London, Sept. 23.â€"Viscount Morley of Blackburn, former Lord President of the Council and Secretary of State for India, died to-night at his resi- dence in Wimbledon from heart dis- €8.58. He was taken ill only this morning, and his end was peaceful. He was 85 years old. Lord Morley leaves no heir, and the Peerage becomes extinct. The veteran writer and statesman had lived for a long time in almost com- plete retirement. Like his famous col- league in the Asquith Ministry, John Burns, he parted from the Govern- mentin 1914 because he could not acquiesce in the war policy, and since that time had taken no very active part in politics.

Hamilton, Sept. 23.â€"Caught in a flood of molten metal and scalded and torn when the metal touched a pool of cold water and violently exploded, two men met horrible deaths, and a third was fatally injured, when the bottom of a furnace suddenly collapsed at the plant of the Abrasive Company of Canada, Limited, 858 Burlington St. east, last night. Nick Martovy, unmarried, who lived at 29 Gerrard street, had his left leg blown off and was terribly injured and‘ burned about the body. Melville Moon,‘ married, who lived at 115 Graham street north, was seriously burned and was injured from flying jags of metal. Both men were about 80 years of age. They succumbed to their injuries at ‘ the General Hospital during the night. Hector Furino, married. who lives at 144 Beach road, was badly injured and removed to the General Hospital, where he died late this evening. RED CROSS WORKERS FOR JAPAN Mrs. Anna M. Stabler and Miss Isobel Jeffares of Vancouver, B.C., the first Red Cross nurses from this continent to be sent to the earthquake- s-tricken areas of Japan. They sailed from Vancouver on the Canadian Pa- cific S.S. “Empress of Russia" and boarded the ship an hour after receiving their orders from Canadian Red Cross headquarters at Ottawa. Mrs. Stab- ler has been director for home nursing for the British Columbia branch of the Red Cross for several years, and Miss Jeffares before joining Mrs. Stabler's staff had a number of years experience in public health work" in Eastern cities and served four years overseas in the Great War. 1L5. 1‘00.‘ 22c 10 7c; gai gal lb.‘ 12 Three other men were working in the factory when the accident occur- red. They escaped injury. The fact that it took place on a Saturday night when only six men were in the plant is deemed fortunate in a sense, as, had the full staff been there, the loss of life would have been heavy, it is said. The explosion was so violent that virtually every window and door in the plant was shattered while the in- terior was considerably wrecked. Martovy, Furino and Moon were working almost underneath an elevatâ€"l ed furnace, it was stated. This fur- nace was charged with metal, and was being melted by an intense heat. It is customary in the melting process at} this plant to play streams of water onI furnaces to keep their exteriors cool.’ Such had been done with this furnace.‘ There was a large pool of water di-l rectly under it. | trol of the Adriatic very apparent in the General Gaetano G Italy neu r659 Woriéio for Egan ed W lave been made recent crisis. rdino 10111 It is said that the charge in the furnace was melted by too intense a heat, or that insufficient water was played on it. At any rate, without warning, its bottom dropped, and down gushed a fiery flood of metal close to where the three men were working. With the drop of the furn- aCe came a terrible explosion as the molten metal .touched the cold pool of water. Blobs and spheres of hot nietal whirled in every direction, and with them jags of cold metal and other articles swept by the explosion. Escape was impossible for the three men. Their bodies covered with agon- izing burns and their garments flam- ing, they soon collapsed. Soon as it was safe to venture near them, the three other workmen in the factory went to their aid. TWO MEN ARE KILLED AT GRADE CROSSING Their Auto is Smashed to} Pieces by Fast C.P.R. Train. 3 A despatch from Renfrew says:â€" John Moffatt and N. D. Kelly, resi- dents of Arnprior, were instantly killed by the C. P. R. train going east at 2.30 Friday morning at the level crossing near Castleford, 10 miles from Renfrew. Their car was smashâ€" ed to smithereens. They were on their way home from Renfrew Fair. At the place where the accident occurred approaching trains can be seen some distance off, and all sound the usual warning. The automobile was not hit by the engine, but the conclusion is that it was struck by the second coach. Both men were married, Kelly having three of a family.

An internal combusion engine was being tested at the time of the ex- plosion.
