CAUGHT in FIERY BLAST
EIGHT WORkMEN TERRIBLY
BURNED IN A DUQUESNE FURNACE.
Two So Seriously They Died, and the
Others I'm a Dangerous Condition
disastrous Explosion.

MKEESPORT, Pa, Sept. 27-Eight men,
each with charred faces. burned bodies and
terribly scorched heads were taken to the
McKeesport hospital as the result of an ex-
plosion at Furnace b. of the Carnegie blast
furnace plant. Duquesne, tonight. Two of
the victims have since died and there is
but little hopes that any of the others will
recover.
All OF those injured were caught in the
fiery blast of flames and ashes which fol-
lowed the blowing out of a bell while the
men We're at work. They were sent up to
the dangerous place about an hour before.
Something had gone wrong with the work.
ing of the furnace and these eight were
ordered to make the necessary repairs
The men must have received some warning
OF what was about to take place and, know
ing full well the terrible consequences of
an explosion at that time, took refuge on
the walk surrounding the bell What is
known among the workmen as the bell
is in fact the blast furnace top, and the
workmen are well acquainted with the
dire results which followed the uplifting of
this portion of the furnace.
Workmen in the yard of the Carnegie
works at Duqusne works noticed the eight
men on the furnace top. They were rushing
around the edge and would look over the
sides. excitedly gesticulating to those be-
low. Then gauging the distance from the
top to the yard below they gave up all idea
of making that desperate leap, as it was
sure death. Suddenly the lid or ''bell' of the
furnace was rent from it's attachments and
swung down to the side of the furnace.
A deafening explosion followed and the
furnace flames shot skyward. Flames
roared out of the new made opening as if
caused by a giant bellows. Clouds of gls-
tening red cinders, Jumps of Stag, molten
metal and dust mounted ou. of the opening
The eight workmen made vain efforts to
conceal their bodies under the furnace
walk, and shrek after shrek, came from
the top of the furnace.
Those in the yard were helpless to aid the
men placed in such a horrible position be-
tore their eyes, and they gave up all hope
of ever seeing the eight men alive again.
When the flames had subsided rescuers
made their way to the top of the furnace
where the eight men were found lying
around in all positions and all unconscious.
All of the men are residents of Duquesne
and are Slavs.

1t alone is the party of conservatism: It
and ii alone is the party of moderation. II
and 1t alone for fifty years has dared to
truthfully and fearlessly, with a patient
faith that at the end of the debate ii would
secure the verdict of the peoples conf
dence. Periodically temporary storms of
prejudice have arisen to which the opposi-
ton has always set its sails. But in spite
of them the trade winds blow true: the TO-
cal disturbance subsidies and the great shin
of American destiny sails steadily for
ward.
THE agitation against trusts is as MOTH
ing compared with the passing but furious
excitement for repudiation. The Demo-
cratic party yielded to that. but the Repub-
lcan party steadily fought Ii out and the
people sustained it. The agitation for free
silver and the infiaming assaults upon a ra-
tional money standard is within the MEM
ory OF even the youngest man here. The
Democratic party yielded to that. but the
Republican party steadily fought IL out and
the people approved our course Pod tha
political history of the country and YOU will
find that every few years some agitation
has arisen, based on unreason, growing out
of temporary conditions. and YOU will find
too. that every party and every man who
has yielded TO the temptation to work ad
vantage for the hour alone. regardless of
what is right and just and true has been
defeated. All of them now are merely
curious phases of history.
And. speaking to you, students of nv

all your political future and in Ali vour
efforts in politics all yielding to unsound

pose of robbery. The police also say that
knockout drops were first administered. and
that then the victim was dragged into the
basement and killed with cleaver.
The odor OF burning flesh attracted the
attention Of the occupants Of the upper

led to the discovery by detectives OF the
nude and headless body of a man In the
basement. The charred head was discov-
cred few minutes later In the furnace, in
which fire had just been made. with the
evident intention Of destroying all possi-
bility of identification Of the remains Later

Anthracite Il Selling at $12 a Ton-A
General Advance.

General Advance.
Anthracite coal is now being sold In In
dianapolis at s12 ton, an advance Of near
ly IS over the normal price, and the price
Of bituminous coal was advanced so cents
on the ton by the Indianapolis Coal Ex-
change yesterday. There Is little anthracite
coal on the market, the stock being esti-
mated at 800 to 400 tons, and no more is be-
ing shipped In, so that when the present
supply is exhausted the hard coal question
will be settled until the strike is adjusted.
The price OF bituminous coal has gone up
because OF the heavy demand and a scare
OF a soft coal famine.
The shortage of anthracite coal has
caused many TO lay In big supplies of soft
coal In anticipation OF advanced prices and
this demand has had tendency to Increase
prices. Smokeless coal and Connellsville
coke have advanced 81. and all other BIZ
luminous Goals and coke have advanced 80
cents on the ton with the exception of
Blossburg. but the price OF slack remains
unchanged.
The winter schedule is generally 6xed
Oct. I. but the heavy demand caused prices
ther advances are expected. Prices as they
now stand. with the exception of anthracite
coal. are about so cents higher on the ton
than the winter schedules OF last year. The
new schedule OF prices Is as follows: Rloss-
burg. IS: smokeless. IS; Jackson, IS; Kama
wha, si.75: Pittsburg, A.75; Raymond 81 75.
Winifrede, s+75; Luhrig. 81. 80; Hooking Val.

Smokeless, 81. Slack: Jackson, S275: Pitts
burg, S2.75: West Virginia, s2.75; Indiana
s225. Coke: connellsville coke. 50; lump
coke, Is cents bushel; 1915 for 25 bushels:
crushed coke. l6 cents bushel; 81 for Is
