Iti addition to those seriously injured a dozen or more employes were slightly hurt. They were taken directly to their homes. The IVnbprihv Injct t??r Company's plant occupied half a square. Iv was omposed ef two bviek buildIngs, separated by a sixtem-foot alley. The rear building, which was com- I pleiHy destroyed, was three stories In height, fifty-four feet in depth, and HH? feet wide. The boiler room was situated at the northwest corner of litis building, on the first ttoor. It was in this building that most of the niauufaeturittg was done. There were four boilers in the plant, two horizontal and two vertical dues. 11 was the horizontal boilers that exploded. The floors and roof of the rear building bulged upward and then crashed down with tlioir heavy loads of inaeldnery and foundry apparatus. Walls, roof and all. dropped into a shapeless mass of delirls. Windows In houses for a block around were broken by the concussion, and flying bricks filled the neighboring yards. A dense cloud of dust arose, and as it s< tiled and was succeeded by denser clouds of smoke and steam, agonized cries began to come from the heap of tangled wood, metal and bricks. Those who were only partly hurled, frantically dug themselves out. Flames broke out almost Immediately, and the horror of tire was added to the suffering of the Imprisoned. A fire alarm was turned In and quickly responded to. Calls wore sent out for all tho ambulances In the city. Fending their arrival neighboring houses wore turned into temporary hospitals. The first ambulances on the scene were totally inadequate to carry those who had been already extricated, and express wagons and similar vehicles were pressed into service. While part of the firemen directed their efforts at the tire, which was burning fiercely at the centre of the wreck, the greater number of them seized axes and crowbars and began prying out the victims who omd.i h<> soon or whose faint cries were audible. The doors and roof had fallen at an angle and formed a huge sort of cover, under which the fire burned lloroely. Not until the firemen had chopped through this did their streams begin to have an appreciable effect on the fla nies. Crndually the rescuers worked their way downward through the pile. A vacant house adjoining the factory was converted into a temporary morgue. In sevoial eases the charred corpses were so hot when they were recovered that they could scarcely be handled. The property loss is about $180,000. The firm carried $70,000 lire and some boiler insurance. The boilers bad been recently inspected, and the engineer was known as one of the most careful and capable men in the city.

I L T ES1)AY, DECEMBER QUARANTINE INEFFECTIVE Secretary Wilson's Proposal to Exclude Foreign Live Stock. Anniinl Kri?ort of th? Srcrrtiirr of Acrrlcttltur? Krcommrniln Agricultural Iuvrrttisrationn in tlio l'liilipitinoK. Washington, 1>. C.?III liis fifili an nunl report Secretary of Agriculture Wilson points out that, in view of the fact that the inspection and quurantinins of cattle import oil to this country affords only a relative guarantee against disease, it might perhaps he well to follow the example of tin.it Britain aud exclude live stock from other countries entirely. Anions other suggestions made in tin* report is one to the effect that agricultural investigations bo undertaken in the Philippine Inlands. Regarding the animal industry llio Secretary goes on to say that the grand total of unjmnls and animal products exported during the past year exceeded $250,000,000 in value. This vast foreign market is only preserved to our producers liy the indefatigable ef forts of the Department and the rigid inspection exercised through the Bureau of Animal Industry. This Bureau Inspected for export 1185.00! > cattle. ll'JS,OOO sheep, 48.1 KK) liors s and mule.;, and nearly lOOO vessels carrying live stock. Imported animals were inspected to the number of lM2.t>00, and. where necessary, were quarantined. Of more than 5,000.000 inspected, the condemned carcasses were about one-fourth of one per cent.; of the 8,500.000 sheep one-tenth of one per cent.; of 114,000.000 hogs, one-third of oue per cent. In the control of Indigenous diseases 1.500.000 inspections were Wilde, and over 45,000 cars were disinfected In the Texas fever service alone. In combating the disease known as "ldaek leg" the bureau distributed more than l,r?<M>,000 doses of vaccine, the result being to reduce losses In affected herds to less than one per cent., whereas formerly It was In most eases about ten per eeut. To aid In detecting tuberculosis In cattle and glanders in horses over 44,000 doses of tuberculin and 7?>oo doses of mullein have been supplied. The Secretary points out the serious evil resulting from a system of State Inspection which, if it became general, would effectually prevent the marketing of live stock in sonic sections and would destroy much of the usefulness of the Federal Inspection. The Secretary announces nn Important extension of the forecast field of the Weather Bureau, which now Includes reports from certain points in the British Isles and on the Continent of Europe, from the Azores, Nassau, Bermuda and Turk's Islnnd. An extension of the forecast to farmers through the rural free delivery is contemplated. SUBMARINE BOAT TEST PERFECT. The Fiilloii'ltr Ma I'mler Water For Fifteen Hour*, Itrrukinc All Itreorill. New York City. ? Willi the win J blowing sixty miles nil hour and an abnormaiiy high tide washing over her, the submarine torpedo lioat Fillton rested on the bottom of IVeonle Bay. The six men who were in her for fifteen hours declared that they never spent a more comfortable night anywhere. They wore ltenr-Adiniral John Lowe. If. S. N. (retired): Captain Frank T. Cable. Mate John Wilson. Engineer John Saunders. Electrician Harry TT. Morrill and Boatswain Charles ltergb. At 7 o'clock p. rn. Captain Cable closed the hatch of the Fulton's conning tower, and the boat sank out of sighr in about fifteen feet of water. All night long she lay tiiere, having Absolutely no communication with the outside world, and utterly Ignorant of the fact that the fiercest gale of forty years was sweeping over Feeonie Bay. The test was made to demonstrate the truth of the contention that the air in the Holland submarine boats is sufficient in quantity and quality to enable their crews to remain under walcr for practically an indefinite pe riod. Food to last all night and bedding enough to make all conifortnble were placed In the hnat, and the men took turns standing watch. Four hour watches were kept. Speaking of his experience Captain Cable said lie thought that the Inst barrier to the acceptance of tlie IIollnnd type of boat as available for use in time of warfare was removed. ITr said he felt sure that the problem of air was one easily disposed of. but he dul not expect such a wonderful detu onstration as that which followed the submersion of the Fulton.
