CAR STARTED TOO SOON
And c. H. Smith Was Badly In-
 juped on East Main Street

He Received Several Cuts and Bruises
 and an Ugly Scalp Wound-Now
 Laid Up at His Home Nursing His
 Many Wounds
 c. H. Smith of Cherry street, for the past 25 or 30 years a foreman at the Scovill Manufacturing Co.'S plant, is not sure but he made a mistake in not keeping off the cars until that strike is settled. He was on his way home from the center Tuesday evening and took an East Main street car, request ing the conductor to let him off at Cherry street. Owing to some misun- derstanding the car didn't stop at standstill a little east of Ebbs's drug store when MT Smith tried to alight, but before he had time to do so the car was started up again and the man was pitched headlong into the street. Then the motorman pulled up again and with others carried Mir Smith into the drug store where his injuries were at tended to. He was badly cut and bat tered on the head and faae and com plained of severe pain ill one of his arms. Blood oozed through dust and dirt on his hands and face and he pre- sented a sorry spectacle He was cleaned and had his wounds dressed after which he was taken to his home where he has since remained and will not be likely to do anything for some time. MT Smith is very popular with his shopmates and neighbors and all feel very sorry for the accident that came so near costing him his life. He received an ugly scalp wound and was bruised on the ribs and arm

GIRL KILLED IN NEW YORK
Standing on Steps When Coping
 Fell on Her

Her Skull Was Crushed and She Died
 Instantly Had Struck the
 Coping and Loosened It Only a
 Short Time Before.
 New York, July 91.-Miss Birdie Aarons has met death in a peculiar manner in Lexington avenue, near her home. She had called on a girl friend and the two were standing on the stoop of the Lexington avenue house when a portion of brownstone coping above them fell and struck Miss Aarons to the ground. Her skull was crushed and she died immediately. Investiga- tion showed that bolt of lightning had struck the stoop in the heavy storm which had Just passed. The shock had fractured the heavy stone and left it hanging by only a small unbroken part.
 The lightning was extremely severe over the entire city and many strange accidents were reported. In Jersey City a bicycle ridden by a policeman was twisted into a shapeless mass. The rider was unhurt by the bolt and sustained only few scratches in fall ing from the wrecked machine.

THE FIGHTING AFGHAN.
Warlike Instincts Have Prompted Him
 to Look for Further Conquests.

Warlike Instincts Have Prompted Him
 to Look for Further Conquests.
 The Afghan is essentially fighting man, says the London Times, and, though the army which Abdurrahman created has, in the main, so far made for peace by securing the internal tran qu1llity of Afghanistan, even the old ameer discovered in the latter part of his reign not only that it was necessary to keep 1t occupied but that it was not easy to find suitable occupation for it. The discipline of a standing army in such country as Afghanistan is apt to get lax in the idle times of peace. Un- der an oriental military despotism the army exists for active fighting and all it's instincts rebel against long periods of inaction. It wants the excitement and, above aH the opportunities of in- dtvidual aggrandizement and enrich ment which active service alone fur nfshes. For long time Abdurrahman kept his army fairly we'll occupied in putting down all his own rivals and sub jugating the tribes whose loyalty he had cause to suspect. When that was accomplished Kafirstan, with it's pagan" tribes, offered another outlet for the martial energies of the Afghan Mussulmans.
 But in proportion as the successive delimitations of boundaries and spheres of influence have diminished the area of doubtful ownership within which the military appetite of the Afghan com manders could be gratified without any serious risk of external complications, the task of providing occupation for the Afghan army has become more and more difficult and with the maintenance of internal peace that difficulty must go on increasing. .
 The sops which Habibullah has from time to time thrown to his army in tbe shape of increased pay and improved ra- tions show that he himself is alive to the difficulty, but measures of that kind can hardly be regarded as more than tenn porary makeshifts. One is bound to bear in mind in this connection that the fighting instincts of the Afghan have al-i ways prompted him in the past to look toward the south rather than the north. The plains of India, which his fathers repeatedly ransacked, are still to him the legendary land of conquest and booty and if once he came to believe that the English were powerless to ar rest the forces of Russian gravitation, he might we'll be tempted by prospect of such stakes as Russia would spread before him to exchange a losing for winning partner.

SOLDIERS ARE STILL THERE,
No Further Deatheat Lowell Funerals
 of the Victims.

t.
 Lowell, Mass, July 31.--No further deaths among those who were injured in the Wigginsville powder magazine explosion on Wednesday had occurred up to 1O:3O o'clock this forenoon, and the belief was more general that the death list would not exceed 20, all though the hospitals officials admit that two of the victims in their care may not recover.
 The three companies of militia were still on duty to-day on the site of the catastrophe and a desultory search was kept up to-day among the ruins. It is thought to-day will be the last the troops will be obliged to remain.
 Arrangements have been made to hold further funerals of victims to-day By Sunday it is expected the last of the remains recovered will have been car ed for.
 The subscription list for the desti- tute is steadily growing.

