A boiler iu Force & Dickinson's stave mill at Sta ples, four miles from here, exploded this morning-, killing1 seven men out right, fatally injuring one. and twenty others were more or less scalded and injured. When the night watchman g-ave way to the regular day engineer there were twenty-five pounds of steam in the boiler. The lire was increased, and it is supposed that there was eighty pounds' pressure on the boiler at the time of the explosion. Fortunately there were a great number of hands absent, owing1 to the earliness of the hour. The scene is horrible. Arms and limbs were literally torn from the victims' bodies, while the skulls of some were crushed in and the brains torn out. The air is full of ru mors regarding the condition of the boiler. Some saj' it was old and unfit for use, while an employe of the mills says that the boiler was in good run-nig- condition, but that he believed scales had formed on the plates and stopped up seme of the valves. The boiler was carried fully 200 feet, passing in its flight between two resi dences. Bricks and other debris were thrown in all directions, but the houses in the neighborhood escaped with a few broken windows. The two . Chauvins and Daust were single men. The others were all married with fam ilies depending- on them for support, vittkkaxs ix a wreck. Fifteen G. A. IC Passengers Injured by a Collision on the Lehigh Valley Itoad. Wir.KEsnAirp.K.

NEW YORK AUTHORITIES HAVE V CHECKED CHOLERA. The Suevia Arrives With a Clean Bill or Health She la the Ist or the Much Dreaded Cholera Ships General News of the Plague. New Yohk, Sept 19. It begins to look as though the authorities had stamped out every vestige of cholera in this city. The board of health issued a bulletin at 10 o'clock this morning say ing that "no cases or suspected cases of cholera have appeared in this city since the last bulletin." Dr. Edson says that the Connity girl is better, but it is impossible to tell whether she had the true Asi atic cholera until a bacteriologist examination is concluded. Her case, however, was a very suspicious one, and the symptoms all pointed to the conclusion that she was suffering from the disease. Dr. Edson said there are no new cases to report so far as he knew. The authorities think they have stopped the spread of the disease, and there is little or no alarm in the city to-day. The passenger steamer Suevia, the last vessel of the passenger fleet from Hamburg so much dreaded by the health authorities of the port, came to an anchorage in the lower bay last night. Dr. Byron examined her, and learned from Captain Bauer that there had been . no illness among the passengers during the voy age. The Suevia is the first passenger steamer to arrive at this port from Hamburg in three weeks without a record of some deaths. The Suevia's passengers were examined by Dr. Byron. She carried only first cabin passengers, of which she had about ninety. All were found well. The Hamburg packet steamer Fuerst Bismarck was the most prominent of the early morning arrivals to-day. She came only from Southampton and car ried no immigrants. She sailed on Sept 10, and came into port before daylight to-day. Capt Albcrs, her commander, reported to Dr. Talmage when that official boarded the vessel in upper quarantine, that there had been no sickness of any kind among his pas sengers during the trip. The cabin pasengersof the Rugia will be taken to Fire Island to-day, and r,000 steerage passengers from the other ships in the cholera fleet will be sent to Camp Low. The local Long Islanders who prevented the landing of the Normannia cabin passengers at Fire Island are up in arms again, and threaten to prevent the landing of any more quarantined passengers, but the presence of the militia there will pre vent any outbreak. Worst Fest-bed In Kurope. Loxuox, Sept 19. The Times this morning publishes the first of a series of articles by Hall Caine, describing a tour in Western Russia and Galicia. The writer said that when he left Berlin two months ago Karl Franzos, knowing that he would return via Hamburg, warned him that Hamburg was the worst cholera bed in Europe and that he would quit the city in stantly if a single case was reported. Mr. Caine adds that when he returned to Hamburg the epidemic had already appeared, but no precautions had been taken except at the excellent barracks for Jewish emigrants on the American quay. Suspect at Cleveland. Cleveland. Sept 19. Elias Levin, of 21o Woodland avenue, was in Ham burg during the worst of the epidemic.

Washington, D. C, Sept 19. Act ing Indian Commissioner BeU received the following telegram dated Thurs day, from Union Indian Agent Bennett, concerning the Choctaw trouble: "Situation to-day critical, two 'more men surrendered last night At 5 o'clock this afternoon 100 Jones men, heavily armed, rode within hailing dis tance of prisoners and demanded them. My police warned ..hem that prisoners were in their custody as United States officers and woald not be surrendered. The men then rode away. I have ar ranged with railway company to con vey these men out of Choctaw nation on any freight train to-night should danger threaten. "Over two hundred Jones men arc now congregated two miles south in command of Green McCurtaine. They express dissatisfaction with the peace agreement made last Tuesday and de termination not to abide by the same.

Unless armed forces disband to-morrow I will be constrained to order military aid." MRS. HARRISON IMPROVED. She Passed a Comfortable Night and Said She Felt Better Saturday. Loon Lake, N. Y., Sept 19. Mrs. President Harrison passed a comfort able night and to-day she said she was feeling better. There has been no ma terial change in her condition. The President looks much lietter to da3' than he has since the early part of the week. Dr. Gardner is much grati fied in the improvement made by Mrs. Harrison during the night He made an examination and discovered that there was no tendency toward a repro duction of the watery fluid in the lung cavity. The patient rested much better than usual, although her sleep was by no means unbroken. This morning she was feeling much stronger and seemed greatly improved. Dr. Gard ner feels almost justified in predicting that immediate danger from the com plication caused by reproduction of the watery fluid, the greatest cause of alarm, has passed, but he will not say anything about the main disease. Mrs. Harrison's condition is still very grave, but with the removal of the dangerous complication -which has necessisated three dangerous operations, the physi cians will be better able to cope with the nucleus of the trouble.

Homestead, Pa., Sept 19. Eighteen workmen from Philadelphia arrived at Homestead this morning and were put at work in the mills. Under cover of darkness last night a large number of Hungarians held a meeting on the river bank near the mill yard. They were addressed by representatives of the Carnegie Steel company and it is said they voted to return to work by the end of next week. It is generally considered by friends of the strikers that the efforts being made by the firm to induce this class of men to return to work is an indication of a weaken ing on the part of the company. There is not nearly so much work being done In the mills tc-daj-, and the officials of the companj' refuse to talk to report ers on the situation or give a reason for the evident inactivity.

Washington is rapidly filling up with old veterans, their wives and friends, every hour adding thousands to what is bound to be the largest crowd ever at the capital. While no other man can take the place of the President at the different exer cises of encampment week, Mrs. Harri son's condition makes it impossible for him to be here, and so everybody is glad Vice-President Morton consented to act in his stead. McCreery's KesfgaatleiC Washixotox, SeRt 19. William Mc Creery's resignation as United States consul at Valparaiso, Chili, was written Sept C and forwarded after he became convinced that the State Department desired to continue him no longer in; the service.

If there was any lingering doubt as to the success of the Grand Army encampment here next week, so far as the attendance is concerned, it would have been at once dismissed J by any one who visited the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio railroad stations.

They ! claim have secured the support of the Chicago people, who relinquished the idea of trying for the encampment from the conviction that they would have their city fully occupied with the world's fair visitors. The Indianapolis boomers are mak ing a strong point of the fact that they have received promises of such reduced railroad rates between their city and Chicago as would make it feasible for the poorest visitor to the encampment to also visit the world's fair.
