FOUR MEN WERE KILLED.
Boiler in Gin Department of Cotton
Mil Exploded.

Raleigh, n. c., Sept. 24.-The boiler
in the gin department of the Nam
moth cotton mill, Erwin No 2, at
Dukes, on the Cape Fear & Northern
railroad, about % miles from Raleigh.
exploded with terrific violence yester-
day morning, instantly killing four
men, scalding another so badly that he
will die and partially wGtcking the en-
gine room. Several persons were
thrown down by the shock of the eX-
plosion, but their injurieE are not seri-
Gus.
From the best information obtain
able, it seems that the old fireman Of
the mill had just been discharged and
the new man had gotten up too much
steam. The engine refused to work
and TIE fireman went after the super
intendent. AS they entered the en-
gine room together there was a rend-
ing roar and the men were blown to
pieces.

SIyTY-TWO PERSONS KILLED.
AN AWFUL COLLISION AT NEW
MARKET, TENN.
Two Passenger Locomotives and Big
eest Part of Both Trains DemoI-
ished - One Hundred and
Sixty-two People Hurt.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 2G-The
death list as a result of the fearful
wreck on the Southern road near
Newmarket Saturday has grown to G2
and it will probably exceed 20 before
Tuesday. as many of the injured are
in a serious condition and more deaths
will occur at the hospital. Sunday
there were six deaths at that insttu-
ton, the last one occurring when NJ. p.
Cant, residing at Shelby, n. c., passed
away.
This appalling loss of life resulted
apparently from the disregarding Of
orders given to two passenger trains
TO meet at station which has for a
long time been their regular meeting
point. The claim of failure to see
either the station or signals cannot be
set up by the engineer of The west
bound train were he alive to enter a
plea of defence, as the accident hap
pened in broad daylight and, accord
ing TO the best information obtainable,
he had the order in a little frame in
front of him as his engine rushed by
the station. A mile and half further
on it came fun upon an eastbOund
passenger train making for Hodges, in
compliance with instructions to meet
the westbound train which carried the
slccpers from the east for Knoxville,
Chattanooga and other southern cities.
The possibility exists that the i'll
fated engineer may have been asleep,
but nothing is known save that the
orders were not Obeyed. The trains
were on time and not making over So
miles an hour, yet the impact as they
rounded a curve and came suddenly
upon each other was frightful. Both
engines and the major portions of
both trains were demolished, and why
the orders were disresarded will prob
ably never be known, as the engineers
of the two trains were crushed, thcii
bodies remaining for hours under the
wrcckage Of the locomotives.
The collision was between east
| bound passenger train No. - and
westbound passenger train No. Is
from Bristol. No. II was a heavy
train, carrying two Pullmans, two day
coaches and a mail and baggage car.
No. 15 was a light local train. The
greatest loss Of life occurred in the
eastbound train, while in the west
bound train only the engine crew were
killed
Engineers Parrett and Kane were
found beneath their engines, bat their
bodies were not crushed badly. Small
fragments Of bodies were found in
many places. but it is thought that
they belong to bodies already found
and brought to this city. One little

TWO PEOPLE KILLED.
Freight Train Struck Wagon Loaded
With Dynamite.

Cumberland, Md, Sept. 24.-Fast
freight No. 81 on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad struck a wagon loaded
with $50 pounds of dynamite at the
crossing at North Branch, ". Va, four
miles east of here, yesterday after
noon. Two persons were killed and
nine were injured, three OF them seri-
ously.
The dead are: C. Walter Whitehair,
front brakeman; Nelson Pike, Mar
tinsburg, veteran engineer, scalded all
over and internally, lived two hours.
The Baltimore & Ohio tower was
wrecked, as were several residences
near by. The commisSary of Mike Ell
more Wabash sub-cOntractor, and the
Wabash temporary hospital with other
small buildings were demolished. The
windows of the school house and of
the residence of G. A. Zimmerly, on
the mountain half n mile away, were
all broken out. No house escaped
damage.
James Laing, who drove the wagon,
escaped with only trivial injury, as did
the two horses, although the latter
were blown so yards into a field. Ac-
cCrding to eye witnesses, Lang, hear
ing the train, became terrified and
stopped on the track. The wagon was
three feet of clearing 1t when the en-
gine struck the rear end carrying 1t so
feet before the explosion. Laing de-
serted the wagon and ran down from
the track into ditch. He was knock
ed down and rendered unconscious for
a time, but the force of the explosion
passed over him.
The engine was overturned and
stripped and seven cars following,
loaded with high grade merchandise,
were broken, several being demolished.
The tracks We're thrown out of the
bed and twisted serpentine, while rails
were snapped like pipe stems. The
wires were torn down and relief was
telegraphed for after going to Patter-
sons Greek on a handcar.
The explosion knocked nearly every
person in the neighborhood down,
hurled Hunter Bowen through a roof
but did not hurt him, and threw parts
of the engine 200 yards. Slack tele-
graph wires were snapped between
poles by the concussiOn.

WORST ERUPTION SINCE 1872.
Mount VesuVius Is Throwing Out Lava
and Rocks at Terrific Rate.

Naples. Sept. 26.-The eruption of
Mount Vesuvius continues to increase
in force. and is now more violent than
at any time since 1872. Red hot stones
are hurled to q height of l,G0O feet,
falling down the hanks of the noun
tain with a deafening sound. The di-
rector of the observatory says that
between O'Clock Sunday morning
and o'clock Sunday afternoon his in
strumcnts registered 1,S44 violent eX-
plosions, and that one stone thrown
out weighed about two tons. Lava
flowing from the crater has melted TN
metal Of the Funicular railway
All vegetation within a radius OF
one mile of the crater has disappear
ed. Several earthquake shocks were
felt yesterday. Some of the people in
the surrounding villages have left
their homes and are Camped in the
open air. The curiosity Of turists
to approach the volcano is such that a
large number of carbineer guards
have been detailed to prevent them
crossing prescribed limits.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Confidence Increases with Harvesting
of CroPs-ColIecton Are Good.

OF SToPs-CollectlohS are SOou.
New York, Sept. PR G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade expands steadily as conf
dence increases with the harvesting Of
crops and mercantile collections are
less tardily met. Lower temperature
stimulates the demand for fall and
winter wearing apparel, and there is
more disposition to prepare for the
future rather than to Confne opera
ti0ns within the limit of immediate re
quircments. This improvement is cX-
tending to all departments of manufac-
ture and in the aggregate there is less
idle machinery than at any recent
date. Settlements of labor disputes
have helped in the development Of
this favorable condition.
There is no evidence of anxiety
among consumers of iron and steel to
place large orders or to secure quick
delivery, yet the tonnage gradually eX-
pands and it is evident that the lowest
point of the depression has passed,
Production steadily increases, prices
are more readily maintained, and, the
number of pending contracts promises
well for the future.
Moderate gains continue to be made
by the textile industries. particularly
as to woolens and worsteds. Staple
lines are quoted somewhat higher and
prompt deliveries are urged by pur-
chasers. Increased activity at the
mills has helped to sustain the eastern
market for wool, and brisk competi-
tiOn at the London auction sale was
also a factor of Importance. Irregu-
larity in cotton goods must be attrib-
uted to an erratic demand that ema-
mates from uncertainty regarding the
raw material.
Boot and shoe jobbers are seeking
to place supplementary orders for fall
shoes, stimulating quick delivery,
which indicates that their holdings are
small.
Failures this week aggregated 225
in the United States, against 223 last
year, and 80 in Canda, compared with
19 year ago.
