BIG SHOE FACTORY At BROCK.
TON. MASS, WRECKED ~ {
BOILER EXPLOSION.
DEAD ESTIMATED At SIXTY AND
INJURED At PRACTICALLY
THE SAME NUMBER.
FIRE FOLLOWS THE EXPLOSION,
ORIGINATING THE lMPRls-
oNED EMPLOYEES.

s. Brpckton, Msss,, March 3l.-This
city is in mourning for at least three
score of her citizens whose lives were
blotted out during the day by the ex-
plosion of boiler IN large shoe
establishment, conduct
ed by the r. Il. Grover company.
The explosion was Immediately fol-
lowed by a flash of fame, which spread
and consumed the factory, a long four
story structure, as If it were house
of cards, and incinerated an unknown
number of men and women who were
unable to extricate themselves from q
mass of tangled wreckage formed by
the terrible unheaval in the boiler.
room. More than fifty Of the employees
| in the building we're MANNED, burned
or bruised by the time they reached
safe ground. Some had jumped from
the roof, some from windows and 9TH
ers had been injured in the mad rush
to escape from the doomed factory,
which from all parts emitted the in.
tense, awful heat of an inferno, driv-
ing back the band Of heroic rescuers
who in. q few brief moments had per.
formed gallant service.
The fire extended from the factory
to seven other buildings in the vicinity
and destroyed them. Two wooden
dwellings near the engine room were
practically demolished by the flying
boiler. The total financial loss is esti-
mated at s25o,OO0, 100000 of which
falls on the r. B. Grover company.
The monetary loss is nearly Offset by
insurance.
Total Number Of Dead Unknown.
It may never he known how many
persons perished in the wreckage, as
no one knows how many persons were
in the factory. The number has been
estimated at 400, but Treasurer
Charles O. Emerson said he doubted
whether there were 30 many ut work.
Two hundred and fifty survivors have
been accounted for and at midnight
the remains of fifty bodies had been
recovered from the ruins, the search
being continued all night. Fragments
of human frames which possibly might
belong to bodies other than those
enumerated, have also been found.
Few of the remains have been identi-
fed. The head in nearly every case
is missing.
At midnight, a list of missing, num-
bering twenty-nine, was given out at
the police station. It Is feared that all
were killed, as every effort to locate
them has proved futile.
At q. m. the remains Of ffty-three
persons had been recovered.
Chief Of Police Boyden expressed
the opinion that some of the employees
had not reached the factory at the time
of the explosion and that undoubtedly
a number of those living In nearby
places were injured and had gone
home without reporting their injuries.
He thought that many Of those not &C.
counted for, upward of 100 in number,
were among these.
The disaster was attended by many
narrowing scenes and thrilling res.
cues. For hours hundreds Of the rela.
tives Of the factory operatives be.
sieged the ruins and the fire and police
| stations in quest of missing ones.

aill Of tn. Poison Plant,

Close to the frontier Of Nepal is the
mountain Of 6andook-P Phu, which
means In the Tbetan language 1.-THE
hill Of the poison plant" or aeontte.
This plant is 30 abundant and 80 dead
ly in its effects that all sheep and cat
tie passing over the mountain are muz-
zled by their drivers. An English trav-
eler saw at it's foot great heaps Of dis
carded bamboo muzzles. Curiously
enough, only those cattle that are new
ly imported from the plains are fatally
affected. The natives believe that the
sheep Of the district learn to shun the
youngest leaves, which are the most
virulent. A more likely explanation is
that they grow habituated to the drug
by taking 1t in small quantities.
