BIG BOEER EXPLOSION
It Considerably Startles the People
Around Hassillon.
SEVERAL BUILDINGS BURNED UP.
The Engineer Instantly Killed While at His
Post of Duty.
OXLT PART OF HIS BONES ARE FOUND
Massillox, June 21. A frightful
boiler explosion occurred between 3 and 4
o'clock this morning, at the Drake Coal
Company's mine, two miles Mest of this
city. The engine and boiler, ued in sup-plying-power
to the works, were completely
n recked, and several buildings about the
works were destroyed by the fire which fol
lowed the explosion. Henry Vogt, the
nicht engineer, who happened to be the
only one on duty at the time, was instantly
killed by the force of the explosion, and
his body was so terribly burned by the re
sultant fire that only a portion of his body
was found.
Tliis afternoon the Coroner held an. in
quest, and called before the jury Rinehart
Jvcllar, General Manager of the company,
and D. W. Johnson, of Cleveland, boiler
inspector for the Hartford Steam Boiler In
spection Insurance Company. The latter
testified that in his opinion the explosion
must have been caused by low water in the
boiler. Portions of tile boiler were ex
amined, and indicated this idea to be cor
rect. The loss to the coal company is about
?2,000, which is fullv insured.
services were observed with great solemnity
In this city this afternoon. Ylsltlmr Knights
were present from Toungstown, Salem and
Sallncvllle. An imposing procession
marched to tho cemetery.
A NEW WAY OF FISHING.
Tho
FIsli "Warden "Wilt- Probably Find a
Way of Stopping It.
Xew Castlic, June 21. Some parties at
"Wampum have arranged an ingenious and
successful method of catching flsh. It Is a
hoat, in which tho eats are so arranged that
tho boat can be dipped, the water almost
coming over the side. Just nftcr dusk in the
evening two men take helr places in this
boat, and row up one side of tho Beaver
river for a distance of about a mile, keeping
the dipped side of tho boat as near as pos
sible to the bank. This contrivance can only
bo used when tho river is on tho rise, as tho
ilh then congregate along the shore. -s tho
boat passes alonir the shore tho flsh become
frightened nnd Jump into the boat.
After Roing up, tho boat is rowed to tho
other side, whore tho same tactics are pur
sued. 2fo light is ned, and tho darker the
night tho bettor. The parties using this sys
tem have been at it for some time, nndovery
night come in with a large catch. The flsh
are unable to escape, owing to tho bottom of
tho boat nearlv touching the bed of tho
river, thus forcing them to Jump directly
into the boat. Thoro is no law covering this
ingenious method of poaching, but it Is
probable that tho Fish Warden will find
tome method of stopping it.

SUIT FOE A BOW BOAT.
It
Is Dismissed for "Want of Jurisdiction
by Sqnlro Dobbin.
Titcsville, June 21. 'Squire Dobbin, of
I.incolnville, lying on thobanksofapleasant
lake near here, has dismissed an interesting
suit, for fear it does not come under his
Jurisdiction. Tho case was that of Shrcve vs
Emerson, to recover the value of row boats
which Shrcve had out on the lake, and which
lie claims Emerson had destroyed.
Some years ago tho Canadorah Club
bought a large tract of land, including tho
lake. They claim the ripht to control it, and
sav who shall and who shall notpnt boats on
tliclnkc. On the other hand the people in
the neighborhood claim tho lake is public
property, and they can put boats on the
lake, and fish and hunt whenever thev see
lit. This question, that is of interest to
every sportsman in the vicinity, will likely
be taken to court.
AN UNSATISFACTOBY SCALE.
Sixth District Amalgamated lodges Discnss
It at Length.
YoexosTowx, June 21. A general meeting
of representatives from Amalgamated lodges
of the Sixth district w as held here last night,
continuing until a late honr. The changes
in the new scale limiting tho time of charg
ing in' ttie finishing mills and also the ad
vanco in pay to puddlers' helper-, was lis-cii-ed
at length, the sentiment beingngainst
tliese changes. A committee was appointed
lo visit tho Amalgamated Convention in
IMttsburg, and lay their grievances before it.
The helpers assert that if the puddlers do
not grant the advance, they will unite and
force the issue. The new scale is not satis
factory to either manufacturers or iron
workers, and unless changed, will not be ac
cepted by the stationing Valley iron manufacturers.
A TJnlontown School Teacher "Wlo "Wanted
Time to Cast Ills Ballot.
Uxtoyrowx, Pa., Juno 2L Some time ago
A. C. AVoolsey, of Terry township, took a
vacation, and put a substitute in to teach his
school. The directors of the school refused
to pay him, and he has brought suit. Mr.
"H'oolsoy taught the Summer Hill school In
that township, and when he went homo to
vote he engaged Miss Annlo Moss to take his
place for a week. At- the hearing before
Justice Shank, of Xew Geneva, the directors
presented a letter from Deputy State Super
intendent John Q. Stewart in which that
gentleman said they had done right in re
fusing the pay for tho week, as a teacher had
no right to hire a substitute.
In order to make their annnal report to
the State Department, nnd receive tho town
ship appropriation, the board has omptoved
C. K. McDonald to teach the extra week dur
ing AVoolsey's absence. Justice Shank took
the papers and reserved his decision, and up
to to-day he has not given out any opinion.
All parties concerned in the suit for a few
dollars had come some 30 miles to tho
Squire's, and after the tempest In theSquire's
office the directors took a steamboat excur
sion. If the decision is against them they
will take the mattor to court.
tSrECIAJ. TELEGRAM TO THE piSPATCH.j
New York, June 2L The following re
ports have been received from the mining
centers of the "West:
Denver Summer work in the Colorado
mines is now fairly under way, and news of
important strikes is -received daily. From
Lake City comes news of a strike in the
Golden Fleece property made by Charles
Davis. The ore was found in a body, and is
rich tellurium. At Pitkin the Silent
Friend is taking Out good -mineral. At
Crested Butte new properties are being
worked and old ones started. Cripple
Creek shows gold discoveries. The camp
seems something of a mystery. A corre
spondent writes: "The fact is, it is a puzzle
to the people here why so few men come to
these mines when they are so promising,
quartz assaying 540,000 a ton."
Aspen shows its usual excellent work and
steady output, with no especial new fea
tures. From Ophir, near Telluride, comes
news of preparations for more extensive
work on the Caribou Mine, a contract for
20,000 timbers having been let. Silverton
reports the sale of the Crowley Mine at
Chattanooga to the Silver Ledge Company,
for ?80,000. The Silver Ledge Company
will work the property extensively. In
Park county the Colorado Comstock has ex
hibited some remarkably good ore. Around
Ouray mining was never in a more prosper
bus state, or, indeed, throughout the San
Juan generally. The American Nettie at
Onrav recently shipped 20 tons of ore,
which was valued in gold at 510,800. The
Hew and Lake Mines, on Eed Mountain,
have been bonded to an Eastern syndicate.

