vol. xv; MANY MANGLED MEN. Frightful Explosion of Loaded Pipe in the Minnesota Mine at Tower. Three Men Killed Almost In stantly and Nine Others Injured. two of the Later Lose So Much Blood That They Will Die. Heartrending 1 Scenes at the Homes of the Killed and Maimed. Er.ec!ai to the Globe. Tower. Minn.. April IS. — Intense excitement, profound sorrow, bereaved families, briefly sum up the condition of affairs which has prevailed today in the residence district of the Minnesota mine, near this city. The most disas trous tire in the history of the mine oc curred this morning shortly after 10 o'clock, when three men were killed outright. Nine others suffered serious injuries, two of whom will probably die. Several others were slightly injured. The list follows: Killed. J. B. NETTLE, jugular vein severed; leaves wife and four children. CIIAIU.ES TOL-?O>\ gas nipe driven through his chest; leaves wife aud five chil dren. JACOB K.OSIIAVER, limbs blown off; un married. Injured. Phil Marsbead, John Bosenstein, James Mahoney, G. S. Warne. Prdi Cody, W. J. Kettle, William Martin and Joe Zollar. The accident occurred at the mine blacksmith shops, where about twenty men are employed, nearly every one of which sustained at least slight injuries. Mettle. Zoilar and Nelson were engaged in breaking up a lot of worthless gas pipe beiore throwing it into the scrap pile. The pipe was being put under a twelve-hundred pound steam hammer and broken into such lengths as would permit its easy handling. The men had been engaged in this work for nearly an hour when suddenly a terrific report sounded, and when the smoke cleared away ■ terrible sight presented itself to the gaze of those who had heard the report from the ad joining machine shop and ran to the scene of the explosion. Senseless forms, mangled bodies, and men staggering from the scene of the horrible disaster weak from the loss of blood, characterized the scene. The news spread with frightful rapidity to the homes of the miners, and soon the place was surrounded by a crowd of frantic, distracted relatives anxious to learn the extent of the terrible calam ity. Stretchers were brought, and the work of carrying the injured to the mine hospital commenced. Nettle, Nel son and Koshavei died almost instantly. none of them living over twenty min utes. For over four hours Drs. Har vood and Kichardson were busy dressing tiie wounds of the surviving injured, during the most of which time the hos pital was besieged by relatives and friends of the injured men. The wards are lull, and everything possible is be ing done. It is extremely improbable that Marsbead and Mahoney will re cover, both having suffered greatly from the loss of blood. The explosion was no doubt due to the pres ence of a quantity of dyna mite in the pipe-, which had at some time been used as a**gun"|in opening "raises" that had become clogged. The moment the steam ham mer struck a blow the explosion fol lowed. No similar accident has ever been known in the Lake Superior iron district. The blacksmith shop is badly demolished, all its glass being blown out. The iron roof was riddled with pieces of Hying gas pine. DKMOCiIATIC SWEEP. Republicans Hardly in the Fight at Chamberlain.

He had a mania for gambling, and on one occasion he made a partnership play with a friend in which $1,150 was lost at the faro banks. The friend in question put up the money, and when they came to set tle Maury gave him a check on a bank in St. Louis. The check was returned unpaid.

