DEATH AT A PRIVATE CELEBRATION
Prominent Chicagoan Killed While Set
ting Of Fireworks.

Prominent Chicagoan Killed While Set
ting OF Fireworks.
New Bedford, Mass, July 6.-Henry
B. Stone. formerly president of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad,
and president of the Chicago Telephone
company, was instantly killed at Nom
quit yesterday morning by an explo-
sion of fireworks. Stone with his fam
lily and other summer residents Of Nom
quit were celebrating the holiday with
a handsome display of day fireworks.
Among them was a mine which was so
devised as to scatter paper animals Of
various colors. Stone had applied the
torch to this piece, but for some reason
1t did not appear as If the spark was
going to reach the mine. Stone ad-
yanced and took the piece up in his
hands, when it exploded, striking him
full In the face. His features were bad
ly mutilated and he sustained a COM
pound fracture of the skull.
His friends who were present cannot
tell just how the accident occurred. One
gentleman who was present states that
when the bomb did not at once go off
and seemed as If it was not going to,
Stone took 1t in his hands, holding 1t
quite close to his face, presumably to
fan the spark into a blaze by blowing
upon 1t. Before the party had fairly
turned to view the explosion they were
Mortified to see Stone drop to the ground
amid crash and volume of flame and
smoke. A physician was Immediately
called, but nothing could be done, Mr..
Stone having been instantly killed by
the shock.

A Strange Ordinance.

fit he true that the Transient Trader
ordinance which became law on Janu-
ary 7 last prevents man from going
into business in this city until he has
resided here six months, it is ONLY an
other evidence of the unfitness Of the
average alderman to distinguish between
right and wrong, between justice and
injustice, between good public policy
and a narrow-sig GIFTED and dog-in-the-
manger spirit. Most people can under
stand and approve of a law compelling
transient traders, who are here to-day
and away tomorrow, and who have no
interest IN coming here but to make all
they can in a few days, or weeks, and
leave, being compelled to pay license;
out why a man who represents one of
the greatest business houses Of the ma
ton, who leases store for year and
who carries n stock of up-to-date goods,
as c. F. Todd, 1908 Tower avenue, does,
should be classed among transient trad
ers, will puzzle the average mortal to
discover The idea of compelling man
to live here six months before going in
to business is an outrage. 1t is opposed
to enterprise, to commercial develop
ment, to the best interests Of the city.
1t would be no less unjust to compel
man to remain idle for six months after
coming here. This is not the way to
develop the city, and the sooner this

solicitor would approve of such an Or

WAR NEWS.
Fierce Fighting at Valestlno...The
Turks Twice Repulsed.

News from Pharsalos of May 5 SAYS
the Greek line was attacked by Turk
ish force of 10000 infantry, in addition
to artillery and cavalry, and that thew
were repulsed with great slaughter. The
railway station at Pharsalos was des-
troyed by Turkish shells.
News from Volo under date of We'd
nesday says that the greatest battle of
the war commenced that morning near
Nalestino. Four Thousand Turks at
tempted to seize the hills on the north
dividing Pharsalos from Nelestino, but
were repulsed.
The Athens correspondent of the
London Daily Mail saws: Ten thousand
Turks attacked the Greek position at
Nalestlno on Wednesday. The fire
ceased at O'Clock in the afternoon the
Greeks evidently having gained a great
advantage. There is great slaughter at
Pharsalos. Prince Constantine wires
from there: 'Our side has conquered"
General Smolenski wires: "The bri-
gade at Nelestino is deluged with
blood"
A private despatch received at Athens
from Veiestino, at So pm. Wednesday,
reported that battle had commenced
at Availie, between Nelistino and Phar-
salos,
All is perfectly quiet at Larissa.
An American man-of-war has joined
the international squadron at Phalerum.
Prince Constantine denies that he
ordered retreat from Matt. The re-
treat was ordered by some one else. He
ordered the retreat from Larissa because
it was impossible to hold that place I'M
der the circumstances.
The Greeks have captured the English
vessel in which Sir Ashmead Bartlett,
the Anglo American member of parlia-
ment, recently visited the Turks. The
vessel will be taken to the Piraeus for
examination. 1t is reported that docu-
ments of seriously compromising ma
ture have been found on the schooner.
Athens, May The most decisive
battle SO far was fought on Wednesday,
the Greek army, after intlicting terrible
losses upon the Turks, having been
forced to fail back to another position.
The Turks numbered about $4,000,
while the Greeks only numbered about
10000.
''The sight was superb" says the
London Mails correspondent. In many
cases the Greeks fought with the despe-
ration of despair. The great black
masses, forming the rear guard to hold
the bridge covered the rich, green
plain. The endurance and dash of the
Turks was significant. l reached the
battlefield with regiment whose men
Immediately began to run forward,
dancing under fire and shouting like
children when they saw the enemy.
The Greeks repulsed them and followed
up the repulse. The Turkish army
had formed in semi-circle of thunder
ing batteries and cracking battalions.
The division on the extreme Iight tried
to cut off the retreat to DOmOkOs, while
tho remainder of the force flung itself
upon Pharsalos.
Before ) o'clock the last village north
of the river had been taken. The bat
tie ceased at nightfall.
The Greek army began a retreat at
o'clock on Thursday morning and
when the Turks awoke there were no
Greeks in sight.
The Greeks have taken up strong
position at DOmokis.
