HOSIERY MILL BLOWN
UP WITH FATAL RESULTS
Boiler Explosion at Beverly,
N. J., Wrecks Plant and
Kills Watchman

Beverly, N. j., Oct 6.-The large
boiler in tho hosiery mill of Turner
Birkhead, OF this city, exploded with
q fearful crash that Jared Beverly,
wrecked tho engine room and two
thirds Of tho main building and in
stantly killed Alfred StuclSy, the watch
man. The building Immediately be-
came enveloped in flames, and damage
to the extent of $4,000 was done before
the fire was gotten under control. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.
The crash of the exploding boiler
was heard and felt within a radius OF
five miles. and fearful of an earth
quake people rushed to their doors.
In this city the buildings shook, glass
and dishes ratified, and Il was not until
a bright flame shot up in the west that
those who were awakened by the
shock realized the situation.
The city fire department soon had a
plug stream on the burning structure,
and after an hours work the flames
we're subdued. Meanwhile the body Of
Stuclky. which had been blown several
feet from the building by the force OF
the explosion, was removed to has
home. The body was badly torn, the
clothing rent into shreds, and death
must have come quickly.
What caused the explosion is not
known, since the boiler was recently
inspected and pronounced in good con-
dition. bat it is presumed that Stucky,
who was an old man, turned cold water
on the hot crown head without look
ing at the glass, with the inevitable

BRITISH CABINET
NOW COMPLETE
Alfred Littleton Succeeds
Lord Chamberlain AS Co.
lonial Secretary
DUKE OF DEVONSaIRE RESIGNS

London. Oct 6.-The three weeks
cabinet crisis has ended in manner
more remarkable and dramatic than
that Of its inception Mr. Balfour's S
new ministry affords a measure Of the
enormous difficulty he has had TO con-
tend with in the task OF reconstrue'
tion, and its composition seems to In
dicate that the premier himself can
have little belief Of It's durability. The
most sanguine supporters Of the gov
ernment express the smallest hopes
Of such an administration living many
months, and the prevalent idea is that
there will be a general election before
parliament reassembles.
The Duke Of Devonshire, who was
leader of the Conservative party In
the house Of lords. It was announced,
has resigned the Office of lord presi'
dent Of the council, and the king has
accepted his resignation.
The new cabinet was also announc-
ed. II is composed as follows;
William st. John Brodrick, formerly
secretary for war, succeeds Lord
George Hamilton as secretary for In
dia; Austen Chamberlain postmaster
general. succeeds Mr. Ritchie as chan
cellor of the exchequer
Alfred Lyttleton. recorder of Oxford
succeeds Joseph Chamberlain as sec
retary for the colonies.
II. o. Forster. secretary tC
the admiralty, succeeds MT. Brodricl
as secretary for war.
Graham Murray, lord advocate o
Scotland, succeeds Lord Balfour, o.
Burleigh, as secretary for Scotland.
Lord Stanley. financial secretary d
the war office. succeeds Austen Cham
berlain as postmaster general.
The withdrawal of the Duke d
Devonshiro is a heavy blow Had h
remained the government might pos
sibly have survived another pariia
mentary session by avoiding Legislation
dealing with the fiscal problem, bui
with him goes the support of tbs
strong party of Liberal Unionists il
the country. Mr. Balfour's 2xtraor-
dinary letter reproaching the Duke ol
Devonshire with breach of faith is the
theme of universal surprise and com.
ment. Though it is generally admitted
that II is difficult to understand why
the duke did not resign when Mr.
Ritchie and the others seeded, It Is
recalled that he publicly announced
hot k|, 81. hfc affts
to hold office as long as possible in th'
interest of free trade, and the curl
ously plaintive and bitter tone of Mr.
Balfour's reply is regarded as alto
gether uniustihed by the circum
stances.
One consequence of the Duke 0
Devonshire's retirement is extremcl
unfortunate for the government.
will bring the leadership of the hous
of lords to the unpopular Lord Lans
downe. No successor has yet been ap
pointed to the Duke of Devonshire, an
several minor government Offices stil
remain vacant. OF the new appoint
ments announced the most surprisin
is that Of the Hon. Alfred Lyttleton a
secretary for the colonies. Mr.. Lyttl.
ton is a man Of acknowledged abilit
and a good speaker, but he has had D
ministerial experience whatever. He
better known to the colonies as o crioh
eter than as a politician. He was ais
for years the champion tennis playe
and has won international footba
honors.

BOY DISAPPEARED.

Boiling Robinson Has Not Been at
Home for Two Days.
Boiling Robinson. the IL year old
son of Major w. II. Robinson. has dis
appeared from his home in this city
and all efforts on the part of his father
fail tc bring any -iEsormation from
him, says the Arkansas City Traveller.
He was last seen at home on Wednes-
day afternoon about o'clock and II
is learned that he was later seen near
the Frisco depot, playing in some box
cars. However, this story cannot be
substantiated and the father of the boy
has seht cards to the officers Of the
|neighborlng towns. requesting them to
look out for him and offering a re
ward for any information that will lead
to his return.
The boy is causing his father much
worry. He is a great boy to fish and
would rather play on the river bank
than another place. The major has
fears that he might have gone to the
river and has been drowned. Before
leaving home the boy told one of his
sisters that he believed he would go to
Chicago, where an older sister is living
and she was a favorite with her little
brother Little attention was paid to
this by .he sister. she regarding it as
boyish threat.
When the boy left home he wore a
blue sweater and was barefooted He
has black eyes and brown hair. He
also has two large upper teeth in front,
with a small space between them.
