FIERCE RACE RIOT 1T LORA|N
Started by Two Colored Men
 Who Had RaZops

They Gut a Man and Then the Crowd
 Started for Them-Police Depart

 to Maintain Order-Negroes Were
 Hunted, But Escaped.
 Lorain, O., July 29.-A fierce riot in which mob of 800 whites chased two colored men, threatening to lynch, oc, cured here last night. Two colored men, Charles Hill and Robert Pleasant, became involved in an altercation with white man named Daniel Cronan. One of the eolored men drew a razor and cut Cronan severely. A mob i'm mediately gathered and the negroes were chased over the entire south end of the city, one of them taking refuge in saloon, the entire front of which was battered in with stones. The ne gro, however, escaped.
 The entire police force was ordered on duty and specials were sworn in. Pleasant was arrested and tkan by side streets to the station, while the crowd continued their search, number of shots being fired. Finally the mayor got hearing and convinced the crowd that Cronan's injuries were not seri- ous. The mob then dispersed.

A Dainty Snake.

There is a curious snake in South Africa that lives wholly upon birds eggs. It has no teeth or signs of teeth in the mouth, It's whole dental array being located in the stomach. Buck land says that they are not true teeth, but that they serve all purposes. They grow from the center of each vertebra. They pass through the walls of the stomach and are covered with enamel, just like true teeth. This is natures provision for breaking eggs without running the risk of losing the precious contents, as would be the case if this egg-eating serpent had it's teeth in the proper place. When the egg is safely inside the abdominal walls contract and crush it against that long row oi yertebral teeth Fl Nature.

Some Novel Ideas,

Tn Europe there are a few persons who are certainly of an original turn of mind. One of them maintains that all wrinkles can be removed from a face by the constant application of an electric battery, which Is so small as to be almost invisible; another claims that fish can be utilized for the purpose of towing vessels; third suggests that while body is being cremated an or chestra should play funeral airs softly in the distance, this being in his opin- ion the most eff1cacious method of as- suagiRg the grief of the mourners, and a fourth desires to have law passed that every crematory shall be provided with room in which appropriate ele- gies shall be recited by salaried poets while bodies are being burned.-N.

TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS ARE DEAD
INCREASE IN DEPOSITS.
Bank Commissioners Have Just Fin
 ished Their Work.

Concord, N. H., July 29.-The board of bank commissioners have tabulated the results of the annual balancing Of all the savings banks of the state, which is required by law to be made on the last business ray in June, ana the figures show an increase in deposits during the year of more than $3, 3,6OOooo, and while the premium account shows a decrease of more than $1,0O0,OOO ow- ing to the present shrinkage in the market value of securities, the total resources of the banks have risen dur ing the year from $7O, ,725,954 to $75,- 563, ,211, an increase of $2,S37 ,256 and an average of $473.65 to every de positor. The total surplus Is about $10,O00,000 above the sums due to the depositors. The present fluctuations in the stock market have little or no effect upon New Hampshire savings banks, as the class of securities sub feet to these fluctuations are mostly outside of legal investments for our savings banks. Every bank is found to be in a sound financial condition.

CONFERENCE HELD TO-DAY
Striking Polishers in Consultation With
 A. M. Dickinson.

Fourth Vice President Flynn of the International Association of Buffers. and Polishers, who came on here from New York to inquire into the trouble at Benedict & Burnham's, had a con- ference with A. M. Dickinson, secre- tary of the company, to-day. Mir Flynn was accompanied by a committee from the buffers who are out and all were. received very courteously by MT Dick inson, but 1t seems nothing was done towards effecting settlement of the questions at issue, though it is thought the matter will be straightened out m a day or so. The men are ready to re- turn to work at cut of % cents a hundred provided the company agrees to rid them of Leplante's presence, or they will return at the old price anu let him remain there. A committee or the men will talk the matter over with Superintendent Webb this afternoons. Vice President Flynn will return to his home in New York to-day and leave the final adjustment of the matter iri the hands of the local organizations The society will meet tomorrow n1gnr,' when it is thought some satisfactory so- lution of the question will be reached

