a Narrow Escape.

Especial to the News and Observer
Durham, N. c., Dec 24.-Capt. D.
Light, of the s. A. l.. Railroad, condue-
tor of a freight train between here ano
Henderson, met with a rather peculiar
accident last night. He had taken
seat upon the end of cross-tie near
the billiard street crossing, and gone TO
sleep. When the 6:45 Oxford and Clarks-
vile train came along, the engine seemed
to strike Capt Light just as he fell from
his position. II is thought that he must
have been aroused by the noise of tae
train, and as he arose the engine may
have assisted him in the fall sufficiently
to knock him off the track. Anyway his
face was badly torn in the fall and he re-
ceived n number of cuts and bruises
about the head and face.

pool room was crdYded with more than
100 persons. Just "a race at New Or
leans was being calleNAby the operator,
the floor of the building seemed to rise.
In an instant a report that shook the
building rang out. The upper floor and
lack yalls of the building fell on the
mass us struggling men who were wildly
excited and endeavorihg to escape to the
street The entire house looked as II
tornado had rloughed through its center.
The front glass windows were broken and
both sides of the structure We're shat
tered By the conclusion which resembled
the report Of a twelve-pounder.
The news of the explosion spread rap
idly and soon Central avenue was damned
with people. Reports were current that
several persons had been killed. The po-
lice and firemen took charge of the build
iT q and the work of rescue began. Men
were pulled from under the debris in
terribly shattered state. One of the most
pitiable sight was when "Billy" Hell

The exact cause of the explosion has
not yet been determined. 1t is said by
some that gas which had ESCAPED in the
cellar OF the building was ignited in
some manner, causing the terrible acct

Another report which is probably corr
rect, says driver CT a gasoline wagon
was filling tank in the cellar when the

An UNEQUAL DIVISION.

We present herewith an illustr alton
of the increase in the expenses of both
capital and labor during the past Eve
years, as shown bv Dun's index
numbers of prices of commodities
The low point of July l, 1897, is taken
for the starting point and comparison
IS made with April I, 1902. At that
time the cost of living was 80. % percent
higher than, on July l, 1897, while
the cost Of raw and finished ma
terial used by manufacturers, miners
and railroads was 81 5Opercent higher.
AS compared with capital, labor's
expenses had Increased $3.50 percent
more. But part of the increase in the
cost Of living represents additional
profits to capital, as does q larger
part of the increase in the prices of
iron and steel, coal, lumber, petroleum
etc. And no small part of the increased
cost of coal and petroleum is borne by
labor. So the comparison is imperfect
Of necessity.-Wall Street Daily
Journal.
The above, taken from spectators
journal and based on Dun's figures,
which are certainly never colored to
suit the populists, prove conclusively
that the prosperity we hear so much
about is not shared equally by the Ia
borers and the capitalists. It shows
that the manufacturer has not only
assessed on the laborer the Increased
cost of production, but has added an
extra tax of nearly seven per cent, &C.
cording to the above figures. But it
will be noticed that the increased cost
of coal and petroleum has been added
to the manufacturer cost and not
figured for the laborers. The cost OF
coal is one of the heavy expens 20 OF
the laborer in the cities, and he Ger.
tainly uses more petroleum than the

l. z. Thompson, who announced his
conversion" to republication soon
after receiving an appointment from
the present republican state officials,
has q long letter in the last issue of
the Gazette in which he takes the edi-
tor of the TRIBUNE to task for his
(Thompson's) failure to receive an
appointment under Lind, and desie-
mates that failure as one of Lind 8
"sham" reforms. He closes his pitt
able story with bold suggestion to
the effect that he owed his failure to
the fact that he did not have money
enough to bride the editor. In reply
we would say that if money could
have influenced the editor in the matter
Mr.. Thompson would very likely have
been successful. Viewed in the light
of recent events, Mr.. Us appointment
under Lind would have been q dis

manufacturer. The increase Of cost
Of living for the laborer is therefore
much larger than that given by the
above figures. Well can the manu-
facturers and capitalists make their
battle.cry, 'Let we'll enough alone. "
They certainly cannot ask for any.
thing better. But prosperity that
thus help. the few at the expense of
the masses is not true prosperity.
When the producer gets his fair
share of the increase of value, then
only can we talk of having genuine
prosperity.
The same paper shows that the per
capita of money in circulation has
during the same period increased
twenty-five per cent, the increased pro-
duction of gold being the principal, If
not the only factor in making this in
crease. This proves the quantitative
theory Of money to be true. The rea-
son why the division of the increase
has fallen in unequal proportions is
that the trusts have crushed COMPETE
ton, and charged higher prices than
warranted by the general rise caused
by the increased money volume. If
these robber aggregations can go on
and charge the laborer seven per cent
over the increase of value of his work
it is easy to 6gnre out how long it will
take before they will own everything.
The laborer may be willing to leave
we'll enough alone, but it will be hard
for him to figure out that such a state
of affairs is we'll enough.
