tains nevertheless all the elements
of an up-to-date romance. The earl
of Yarmouth was first introduced into
the Thaw family by Harry Thaw.
brother of the bride. This was last
winter. when the Thaws were occu-
plying the fine house in Lafayette

MOLTEN IRON RAINS.
One Man Killed and Seven
Horribly and Perhaps
Fatally Burned.
(By the Associated Press.)

Pittsburg, Pa, March 31-One dead
seven not expected to live, two missing
and seven others so badly burned and
disigured as to be almost unrecogniza-
BILE was the terrible result of an explo-
sion in blast furnace "F' of the Edgar
Thomson steel plant of the Carnegie
Company at Braddock, Pa. early today.
The name of the dead man is given as
John Smith. probably an Anglicized form
of his proper name.
AS far as can be ascertained at this
time the explosion was due to supposed
defect in the electrical equipment of the
furnace.
During the night the furnace worked
enthusiastically and about daylight a
number of men were sent to the top to
repair the trouble, which was located at
the "bleaker." At the same time the dis
covery was made that the automatic
electrical equipment was out OF order and
additional men were detailed to locate
the trouble. While seventeen men were
at work either at the top or bottom a
hang" in the furnace was found and
before the alarm could be given there
was terrific explosion of gas and the
workmen were enveloped in a rain of
molten metal, coke and lime, which
burned the clothing from their bodies,
and rendered them unconscious. Not
withstanding the danger of second ex-
plosion, a party was organized and the
men rescued from their perilous position.

could be issued were he alive. That
would not mean. however. that he was
guilty. He would have the right to a
trial" tho renort continues He
can never be placed on trial here nor
can his case ever be judieially de-
termined Let us be as fair then to the
dead as the law presumes us to be 10
the living He must be presumed IN
nocent until proven guilty"
The finding says the evidence does not
sustain the theory that Burdick had
woman in his den that night nor has II
disclosed a single immoral act on his
part, and concludes:
"It portrays him as a loving father
and more than magnaminous and for
giving husband. Mrs. Paine and Miss
Hutchinson, whose names have been un-
fortunately brought into this case, are
so far as this inquest is able to de-
termine, completely exonerated.
1.-THE actions of Mrs. Hull on that
morning and her testimony on the stand
have caused me much thought and study.
TO my mind they are inconsistent, with a
perfect want of knowledge as to what
had actually occurred. So little appar-
ent feeling for the dead man; such an
evident desire to cover up the crime
and no disposition whatever to aid the
authorities in apprehendfng abe mur-
derer may be explainable, but has not
been explained The opening of the
windows from the inside and no one
having gone through as indicated by the
snow and ice on the ledge would indicate
desire on the part of some one to give
this crime the appearance of burglar's 5
work. The person who waited there TO
wrap the head of his victim in that
blanket and pile pillows on his corpse
was not a burglar. Nothing has been
missed from the house excepting Bur-
dicks watch.
Much credit should be given John r,
Rowland for his refusal to entertain the
suggestion of suicide. But for this rug
ged honestly We might never have known
that one of the most clever and shocking
murders of this or any age had been
committed at our very doors. This is
essentially city of homes. where the
marriage contract is looked upon as the
cornerstone of society and is something
that is sacredly regarded by ALL To
make little of it Is to forfeit the good
will and respect of our people, and to
invite their most severe censure. 1t is
our duty to censure Mrs. Burdick. But
great as her wrong has been, great is
her punishment"

New York, March 31.-At a special
meeting of the stockholders of the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany held here to- day the proposition OF
the directors to increase the capital stock
from $150,OOo,OOO to $3.50, 900, 600 was rati-
fed by large majority vote.
The newly elected directors organized
by re-electing the former officers. The
three new vice presidents provided for

lows:
A. e. Cummings, of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company; Thomas Sherwin and
Z. j. French, former officers of the

been absorbed by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. Each
or the new vice-presidents will have
charge of certain departments, but these
details have not all been decided upon.
PRESIDENT Fish said the company has
issued so nearly the entire amount of
the original capital stock that it seemed
pest to get authority from the stock
holders to issue an additional amount.

Makes Terms With Directors
(By the Associated Press. J

Berlin, March 31.-While the board of
directors of the Mayence Peoples Bank
was in session few days ago the cash
ier, Hermann, who had been with the
bank twenty-seven years, entered the
room and told them he had taken $7O-
600 of the banks funds. The amazed
directors. when they were really con-
vinced that this was true and that the
old employe had not suddenly gone mad
asked him why he had robbed the bank,
Hermann replied:
This is my revenge for not having
been elected a director in 1900 as | was
promised"
The cashier added that he was willing
to go to the penitentiary for life as he
had got even by inficting life terms
on the directors and stockholders" by
taking the money.
The banks officers, dropping the high
tone which they had at first assumed
toward Hermann begged him to restore
the money and retain their esteem. Herr
mann slowly yielded so far as to say that
if they would give him $6250 down and
a life pension of 5000 year he would
return the stolen money. 1t was daylight

cashier $6.250 and pension Hermann
then went to the outer office, brought In
$40 900, counted out $63, ,750 and put So
$50 in his pocket. The directors said
this was not fair, that he must return
all the money and that then he would
receive the s6.25O promised to him Herr
mann, however, refused and the bank
has now brought lega! proceedings to re-
cover the $6,250
