Them Went Speedily.
John j. O'Reilly, the brewers supply
agent, says he cannot begin to meet the de-
mand for eighth barrels. for which brewers
are clamoring. Mr.. O'Reilly stated that
since May 1, he has sold to Pittsburg brew
ers over $4,000 empty eighths. Many of
them, he claims, goes to private families,
where every house becomes a saloons
People who have experimental, he
adds, have found that they can
get on an:average IS quart bottles of beer
from an eighth keg, and have gone into the
bottling business for themselves. The beer
costs them 81, or less than cents per quart.
In great many cases they have some left
over, and gradually they are drawn into the
"speak easy" business.
All of this, Mr.. O'Reilly claims, is the
direct result of the high license law as in
terpreted by Judge White, and he adds
that, while the coopers cannot turn out
eighths fast enough, the demand for halves
and full barrels has not been increased.

Ruin AND DEATH.

It Is Brought About by Careless Indiana
Farmer Who Tries to Dry out Some
Dynamite-Hs Home Wrecked and His
Wife and Daughter Killed.
IOGANsPoRT. Ind, March 25.-A terrible
explosion of dynamite occurred in this
county about clock Saturday afternoon.
The home of Aaron York, containing his
entire family except himself, was blown
up Early in the day the family
were in this city and purchased
a quantity of dynamite for stump blow
ing Upon arriving home they found
the package to be damp, and with careless
abandon York placed the dynamite in the
stove TO dry while he went to the barn to
care for his stock In few minutes came
an awful defamation, heard for miles and
the center and main portion of the house
was blown to atoms. Mrs. Catherine York
was the most horribly mangled and
was found dead near the wall of
the kitchen, against which she was hurled
Great splinters were driven into the body of
the 7-yearold girl and one side of Mcpherson
blackened and burned Her death was in
Simultaneous. A boy Is years old was blown
out of the door and many feet away and
alighted uninjured. A 4-year-old boy was
blown through the ceiling but is expected
TO live. The most miraculous escape was
that of the baby which slept in a crib,
from which the top and wheels were blown
without injury to the child York escaped
all flying missiles, but is almost insane from
the dreadful result of his carelessness.