SEARCHING FOR DYNAMITE
One of the City's Tool Chests
 Was Robbed Last Evening

Robbers Carried Away Caps and
 Sticks of Dynamite-The Detective
 Force is Trying to Locate Thieves
 and Secure Explosives Before Any Damage is Done.
 Detective Dodds is out this after noon on still hunt for three or four sticks of dynamite and about seventy caps, which were stolen from a tool chest belonging to the city, on Drayer street, last night. The box was bro- ken open and the explosives carried away. It is understood that some of the dynamite showed what it is cap able of doing on Riverside street last night and 1t is feared that the rest of it may result in doing more harm. The caps are dangerous, too, and those who have them should bear in mind that they are carrying death-dealing affairs about them, innocent looking things as they are Superintendent Kelley reported the case to the police to-day and an effort is being made to get hold of the offenders and also to collect the explosives. This is an instance of the mischief youngsters are doing in differ ent parts of the town and they are op- erating so cleverly that it is almost i'm possible to capture them. Sunday some parties turned the hose onto fifty bags of cement in the Mulcahy school building and also demolished $25 or $50 worth of other stock. When the workmen called there Monday morning the cement was as hard as rock and had to be thrown away.

DYNAMITE WAS USED.
Sun and Moon Mine Building was
 Wrecked.

Idaho Springs, Col, July 29.-An ex- plosion at the Sun and Moon mine has wrecked the transformer house, set fire to the oil in the transformers and threatened the destruction of the main shaft. The watchman at the mine, aroused by the explosion, rushed out in time to observe two men running away from the transformer building. He fired several times and later a wounded man was found nearby.
 The Sun and Moon was the first mine affected by the strike which was declared last February After four months of idleness operations were re- sumed in June with non-union men. Manager Sims declares that no explo- sive of any kind was ever kept in or near the transformer building. The building apparently was wrecked by a heavy charge of dynamite.

SEVERAL BUILDINGS BURNED.
Owner of One Thought To Be Dead in
 Ruins.

Colebrook, N. H., July 29.- Several buildings were burned here early to-day and it is thought that Jesse ForrestaIl, owner of the wooden block in which the flames originated, lost his life. At one time the village was in danger, but was saved. The total loss is at least $15,OOO.
 MT Forrestall was seen to enter the building while the fire was. in progress, and afterwards 1t is believed he per ished. He was 85 years old and quite feeble. It is supposed the fire. was caused by the overturning of d kero- sene lamp.
 The fire spread from the Forrestall block to J. s. Bennett's block and the school house near by. Several busi- ness firms lost their property. Streams of water, obtained through the power at the Hammond & Stevens mill, en- abled the village people to keep the fire from burning other property In town and probably most of the business sec ton.

HE CHOICE OF JUDGES
Two Recent Cases That Have
 Attracted Attention
Correspondent Who Is Curious to Know Why Peasley Occupies the Bench Now and Then-Some Gases That He Has Not Heard and the Correspon- dent Wonders Why He Didn't.

dent Wonders Why He Didn't.
 Editor Democrat:
 observe in the local morning paper, which l sometimes reaC, another inter- esting article about the city court. The principal judge of this court is, in pri- vate life, MT Burpee, in military life, the colonel" known also as counsel for the Connecticut Railway and Light ing Co. When matters of the company came up before the court some months ago this judge had too keen and fine sense of honor to sit upon the case, so Judge Peasley was called in, the ex- pense to the city so much per day. He got reappointed as judge. Nobody seemed to think 1t was worth while, or dared, to oppose him, and his infiu- ence, sometimes called 'pull,'' was suf~ f1cient so that he got there, like the famous little bird without wings. Just where the gentleman draws the line as to what eases he will sit on and those in which he is disqualified, seems to be in doubt. Perhaps it makes differ ence whether it is before or after he is reappointed. We have all seen in the papers for weeks or months that the counsel for the claimants in the famous Plant will case, that is, the Hoadleys. is MT Burpee. Millions are involved. But while some months ago MT Bur uee could not act as judge in the city court in matters in which his client. the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go, was involved, when MT Hoadley Is up before the court charged with not keeping his back yard clean, MT Bur pee does not seem to see any reason why he should not act, and refuses to hold him for the offense. It may be that MT Hoadley's back yard does not need cleaning, but 1t looks 1t, 'tis said. This reminds me that a couple of weeks ago this same judge was holding court when woman was accused of forgery, and he found her not guilty, although the papers said at the time that the testimony of the witnesses pro- duced on the part of the state was that the accused woman had admitted that she had made out the papers upon which she had obtained money from the bank, and that her mother, iii whose name the deposit stood, had not known anything about it. and that she had written her mother name for this purpose. But she was not guilty, so said the judge. It was said in the mar ket place, by somebody who laughed, that queer things occur in this world. Meanwhile the city sometimes pays for the extra judge, and this time the city did not pay. Was it economy?

