MIDLAND, Mich., was shaken by the explosion of a battery of lour boilers that furnished steam for operating the saw mill of the Midland Salt and Lum­ ber Company. The boiler house was detached from the mill and was com­ pletely wrecked, and considerable damage was also done to the saw mill. Three employes were killed. August Malcolm, the fireman, was fatally hurt, and Arthur Robinson, E. P. Elton, Charles Blynn, Charles Burt, Albert Mall, and Sanford Walton were all more or less seriously injured. E. P. Elton was blown some distance from the mill, receiving a severe scalp wound. The cause of the accident has not been definitely ascertained, but it is charged to be a defect in one of the boilers. The damage to the property will not ex­ ceed $7,000. THE farmers in the West and North­ west have a good right to be blue these days. The heavy rainfalls seriously Belay those who have not finished their •feeding, and the ^unseasonable snow­ storms in the more northern regions have played havoc with the crops already in. The corn belt is soaked, and the til­ lers of the soil in Kansas, Nebraska, Mis­ souri and Iowa are fretting away the time until the sun dries the land so they can do their drilling and seeding. Wheat, too, will have to wait in many States until the land assumes a better condi­ tion for plowing. The outlook is not at all encouraging to-day. Cloudy weather still prevails in the vicinities visited by coal from the dumps, burned the resi­ dence of an officer of the company and wrecked that of a non-union man whose employment by the company was the cause of the riot. EMIX PASHA, who is said to have be­ come blind while endeavoring to recon­ quer Wadelai, In Central Africa, has long been a sufferer from defective vision. At Zanzibar, after his return with the expedition sent out under Stan­ ley to "rescue" him, he walked out at an upper window in consequence of his partial blindness and sustained such in­ juries that for a time his life was de­ spaired of. REPORTS received by the Russian Gov­ ernment regarding the condition of win­ ter wheat show that the crop is In a favorable condition in the Polish, Bal­ tic, northwestern and southwestern provinces, Central Russia, the Crimea and the Caucasus. In Kherson the wheat crop is in an unsatisfactory con­ dition, while in the northern and east­ ern provinces the grain has not yet sprouted.

THE caterpillars, which a year ago appeared in such numbers along the southern border of North Carolina as to delay trains on the North Carolina Central Railway, have again appeared. Reports made by correspondents of the State Agricultural Department say the caterpillars have stripped the forests of all their leaves and are moving 6lowly westward. They are much more nu­ merous than they were last year. So far as reported they have not attacked the crops. NEW OBLEAXS dispatch: The great Morganza levee in Pointe Coupee parish --the biggest levee in Louisiana--broke Monday in consequence of the great pressure of the swollen river against it. At midnight the crevasse was 400 feet wide, and the water, six feet in depth, was rushing through with appalling force. The levee is 25 feet high, from 60 to 150 feet wide and a mile long. It is one of the most im­ portant levees along the lower Missis­ sippi, and parted at a point where a break will cause the greatest possible amount of damage, since it will let the water down on Pointe Coupee, Iberville, West Baton Rouge, Assumption. Ascension, La Fourche, Iberia, St. Mary, and St. Martin parishes, and may flood all the country between it and the Gulf. This levee broke in 1884 and caused $10,000.- 000 of damage, cutting down the sugar crop of the State materially. It was partially broken in 1890, but enough of it was held then to reduce the amount of damage. The United States govern­ ment assisted in rebuilding it both times. POLITICAL. CHARX.ES EMORY SMITH has formally resigned the Russian mission. THE Montana delegation to the Re­ publican National Convention goes un- Instructed. GROVER CLEVELAND was indorsed for the Presidency by the State Democratic Conventions of New Hampshire and Missouri. THE People's party of the Second In­ diana Congressional District has put M. W. Ackerly, of Knox County, in nomination for Representative. GEN. C. H. GBOSVENOR has been nominated for Congressman by the Re­ publicans of the Eleventh Ohio District. Pattison, Democrat, was elected in this district in 1890 by a plurality of 2,953. IOWA has announced itself for Boies. The Democratic Convention at Counoii Bluffs decided this, and selected the twenty-six delegates who will go to Chi­ cago and present Boies' name and insist Iowa, Nebraska, and elsewhere are sub' meraed. The Sny levee, which pro­ tects the rich bottom lands of Pike County, Illinois, is in danger of break­ ing. AT its morning session, Tuesday, the Methodist Episcopal Conference took a decided stand in favor of closing the World's Fair Sundays. The sentiment of the delegates was that there might better be no Fair at all than one whose gates would be opened Sundays. In case of Sunday closing, the conference is favorable to a Government appropri­ ation of $5,000,000. UNCLE SAM ha3 put his foot down, has taken his whip in hand, and Is pre­ paring to flog two giant monopolies-- the young and cruel Reading combine and the mature and sturdy stone trust. If the men who command what kind of stone shall be used in build­ ing houses and what prices shall be paid are philanthropists, Uncle Sam wants to know it. If the men who dictate the price of hard coal, and who by their own admissions made a net profit of $40,( 00,000 in 1891 are ben­ efactors of the human race. Uncle Sam wants to know the modus operandi. A large number of dealers In coal and stone have been summoned to appear before the Grand Jury at Chicago and tell what they know about the regula­ tions of the trusts.

