PITTSBURG, Dec. 19.—By an ex- Plosion of «as in the Soho Furnace of Jones & Laughlin, near Brady street, this city, at 6.20 o'clock this morning, nine men were burned to death and five more injured.

Tons of molten metal, cinders and slag were thrown over the unfortun- ate mea on top of the structure. The bodies of some of the dead and many of the injured were strewn about the yard beneath the furnace, some of the dead having fallen from the slippery roof to the yrennd Eye-witnesses of the accident that ft was the most horrible sight they ever witnessed. When the explosion took place there Was one tremendous report. The murky heavens were tlluminated with a great sheet of flame, showing the men on top of the furnace running about, gesticulating wildly. The flames and hot metal looked Uke ® vetcano In action. Five of the men were blown off the top of the furnace, and, strange as !t 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 held on tenaciously, linging to the railing until their fingers ‘were burned off. ey then fell to thi ea’ ell to the roof of the mill Stung to Words fu MS Youn sen bays Mg WAS Very Hanoy wow Te Bow “It ds true.” sald Senator Thomas C.
