WILL IT PROVE HANNAs GAIN?
A Buncombe Republican Thinks This Will
Follow FloutiDg of Prltchard.
Especial to News and Observer.)


Ashevlle, n. c., Nov. 13.-The breach
between the President and Pritchard is
causing much discussion among Repub-
licans in this part of the State. Though
many of his party seem to have been
waiting for an opportunity to get even"
with Pritchard, general feeling among the
Republicans is that the President was
too hard On him. Two weeks ago
Linney made a speech from Pritchard's s
law office porch, in which he placed
Hanna in nomination for the Presidency.
Since that time the movement has been
growing among Republicans here.
In the light of present circumstances
many Republicans think there is one
road for them to follow, and that leads
in the direction of Hanna or whoever
may oppose Roosevelt in the national
convention. A prominent Republican to-
day said: at would be the most natural
thing in the world for Senator Pritchard
himself to get on Hannas band wagon.
From all indications the differences be-
tween Pritchard and the administration
are desirable and one must take into
consideration a mans antecedents and
past environment when figuring on his
probable future actions. Hanna has al
ways stood by Pritchard."

THE AIR GREW BLACK

And Hummed With Rush of
Iron ProjectiIes.
-Four Men are Killed and Forty Injured by the
Explosion Of Large
Boiler.
(By the Associated Press.)

Lebanon, Pa, Nov. 13.-The explosion
of a large boiler in Scrap Puddle Fur
mace, No. 8, at the West Works of the
American Iron and Steel Manufacture.
ing Companys plant late this afternoon,
caused the death of four workmen and
about forty others were more or less
seriously injured.
The dead are:
JACOB BRICKERs aged 67 years, of
Sunny Side, laborer; leaves a wife and
six children.
WALTER TURNER. of this city, a
puddler; leaves a wife and one child.
JAMES HISSINGER, of this city a
puddler; leaves a wife and four children.
JACOB NINE, died on the way to the
hospital.
The calamity is the worst that ever
occurred in Lebanon The boiler eX-
ploded without warning, and in an in
stand the entire place was black with
death-dealing debris. The wreck and
ruin of the nine puddle furnaces was
complete. Many We're attracted to the
scene and weeping women and children
crowded about the place making frantic
efforts to obtain tidings of their loved
ones. The excitement was so intense,
however, that considerable time elapsed
before any information could be given
them. Physicians We're called from every
quarter of the city and the hospital
ambulances and other vehicles were hur-
ried into service. The offices of the
works were at once converted into
hospital and a corps of nurses from the
Good Samaritan Hospital were brought
to the place. Into this temporary hos
pital the manned and scalded woTkmen
were carried and given attention. Some
have their eyes burned out, others their
/ hands blown off. 1t is impossible to
learn the names of the injured. Many
OF them, it is believed, cannot live
through the night Women and children
thronged the entrance to the work cry,
ing and begging to be allowed inside.
1t is feared the list of dead will be
materially increased when the ruins of
the nine wrecked puddle furnaces are
explored The exploded boiler was
hurled high into the air and passed over
the offices, burying itself in the south
bank of Quittapahilla creek, several
hundred yards away. No information
could be secured at the temporary hos
pital at the works. The plant has been
closed, as the workmen arc reoying the
debris.

quence of the recent eruption. The
adjacent villages, the rich coffee plan
tations, with over $4,000 worth of
coffee stored in bags, and hundreds of
lives, were lost. Refugees are arriving

fugitiyes sailed for San Jose de Guate-.
mala on the Pacific Mail steamer.
The exchange is rising by leaps. and
now stands at 1000 per cent, without

Halla, native of Pluma de Hidalgo,
Guatemala, who is the owner of cof-

letter from his brother, who owns a
coffee plantation in Guatemala, 600
miles from the craters of Santa Maria
In it he describes the phenomena at
tending the eruption of the volcano as
seen at that distance. Cinders. after
passing over the intervening range of
mountains from $500 to 1000 feet high,
fell till the entire surface OF the coun-
try was covered to depth of three
inches. The cinder storm lasted day
and night. The sun was completely
obscured, and objects could not be
discerned at a distance of a few rods.
The Indians employed on the Halla
plantation thought that the end of the
world had come. The atmosphere was
exceedingly chilly, and the storm
spread terror in its wake.

The loss of life is estimated at over
1000, most of the victims being Indi-
ans. Ten Indian villages, each with a
population of from so to 500, were WHIP
ed out, the huts being buried beneath
tons of volcanic debris.
All Of the coffee plantations in the
volcanic zone are ruined and their
owners left penniless. The government
has been making most strenuous efforts
to conceal the facts, but they are grad
