AS the IndeG-Appe0l says, whatever
disappointmentst there may have been
by reason of the legislation of the past
Congress, every Democrat should now
be aroused to an active interest in the
fight which his party is making to re-
tain the supremacy. This is not a
time for any voter to be apathetic or
Indifferent. Every man who is truly a
Democrat at heart will not be less of a
Democrat now because of what Con-
gress has done. There should be no
lack of fidelity to the party because it
has not fully accomplished what it set
out to do; or, perhaps, has done In
some particular instances that which
is not agreeable to all it's members. In
whatever respect it may have fallen
short of its promises, it has still done
enough to make it the party of the
people, and it should receive their
hearty support now as in the past.

FIVE men BURNED.
Explosion in the Cellar of q
Flooded Paint Shop
Spontaneous Combustion Believed
to Be the Cause.
Victims Able to Leave Fordham
Hospital for Their Homes.

Two alarms OF fire were sent in for
fire which started in the cellar OF Will
lam Moore's paint shop, 1926 Third ave-
nue.. at $50 o'clock this morning. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion.
Moore and four of his workman were
about to take from the cellar some
barrels Of oil and paint, which were
floating about in several feet OF water
when an explosion occurred and all of
the men we're painfully burned about the
face and h,nds. They were removed to
the Fordha am Hospital where their
wounds were dressed, after which they
were able - go to their homes.
The injured were William Moore
owner of the paint shop, and Charles
Goodwin, twenty-three years old, Of 49,
East One Hundred and Thirteenth street;
Oscar Goodwin, nineteen years old. OF
727 Park avenue; Frederick Edmiston,
seventeen years old, of 1898 Arthur ave-
nue., and Andrew Knab. nineteen years
old. of Kingsbridge road and Wander
bilt avenue. All are employees OF
Moore.
The heavy rain of vest eriay and last
night filled up the sewers in Fordhar1,
and the water flowed into Moore's cell
lar, where he kept his oils and paints.
MS SnOp is on tne BTOuIlu hOOI, over
which he and his wife live.
The water in the cellar was about
three feet deep, and the floating barrels
of oil occasionally rubbed up agains,
each other. Moore and Knab had pre-
| viously been in the cellar this morning
and were standing In water UP to their
| waists when the explosion, which shook

SAW A WOMAN ABDUCTED.
MiIlburn Police Are Inyestiga ting
Remarkable Story.

MILBURN. N. j.. Sept. 2o.-The police
are investigating a peculiar story told
by George jefferson, a colored man
who resides at Irvington. He claimed
that while crossing Springfield avenue.
near the Springfield Hotel, last night,
he witnessed the forcible abduction OF
pretty young woman.
His attention was first attracted to
her. he said. by the furious driving of O
horse and carriage down the avenue.
jefferson says that, assisted by William
Lewis. friend, he stopped the horse
and asked the cause OF the trouble.
The girl was crying bitterly and trying
to get away. She said the young man
who was with her was trying to drug
her and take her to a road house, but
her companion insisted that she was
his sister. that she ran away from
home, and that he proposed to take her
there.
The girl appealed to the colored man
for assistance. and he started to help
her. but the young abductor struck him
heavy blow over the head with the
whip, at the same time whipping up his
horse.
The two men started In pursuit, but
were speedily distanced. The police
throughout Essex County have been
notified. and some claim to have slight
corroborative evidence that the story
by the col6red man Is true.

BLACKSMITH-SHOP BURNED.
Firemen Believe Weinstcin Started
the Fire by Accident.


Flames, which did 500 damage, started
at g. 80 o clock this morning in the black
smith shop of Louis Weinstein, at 1893
Division street. The shop is in the
basement of three-story brick build
ing.
At 2to o'clock Policeman O'Connell,
passing the Division street house, heard
some one rafting the door of the black
smith shop. He asked who was, there,
that of Weinstein, answered: That's
went on. and thought no more of the
affair.
Nearly an hour after that flames were
discovered in the shop. A woman liv-
ing in the rear of the house, In East
Broadway, saw the smoke, gave the
alarm and the engines were there d.
rectly. The shop, however. was COM
pletely destroyed.
The firemen made an investigation,
and learned. among other things. that
Weinstein was hard drinker, and that
he smoked cigars constantly.
The firemen came to the conclusion
that the blacksmith had gone to his
shop intoxicated and had accidentally
started the fire by carelessly throwing
away lighted cigar. They believe that
he tried to put out the fire himself, but
when he saw that II was beyond his
control he ran away and left It.
The place was not insured and the
Fire Marshal does not regard the fire
as suspicious.
