Molten Cnders Fall In Water at Gate
City, Causing Bad Explosion.

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock one
OF the boilers of the Gate City rolling
mills blew out, scattering water all over
the plant. In his excitement one of the
workmen dropped pot of molten cinders
In the water, causing a loud explosion
that sounded like one of the boilers had
bursted.
Red hot sparks were thrown on the
top of the roof of the mills, which were
soon wrapped in flames. The cinders fell
In all directions, but with the exception
of negro whose clothes were set on
fire all the men escaped without injury
The fire on the negroes clothing as well
as the blaze on the building were soon
extinguished, there being very little dam
age done.

In contrasting the old methods Of edu-

the waning strength OF Oxford as COM
pared with the increasing power of the
new universities of London, Manchester
and Birmingham. The speaker showed
that the American universities are forg-

more progressive methods, and showed
that more universities would have to be
established in England before that coun-
try could ever hope to rival the United

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed entire
ly, bones are spliced, pipes take the place
of diseased sections of veins; antiseptic
dressings are applied to wounds, bruises,
and like injuries before inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time re-
duired by the old treatment. Chamber
lain's Pain Balm acts on the same prln-
cipIe. 1t is an antiseptic and when ap-
piled to such injuries, causes them to
heal very quickly. 1t also allays the
pain and soreness. Keep bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will save
you time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which such
injuries entail. For sale by Jno. +.

American Fairness.

1t is not usual for any consider
able part of the American public to
attack a man in his grave. 1t is
unusual to tear aside the cerements
and make vicious assaults upon
the unresponsive clay, says the
Harrisburg Telegraph.
Senator Quay, dead, was follow
ed to the grave by assailants to
whom the grave was not sacred.
These men sought nothing that
would rebound to the dead man S
credit, portrayed nothing but real
or alleged weakness which all
humanity inherits, denied to him
even the commonest virtues he was
known to possess. Standing just
outside the portals of the great be-
yond they hurled invectives at the
departing spirit that had entered
there.
Fortunately for American de-
cency comparatively few newspaper
articles on Quay's character and
political life were of the violent
character. But unfortunately for
American decency a few detractors
had sought and obtained favors
from the living leader and malign-
ed him when he refused to be OF
further use to them.
1t must not be said that this is a
common offense in Pennsylvania
journalism. In this state, as a
usual thing, only the living are
reckoned with and the helpless
dead are spoken of not at all if
they cannot be applauded for the
little good they may have done in
life.
