From what can be learned the foul boiler. : exploded at one time , reduc ing the mill to a heap of burned ami 1 charred timbers and twisted Iron. There is not a straight piece'of Iror or steel left in the entire building. Even the bolts in the beams anc stringers arc twisted like screw nails. The mill had sixty men on eacl ; turn and it is thought that almost j : L'0 men , comprising both crews , wen : i the plant at the time of the ex plosion. A few minutes alter the boilers let go the big mill was a heap of ruins. The injured and dead were found under wreckage and in the mill yard , where they had fallen li the race for life.

One of the boilers went throng ] , the roof of the bar mill , soared through the air across Thiitieth street and'crashed into the residence of Robert Price of Thirtieth street. It went- through the front wall and fell into Hie cellar , completely wreck ing the house. ' Price and his family were asleep at the time and had to rush to the street in their night clothes. The other two boilers were blown to pieces and it was these that caused the complete destruction ol the mill. The biting cold wind ? from the river made the rescue work slow and painful. It was about 4:1-1 : o'clock as the mill crew was about to turn over the mill to the day force that four boil ers in the ten-inch bar mill No. II ex ploded with terrific force , scattering deatli and destruction in all direc tions. The mill was comlpetely wrecked and the debris is piled from fifty to seventy-five feet high. The boiler works of James McNeil , ad joining the Black Diamond millwere also destroyed. A force of men went to work as quickly as possible after the explosion , searching _ in the de bris for b-nlies. AttiU'liril by S'nviiKi ! IliiK-t Oakland , Neb. , Dec. 21. J.

Warm weath er and rain followed by high winds , have resulted in fearful damage all over New York state. On Saturday the snows in the northern sections thawed rapidly , causing the rivers and creeks to rise and the valleys were inundated. Heavy rains had ' fallen during the night , accompanied by winds of great velocity. Trains were blocked for many hours , land slides were frequeut , and in the low lands and valleys hundreds of dwell ings were flooded , while the damage to farm lands and buildings is very great. Few lives so far have been reported as lost. in and around New York City the wind leached a velocity of forty- eight miles an hour , but beyond mi nor incidents no great damage Is re ported so far to property on land or Corning reports that the Chcmung and Canlsteo valleys have had the biggest flood since June , 18S9. The Chomung and Canisteo rivers over flowed their banks and for miles east and west the lowlands were flooded and great damage has been done. . The village ol Pained Post has been under water all day and the water Is two feet deep in most of the dwellings. The Uric , Lackawanna and New York Central roads all suffered from washouts and landslides. Ati Ithaca the damage is estimated at fctyOO.OO. The flood was the most , disastrous experienced since 1857- . The nearby creeks became raging torrents by midnight. A dwelling house was swept away and today no trace of it could be found. The pow er and lighting plant was washed out i' and two trolley cars swallowed out in i LIIU nuuu. .ivii sireeii car inline is suspended ponded and the city is in darkness I Lumber yards and buildings suffered | intensely and the wreckage , blocking the channel of Six Mile creek , turned the stream from Its course and the whole lower part of the city was over flowed. Miles of the Lehigh Valley and Lackawanna railroad tracks were washed away and no trains reached Ithaca. Several bridges were washed I away. Percy Field at Cornell mil- versiy , was turned into a lake and I the university power plants were > abandoned. The lower floor of the ! city hospital was overflowed and to day no heat or light was available in the institution. llcports of the destruction of bridges and bursting of dams along all streams in this vicinity continue to come in. At Waverly great damage was done , roads being washed on ! , cellars filled and buildings undermined and fallen , There was a washout on the ISrie railroad near Welllsburg ; another washout near Oswego. At Syiacuse , the sudden rising of Onondaga creek caused great prop erty damage and drove several hun dred people from their homes. The water rose six feet in eight hours but is iinw receding. Many people were rescued by police and firemen in boats , and no lives are known to have been lost. Muy < ; < > ( o Court. Baltimore , Md. , Dec. HI. Hear Ad miral W. S. Schley has notified Attoi- ney General Isidor Uayner that ho is ready ( to take any action with refer ence to Ills case that Mr. Itaynor may advise. Mr. Kayner expects to meet the admiral in Washington tomorrow or Tuesday. When asked whether he favored a congressional investigation Mr. Hay- nor said : ' . 'I doubt whether a proceeding of f this sort is the proper one. At this , time , I am of the opinion that the matter should be prosecuted In the courts. There are plenty ofvajs In which this can be done and this week we will begin to consult and determine upon our course of action. " Among the telegrams Mr. Kayner has received sincn the publication of the findings of the court of inquiry was one from a Kentlemun In uuother state , who asked that his Identity be kept secret , with an offer of $10 , 000 for the necessary expenses attend ing a further prosecution of the case.

Late this af ternoon Admiral Schley , through his counsel , Illed with the secretary of the navy Ills bill of exceptions to the majority findings of the court of In quiry and nlao a letter asking to be allowed to be heard in connection with the objections to be filed by at torneys for Admiral Sampson to the individual opinion of Admiral Dewey. This action was taken after Mr. Ray- ner , Mr. Teague and Captain Parker of counsel had held a consultation throughout the day with their client. Secretaty Long , almost immediate ly after the receipt of the communi- j ' cations , called Judge Advocate Lem- ly and the solicitor of the department Mr. Hanna , into conference. At its conclusion the secretary said that he had ] no statement to make regaiding any action that he might take in the I promises. lie , however , indicated to | Mr. Teague , through the judge advo- i cate , that he would not hear an oral. 'argument ' by Mr. Kayner regarding' ' Admiral Sampson's protest , but that he ] would receive a written statement. li j It was expected that counsel for' I. I Admiral Sampson would file their objections to the findings of Admiral Dewey 1 in the case today but it is now i stated that such objections may not i be offered before tomorrow. New York , Dec. ! ! > . Capt. Dlax Moron , who commanded the Colon at the battle of Santiago , says that Ad miral i Sampson could take no active part j in the light because his ship was twelve miles to the west of Santiago - | i tiago | harbor when the Spanish squad ron i appealed , while Admiral Schloy , j with \ the Brooklyn flying his pcniiant , and j the Iowa , was close to the har ; bor | , cables the Madrid correspondent of The Journal and Advertiser. "Both warships , " said Captain Morcan , "fought the Maria Teresa , which , seven minutes afterward , was afire. My ship , the Colon , appeared then , flying her larboard artillery against the Iowa , which , not moving | I quickly enough , would have been : sunk by the Colon's pushing had not the Brooklyn fought then an hour aud \ half with the Colon. Evident ly ( he creldt of the first part of the battle , during which ( he Mar in Teresa and the Vl/.caya were placed hors du combat , belongs to Schley as well as the second pan. , during which the Colon fought alone against the Brooklyn , the Iowa and the Oregon. I think Admiral Dewey's praise to Admiral Schley is just. It does not d mlnlsh Admiral Sampson's glory , t ( . whom , as superior commander , was due the posit Ions of ships , hold In the line of blockade , and without whose InsM'iiction the result might be seen in another light.
