The Irish standard., 1898-07-02

The American Book Company has
never explained why the passage of DR..
Russell, the war correspondent of the
London Times, in reference to the
charge of Meagher's brigade at Marye's
Heights, was metamorphosed in the new
edition of Barnes Brief History of the
United States" SO as to deprive the gal
liant lrishmen of the glory won by them
on that occasion. The publishing firm,
in question is veritable trust which
exacts from school boards by written
contract the sole right of furnishing
them with their publications for stated
term of years. The contract system
established by such a book concern
should be Immediately abolished
The Irish standard., 1898-07-02

An anonymous correspondent at Oak
land. CAL, writes an insulting letter TO
the San Francisco Monitor in favor of an
Anglo-Saxon alliance, in which he says:
did you notice that almost all the fell
lows that have been killed in the war
are Irish? If that continues there will
be few left to oppose an alliance of the
Anglo-Saxon races of the hemispheres,
which would be good thing"

Wo0DLAWN DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

The Woodlawn Democratic Club, a pre-
cinct organization of Greenville, held a
meeting last evening in Woodlawn Hall.
About fifty were present when ]. Marnell
spoke, He told of the extravaganza of
the Republican party. and quoted figures
to bear out his statements. He told the
members that it was necessary to elect
the whole State ticket if they wanted
proper legislation. "A Democratic Sem
ate. Democratic Legislature. and a
Democratic Governor are what we must
elect he said. s'and then the people will
secure the form of government that has
been sadly missed since the Republicans
went into office.
M. ]. Cannon, of Hoboken. also urged
the necessity of electing the whole Demo
cratic ticket. MIR. Matthews told of how
he came to this country and how he was
nor long in deciding which party he would
join forces with. The Democratic party
IS the only party, he said He also spoke
of how the Democratic party purified the
pension lists. He said he hoped that
Griggs was the last Republican Governor
that would ever be elected in this State.
He scored ex-Sheriff Toffey for his action
in hiring men to go into saloons on Sun
days to gather evidence and said It was
done to obiige men like Scudder. He said
that any law, established by man, that
conflicts with the laws of nature, should
not be obeyed, adding that just as long
as beer was made there would be men

FOUR MEN HURT
Three Seriously Burned In
an Explosion at CaveD
Point.

An explosion, which will probably re-
suit fatally to at least one and possi-
bly, three men, occurred shortly before
ten o'clock this morning at the Eagle OH
Company's Works, Cayen Point. Three
men We're seriously burned and battered
all over their bodies. and a fourth re-
ceived number Of painful injuries about
the head and hands. The injured men
are
William Chisters of No. 81 Bostwick
avenue
Patrick Jordan, No. g sstegman avenue s,,e
James Meehan, No. q Stegman avenue.
The injuries of the three first named
are serious. They are in ST. Francis
Hospital. Days was badly burned but

custom, each day, to steam out the build

1t is supposed that considerable gas ac-
cumnlated, and it was that which ex-
ploded The only way in whichxthe gas
could possibly have become ignited was
by friction OF the machinery, causing
None of the four men who were in the
building knows exactly what happened,
but suddenly there was a terrific ex-
plosion, which tore the machinery loose
and sent portions of it hurting through
the walls. The north wall was carried
away entirely. The whole place was in
stantly mass of flames, and the four
men were hurled in as many directions.
Days was lifted off his feet and sent fly
ing over the engine. It was a miracle
that he was not killed, but strangely
enough he escaped with less injuries than
his fellows. That was probably due to
the fact that he was thrown out of the
way of the fire. The other men, although
badly injured, realized that to remain in
the place meant death. They managed to
drag themselves out of the building to
tho office.
AS soon as the explosion occurred every
man on the reservation dropped his
work and ran to his station, as there
was great danger of the fire spreading to
the other and longer buildings. The po-
lice were notified of the accident and the
patrol wagons from the Ocean and Com
munipaw avenue stations, and the City
Hospital ambulance were hurried to the
scene. The Fire Department was noti-
fed and Battalion Chief Hogan and sew

Chief Hogan deserves great credit for the
quick time he made in reaching the fire.
The Oil Companys fire brigade had the
flames well under control when the local
firemen arrived.

in the Offices, being cared for by their sfel-
low workmen. City Physician Broderick
ed the burns and attended to the wounds
of the injured men. They were taken to
St. Francis Hospital.
Considering the great danger there is
on the oil reservation. the accidents have
been remarkably few. Mr.. Graft said.
this morning, that the Eagle Oil Company
has a record of but one man killed in
twenty years. and the number injured in
exulOSiODS has been VERY small.
