Boiler Explosion Causes a
Horrible Tragedy at San
Antonio Texas
Large Engine Had Just Be~n Taken
to the shops for Inspection-
Buildings Wrecked and Quarter Of
Million Dollars 60 Property.

A dispatch from San Antonio,
Texas. dated March 18th. says:
AT least thirty-two men were
killed and more than SO injured to-
day when the boiler OF locomotive
No. 704 exploded in the shop yards
OF the Southern Pacific Railroad
here. The property damage viii ap-
proximate s250.000.
"A committee OF railroad officials,
army officers and citizens made an
investigation this afternoon and II OF
the opinion that the explosion prob
ably was due TO earelegsness OF one
OF the men killed In allowing an In
rush Of cold water into the super
heated boiler In which the water was
already low.
Twenty bodies have been Iden-
tilted, twelve remain unidentified and
human fragments picked up within
radius of several blocks probably
account for several missing.
The engine. a big passenger No
gul. practically new. had been
brought to the shops for inspection.
Those In the vicinity who escaped
immediate death declare that the
boiler burst without warning.
The buildings wrecked are the
copper house. the blacksmith shop

An Albany. n. Y. dispatch of
March 8 says;
For three hours this afternoon
suffragists and anti-suffragists bonn
barded the members of the Assembly
judiciary Committee with arguments
for and against the proposed amend
ment TO the constitution which would
enable women TO do a little bargain
hunting at the polls on election day,
and when the cruel war was over the
floor Of the assembly parlor was
strewn with hairpins, feathers, and
puffs, all Of which had slipped their
anchorages during the discussion.
LAS soon as the skirted storm pass
ed over the assemblymen crawled
from under the table and announced
that they would give the measure ev-
cry consideration, which means that
1t will be dragged out on the floor
one Of these fine mornings and beat
en- to death"
