When tho Allii left Skaguay no blood

Gratis to do for national platform

There is but one thing for them to
do. The voters have about made UP
their minds that party pledges are
fabricated chiefly to be broken. Let
tho Democrats, banking on this cir
cumstance, put up ticket without
platform let them nominate candidates
for President and Vice President who
are platform in themselves, and if
they can induce the great admiral and
the gallant general to accept, here is
the card to win with:

Even now the Republican leaders,
who rarely fail to take time by the fore

upon the, shore line, are planning to
make their campaign of 1900 on the
broad principle of national uniflcation
and expansion. They are not going to
handicap themselves with any ancient
platform rubbish. High tariff is no
longer wanted by the manufacturers,
for whom it was invented. The bloody

ExpLOsION OEA roEE.
Two Persons burned, One Seriously. at GIG
West Eighth Street.

An oil stove exploded about Ii o. clock
on Saturday in the third story back
room at the residence of Mrs. Louisa
A. Baldwin, No. 916 West Eighth
street, which resulted in the destruction
of nearly everything in the room and
Miss Ida Baldwin and Charles L.
Simmons being burned, the former
seriously. The excellent work of tho
Weccacoe firemen and chemical engine
prevented what might have been n
disastrous confagration.
The room was occupied by Miss Ida
Baldwin and her niece, Miss Irene
Chambers, both of whom are sick with
the grip, and the stove was used for
heating the room. The wicks had
been trimmed and lighted, and short
time afterward, for some reason, began
to blaze up and throw out smoke. The
women were naturally frightened and
made an effort to extinguish the flames,
and while thus engaged the stove ex-
ploded, setting fire to the bedding and
carpet and also to Miss Baldwin IS
clothing.
Charles II. Simmons, a grocer at the
corner of Eighth and jackson streets,
whose house adjoins the one in which
the explosion occurred, hearing of
what had happened went to the assist
ance of his neighbors and all tried to
extinguish the flames and take care OF
the young woman who had been burned.
A still alarm was sent to the Wecca-
coe enginehouse, and the chemical
engine and crew quickly responded.
Mr.. Simmons and the women had sue
ceeded in keeping the flames confined
to the room in which the fire started
and the chemical engine soon extin-
guished the blaze. After the smoke
had cleared away it was found that
pet had been burned, while the furni-
ture had been scorched and practically
ruined. Very little damage was done
outside of the room where the explosion
occurred. Mr.. Simmons burned one
Of his hands in battling with the
flames.

DEATH IN TERRIBLE FORM.



Reading, Pa, Jan, "a terrible
accident happened to Philadelphia &
Reading engine No. 91l and crew,
drawing an extra freight, eastbound,
short distance east of Bowers Station,
this county, shortly before , O'Clock
this morning, caused by the explosion
of the locomotive boiler.

shortly after midnight on its way to
Reading. Those on the locomotive
were: William Weaver of Myefstown,
engineer; Joshua Robson, conductor !;
Adam j. Epp, front brakeman; Harry
Young, fireman, all of Reading.
When the explosion occurred, Young

hurled backward and severely scalded
and burned about the face and back.
As soon as the train came to stop he
hurriedly returned to the scene of the

Engineer Weaver was found pinned
fast in the cab, dead.
Robson was unconscious, having
sustained crushed skull.
Brakeman Epp was burned and
bruised about the body. Robson was
