The names of the other injured are not yet known. The ex- losion occurred just after the noon whistle boa sounded, many of the worknen had left the works to get their dinners. The concussion shook buildings for several squares. In a few minutes a crowd had gu-hered it the wreck and scene was most ag- onizing. Wives, mothers, and children ran about wringing their hands and crying, eagerly SEARCHING FOR THEIR LOVED ONES. The first body removed was that of the en- gineer, Lindbaugh. He was almost unrecog- nizable. Allenbache’s remains were next taken get, and in a few minutes the mangled body of Clark was found. Ranheimer, Howard and an unknown were next removed. The work of rescue is going on vigorously, but at 12 o'clock no more bodies had been recovered. Four are believed to to be still buried beneath the debris and it is feared that more were caught in the wreck. The cause of the explosion has not been learned. The building was a large one-story brick structure. and was formerly occupied by Wm. Smith & Son’s, pipe manufacturers, The plant wasa yaluable one and will prove a complete loss. Nothing remains but a mass of brick, mortar, and timbers, The firm was unable to approx- imate the loss, but it is safe to say that it will reach $20,000. The concussion shattered win- dows and damaged houses for three blocks, and it is a miracle that more people were not killed or injured. ANOTHER BODY RECOVERED. At 2 o'clock the body of James Carton, a helper, aged about twenty-two years and un- married, was taken out, making five dead removed from the ruins. Martin Conners, who was so terribly scalded that he will die, is twenty-four years of age and unmarried, He came to city a short time ago Baltimore.

Cartney was recently mar- ried; the others are single men. THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION A MYSTERY. The boilers were inspected six months ago and were thought to be in first-class condition, The real cause of the explosion will probably never be known, as the engineer was killed outright, and no one else has been found who was in the engine-room at the time the disaster took place. _ rout SWELLING THE STRIKERS’ RANKS. The Great Labor Struggle at Fall River Still Extending. Fatt River, Mass., March 14.—The fourth day of the weavers’ strike opens without any appreciable change in the situation. The weavers still present an unbroken front and the number out to-day is larger than =, The shut-down of the King Philip and American linen mills has added 2,000 to the number of idle operatives and has brought the strike home to the great body of operatives outside of the weavers, ‘There was a meeting on the park this morning, attended by over 4.000 strikers, who mani- fested the same enthusiasm as at the beginning. The members of the executive commit- tee urged the strikers not to go back until all were ready to go. The visit of Mr. Barry, of the state board of arbitration yesterday, was referred to and members of the executive committee reiterated that it was not their fault the strike had not been settled by arbitration. Members ex- pressed the opinion that the board of trade would not accept the proposition to ap- point a committee of conference to meet the weavers. Several expressed the opinion that they might be wil- ling to meet the members of the state board of arbitration, but anything like a recognition of the weavers’ nnion meets with the firm opposi- tion of a majority of the manufacturers. They insist, however, that there is nothing to arbi- trate and before a conference can be arranged the strikers must return to work. Most of the mills will pay off to-morrow. Strikers will hold mass meeting on Saturday. The big struggle is expected to come next week, when there will be no wages coming in. The agents of the mills in Rhode Island and other states are here engaging operative: Cutting Down Iron Workers’ Wages. Leaanow, Pa., March 14.—Following in the wake of iron ufacturers in the Schuylkill valley and points near Philadelphia, firms throughout Lebanon valley have reduced their puddlers 25 cents per ton and other em- sin proportion.

Delegations and all other callers during the morning were informed that the President was obliged to deny himself the pleasure of seeing them this time, It is assumed that he was looking over some of the names that are now filling the pigeon holes of his office. He was busy with the Attor- ney-General, the Postmaster-General and the Secretary of the Interior.

