Killed on the Skyscraper.

The first fatality in connection with
the erection of the skyscraper in Co
lumbia occurred early Thursday morn
ing, when William Dixon, a colored
iaborer, was Instantly killed by an ell
erator. There are three elevators
used in the building. auf they run
from the first to the twelfth floor
and back at lightning speed. Ac-
cording to the testimony Of wit
nesses, Dixon had just leaned over
the elevator shaft to speak to some
one in the cellar when the elevator
came nown on him, killing him in
stantly. As soon as the accident was
seen the engineer raised the elevator
and the body was taken out. The
hea:. and face were horribly mutllat-
ed, but there were no other injuries,
and death must have been instantane-

AN OIL FIRE
IN Ne" ork Claims Two nty or More

Twenty or more lives were lost and
fully twice that number of people
burned or bruised by an explosion Of
oil late Tuesday night, following the
wreck On the Erie railroad, north of
Olean, n. y. Owing to the fact that
some Of the bodies were incinerated
in the fierce flames or blown into the
creek by the explosion, the exact nun.
Der Of dead will probably not be
known for several days.
The number Of injured, too, is un.
certain, as a large number Of them
were able to reach their home and re-
ceived treatment there. Nine Of the
recovered bodies have been identified
as residents of O.ean, four Of the
number being boys under seventeen
years of age. The Injured are all
young boys of Olean and the neighbor-
ing towns. Dozens Of others, who
were not carried to the hospitals were
burned more or less severely.
1t was nine o'clock in the evening
when the train was wrecked. An
Erie freight train, loaded with oil cars,
broke in two on the hill two miles
north of the city. At first the for
ward part of the train, released of all
weight of the cars behind, sprang for
ward with increased speed. Brakes
were applied and the front portion Of
the train was brought almost to a
standstill at the iron bridge across
Olean creek. The rear cars, gather
ing momentum as they came down
the hill, crashed into the forward part
OF the train. The tank cars caught
fire soon after the collision and burst
into flames with q terrific explosion
y portion Of the iron domes of the
cars was hurled Il distance Of several
hundred feet. The flames shot high
in the air. Hundreds of people in
front Of Olean and the surrounding
country side gathered to watch the
brilliant scene. AS the heat became
less intense the crowd began to edge
a little closer to the wreckage.
Suddenly there was a terrific explo-
sion. y great mass Of white flames
shot hundreds of feet into the air and
literally rolled down the banked sides
OF the track into the gully where the
spectators we're standing. Men and
boys fell before the wave Of light to
rise no more. Huge pieces Of iron
were hurled through the air, moving
down human beings by the score. Men
and boys with their clothing mass
OF flames ran shrinking down the
track, some OF them falling to the
ground unconscious, while Others
grovelled in the ditch or jumped into
the creek in an endeavor to put out
the lire that was consuming them.

Bargain Week.

That's what people like to read about, and why shouldn't they? For instance: We have just one lot of sleeve ironing boards, the regular price of which is 9 cents each. This week you can have them at 10 cents each at our store; they are the most service able article you can bring into the house nowadays. If you don't believe us ask someone who is, using one. ssNufsed'' Then, again, we have one lot of light caps, different colors, such as the boys like to wear when playing ball or the men folks wear while working in the shop; in fact, we've seen ladies wearing them while taking an automobile dash along Broadway. Now we are going to sell these caps at z cents each while they last, and they are worth % cents; therefore, you see we have bargains galore. But the best bargain of all is when you buy a mound of our warranted 50-cent Tea and get four bars of best laundry soap with #. Then, again, our, 25-cenr Butter is bargain because other peo- pIe are selling not as good for zo ana 30 cents, therefore. remember the par gains this week at