The Capitol Bill Looms Up as the One Worthy Meas ure. Official Amenities Occupied Most of the Closing: Session. Gsn. Sanborn Easily Re-Elect ed to the Vice Presi dency. The session of the senate for 1893 is now a matter of historical record. The work of the Solons is before the public for eulogy or condemnation, according to the temper and judgment that may bo excited. Whatever odium the senate may have justly incurred, it seems conscious of a record that in point of the prosecution of fraud stands in refreshing contrast to the house and to other histories— the records of predecessors. After the night session recorded in these columns yesterday, the senate was prompt in reorganizing at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Senator Crandall introduced a resolu tion requesting the governor to investi gate the present system of separate boards of trustees for the government of each slate institution, and suggested that one board be established to control the whole. The resolution was adopted. The resolution increasing the pay of the paces to £3 a day was called up and adopted, while that to increase the com pensation of the tile clerks to §5 a day was lost. The latter resolution wa3 reconsidered, amended to increase to 53.50 and adopted in that form. The finance committee, by a majority of one, recommended the adoption of the resolution appropriating 92,750 for the pay of the attorneys of the charter commission. They are given $10 a day for the time actually employed. The resolution was lost. Senator Donnelly offered a formal resolution, designed to remedy a legal oversight in the declaration of the pur pose of the coal combine investigation. It was adopted. Senator Kelly moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolution to permit 1,010 copies of the charter bill was lost yesterday. The motion pre vailed and the resolution, after being amended to call for 500 copies, was adopted. - A resolution to Increase tho pay of the secretary of the senate, the enroll ing clerk and the engrossing clerk $15J each was adopted. Gov. Nelson sent to the senate the an nouncement of the appointment of notaries public and the appointment of G. A. 131ain as a member "of the state board of agriculture. They were con firmed in open session. Senator Stevens called up his resolu tion to give P. J. Fortune, clerk of the coal combine committee, $100 extra pay. It was adopted. A resolution to give J. E. Miller $100 was lost. . .' "; Senator Day offered a resolution for a committee to wait upon' the governor and inform him the senate is ready to adjourn. The resolution was adopted, and President dough appointed as such committee Senators Day, Hompe and Mcllale. it was at this interesting juncture that Senator Donnelly walked, with stately step and mien, across the cham ber to the photographic group of the members that was then on exhibition at the right of the president's desk. The Sage approached the elegant picture, handsomely framed, and then followed one of the most felicitous events of the entire session. In an eloquent and touching speech he presented the pict ure to Lieut. Gov. Clou^h. He reviewed the work of the session, and in burning words of eloquence eulogized the rec ord that the president ot the senate had made. His impartial rulings were not overlooked, and his social qualities were accentuated. It was a picture and picturesque. Gov. (/lough was deeply moved. His voice trembled as he made his speech of i $ .w&e&vfA acceptance and thanked h i s confreres for the gift that had been tendered. In a happy vein lie alluded to the amenities of the session and expressed hissincerest re grets tliat the galaxy w a t about" to break up only to meet again contin gent upon the vicissitudes of political circumstance. Mr. Donnelly then presented as a token of the appreciation, respect and affection of the senators, si large and handsome framed group of the senators. The Sage's speech, like everything else he does, was well done, the language and sentiment being of the choicest. President Clouzh was much affected by the pleasant incident and showed in GEX. SAXBORX. liis words his deep feeling. He made a brief Bpeeelj-<kf acceptance in which he thanked the senators and declared the gift should be hiehlv prized. Senator J. D. Smith introduced a reso lution of compliment and respect to President Clough, In which the hope is declared that Jie may soon enter upon a larger field of political usefulness. The resolution was adopted by an unanimous rising vote. EV E. ««al, chief clerk of the pine lands Investigating committee, was given SGO for twelvo days' service col lecting evidence. Gov. Nelson announced his approval of the senate bill for the continuance of the pi no lands investigation. Senator Keller offered a resolution in forming the world' 9 fair commission that the senate Is now ready to accept the invitation to visit the world's fair buildings, and this was adopted. This was followed by tha election of a pro tempore vice president, {senator Craudall placed Senator Sanborn In nom ination in an earnest in. which there was » good deal of compliment to the abilities of the. candidate and a tes timonial to his integrity. This was fol lowed by an eloquent sDeech by Sena tor Bell, who nominated Senator Mc llale as the choice of the Democrats of the body, and Senator Leavitt made a forcible speech in seconding this. The record as a premier Demo crat was not overlooked, and the sen ator from Scott actually blushed like a school girl as he listened to the enconiums poured upon him by the sen- * 3 * itor from Meeker. I'hen it was the Alliance's oppor tunity. Senator Lommen was the choice, not be cause he is the leader, but be