A Frightful Catastrophe During: a Fir a in the Railroad Yards at Butte, Montana?The Scene After the Accident Looked Like a Battlefield? Firemen Decimated. During a Are in the Montana Central Rail way yards at Butte, Montana, several oars of powder caught Are and exploded with tremendous force, killing a number of firemen and spectators and maiming many others. There were threa separate explosions, the first two breaking nearly every window within a radius of two miles. The fire attracted a large crowd, and hundreds were standing near when the first explosion occurred. Men and women were mowed down like grass before a sickle,but many were stunned by the foroe of the terrific explosion. Debris frofn oars and adjoining buildings was scattered high in the air for half a mile away, many of the flying articles striking people in the crowd. On the day after the tragedy it was certain that no less than sixty, and perhaps as many as 100, were killed. At least fifty were Injured. About fifty bodies were recovered. Fifty more were then missing. Many were so mangled as to baffle identification. The dead, 60 far as identified, are: J. B. Miller, attorney. Salmon City, Idaho; J. D. Cameron, Fire Maishal; George Flfer, fireman ; Jack Sloan, fireman ; William McGee, fireman; C. E. Tracey, Fred Krembaok, J. J. Enright, J. J. McHale, Robins, ? Cousaque.

It was 9.55 p. m. when the Fire Department was called out to fight a fire In the Butte Hardware Company's warehouse. There was a rumor that there was powder In the buildings, but this was denied when the firemen reached the scene. At 10.05, when the firemen had barely started to work, there was a terrific explosion. The powder in the warehouse had blown up. Among the killed by the explosion were three of the firemen. After the first shock their comrades bravely returned to the work, while the few spectators, who bad not become panio-6tricken and run away, assisted in removing the bodies of the killed and Injured from the proximity of the flames. Ten minutes later came a seoond explosion, almost equal in volume to the first, spreading death among scores of citizens. Parts of bodies were hurled hundreds ol feet away. A man near the Northern Pacific water tank narrowly escaped being' struck by tne leg ana taiga 01 a numou being. Five minute* later there woe a third exBloelon, bat It was a mild one, and it la beeved that very few, if any, were Injured by It- , Tho soene after the exploslona reeemblod a battlefield. The dead were atrewn everywhere, and the orlee and groane of the In* lured and dying were pltlral to hear. Mutilated bodiea and llmbi almost literally covered the apaoe between the Northern Paclflo and the OreAt Northern depota, a apace of 800 feet. Bouiea In the vlolnlty were wreoked aa If by a oyolonp. On* man of the reeoulng oorpe gathered twenty-aeven dead bodies to ono place. Eight were In another. Two and three were In groupa here and there. Every vehlole in the olty waa brought Into nervioe to sorry Away the score* ot dead And the hundred* or Injured. The hoapltAla were filled. The apAre rooma in the hotela were takau, and private houaea were thrown open where It Wtta necessary.

Regarding the removal of cotton mills to the South, T. Jefferson Coolldge, of Boston, [Muss., Secretary of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, says: i ''This Southern movement Is perfectly (natural. Labor at the South Is a great deal [lower than In the North, the mills are near ,the cotton fields and tnere is a great Bavin* rln freight rates. Again, Southern roads |take cotton as fifth class, while Northern iroads take it as second and third class, making a big difference; then there is a great [difference In fuel. Labor is the great saving of all, and it is claimed a saving ot two ioents per pouni can be made. The product !of the Southern mills is sent mostly to Chicago and Br. Louis. I "I think that Southern mills will Increase. We are hampered here by trade unions, strikes and legislation, making it more difficult for us to mHnnfactura at a profit, and iuuless the Legislature of this State, instead fof doing all it can to injure manufacturers, turns around and assists th*m, there will bft a further loss of business. Fine oroods can jbe made cheaper in the South as well as jcoarse goods. It is claimed that Southern [operatives are not as skilled as Northern (Operatives, and that it takes too long to educate them, but this is false. Southern opieratives are just us good in every respect, ;and it to only a question of time when fine [goods will be ma le in the South." ; The New England mills that now anticipate building in the South are the Massachusetts, Bott, Dwlght, Hsrrimao and | Whit tier mills.

Consul Mason Reports on the Great Diphtheria Cure. Frank Mason, United States Consul at Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, has sub. mitted to the Department of State an Interesting report on antl-toxlne. At Frankfort is located the only establishment where It has been produced commercially in quantities adequate to meet the rapidly increasing demand. The establishment utilizes the blood of Beventy-slx horses and has a trained corps of more than fifty men employed in this one work, producing at present about 2000 doses per day, and by tho end of this month it will supply any demand. It is absolutoly requisite that the horses be young, vigorous and physically perfect. Every new horse is carefully Isolated for a time to test for inherent disease, however slight, that i might be transmitted to the human body. A surprising quantity ot blood can be drawn from h. stroni?. healthv horse, runninirup to ten liters (21.13 pints) in two days, and'one horse was used for four years and is still in good condition. Tho anti-toxine Improves with ag<.\ at least during the first two months, and the German physicians no longer use It fresh, when it is apt to causa a skin eruption. An early application, however, is of the utmost importance. In seventy-two cases of children treated within two lays of the first appearance of diphtheria but two cases were fatal, and the death rate in such cases is placed at four per cent.

"President Scott, of the Cincinnati Southern, wns a very clever Englishman, and mnch wittier than Englishmen usually are," said a Kentnokian the other day to a Philadelphia Record -writer: "When he first took hold of the Cincinnati Southern he was greatly annoyed by the claims for horses and cattle killed by trains of the road on their way through Kentucky. It seemed as though it were not possible for a train to run north or south through Kentucky without killing either a horse or a cow. And every animal killod, however scrawny, scrubby or miserable it may have been before accident, always in the claims subsequently presented was the best blood in Kentucky.

"Of all the <qneer persons of this queer world, the undertaker, I believe, meets his full quota," so a Republic reporter -was told by a man wearing a funeral expression on his face and black gloves on his hands, who came from a small town in a Western State to attend-the meeting of the Association of Undertakers. "One of the queer persons is a wealthy woman who lives in my town. One day she came into my rooms, and, as the tears coorsed down her sad face, she managed to tell me, between sobs, that she wanted a coffin that was covered with royal purple velvet. I knew that her husband had been ill for some time and was not expected to live, bo I began to offer a word of con dolence on acoount of his aeatn, as she and her husband were intimate friends of mine. " 'Oh, he is not dead yet,' sobbed the woman, 'but I want yon to call at the house and steal his measure while he is asleep. I want a royal purple velvet coffin, and it may take you several days to fill the order.' "I assured the tearful woman that it would perhaps be impossible to fill the order, as I had never heard of a coffin of any such description ever having been on the market. She went back home, and while the order was hanging fire her husband began to grow better, and in a few days was entirely out of danger. He afterward recovered, and to-day he is a strong, healthful man. "Bat that woman still insists that 1 shall fill the order for a royal purple velvet coffin for her husband, and, furthermore, she has given me another order for a royal purple velvet coffin fnr hfiraelf. On mv present trip to St. Lotus, I called at a large coffin factory here, and surprised the proprietors by lea-ring the special and nnique orders to be filled. When the orders have been filled I can't say whether or not my queer customers will use the two royal purple velvet coffins as ornaments to match the decorations in their parlor at home."?St. Louis Republic.
