Bosrox, _ct. 1‘2. —— 3. tenement house
fire, thought, to be of incendiary origin,
whlc was discovmed early today at 218
Hanover street, caused eight of the unfor-
tunate inmates to hurl themselves from
the building, with the result that two are
dead, two are fatally injured and five are
severely hurt. The house is a four story
wooden building and is used as a. Swed-
ish boarding house. When the fire was dis-
covered, the interior of the house was a
mass of flames. The occupants became
panic stricken, and if it had not been for
the timely efiorts of the policemen of sta-
tion 1 the death list would have been
considerably _ larger.
The following is the list of the killed
and injured:
Dead—Charles Swanson, 30 years old,
jumped from the third story; he was dead
when picked up. William Coupeiser, was
badly burned about the body and died at
the Massachusetts General hospital this
afternoon.
Injured. —A11gust Johnson, aged 19, cut
and burned. fatally injured: Frederick
Caulter, badly bruised and fatally hurt;
Annie Northwell, 30 years old, badly
burned about the hands, face and neck;
Fred lesen, burned and bruised; Louis
sufiering from shock; Samuel
Thornton, slightly burned.
. The five last named are at the hospital
and will recover.
TRAIN WRECKERS AT “703K.
Several Santa. Fe Railroad Cars Derailed
by Robbers Near Denver.
DENVER, Oct. 10. —A bold attempt was
made seven miles south of Denver to wreck
an eastbound santa Fe passenger train
for the purpose of robbery, it.is believed.
Spikes were pulled from the rails, and.
the engine, baggage car, coach, chair car
and sleeper ran off on the ties. The dam-
age was trifling. and no one was hurt, but
the track was blocked about five hours.
The ground for the robbery theory is
that a man called at South Denver early
in the night and intimated that the train
was to be wrecked and robbed. Orders
were given for it to proceed slowly,-but it
was not supposed that the attempt would
be made so near the city. and the train
was running at a speed of eight miles an
hour. There is yet no clew' to the mis-
creants.
A Boy Train “'reclror.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 12.—Grandy Moore, a 1‘)-
year-old white boy, was arrested at Bells,
Tenn, charged with wrecking the fast
mail on the Louisville and Nashville road
on Monday, in which several persons were
injured, some probably fatally. He con-
fessed his crime and said that he opened
the switch _to seo what would happen to
the train.

MANY BOILERS BURST.
A Frightful and Fatal Series of Ex-
plosions at Shamokin.
FOUR KILLED INSTANTLY.
Two Other Men Will Probably Die, While
Several Are Painfully Injured—The
Accident Came Upon the Em-
ployees Without Warning.
SHAMOKIN, Pa, Oct. 12.-—Four men
were killed, two were fatally injured and
several others were painfully burned by a
disastrous boiler explosion that occurred
at the _ Henry Clay colliery early today.
The entire steam supplying plant of the
mine, consisting of 36 boilers, was totally
demolished, and in addition to the mono-
tary loss, which will aggregate $30,000,
the Henry Clay, Big Mountain, Sterling
and Peerless collieries will be unable to
resume operations for at least a month.
The explosion is the worst of its kind
that has ever occurred in this region, and
its cause is a mystery. The dead and in-
jured are:
Thomas Carr, fireman, leaves widow
and three. children; one arm and one leg
blown OE and body out in two.
William Boyle, fireman, leaves widow;
horribly crushed and lacerated about the
body; dead when recovered.
Willem E. Slick. aged 18 years, neck
broken and both hips fractured; died few
minutes after being found.
Peter Heck, fireman, side of head
crushed and severe internal injuries; can-
not recover. '
Jacob J. Didian, water boss of Mahanoy
valley, married; scolded and crushed about
the abdomen and legs; cannot recover.
John McLaughlin, fireman, both legs
broken and head crushed; died two hours
after the accident.
John I’lcnkenstein, married, received
very serious injuries about body; may re-
cover.
Dennis Brennan, scraper boy, struck in
the face with brick; not dangerous.
William Quimm, lampman of Spring-
field, out on head by flying bricks.
, Michael Harris, switch boy, Spring-
field. injured by flying bricks. ,
A Terrific Explosion.
It was about 7:25 when the workmen at
the Henry Clay colllery were startled by a
heavy explosion. At the some moment a
portion of the boiler house roof was blown
into the air, and flying bricks, sheets of
corrugated iron and the big boilers were
hurled in every direction. Several other
explosions took place. The air was filled
with escaping steam and debris for a
radius of 400 yards. and many of the em-
ployees narrowly escaped death. The re-
port of the explosion was heard in this
city, a distance of more than two miles.
The terrible accident came upon the boiler
house employees without warning. and
only one of them, 8. Pole, escaped unin-
jured. The boi-lors were buried between
the mass of debris, and some of the bodies
were not recovered for two hours. The
boiler on the western end of the house is
supposed to have been the first to explode,
and then the adjoining boilers went up in
quick sur cession, the repeated explosions
resemblizz -: the roar of heavy artillery.
Only ninc of the 36 boilers escaped de-
struction. and even these were so badly
damaged that they are useless. Many of
the boilers were torn apart near the cen-
ter by the terrible force, and the two sec-
tions would then take different directions.
One-half of a boiler was hurled a. full
quarter of a mile and lodged in the slush
bank northwest of where the boiler house
Another tool: a similar
direction, crashed through the side of the
breaker and lodged against the scraper
line. Another crushed through the tip-
house and came near killing several em-
ployees. William Clements, the engineer,
had a close call at the latter place, as the
big boiler came through the engine house
roof and full on the floor just a foot in
front of him. The safetylamp house that
stood near the top of the shaft was re-
duced to splinters, and that William
Quimm, theglamp man, escaped with his
life is miraculous.
Four collierics will be thrown into idle-
hess by the accident for a month or six
,weeks, so that the total loss will aggre-
gate $100, 000.
Another Boiler Explosion. ,
DEXTER, Md. Oct. 12.—News has
reached hero of the explosion of the boiler
of D. H. Hodges’ saw and grist mill, 21
miles northwest of Dexter, killing three
men and seriously wounding another.
Th3 killed are two Johnson brothers and
a young man named Wilkinson. The ex-
plosion was terrific, the top of the boiler
being blown to a hillside some distance
away. '