cause he has been consistent. It re mained for the eloquent Sage of Isininger to name him in one of his grandest efforts. Senator J. D. Smith didn't want to be left out, in the cold, and he made a happy play upon tiie ensemble in gen eral and the candidates in partlcular.but he was predisposed to support the nom ination of (ien. San born, he said. Senator Sanborn was elected. Senator McHala developed the Democratic sup port due to him, 17. and Senator San born had 24 Republican partisans to supuort Ills candidacy. Senator Lorn men only received 7 votes, and he voted for Donnelly. Senator Sanborn was given the honor, and he made a feeling address of thanks. He was escorted to the chair by Senators Crandall, Bell and Donnelly, and by Senator Stevens, who occupied the chair. Mr. Sanborn referred earnestly to his thirty-three years' legislative experi ence., and said when he looked around him and saw how many had gone he felt like the man described by the poet who stood alone in the "banquet hall deserted." The changes in the govern ment during these years and what has been done for the hitman race. He re ferred to the work of this senate and the character of its members, constitut it as the best that had come under his observation. He declared if there had been no election of officers one would hardly have known there were several parties represented. A committee had been appointed by the-lieutenant governor to wait upon the governor to Jeavn ii he had further communications to make to the senate, and at this point Senator Day, from the committee, reported that the chief ex ecutive had nothing to communicate. President Clough took the chair to express his sincerest thanks for the kindnesses and appreciation that had been manifested throughout tho session by the member*, and hedidnotoverlook the newspaper reporters. In an espe cuilly handsome speech he conceded that the reporteis are important factors in a session of the legislature, and he was straightway called to the judiciary com mittee room by the reporters, and here ensued the event of the day. It was a touching episode. Franklyn Lee, of the News, made the address in his prettiest and most pathetic strain. He presented Mr. Clough with an elegant rosewood and zinc-iined cigar sate on the part of the newspaper boys. Mr. Clough was almost overcome with emo tion, but he found words to express his appreciation, and there is not a news paper worker who does not thoroughly and completely appreciate the event. No one has done more to aid tiie news paper laborers than Mr. Ciough, and iie has done it because he is in full sym pathy with them and because he knows they have been honest in their recitals of the incidents of the session. The legislature adjourned sine die when it was finally announced that the bills hud been enrolled. THK PEOPLE WILL. JUDGE Whether the Se.iate Was to Blair, c or Not. What good has been accomplished? A great number of bills have been passed, but are they in trie interests of the people? This is a recondite ques tion, and can really only be answered after a competent test has been made. True, measures of the greatest impor tance have been before the session. Some nave passed, and some have been slaughtered. Whether Senator Mcllale's declaration that bad bills went through "flatting," and bills of importance and for the good of the people were killed, be the case or not, the citizens of Min nesota may judge. What was passed? A L'reat deal of farmer legislation. There were several bills that relate directly to the carrying and handling of grain. For illustration, the Maguire bill may ue cited. It orders sidetracks and switches along the right of way of railroads to elevator constructed on the right of way of railway companies and contiiiious thereto. This is fortified by the bill giving: the right of eminent domain, so that the right to condemn elevator sites on rail way rights of way pass to citizens. Then there is the Dulutli elevator bill. It provides lor the construction ot a public elevator at Dulntn of 2,500, --000 bushels capacity, and places it un der the charge of the railway and ware house commission. It is to cost 1230,000 and to be completed by August 1, 1804. The expenses to be taken from the wheat inspection fund and, in order to create a sufficient fund, the cost of in spection is increased from 15 cents a car to 50 cents, and the cost of weighing is increased from 20 to 25 cents a car. In addition comes the bill compelling railway companies to erect elevators at certuin stations, and the bill placing ell private elevators under the domination of the warehouse co.nmission. But one of the most salutary measures was the new capifol bill. That Minne sota, with its marvelous resources, airri cultural and mineral, should be dis graced by a structure— a state h^e that is a rebuke and shame— was a< J-s --tion that aroused the pride of tho nii fi bers of the legislature, and theyv-<,ed to build a 12.006,000 capitol within tlirae quarters of a nnle from the present cap itol, and aiss to sell the present capitol site. The capitol commission may ex pend *5,00 a the coming two years, and a certain per centum is fixed to meet the cost from that time on in the way of a tax to complete the structure. One of the more important bills passed was the measure modifying the laws governing the insane hospitals— the Davis bill, In other words. Another was tup flexible act giving cities, towns and villages power to issue bonds. There were many healthy acts and enabling provisions for cities and towii3, but the taxation bills to bring the great corpora tions within the provisious that eovern the common people and the smaller cor porations were abject failures.

