FOLLOWED BY FIRE
Destroys Factoris and Other Build
inqs on Acres of Ground.

Lynn Mass, Dec. ga boiler ex-
plosion in the four-story factory Of
the P. J. Harvey Shoe Company at
West Lynn today destroyed the fac
tory and started a fire winch swept
over several acres, burning three
other factories, the Boston and Maine
railroad station and number of
small dwellings, besides causing the
injury of eleven persons, none fatal
ly That there was no loss of life is
attributed to the fact that the explo-
sion occurred just before time for
the factory operatives to begin work.
Lynn, Mass, Dec. 6.-The boilers
of the P. J. Harney Shoe Mfg. Co. in
this city, blew up today, injuring sew
eral persons and causing a heavy fl
nancial loss. The explosion besides
shattering the big four-story factory
of the Harvey Company, wrecked
several buildings near by Fire broke
out and the flames swept two acres
of the West Lynn district, running
premises of more than half a dozen
large business firms, mostly shoe
manufacturers, and destroying twelve

creamery; Boston & Maine West

a young man, he had many things to
learn and that he would have to
adapt himself to the circumstances
and surroundings of new country.
Rev. John Murray, the new pastor
of the First M. E. church, told of
once hearing Rev. Mr.. Davis in New
York, and spoke in general way
of the religious work all the minis
tiers in Roswell have before them,
and bespeaking for all the greatest
of success.
All the visiting pastors spoke in a
humorous vein part of the time, and
what they mad to say was given in
evident good faith. Their remarks
served as a livening influence on
the program. After a fervent benedic
ton by Rev. Mr.. Davis, Mrs. Norve1l
played the postlude, and an informal
reception was held, at which Mrs.
Davis was presented to the members
of the audience.

PEcos VALLEY EXHIBIT.
Rev. A. Foitz Here From Friday Un-
til Monday Showing the Won
derfuI Products of Roswell.

The Pecos Valley, New Mexico, ex
hibit car was side-tracked at the San
ia Fe station Friday and Saturda J
of last week proved a decided attrac
ton to many of our people. This is
the second trip of the Pecos Valley
exhibit car to st. john. The purpose
is to show the wonderful products
of that fertile valley. The car is un
der the management of Rev. A. Folt2
formerly pastor of the First Baptist
Church of st. John. Much has been
said of the Pecos Valley country, but
nothing that will convey an accurate
conception of its many products
equal to the exhibit car.
The car is a bower of beauty to
those who admire the works of ma.
ture. The walls and ceiling were
hung with ripened grains of all kinds
Upon tables arranged ON either side
were piled products of the garden
and truck farms, bushels of the
worldfamed big red apples, which in
color and flavor command the mark
et'stop price. There were bushels OF
grapes weighing from three to four
pounds. Samples of oats were shown
that yielded seventy-eight bushels to
the acre on sod land.
Five crops of alfalfa are harvested
each year in the Pecos Valley, one
years crop amounting to almost en-
ough to pay for the land.
ic .f,,J
try and the price of land is advanc-
ing rapidly.
Rev. Foltz has made a great deal
of money out of Pecos Valley land
and says that land there is a SNAP
no matter what price is asked for it.
The exhibit car is sent out under
the direction of the Commercial Club
of Roswell, Lakewoodb Artesia and
Hagerman.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
OF ARIZONA FLOOD.

SolomonvilIe, Ariz., Dec. 6.-Addi-
tionaI and late details of the Clifton
flood disaster indicate a most deplor-
able condition among the inhabitants
and tremendous loss of property.
Practically every building in town
was damaged, and many were swept
entirely away. The flood came with
out warning. Two men were swept
through the streets and saved them
selves by catching the awning of
store and breaking through the plate
glass front Numerous other narrow
escapes were recorded. 1t is believed
tnat many in the Mexican quarter
were drowned. No accurate estimates
of the damage done is possible yet,
but it will run into thousands.

OF The WOMAN'S CLUB


A larger and more successful meet
ing than the one held yesterday af-
ternoon has not been held by the Wo
mans Club this year. Mrs. G. A.
Richardson was the leader and she
not only planned her day cleverly,
but prepared her part of the program
to perfection.
The subject was ''Tne Capetain
Kings" and on this Miss Laura He'd
gcoxe gave splendid talk. Mrs. Par
ker Earle was unable to be present
and sent in a paper on t'The North
men in France and Their Conquest
of England" which was read by the
leader. 1t was an interesting and
comprehensive paper. Miss Rodkey
gave one of her characteristic brill
liant talks on s'The Hundred Years
War;" in which she covered all the
important points and gave clear
idea of the subject. Mrs Richardson
gave a beautiful little talk on Joan
of Arc, concluding an interesting pro-
gram.
The next meeting will be devoted
to a study of Louis XI under the lead
ership of Mrs. H. F. M. Bear.

New Japanese Treaty.

Chicago, Dec ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambas-
sador, went to the White House yes
terday on invitation of the President.
They discussed the proposition to
negotiate an entirely new treaty, es-
pecially recognizing the right of each
country to exclude the laborers of
the other. Such provision as far as
the Japanese are concerned is en-
braced in the present treaty, but both
the President and the ambassador
thought it would satisfy the pride of
the japanese if their right to treat
the Americans as the Americans
treat them were recognized. Such a
treaty would please the people of
California and show them that the
extent of excluding the coolie Japa-
nese if it should become necessary
1t was said yesterday tnat Secretary
Root, under the direction of the Pres
ident, is actually engaged in nego-
tiating a new treaty with Japan,
which will specifically grant the
Japanese the same rights in the pub
lie schools as are granted European
aliens. The senate would kill sucn
treaty, as the present sentiment in
dicates that not ten per cent of the
Republicans and non-Democrats
would vote for a treaty which in any
way attempted to limit the rights of
a municipality to manage its own
school affairs.

added new lustre to his already
great fame. 1t is hoped that all tr'Ie
Americans will unite in support of
his righteous policy
Nochis praises Mr.. Roosevelt's at
titude as just and impartial and Is
rejoiced to find it in perfect az 'rd
with the views of the Japanese gov
ernment.

confidently predicting a satisfactory
solution of the San Francisco compli-
cations.
