 The exact cause of the explosion is un- known. but it is supposed to have resulted from pocket of gas which had accumu- lated in the pipe. Foreman Tchudy was unable to account for the ignition of the gas upon its escape, though one of the theories advanced was that the hot gas under high pressure may have been ig- nited by friction when 1t struck the cold air.

 feature of interest was the fact that Master Mechanic Gingroy. who was badly burned about the face, continued to as- sist about the plant with his face covered with first aid bandage, which was put on immediately after the explosion.
 Physicians were summoned from Wy lam and Ensley, and the injured carried to the infirmary of Rountree & Mcdonald at Wylam After the dressing of their Injuries most of the men were sent to their homes, and will be able to return to their work in comparatively short time.

Exploring a Poor Game

Charles Phelps Cushing in Collier s Weekly.
 Now that there is nothing left to ex- plore, the truth about the profession of being an explorer can be told without dispelllng any ambitious young man s rosy visions. The fact Is, honest explora- tion never paid an explorer fin anything more substantial than thrills. Fame us- ually has elected to hold back her laurel decorations until the sod has been green above the unappreclated explorer for q decade or two, and whatever currency or checks the work entaied have gone to the widows who would rather have earned the money some other way. Hen ry Hudson's widow lost even the insur- ance moncy-$4 -$400-promised by the Dutch East India company
 Everybody knows what a lot of worry Columbus had. and Columbus was man foremost in his profession. Then recall the case of the Norsemen. To this day they have not been given full credit for discovering Newport. though they built the first summer villa there by way of proof.
 Except for the money there Is in nov ing picture rights-which brings a TO- mantle profession down to the level of pugiism-even the best exploring feats of modern times would be applauded only little hour or two before oblivion. For example: few summers ago we were giving an intrepid explorer huge gilt keys to the city and immense floral horse- shoes Today, with the manners of a bowery burlesque house. we are giving him "the hook' and sending him floral tributes before there is a grave to dec- crate.

Gaston on Situation

Judge Zel Gaston is another who be- licves that Roosevelt has power.
 As to what effect the progressive movement will have on the politics of the nntion," he said, depends on how the democrats deport themselves during the administration of Wilson. Should they leeislate in a progressive manner. the Roosevelt movement will subside forever. But should they legislate as 'standpatters' or reactionarics,' the progressive party will continue to live, and in 1916 will walk into office. Should the democrats during the next administration be too conserva- tive, both the democratic and the repub- lican parties will disappear. l believe. and the remnants of both will unite under a new name as the chief opponents of the progressives.
 q will of course, vote for Wilson and believe he will be elected. I trust that his Congress will act in purely pro gressive and fearlessly progressive fash icn."
 The consensus of Birmingham opinion is that Wilson will win, and that Rcose- yelt will run second-that Taft in other words, will be forgotten in the general shuHle.

Collins Fears Roosevelt

J. D. Collins, the well known shoe mer- chant, believes that Roosevelt will make Q great race. and that he will be the closer follower of Wilson.
 T have studied the situation he said yesterday. and have reached the con ciusion that Roosevelt will succeed in winning many votes. l am positive that he will completely eliminate Taft. and that he will be a strong competitor of the democratic standard bearer. Although there is every reason to believe that we will win great victory before the peo- pie, it would be exceptionally unwise should we, in the belief that the repub- licans are hopelessly divided, sit calmly in the expectancy that the tide will sweep us into office.
 T agree that Taft Is hopeessly beaten. Rut Roosevelt will certainly bear watch ing."

Judge Feagin's Views


 Judge N. B. Feagin, while believing that Roosevelt will be defeated holds that the mere fact that the colonel has figured in the campaign, will result in a wonderful impression for good be- ing made on the thought of the Amer ican people.
 The platform of the progressives, stated he, lis a wonderful document Roosevelt declares for blanks which mean much for the future of women who work, children who work and those men who are in the rank and file of labor The democratic Con gress, which will be in power during the administra ton of Wilson will, as a result of tht fact that public opin- ion will be formed in favor of the pro- gressive ideas advanced by Roosevelt, Bryan and others. be of sufficient cour- age to legislate in accord with those ideas. And thus will ensue the good to the people at large"

 Taft Will Run Third WILSON VICTORY
 ALMOST ASSURED We'll Known Democrats, However, Say Party Cannot Afford to Sit
 Still and Take Victory
 for Granted

As to what will be tae result of the operations of the progressive party on the politics of the nation there is diff ference of opinion among the demo- crats of Birmingham.
 While a few of those interviewed yesterday are of the opiinon that Roosevelt will win enough votes to cause the democrats 10 tremble, there was not single one who hesitated to state: Wilson, that's all."
 In other words, the unanimous opin- ion among democrats is that Wilson will score a magnificent victory. Some, however. are under the impression that the redoubtable Teddy will, make ap- preciable headway.
 Gaut on Roosevelt
 Col. O. P. Gaut Who formerly figured to a considerable extent in Alabama politics, and who is now located in St. Louis. while in Birmingham yesterday expressed himself as certain that Roosevelt will receive the must hu initiating defeat ever accorded can didate in America. But Colonel Gaut was a notable exception.
 The Roosevelt movement" said he, lis made up of zealots who follow the colonel even as religious fanatics in other times have followed fanatioal leaders. This fanaticism will gradu- | ally subside and in the period of calm 1 deliberation following the progressive convention and the date of the cleo | tion the more conservative idea will prevail Wilson will, In my opinion, receive about two-thirds of the votes of the electoral college and Roosevelt will run a very poor last. The republicans will carry the city of St. Louis. Wilson, however, will carry Missouri"

Stanhope Record: Stanhope has
never had a town well nor a town
water works system of any kind and
has twice suffered severely from fire
without much of a possibility of saw
ing anything. Also, the town of
Stanhope has never in it's history
had a penny of bonded Indebtedness,
a record that certainly is very I'M
usual.
Now Stanhope proposes to have a
town well and at least a mighty
good start towards an up-to-date
water works system, and will still
remain a town without a penny Of
bonded indebtedness.
And that certainly will be a still
more remarkable record. -
Stanhope has long felt the need of
a good city well and a good water
works system and the start was TAX

last year to provide additional funds
for the town treasury. At that the
tax levy in Stanhope is still the low

proprietors of the/1deal meat mar
ket, is displaying some samples Of
produce taken from his Minnesota
farm that go to prove that the
northern land is not far behind Iowa
in the raising of small grain and
potatoes. Mr.. H. has a farm con-
sisting of about 4SO acres, all tilahle
land and not far from the Canadian
line. The place is operated on
shares by a farmer. This morning
Mr.. Huddlestun received some sam
pies of beardless barley, bearded
barley, oats and wheat. all Of which
show UP wonderfully well. In the
vegetable line the northern farm
produces potatoes and Mr.. Huddle-
stun says that his field will yield
him in the neighborhood of 5000
bushel. A sample convinces one
that they r as good as the best.