VHh Waste of Wstw. reached been HE Ole Missip Is a boomln' " is the correct river expres­ sion for the condi­ tion -of the father of waters at St. Louis. The danger line has the mighty stream has already spread Itself over territory not rightfully its own, doing great dam­ age to its banks and to the movable property of citizens along the shore be­ tween Bremen on the north and River des Peres on the south. The rise came within thirty-six hours, und the water Is still creeping up. Near the Merchants' bridge, in North St. Louis, scores 01 men in the employ of the lumber companies are at work securing lumber piles from the water. Last Saturday these piles were from twenty to thirty feet from the wa­ ter. Where the river seems to have created the greatest havoc is a squat­ ter" settlement about half a mile below the Msrcu&Dto' bridge, called Okla­ homa." The greater number of the squatters' homes are small flatboats or floating houses, some of them In the water, others on land supported on stilts. The danger line is 28 feet for a num­ ber of houses along the river front. At last reports the water was 27 feet 7 Inches. \ Damage Beyond Estimation. Near Brunswick, Mo., the Missouri and Grand Rivers have been rising rap­ idly for several days. Monday was spent in rescuing the inhabitants of the bar south o£ that place, which was formed about twenty years ago by the Missouri River changing its channel, and has lately become valuable farming land. Much stock was Also taken off the bar. ~ Hundreds of acres are cov­ ered by the floods and dozens of homes destroyed. Monday evening the ferry­ boat, loaded with people and horses, was broken from its , cai le by drift and floated down the stream. One woman fell into the river, but was rescued. The drifting ferry-boat was carried down the stream for almost four miles, where it landed on a bar in the Missouri River and the people were rescued by some fishermen. Mnoli Suffering In N^bnijw. Never has Nebraska experienced -su<Jh a long-continued down-pour d'f rain. The Missouri River is nine feet above low water mark. There is no flood at Omaha, but reports from points below indicate that the river is rising rapidly and already out of its banks and flood­ ing the Iowa and Missouri bottom lands. Reports from all along the lines of the Omaha roads tell of rain and snow in the Black Hills and in Western Ne­ braska and cloudiness all the way to Salt Lake. All trains were late and there are a number of washouts reported, though none of ihem have caused accidents. There is a washout between Beatrice and Lincoln on the Union Pacitic branch, and the Rock Island main line trains are using the Burlington tracks instead. The rain has so filled the approaches of the Mis­ souri Pacific Plattsmouth bridge that the opening of the bridge has been delayed until June. Snow has fallen in Western Nebraska, ranging in depth from six­ teen inches in the northwestern portion to two inches in the southwestern por­ tion of the State. IOWSD* May Seek the Hill*. At Ottumwa. Iowa, a heavy rain has set the Des Moines River booming again. The water has risen rapidly and continues to rise. The rain, it is feared, will swell the river to the highest point since 1856, when all the city except that part on the hills was submerged. Deait Farm Animals Floating: By. The Maumee near Toledo, Ohio, is on the rampage, being higher than was ever known before, except at the floods caused by ice gorge in 1883 and 1881. Parts of buildings, trees, fence rails, dead cattle, hogs, sheep and general debris came down- Reports tell of ex­ tensive devastation at Defiance, Ant­ werp, Napoleon, Fort Wayne, Maumee and Perrysburg. Marengo Island, off Perrysburg, where are many summer cottages, was nearly covered, and six or seven houses have been washed away. H ad Snow in South Dakota. , At Redfield, S. D., quite a heavy snowstorm occurred Tuesday morning, but melted almost as fast as it fell. Rain has been falling all the time since. During the past forty days eight inches of water has fallen there, the heaviest downpour known since the settlement of the country. There has been no dam­ age to crops. Five Children Killed Outright. William Wilkins and wife bnd five children, colored, thinking a storm was brewing, retired Into a cyclone cave at their home in the southwest part of Anthony, Kan, The heavy rain so un­ dermined the house that the roof fell on the sleeping people. Wilkins succeed­ ed in getting out and arousing the neighbors, who assisted him in rescuing the wife alive. The five children, from 6 months to 14 years of age., were taken out dead. .82* Aocoidlng to a Washington the sliver question threatens to eom««p again as a subject of present fegtateftrt interest. The silver men are not dis* poaed to accept their defeat, said there are again in oirctilatlon petitions vrglng the rules committee to briAg out an or­ der to fix a