THANKS EDWARD. HOTHOUSES RUINED. A Disastrous Boiler Explesion in f The scene of the wreck is a picture of almost complete destruction. The solid brick boiler house, the walls of which were nearly two feet thick, is literally level with the ground, and the eightyâ€" feetâ€"bigh brick chimney is scattered over an immense area. The biggest piece of the boiler which exploded is lying in the centre "of a field a quarter of a mile away. A smaller boiler, _ which weighed quite a ton and a half, is inâ€" tact 200 yards away. The field adjacent to the hothouses is covered with broken and twisted pieces of iron pipe and maâ€" chinery, bricks and wood. Smaller scraps of wood and iron are reported to have fallen at various points within a mile of thescene of the wreek. The only theory advanced by Mr. F, H. Miller is that some one had Lbeen "monkeying‘‘ with the valve, and there was a very small amount of water in the boiler. Mr. Miller was very much affected on viewing the remains of what had been among the show hothouses of the distriet. “'%hero is the work of a liftme destroyed in _ a minute," he sai London, â€" April 26â€"A striking in stance of the penetration of Western ideas eastward is an â€" advertisement which appeared a few days ago in a Turkish newspaper.
