FAMOUS OLD CHURCH
ON EXPOSITION SITE

No section of the United States con-
tains so much of historic interest as
does Eastern Virginia, and especially
that locality selected as the site of the
Jamestown Exposition. Ranking high
among these points of historic interest
IS old st. Pauls Church The original
church was situated at Sewell's Point.
Started in 1871. this old church served
as a house OF worship for nearly a
hundred years. No trace Of the Original
church remains, save in the record of
the vestry, granting the bricks and tim
bers to build IT,
One Of the most interesting features
OF the church as it stands today is q
cannon ball which was fired by Lord
Dunmore, the last colonial governor of
Virginia. during his bombardment Of
Norfolk, in 1776.

HOT METAL KILLS FIVE.
4nother Explosion at Jones
LaughHn's Pittsburg F1Snace.

Pittsburg, May 21.-Two Americans and three
foreigners were cremated and four foreigners
were seriously burned tonight when an ex-
plosion occurred at the Eliza Furnace No / or
the Jones & Iaughlin Steel Company, Limited.
in the Hazlewood district of this city. OF A
crew OF ten men at the furnace when the acci-
dent happened only one, a foreigner, escaped
uninJured. The dead Americans are E. B. VIII
lard. assistant furnace superintendent, and John
a West head blower.
The accident occurred without warning. The
ten men were about ready to draw off the molten
metal when the ore slipped. falling TO the bot
ore forced the gas with terrific pressure through
the first dust catcher. which, unable to stand
the strain, burst. A tremendous roar accom-
panied the breaking OF the dust catcher, and
before the men could escape they were caught
by the flames. Willard. West and three for
eigners were directly in front Of the furnace.
The five other men were back several yards.
For fully ten minutes the flames shot out of the
furnace for great distance, and when the gas
was finally turned off only a few bones OF the
five men we're found. The four injured men
were caught by the first flash and severely
burned but were able to escape before they
were burned TO death.
Willard and West are said to he two of the
best known furnace men in the country. They
were experts at furnace work.
The explosion tonight is similar to the one
that occurred at the Eliza Furnace No. last
January when fifteen men were burned TO death
and many injured
