boiler warming themselves when the
explosion occurred.
Nine of the victims have been iden-
titled as follows: William Dunn, en-
gineer at the plant, t~hirty-ive years

eight years old; John Raymond, car
penter; Leo Fernandez. employee; Mar
tin Smith, employee; Wyatt Moore, en-
ploye; George Ward, fireman; William
Pepoon, Elmer Eldredge, laborers.
1t Is believed that most of the uni
Identified dead were foreigners. The
injured were taken to the House of
Mercy in ~ambulances summoned from
Pittsfield. Some Of them cannot re

The boiler was used in furnishing
power to haul the cakes of ice up the

said by the officials to have been In

named Mackenzie MacBride, contends
that Cockney is no modern dialect, but
that it possesses an ancient and hon
orable lineage running back nearly
1000 years. When one born within
sound of Bow Bells says tibet" for
that" "benk" for bank" and by
tyfe" for "bailif," he is using no mod
ern corruption of the English Ian
guage, but the pronunciation of those
words which has obtained not only in
London, but in Kent and Surrey for
hundreds of years. Moreover, in an
Client times, the words were spelled as
the Cockney now sounds them. so,
too, are "abaht" and "ahtside" justi-
fed for about and outside" accord
dng to Mr.. MacBride. He says that
many Londoners have been laughed out
Of these ancient pronunciations, and
he advises them not to change their
speech, because of outside prejudices
against it, says the Chicago Tribune.
Certainly Cockney would seem to be a
dialect or it would not have survived
for SO many centuries in the midst of
speech which calls itself more cul-
tured- 1t is a curious fact hat in
