Assistant Fire Marshal Musham also
had a narrow escape. When the third
explosion came, he was standing on the
sidewalk directly over the natural gas pipe
from which the ignited gas was flowing.
The walk was lifted into the air and the
marshal was thrown backward into the
street, lighting on the back of his head.
He was stunned for a few moments, but
he was not seriously injured. How the
gas became iRnited is a mystery. Tbs
police are inclined to place the blame on
the workmen, but it is doubtful whether
the cause will ever be discovered.

Coal baron looking out of the frosty
window. speaking to employees: Put up
the price OF coal another % cents God
pity the poor"
At q recent meeting of the Patria club,
Mr.. Charles Emory Smith of the Phila-
phis Press read a paper on "Immigra-
tion." 10 which he voiced the sentiment of
thoughtful men OF all political and re-
ligious schools and parties. He fully
recognized the value of immigration in
the past, and paid a tribute 20 the high
character of the immigrants. They have
adored and illustrated some of the noblest
and most inspiring pages of our national
history, and stand as examples in BUSH
ness and social life.
Recently the character of the immigra-
ton has significantly changed. 1t is no
longer Great Britain and Ireland, Ger
many and France which contribute the
larger quota. but Austria-Hungnry, Po-
land, Italy and Russia 1.-THE earlier i'm
migration came from hardy people. 1t
brought intelligence, aptitude and
strength. The newer immigration brings
ignorance, degradation and depravity
The new invaders do not assimilate. but
remain an alien and disturbing element"
Mr. Smith thinks this sort of iEamgra-
ton brings the greatest danger which
American labor has ever faced. I'm MANY
cases it does not own itself. but is practi-
cally the chain gang OF the contractor 1t
huddle5 in its own community, preserves
its own language, and keeps up its own
habits. II is iso ated in the midst of cos
mopolitan whirl aud remains foreign"
OF course, organized labor can do little
with such material. To US ii seems to be
equally menacing 10 religion and he state.
Many OF these people are anarchists, who
cry Down with all government Down
with the church, Down with the family !"
Statesmanship and christianity have got
to deal with this serious question-and
soon, too. Desirable immigrants are
thrice welcome. The other sort ought to
20 into the prohibitive tariff.
IT'S pathetic, the fact that the great
part OF every life proceeds in utter isola-
ton. The visible and audible portions of
it is easily seen or heard. But the life
within life. where we are ourselves the
sole spectators of ourselves, the hidden
realm where thought 10 born and acts are
nurtured- what adventurous feet ever
penetrated into and mapped out this terra
incognito? Yet this is precisely the local
ity of motives, the nursery of character,
the Mecca of the mind"
Every noble word or deed had first it's
origin in this invisible life. And go every
ignoble utterance or act came out OF this
same realm Withdrawn from sight What
reason is there that we should watch this
sphere of beginnings ourselves. since We
only can watch it? But tits pathetic We
repeat, the thought that

 An agreement was also reached that a vote should be taken on the ant-option bill Wednesday and in this the steering eommittes of the democrats has agreed. Favorable action WAS taken in the diree- ton of setting aside an early day for the consideration of the biil submitted to the interstate com merce committee. The proposition to guarantee the bonds of the Nicaragua canal came up, but WAS not discussed at any length. That there is trouble ahead on the silver question Is evident from the attitude of MT. Teller and MT. Stewart, both of whom will bitterly oppose the repeal of the Sherman act. MT. Stewart declined to en- ter the caucus, but will join with Mir Tel Ter in anything that will help along silver.
 It is said that many senators who do not favor free coinage will not vote to repeal the Sherman act. ss they look upon 1t as a ssfety-valve that ought not to be tempered with.
 Immediately after the caucus Mir Teller waa In earnest conversation with demo- cratic senators on the floor.

 Charges Against the Captains are
 Sustafned.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The trials of the police officials against whom charges of neglect of duty were made last week by Superintendent Byrnes were begun before the police commissioners to day. The first cases were those of Inspector Williams aud Captain Doherty. They pleaded not guilty. Superintendent Byrnes made statement setting forth that Williams and Doherty had permitted gambling to be carried on at places in East Fourteenth street and the Rowery, which were rsided on January by officers under the direction of the su- perintendent. The alleged prnprietors of the Bowery establishment testified that no gambling had gene on in their house for e year past.
 After hearing several other witnesses the commissioners went into secret session and at the end of an hour and & half decided that the charges preferred by the superin- tendent were true, but as the First and large territory the inspectors must rely on the statements and reports made by cap tsins. They, therefore, found the inspect ors not guilty.
 In the cases of Captains Stevenson, Westervelt and Doherty, the board found that the captains were negligent In the discharge of their duties. The captains were severely censured and reprimanded.
