0NE MAN KILLED
 IN AN EXPLOSION
Engineer Sam Wick is Dead,
 Several Injured
FURNACES CLOSE DOWN
After Delay of About Ten Hours the Damage Is Repaired and the Work Resumed-The In-
 jured Doing Well.

Ensley, July 30.-(Specal)-A serious and fatal accident occurred this morning about o'clock at the blast furnace plant of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, in which one man was killed and sey eral injured, one seriously, and as a result the furnaces were shut down about ten hours.
 The accident was caused by the burst ing of the steam separator which caused the main steam pipe from the boilers to the engine room to fall.
 Sam Vick, the man Killed was chief en- gineer at night. He was standing close to the separator when the explosion oc- cured and his body was thrown dis tance from the engine room and was badly scalded and mangled. He leaves a wife and four children who are visit ing relatives at Columbana. They were immediately notified of the accident.
 Echos and Angwin took charge of the remains. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
 The most serious of the other injuries were those sustained by Ether Keith and Thomas Christian, who were taken to the Cunningham hospital for treat ment. They were both able to be taken home this afternon and are doing well.
 The explosion caused several thousand dollars worth of damage, a part of the engine room being blown down.

Whitman's Plagiarisms.

From Current Literature.
 The idea that Walt Whitman, the most original of American poets, borrowed his of his worshipers. In an essay on The Open Road" (Chicago), Elsa Barker, the poet, quotes from Whitman and from sev- eral of the Persian and Hindu poets enough parallel passages to convince any impartial student that Whitmans study of Oriental literature went further than the Bhagavad- Gita, to which Emerson in- troduced him. Mrs. Barker does not ac- cuse Whitman of borrowing, but she leaves the reader to answer for himself the question whether the bard of Cam den deliberately or unconsciously took his own wherever he found 1t. Though Whit man founded his famous style on the He brew Scriptures, it is not to the Hebrews. she thinks, nor yet to the Hindus that we must look for his closest aftinities, but to the Persans. She says
 Though certain mental and emotional tendencies that we find dominant in Whit man (and perhaps in no other western writer) are common to all the Oriental nations, yet the most striking resemblance to Whitman in the expression of these tendencies we find in the Persian poets. And when 1 say Persian poets l do not mean Omar Khayyam. There is no affin- ity. so far as l can see. between Whit man and Omar. The old tentmaker was an agnostic, in the most modern sense of the term; Whitman was a devotee, dem ocratic dervish; he was a nineteenth cen- tury brother of Nizami and Altar

Statistics of a Smoker.
,rom the RrooklYn Eagle

From the BrOOklNn lIaSle.
 remarkable story of swearing off comes from Dubuque, Iowa, where Isaac Manhoff, a peddler, who for sixty years has been an extraordinarily heavy cigar ette smoker. has decided to renounce the weed absolutely. MT. Manhoff fixed his average days smoke at sixty cigarettes and upon this basis he has smoked in his life just t963,000 The local reporter then indulges in the following calculations: He has used ,204 300 matches. which amounts to G022 boxes of 200 each. match aver ages about two and a half inches in length, and when 1,204,5O0 of them are strung in straight line one after the other, they stretch 2,710,500 inches or 225,- S66 feet, making 8 total of over forty-two miles. If Manhoff had all the tobacco he has used in his life and all the papers in one piece he could roll q cigarette that, if it were laid in a straight line, would extend forty-two miles. Allowing three minutes for rolling and smoking a cigar cite, Manhof has thus spent 2,S90. 500 min utes of his life. This amounts to 4S,1SO hours or over FOOT days. Two thousand and seven days are over five years and thus it is easily seen how Manhof spent about one-eleventh of his life in the sat isfaction of his desire for smoking cigar cites.

IRON MARKET IS
 QUIET BUT FIRM Producers Have No Fear as to
 the Outlook SPOT IRON IS GObBLED u7 Sales Agents In the South Report Con dltions Splendid, With Nothing Ahead to Cause the Slight
 est Apprehension.
SPOT IRON IS GObBLED u7

Chattanooga, July 3O.-The Tradesman will say tomorrow:
 Southern manufacturers of pig iron are selling their products slowly but surely. While there is no activity the market ap- pears firm and the prospects exceedingly bright. The make for the third quarter of the year, now on, has been well cov- . cred, as well as a great portion of the probable make of the fourth quarter This means that the producers need have no fear as to the market, and accordingly they are taking things easy and allowing business to come in practically by itself. What little spot iron is offered finds a ready demand
 A few thousand tons of iron was offered a short time since for immediate de- livery and it was gobbled up so quickly that the manufacturer offering it was himself surprised. Sales agents in the south are sounding the future market, and In every instance they report condi- tions splendid with nothing on the hori- zon to arouse apprehension. The make is a little bit better than it was fortnight since. The ore supplies throughout the south with more than one company have been short, but the preparations being made to improve this condition will soon be felt. Steel production and demand are both very active.
 Steel prices in the south have taken a strong foundation and the opinion is ex- pressed that prices have been fixed for the coming year at least. There seems to be no end of the demand in sight. Coal and coke are very active, with strong production and good demand for every ton being mined or manufactured.

BUILDING TO COST S1O,O00

Bessemer. July 3O. - (Specal)-The board of trade held important meet ing this afternoon in the office of the secretary. 1t was the regular monthly meeting of the body and good many matters of importance were brought up, the most important being that of the new farmers warehouse, which is to be located in this city.
 A committee consisting of David H. Fulton, William Il. Dennis and J. B. Morton was appointed to- take the matter of location for the|warehouse up with the committee from the Farmers Union on Friday pdternoon. and they have full powers 10 act.
 Ones-of the gentlemen at the meet in, this afternoon representing the union stated that it was their intention to erect a building that would cost not less than $1o,O00. so it will be seen that the erection of such warehouse will mean a great deal to the city.
 The members composing the two com mittees will meet Friday afternoon at which time trip over the city will be made and a location decided on, if it is possible to get a desirable one in the city. If one cannot be had in the city the committee win take trip to the out skirts. as Messrs. Reeves and Gwin, two of the members of the union committee. have let 1t be understood that it was not absolutely necessary that the warehouse be locaed directly in the city.
 When the warehouse is completed. tho farmers of the different counties to be represented will be able to bring their
 
 length of time they might see fit, and in addition to having plenty of storage room they will be in position to find a better market for 1t than they now en- joy.
