jured in n store.
Worcester, Mass. July 2.-Acciden-
tally stepping on bomb jack, large
torpedo, Albert Childs, a clerk of the
Nelson Five and Ten-Cent store in
this city, started fire tonight which
caused the explosion of $500 worth of
fireworks, and cut off forty customers
and clerks. who were in the store,
from the only exit.
Women and children were injured and
suffocated by smoke, and were res
cued from the cellar. where they had
fled to avoid the flames.
Manuel Ovignian was caught under
a freight elevator as 1t was descending
with twenty-five women. and was
probably fatally hurt.
Jacob Bedik and ovigian Ovignian of
New Haven are dangerously i'll from
inhaling smoke.
Twenty-Five women and children re-
ceived minor injuries, and were car
ried to their homes in police ambu-
lances.
Miss Alice Dunn, a clerk at the fire.
works counter suffered intensely from
inhaling smoke, and was badly burn
ed. Albert Schmidt was severely burn
ed on both hands by ball of fire from
a skyrocket, which shot through the
store.
The discharge of fireworks created a
panic among the men, women and chill
dren. Skyrockets, mines, Roman can
dies and $500 worth of frecrackers fill
ed the air with balls of fire and a
racket like the crash. of musketry.
The elevator was loaded with wom-
en- and children. and had started to-
ward an exit one story up, when some
one in the cellar pulled the cord and
sent the elevator into the cellar. The
cellar was fast filling with smoke and
here the firemen found the half suffooa-
ted people. Half of the women and
children were pulled through the win
dows and one load was taken out on
the elevator through a smoke filed
shaft.
There were many acts of heroism by
firemen and citizens who rushed into
the burning store and rescued children
One little boy. who had been locked up
in a room directly under where the
fire started. on the charge of stealing
candy in the store, was rescued by the
firemen, terribly scared. but uninjured
The money loss was small.

SOUND MONEY
is THE SLOGAN
THAT NEW YORK WILL URGE
IN THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM AT ST. LOUIS

ID. b. Hill VIII Represent New
York in the Committee on Reso-
lutiOns-He VIII Present the
sound Money PlnnIS-HiII Thinks
1t VIII Mean the Nomination OF
Parker on the First or Second
Ballot.
st. Louis, July 2.-"No compromise
with the radical silver element, no half
way plank in the platform in an at
tempt to placate the radicals, but a
straightforward declaration for sound
money"
That is the statement with which
the Democratic leaders from New York
landed in st. Louis tonight Former
Senator David B. Hill will represent
that state in the Committee on Reso-
lutions and will present the sound
money plank. When it is adopted, as
Mr.. Hill believes it will be, it will, in
his estimation, sound the tocsin for the
nomination of Judge Parker.
Senator Hill, former United States
Senator Edward Murphy, State Senator
oNAiSh IL htNdllti, NtllldIn r.
Sheehan, Jacob A. Cantor, Eliot Dam
forth and other leaders arrived here
this evening. En- route 1t was decided
that David B. Hill should be the MEM
Der of the Committee on Resolutions;
William F. Sheehan, member of the
Committee on Credentials, and that
former United States Senator Edward
Murphy would cast the seventy-eight
votes of New York state for Alton
B. Parker and a sound money plank.
Sop for Tammnny.
Senator Hill, while not desiring to
talk for publication tonight has dur
ing the day expressed the belief that
Judge Parker will be chosen on the
second ballot and probably on the
first.
There is a growing belief among
those of the party arriving to-day
that the Tammany delegates, appre-
ciating the strength of Mr.. Parker.
and having no argument to present
against his fitness, will refrain from
opposing him. 1t is insinuated by
some of the party that this harmony
may be accomplished by promising the
nomination for Governor of New York
to George B. Mcclellan or some other
man acceptable to Tammany.