TESTING BROWN GUN.
The Same One That Gave Trouble Two
 Years Ago

New York, July 31.-Before Lieuteh- ant-General Miles and other members of the board of ordnance and fortifica. tions, the ten-inch Brown segmental wire wound gun has been fired again on the Sandy Hook proving grodnds It was first tested in 1901. Then the breech- lock blew off under the strain of 29,OOO pounds to the square inch.
 In the second test, loaded with aE amount slightly less than the service charge of 15O pounds of powder, a pro- jectile weighing 800 pounds riochetted far out to sea. Following this there will be further trials until the maxi mum strain has been placed upon the piece and 100 shots at least are fired. Except for slight sticking of the breech=lock, which. it is said, can be remedied, the present. trial is declared to be a success.
 Construction of the segmental gun was authorized in 1897. So far it has cost the government $33, 3,000.

Fifteen Mile Breeze Blowing When
 Boats Went Out.

Dorval, Quebec, July 31.-A fifteen mile breeze due west was kicking up Whtbecaps on Lake St Louis to-day when the American challenger Kolu- too, and Thorelld, the Canadian de fender of the Sea,wanhaka cup, were lowed out to the starting line for the second race of the series. ThOrella's S victory in yesterdays race under sim liar weather conditions encouraged the Canadians in the belief that to-day's race would be won by Thorella. The American crew was hopeful.
 There was no change in either of the crews, but Ilolutoo carried Vampires rudder in place of her own, which split in yesterdays contest and threw the American boat out of the race. The course selected for to-day's race was straightaway to windward and return, two miles to each leg, to be sailed over three times, making F miles.

Promises to Have Some Interesting
 Reading To-Morrow.
 The.strikers' executive committee is sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 For two hundred and three days we have stood shoulder to shoulder in our fight for fair play, despite the many ef- forts put forth by the company to dis rupt our ranks.
 ''The public are time and again in formed by the company's representa- tive that there is no strike, and lot of other nonsensieal bluff. If there is no strike, why is it the company is so very anxious to have it called off Why is it they have their emissaries around meeting our men, and offering all sorts of inducements to go back? However it remains to be seen wheth- CT or not they will be successful in this underhanded way of doing business.
 "To-morrow we may be able to give out some very interesting information to the public, and of considerable i'm portance to the working classes of our city, who have been so grossly insulted by the company's general manager in his interview with a local newspaper man last Saturday, because, they re- fuse to patronize the cars of his com pany. To our minds the time is fast approaching when the working classes will do their own thinking, and not let the other fellow do it for them.
 eeThe company says they are fighting for a principle are we.'

NOW FOR 4 FIGHT
City and Scovill Manufacturing
 Co Locked Horns To-Day
LIENS PLACED ON THE PLANT

scoyill Comany Has Refused to PaN
 Water Bills Presented by City
 Claim That the City's Mode of Meas
 uring and Charging Is Unjust td
 Them.
 It seems that the city and the ,ScoviIi manufacturing Co are going to fight out their difference over the method of paying water taxes. This has. been an old bone of contention between the city and the concern named. The latter re- fused to pay it's bills for city water cone sumed by it and the city said nothing untll this morning, when it clapped sew eral liens amounting to about $1, 200 upon the company's plant. This is stI1a hrst time ill its history that the citx became involved in this matter with a manufacturing concern. But from tlle fact that warfare has been opened ort a legal basis it is apparent thai the matter will now be fought out in ths courts.
 The Scovill Manufacturing Go claims that it's bill for water should be issued in bulk instead of bill for each irlfii-4 vldual meter. It has quite a number of meters and if the method by which it claims of issuing bills for water was used, it would it seems have the use of a very large quantity of water at nO expense to itself whatsoever.
 The city charges so much per thou sand for the first 1000 gallons of water used on the same meter. There is an- other percentage allowed off the sec ond thousand gallons, and so on, so that a concern like the one involved in this matter eventually uses many thou sand gallons of water at practically no cost at all. But the company claims this is not the legal way to charge All the meters should be reckonefI in the one bill for by this method it would use still larger quantity of water free than what it at present uses. And the very fact that it has refused for some time to pay these bills shows that ft acted upon legal advice and that there is a fight ahead in the courts to test this matter of charging for water used.

 Newcastle, Pa, July 31.--The explos- ion of kerosene lamp at Slavic boarding house here last night, during a dance, caused fatal injury of one per son and the serious injury of five oth- CTS. The fatally injured: Mrs Michael Politsky, wife of the. proprietor.
 The accident occurred in a five-room frame boarding house occupied bytwen- ty-fve Slavs. The celebration became tumultuous toward the end and caused the strwcture to shake to its founda- ton. When the hilarity was at it's height the lamp was pushed sEer by one of the dancers. With crash it x ploded. sending flames over nearly T score of Tunfortunates. Some put the flames out and escaped with slight in- juries, while those nearest were so sat urated with the infammable material as to be turned into human torches.
