a nc —— FATAL A Factory in Quebee, Canada, Totally Demolished, BOILER EXPLOSION. | Over a Score of Bodies Taken From the Ruins, A boiler in the Quobee Worsted Company” factory, at Hare Point, Canada, in theout skirts of the city of Quebec, sxploded at about 9:45 o'clock on a recent morning, coms. | pletely demolishing the engine house and a part of the factory. employes were buried in the ruins, and on | the morning after the explosion twenty-five bodies had been taken from the debris. The late morning services in the Roman Catholic churches wore attended at tho time by thousands of Lenten penitents, when the services were Interrupted by a shock as of a mighty earthquake, and zs the churches swayed came the thick, heavy thud of a startling report. In some churches, and notably in St. Roch’s, there was quite a panic, and the clergy with difficulty induced the people to leave the building quietly. * The explosion was that of the boiler of the Quebec Worsted Mills, an immense building at Hare Point, 500 fest long. The factory had been closed a fortnight while repairs were being made to machinery, and on doy of the disaster the boilers were being tested preparatory to work being resumed when the explosion occurred. No- body knows how or why. Those who could alone have told the story now lie cold in death : Arthur Tweddle, Superintendent of the Quebec and Levis Ferry Company and a skilled engineer, was superintending the work, assistad by the engineer of the fac- tory, Thomas Stiles, John Lee, enginear, of Montreal, and by three master mechanics named John La Montague, Joseph Michaud and Willikm Francoear, all of whom were killed The explosion lifted the roof of the engine house a considerable height in the air and carried it some distance away. The walls of the structure and the lofty smokestack tot tered and fell. The dyehouss and two hundred feet of the factory building were levelled to the ground. Had the factory been in full operation the loss of life would have been numbered by hundreds. Eighty operatives who came to see if work would commence that day had been sent home ten minutes prior to the explosion About half the number were in and about the building, and some are numbered with the killed Many more may still be buried beneath the ruies. Willing hands worked hard all day at the removal of the debris, and occasionally their labors were rewarded by the discovery of masses of humanity, sometimes little more than limbs, at others armiess or legless bod Hi [here are portions of human remains that are recognized only by fragments of the ‘jothes they wore. The injured and dying were removed into the Marine Hospi close to the factory, where all the doctors in the city and a number of Sisters of Charity attended them Most of the wounded are so disfigured as to be almost unrecognizable, and barrowing scones were witnessed on all bands as wives, sisters or children, rushing among the rows of mangled, bleeding bodies, shrieked out the name of the husband, brother or father that they had identified. 2 remen, factory hands police and citi- zeus, und men of the reguiar regiments of Canadian cavalry and artitlery worked like heroes all day long among the debris and the mow to recover the dead and dying. The damage to the factory will probably exceed $100,000. Mr. Harvey, foreman of Messrs. Carrier, Laine & Co, of Levis, who were carrying out repairs to the machinery and boilers says that he was in the eaginsroom when the explosion took place. He instinctively threw himself under the shelter of a large wheel, and so escaped be ing crushed by failing bricks and rafters He was rescued a hall hour later, and has only slight injuries. He cannot account for the accident The cause of the accident is not at present known, but it is thought some of the pipes may have frozen while the fires were out, and «0 caused a stoppage when steam was started A large number of the | san LABOR WORLD.

Lovell was born in East Erain- treo, Mam, July 25 1820 At the age of eloven ho left school and went to work in a cotton factory One year later his mother opened a boarding house in Boston and John had another year of schooling. With this scant equipment, but with an in lomitable determination to succeed in life, the Loy of thirteen entered foto the arena of life's battle, “The years that followed witnesssd the lad making a fight against the dis advantages with which he was surroun lord After an eventful life in various lines of trade, be settled down to the gunsmith business in the employ of A.

At this time John had not a dollar in the world ( “Thus, fifty years ago, was formed the firm which to-day is represented by the great house of John P. Lovell Arms Co, whose business radiates throughout the world “John's profit for the first year was $700, In 1841 Mr. Fairtanks died and Leonard Grover entering, the firm became Grover & Lovell. | In 1844 John P. Lovell bought out his part pers share and with renewed zeal pushed his business toward the high mark of suo- | cose which he had set before himself in his outh, As the years sped by, his name and ame traveled from city to city. Through the ranks of the sporting goods dealers of America ho hewed his way from the lowest to the highest place of success, until with honest de he felt his feet securely planted on the igh ground to which in boyhood days, when wor and unknown, his ambition had aspired fis family had grown up around him in the intervening years, and be now bebeld his | sons, developed ino men ready to assist him in his old age to carry to a further success the enterprise began years before, “In 18574 the busines was removed to the present spacious 1 in Boston which noble buildings are Jooated in the business centre of the city “Here daily may be seen John P.
