FIFTEEN DEAD
BY AN EXPLOSION
New Workers Meet Horrible
Death While Celebrating
Election Results.
FIREWORKS DISCHARGED.
Madison Square, In Which
Crowds Were Gathered,
the Scene Of the
Horror.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-by prema.
ture explosion Of fireworks in Madison
square last night fifteen people are
believed to have been killed and for.
ty seriously injured. Owing to the
panic and confusion among the crowd
watching the election returns it was
impossible to make a correct estimate
of the fatalities The explosion took
place among the fireworks that were
to be set off to celebrate the announce
ment of the election returns. The re-
port was SO heavy that windows were
broken in the houses around the
square. When the first panic had SUBJ
sided. sixteen persons were found un-
conscious on the ground. Some of those,
however, quickly recovered. Others had
Eean horribly mutilated.
The fireworks were piled on the east
side of Madison square awaiting the
time to set them Off in'the political cell
eoration that was being held.
A great crowd of boys pressed around
the place, and squad Of policemen
tried III vain to Keep them back.
1t is not known just how the explo.
sion occurred, but 1t is supposed that
sparks from bomb or Il skyrocket
set off in the square Or from the roof
of the Flatiron building dropped into
the pile.
The explosion simply moved down
the crowd standing around.
Rockets and balls Of fire whizzed
through the air in every direction. The
great mob in the square broke into a
panic.
Ambuances We're summoned from
all the hospitals in the lower end of the
city.
Fire alarms brought engines that
created havoc among the throngs on

THEATRICALS.

Neverswere comedy and tragedy

Fitchs Western drama THE Cow

humor of the earlier scenes give
way to series of startling dramatic
clilnaxes lator on in the play, and
some of the most thrilling moments
come in the last act where the hero
is being tried for murder which he
did not commit and which he has
taken on himself, believing that
the woman he loves is guilty, whom
as he learns later, she is entire
ly innocent. 1t all comes about
through misplaced pistol. The
woman's husband is unworthy, and

Literature and Concentration.

'In the Fortnightly Review M.
Max Nordau maintains the surpris-
ing thesis that success in creative
literature can only be won by men
who have no competing employ
ments to divide their interests and
impede the concentration of their
brains" says the London Graphic.
Ut 10 beyond doubt the dream of
every man of letters to be able thus
to insulate the electricity of his
genius; but It is strange that M.
Nordau should have overlooked the
long list Of those who have had
other things besides literature to at
tend to and yet have produced
work that lives. Shakespeare, the
actor-manager; Milton, the Lord
Protectors Latin secretary; Charles
Lamb, the Indian Office clerk, are
only a few Of the cases that he
might have recalled He should also
have thought of Dickens, who was
a reporter when his first imaginative
work was written; Thackeray, who
divided his time between fiction and
work for the comic papers, and
Charles Kingsley, who wrote West
ward Ho!' while a country parson;
and M. lola, who was Hachettes
clerk when he wrote tho "Contes a
Ninon." The quantity of the work
may have suffered in some of these
cases from the authors alternative
interests and duties, but it is hard
to believe that the quality has SUI
fered, too. The rule, in short, if
rule it be, is swamped by rather
more exceptions than even the rules
about the genders in French gram
mars.