The wind-up oc curred amidst a discouraging scene of confusion, which had continued since the members assembled at 11 a. m. It might further be said, the disorder was but a continuation of the riot of Monday night." The very last business transacted yes terday was the passing of resolutions giving an increase of pay to house em ployes, except the pages, who got left in the shuffle. A resolution to pay $211 for expenses incurred by the Markham investigating committee had been voted down at 12 m.. because the amount wa3 considered exorbitant. But later on Mr. (lieer presented a resolution direct ing the speaker and chief clerk to draw orders lor the amount; and also for $104, expense incurred in the investi gation of the saie of school land stump age in Mille Lacs county to C A. Smith & Co. When the house quit the speaker's table was piled high with resolutions of various kinds, but as the body was being held in session after 12 in. simply to give tiie speaker a chance to sign bills, none of them was presented for consideration. DiMinion and Disorder. To properly review the doings of thelsession whicli has just closed will be the work of weeks, per- P 6 v/und&n/ haps months. From the very start sore ness, rebellion and disunion have pre vailed in the ranks of the party in con trol. The senatorial imbrosllo started the kicking and inspired a determina tion on the part, of many influential representatives to protest by actions, if not by words, against the dragooning methods employed and pushed by the Davis managers. A free, untrammeled vote on conviction would have meant overwhelming defeat for the force bill advocate. The general run of even Minnesota Republicans are too bnnd gauge to swallow Davis' bland**-' ;i< many directions. Conse- 1 J~.J~FyRLOA/<& * p quently, wh c n ,j forced to elect 'such a man, a se cre t reservation was cherished that tae ladies in their humiliation would be made to sweat by the men who . were chained in the Davis line sorely against their will. p From the vpry 'beginning — de spite caucuses, /agreements and /steering commit- tees uieti .. .. iiartuony of thought among the majority in the house and disorganized action. The opposition had no need whatever to encourage or further the split. The fussure grew larger day by Jsday from irresponsible causes. Even on the most partisan measures— on bills that had the sanc tion and indorsement of as cruel and relentless a political czar as ever wielded power— there were men who could not be Coaxed, Whipped or Driven into line. The govern*""* pet mcas- /°. H:CKZi£X " ure, on which h? has apparently builded all his hopes of future success, goos to the people of the state branded in scorching worns of denunciation from Republicans who are stalwart in their faith and persistent in its practice. Wild schemes have been cau^nt at and harnessed to the Republican chariot to allay or dis arm public suspicion. > Same of them have been enacted into law. Fights in the ranks of the majority of the house have been continuous. Cat and dog play was the order all too often for de cency. Disreputable tactics were brought into play frequently, and many times with bad effect, as. for instance, when the Peterson-Nelson-blessing-to the-fanner bill was crowded through the house and onto the governor's table to be signed before daylight. Through this maelstrom of parlia mentary tansies the Democrats attend ed to Ifce legitimate work of legislation with jv'».cfc and persistence. A good proportion of the commendable legisla tion was framed by me iibers ef the minority. Bills of promise, no matter 4 'hence they emanated, were supported \n' the votes of the men chosen by the V/.iocratic party. The Republicans wica often Saved From Themselves by the good judgment and non-partisan action of men like P. 11. Kelly, P. B. Winston, John Furlong, Matt McGrath, P. E. Barrett. Andrew French, K. A. , Walsh, John lvea, August Nilsson, Ed NO. 109. Sails, William Rodger, Dr. Williams, Geor^o M. Bleecker, Joe Roach and othra The wide ex' perience and great natural ability of Mr; Kelly hasnevei been proved to, greater advant* age than in the house of repre se n t at i yes. Alert, attentive and resource ful, he has been a power in ev ery direction, taking a mas terful part in committee work and on the floor. Speaking but seldom, but always at work, the Second ward member has scored many a triumph.. All hands admired his ability and paid tribute to his personal worth. John Furlong's legislative knowledge and experience have frequently shown to B. A. WAT.SH. good advantage. His vote has been uni formly cast to