Two ferioai Injured, Bat There Were Sey-
ertl Miraoaloai Biotpei.
Longview, Tex., Oct. 3—At 7
a. m. to-day one of the 60-horse
power tubular boilers in Brown
and Flewellen's mill blew up with
terrific force. The only persons
hurt were Nittie Simmons, a little
negro girl, who was gathering up
wood near the mill, and Walter
Fagan, second fireman, a negro
boy about 19 years old. He was
within two feet of the boiler,
shoveling fuel in, and was in a
stooping position when the ex-
plosion occurred. He was carried
along with the front end of the
boiler (which weiged a ton) for
over 100 yards, passing clear over
the commissary, a building twenty-
five feet high and twenty feet
higher up the hill than the boiler.
The fireman said as he went
along witli the front end of the
boiler ho was about five feet be-
hind it. He never lost conscious-
ness and was able to walk over
the railroad embankment to his
home, 100 yards away.
Nittie Simmons, the little negro
girl, was struck with a piece of
the boiler and had'the fiesy part
of her leg fearfully

Tobacco Damaged.
Louisville, Ky., Oct., 3 Es-
timates made by correspondents
of the Louisville warehouses of
the loss to the tobacco crop by
the recent frosts place it at from
10,000 to 30,000 hogsheads. The
lowest estimate of damage put by
any warehouseman to-day was 10
per cent and the highest 20 to 25
per cent. The damage in the
barley district is placed at 20 per
cent, and the same authority put
the damage to dark tobacco at 16
to 18 per cent. The greatest per
cent of loss was in Western Ken-
tucky tributary to the St. Louis
market, while Central and South-
ern Kentucky suffered heavily.
In the bluegrass region the dam-
age was the slightest.
The Vote Counted.
Decatur, Texas, Oct. 4.—Yes-
day the commissioners' court of
Wise county canvassed the vote
of the local option election held
on September 7th. This was as
soon as they could do so, as the
temporary injunction restraining
them from so doing was only dis-
solved last Saturday. The vote
showed a majority of 103 for pro-
hibiten, and a total vote of about
