PLUNGED INTO A GULCH.
A Trolley Car Drops 100 Feet and 80
Persons are Killed and Dozens In.
iured,

Tacoma, Wash, July 5.-Nearly a
hundred people, passengers on car
bound for this city, were plunged
down a gulch at Twenty-siXth and c
streets Wednesday morning. Those
who were standing on the platform
dropped off, only to be bruised and
wounded by the heavy body of the
coach, while others inside were killed
and manned before they knew what
had happened. The car jumped the
track and was smashed to kindling
wood in the bottom of the chasm
over 100 feet below. The dead already
number SO and there are at least GO
of the passengers on the car now in
hospitals and under the care of their
own physicians.
II was one of the most appalling
accidents that has ever occurred in
this city and it came at a time when
it was least expected. Here were
happy people, residents of the nearby
towns-Edison, Lakeyiew, Parkland,
Lake Park and other places-coming
to Tacoma full of Joy and patriotism
to spend the Fourth of July. Their

He gave no quarter. Neither man,
woman nor child was spared.
Ropes were quickly procured and
the victims of the wreck were drawn
carefully to the top of the gulch and
their wounds attended to as fast as it
was possible for the physicians to
work Every doctor in the city was
called on for his services. The Fanny
Paddock and st. Joseph's hospitals
were soon crowded with patients.

ONE MISTAKE HE MADE.
The Always Correct Man Told the
Policeman That He Didn't
Own the Shoes.

He is a revered husband and a re-
spected father and he merits all the
respect and admiration which is Law
ished upon him, for he never makes a
mistake. If he does approach such a
thing occasionally it is only near
enough to make his family realize how
much more worthy he is than other
men, and the pedestal upon which he
is installed becomes only more solid
than than before. But the other day
the revered husband and respected
father made slight blunder. 1t was
warm evening and he was sitting on
the front steps.
This happened in Brooklyn, says the
Chicago Chronicle, where people sit
out on the front stoop in the evening
and talk across to their neighbors on
the next stoop. The man on this par
ticular evening was tired, the evening
air was refreshing and he sat out long
after the family had retired. 1t was
SO comfortable there in the dark that
he thought. he might be even more
comfortable, and he slipped off his
shoes. He had worn them all day and
he had been too tired to change them.
But all pleasant things must come
to an end, and finally, feeling re-
freshed, he, too, retired and in a mo-
ment was sound asleep. 1t seemed to
him that he had hardly touched the
bed, when he was aroused by long
ring at the door bell. He was angry
and, going to the window, put out his
head and called in n Sl1rly tone.
who's there?"
"An officer" said a voice below.
"Are these your shoes / have found
on the steps?" The early dawn was
beginning to show and he saw a po-
liceman below holding pair of shoes
in his hand. The idea of waking a
man from sound sleep for ridiculous
thing like thati
NO" he called back. 81 don't keep
my shoes on the front steps," and in
a minute he was in bed and asleep
again.
But when the getting up" bell rang
a few hours later strange thing hap
pened. He could not find his shoes
anywhere. Then he remembered the
officers call. he remembered removing
his shoes on the stoop the night be-
fore and when he went down to the
police station to identify and reclaim
his property he was apparently in
most amiable frame of mind.
I'VE have the, most careful officers
in the city on our block he said to
the sergeant in charge, in a friendly
tone.

FOUR LIVES BlOTTED OUT.
Explosion Of Fireworks Brings Death
to Philadelphia Children.

Philadelphia, July 5.-A blank cart
ridge fired at close range by a small
colored boy into large collection OF
fireworks yesterday cost the lives of
four children, the probable death of
three others and severe burns and
lacerations to 20 other persons, only
two of whom were adults. The dead
are:
Carmel Dianno, aged II years.
Charles Feruzzi, aged II years.
Two unidentified children.
The explosion occurred in front of
the bake shop of Antonio Mammarel-
10, on Eighth street, in the most
thic<ly populated section of the Ital-
ian quarter. The fireworks were on
stand on the pavement and consist
ed largely of giant fire crackers, tor
pedoes, rockets and chasers. y crowd
of children was clustered about the
stand. The colored boy, Isaiah Har-
ris, was seen to point the pistol in
the direction of the fireworks, and
fire. The force of the explosion
which followed shattered the win
dows of many stores and residences
in the vicinity.
