NINE MEN ROASTED
Oa Top of Flaming Furnace They
Meet Horrible Death.
WHELMED BY AN EXPLOSION
Heavy Shower of White-Hot Metal
Rained Down Upon the Unfcr
tunates—Accident Was of Unus
ual and Unique Nature.
Ten men were burned to death and
four injured by an explosion of gas at
the Soho furnace of Jones and Laugh
lin at Pittsburg, Pa., Thursday. The
explosion was caused by a slip in the
furnace, the gas and flames belehinf
upward through the bell.
There were nineteen men on thq fur
nace when the explosion occurred.
Fifteen of them were caught in the
flames. Two of them escaped with
slight Injuries. The other four were
the regular men employed as top fill
ers and escaped without injury.
Cauee of the Horror.
The explosion was caused by the gas
becoming encased in a crust of cin
der forming at the bottom of the fur
nace. A wheelbarrow containing ore
had been sent up to the men to dump
into the bell of the furnace. They
pushed it over too far and it rolled
into the hopper. The barrow weighed
900 pounds and was too heavy for the
four men to raise. The fifteen labor
ers, all Hungarians, were then sent up
to assist them. Had it not been for
the barrow accident no one would
have been hurt, as the regular men
know how to protect themselves at
such times as similar explosions are of
frequent occurrence.
The explosion occurred in ono of
the big blast furnaces. The men were
at work at the top of the furnace, over
120 feet from the ground. Gas, which
had accumulated in the furnace, ex
ploded and tons of molten metal and
slag were thrown over the unfortun
ate men on the top of the structure.
All the men made a rush for the eleva
tor, but it had gone down and there
was no escape. The jump meant cer
tain death and to remain on the plat
form was jus-t as certain doom.
Tons of molten metal and flames fell
upon the men and burned nine of
them to death. Their bodlts fell to
the roof of the mill, 85 feet uelow, ev
ery bone broken and an unrecogniza
ble mass of human flesh.
A Horrible Sight.
Eye witnesses say that it was the
most horrible sight tney ever wit
nessed. They say that when the eplo
sion took place there was one great
loud report and the heavens were 11
-luminated with a sheet of flame, show
ing the me . on top of the furnace run
ning about gesticulating wildly. The
flames and hot metal looked like a
volcano In action. Five of the men
were blown off the top of the furnace,
and, strange as it may seem, these
men are the ones that are still living.
The others hung on the railing, some
on the outside, others on the inside,
until their clothing was burned off.
Two of the victims hanging on the out
side held on and remained tenaciously
clinging to the rails until their fingers
were burned off. They then fell to
the roof of the mill, dead. Seven of
the victims were found dead on the
platform of the cupola.
These were completely denuded of
clothes by the flames and their bodies
were burned almost to a crisp.