PRICE FOR COMMISSIONER. The claims of Hiram Price for the District commissionership were yesterday supported by « petition from the District Woman's Chris- tian Temperance union, which stated that as the saloon is found on every street, and in some localities on every block of this beautiful city; as their pet and protests against the renewal of various liquor licenses have been al- most universally disregarded in past years, andas last year scores of places were allowed to keep open and sell the whole year in violation of law, were notified to appear at the District offices and have their mone; pray that in the selection of a man to office of District Commissioner the President will nominate a home-loving, God-fe man, one who will consider first the protection of the homes of this city, and the purity of its sons and daughters, petition was be by Mrs. Sarah D. La Feta, president; ¥ Lydia H. Tilton, recording secretary; Mrs. M. acm Mrs, Mary E. Catlin, Mr, W. H. el Eee HIS RIVAL HELPED HIM. How Mr. Wolfsy Got the Governship of Arizona. Mr. Wolfsy, who has just been nominated for governor of Arizona, may not know how much he owes his principal rival. This rival had been decided on for the place. He was well recommended and seemed to possess all the re- quirements of a successful candidate, The Presi- dent had about made up his mind to make the ap- pointment and everything looked lovely. But the other morning the anxious candidate ap- peared at the White House. He carried a pack- age under hisarm, It was something for the President. He was granted an audience and, after shaking hands with General Harrison, undid the kage. It contained a volume handsomely bound in gilt and Russia leather of the most expensive sort. It wasa weg oor looking book, He presented it to th dent, saying it was someth: he would like him to have and would like him to read. He it solicitous that it President put on his desk and when he got a moment to spare looked over the title fe. ‘ih in letters of red and gilt, was inscribed ‘The life of —,, candidate for we of Arizona,” &c. It was the life of the —— who had resented it, and contained many reasons why = should be made governor of Arizona. It, in itself, however, was considered reason — for not appointing him. It was going a little too far. to-day Mr. heres & got the pointment and the other man’s biography Was written in vain. AGAINST SECRET SESSIONS. Why they are not Popular with Office Seekers. The Senate is having a good deal of fun with the visiting public at the public's expense. Naturally some Senators feel annoyed because during open sessions anxious office-seekers send in numerous cards and requests for personal interviews and not unnaturally some of the office-seekers lose their equanimity and think profane thoughts when the Senate shuts itself up for no other reason than to be rid of the importuni- ties of the hungry multitude. The pub! or that portion of it which crowds the corri- dors of the Senate wing would instantly abolish executive sessions if it could, and its PROTESTS AGAINST BEING SHUT OUT are especially loud to-day. With or with- out reason an office-seeker imagines he has @ greater or less claim upon the Senators who represent the state he happens to hail from, and when he comes here and finds that the sought-for influence is, for several hours each day, ‘as carefully shut up as if it was in a burglar proof bank vault, he becomes annoyed, is peevish, fretful, and if re- lief is withheld he swears and does other des- perate things. THE EXECUTIVE SESSION TO-DAY. To-day the Senate went into executive session at 12:15 and at 1 o'clock took a recess until 3, all the time remaining in executive session, although the little business considered was of the most ordinary routine description. Mr. Gibson called up his resolution offered yesterday to send a select committee to inquire into the commercial relations of the United States with Mexico, and speeches were made by Senators Reagan, Gibson, and others, THE PRESIDENT’S ROUTINE.

LYNCHING AT ONANCOCK. MR. CLARKSON’S POSITION. Likely to Succeed Secretary Wanamaker if He Retires. — ’ Ttis probably not true that there is any un- derstanding that Mr. Wanamaker is soon to retire from the Post-Office, and that Mr. Clark- son is to succeed him. The matter has gone only thus far, it is understood, that if Mr. Wanamaker does retire at any time before the expiration of his term Clarkson will succeed him, Mr. Wanamaker, as far as can be learned, has said nothing on the subject, and President Harrison has not for a moment considered the possibility of his retirement. Mr. Clarkson's friends were very anxious that he should peary, veya —- of a neral. was reluctant rote hell beck for some »» and they used the argument with him it was not likely that a man of Mr. Wanamaker's activi! Ship longer: than marcly to ianagurste © geod iP er mere! ite a business policy, get the office in good shi make ‘t Soe out of it’ They it not a violent assumption that he could do all this in a couple of and that he would then want to retire. In that event Clarkson, if he was first assistant. would certainly succeed to the cabinet position. This argument is said to have induced him to accept, but there was no understanding with either the President or mh errs! before the nomination was sent As first assistant Mr. Clarkson will have charge of the appointment of postmasters and will have to do with this class of office-seekers more than any one else. It requires a wonder- ful gift of diplomacy and knowledge of men to conduct that office so as not to cause irritation. It was not until Mr. Stevenson was put in the place that the trouble over these offices ceased under Mr. Cleveland's administration. ‘larkson is regarded as a worthy successor of thie diplomatic official. He is thoroughly fa- miliar with the matter of obligations incurred and favors received during the campaign and is regarded as @ good politician to take charge of just such matters as will come before him.
