about half an hour after the explosion,

TO n lack OF water Its efforts, however,
would have availed but little, as the

DYNAMITE EXPLODES
DURING A BIG FIRE.
Buildings at Woonsocket Park
Wrecked--Grand Stand and Other
Structures Burned Yesterday.

All the buildings connected with the
Woonsocket Driving Park. about three
miles outside of Woonsocket were de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. In
the midst of the conhagration so pounds
OF dynamite, stored I'm one of the sta
bles, exploded and AIDED considerably TO
the devastation besides shaking up the
country for miles around.
AT the time Of the explosion A. G.

in an adjoining building 20 feet away.
but other than being thrown violently
across the room and receiving "A few
bruises he sustained no III effects, as
the building remained intact, although
a similar structure the same distance
away on the other side of the dynamite
was demolished. The buildings ABOUT
the park consisted OF a large grand
stand, with a seating capacity of $500;
stables, which accommodated 60 horses;
half dozen private stables. IN one OF
which was the dynamite, band stand,
starters stand and several small shan
ties. besides the usual high board fence
round the track. all valued at $2o,OOO.
Stacy and two boys were on the
premises during the afternoon, when

To keep the flames from the main
buildings. but the strong breeze proved
too much for them and one of the boys

attention toward saving what they
could from the other buildings. Eight
horses number of wagons, sullties,
gigs and harnesses were taken out and

out the Office furniture. While there

CONDITION CRITICAL.
An Italian Boy Suffering From Lock-
law at Rhode Island Hospital.
DIore Splinter Into His Foot While Sliding
From a Tree Down a Plank.

Giovanni Zanfagno. a little italian
boy, nine years OF age, was taken to the
Rhode Island Hospital yesterday af-
ternoon, suffering with tetanus or lock-
Jaw. The little fellow was undergoing
terrible commissions. and ii was deemed
necessary to convey him to some place
where specific treatment by anti-toxine
or by tetanic serum could be had.
The child.s sufferings were the result
or an ACCIDENT which befell him a little
more than two weeks ago. He had
climbed into a tree and proceeded to
slide down on a plank. A splinter en-
tered his flesh and he also had a fall,
which produced some rupturing of abb
dominal muscles. The wound produced
by the splinter healed in a few Gays
and the injury was not regarded as
serious at the time. Last Friday Sc
rious symptoms were apparent, and DR..
j. A. O'keefe was called TO attend him.
on Saturday symptoms of tetanus
were manifested, and on Sunday the
condition developed which has beer de-
scrbed.
The case is particularly severe one,
ana every effort will be made to save
the little fellows life. although there
was very little hope for him last eve-
ming.

NO CHANGE YET.
Mo|ders Strike Situation Remains
Practically the Same.
There Is a Feeling, However, That Trouble
viii Be Settled This Week.

While there is no change In the mold
ers' strike situation. matters are said
to be in such condition that IL would
not be surprising If the entire trouble
was settled and the men all at work
again before the end OF this week.
There are only three points at issue
now, and these are: Minimum wage,
piece work and union card.
Taking the piece work question first,
there is this said, that in some of the
foundries the piece work Is very
small matter, so small that IL Is insig-
nifcant. so much so that IL should not
stand i'm the way of an adjustment or
the difficulty I'm those shops. AS TO
wages. the fact that there have been
raises OF late. before the strike, and
that others may follow, If business is
not interrupted by the strike so long
as TO hurt the prospects, is concedeN
This makes two of the points easy OF
adjustment. on the union card question
there are two opinions. The foundry
men claim the right to run their own
business. meaning that they refuse to
deal with union officials as such, but
none of the foundrymen object TO
union man simply because he belongs
to the molders' union.
II must be borne i'm mind that II the
strike is continued for any great length
of time, the foundries In this city VIII
lose more or less of their trade. IL is
hard to acquire the work from big ma
chine shops in other cities, but several
of the local foundries have such work,
among IL being the United States gov
ernment contracts. Now the loss OF
this work. even temporarily, is likely
to cut both ways. Without this work
there will not be as much for the mold
ers OF this city 20 do, and this is point
worth considering.
