ed, Many of Latter Badly Injured.
The explosion of a large boiler in
scrap puddle furnace No. 3, at the
west works of the American Iron and
Steel Manufacturing company's plant
late Wednesday afternoon caused the
death of four workmen and about 40
others were more less seriously in
jured.
The calamity 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 dealing debris. The
wreck and the ruin Of the nine pud'
die furnaces was complete.
Thousands Of persons were attracted
to the scene and weeping women and
children crowded about the place max,
ing 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
were called from every quarter of the
city and the hospital ambulances and
other vehicles were hurried into serV,
ice. The offices of the works were at
once converted into a hospital and
corps of nurses from the Good Samar'
itan hospital were brought to the
place. Into this temporary hospital
the manned and scalded workmer
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. Wo,
men and children thronged the en-
trance to the works crying and beg
ging to be allowed inside.

AS TO APPOINTMENTS.

He has been giving the matter of
his military staff some attention and
has his eye on those whom he wishes
to make a part Of his official family.
These appointments are OF such a
character as to exclude them from the
list which is usually applied for, as it
rarely occurs that personal application
is made for a staff appointment, it
being generally accepted that the
Governor should be hands free in Sc
lecting those who are to become his
body guard. Even the selection OF
those who are a source Of much
thought and care has to be exercised
so that all sections are recognized and
given representation as far as practi-
cable, and thus it is that frequently
the best of friends have to be over
looked in order to make place for an
other because of the locality he halls
from. It is safe to say that the per-
sonnel Of Gov. Heyward'S staff will be
exceptionally fine, and be representa-
tive Of the best and brightest of the
young manhood of the State.
He has been deluged with applica-
tions for almost every appointive Of
fee in the State, but beyond selecting
his private secretary in the person Of
Mr.. J. E. Norment, which he is graft
fed to know was so satisfactorily re-
ceived, he has abstained from giving
such applications any very serious con-
sideration. Very few of these posi-
tions can be filed until some time af-
ter his Inauguration, and probably
many of them not until after the ad-
journment Of the Legislature, and
therefore there is no necessity for his
time and attention to be devoted to
their consideration at this juncture,
when so many more pressing and i'm
portant matters are under conSidera-
tion. The many applications, there
fore, are simply, being acknowledged
and filed away for future reference.
The Inauguration date has not been
definitely determined upon, although
it is propahle that the usual precedent
will be followed and the momeDtous
event occur the second week OF the
legislative session. The Governor is
now giving some thought to his inau-
gural message, in order that the con-
sideration Of that important document
may be disposed Of.

A CALL FOR ROOSEVELT.

At the conclusion OF Mr.. Cleveland's
address Morris X. Jesup, president of
the chamber, announced that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, although reserving his
address for the banquet this evening,
had consented to say few words. AS
President Roosevelt stepped forward
to address the chamber the whole as
semblage rose and cheered. He spoke
as follows:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: AS
l am to speak to you this evening, l
shall now simply say a work OF greet
ing to you and to your guests. l have
been asked here as the chief executive
Of the nation. and SO | can speak not
merely on your behalf but on behalf Of
our people as a whole in greeting and
thanking for their presence here these
representatives OF foreign countries
who have done US the honor and pleas
ure of being present today. Cap

ing to Mr.. Cambon,) whose approach
ing departure we so sincerely regret,
the ambassador to whom, on his ad-
vent we extended such hearty greet
ing. and especially representatives of
those great friendly civilized nations
with whom we intend to be knit even
closer by ties of commercial and social
good will in the future. turning to
the Russian and British ambasSa doris
and Prince Henry Won Plcaa.)
And now gentlemen, having greet
ed your guests on behalf of you. l
greet you in the name OF the people,
not merely because you stand for COM
mercial success but because this body
has been able to show that the great
est commercial success can square with
the immutable and eternal laws OF
decent and right living and OF fair
dealing between man and man.
The demonstration as the president
concluded ended with three cheers.
Mayor Low made the concluding
address and the ceremonies closed
with benediction by the Rev. Nor

THE DISPENSAEN LAW.