McMillln Has Talk With Harvey Lo

Governor Benton McMillln, of Ten

LONG WITH MAJORITY
Naval Secretary Acts Arbitrarily
In Disposing of Schley Case.
REQUESTS TO REOPEN REFUSED
Dewey's Report Is Entirely Ignored
And Only Majorty Findings.
Are Considered by Navy
Department.
A Washington special says: Sccrc
tary Long has disposed Anally of the
Schley case, so far as the navy de
partment is concerned, by acting upon
the findings and conclusions of the
court of inquiry.
He approves the findings of fact and
! the opinion of the full court; he up
j proves the majority opinion where
there i6 a difference In the court; ho
holds that the court could not have en
tered into a consideration of tho ques
tion of command at the battle of San
tiago, and finally he accepts the recom
mendation that no further proceedings
shall be had.
The secretary also has declined the
application of Admiral Sampson’s
counsel to enter upon an Inquiry into
the question of command and has noti
fied Admiral Schley's counsel of that
fact as a reason for declining to hear
them on that point.
Secretary Long's approval of tho
majority report was as follows:
“The department has read the testi
mony in this case, the arguments of
counsel at trial; the court’s findings
of fact, opinion and recommendation;
the individual memorandum of the pre
siding member; the statement of ex
ceptions to the said findings and opin
ion by the applicant; the reply to said
statement by the judge advocate of
the court and his assistant, and the
brief this day submlttel by counsel for
Rear Admiral Sampson traversing tho
presiding member’s view as to who
was In command at the battle of San
tiago.
And, after careful consideration, the
findings of fact and tho opinion of the
full court are approvec.
"As to the points on which the pre
siding member differs from the opin
ion of the majority of the court, the
opinion of the majority Is approved.
“As to the further ex;.cession of his
views by the same ::wuber with re
gard -to the questions of command O’,
the morning of July 3, 1898, and of the
title to credit for the ensuing victory,
the conduct of the court in making no
(lading and rendering no opinion on
those questions is approved—Indeed
it could with propriety take no other
course, evidenceon these questions,
during the inquiry, having been ex
cluded by the court.
“The department approves tho re
commendation of the court that no fur
ther proceedings be had In the prem
ises.
“The department records Its appre
ciation of the arduous labors of the
whole court. JOHN U. LONG,
"Secretary of the Navy.’*
Order Dissolving Court.
Secretary I^ong Saturday afternoon
issued tho formal order dissolving the
; Schley court of inquiry. The order
was communicated at once to Admiral
Dewey, president of the court, who ac
knowledged Its receipt and said that
In conformity with the order of the sec
■ retary he had announced the dissolu
tion of the court.
Following is the -text of the letter
sent by Secretary Long to Admiral
Dewey:
“The court of inquiry of which
you are the president convened
by department's order July 26,
1801, for the purpose of Inquir
ing Into the conduct of Rear Ad
miral (the commodore) W. S.
Schley, U. S. N., retired, during tho
recent war with Spain, and the
events connected therewith, Is this
day dissolved. You will Inform
the other members of the court
and the Judge advocate accord
ingly. Very respectfully,
“JOHN D. LONG,
"Secretary.”
“To the Admiral of the Navy.”
FANIE BRYANT PARDONED.
Two FearfulTragedics In Birmingham,
Alabama, Are Recalled.
On recommendation of the pardoning
board the governor of Alabama has
pardoned Fannie Bryant, the mulatto
woman serving a life sentence as the
accomplice of Dick Hawes, the engi
neer who was hung at Birmingham In
1889 for the murder of his wife and
two little daughters.
In resisting the mob which under
took to storm the Jail and lynch Hawes
nine men were killed by the sheriff
and his deputies.
Fannie Bryant was washer woman to
the Hawes family.
RAYNOR HIGHLY INDIGNANT.
Characterize# Ruling of Secretary
Long as “Arbitrary and Tyrannical.”
A Baltimore dispatch says: Isldor
Raynor, attorney general of Maryland,
and counsel for Admiral Schley, when
shown the decision of Secretary Ixmg
Saturday, declared that “the whole
proceeding is arbitrary and tyranni
cal” and manifested great surprise and
indignation.
BASE TREACHERY OF FIUPINOS.
While Passing as “Loyal” Upholders
of American Authority, They
Secretly Scheme to do Murder.
General Chaffee, military governor of
the Philippines, in a review of one of
a number of courtmartlal eases In the
islands the records of which have been
received at the war department, makes
the following statement:
“History affords no parallel of a
whole people thus practically turning
war traitors and In the genius of no
other people was ever found such mas
terful powers of secrecy and dissimula
tion; but It Is needless to say that no
powerful state was ever erected or
ever can be erected on such Immoral
and unenlightened foundations.”
The case which brought forth this
comment from leneraJ Chaffee was
one wherein seven natives were tried
jointly on the charge of murder. The
accused were soldiers In the Insurgent
army and after defont by tho Ameri
can army in tho field abandoned even
tho show of open opposition, such as
half of the uniformed guerrilla bands
make, and took up their residence at
Tay Tay, In Luzon, a placo protected
by an American garrison.
Then, following tho proclaimed pol
icy of the Insurgent chiefs, they pro
ceeded to organize secretly a bolo
hand. When authorization had been
given to establish civil government the
band came forward under the leader
ship of a resident and padre and were
elected municipal officers of Tay Tay.
In all lawful matters they served with
the appearance of loyalty to tho Ameri
can government, while at the same
time they labored secretly and dili
gently In tho Interests of the Insurrec
tion. This dual form of government,
says General Chaffee, existed every
where In strongly garrisoned cities
like Manila, us well as the smallest
barrio. Tho municipal officers of Tay
Tay next entored upon a series of mur
ders and continued their deadly work
until the growing number of myste
rious disappearances led to the discov
ery of the perpetrators by tho Ameri
can authorities.
“One undeniable truth,” sayH Gener
al Chaffee, "stands out In tills case
as In hundreds of like cases of murder
—that the average natlvo of these Is
lands has not more than the merest
rudimentary conception of his Individ
ual rights and duties as a man; and
no one knows this so well as tho wily
chiefs who use him for their nefarious
lpurpnseB.”
Six of tho seven narlvos were sen
tenced to bn hanged, but General Chaf
fee commuted the sentence of three of
them to imprisonment at hard labor
for life.
Priest Member of the Gang.
The seventh native, Leonardo de Bo
sov, a regularly ordained priest, asked
for and was granted a separate trial.
At this trial De Posoy, who was held
to to the chief aggressor In the Tay
Tay trouble, took advantage of tho
loophole which appeared to be afforded
by his position as priest by contending
that while the participators In the
wholesale murders In Tay Tay would
confess the same at confessional, he
was compelled by his sacred office to
keep silence. General Chaffee pro
nounced this defense of no value, say
ing that the ’’confessional does not lay
upon any priest or layman the obliga
tion of suppressing knowledge of
crimes being committed by third par
ties the consummation of which could
have been prevented without violating
tho secrecy of the confessional."
ATKINSON FAILED TO SIGN.
At Last Moment Street Rallv/ay Con
solidation Agreement Fell Through,
An Atlanta dispatch says: At. tho
eleventh hour a misunderstanding be
tween the special committee qf coun
ell and H. M. Atkinson caused a hitch
In tho terms of the agreement looking
to the consolidation of the properties
of the Atlanta Railway and Power
Company, the Atlanta Rapid Transit
Company and the Georgia Electric
Light Company.
It was generally understood that, tho
terms had been agreed to by all par
ties concerned, but It developed that
Mr. Atkinson declined to sign the
agreement.
OPTIMISTIC IS TAFT.
Governor of Philippines Makes Fare
well Speech oo Leaving Manila,
A Manila special says: Over 4,000
members of the federal party called on
Governor Taft Friday to bid him fare
well and to wish him a safe return.
The governor, reclining on a lounge,
addressed 150 of the most prominent
of his visitors, saying that he was
touched ami honored by their presence.
The organization, he added, had done
much toward bringing about peace and
It argued more for the success of Amer
ican labors than anything else during
the recent critical times.
A88I8TANT WARDEN 8EI.ECTED.

