NO. 1 Pittsburg, April 3.—By an accident at furnace I of the Edgar Thom [»win plant ot the Carnegie steel company at Braddock Palsy six men were killed and ten are in tbe hospital and are not expected to recover. Pour others in jured went to their homes and are suffering from painful burns. Tbe accident was caused by a “hang” in tiie furnace dropping and forcing large quantities of white-hot dust down a large pipe into a pit where the men were at work. The victims were without means of escape, and all were burned and blistered over their entire bodies. Large strips oi flesh peeled oft their bodies when they were pulled out ot the pit by fellow work- mtn. The cries of agony of the vic tims as they writhed in the lava-like stuff from which they were vainly trying to extricate themselves could 1« heard over a block away. Hundreds of workmen from other parts ot the plant rushed to the rescue and as quickly as possible pulled the injured men from tbe pit and carried them to the emergency hospital. Tbe bodies of the fatally burned were blackened or shredded in strips by the white-hot metal dust that burned into their flesh. Many of the men had large blotchw burned through tbe flesh, caused by large »plashes of molten iron that had struck them and burned through to the bone.
