At noon the water was reported to be within 3 inches of the bank thrown up to protect the village. The low lauds of Venice, opposite the northern part of this city, are now completely submerged, and the ferry company cannot land passengers at its station there because they cannot reach the shore over the bridges, which can scarcely he seen.

Allen and Van Valkenburg were blown high in the air, their dead bodies landing more than 100 feet distant from the boilers in aterribly mutilated condition. Tbe boilers were literally blown into bits. At the time of the explosion the seventy-five men employed about the mill had all returned to work from dinner, and it is little short of a miracle that any of theiu escaped with their lives. Without Warning. The survivors have little to tell, aa the explosion came without warning.

They simply remember a terrible shock and a feeling as though falling a great distance. Then came a moment's silence, broken by screams, groans and curses, as the wounded and pinioned men began to feel their hurts and realize ttieir positions. Censured. Many bitter things are said of the owners of the mill, who are being charged with using the boilers they knew were defective. This may or may not be true, but nothing definite regarding it con be obtained.

The mill and salt block, valued at 850,000, are complete wrecks. ITALY AND AUSTRIA ACCEPT. Tke International Conference to Meet About July t. WASHIN6TOW, May 14. --President Harrison has received from Italy and Austria acceptances of the invitation to participate in an international monetary conference.

The acceptance of Italy is especially pleasing to the administration, as, on account of its position as the head of the Latin union, it will influence the remaining nations to join the conference. It is BOW positively known that invitations were forwarded to all European powers with the exception of Turkey. Some talk has been caused the fact that replies to these invitations were slow in coming. This delay was caused by the fact that the invitations were sent by mail, instead of by cable, as WM la- tended. The replies from the remaining nations will probably be received shortly, and it is the belief of thow best acquainted with the of the negotiations that the international monetary conference will convene about the 1st of July, la OMAHA, May Memorial ereiseB were the order of the day in UM Methodist conference, and appropriate attended the announcement of the death roll since the last conference.
