Four Men Killed, Thirty HorrlpIy IN

Butler, Pa, Oct 7.-An explosion
caused by the upsetting of metal POI
in the No. / cupola of the Standard
Steel company here, caused the death
of four men, fatally injured 20 and
Heriously injured 10 others.
Nearly all of the men were foreign
ers. The large wheel plant, 15Ox1OO
feet, was demolished, causing a loss
estimated at 100000.
The condition of the 80 men injured
is pitiable. Although still alive, the
features of a majority are mutilated
beyond recognition: The hot metal
was showered over them. causing hor-
rible injuries. Arms, fingers and ears
were torn off, while number of the
men had their eyes burned out. Sew
eral men are in the hospital with their
legs burned to a crisp. The physicians
attending the injured said at least 20
Of the men would die.
The explosion was caused by the
upsetting of a metal pot in the cupola'
which contained 5000 pounds of molten
metal ready for casting. An explosion
followed so quickly that none OF the
workmen in the building had a chance
| to escape. Streams of the burning me
tai poured out on the workmen, some
of whom were engulfed and literally
cooked. Twenty men near the cupOls
had every shred of clothing blown OF
by the force of the explosion: Many

LYNCHING AT
CUMBERLAND, MD.
Negro Taken From Jail and Kicked
and Shot to Death.
he KILLED A POLICEMAN

Cumberland, Md, Oct. THE first
iynching in the history of Cumber-
land. which occurred Sunday morning,
has been the topic of discussion, though
scarcely of condemnation.
The shooting of Policeman August
Baker, on Thursday night, by William
Burns, a negro desperate, while the
latter was resisting arrest, created
great deal of excitement, owing to the
excellent reputation of the officer and
his well known kindly disposition. His
death on Saturday morning was fol-
lowed by threats against the negro,
these coming as much from those OF
his own race as from the whites.
Few, however, thought lynching pos
sible, and the police paid no attention
to the rumors that were aao$t. Only
Deputy Sheriff Adam Hendley was at
the Jail when a crowd of less than
hundred men, a few of whom were
disguised in one way or another, ap-
peared and demanded the keys. These
being refused, a telegraph pole was
used as a battering ram and entrance
to the building was forced. Other ne
groes. in neighboring cells, were care
full to guide the lynchers to that OF
Burns, and here again the battering
ram was used. The lynchers found
their victim crouching behind his cot,
and, seizing him by the feet, dragged
him up and down stairs and into the
street, where, within few yards OF
the entrance to the Jail, Burns was
kicked and shot to death.
Rev. w. Cleveland Hicks, an Episco'
pal clergyman, did his best to save th'
negro and afterward protected hi
body until the arrival upon the scen'
of Judge A. Hunter Boyd and the po
lice. Judge Boyd called the crowd II
disperse, and in this was prompt!
obeyed. The body was removed to a
undertaking establishment, and 1000
persons are estimated to have viewe
it.

church, Rev. William Frye, of Tren-
ton, N. j., in an address made an at
tack on Senator Knox, of Pennsylva-
mia, and Reed Smoot, Of Utah, declar-
inf that Senator Knox was the man
responsible for the failure to unseat
Senator Smoot, and that he has letters
from Senator Knox committing the
latter to Mormonism. Mr.. Frye said
Mormonism is not dead, but is more
alive today than at any time since the
Meadow massacre, which slaughter he
charged was directly due to the Nor
mon agitation among the Indians. Mr..
Frye charged Senator Knox with being
one of the strongest supporters of Nor
monism in the United States.
