Terrific Boiler Explosion.

Last Tuesday the big engine pulling
the Santa Fe flyer, east bound, explod-
ed with terrific force at point oppo.
site the Bi-Metal mines, four miles
south of Kingman, instantly killing
engineer l.. II. Fitch and mortally in.
juring fireman James Bland. The
force of the explosion carried the boil
er forward and away from the track
about one hundred and fifty feet,
where it landed with the head end
facing south. Engineer Fitch was
thrown from the cab fully six hundred
feet up the hill, his mangled body be.
ing filled with cactus and splinters.
Fireman Bland had one leg broken and
at first it did not appear that he was
badly injured, but it later developed
that he was also badly scalded He
died the following morning. The ex-
plosion, while terrific in its force did
little injury to the track and an en-
gine dispatched to the scene of the
wreck at once had little trouble in
clearing it up and taking the train into
Kingman. None of the passengers sus.
tanned more than a slight jar. The
boiler was a complete wreck, the crown
sheet having been entirely blown out
and the balance of the sheets badly
buckled. Asbestos covering of the
boiler is scattered for hundreds of
yards over the hills. News of the
wreck was telephoned into Kingman
within few minutes of its occurrence
and in less than fifteen minutes a
light engine was on its way with DIR.
Ealy aud others to aid the injured.
The body of engineer Fitch the in.
J1red fireman we're taken to Kingman
and later to Needles, where both men
resided. The dead engineer leaves
wife and children. Fireman James
Bland was unmarried. Fitch had been
running on the Santa Fe for many
years and was considered one of the
most careful runners on the road.
James Bland was one of the most pop.
ular of the firemen and was careful
and intelligent. For time be was
travelling fireman for this division. At
the time of the boiler explosion at
Nelson siding he was delegated by the
local brotherhood to take charge of
the remains of the dead fireman, and it
seems strange coincident that he
should have been killed in the same
manner.

In reference to the eight-hour day

Regarding the Miller case President
Roosevelt said that in his previous
decision, which was favorable to Mill

compliance with the federal and civil

difference between employing by the

ment prevailed around the steel post.
Brokers were in a frenzy to execute
urgent selling orders. Harris, Gates

The decentralization of trading began
with the sound Of the gong for the
opening of business and while the
balance of the active list was lower
in sympathy, the real attack was on
the Steel issues. A notable exception
to this rule was Colorado Fuel and
Iron, which sold down 5A in about

The usual crop of rumors disquiet-
ing to the market were in circulation

The threatening situation in the east,
floods and further closing of steel

London, Oct. 12.-The gloomiest i'm

east.
Both Japan and Russia continue to
profess the most peaceful intentions,
while pushing forward the most ac-

both suggest that each, regarding the
conflict as inevitable, is maneuvering
to place the onus OF initiation on the
other.
This is especially true of Russia. IT

that since NJ. White, the former finance

NEPHEW STEALS
HIS AUNI'S BODY

PaWtucket, r. l., Oct. 12.-Behind
the Quiet funeral of Mrs. Adilie c..
scharpless, which took place at the
Friends meeting house at Saylesville
to-day, is a strange story of the Sc
cret removal Of her remains from the
original casket and their shipment to
this city while her husband unknown
ingly accompanied an empty coffin to
the cemetery at Springdale, Iowa.
Mrs Scharpless was for fifteen years
a preacher at the Friends meeting
house in Saylesville and married E.
v. Scharpless, a Friends minister of
Salem, Iowa, since then residing there.
She possessed considerable fortune,
and her relatives did not look upon
her marriage as favorable.
When she died a few days ago the
funeral at Salem, Iowa, was attended
by Pawtucket relatives and the hus-
band declared his intentions of bury
ing her at Springdale. 49, s..
The details were left to a nephew
| who secretly removed the body and
sent the empty, coffin to Springdale
Scharpless will attempt to recover the
body by legal process. .. ,.,..--. ~

Conroy was taken to the hospital

Finally he gave an address, but 1t
proved to be fictitious.
His sister and the dying mother

rounds of the hospitals. At Bellevue
the search was rewarded, but she had
arrived too late. Her brother had
passed away only a few minutes be-

United States Steel corporation left
here to-day by special train, accom-
panied by engineers. Of the Westing-
house and General Electric companies
and by the hydraulic. and electrical
engineers of the Great Northern Power
company Of this city, for a two days
trip to inspect the iron ore traffic from
the mines to this city and the rail-
way probe mconnected Herewith.
This is preliminary to estimates of
the cost of converting the entire
main lines of both the Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern and the Duluth &
Iron Range from steam to electric
motive power.
The two roads handle a maximum
traffic of about 100000 tons a
month, and the project is by far the
most important that has ever come
up in electrical railway development.
The preliminary estimates are for
+ the saving of about 100000 a year
by each road, and the plan suggested
contemplates the adoption of 1900

ing current trolly locomotives similar
| to those just put on the Baltimore &
