Deadly gas explosion at Jones & Laughlin plant blast furnace
Ten workers killed and about twice as many injured in a gas explosion at the Sola furnace on Seeland Avenue in Pittsburgh near Branford Street. The blast sent molten metal and debris onto the top of the furnace where 14 men were working. Eyewitnesses describe a terrifying, fiery scene as workers tried to escape and rescue crews moved in. Official figures vary, with nine dead and five injured initially reported and later updates listing identifiable victims and hospitalizations.

Legal Battle Over Spalding Presidency Hits Supreme Court
In New York on December 11 the second inning of the dispute between A. G. Spalding and Andrew Freedman opened before Judge Scott in the New York supreme court. Arguments will address whether Freedman’s injunction restraining Spalding from acting as National League president should be made permanent or vacated. A venue change to the U.S. circuit court is likely, given the interstate nature of the league. Bav Johnson of the American League is expected to discuss the situation with Spalding, fueling talk of a possible Spalding-American League merger. The outcome could delay next season and widen the legal tangle.
