Dozen Suffer Slight Injuries.
In addition lo these, a dozn or moio
of the employes, who suffered enmpar.i
tlvely slight, injuries aside from the
shod;, were taken directly lo their
homes. Twenty-live men and boys have
not as yet been located, either at their
homes or at. the hospitals. The ten tin
idenlilkd bodies account for ten of
these, and the ollieers of the company
say iliey feel positive that the major
part of the remaining lii'teeii are safe.
Tonight a groat force of men Is
searching the ruins by eleetrie light,
and the work will nut hi: stopped until
very loot of the debris lias been ex
amined, The I'eiilierthy Injector company's
plant occupied half a sipiare at the
i 'orncr of Abbott street nud Hrooklyn
avenue. II was composed of two brkk
buildings, separated by a sixteen-foot
alley. The rear building, in which the
boiler was located and which was com
pletely destroyed, was three stories in
height, r. t feet in depth and 100 feet
wide. The boiler room was located tit
the northwest corner of the building on
the tirst Hour. II was in this building
that most of the manufacturing -was
done. Tin- first Hour was utilized as
the engine and boiler room and a room
for testing the output of the plant, The
unlf-hing and brass manufacturing de.
partment was located on the second
tloor, and the third lloor was devoted lo
the foundry. It is impossible In tell
exactly how many men were at work
in the various departments of this rear
building when the explosion occurred,
but the ollieers insist that the number
was not over eighty-live. Then- were
four boilers in the plant, two horizontal
ones, which furnished steam lor the
engines, and two vertical boilers, which
were used solely for testing injcclois,
It was the horizontal boiler that was
In use this morning, which let go and
caused the awful loss of life. The
awful crash came without the slightest
w irning. Those In the front building

In a comparatively short time all the

r.m;ineer Itlley was anion:-!' the llrst
to be iIuk out finiii the Wlecl;. His
iscaiie was little short of miraculous.
When the boiler let ko, he was knocked
to the floor and 0111; of the smaller

prostraic body In such a way that one
end r sted on some debris hluh above
him. thereby forming a shield thai,
kept the falliiiK timbeis, bricks and
uiachliiery from crushing lit m.
The escaphiK steam, however, burned
him frlKhtfully. Afl-r his arrival at
ilraec hospital, lllley's lirsl words
were: "How did it happen'.' The en
Kino and boilers were all litjht."
Clradually the tescuers worked their
way downward through the pile. I'.y
this 1 hue then- were no cries or groans
to aid them for the dames had de
stroyed those unfortunates who were
not killed by Ihe explosion or the fall.
Kut the wink of rescue continued with
unabated haste. When a heavy beam
or piece of shafting; was encountered, a
t'-am of horses was ilrhcn in and the
piece of wreckage hauled to the street.
Stretcher bearers stood beside the
delvers and boif away the btirii.-d and
blackened bodies. A vacant house ad
joining the factory was converted into
a temporary moiKUe: here the bodies
were placed in cofllns and taken to
the neai est morjjue. In several cases
the charred corpses were so hot when
recovered that they could scarcely be
bundled by the undertaker.-, and their
assistants.
Hospitals Besieged.
The hospitals wen- besieged by rela
tives and friends of tin inlured men.

only a short distance from Ihe scene,
and where many of the injured were
carried in wagons, the Hours of the re

the victims. Physicians weie hastily
summoned and the work of relief "
pediled. similar sc.-nes Wure enacted
at Ciruee and Harper luwpitiils.
The front building of the plant sus
tained comparative)y little, damage,
considering the tremendous explosion
within sixteen feet of it. All tie- win
dows, of course, were luokon and some
of the machinery was slightly injured
by the jar. Alueh damage was done In

SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE
PROVES A FAILURE
The Pittsburg Men Succeed in Crip
pling' but One Road, the Alle
gheny Valley,
lb I:m lu-iw- l in- iruiu Tiic Ao. .'jtt-.i t'u--j.
I'lttsburg, Nov. -. Judging by ap
parent. -ondHloiis, the switchmen's
strike, inaugurated this morning, has
proved a failure. The strike was 01-den-d
by the Switchmen's I'liion of
North America, and tile claim was
made curly in the day by tile union
olliclnls that every road in the city,
with the exception of the I'lttsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago and the I'ltts
burg, Cincinnati. Chicago and SI. Louis,
would be tied up completely. The de
velopments of the day, however, dem
onstrated (hat only one road, the Alle
gheny Valley, was seriously affected.
On this road but one crew was at
work, and the road is badly crippled.
The company ollicials. while admitting
that freight tratlle has been practically
suspended, say that within t,wenty-four
hours they will have all Ihe men they
need and work will he resumed as
usual. The other roads affected Were
the I'.'iltimorc and Ohio, twelve men
out: Pittsburg- Junction (a branch of
the tialtimore and Ohio), lii'teeii lien
out: ihe I'lttsburg and Lake Idle, four
men out; the I't-nnsylvaiiia. llllecn men
out.
One hundred and lilty would be a
high estimate of the number of men
who struck. None of these roads suf
fered much Inconvenience, because new
men were readily secured to take the
place of the strikers, and some of the
men, upon discovering that the strike
order had not been generally obeyed,
returned to their places.
WOODRUFF RESIGNS.
Result of Dissatisfaction Over the
Poor Showing- of the Pennsyl
vania Foot Ball Team,
lb lAilllMl, Will llvlll 'li.l- i,t Lit ill'liv,
I'liiladelphiu, Nov. ill, The dissatis
faction which has been manltested
throughout the student body of the
Imlversity of Pennsylvania lids fall,
ovei the poor showing of the 'varsity
foot ball team, culminated today In the
resignation of Ccorc, V. WoodiuiT, the
head ciftoh ..I tin- siiuad. .'i-. Won 1
rulf's resignation is as follows:
"I beg to tinder my lesignallun as
coach of tit" fool ball team and as
liuaticial secretary of the athletic n?
.soelallon, to take effect November 0!),
witli the distinct understanding that f
am not a i-andldatc for re-appoiinmcut
to either position."
Agitation for u change hi the system
of couching in Pennsylvania litis been
carried on the past two yea is, Wood
iuiT was engaged as head coach at a
good salary in IS'.il'. lie had played
guard on the Vale team, and was well
lilted for the position. Ho developed a
magnillcent team and in 1S!U, when
Pennsylvania defeated Princeton at
Trenton, N.J.. the red and blue tool: her
place In the "dig Four." Pur the next
thrf.it or four years, the (junkers were
Invincible. Then the standard of the
leant began to lower each season; this
year the team losing- four games out of
fourteen, with one more game to ho
played that with Cornell on Thanksgiving-
day. At the last annual meet
ing of the athletic association It was
decided to have a board of graduate
coaches assist Mr, Woodruff, but tills
plan did not help llm team any, and
about throe weeks ago the undergradu
ates held a mass meeting for th" pur
pose of aglltitlug a new system. It was
resolved lliai the undergraduates Miotild
hnvo more representation on th" hoaid
of directors of the athletic association,
and a ticket with several ami-Woodruff
candidates was noininateil, Tim
election Is to be held at thu annual
lili-etlug of the association 111 Decem
ber, The complaints made by the students
were varied, but the board of dlrcolois
have always stood by the head pom-h.
Jt was claimed that ihoio were many
promising candidates tlto university,
but they would not come nut became
they did not want to be coached by
Woodruff. He has been silent all
through the aifalr until today.
None of the members (i( tlf, .tiiiloijo

DATE OF CITY PRIMARIES
Republican City Committee Is to
Meet on Dec. 10 to Fix the Time.
Chairman Millar's Plan.
Major W. S. Millar, chairman of the
TicpuhUcau city committee, has 'ilit-cl-ed
thai notices be sent to the execu
tive branch or the city eoinmUtec, ask
ing them to meet, in ids ollice on Ile
(.cnibor it!, at S p. m.. for the pin pose of
tlxing- a time for holding- a primary
election to poleet a landldale for ill"
controller. That is the only ollice to be
filled nt the F bruury election by lh
vote or the citizens of the city at l.nye.
It is nrobable thai the primaries will
not be held until well on In .lanuaiy.
duly a few moiuhc-is of vigilance
committees were retained as elected, at
ihe last eitv primaries, and chairman
.Millar will have the filling of vacancies,
which means that he will have the up-pointing-
of practically all the members
of tlic vigilance eominitUcs who will
conduct, the election, He said yester
day that Ins will name no oil" who will
not agree to give his services without
i est. lie will also endeavor lo have a
uniform day for ltepiibliea.ii primaries
throughout the ciiy. when candidates
for coiurolli r and the various ward
ollirts will be voted for. This will elim
inate th" t-osl of booths, so far as the
candidates for controller are concerned.
"As there Is only one city ofllee to lie
filled, il would be wrong to allow the
expenses to run up." said Chairman
Millar yesterday. "It would prevent
candidates from registering. II will be
my effort lo have the primaries con
ducted without ti cent of expense other
than the cost of printing- the ballots. I
believe it can bo done, and I'm going
to try it."
The men mentioned for Hie nomina
tion for controller are J. George KIsele,
