NEW YORK DEATH ROLL,
MORE THAN 1900 PERSONS
BURIED THERE DURING
THE PAST WEEK.
Hundreds of Extra Grave Diggers Call
ed Upon to Perform Their Grue-
some Task and Are Obliged to
Work Night and Day-undertak-
ers Advance Prices 20 Per Cent.

New York, Aug. l7.-Notwiphstand-
ing largely increased forces of grave
diggers working day and night, graves
could not be supplied to fill the demand
al the cemeteries, Sunday.
There was also a shortage of hearses,
and it is necessary to borrow from 9TH
er cities.
There were $50 funerals in New York
during the day. and over 200 in Brook
Ign. Undertakers said the funerals Of
Sunday would be more numerous than
those of any other day in the past week
and that meant more numerous than
in any other day in the history of this
city. They We're right.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday saw
more burials than any seven days of
which cemetery b~ookkeepers can find
a record. These are startling facts. but
there are others as notable. The num-
Der OF children among the dead has
never. in the hottest week OF any year,
been so small as last week. neither has
the hottest week of any year seen so
few burials Of aged people. The aver
age age of persons inferred in three
principal cemeteries vas AZ years.
There were nearly twice as many men
as women buried.
OF the 1910 persons who died in this
city last week. nearly 800 died Thurs
day night, Friday and Saturday. Be-
cause of the difficulty in securing cas-
kets. hearses and carriages, or even I'M
dertakers' services beyond the simplest
and most necessary. nearly all funerals
for that period were delayed until Sun
day. There were sc hearses borrowed
from adjoining towns of New Jersey
and u from Philadelphia. Several New
York undertakers, whose rush was
over. loaned hearses to Brooklyn
friends. Other hearses were added to
Brooklyn's supply from Long Island
towns. as there were nearly one-fourth
Of the weeks $40 dead in that city still
unlouried. The cost of funerals I'd.
vanced about 20 per cent on Friday.
So many graves had been called for
that the force of nearly 300 men at
Calvary cemetery had been increased
by over 100 diggers and the entire force
had worked night and day. At the
Lutheran cemetery. the number of dig
gers had been nearly doubled. and even
then the number Of graves completed
was less than were needed. In conse-
quence many bodies were placed in the
receiving vaults.
All day Father Costello stood in the
tiny chapel al Holy Cross, and pro-
nounced benedictions for the dead.
The funeral rains approached the
chapel in double lines. the hearses
massed around the entrance, where
bearers and the weeping relatives
waited until their turn to enter.

KILLED BY
Alpha Lewis Lost His Life Near Col
den Yesterday.

Golden, Colo, Aug. 17.-During the
progress of a severe electrical storm in
this vicinity this afternoon, Alpha
Lewis was struck by lightning and in
stantly killed. When struck he was
riding horseback along the middle Col
den road about three miles below this
city. He was carrying a scyJhe on his
shoulder at the time, and it is supposed
this attracted the electricity. The
horse on which he was riding was also
killed by the same bolt. Water Com
missioner w. N. Palmer was riding a
short distance behind and was slightly
stunned. but recovered his senses in
time to see Mr.. Lewis and the horse
fall to the ground. Mr.. Lewis was a
new resident in this city. He and his
wife, who is a sister Of Mrs. c. f.
Parfet Of this city. arrived here about a
month ago from Louisiana, Mo. Coro-
ner Huffman wen to the scene of the
accident and returned with the body
this evening.

Thus 1t will be see that the McKin-
ley v could be confined to six
states cAaed as doubtful. and victory
secured by those electoral votes alone.
That ID a great advantage for him to
have over his opponent and the GER
tainty Of McKinley's election increases
when we look over the list OF states
outside Of these in which he has a bet
ter chance Of success than has Bryan.
I believe that to be true Of Oregon, CAL
ifornia and Kansas, having % electoral
votes between them Gov. Morrill,, Of
Kansas. had a majority Of 1900 over
his populist and democratic opponents

vote stood 1B7.as7 for Harrison. against

for the popocfats. Since then, not only
have the republicans won the state
government, but In 1894 their candi-
date for congrcsanAn-st-1Afye had 49,
3s4 plurality. and six of he seven con-
gree districts went republican. the only
district lost lacking ~ votes. For
two years, therefore, the republicans

LAYING OlTT \ HATCHERY,

Sheridan Post: Prof. r. S. Land OF
the branch state hatchery returned last
evening from a trip to Dome Lake,
where he was called to assist in the
selection and laying out of a site for a
private fish hatchery. which the Dome
Lake improvement company is to erect
the next trout Matching period.
for the purpose of keeping that and
other mountain lakes stocked with the
most desirable varieties of trout. Mr..
lIoldrege's party. now at the lake. has
caught fish Weighing one and three
foIrths pounds and measuring 10
inches in length. When it is remem-
bered hat ii is only two years since the
lake was stocked. this will seem some
what remarkable. but it is a fact. and
is accounted for by Mr.. Land on the
knowledge that in large bodies of
water the natural food supply is more
plentiful and the fish grow much faster
than in the rapid streams. The sport
visitors are enjoying there this season
has made Dome lake a famous summer
resort for all time to come.

