Two Probably Receiving Their Death
WOunds-Case Where Inspcc-
tiOn Proved Futile.

Pittsburg, June 3O.-The breaking OF
a shaft on the first floor of the II.
j. Heinz company's plant in Allegheny
released the ropes supporting a large
freight elevator on which twenty-three
persons were crowded. The cage fell
from the fifth floor into the cellar. a
distance of forty-five feet, and every
one on the elevator was injured. 1t is
thought that at least two will die.
Names of the Persons Hurt.
The list of injured is as follows:
John Churney Allegheny, both legs
broken, will likely die; Mrs. Edward
Holman, Mount Hope. \. J., injury
to spine, probably die; Joseph Weber,
Allegheny, both legs broken, condition
serious; o. Z. Thomson, Allegheny,

HazelwoOd. leg fractured; Mrs f. w.
Thorton. HaZelwoOd, compound frac-
ture of leg.
Came Near Being Still Worse.
An examination of the shaft and
machinery showed that those injured
narrowly escaped instant death. as the
750-poundS weight at the side of the
shaft shot to the roof of the build
Ing ripped through the timbeIS at the
top, and fell half its length through
the ceiling over the sixth floor. Had
the timbers been Il little less stout
the huge weight would have fallen
nearly sixty feet upon the mass of in
jured people huddled in a heap on the
floor of the demolished elevator.
The screams of the injured and the
crash of the cage as it struck the bot
tom of the shaft brought hundreds of
workmen and women to the rescue.
In a statement given out by the Off,
cials of the plant it was stated that
the elevator was thoroughly over
hauled and a new drum placed in pO-
sition about two years ago. and that it
had always been inspected daily by
the man in charge of the machinery,
once a week by the oiler and once a
month by the millwrights. The break
occurred in place impossible to he de-
tected by the inspectors, as it was in
side the large drum.

VIII Know What to Do.
ROOM FOR JEWS

In Russia Since Temporary ReguIa-
tIOn Has Been Put Out of Action.
st. Petersburg. June 3O.-The amenc-
ment to the Temporary regulations of
May ID, 1882. permitting Jews to re-
side and to acquire real estate in 101
additional towns within the pale of
Jewish settlement. is thus explained by
the Jewish journal NOSkhad: The
temporary regulations, which have
been in force during the last twenty
one years, were hastily issued and were
not brought into conformity with 9th
er laws. Their enforcement caused
nearly all the Jews living in the rural
districts, amounting to about 20 per
cent. of the Jewish population. in 1882,
to be driven into the towns and cities.
The pale of the Jewish settlement. pre-
viously embracing fifteen provinces,
suddenly shrunk 10 a limited number
of towns.
Many APpea-s to the Senate.
The senate was quickly over
whelmed with appeals against the IL
legal enforcement of the regulations,
and in 1884 was petitiOned, though
vainly, for their repeal. The number
of towns open to Jews has continued
constantly to diminish and the Jews,
more and more cOOped up, have been
driven hard for a subsistence. As
result the towns with Jewish pOpula-
tiOns have been officially pronounced
breeding places for physical and
pSychical diseases. The ministry of
the interior, in view of the dangers
from this hungry prOletariat, has de-
cided to open 1O1 new places to Jew
ish settlers.
How the jews Were Squeezed.
I'm the list are many former Jewish
colonies which had been within recent
years transformed legally into villages
and thus withdrawn from the category
or permissible places of abode for
Jews. In the provinces of ChernigOv,
EkaterinOslav. and POltava the author
tiles have broken UP Jewish colonies
which had existed from time imme-
mortal. Among many eXpedients for
driving out Jewish settlers under the
temporary regulations one of the
most successful was to demand writ
ten charters from the towns. Those
at once pronounced villages. In this
wsv all the towns in POltava were
wiped out of legal existence in 1895,
and all the towns of Chernigov suf-
fered the same fate in 1899.
Temporary Regulations" Defined.
"In other cases old towns decayed
or shifted toward newly built rail-
roads The Jews were. however not
allowed either in the new towns that
grew up in their place. or, in spite of
repeated decisions of the senate. in the
new streets of old towns. The tenn
pOrary regulations it may be briefly
stated, forbid Jews to move into cities
and towns where they had not been
living when the regulations were is
sued. to remove from one hamlet to
another or to acquire or rent land"