time for a vote on a free- coinage bill. Some fifteen or mor̂ sig­ natures have been obtained to one peti­ tion within the last two days, and Representative Pierce, of Tennessee, who has been the principal mover in the piatter, says that with the signature* obtained several weeks ago ninety- nine names altogether have been seoured. Exclusive of the mem­ bers of the Rules Committee 118 constitute a majority of the Demoorats In the House, so that fourteen names yet remain to be obtained. Mr. Pierce says that he does not know what will be the result of his efforts--that he may fail to secure the requisite number of signatures--but tha£ he intends to keep at work until he becomes convinced that he can not succeed. The aatl-silver men are not giving themselves much concern over the matter,and say that they do not believe the silver bill will again be taken up at this session of Congress. They say they do not believe the requi­ site number of names can be secured; that the House looks upon the sliver question as settled for this session, and Is not in a mood for a renewal of the uglib over Liie Bmiiu bail. SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION. Btxty-el«rhtti Annaal Meeting of the As­ sociation B<sld in Washington. The%ixty- eighth anniversary of the American Sunday-school Union was held in Washingtoa, C. The Hon. William Strong, the retired Justice of the United States Supreme Court, pre­ sided. The Rev. Dr. James1 M. Crowell of Philadelphia -presented the annual report. Sixteen hundred and sixty- four new Sunday schools have been established, with 7,018 teachers and 59,551 scholars. Addresses were made by the Rev. J. IS. McCullagh of Ken­ tucky, WwK. de Groff of Kansas, and the Rev. B. W, Chidkaw, D. D., of Ohio. The latter is 85 yeafs old, and his col­ lege diploma at Miami University was signed fifty-nine years ago by the Rev. Dr. Scott, father oi Mrs. President Har­ rison, who, though 94 years of age, was upon the platform and pronounced the benediotion. TERRIBLE RESULTS PROM MINE EXPLOSION. BEHIUNG SEA TREATY SIGNED. Queen Victoria and Lord Salisbury AlBx Their Signatures. The other afternoon Minister Lincoln drove in a carriage to the Foreign Of­ fice in London, carrying a little leather case under his arm containing a copy of the Behring Sea treaty signed by Presi­ dent Harrison A quarter of an hour later he drove back to the legation with the little case, which then contained a copy of the treaty signed by Queen Vic­ toria and Lord Salisbury. The actual exchange of ratifications occupied only two or three minutes. It took place in the Secretary of State's room overlook­ ing St. James' Park, and Lord Salis­ bury and Mr. Lincoln each signed his copy of the treaty with a new quill pen. The pens, together with the blotting- pad used, were placed in a special bu­ reau for preservation through the ages. EXCITEMENT IN WAUKESHA. 4maU-slEed Riot Between Cltlseas an4 Imported Laborer*. Up to the present it has never been suspected that so innocent a beverage as waters capable of inciting a riot. The town of Waukesha, Wis., however,, where water in clear springs is abund­ ant, has found the beverage productive of a certain quality of disorderly con­ duct. A party of 300 laborers, who went thither the other night by instruc­ tion of a company of spring owners to begin laying pipes whereby to conduct water to Chicago, received a discourag­ ing reception. The whole town arose from its beds to discourage them. Fire- bells were rung, the residents dashed to the scene of action, the fire-hose was mercilessly trained on the incoming la­ borers, and the latter finally gave up the battle for the night. Selling Bogus Convention Tickets. People oiltside of Minneapolis are be­ ginning to realize that the pressure for seats in the convention hall will be great and all sorts of schemes to gain admission will be sprung upon the door­ keepers. An enterprising Chicago swindler, the local executive committee has learned, has printed thousands of fraudulent tickets in that city which he Is disposing of at such prices as he can obtain to the unwary. A Minneapolitan recently came across one of these tickets in the windy city and informed the local committee of the fraud. The Impostor has obtained a fair idea of the Interior of the hall and the numbers of the seats, and has thus been able to per­ petrate his fraud with considerable will. Fatal Duel In Kansas. At Marion, Kansas, J. E. McCarty shot and killed E. A. Gross. A bad feeling had existed between the parties for some time, and they met and quar­ reled. Gross told McCarty to arm him­ self and meet him at an appointed place. McCarty procured a shotgun and met Gross with the above fatal result. Mc­ Carty is a respected citizen and an auc­ tioneer of more than local reputation, while Gross was a butcher. 4.00 i 8.75 4 •»1*« .MM » 5.03 0 580 *< 5.50 World's Valr Notes.

