Eleven men suployed about the mill were scattered abiout the en- giue room, eacing their n%nday lun- cheon, when the boiler exploded with extraordinary violence, completely wreoking the mill, distributing the iron plates of the bollers in various distances from a few feet to a hun- dred yards, and killing eight of the cloven men and wounding the other throe. One body was blown into the river and two more were hurled a dik- tance of two hundred yarde, of the men were actually blown into mince-ment and frieads subscquently went about with pails picking up the indistingvishable fragments thrown about, The following persons were instantly killed: Wm, Montgomery, Ohas.

Spoctal Dispateh to Tis Buw. Cnicaao, December 11.—The steel rail mill of the North Chicago rolling mill &t South Chieago, a very large concern, shut down to-day. It is un- doratood 1o be partially owing to the quiet atate of tho rail market, partly w doubt about the tariff action cf congress, and partially because no definite schedule of wsges for noxt year haabeen fixed, The furnaces ara atill in operation. The shutting down of the mill owned by this company in west Chicago was avnounced some time ago, A Ponnsylvania Pool. Spectal Dispateh to Trin Ban.

A mortgage of $20,000,000 is to be created to build the South Pennsylvania, each company named agreeing to set aparl 20 per cent of the gross earnings accruing from the new business to meet the interest on the mortgage, e Chiocago and New York. ies above named are the great commercial centers of the Uniced States, the former containlng in the vicinity of 650,000, and the latter sbout 1,600,000, The number of peo- ple actuslly in Chicago at any one time would doubtless range far above these figures, as its Hoating or tran- elent population is enormous, running up into figures that can hardly be credited, The traflic passing between these two olties daily is very large when one considors that they are within a fraction of 1,000 miles apart. Boston also has a large traffic with Ohicago, and to give an idea of the accommodations necessary to provide for the passenger bueiness alone ke- tween the three cities, we may state that the Michigan Central railroad, whick is the principal thoroughfare betweon the cities named, runs five oxpress trains daily—threo on Sun- days, mado up of fine new day coaches, smoking oars, drawing-room cars, palatial sleeping cars, and last and best the famous dining cars. These dining cars have done moro toward moking the journey from Ohicago to New York, and Bos- ton comfortable and enjoyable than any other modern icvention, as they do away with the old custom of get- ting ont at wayeide stations and de- vouriny poorly cooked victuals, with the momentary expectation of seeing your train pull cut and lenve you, as an accompaniment, In the Michigan Central cars you have plenty of time 10 enjoy your meals, and those who have already dined in the cars hold that it is one of the pleasantest exper- iences in the world to calmly relish a good meal a8 you fly over tle smooth world in panoramic motion before ou, Other great features of the ichipan Central railroad aro that its through tralns for New York and Bos- ton run out of Ohicago along the Michigan Lake front within a stone’s ) | throw of the elty's costlicst mensions, through South Park avd the magie city of Pullman, sffording an exten- sive survey of this marvel of a mar- velous age, ond later passing in full view of Niagora Falls, It is for the latter reason kuown to all travelers as “The Niagara Falls Roate,” —— * That wonderfal catholicon known a8 Mre, Lydia E.