The enforcement Of the diSkenSary
law has been the subject Of much con-
siGeration BY the Governor-elect. and
he is hopeful that under his adminiS-
tration much OF the friction which
has existed in the past may be OBJ
liberated. The law is on the statute
book and 15 per cent Of the people OF
the State are advocates of it, and as
law-abiding citizens those opposed to
it should abide by the law and support
it. He is not unmindful Of the hard
ships which confront him in the dis
charge Of his duty in regard to this
law in certain localities. and he can
only depend on the public spirit Of the
people to sustain him in his efforts
not to have the law wantUnly violated.
He believes that the wishes OF a
community should be recognized, but
he has not power to exempt any COM
munity or section OF the State from
the operation Of the law, and under
his oath Of office he will have to carry
out the law without favor to all parts
and portions Of the State. He does
not expect 10 be able to absolutely
prohibit the Illicit selling OF liquors
in the larger cities it will be almost
impossible to do so-but he IS deter
mined that there shall be L respect
shown to the law and that gross and
flagrant violations shall be unknown,
and if the law is violated it will be
done in so S,lrreptitiOuS Il manner as
to e!ude the vigilance Of the city police
and State cOnSta5leS. and can not.
therefore, be offensive to the God
fearing and law-abiding people OF our
State and be 4 menace to the growing
youth of our cities, wio. by seeing
laws openly violated. simply because
they are diStasteful, will soon learn TO
hold our whole system Of government
in contempt.
lie did not anticipate serious
trouble along that line. as the law IS
not now as Objectionable as it had
been. and there is stronger feeling
prevalent to give the law fair trial
which in some places it has never had.
and besides. the public in general are
not unmindful Of the serious results
Of wilfully trampling law in the
dust, just because it was Objectionable.
The factional feeling having subsidized,
the patriotism OF the people is assert
ing itself. and the blind tigers will be
made to go way back and sit down. 1t
is evident that the Governor-elect is
determined to select as his conStableS
good and true men who can be relied
on to see that the law is respected,
but to do so in such manner as not
to arouse any unnecessary friction or
to occasion bitter feeling.
He believes that much can be eff
fected through the medium Of local
authorities and is going to exert him.
self to that end. He believes that the
justice of the position which he takes
will be appreciated by those to whom
the law may be personally offensive,
and that they will he among bis warm
est advocates in maintaining the law
and keeping true to his oath Of Office
and campaign pledges. He will be
disappointed if his expectations along
this line are not realized.

THE RAIN
 DESCENDED
AND THE CANYONS WERE FILLED
 TO THE LIMIT
No Serious Damage was Done But Several Houses Had a Narrow Escape

The greatest rain of the season wis ited Bisbee yesterday. The town was flooded in a half hour after the rain began and every street was thorough ly drenched. The rain began at 1 o'clock and continued necessarily through the afternoon.
 When the passenger train pulled in at o'clock the rain was falling in torrents and in ten minutes the rail road tracks around the depot and the depot platform was covered with wa ter. The passengers remained in the coaches for nearly if not quite half hour and the reception room was crowded, waiting for the rain to sub- side. Conductor Brown carried the lady passengers from the car steps to the platform over a stream of water that was running by the tracks.
 The biggest flood of the season came dashing down Brewery Gulch on both sides of the post office, continu- ing for the greater part of the after. noon. All kinds of debris came down this street which was well cleaned later. A wagon box came down in the torrent; following this came a tel escope grip and straw hat or two.
 U. Medigovich and Mobile had their big cellar filled: he basement under the Opera Cafe was filled. and others were more or less affected. The four room house of Metonovich located on Clawson hill had a narrow escape and was nearly washed down the hill. The retaining wall was washed out and the render pinnings of the house were twisted so badly that a slight jar would have pitched the house into the gulch just below. There was a small cabin at the upper end of Brew cry Gulch washed of its foundation but was readily pushed back to it's original place.
 The water came down Tombstone canyon in big rivers and washed out great holes in the gulsh. The road at the flood gate was considerably damaged and necessitated a great amount of work to place it in order for travel.
 H. B. Mccoy, who lives on Chihua hua hill, also had his house flooded.

New Prison Superintendent

Today Governor Brodie settled the controversy over the superintendency of the prison at Yuma. He appointed William Griffith as superintendent, to take effect September 1st. It is i'm possible to learn anything more at present officially. but it can be stated with some degree of certainty that MT. Walter Gregory will be appointed by the board of control as secretary of the prison, and some Yuma man will get the position of assistant superin- tendent-
 The superintendency of this prison gets $3.000 per annum, the assistant S1. 800 and the secretary $1 1.500.
 It is not likely that any changes will take place in the guards. Governor Brodie has sent three guards there since his inauguration, and is satis- fed with the force.
 Anent the position of assistant su- peTintdendent. it is well to say that Governor Brodie offered this place to Mir. Daniels, but the offer was de clined.-Enterprise.

STAGE HELD UP

Passengers were Robbed En Route to
 Washington camp-Posse in Pur-
 suit
 (Tombstone Prospector.)
 As the stage bound for Washington camp, the mining camp in Santa Cruz county, was approaching its destina- tion on Monday it was held up and robbed by a lone highwayman in the most approved up-to-date fashion. The passengers were lined up on the outside of the coach and forced at the point of gun to disgorge their money and valuables. He was a gentlemanly scoundrel; deploring the passengers lack of money. IL seems that there are two stages on that route and that one of them carries express and mail matter exclusively, and the other pas sengers. The robber evidently intend ed to hold up the former. but made a mistake in the time of its arrival. He secured a very small amount, just how much cannot be stated at this time as our information was very meagre.
 The sheriff of Santa Cruz county immediately organized a posse and started in pursuit. The passengers could aid the sheriff but very little for as soon as the robber finished his work he ordered the driver to go ahead and for not one of them to look back on the pain of instant death. So all the information they could give was a description of the robber. Early this morning a telegram was received at the sheriff's office here 1 from the sheriff of Santa Cruz to ar rest a man by the name of Whipple on the charge of highway robbery and the impression is prevalent here that | he is the man wanted for roDbirs the Washington stage.