SAMPSON CLAIMS ALL
Insists that He was the “Whole
Thing” at Santiago Battle.
WILL LIGHT DEWLY’S OPINION
Lemly and Hanna File Report Uphold
ing Majority Finding and Claim
ing That Same Vvas Just
and Proper.
A Washington special says: Tho ob
jection of Admiral W. T. Sampson to
the portion of Admiral Dewey's report
of tho Schley court of Inquiry, In which
ho says Admiral Schley was in com
mand at the battle off Santiago and
entitled to the credit for tho victory,
was tiled with Secretary Long Friday
by E. S. Theall, of counsel for Admiral
Sampson. It Is signed by Stayton and
Campbell and E. S. Theall, counsel for
Admiral Sampson, and Is addressed to
Secretary Long. In part It 1 b as fol
lows;
“Sirs: As counsel for Rear Admiral
Sampson we have tho honor to request
that the department, for the reasons
below stated, strike out or specifically
disapprove that portion of Admiral
Dewey’s opinion filed In connection
with tho proceedings of tho Schley
court of Inquiry, In which he stated his
view to be that Commodore Schley waB
In absolute command at the naval bat
tie of Santiago.
“1. Commodore Schley was not in
command nt. that battle.
“The di: position of the forces at the
beginning of tho battle according to
Commodore Schley’s own ntatement,
places Admiral Sampson In command.
“2. The president of -the United
States and the navy department had
decided that Admiral Sampson was in
command at that battle and Commo
dore Schley second In command.
“This fact was before the court; for
tho secretary’s letter to the senate
(dated February 6 1899) states that
the Spanish squadron was destroyed
"by our licet, under his (Sampson’s)
command,” and “the advancement of
Commodore Schley was proposed in
recognition of his services ns next In
rank at the victory of Santiago.
“3. The question as to who com
manded at Santiago was not referred
to the court for consideration, Kvi
deuce on the point, was excluded.
"If Schley was In command, Admi
ral Sum;..an was not .and If the ques
tiou as totwlileh was In command was
to be considered by the court, surely
Admiral Sampson became an Interest
ed party and under the precept was
entitled to the hearing which was re
peatedly refused him.
Lemly and Hanna Claim Majority Re
port Is Just.
During the day Judr - Advocate Lem
Iy and Solicitor Hanna also submitted
to Secretary Long their report upon
the bill of objections filed by Admiral
Schley, through Ills counsel, to tho
findings or the Schley court of Inquiry.
1 In substance this report Is an argu
j I ment supplementary to before the argument the court
made by the writers
. of Inquiry. The principal points are
an insistence upon their contention
that their first report Is the unanimous
report of the court of Inquiry; that the
court was Justified in rejecting Admi
ral Schley’s evidence by the number
of witnesses who took Issue with him,
and that, there Is no sufficient reason
for a reopening of the case as request
ed by Admiral Schley. If adopted, the
report will be forwarutu to Admiral
Schley.
The report, as appears from Its text,
Is solely that, of Judge Advocate Gen
j oral Lemly and Solicitor Hanna, and
as such was laid before Secretary
Long. Tho secretary stated he would
'
withhold action on the other matters
1 pending connected with this Ihsuc,
Iii the event that Secretary Long
approves the recommendation of Lap
Lemly and Mr. Ilanria, it Is stated
upon reliable authority that the eng
Kcstion will l»- made to the president
hy Admiral Schley's counsel that he
! appoint a hoard of three eminent law
yers, one to he r,elected by himself, and
one each to bn selected by Admiral
Hchley and Admiral Sampson, this
board to weigh the evidence and report
to the president.

THE CITY BARBER 8HOP.
When you wish an easy shave,
As good as barber ever gave,
Just call on me at ray Saloon
At morning, eve or noon.
I cut and dress the hair with grace
To suit the contour of the face;
My room is neat and towels clean,
Scissors sharp anil razors keen.
And everything f think you'll find
To suit the face and please tho
mind,
And all my art and skill can do
If you Just call I’ll do for you.
—J. H. Campbell, Proprietor.
THEIR LITTLE SPAT.
Boggs—I hear you have fallen out
with your sweetheart.
Joggs—Yes. She got an idea into her
head that 1 was angry at her, and it
made me angry to have her think I was
unreasonable enough to get angry at
