KICKED BY
A HORSE !
Victims Of a Vicious Animal That Got
AStray.
A MAN AND TWO BOYS INJURED
Jchr Leary Received evere Scalp Wound.
One of the Boys Was Kicked in the
stomach-The other Victim
Had His Thigh Injured,

Considerable excitement was occasioued
this afternoon by vicious horse owned by
William Novitsky, Of East Lloyd street,
running through the streets. As a result Of
the animals vicious kicks there are two boys
and man under the care of doctors. The
horse is the same one that got at large twice
within the past few weeks and on Que Of the
occasions kicked a small boy that got too
close to its heels while it was running along
Main street.
This morning the horse got ont Of its stable
when Novitsky's son opened the door. The
boy ran after the animal and received a kick
in the left thigh which disabled him. but
fortunately caused no fracture. The run
away then galloped through the town to the
flats" on West Coal street, and then went
northward and made its way through the
bushes and around the mine breaches on the
mountain until it reached the cemeteries,
when it returned and went to Brownsville.
At that place number of boys gathered
about the horse and one named Monaghan
was kicked in the stomach, causing serious
injury.
The efforts of several men to capture the
horse failed as the animal was an artful
dodger and it ran along Coal street to Jardin.
When it got near Lloyd street some men
engaged in repairing the Trinity Reformed
church parsonage stopped the horse. John
Leary, the plasterer, stopped TO pick up one
Of the reins, which was trailing on the
ground. and as he did so the horse kicked
him on the top of the head. The front calk
of the shoe made half moon shaped lacera-
tion of the scalp, but fortunately caused no
serious injury to the skull Leary's head is
evidently of the Harveyized cahbre, as the
kick did not knock him down, and he says il
even did not create dizziness. The victim
went to DR.. NJ. S. Kistler who put seven
stitches in the wound.
The accident was not the wind up of the
horses tour. When Leary was kicked the
other men scattered. Taking advantage of
this, the horse again ran off, 1t Travelled
along Jardin street to Centre, and then to
White street, where a crowd Of boys caused
it to retrace its steps as far as Pear alley.
When it got at the rear of the Beddall
building several men tried to effect
capture, aud they succeeded after
several narrow escapes from the horses
heels. The animal objected to the presence
of wagon standing in the alley and pounded
the vehicle with its heels in such manner
that the bystanders momentarily expected to
see the wheels fly into the air. After the
capture was effected Constable Bolin took
charge of the horse and restored it to the
owner.

Declares He VIII Vote to Seat NJ. s.
Quay In the Senate.
New York, April 26.-In an inter-
view last night Senator Frye, of Maine,
said in response to queries: "The
Coghlan incident may result unpleas-
antly to Captain Coghlan, but l have
no idea that a war with Germany will
be the outcome. If Germany should
wage war on the United States she
would lose her best customer and
would nave a revolution on her hands
at home within six months. I be-
lieve that Speaker Reed intends to re-
sign. l believe Mr.. Reeds retirement
is actuated solely by a desire to i'm
prove his financial condition, and no
thinks there is a better chance to do
so in New York than in Maine. Still,
| won't say that Mr.. Reed has not
also a political anchor to windward,
and realizes that New York offers
many opportunities for political pro-
ferment. About the coming presi-
Dental campaign, l have not given It
much attention. In my opinion Bryan
will be nominated by the Democrats.
It is my belief that the issues of the
war will be the features in the next
presidential campaign. What will the
senate do in relation to Quay? l can't
speak for all the senators, but l know
l shall vote to seat Mr.. Quay"

OF BENZOA !
Kills Two Persons and Fatally
Burns Two Others.
OVER A SCORE WERE INJURED.

The Force OF the Explosion was So
Terrific That Two Adjoining Build
ings Were Demolished-M
Escape offs Man Handling the Benzot
Philadelphia, April 26.-By the ex-
ploslon Of 70 gallons Of benzol in the
laboratory Of Frank II. Fleer & Co,
manufacturers Of chewing gum, at Nos.
2343 and 23i5 Callowhtil street, yes
terday two men were killed and over
a score Of others we're more OF less in
jured by flying debris. The dead are:
Walter Manwaring. assistant superin-
tendent, and Charles Mckinley, en-
gineer. OF those who we're injured
Harry Randall, another employe, was
the most seriously hurt, but he will
recover. AS Mrs. Givison, with her
child in her arms. was hurriedly leav-
ing her home, which was directly op-
posite the laboratory, her dress caught
fire from a flying ember and she and
the child were badly burned. Their
recovery is doubtful
The explosion was terrific one. and
for time caused the widest excite
ment. No less than 100 buildings in
the vicinity, most Of them very small
dwellings, were damaged.
The laboratory building was a two
story structure. At the time Of the
explosion there we're only four men
working in the building who were pre-
pairing a mixture for the making of
vanilline. The doors to the room In
which they were working were closed,
but the fumes from the benzol in some
manner reached the furnace in the
next room, and the explosion instantly
followed. Manwaring was instantly
killed and Mckinley so badly hurt that
he died several hours later in a hos
pital Randall's escape was remark
able. He was blown through the
roof and landed on an adjoining build
ing. At first it was thought he was
dead, but after treatment in the hos.
pital he regained consciousness. George
Conner, the fourth employe in the
room, escaped with a few severe
bruises.
The explosion was so terrific that the
buildings adjoining each side of the
laboratory were completely demolish-
ed. On both sides of the street for q
whole square the explosion wrought
destruction. Windows were broken,
fixtures were smashed and walls were
cracked. Fire added to the destruc-
tion in a number of places, but the
flames were quickly extinguished be
fore they did any considerable damage
The score of persons injured were all
tenants Of the many dwellings and
were in no way connected with the
laboratory. Some we're severely cut by
glass, While many of them were struck
by the flying debris.
The money loss is estimated to be
considerable over 100000.
