Brooklyn Pastor Becomes a Fraternal
Member of Central Labor Body.
New York, March 20.-Rev. War.
rem H. Wilson has been admitted into
membership in the central labor union
of Brooklyn. He joined as a frater.
nal delegate and at the request of the
Brooklyn presbytery which has reach.
ed the conclusion that hitherto the
church has not entered into fellowship
with organized labor as it should have
done. Only one vote was cast in op
position.
The new delegate is pastor of the
Arlington avenue Presbyterian church
In an address following his election
he said that the presbytery averred
that the church had strayed from the
divine teaching in not taking a deeper
interest in the welfare of the laboring
men. He thought that the church did
not fully understand the objects OF
labor unions and believed that the
time is at hand when it should be en-.
lightened on those subjects.

Pittsburg, March 20.-Pittsburg Is
IN the throes of an annual flood.
Fortunately, however, the damage tC
property will be minimized, compared
with former years as the vast river
interests, railroads and other business
affected by floods had ample warning
and preparations were made according
1y. Up to the middle of last week
heavy SHOWS remained IN the upper
250 miles of the Allegheny valley, and
its tributaries, and the high tempera.

flood conditions from the headquarters
to this city. Already the loWlands
are submerged, and mills and factories
on the river fronts have been forced
to suspend operations. The crest OF
the flood is looked for in Pittsburg by
nightfall, and a stage of 80 feet is ex
pected
The Allegheny is rising like mill
race today, and although practically
clear of ice, it is carrying great deaI
of timber and debris. The ice of the
greater part ran out during the early
hours of the morning and as far as can
be learned no damage resulted from it

FIFTY ARE REPORTED AS MISSING
Large Shoe Factory Is Wrecked b,

Great Loss.

~ ~0@ @SSos
Brockton, Mass, March 20.-A boil
er exploded in R. V Growers shoe fac
tory here today and it is reported {
large number Of employees have beer
killed. The report was believed to be
based on the fact that rs employees
were found to be unaccounted for af
ter the explosion. 1t is expected tina
after the excitement has subsided,
many of the missing ones would be &C
counted for.
Before o'clock the entire Grovel
plant has been destroyed by fire which
spread to adjoining business struc
lures and private residences.
The boiler which exploded was locat
ed on the ground floor in the Ell par
of the 4-story factory. When the ex
plosion occurred that part of the fac
tory directly above collapsed. How
many of the employees in this section
succeeded in escaping is not known. A
moment after the explosion fire broke
out in the wreckage.
A canvas completed at $50 O'Clock
Of the Grover factory employed shows
that so were missing. The fire was
still burning fiercely and not under
control, though it had not spread with
in the previous Is minutes.
Reports received at the Brockton
hospital were to the effect that II are
dead and score more wounded.
At 1880 O'Clock it was said that the
fire was under control.
AT that hour search of the ruins was
still impossible, owing to the heat
The number of missing Is still estimat
ed by the police at so.
An accurate estimate or the loss oi
life was impossible. 1t was under
stood that upwards of 200 persons were
at work in the departments near the
boiler room, and the f1rss indications
were that hardly one could escape
Later, however, it was learned that
but so were unaccounted for, and II
was believed that many of this mum
Der might be dead or injured. The
factory, large 4-story wooden struc
ture, was in ashes within an hour.
The flames extended to several OF
the dwelling houses near by, and tc
the Dahlburg block, across the street
from the Grover factory. These also
were consumed, and other property
was damaged.
At 1880 o'clock 1t was believed that
the fire was under control, and the
financial loss was estibated at 5000 600
Twenty-Five bodies had been taken
from the ruins. Many of them were
SO terribly mutilated and burned as
to make it difficult to identify them.
Up to 1870 p. m. 80 had been re
covered. In a few instances only
fragments of the clothings furnished
the means of determining whether the
remains were those of a man or wo
man, or a possible clew to IDENTIFY.
The chief of police estimates the dead
at so.

later party of II rescuers entered
Rush Run mines to locate the dead.
They probably had gone back 1000
feet when the second explosion oc-
Cured, and it is positively known that
all are dead, as there is no possible
chance for their escape.
After the first explosion miners from
neighboring mines rushed to the all.
fated mine in an effort to save their
comrades. On account of the gas it
was considered unsafe to enter the
mine today, but early Monday eight
old and experienced miners, with safe
ty lamps, entered and cosed up some
of the entries, so that fresh air can be
forced into the mine.
The rescuers had gone about 1000
feet into the mine when the second
explosion occurred, or less than half
the distance to where the miners had
been working when the first explosion
occurred.
There is no hope of recovery of any
OF the bodies for many hours. The
