Fire destroyed the plant of the Shelby Steel Tube company, owned by the United States 8teel corporation. The loss is said to be close to 12,000,000. The origin of the flames has not been determined. The plant had been closed down several weeks. The fire ate its way through the various factories so rapidly that apparatus sent here from Gallon and Mansfield by special trains arrived too late to be of service.

The plant originally was started to 'manufacture bicycle seamless tubing, but later was acquired by the steel corporation and enlarged. The manu facture of warship holler tubes, was one of the principal industries con ducted in the plant Minority Leader Resigns. Eufalla, June 19.

RUNAWAY MATCH STIRS PITTSBURG Son of Millionaire Founder Has Bean tlful Office Girl Join and Him in Arizona. Pittsburg. June 19. The most ex fclusive Pittsburg society circles were stirred when it became known that Carlton O. Lewis, son of the million 1 aire head of the Lewis Foundry company, of this city, and Miss Anna SoupcofT, a beautiful young woman who lives with her parents at No.

417 North Craig street, had been married at Phoenix, on June 9. Mrs. J. L. Lewis, the mother of the bride groom is at present at her summer home on the shore of Lake Erie, and is prostrated over the announcement.

Miss Soupcoff was a bookkeeper in a downtown office. The Lewis family bitterly opposed the marriage. About two years ago young Lewis, who is a globe trotter and has spent most of his time in recent years in foreign travel, came home and was introduced to Miss Soupcoff in the office of a friend where she was employed. He immediately became In terested in the beautiful young woman and called, on her several times, In his visits abroad, which followed, he corresponded with her, and always when he came back fo Pittsburg he was much in her company. Recently young Lewis returned from abroad, and immediately, went to the home of Miss Soupcoff.

There, is is supposed, he persuaded her to loin him at the proper time. On June 4 she received a telegram, and that af ternoon she disappeared from home. Her parents were greatly worried and knew nothing of her whereabouts un til June 9, when they received a tele gram from Phoenix, stating that she and Lewis had been married there that day by Judge Phillips. In a let ter, which came yesterday, the bride said that they had been married immediately upon her arrival because Lewis feared that an effort would be made by his relatives to prevent the match. Mr.

and Mrs. Lewis will spend several weeks in the west after which they will come east and go abroad for an extensive trip. DURYEA Mrs. Edith Carey, wife of Charles W. Carey, of Duryea, died last night in the State oHspltal at Scranton, where she was operated on for ap pendlcltls a week ago.

Deceased was aged 24, and was a native of the bor ough of Duryea. Before marriage she was Miss Edith Grlgg, and be came the wife of Mr. Carey five years ago. Besides her husband, she ia survived by, her mother; Mrs. Abra hhm Eveland, of Dupont, and the fol lowing brothers and sisters: Edward Grlgg, of Avoca; Edward Eveland, of Dupont; Clarlssy and Frances Eve land, of Dupont The funeral will take place from the Carey home, on York avenue, Duryea, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

A Wt of frtm realism was thrown Into the war play down at the Narrows when, through the premature explosion of a powder charge in a six IncU gun at Fort Wads worth, on Stated Island, three men were injured, two of them fatally, The men injured are privates and members of Company 16, Ninth regiment, New York national guard, whose armory is on West Fourteenth street, Manhattan. The men Injured are: George Harvey, right leg blown off, body badly injured; will die. John Walsh, one arm blown off and body burned; will die. John McDowell, burned about the body and face and suffering from shock; will recover. Of the twenty men in the vicinity of the gun at the time of the accident several were thrown from their feet and slightly injured.

Pewder Explodes In Big Gun. The big guns bad been belching forth their discharges at the imaginary fleet which was endeavoring to force its way into the harbor, and the gunners were working nnder great pressure to secure a rapid rate of fire. Dewn at the water's edge the two six inch guns of Battery Mills were keeping pace with the firing of the rest of the fort Suddenly there was a blinding flash and a report that shook the fortress. The score of men in the compartment were thrown violently to the ground. When the partially stunned men among them were able to rise they found three of their comrades helpless in their own blood.

These men were hurried to the post hospital. The explosion was caused by what is commonly known as a "flare back." Harvey had charge of the process of swabbing the gun after each discharge. It Is supposed that he failed to remove all of the burning powder grains left after the previous firing. A new charge was pushed into the gun breech and the explosion followed. There were thirty pounds of black powder in the charge, and the force of the explosion was terrific.

Regulars 8ave the Day. Battery Mills' guns are of six inch caliber, and each was being worked by a detachment of about twenty men, most of them members of 'the Ninth national guard regiment, with a sprin kling of regulars to steady them. Harvey, McDowell and Walsh were in one of these detachments manning a piece behind the concrete wall down by the water's level. When the accident occurred there was for a minute scene of wild confusion, the men being thrown in all directions by the force of the explosion. The regulars, with their fine discipline, however, quickly restored order, and the In Jured guardsmen were given quick ttentlon.

The post ambulance was hastily called and the men rushed to the post hospital, where surgical aid was immediately available. Their con dltion was found to be so serious that a Catholic priest was sent for to ad minister the last rites of the church if. as was feared, his services should be needed. Union Leaders Dissatisfied. Chicago, June 19.

President. Gom pers, John Mitchell and other leaders in the American Federation of Labor are angry over the federal court injunction plank as adopted by the convention. "We have been thrown down, repudi ated and relegated to the discard by the Republican party," said Gom per "What President Roosevelt and the federation attempted was to have the Injunction abolished. Instead of that the Republican party calls for leglsla tlon that will legalize what we. have been trying to abolish." Bryan Hears the Newa.

Lincoln, Jane 19. William J. Bryan received news of the action of the Republican national convention at his Falrvlew home and evinced con siderable Interest in the result. Mr. Bryan was especially Interested In the tote for Senator La.FoHette.

Ho Fell Asleep in Forest and Ran When He Woke Up. Pittsburg, June 19.

Another death and under circumstances most pe culiar, was charged up to base ball here, when the coroner received final reports on the case of William Schuette, aged 17, who expired on dark street in a suburb of Pitts Durg. Schuette was pitcher for the T. J. Rogan ball club, and had a hard twi light game; at McKlnley Park, just over the elty line. He won the game and was exhausted when it was over and it was growing dark; so he sat with some companions and fell asleep in the woods.

His companions, not noticing that he had fallen asleep, left him there. It appears that the young man awoke about 10 o'clock, and did not know where he was. He ran wildly in the. darkness, and finally, getting into the range of electric lights in the outlying wards, fell on Michigan avenue and expired soon afterward Physicians who reached the boy be fore death declare that his end was due to excessive fright.