Adams of the United States District
Court to-day granted United States
Senator Joseph r. Burton of Kansas,
convicted of accepting money from a
company under investigation by the
Postoffice Department, an appeal to
the United States Supreme Court.
The ground upon which this appeal
was granted is that the defendant is
accused Of an infamous offense, and
the Supreme Court is the only tribunal
having sole jurisdiction.
Senator Burton. who was present in
court. was hned $500 and sentenced
to the Iron county, Missouri, jail, for
six months. He appealed to the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals. but
to-day's action takes the case direct

st. Louis, July 2.-Hoke Smith of
Georgia, who was Secretary of the In
terror under President Cleveland and
who was the leader of the Parker
movement in Georgia, represents a
certain sentiment that is prevalent in
some quarters. He is for Parker and
will support him as long as there is a
possibility Of securing his nomination.
That is the attitude Of the Georgia
delegation, but in case it becomes evi-
dent that Parker cannot be nominated
then Georgia has majority which
would vote the whole delegation for
Cleveland.
"of course" said Mr.. Smith. my
preferences for Mr.. Cleveland is well
known and I would be glad TO see him
nominated. but we are honorably COM
ulitted ta Judge Parker"

N. Exxpti.n Story.

An Egyptian Story.
Here Is a strange story from Egypt:
Taha Ali and Ahmed Hamad carried
on the business Of butchers in partner
ship. Taha Ali informed Ahmed Ha-
mad that sum Of money belonging to
the partnership which had been left
with him had been stolen. Ahmed Ha-
mad did not believe the story and &C.
cused Taha Ali Of theft. They decided
to refer the matter to a fakir who had
settled in the neighborhood, to be tried
by a system Of ordeal. The two men
accordingly went to the fakir. He COP
fed some passages from certain reli-
gious books in his possession upon a
native writing board with European
copying ink. washed of the writing
with water into a BOWL dipped some
bread and water into the water and d.
vided the bread and water between the
two disputants, telling them that the
one who was in the wrong would be-
come very III. After eating the bread
and drinking the water the two dispu-
tants went away. Taha All was short
" afterward seized with violent pains
and. returning to the fakir, confessed
that he had stolen the money. His con-
dition became rapidly worse. and he
died few hours later. The medical
examination disclosed no sign Of poi
0oning.

THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI.
Trap That conpares Favorably with
the Big Rivers Of Earth.

TRIP That Compares F0voFably WITH
the Big Rivers Of Earth.
He who has made a voyage from st.
Paul to st. Louis by boat in the
springtime OF the autumn has seen the
finest river scenery that may be OBJ
served from the deck Of steamer ex-
eepting that Of the Hudson and the
Rhine. Yet few people are aware OF the
pleasure and beauty Of such trip.
have floated down nearly oil Of the
great rivers. The Amazon from Ma
naOs, the great rubber market, about
1900 miles from the sea, is vast, ugly
volume Of water without any beauty
whatever. The Orinoco from Ciudad
Bolivar is a small edition of the Am
AEON. although the tropical jungles
which line its banks are mysterious In
their denseness and are supposed to
conceal all sorts Of wild beasts and
creeping things. The Parana, which
flows from Paraguay down past Bue-
nos Ayres and Montevideo, is more like
the Mississippi than any Of the others
except that it lacks the bold cliffs and
charming towns and villages that over
look the Father of Waters. The Mag
dalena of Colombia, the fourth largest
river in South America, is a turbid
stream that is either very low or very
high, according as you travel in the
rainy or dry season of the year. Its
banks are lined with tropical forests,
often impenetrable, and it changes its
course as often as the Missouri. 1t has
wild sort of splendor, but it does not
compare with the Mississippi in any re-
spect.
In Europe the Danube is more like
the Mississippi than any other river
and drains a similar country. The pas
senger boats are much superior be-
cause the proprietors cater to the tour
list patronage. For several centuries
the governments Of the provinces
through which the Danube runs have
been improving its channel and walling
up it's banks so that along at least half
its course it is now more Of an artificial
than a natural stream. At one point
where it flows through mountain
gorge in the Balkans the scenery is
more striking than any along the Mis-
sissippi, but for the rest Of the way the
latter is much superior. The Volga in
Russia is good deal like the Missouri,
a tiny, muddy stream, with clay banks
that are not at all attractive. The
Rhine, of course, everybody knows
about, and for romance, ruins and other
artificial attractions and traditions it is
Incompatible.
The Nile has been utilized by tourist
agencies greatly to their profit and
equally to the pleasure Of their pa
irons, although there is very little nat
ural scenery. and the greatest attrac'
tons are the venerable ruins. the mys'
teries Of the desert through which II
flows and the picturesque Arab settle
ments that line its banks. II similar
accommodations for travellers that are
now found on the Nile could be placed
upon the Mississippi and the boats
managed with equal skill and liberalitJ
the enjoyment Of the voyage would bt
much greater, but suppose people will
continue to visit and admire the attrac
tons of Europe no matter what may
be said Of those that lie nearer home
