Explosion In Puddle Furnace scatters
Death.
Lebanon, Pa, Nov. 14.-The explo-
sion of a large boiler in scrap puddle
furnace No. 8, at the west works of
the American Iron and Steel Manufact-
uring company's plant late yesterday
afternoon caused the death of four
workmen and about forty others were
more or less seriously injured. The
dead are:
Jacob Bricker, aged 67 years, OF
Sunnyside, a laborer, leaves a wife
and six children.
Walker Turner, of this city, a pud-
dler; leaves a wife and one child.
James Hissinger of this city, pud-
dler; leaves a wife and four children.
William Oakes, puddler, died at hos
pital.
The calimity is the worst that ever
occurred in Lebanon. The boiler ex-
ploded without warning, and in an in
slant the entire place was black with
death-dealing debris. The wreck and
the ruin of the nine pudding furnaces
was complete.
1t is feared that the list of the dead
will be materially increased when the
ruins of the nine wrecked puddle fur
naces are explored. The exploded
boiler was hurled high in the air, and
passed over the Offices, burying Itself
In the south bank of Quittaphilla
creek several hundred yards away.

sTRoMBoLI IN ERUPTIoR.
Red Hot Rocks and Lava Spout From
Crater.

Rome, Nov. 15.-The volcano on
Strombol island (off the north coast
of Sicily has commenced a terrific
eruption. A colossal column of fire
is rising, and incandescent stones are
being emitted from the craters. Many
houses on the island have been de-
stroyed.
This volcano has been in sporadic
eruption for several months and has
caused considerable loss of life and
property before the present outbreak.
Recently one Of the volcanoes erup-
tfons was followed by a fierce storm
and a tidal wave which devastated the
coast Of Sicily, and also found victims
miles inland. 1t was estimated at the
time that close to 1000 persons per-
ished, though it was not possible to
determine the number of dead accu.
rately, as many Of the corpses were
carried out to sea when the tidal wave
receded.,
The inhabitants Of Sicily and of
other islands contiguous to Stromboli
are viewing the present eruption with
the greatest alarm, as they fear anoth.

Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah Ga.
DEAR S1R:-Some years ago l operated float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
Influences [ employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss Of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
Ny attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and [ determined to give the
medicine trial. I procured it, and those who
were sick we're put on this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

Columbia, No, Nov. 14.-Colonel

BIG GAME SCAT7TTERS
BEFORE PRESIDENT 7
Equipped as Nimrod Teddie
Takes the Chase.
IDEAL HUNTING CONDITIONS.

lntruders Will Not BE Allowed TO IN
terfere With Presidents Sport, EV.
cry Precaution Having Been Taken
to Keep Them Away.
Smedes, Miss, Nov. 14.-The condL
tions were ideal for the presidents
hunt for bear this morning. The sky
was overcast with clouds at daybreak,
few drops of rain fell, but the clouds
melted away and the sun came back.
The air Is soft and balmy, and old
hunters thereabouts say the dogs
could work without distress.
About midnight Bill" Ennolds ar
rived here from the swamp country
along the Mississippi river with six
bear dogs, and Mr.. Mangum, despite
his illness, started with them for
camp before daylight. Mr.. Mangums
only anxiety when he left here was
that the president might have started
before he could get to camp. The ar
arrangements last night were that the
president should start at the first peep
of day, and although no word has come
from the camp this morning, it Is pre-
sumed that he was off on schedule
time, the president with Hugh Foote,
planter. and Moke Collier to follow.
The other members of the party were
stationed by the guides at the cross
ings.
Newspaper Men Barred.
A number of newspaper men and
photographers reached here last night
and tried every expedient TO reach the
camp, but their plead1ngs were in vain.
The negroes of the plantation who
knew the trail had strict orders not
to take any outsiders in, and the or
ders were obeyed Some of them
wanted to make an effort without
guides, but they were warned that If
they did not get lost In the dense for
est they would be stopped by guards
along the trail. Several Of them left
in the hope Of being able to penetrate
the presidents retreat from another
direction. Everything possible is be-
ing done here to prevent intruders
from interfering with the presidents s
sport.
A Photographers Trick.
One enterprising photographer, find
ing that he could not secure a photo
graph of the president, induced a man
who bore a slight resemblance to the
president to pose on horseback in a
cotton field and went away measured
| bly, satisfied that the counterfeit would
pass for the original. There is a re-
port here that Bob Bobbe has agreed
to bring his big bear houndpack of is
hounds here and will arrive during the
day.
A messenger arrived from camp at
II o'clock with the news that the
president and his guides started at
daybreak this morning, and almost
Immediately struck the trail Of three
bears. The tracks were fresh, and the
guides felt certain that the president
would kill bear before he returned
to camp tonight. The president had
gone before Mr.. Mangum arrived and
the six dogs brought by the latter will
be held in reserve for tomorrow All
the dogs in the original packs re-
turned 10 camp last night. The mes
senger reported that the president and
his party were well pleased with the
arrangement at the camp. The presi-
dent was especially gratified to find
that the camping outfit was of the
simplest character.
