IN RAIN OF MorTEs METAL.


~aIaA4J hurt % Explosion.
Une man is dead, seven are not ex-
pected to live. two are missing and seven
others are SO badly buried and dis6gured
as to be almost unrecog 1izable as the
result Of an explosion in blast furnace
II of the Edgar Thomson steel plant of
the Carnegie company at Braddock, Pa.
The name of the dead man is given as
John Smith. AS far ms can be learned
the explosion was caused by a defect in
the electrical equipment of the furnace.
During the night the furnace worked
unsatisfactory and about daylight a
number of men were sent to the top to
repair the trouble at the ''bleaker." At
the same time the discovery was made
that the automatic electrical equipment
was out of order and other men were
sent To find the trouble. While seventeen
men were at work at the top or bottom
hang" in the furnace was found and be-
fore the alarm could be given there was
terrific explosion of gas and the work
men were enveloped in molten metal,
coke and lime, which burned the cloth
ing from their bodies and rendered them
unconscious. Notwithstanding the dam
ger of a second explosion a party was
organized and the men were rescued from
their perilous position. Only fifteen could
be found, however, and it is not known
whether the two missing ones were blown
into the furnace.

ing the inquest. Special attention is Civ.
en- to the letters exchanged between Ar
thur Il. Pencil and Mrs. Burdick. par.
ticularly the one containing threat
against Burdicks life. Concerning these
the judge says:
Altogether, these facts would, in my
opinion, constitute just, ground of suspi-
cion on which a warrant could be issued
were he alive"
Speaking Of Pencils relations with
Mrs. Burdick Justice Murphy says: His
of all others was the motive strong
enough to incite a desperate mind already
stepped in wrongdoing to SO foul and
cruel a murder He can never be placed
on trial nor can his case ever be judi
cially determined. Let us be as fair,
then, TO the dead as the law presunes
US to be to the living. He must be pre-
sdmed innocent until proved guilty"
