Labor Scarce In southern Russia.

For some reason which is not appar-
ent, in a country where distress is ex-
treme and the number of unemployed
enormous, the demand for labor in the
coal mines of south Russia is greatly
in excess of the supply. 1t is impos-
sible to procure sufficient labor to work
the mines for the supplying of barest
needs, and railways, factories and
many other industrial interests are
suffering seriously for lack of coal. In
deed, the people of the Don district are
greatly Inconvenience by lack of coal
for domestic uses. The owners have
orders on hand for great quantities of
coal, which thay are entirely unable to
supply. A conference under govern
ment auspices was held few days ago,
and it was decided to try and attract
labor to the mines by making grants Of
public lands to the miners N. Y. Sun.

BRAVE FIREM EN-.
TbIrty-five Fire Fighters DsngerousI
Burned by Exploding Oil

ThIrty-five Fire Fighters Dangerously
Burned by Exploding Gil
BRADDOCK. Pa, May 14-The barrel
house at Emery's refinery in this city
took fire yesterday afternoon, presum-
ably by spontaneous combustion and
was destroyed The loading racks and
five tank cars standing on side track
of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burgh road were also burned
While the firemen were making
a final stand and thousands of
people were watching it, there was a
tremendous explosion. A tank car
holding 4, 100 gallons of benzine had let
go with a mighty roar. Fortunately
the burning benzine which was thrown
into the air in sheets of liquid fire had
consumed itself before settling down
over the crowd.
The explosion was followed by
panic that cannot be described in
words. Blind, unreasoning, pitiless
instinct of self-preservation showed it
self, and the weak went down before
the strong in multitudes of cases. in
the frantic rush to escape what seemed
to threaten horrible death
In the stampede men as we'll
as women and children were
thrown down and trodden over by
the flying masses that surged up from
behind. Thirty-five of the firemen
were burned so that the skin peeled OFF
their faces and hands, and the hair
was singed off their heads and faces.
OF the many others who are slightly
burned there is no record, and the total
number of those burned and injured in
the stampede will probably reach 100
persons. With all the suffering this
fire will cause, the property loss will
not exceed S. 600

pected by African travellers that this

its poison from the dead bodies of wild
animals This theory is now strongly
supported by NJ. Foa, the French e&-
plorer. He proves that in the Trans
vaal the tsetse is no longer a pest pre-
sumably owing to the almost complete
extinction of wild carnivorous animals
On the contrary, in the region of the
Zambesi. where wild elephants and
other animals die and putrefy, the tsetse
is still a plague. Louis Republic

BROOKLYN, May 13-Just after serv-
ice at noon yesterday, and while DIR.
Talmage was shaking hands with MEM
bers of his congregation. fire burst out
between the pipes of the organ and
within ten minutes the big tabernacle
was doomed to total destruction. Ad-
joining the church was the Hotel Re-
gent eight stories in height

these structures did not exceed SIS. 000-
The total loss, however, reaches over
81, 900, 600
The doctor held quite a reception at
his home during the afternoon. DIR.
Talmage made a graphic statement of
the incidents connected with the fire.
He said: 'At the close of the church
service 1 was standing at the foot of
the pulpit shaking hands with hum
dreds of people from all lands. l was
about through and walked toward the
center of the church where nv wife
stood, when she called my attention to
fire springing out from the top of the
organ. l saw at once that it was
, under full Roadway and my first i'm
pulse was to look around and see how
many people were then in church and
to my great joy there were only about
twenty and with twenty-five doors to
get out through, l felt they would all
escape"
When asked for his own opinion as
to the cause of the fire, he said emphat-
ically:
Electric lights Electricity caused
this fire, as it did in the last tabernacle
on Schermerhorn street.
The fire spread with lightning-like
rapidity and before sunset had de-
stroyed property to the value of nearly
81, 900, 600
The furniture in the Hotel Regent
which cost from 5000, 900 to $3.50, 900, is
entirely destroyed, the total loss on the
building and its contents footing up in
the neighborhood of $3.50, 600 This loss
falls upon the Brooklyn Hotel Co.. and
will be largely increased by the indi-
vidual losses to the guests. The loss
on the church is not far short of $780,
900.
The trustees held a meeting and de-
cided to rebuild. The insurance will
a bout pay the Indebtedness.
