In A NJ M0LTEN TIDE
Of Furnace Metal Twenty
Four Workmen Die.
IRON FOUNDRY HORROR
Majority Of Victims Vanished Entire
Iy, Not Even Their Bones Being
Left-Only Eleven Out of
Thirty.Five Accounted For.

A disastrous explosion occurred
Wednesday night about o'clock at
the Eliza furnaces, of the Jones &
Lughlin steel works, in Pittsburg;; Pa,
when a large quantity Of gas which
had accumulated at the base Of tho
furnaces became ignited. Tons OF molt-
en- metal was showered around the
furnace for a radius of forty feet.
Out Of a force of thirty-ive men
employed at the furnace when the
explosion occurred, three OF them,
John Cramer, Andrew Featherka and
Gustave Kessler have been taken to
the morgue, their bodies horribly mu-
tilated by the fire. Seven men are
in hospitals fatally injured and twen-
ty-four others have not been account.
ed for. While the mill officials are
inclined to believe that all OF the
missing men were rot cremated in
the molten metal, nothing dennite Is
known as to their present where
aboutS.
Only one man, George Cox, has
turned up since the explosion, and
ne says everything happened so quick
that he doubts whether the men es-
capped.
Chief Peter Snyder of the fourth
fire district, Was seriously injured,
while directing the tremen to extin-
guish the fire, which followed the ex.
plosion.
The officials at the mill refused to
allow any one to enter the yard
where the furnace is located. All III.
formation was refused to newspaper
men, the officials saying that later
they might issue a statement. A
heavy guard of foreign workmen were
placed at the yard entrance, and even
the police were rowerless to get past
the foreigners.
Charles Bennett, a yard brakeman,
who was passing near the furnace
on a freight train when the explo'
sion occurred, gave a graphic de-
scription of the disaster.
"Our train was right near the fur
nace," said Bennett, when the metal
poured out of the furnace over the
ground. saw the men running for a
place Of safety. To the right of the
furnace saw party of ten men,
all of them running wildly, and their
clothes a mass OF flames. Apparently
some of them had been Injured when
the explosion occurred, as they could
hardly run, and several of them trip
ned and fell. The hot metal ran over
them in a moment. Just at this time
a second explosion occurred. I again
looked to the right of the furnace
for the men, but I could not see any
of them, and l believe all were burn
ed to death. My train was in the path
Of the metal, and I was compelled to
uncouple the train and signal the en-.
sineer to pull ahead"

ROAD OFFICIALS HELD.
Eight 3. G. o. Employees Will Be Cali
ed to Answer for Many Lives Lost
in Washington Wreck Horror.

At Washington Wednesday night,
the coroner's inquest over the Terra
Gotta wreck of Sunday night, Decenl-
Der 30, held for the action Of the
grand jury, Harry II. Hildebrand, en-
aine9r OF the dead train 212V; FRANK
+. Hoffmier, conductor OF tnal train;
P. F. Dent, night train dispatcher ct
Baltimore; William E. McCauley, d.
vision operator for the Baltimore and
Ohio rallroad; Is. l.. Vermillion, engi-
neer OF local train No. 81, iuto
which 212O crashed; George w. Ma
gle, conductor OF train NO. &c; J. W.
Kelley, Jr., train master of Lne Bal
timcre and OHIO, and William NJ. Du
trow, the telegraph operator at Sill.
YER Springs.
The verdict Of the jury was that
the deaths were caused by impact, due
TO the excitement OF Operator Dutrow,
in displaying an improper signal to
the crew of trai1 212U, and directs
that Dutrow be held Tor the action
Of the grand jury. The jury also held
for the grand jury the others already
mentioned as responsible in lesser
degree for the deaths. The jury ar
raigned the block system on the Bal
timore and Ohio as not affording sat
isfactory protection to the lives and
property of its patrons, arraigned The
system Of wages paid the operators
and signalnen On the road, and rec
commended that all block signal. sta-
tons be kept open "a hours day,
and no additional duties given the
operators aside from working the Sig
nails and attending to their telegraphic
duties.
Charles W. Galloway, superintend-
ent of the Baltimore and Ohio, was
asked by the coroner if ne had heard
all the testimony, and he replied that
he had. He was asked if he coultl
point out any rule which had been
violated by any witness in the case.
MIR. Galloway replied: They have
all been violated; all the rules re-
lating to the movements of trains
He was asked if he was surprised
at the disclosure apparently showing
laxity among the operators regard
ing the rules governing their posi-
tions. He said:
81 am surprised at their disregard
of their trust. 1 can only say that
in operating a railroad you must de.
pend upon the fidelity and rrustworthi
ness of the employees. If they are
lacking in that, 1 know nothing thai
will compensate for it."
When William l.. Moore, the opeT.
ator at Washington, in his teStimo-
ny in connection with the letting Of
No. IS in on the block between Ken
sington and Silver Springs, on the
night OF the wreck, characterized the
operator at Silver Springs as III
competent, wild and reckless"
Coroner Nevitt asked him who gave
him confirmation that the block wa2
clear and Mr.. Moore replied: This
young fellow from Silver Springs"
meaning Dutrow.
Mr.. Moore said he was not positive
that the block was clear.
81 told the engineer that I could
not trust the party" (referring to Op-
orator Dutrow). Il told the engineer
You go down there more carefully"