Chicago, June 21. Last November
Charles H. "Weeks, an expert accountant of
this city, was, he savs, injured by falling
from a railroad train at Toledo, since which
time he has been an inmate of the county
hospital here, apparently suffering from a
serious nervous trouble which .physicians

A PLENTTTUDE OF SNAKES.
Eleven Killed and Relieved of Their Skins
in an Hour.
Middixtox, June 21. Cliaunceford Strauss,
of York county, enmo into tho city last even
ing and told tho champion snake story up to
date. He said that In the space of uuhour
lie had killed near Middletown ferry eight
blacksnakes, two copperheads and a garter
pnake, and to substantiate his story he pro
duced the skins of the snakes.
The largest blacksnake measured five feet,
and the copperheads were over two feet In
length and were vicious looking reptiles.
Mr. Strauss says that vicinity is infested
with the deadly copperheads, though up to
date no one has been unfortunate enough to
encounter their fangs.
An Eloquent Discourse Delivered at Slead
ville Yesterday.
Meadvitxe, Juno 2L President D. H.
Wheeler, of Allegheny College, preached his
baccalaureato sermon here this morning. He
took Solomon's song, eighth chapter, sixth
and seventh verses, as his text.
His eloquent discourse upon the subject
was listened to most attentively by a very
large congi esation. Ho dividedhis discourse
into 12 subdivisions and closed by saying:
"We have all heard that sneer of the
trifling and frivolous about a never-ending
song, and a never-ending harp, in the blessed
woild. Hut these figures of John are simply
the promise no scoffer can take from us. that
the human heart mavbv and by realize its
dreams of a flawless life and a perfect song.
What we want in which all other wants
meet is life, more life, Joy, more j03 un
speakable Joy. And since Joy alway9 sings,
the heavenly song and the heavenly harp are
intimations of an unstinted gift ot life and
the high Jubilate of immortal delight. Their
simple sense is the dream, come true life
forever more, life in fullness of Joy."

DESTRUCTION OF FISH.
Old Mines Being Reopened.
San Francisco The North Star Mine,
Amador, will be reopened and worked this
summer bya, company that has bonded the
property on liberal terms. The Comet Mine
will be prospected through the North Star.
The Hirsh Mine, Inyo, which has lain idle
for a number of years, is being worked nnd
is developing into a small bonanza. Ten
tons of ore recently shipped gave a return
off 1,347. The ore assays 13 per cent
lead, G6 4-10 ounces silver and 510 gold per
ton. For about a month past each tenth
load of gravel from the Harmony Mine,
Nevada county, has been put aside, with a
view to determining whether much gold is
lost in the washing process. The Union
Consolidated Mine, Phineas, half of which
is owned bv an English syndicate, is pro
ducing $20,000 a month.
Lucky Dan Higgins, an old silver pros
pector, recently discovered a rich silver
lead in San Diego county, extending from
the Mexican line some SO miles northwest,

"Wichita Kan-., June 21. For over a
year the mystery surrounding the murder
of Christopher Helm, a wealthy cattleman,
whose body was found on the Cherokee
Strip riddled with bullets two weeks after

his body of a large sum of money. It is said
that the authorities have Scott located.

