur
mace of Jones & Laughlin. limited, in
Second avenue, near Brady street.
The explosion was caused by a slip
in the gas furnace, the gas and flames
belching upwards through the bell.
The men were on the furnace plat
form, IS feet above the ground.
There We're 10 men on the furnace
when the explosion occurred. Fifteen
of them were caught in the flames,
Two of them escaped with slight in.
juries. The other four were the reg
ular men employed as top filters and
escaped without injury.
The explosion was caused by the
gas becoming ehcased in a crust of
cinder forming at the bottom Of the
furnace. A wheelbarrow containing
ore had been sent up to the men and
when they went to dump it into the
bell of the furnace they pushed it over
too far and it rolled into the hopper.
The barrow weighed 900 pounds and
was too much for the four men to
raise. The Is laborers, all Bulgarians,
were then sent up to assist them. Had
It not been for the barrow accident
mo one would have been hurt, as the
Irregular men know how to protect
themselves at such times, as similar
explosions are of frequent occurrence.
The residents Of Second avenue who
saw the accident say it was too horri-
BILE to describe. When the explosion
occurred burning heaps of cinders SET
tied around the men almost knee deep.
Their shrieks were terrible and their
frantic efforts to save themselves were
pitiful in the extreme.
No One Can Be Blamed.
General Manager J. B. Laughlin said
that the accident was one of the most
disastrous that had ever occurred in
the history of the company.
"The men seemed doomed to that
awful end" he said. They had just
started to get the barrow out when
the explosion took place. In another
minute they would have been away
from the place. The nature of the ex-
plosion is easily explained. Among
furnace men it is known as a slip
BY this we mean that the gas becomes
encased by the cinders and coke be-
coming gummed, forming a crust in
the furnace. The gas accumulates and
then the pressure becomes so great
that it forces itself through the crust.
The top filters know when this is ex.
pected. They are instructed to take
the elevator and to go to the ground.
The top filters heard the explosion
and told the men to come away.
suppose they had taken hold of the
ore barrow and did not hear them.
The blast Of flame shot up and they
were killed and the others became SO
confused by their burning clothes and
the smoke that they did not realize
how to save themselves. These men
were never on the platform before
No one can be blamed for the acct
dent. All the men could have escaped
If they had listened to the top filters
