Pittsburg, Pa., May 18.—An explo
sion in the soda house and plant of the
Aetna Chemical Company at Oak
dale, West Pittsburg, at noon, tore a
number of buildings to pieces, caus
ing what at first reports indicated a
great los3 of life. Undertakers were
summoned to the plant and it is de
clared more than 150 $vere killed. It
will probably be hours before even an
estimate of casualties is possible
Debris took fire after the explosion.
About an hour later another explos
ion occurred, scattering debris. It is
reported a number watching the fire
were injured. Belief trains are be
ing hurried to the scene.
NEWPORT.
Thou land of the toilers lofty dream,
Where the green fields wave their
heads;
And the White, river sends its gurg
ling stream,
And the dew her silvery beads.
Where the golden grain in a flooded
shoot,
Sends her treasures across the sea;
The zephyrs of spring play their mel
odious lute,
Can thy coronet, Newport be?
Thou furrored soil as a mother loam,
T»____
The harvest is good and so is the gold,
The intellect all would admire;
Its perfecting plan would ever unfold,
A luster that lives to inspire.
But has there lived in the plans of
men, »
As the higher goal they sought,
A sway that shall honor their labours
when
Departed from great Newport.