CoxxeactLke,Pa., June 2L Thousands
of dead flsh are floating on the surface of
the lake here, and every day the proprietors
of tho "several hotels walk along the beach
nnd bury the hundreds of line fish that float
nMiore. Many of tho dead fish are 10 and 15
pouuders, while thoy will average fully
three pounds in weight.
There is no doubt the flsh are killed by
dynamiting, and unless the contemptible
business is soon stopped, tbe glorv of tho
lake for excellent fishing -will soon depart.
Itia stranse thing that spottsmcu and
hotel men here do not put a stop to work
that is depriving the lake of its chief attrac
tion to thousands of summor tourists.

It
Was Preached to a large and Relent
Audience.
Xew WiLiiisoTOX, Juno 2L Tho annual
baccalaureat sermon was preached by Dr.
Ferguson in the Second U. P. Church this
evening. The house was crowded to its
utmost capacity and many were taken a tray
belng unable to get standing room. The
doctor took his text from the second chanter
of Phillipians, eighth verse, "Obedience
Unto Death."
Three points were discussed. First What

Great Activity in New Mexico.
Silver City Mining men at Hanover are
much elated at the prospect for that camp,
and there is every indication that within
three months .Hanover will be producing
more ore dailv then any other camp in the
Territory. The rails h'ave beep laid on the
Silver City and Northern Railroad about
one-third of the distance to Hanover, and
the line will be completed to that place
early in next month. Since work was com
menced on this line there has been a lively
scramble for the possession of claims there,
and new ones have been located wherever
there was the least showing for either cop-
icr or iron mines, so that now there is
lardly a foot of ground within three miles
of Hanover gulch which is not located.
There are mountains of iron and copper
ore which cannot be worked out for dozens
of years to come, while only four mjles
distant are the 40 mines of the Santa Rita
Copper and Iron Company, which have
never been offered for less than 51,000,000.
Operations in the Gold District.'
Idaho City The property of the Gold
Hill Company at Quartzburg has been ex
amined for a Colorado company. The ex
pert recommends the mines very highly, so
there is no doubt that the transfer will be
made in the course of two or three weeks.
John McKav has located a mme Jliree miles
northeast of" the Horn Silver, in the Eldo
rado district, that gives great promise. A
little over a year ago four energetic miners,
with good standing qualities, secured the
Hard Scrabble, in the Gambrinus district, a
mine that has yielded very rich gold ore on
the surface, and began running a long tun
nel to tap it at a depth of about 300 feet.
For over a year they worked day and
night in the hardest rock ever run through
in the district. They now have a heavy
now oi water in the lace ot the tunnel,
which is in over 600 feet, and have crossed
two stratas of quartz that prospect well in
gold. The miners at the "Washington have
broken into a vein of very rich gold ore,
much larger than any heretofore discovered
in the mines. During the past three weeks
the ten-stamp mill turned ont 56,000, run
ning days only.
Thousands of Dollars a Day.
Tucson Encouraging news comes from
everv mining section of Southern Arizona,
w Inch includes all the country lying south
of Mojave, Yavapian and Apache counties
to the Sonora line, west as far as the Colo
rado river and east to the line of New
Mexico. In this section there are many,
valuable mines that are now producing
thousands upon thousands of dollars every
day, and, though many of them have been
worked for 20 years, they are still good ore
producers. The Antelope, in the Catalinas,
owned by General Johnson and associates,
is giving every evidence of being very
profitable. In the Olive camp there is an
increased activity and a large quantity of
ore is being taken out from the mines that
are being chloridcd.

UIIG UP FOR LOST TIL
You -might judge there was either some disturb
ance in the clothing market, or the weather injured
goods if kept. The prices heard of sound astounding.
Isn't it more likely that the quality hardly met
your approval? that considerably more was asked for
it than it would fetch? that it's not sure of its prices
now, and'll be less so if kept over? or that it's sought
to make up for lost time?
Anyway, it doesn't compete with our reliable
clothing. We have sold heaps of our make, because
it was wanted and the prices were low, in good time:
low to begin with.
Some lots have been made lower. The goods
have solid value. The prices are genuinely lowered.
Men's Suits, $15, down to $10.
Boys' Suits, $8 50, down to $5.
Children's Suits, $"5, down to $3 50.
Suits to order $25 up.
Thin goods at right prices. New lots in.
The best tailoring to order, and 2,000 styles of
goods to look at