d totdl VI 4 votes lnat remain IN
the doubtful column. Give them to
Bryan? Not much-not even his own
state. Nebraska held true to republi-
canism in 1892. Wyoming also gave
Harrison its three votes: South Dakota
gave him four, Oregon gave him three
and n to Weaver, while North Dako-
Cleveland and Weaver. Thus the re-
publicans in 1892, when they went un-
der so tremendously, nevertheless held
10 of these SO far western votes now
classed doubtful. In Wyoming and
North Dakota in 1892 the populists and
democrats voted one ticket, as they will
lhis year. yet Harrison got four of the
six electoral votes the two states cast.
Now, emitting Michigan's IA votes,
which many reliable authorities regard
as more doubtful than Nebraska's
eight. we can take the latter state with
the rest of the combination in the ia
bic above, and lack only one vote of
the needed 224, with all of the far west
in which to get that one vote-Oregon.
Washington, California, Idaho. Utah.
Kansas, the two Dakotas. | omit, of
course, the certain Bryan states, like
Colorado, Montana and Nevada. In the
eight far western state | have named,
however, out of which, with Nebraska.
only n vote would be needed, there
are 40 electoral votes in all. Surely,
n Of these a be had, even under the
worst circumstances to be imagined,
for what could be worse than the rever-
sal of 1892. and in that year Harrison
got IA of them. There was a demo-
cratic-populist combination then all
over the west, and it had the benefit of
a strong name behind which to hide its
vicious purposes.
There are yet to he considered the
electoral votes of the south. There
are l59 Of them. OF these 112 may be
regarded as reliably in the Bryan col
umn. and Al are to be vigorously
fought for. These AZ are made us as
follows: Delaware, g.; Maryland, s:
West Virginia. 6; Kentucky. 10 and
Missouri. II. The republicans have
carried all of these and Tennessee be-
sides in the last two years, and repub-
licans sit in the United States senate
as representatives of Maryland and
West Virginia. while a tie vote in the
legislatures OF Delaware and Kentucky
alone kept republicans from being
elected to the senate from those states
also. Hence it Is not at all wide of the
mark for me to say that Mckinley
should have at least half of these At
electoral votes from republican states
in the south. Assuming, then, for the
purpose OF another complication, that
both Michigan and Nebraska fail to
give a Mckinley majority, we Ear then
look to the south for the needed nine
votes and get them from Kentucky
alone or from any two of the three
states OF West Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware.

HENRY l..
POIsoNER ARRESTED.
Held for the Murder OF His Wife and
Her Grandmother.

Webster City. To-, Aug. 17.-Jfm
Paul, who lives between Homer and
Stratford, a arrested this morning
by Sheriff Sinclair on the charge of
murder, and is now in the county Jail,
awaiting the result Of a chemical ana
lysis of the stomach of his supposed
victim.
Monday, July 81, Mrs. Maria Dulin
died at her home in Homer, after an
illness Of two days. Paul had been at
her house the Saturday before and the
old woman was taken sick after eating
supper that night. 1t is reported that
she complained about the tea being bit
ter at that meal. She had several con
vulsions before she finally died Mon
day night and showed some symptoms
OF ~strychnine poisoning. She was the
grandmother Of Jim Paul's wife, who
had died about three weeks previous.
On Saturday following Mrs. Dulin's
death and about four weeks after his
wife was buried. Paul married a girl
living in his neighborhood. He was
suspected Of having killed his wife and
her grandmother and the symptoms in
both cases were those Of strychnine
poisoning. Coroner Eberle commenced
an investigation, but concluded there
was not grounds to Justify holding the
suspect. But developments since that
time have been such that Thursday
the body of Mrs. DuIin was exhumed
and the stomach sent to Dies Moines to
be analysed by the state chemist. 1t
will take several days to make an ex-
pert examination. but, in the chemists
opinion, there was evidence of poison
and as a precautionary measure Paul
was arrested.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Fifteen Injured
at New Holland. Pa.

Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 1.-Two men
were killed. Is or more injured and
several buildings demolished by the ex-
p~losion of % pounds of dynamite at
New Holland. Pa. this morning.
The Pennsylvania Telephone COM
pany is building a new line in that vi
cinity and had stored the explosive in
the summer kitchen of the Eagle hotel.
Early this morning Charles F. Cannon,
an employe Of the company and one OF
the gang just about to start to work,
went to the summer kitchen to get out
enough dynamite for the days use. A
few moments later there was a terrible
explosion and one side of the summer
kitchen was blown out. A big hole in
another side had blood and flesh on the
ragged edges and it is supposed that
The unfortunate man was blown to
atoms.
Frank Hammond of Harrisburg, who
was standing just outside of the build
ms Hau every DoHe Ill HIS 'DDuN broken
and was instantly killed, George
Crosman of Steelton. a water boy, was
also standing near the building. and
was so badly injured that he died while
being brought to this city. Among
those most seriously injured are:
Michael Wade of New Holland: may
die.
Frank Lewis Of Lancaster.
Frank Peale of Scranton.
David Hoffman of Reading.
Joseph Mann of Allentown.
Walter Facsig Of New Holland.
Phillip Lawrence. Lancaster.
John Cotton, Lancaster.

The other buildings close to the sum
mer kitchen were badly wrecked, as
was also part of the hotel, while the
whole front Of a large implement store
was blown out The tin roofs of a num-
Der of houses were ruined.
The damage to property will
amount to a large sum. Just what caus-
ed the explosion can only be c%onjec-
tured. as Cannon was the only person
in the building when it occurred.

CHANCES Of MKINLEY.
CONSERVATIVE FIGURES SHOW
HE is BOUND TO BE
ELECTED.
After Allowing the Populists and Dem
ocrats to Place In the Doubtful
Column Every State West Of Ohio
and Conceding Every Southern
State Mckinley Has 14O Votes.

A number of speculative combina-
tons of electoral votes, more interest
ing than important at this stage Of the
national canvass, are being printed to
show how the result in November may
be brought about. They form a basis
upon which the chances for success Of
either ticket may be estimated. and in
hat way are Of value to those who
like to follow the trend Of affairs and
keep posted on the prospects. 1t is sig
nificant that in every combination that
can be made, after allowing the popu-
list democracy all reasonable claims,
the Mckinley electoral column is much
longer than that of Bryan. In other
words, Mckinley has not sc much dis
puted territory to cover in order to
have a majority Of the 447 Votes that
Will constitute the next electoral COL
lege. Allowing the populist democracy
to place in the doubtful column every
state west of Ohio, and c%onceding that
every southern state should also be
placed there. Mckinley would still have
140 certain electoral votes. or only "a
less than a majority. while the certain
poulist electoral votes cannot Ibe made
to figure up over 1928. even by the most
enthusiastic. Mckinley. therefore, has
a rock bottom of 140 upon which to
build up toward the necessary 224.
while Bryan has 1873. or IL less. The
following shows how l reach these fig
ures by states. while putting in the
doubtful column every state which
either side offers the slightest reason
to dispute:

STOLE 81, 100 FROM A COAL PICKER
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 17.-Mrs. An
ma Luchgelish, a seemingly poor Polish
"oLldA, irving at tVU Sd1UOu SlTStL,
Camden, surprised the Camden police
yesterday, by reporting to them that,
while out picking coal in the morning
some one had forced an entrance into
her home and had stolen about 81, 100
which she had kept there. The police
at first expressed doubt that she could
have had so much money. but she de-
clared that 1t represented the savings
Of many years. and she then described
the money as consisting u seven 100
bills and gold coins, bringing its total
to about $1.100. When she was closely
questioned. she stated that there was
only one person who knew Of the hid
ing place Of the money. and that was q
former 'boarder, who always appeared
to be the closest friend Of the family.
The investigation OF the police dis
closed the fact that he had been set
ing su%spiciously about the house. No
warrant was sworn out for his arrest,
but the police were searching for him
last evening.

Educated In a Wood Shed.

eyes" said the old rancher, "things are
going first rate up in Coon Creek school
district since the niger graduated. That
mig came pretty near breaking up the
school, and at one time l thought we'd
have to make COW shed out Of the school
house.
''You see, up our way education is COM
pulsory. In this district is an old niger
who married squaw, and they had u
pinto boy who was old enough to 60 to
school. The boy didn't want to go, and
his father didn't care whether he did Or
not, but tho law compelled him to send
the boy.
NEARLY all of the residents Of the dis
trict are Missourians and southerners, and
they couldn't reconcile themselves to the
idea Of permitting their children to sit in
school alongside niger. Some declared
they wouldn' t send their children to school
at all If the niger went but I explained
that the niger had to go, and they
couldn't afford to pay taxes to educate the
Niger better than their own children.
Finally we reached a compromise. We
put the children In the main schoolroom
and we put the Niger in the wood shed.
Then we knocked off a board, and the
teacher taught the niger through tho
hole In the wall.
"But the niggor didn't have anything
to play with out in the shed, SO he studied,
and he beat the whole litter of kids through
school. Now everything is peaceable
again. San Francisco Post.
