SUSTAIN HOME INDUSTRIES.


Talking about sustaining home
industries, has it ever occurred to
some of our business men and Off
cials of the county how much they
can keep at home by having their
printing done at home? The point
we are driving at is that the people
of Camden should patronize and
sustain each other. Buy what you
want from home merchants. Don't
send your orders away from home
when you can have them filed at
home. Isn't that good, sound doc
trine? Then isn't it equally sound
for the merchants, county officials,
and business men generally to have
their printing done at home? In
stead of sending $40, $25, or $50 to
the printers of some other town or
city, to be by them spent with the
merchants and business men Of that
place, pay it out to home printers
where it will be expended among
home merchants and home indus
tries. Even if it should cost a little
more, it will pay to keep the money
at home. Is it not fact that men
violate the first principles Of bust
ness by spending their money away
from home for things they can get
at home? This will apply to print
ing just the same as anything else
and the printer is peculiarly deserv-
ing of having this principle applied
in his behalf. The printer is more
than craftsman, more than skill.
ed laborer; he is an agent Of civil.
cation, as we'll as a prime factor il
the development and progress Of his
town and county, and in upholding
and sustaining the purity Of oul
public institutions. Thousands o.
dollars can be kept at home in this
way. No doubt there are many
who have never looked at the mat
ter in this light, which is all the
more important that they should dc
SO. Think Of it. Keep the printe.
busy, and sustain home industry.

SEARCHING THE RUINS.

The Full Extent OF the Chicago Disaster
Cannot lie Learned Until the Ruins
Are Cleared Away-Bodies Supposed to
BE Under the Heap.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The fall OF night
found the ruins of the cold storage
building UNEMPLOYED, and it is just be-
ginning to be realized that the full en-
tent of Mondays disaster can not be
ascertained until the mountain of rub
Dish is sifted and carried away. At
some points the accumulation OF debris
is from fifteen to twenty feet high, and
it is impossible to know how many
charred bodies may rest beneath until
these heaps have been thoroughly ex-
amined. The search is necessarily
slow and tedious, owing to the vast
amount of iron and machinery that in
cumbers the ruins and the inextricable
net work of rods and bars formed by
the intense heat.
The complete list of dead SO far as
known is as follows: Capt James Fitz-
patrick. Lieut. John II. Freeman. Will
liam Denning, Philip b. Breen, Capt
James A. Carney, John Mcbride. John
Cahill, Paul Schroeder, Capt. Burton Z.
Page, Lieut.. Chas. Purvis, John A.
Smith, John Campbell, Edward Fowler,
Jasper Stanford, of Buffalo, KY, X. A.
Drummond, John Murphy and Charles
Hutton. Lewis j. Frank, one of the
injured firemen, is in precarious
condition and the doctors ut the
hospital are fearful for his recovery.
The other injured men are in fair
way to get we'll. In all thirteen bodies
have been removed from the ruins
Besides these, three firemen died at the
hospital.
The point near the smokestack, where
many of the unfortunate men were
seen to jump, is covered with tangled
mass of steam pipe and eharred timbers
fully twenty feet high. 1t is now
definitely known that a number of
workmen employed in the building
assembled the fatal tower with the fire.

Drummond he, with three or four work
men, was on his way up the tower with
fire extinguishers. Before they could
have had time to reach the top OF the
ladders that scaled the interior walls
the whole mass toppled over.
The heavy financial loss entailed by
the cold storage fire caused the Her
.cules iron works, owners of the plant,
to make an assignment. The Chicago
