TIFIED THE VICTIM Pittsburg, Oct 30.—The first serious natural gas explosion in this city in twe years occurred yesterday [morning in the Hotel Albemarle and Bijou Theatre block on Sixth avenue. About 10:15 o'clock there were three terrific explosions simultaneously In the cellars of D% T. Reeds, optician, Hotel Albemarle, and the Bijou Theatre.

Bridoepout, Conn., Oct. 20.—One thouland feet of water front haa been bought at Whiteetone, Long Island, for a forge plant The industry at this particular point is to facilitate heavy work upon steamships. A syndicate has been formed with William D. Bishop as the moving financial ipirit and D. W. Pinkham as the practical manager. The capital is about 12,000,000, and $700,000 has already been paid in. The plant will be one of the finest in the world. Besides manufacturing heavy forglngs, adequate machinery will be used to finish up work. Three large steamships can be docked simultaneously. The natural harbor of 800 feet of water is the decided advantage of the location. Ever since the European route from Qreenport, L. L, has been in contemplation there have been different ideas advanced favoring a direct route. This plant is established with a desire to catch the European shippi ng, to transfer the steamships from New York to Whiteatone, and save the heavy expen se of city wharfage. Great time can be saved to Europe via Long Island sound, and time saving means economy in cost. D. W. Pickham has been manager of the large forge works in this city for a term of years, but has sevored his connection to enter this new enterprise. NEXT IN INDIANAPOLIS.

"* in A ISA.-- »-* s — Minneapolis, Minn., Oct 30.—Three days work was crowded into one by the general assembly of the Knights of Labor yesterday, and everybody was tired when, at the end of a continuous session of nine hours, the gavel fell and the convention declared at an end. The adjournment was effected too late to enable the bulk of the delegates to catch the evening trains, but by noon only Mr. Powderly and two or three of bis associates in the management of the order were in the city. The administration party is on tho whole well satisfied with what has been accomplished, although considerable regret is expressed that it was not strong enough to bounce the discordant elemeatsin the executive board. The anti's, on the other hand, while deriving some coneolation from this particular victory, are brimful of dissatisfaction with the general outcome of the gathering and unsparing in , their criticisms of the treatment which they received at its hands. The procession moved slowly around the race track andfstopped in front of the grand stand, where it was intended that the distinguished party should alight, but the president, after considering the mud through which it would be necessary to wade to roach the reserved place, determined for Mrs. Cloveland and himself not to venture. His carriage was then driven close to the inner railing, and there he awaited the passage of the troops in review of him. Umbrellas had been procured for Mrs. Cleveland and himsolf, but their companions, Messrs. Collier and Grady, occupying the front seat, turned up their collars, tipped their hats to the northeast, wheuce the wind came, and bravotl the storm like Spartans. The Hotel Albemarle, the Bijou theatre entrance, and the shops which fronted on Sixth street, between the hotel entrance and Library hall, were all terribly shattered. An investigation showed that fifteen persons had been seriously hurt, Ave of them, it is thought, fatally. There names are: Jacob Dinger, gas employe, internally injured, legs and arms broken. Recovery impossible. Thomas Scanlan, gas employe, badly burned. Will die. Miko Mabranzi, Italian, gas employe, severely burned. May die.  Blake, colored, injured internally. Will die. N. T.