An Awful Ulsastetv $h« most horrible explosion ever known in the Pacific Northwest occurred at the coal mines of the Northern Pa­ cific Railroad Company at Roslyn, a small town about four miles from the main line of the Northern Pacific, 107 miles from Tacoma. At least 42 men are believed to have been killed. Ex­ citement in the town borders on a state of frenzy and has extended throughout the State. Nothing like it has ever been known anywhere in that portion of the country, and from all parts of the State news of intense interest in the matter Is being received. Many dead- bodies,' aceordlng to a dispatch, have already been taken out, and hundreds of people have gathered around the scene of the accident; wives and children of buried men are at the mouth of the mine and acting like maniacs in their terrible distress. Every body that has been taken out UD to this time is terribly disfigured, and many of those buried have been crushed beyond recognition. Some are horrible masses of flesh without a trace OJ. I«6U moiititj left, wliiiw tutiuy OI 1116 unfortunate men are believed to have been blown to atoms. Nearly all of the men were, married and a large number of them had large families. It is thought that the explosion took place when the men were changing shifts. The concussion shook the ground perceptibly and the noise was heard a long distance. Smoke belched from the shaft almost immediately, showing that the mine had taken flre. All the inhabitants of Roslyn were on ther grounds in an incredibly short space of time, and the friends and relatives of the men known to have been in the slope crowded about the mouth of the mine, the women and children crying and the men wringing their hands in helplessness. Ropes were stretched to keep the people back, and a rescu'ng party was hastily formed. In their grief many of the men acted like mani­ acs, and as one body after another, each horribly mutilated, was brought out the wild exclamations of horror and sorrow were terrifying. At midnight seven bodies had been recovered, some of them crushed beyond recognition, and it was known that none of the entombed men were alive. Thirty-three of the dead were married men and had fami­ lies who swarmed about the opening of the tunnel, hoping against knowledge of their loss. While the wives and chil­ dren of the victims waited for the rescue of the bodies a car load of coi&ns, sent from Tacoma by special train, was un­ loaded, and the cofliiis were laid side by side near the tunnel awaiting occupants. If anything could add to the horror of the situation it is the fact that most of the families of the dead are in destitute circumstances. For several weeks the camp has been dull on account of the light demand for coal, and as few of the men were provident, it is feared that much suffering will be experienced un­ less aid from elsewhere is sent. When the work of rescue began it was found that the entire interior of the mine was clogged with debris, and nothing could be done until a new air shaft could be put in. Deadly fumes issuing from the mine ' stifled all who entered. When the thiid level of the slope had been reached and several bodies had been found, badly mangled and blackened; the presence of a small fire which was roasting some of the corpses was noticed. This gave rise to the belief that the explosion was caused by fire in the mine. Manager John Kangley, formerly of Illinois, says the gas accumulated in the slope where new levels were being driven and before connections were made with the air shaft the exposure of damp to a blast or match could have caused the explosion. Inspectors were continually on guard in the mine and reported no accumulation of gas on the levels and Kangley says it will probably never be known exactly what caused the explosion. ASSASSINATED BY RUSTLESS. SENATE AND HOUSE OP SENT AT IV ES. Foreman of a Ca.tlo Ranch Shot Down from Ambush. The rustlers are evidently determined to beat the big cattle men in this sec­ tion, says a Buffalo, Wyoming, dispatch, declaring they must either abandon their property or employ as foreman only those who bear their indorsement. George Wellman, foreman of the H. A. Blair cattle company, better known as the Hoe outfit, was shot by a concealed as­ sassin and instantly killed on the main road and about thirty miles south of here. The only known reason for the crime is that he has been notified to leave the country and has refused to obey the order. The first news of the tragedy was brought in by Tom Hathaway, an em­ ploye of the same company. He says he and Wellman started for Buffalo on horseback. When about twelve miles out and passing through a rough, broken country a shot was fired and his horse sprang ahead and ran away with him. While trying to subdue the frightened animal he heard several ether shots, and, glancing bacx, 6aw his companion fall from his saddle. He started back along the road and met Woilman's horse, which he mounted. He saw Wellman lying in the road motionless, but was afraid he would share the same fate if he approached nearer, sdi he came in and gave tho alarm. 0 There are probably one hundred peo­ ple in this county, business men and others, who have br en warned to leave, and doubtless others will be killed un­ less they at once seek a more congenial climarte.
