BAD AOClDENT.
An Elm Grove Boys Narrow Escape From
Death.


Last Saturday morning an eleven
year-old son OF VIM. Dennis, the we'll
known coal miner Of Elm Grove, suffered
most painful accident and made q
narrow escape from being killed. By
the explosion OF a large dynamite cart
ridge the boys hand was nearly shot
AWAY. The first two fingers OF his
right hand were shot OF, the thumb was
torn away at the first joint with the
finger next the little one, leaving only
the small finger unharmed, The boys
face was also painfully torn from the
explosion.
The lad had getten the cartridge from
fellow PLAYMATE and was hammering
az it with fork when the accident oc-
Cured. Pieces of the shell tore
away the fingers and passed,
striking rain barrel, pene-
tratinR an inch into the oak lumber.
DIR. ii. p. Chambers, OF Elm Grove, was
called, and aided by DR.. j. c. Carter, Of
Triadelphia, two of the stumps Of I'm
gers were amputated and the other in
jured ones dressed.
The doctors believe that the boy made
one of the narroWest escapes from death,
as If the shell had been exploded toward
him, nothing would have saved his life.

bach, caught his right thumb between

A more delightful event could not
well be imagined than that at the home
of Miss Maggie Barclay, of No. 27
Tweuty-eighth street, last evening.
The occasion for so much social enjoy
ment was the celebration Of the TWEEN
ty-seveuth birthday of VIM. Bach, the
popular Hook and Ladder fireman.
Miss Barclay, who proved herself a
most charming hostess, was the leader
in the planning OF the surprise, which
was so well carried out. Early in the
evening about twenty couples, among
them being several firemen from differ
emit engine houses, assembled, and then
began a most pleasant evenings enter
taiument. One of the features of the
evenings pleasures was the most eX-
celleut feast which was spread. The
genial fireman was, of course, the guest
of honor, and 10 was evident that he
never before realized just how popular

The Friend Of Anarchists.

Congressman Dewitt Warner Of New
York should have his political career cut
of short by mis- constituents. The bill 10
prevent the landing Of anarchists in this
country. which passed the Senate several
days ago. and which was before the House
on Monday, was prevented from passing
by MIN. He was the only man in the
House who objected u the passage Of the
bill There was not a quorum present,
and the bill could only pass by unanimous
consent. Warner was told that it was Of
the utmost Importance that the bill should
become a law; that there are 500 or more
anarchists, who had been driven out Of
Italy and France. on their way to this
country, ard that there was no
way Of preventing them from landing on
our shores and fomenting strife unless
the bill became law. He beloved and
rOared and declared he would never
vote TO prevent persons who had ex-
pressed anarchistic sentiments from find
ing a home in the United States.
Congressman Warner is the kind of a
man who should be left at home, and he
will be left there at the next election un-
less the majority of the voters OF his
district are anarchists He is certainly
an unfit man to help make laws for
the people of this country He
knows very well that the anarchists
who have been driven out of Italy and
France are human monsters, and that
their hand is against every man who
favors law and order.
There is no doubt that the anti-anarch-
ist bill is a step in the right direction.
We have enough anarchists now. Those
who are on their way here should be
stopped at the PORTS and turned back.

Yes, I've had a hard streak of it, but the
worst luck ever had was Monday night

brace for q couple Of hundred or more should
the right kind Of a hand come rEy way.
And IL anne. 1t was a Jackpot for $40

the value Of the POT. The liveryman raised
him 80 and everybody stayed. | drew to a
straight flush, open in the middle l needed
the nine Of hearts to make an eight nine ten,

and. bless your soul, there was the nine-sp
looking at me with nine eyes. each as big as
an arc light. Well. the phosphate man had
three little mines. The liveryman had raised
him on two pair, and filled his hand The
cattle king laid two pairs down, when the
betting goc stl1, and why I called every
time a man raised, until finally. seeing one OF
them weakening, I raised the pot for all |
was worth.
Just at that moment-it was Monday, be

Of lightning, with q spang. bang boom and a
rumble that shook the earth on its very foun-
dalton Great Jehosephat, out went the cleo
trio lights. every man jumped to his feet,
cards. chips and everything went winding. 1t
took half hour to straighten things out
The three voted to play the jackpot over
