Molten Metal
MANY NOT ACCOUNTED FOR
Explosion at Steeel Furnace in pittsburg
Last Night Is Laid to Negligence
Of Jones & Laughlin Steel
Company.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 10---So far but
ssyen deaths are reported from the ex-
rlosion last night at the Eliza furnace
of the Jones & I,aughlin Steel company.
1t is possible that several bodies ARE
still buried under the slowly cooling
debris All the dead were burned al
most beyond recognition. But 23 Of the
40 men who were known TO be in the
vicinity Of the furnace when the acci-
dent happened have been accounted for.
The company is being severaly scored
for negligence.
The explosion was caused by an ac-
cilmulation of gas at the base Of the
furnace around which thirty-tive men
were working. OF all these, but one
man escaped injury Without warning
and with roar like artillery, tons OF
molten metal were poured over the work
men and for space of thirty feet about
the furnace the metal ran, flowing at
some spots to depth of four and five
feet.
The bodies of the seven dead which
have been taken to the morgue are hor-
aibly mutilated. While the mill officials
are inclined to believe that not all the
missing men were eremated, nothing def
Unite is known as to their whereabouts
Only one man has turned up since the
explosion and he says everything hap
pened so quickly that he doubts wheth-
er the other men escaped
While responding to the alarm, hose
carriage was struck by a street car
Iwn firemen were injured and horse
was killed. The windows Of the street
ear were shattered and panic followed
among the passengers. Two were in
jured by being trampled upon.
When the families Of the victims
learned Of the disaster they gathered
before the gate and made frantic efforts
TO gain admission. Several frenzied
women fought the officers to be allowed
to enter the mill to see their loved ones
III became necessary to call additional
police to forcibly escort them to theii
homes.
The officials at the mill refused ia
allow any admission into the ward where
the furnace Is located and all informa.
tion was refused They said that they
might issue a statement A heavy guard
Of foreign worlanen was placed at n
entrance and even the police could moi
pass them.

YOUNG C0RBETT
BADLY BEATEN
By Tommy Murphy in Sir-rOund Bout
in New York-Former Champion
Got Tired Toward the

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 10.-- Tommy
Murphy Of New York gave Young Cor
bett a severe beating in a six-round bout
before the National Athletic club last
night. From the first to the sixth round
Murphy outfought the former champion
at all stages.
In the second round only the sound Of
the bell saved Gorbett from o Knockout.
Murphy simply rained blows on the for.
mer Denver fighter and near the close
Of the round sent Corbett to the floor
with a right to the jaw When Corbett
rose, Murphy kept after him. smashing
lefts and rights To the face and body.
When the gong sounded, Corbett was
hanging on tile ropes Ia practically a
helpless condition,
The one-minmte rest brought him back
II fairly good condition, but Murphy
gave him no opportunity to rest and
drove Cnrbett from one side of the ring
to the other, landing on the face aud
body almost at will Corbett got in
an occasional blow to the Kidneys and
neck. but they lacked force.
In the third round Corbett tried the
tactics he worked upon McGoyern 50
successfully in their two championship
battles. He began to hurl epithets at
the New Yorker, which we're intended to
rattle" Murphy The latter simply
smiled and drove two rights to the jaw
with such force that Corbett forgot TO
talk.
The fourth, fifth aud sixth rounds
were repetitions Of the third. Corbett
tired perceptibly in the closing rounds
and was simply mark for the young
er and bettef- conditioned fighter Mur-
phys condition was perfect, but it i
probable that Corbatt would have tipped
the beam at close to i4O pounds. He
was slow and wild and outciassed in
boxing, hitting and ring generalship.