AS Result of Explosion in U. s.
 Cartridge Building
MANY HOUSES WERE WRECKED

About Fifteen Persons are Also Seri.
 ously Injured-Building Was Situ-
 ated in Tewsbury, Suburb of Low
 ell-Miliary Called Out to Preserve
 Order.
 Lowell, July 29.-An explosion which demolished a magazine of the United States Cartridge Go in Tewksbury, shortly after g o'clock this morning, resulted in a casualty list estimated at noon to be 25 dead and 55 injured. A number of houses in the immediate vi cintty were wrecked. The debris was set on fire by the explosion. Buildings within one-half mile of the explosion were badly damaged and the whole of Essex county was shaken. The con- cussion was felt even in Boston and in Exeter, New Hampshire. The city was thrown into panic and it required all the efforts of the authorities to estab- fish and maintain anything like order. It became necessary to summon four companies of the state militia.
 The explosion is thought to have oc- cured by the jarring of dynamite stored in the magazine where the workmen were laying a new floor. Many instances of heroism in the saw ing of lives were noted. The follow ing are among the dead: Mrs William Diggs, Riverside park; James Gallo way, nine years of age; William Flynn, twelve years; Michael Rogers, ten years, and another boy named McDer- mott, ten years. The boys were in swimming in the Concord river when the explosion took place; an unknown man who was driving a grocery team, William Galloway, two men named Poore and Lowell Six bodies of men who were working near the powder house were recovered
 The wreck caused by the explosion covered an area to the extent of three acres. The region looks like a battle field after a conflict had taken place Houses, barns and outhouses lie in a wrecked state. Some are half demol- ished and others are nothing but piles of broken boards and beams.
 At ? o'clock the number of dead stood at thirteen, with nine missing The number of the injured at this houl was put down at thirty, although q number of others were slightly bruised or cut. The loss exclusive of that to the company is placed at $40,000, which is fully covered by insurance.

THE GAP EXPLODED.
And Boy Who Was Picking It Lost
 Finger and Thumb.

William, the 16-year-old son of Au- gust Spies of Fifth street, met with a very serious accident last night about o'clock. Spies and several companions were playing with a dyna- mite cartridge, which one of the boys had secured somewhere. Some of them placed it in their mouths trying to bite the cap off, not realizing the danger of 1t. But their efforts failed, and young Spies then took the cart ridge and commenced to scrape at the end of it with a pin. Suddenly it ex- ploded. Spies's little finger and thumb of the left hand were blown off at the first joint and the index finger was badly lacerated. Some of the powder lodged in the boys face and chin. pr Russell rendered rendered surgical as- sistance.

 quest.
 New York, July 29.-President Roosevelt has refused to grant the re- quest of Corporal John P. Carney of the marine corps for permission to leave the government service, where he receives SIS month, in order that he might accept a position as keeper in the Raymond street jail at a salary of $1, 200 year.
 Before enlisting Carney took the civ il service examination. Hearing noth- ing from the examination he concluded that he had failed to secure the covet- ed position, so he enlisted to serve four years. In few days he was notified that he stood fourth in the lists, but owing to his being a Spanish war vet eran had been placed at the top, and a $1,2oO position. was his. His appeal for permission to resign from the fed eral service finally reached the presi- dent, but met with refusal on the ground that it might form dangerous precedent.
