TWO BOILERS BLOWN TO PIECES List of Overdue mod Missing Ships In creasing; Ieatli of Ambassa dor Kustis' Wife. Fairhaven, Wash., Oct. 26. A ter rific explosion occurred at the Pacific Coast Milling company's lumber mill at 5:10 this morning, killing two men, fatally wounding another and severely injuring three more, as well aa wrecking the mill property. There were four large boilers in the mill, only one of which was in use at night to run the dryer. The fireman had just Btarted to get up steam in the others and it is supposed either allowed the water to get low and turned cold water into them after they became heated, or that he turned hot steam into them from the top when they were full of cold water. Whatever the cause two boilers exploded with fearful force, one of them being blown fully 500 feet, passing through the dryhouse and drooping through the railroad trestle into the water. The boiler-house is a total wreck, the main portion of the mill and out buildings are badly shattered and the premises covered with a great mass of debris. There were seven men at work in the mill at the time of the explosion. Of these Armstrong, the fireman, and J. Whitmore, the night watchman, were killed outright. G. W. Newkirk, the second fireman, was so terribly bruised and scalded that the physician ha9 no hope of his recovery. G. T. Lewis, of Whatcom, was badly injured, but will probably recover, and G. W. Lindley and A. T. Bennett were stunned and bruised, but their injuries are not con sidered serious. H. Kilgore, the only man who escaped without injury, was in the dryhouse when the flying boiler passed through it. The damage to the mill property is es timated from (3,000 to $5,000. Missing; or Orerdae. San Francisco, Oct. 26. The list of missing and overdue ships is increasing. Lord Brassey, 81 days out from Hong Kong for San Francisco, is reinsured at 15 per cent. Other vessels concerning which there is anxiety are Lady Law rence, from Newcastle for Valparaiso, on which 55 per cent reinsurance has been paid ; the Middleburn, from Newcastle for Pocopilla, 75 per cent ; the Soudan, from Cardiff for Callao, 30 per cent, and the Nimma, from Melbourne for Lon don, 35 per cent. Vessels in which San Francisco people are most interested are Star of Australia and Lord Spencer, which are considered as good as lost, and to those have been added the Earl of Hopetown, from Tatoosh for Adelaide, on which 40 per cent is offered. The Nordlyset, from the Clyde for San Fran cisco, 20 per cent. These two are good risks. On board those of the overdue fleet for which there is no real cause to feel anx iety, are about 190 men and officers. On board the vessels overdue for which there is cause for come but not serious anxiety, are about as many more souls. On the vessels that are posted aa miss ing the last eight months and for which there is no hope, are about 150 souls. The amount of property represented by the overdue fleet is valued at about $6,000,000, including the values of ships and cargoes. That Pretended Letter. San Fkancisco, Oct. 26. The Exam iner says the contents of the mysterions letter which was to be opened in case Durrant was convicted are known. In this letter, it is said, Durrant makes the statement that he saw the last details of the murder, and Eev. Gibson and another man prominent in church affairs bending over the body of Blanche La mont. The Examiner eajs that al though Durrant requested his lawyer not to open the letter until he was con victed, they have opened it, and so re markable were the statements in it that even they did not believe them, and re frained from using them in Durrant's defense.

The domin ion lighthouse tender Quadra is on a reef at Graham island, a small isle in the Discovery group.

Poor Farm, Winneshelk Co., Ia., says : Last winter Mr. Robert Leach used two boxes of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve and cured a large running sore on his leg.

To the Editor : The Rattlesnake road question has gained sufficient im petus to be able to almost move without the necessity of lifting on the wheels. There are, perhaps, still a few who would unite with the railroad monopoly, such as some merchants at points along the railroad. The letter in the last issue of the Observer, and signed by "Mer chant," seems to say: "We demand the right to hold you aa our slaves, and have you do our bidding and serve us;" but we, the people of Sherman county, mean to be free, and such articles, like the one the Observer printed, only hin der the lime when we will be able to reap the fruits of our efforts.
