In addition to these a dozen or
more of the employees who suffered
comparatively slight injuries were
taken directly to their homes.
Twenty-Five men and boys have not
as yet been located either at their
homes or at the hospitals. The ten
unidentified bodies account for ten
of these, and the officers of the COM
pany say they feel positive that the
major portion of the remaining Is
are, by night, at their homes.
Tonight a great force of men is
searching the ruins by electric light,
and the work will not be stopped un-
til every foot of the debris has been
examined.
The dreadful crash came without
the slightest warning. Those in the
front building said it seemed like the
concussion of an immense cannon.
The floors and roof of the rear build
ing bulgcd upward and then crashed
down with their heavy loads of ma
chinery and foundry apparatus.
Windows in houses for block
around were broken by the concus-
sion and flying bricks filed the neigh
boring yards. A dense cloud of dust
arose, and as it settled and was sue
ceeded by denser clouds of smoke
and steam, agonized cries began to
come from the heap of tangled wood,
metal and bricks. Those who were
only partly buried frantically dug
themselves out, and then as enlrget-
ically turned 20 digging for their
comrades who were buried deeper.
Flames broke out almost Immediately,
and the horror of fire was added to
the sufferings of the imprisoned ones.
.. Almost Immediately after the fire
alarm -ivas- turned in. calls were sent
out for all the ambulances In the
city, and they were hurried to the
scene. Pending their arrival, neigh
boring houses were turned into tenn
porary hospitals, and those physicians
who were in the vicinity eased the
suffering ones as much as they were
able
The property loss. according to Sec
retary George w. Lhilds, is about
$1s0,0O0. The firm carried $4,000 fire
and some boiler insurance, but how
much of the later Secretary Childs
could not state.
Subscriptions for the relief of the
sufferers have been started.
Nothing is known as yet about the
cause of the explosion. The boilers
had been recently inspected and the
engineer was known as a careful
and capable man.

All Land Proofs Suspended.

On account of timber land frauds
discovered in Montana and Idaho,
Commissioner Herman of the General
Land ofhce. has suspended all proofs
made during the present year under
the timber and stone act, pending con-
clusion of the full investigation and
inquiry begun some time ago.
This action applies to all states
where government timber land is pur
chased, and involves many thousands
of cases. Many large companies and
spectators. it is alleged have had
dummies as agents make purchases
of these lands from the government.
Commissioner Hermann says:
lowing to the last act of Congress
permitting selections of valuable tim
her lands as indemnity for lands held
by individuals and corporations within
forest reserves. n speculation in social
ed forest reserve scrip has developed.
This is means by which the owner
of such lands within forest reserves
may relinquish them to- the govern
meut and in lieu thereof. take unap-
propriated lands out of the public do
main. or may convey his holdings to
another person seeking to exercise the
right of selection. This provision has
produced great rivalry among specu-
lHl'IS anu
in the requirement of large tracts of
timber lands. This has induced many
others who are not owners of such
scrip or eXchangcabe lands inside for
est reserves to avail themselves of an
earlier act of Congress. approved June
2. 1873. the timber and stone act
This act limits each purchaser to 1G0
acrcs and expressly requires appli-
cants 10 swear that the purchase is not
speculative. but is made in good faith
for his exclusive Use. and that he has
made no agreement whatsoever with
any person for the transfer of his title.
For many years. particularly the past,
wear this law has been grossly violated
and abused by. persons who perjure
themselves before the local land offices.
The General land office has directed its
sppcial agents to report on any fur
thcr cases that may be discovered, and
all land offices have been warned 10
exercise the utmost strictness in the
examination of parties and witnesses.
Many Of the fraudulent proofs might
have been detected at the time had the
registrars and receivers M the local
land offices strictly applied the rules
for scrutiny Of proofs of applicants.
After such proofs have passed the local
officers. showing regularity and appar
cnt good faith of entries. it is impossi-
bic for the authorities here to detect
error or fraud"