Thero was a delay of one mortal hoar. The troops were all on hand, bfft for some reason they could not be brought into position. Drums were heard beating In the distance, and every few minutes a mounted policeman came up and drove little knots of people from one spot to aother. At lost a discharge of bombs, a burst of muslo, ant the troops, perhaps 1;000 men, came marching and slipping past the president, who stood up in his carriage, with an umbrella over his head, to receive them. When the column had passed the carriage was, with some difficulty, extracted from the soil, turned round, and the proposed military reception having been abandoned the party returned to town. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon tbo exercises of dedication took place at the monument, which stands at the old railroad cut near the Chambersburg turnpike. Rev. Dr. J. O. Peck, chaplain of the regiment, opened the exercises with prayer. Gen. Fowler presented Seth Low, the orator of the day, who spoke at considerable length to a large audience. A striking feature of the exercises was the very soldierly march by the tropps of the Fourteenth regiment to the mdnument and return to the hotel, where a review took place. There was a brief debate upon a resolution prohibiting the carrying of any other bat state and national colors in Knights of Labor parades. This was opposed by some of the Chicago, New York and Detroit delegates, but on a call of the roll it was adopted by a vote of 119 to 38. CHAMPIONS AT PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Oct 30.—The cloudy weather yesterday may have hod somothing to do with the attendance at the eighth game of the championship series. The gamo was played on the association grounds, and there were not a* many people present as there were in Boston. Four thousand very probably told the tale. The game is becoming one sided, and no one was surprised at the result. The following is the score by innings:Fowderly's oelebrated deliverance on the temperance question came up on a proposition to strike out that portion relating to the ■ale of intoxioating liquors at social gatherings given under the auspices of the order, but the advocates of temperance had things their own way, and the clause was allowed to stand by a vote of 104 to 49. Shortly before she was murdered the woman returned to New Brunswick and remained a short time at the United States hotel, but disappeared suddenly and was not seen again. The detectives, accompanied by Urs. Wilson and Mrs. Stevens, of New Brunswick, visited Chief Keren's office at Elizabeth yosterday and examined the murdered womin's effects. Mrs. Wilson identified the rings as her property, she having loaned them to Annie when she married the Bound Brook man. The chemise had also been presented to the woman by Mrs. Wilson. Urs. Stevens recognized the rings as thoso worn by Annie while at her hotel the last time. Both women were positive thai the clothing shown was worn by Annie Ingram. When asked if Annie owned a knifo, Mrs. W ilsun said "yes," and minutely described the knife in the possession of the chief, although it had not been shown. They both described the womau carefully, and the iescription tallied exactly with that of the lead woman. Late yesterday afternoon the lotectlves examined a trunk in Mrs. Wilson's house. It contained several photographs of the dead woman and also one of Ingram, and a large package of letters was found, some being from the woman's sister, Tillie King, of 29 Tennet street, Birmingham, England. The officers would not say how the woman happened to be in Railway, and positively declined to say who the man is whom she married in Bound Brook. They left the city on the 7 o'clock southbound train, saying that they expected to get their man before midnight Adjourned, LAND LEAGUE CAMPAIGN The monument is one of the moat imposing yet erected here. It is twenty feet high, capped with an eight foot statue of a private soldier obeying the command "handle cartridge." This design, like others of the beat companies, is intended to perpetuate the tootles which were in vogue a quarter of a century ago and are now so obsolete. The die has four bronze'plates, those on the front and rear giving the name of the regiment, with the bridge, division and corps. On one aide is the coat of arms of the state of New York, and on the other the coat of arms af Brooklyn. Full historical data appear on the four sides of the base in raised, polished letters. The Fourteenth Brooklyn regiment, the eighty-fourth in the New York line, belonged at the time of this battle to Cutler's brigade, WadswA-th's division, Reynolds' corp, and was of the brigade which first went into action. Their first position was on the most advanced portion of the Union line, and they afterward moved by the right to the spot where the monument stands and where they participated in capturing the Second and Forty-eecond Mississippi regiments of Da vies' brigade, Heth"s division of Hill's corps.

Prohibiting Announcements of Meetings Dublin, Oct 20.—The police have warned the Irish news agents against exposing papers or placards containing any reference to meetings of suppressed branches of the National league. of Suppressed Branches. The oommittee on grievances and appeals regretted that in consequence of the volume of conflicting testimony it had been unable to reach a conclusion on the application for reinstatement from District Assembly 126 of New York and recommended that the question be submitted to arbitration. The convention decided, however, that when the assembly was ready to comply with the law of the order, it could be restored to good standing by the executive board, thus leaving the matter where it stood at the close of the Richmond assembly.