Contest \Vith an Offer of 841,000.
The Side Beta “’1“ Amount

NEW YORK, Oct. l2.—There now seems
to be very little doubt that, barring acci-
dent to either man, Heavyweight Cham-
pion Jim Corbett will defend his title
against Bob Fltzslmmons, the Australian
who recently defeated Dan Creedon in two
rounds in New Orleans.
J acksonvillo, Fla, will again be the
scene of a fist encounter, as the represent-
atives of the Florida Athletic club suc-
needed in making arrangements which
proved satisfactory to both pugillsts, and
the club can name any day after July 1,
1895, to bring the contest ofl.
At 10 o’clock Fitzsimmons, accompanied
by his 'manager, Captain Glori. and a
number of sports from Phlladelphiawent
to The Herald ofiicc. There they were met
by Manager William A. Brady, who was
also surrounded by a number of admirers
of the “manly art.”
Corbett was not to be seen anywhere in
the building, and the rumor gained cirou- _
lotion that he would not be on hand.
“Pompadour J im.” however, entered the
room at 10:15. He walked immediately
over to the table at which “Fitz” was sit-
ting. and after removing his overcoat said:
“Well, Fitz, I am here to make a
match.”
“That is what I am here for,” replied
Fitz.
Corbett said, “Where is your money?”
Glori replied, “Here is $1,000 to bind a
match.” ,
Corbett immediately pulled out a roll, of
ten $1, 000 bills, and placing them on the
table said: “You people have been talking
about $10. 000 a side. There is my money.
Cover it.” '
Magnnnimoua Corbett.
Corbett finally said, “Well, here, I’ll
put up my $10, 000 now, and you can put
yours up when you like.”
This action on Corbett’s part elicited
words of admiration from the majority of
the spectators. Corbett then said:
“I will fight Fitzsimmons any time aft-
er July 1 of next year and not before. I
am making money on the road and will
not cancel any engagements on any ac-
count. ’ ’
“We think.” said Captain Glori, “that
'you should fight within six months and
defend the championship twice a year. ”
“ You do, do you?” said Corbett.
“You’re very much mistaken, and, what
is more, I hold the championship, and I
have aright to dictate my terms. It is
only a waste of words and time to talk of
a fight before July, and, as for the side
bet. it don’t cut any figure as far as I am
concerned. ’7
Fitzsimmons and his manager finally
consented to have the fight come off after
the let of July, and the men, with their
managers, retired to a side room for a few
minutes’ private conversation. When they
came out again. they came over to the tax-
ble, and the articles of agreement were
discussed. Both men announced their
willingness to sign. but as that would be
against the laws of this state the articles
will not be signed here.
There were three men in the room readyr
to make ofiers of purse—viz, Captain Wil-
liams of the Auditorium. New Orleans;
President Scholl of the Olympic club of
the same city. and Joe Vendig of the
Florida Athletic club.
“Ngw, gentlemen.” said Corbett “we
have agreed to fight. and we want t: .
know who will of. or the largest purso.’
Scholl said. “The Olympic club wi ll
give $25,000. ”
Joe V endig raised the ante and said."
he threw five $2}. 000 bills on the tat-13.
“The Florida Athletic club will give it: 0.
000. and here are $5 000
Afters. few lillztlllfics. hesitation rend.-
said, “I’ll give t-L0,l;t)(i-.” I endig " 1.. >9 ’
him one better and said, "I will." give
,’Li_-
000.” The bidding was going at n 121,-:
pace, and Scholl shouted, “I’ll give $5}!
000.”
Scholl said that he had not got a deposit
with him, but that he would put it. up in
a short time. "But,” said Vendlg,‘ tap-
ping the $5, 000 on the table with his fin-
gers, “here is my money, aim it talks ”
Corbett immediame said.‘ 1': l s 311 the
articles for Jacksonville, as I am perfectly ‘
satisfied.”
Fitz demurred for awhile, but finally
gave in, ‘After a few more remarks on
both sides- Corhett turned to Fltzsimmons
and said: “Fitz, you said that when you
met me you would shake your finger in
my face. ”
“No, I did not, ” said Fitz doggedly.
“Oh, no. you‘re too much of a gentle-
man,” said Corbett sneeringly, “but if I
made such a remark I would make it
good.”
The noses of the pugllists were not’slx
inches apart, and it looked as if a. storm
was about to burst, .but nothing came of
it. The men agreed to accept the offer of
the $41,000 purse made by Vendig, who
said, "Out of this purse we will pay the
training expenses of both men, $1. 000
each. ”
As soon as all the details had been gone
through Fitzsimmons grasped Corbett’s
hand and said: “Well, now we are
matched, Jim, and may the best man win.
If you beat me, or I beat you, no matter
which of us is the winner. we will be good
friends, perhaps better than we have ever
been.”
“That is right, old man. No doubt we
will,” responded Corbett. The men and
their managers then separated, the Fitz-
simmons party going to Philadelphia and
Corbett, accompanied by Steve O’Donnell,
to Utica.