conserve the interests of alf classes. Narrowness has no place in his make-up, and the people of Mower county have a right to be proud of their Democratic representative. He has added new laurels to his previous good record as a legislator. Ex-Mayor Winston, of Minneapolis, \s deserving of praise for his consistently upright, manlyand unprejudiced course in all the 'oatties for or against legisla tion. He won and deserved the respect of all members for his good work,\yhieh. had nothing of the partisan about it. Mr. Bleecker and Mr. Barrett and Mr. Sall.s rendered valiant service, not only to Democracy, but to the stale, and lost no opportunity to do good by voice or vote. The Democrats of Ramsey couutv chose good men in every .yard, and their work as a whole will bear critical analysis. Always present and always well informed, they made ud a delega tion that was not surpassed by any on the floor in energy, ability and accom plishment. Many a good measure passed or movement initiated bears tne name of a Ramsey county man. Analysis of the laws enacted and re sults achieved will follow as the oppor tunity offers in the columns of the Globe. T::rr.ll Compliment?!!. Yesterday's session was in; ire of a eleariug-up proceeding than anything else. Mr. Tuirell. of Kedwood. was nominated for speaker pro tern by Mr. Wyman in a very neat speech, full of feeling and complimentary allusions. P. H. Kelly seconded the nomination in a felicitous little talk, and Mr. Turrell was declared elected unanimously. The speaker expressed regret that Mr. Tur rell had been called home and was un able to assume the gavel /or the bal ance of the session. Mr. Wilson, of Good hue, called up the resolution to pay the employes of the house at tue same rate paid the sen ata employes. After a lona debate the resolution was passed. But before this was done Mr. Wilson had cailed for the reading of an opinion troii the attorney general, in which the point was empha sized that the statutes established the per diem of the minor officers of the house at §5 per day. Mr. Jacobson sail the opinion of the attorney general was not good law. That officer had rendered sonio opinions that a country justice would oe ashamed of. Some applause greeted this state ment. Speaker Lee named Messrs. Colton, Staples, Jacobson and McGratb, the latter a Democrat, as the house mem bers of the committee to investigate pine land frauds and report to the next legislature. JUnrklium Exonerated. Mr. Cole, of Otter Tail, called up tha majority and two minority reports of the special committee to investigate charges made against Representative Markbam by a Minneapolis newspaper. The majority report was read, as was also the minority report signed by Mr. Kocrner, but the house refused to hear the report of Mr. Wacek, which was treated without any sort of respect. On a motion to adopt the majority re port red-hot speeches were made by Messrs. Fuller and Boggs, denouncing the Wacek resolution and report. Mr. Fletcher supported the majority reDort, and it was adopted with a hurrah. Then the resolution and the two minority re ports were ordered expunged from the records. Mr. Walsh offered a resolution recit ing the main facts in the investigation of the coal combine; that the committee had been hampered and thwarted so that it could not prepare the necessary bills; condemning trusts as inimical to the public welfare; favoring confisca tion of property invested in illegal com binations and the severest kind of pun ishment for all engaged in such viola tions of law. The resolutions were adopted unanimously. A resolution to pay the reading cleric $10 per day from date of appointment trave rise to a lengthy discussion. It was opposed by several members who had likewise fought the previous reso lution. Tne rules were suspended and then the resolution was amended to pay 67.50 per day, in which shape, it was passed. All Ready to Quit. Messrs. P. 11. Kelly, Maguire and Shell were named as a committee to wait on the governor and inform him the house watt ready to adjourn. A few minutes later tne committee re turned, and Mr. Kelly announced the governor, had no further communication to make and wished all the members Godspeed in their homeward journey. When, at "2 o'clock, all the business had been transacted that could be, some pleasant incidents occurred. Mr. Ab bott, of Faribault, rose and presented the speaker with a large group picture of the presiding and other officers and the members of the house and senate. In making the presentation, Mr. Abbott delivered an eloquent and touching Continued on Sixth .Page.
