TWO DISASTERS IN PITTsBuRe.
jews Fall Through Church Pavilion
Floor and Wall Crushes Italians.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 21.-More than
800 men, women and children were
precipitated fifteen feet into Il cellar
by the collapse of a platform during
the exercises incident to the laying of
the cornerstone of the Beth David
Russian Hebrew Orthodox synagogue
on Silver street, near Washington.
Nearly all were cut and bruised, but it
is believed none fatally hurt.
Three rabbis were among the num-
Der who went down, and although in
iured they concluded the ceremony
after the panic had subsidized.
Among the more seriously injured
were Rabbits A. G. Ashinsky, S. Graft
man and A. Bloom, Nathan Nathan
son, pastor Of the congregation, and
Policeman Adam L~efteweski.
The platform which broke had di-
mansions of about 80 by 80 feet and
had been constructed over the founda-
ton walls for the accommodation of
the rabbis, officers of the church and
invited guests.
Just prior to the cornerstone cere-
monies a brass band leading 800 Zion
lists marched up playing Il lively tune,
and when the Iionists were invited to
pass over the platform in order to sign
their names to the roll to be placed
in the stone Il mad rush was made by
the thousands of people who had gath
cred about to secure the same privi-
lege. The policemen were overwhelm-
ed, and in Il moment the platform was
packed with men, women and children.
The frail structure could not with
stand the strain and fully 800 persons
We're carried down.
The panic that followed attracted
thousands of people to the spot, and
the police had great difficulty in eX-
Treating the screaming and groaning
victims from the wreckage.
Fifteen men were carried down by
the falling of a wall in the ruins of
the Avenue theater, which was de-
stroyed by fire about a month ago.
The men carried down were all Italian
laborers, and thirteen of them were
taken from the wreckage in a badly
battered condition. At the hospital
the physicians say none of the vic
Tins will die, but five of the number
are seriously hurt.

of the surplus in the treasury on the
state roads. He suggested that $780,
900 could be spent on the roads and
also some of the state money used

they would get laws enacted for their
benefit in a greater abundance than
had been the case with recent legis-
latures.

Homemade Ice Box.

My friend had not room in her small
house for a refrigerator. so her husband
made what they call an outdoor refrig-
orator" using a box say 2Rx2x2 feet.
Substitute a Stat bottom for the solid
one, and make a hinged cover after the
manner of a trunk lid, slanting on top.
This is made of two layers of boards.
and covered with tin or zinc; or at least
have a little under the cracks 10 make
the refrigerator rainproof. Near the
bottom of the box (inside), nail cleats
onto the two longer sides, and across
these lay some large pieces of slate. On
these at one end put the ice-in the other
end and on the ice is place for food.
Now, in some shady and convenient To-
cation, dig a hole in the ground the right
size to take in the box. and deep enough
when completed, conceal it very neatly
up to the lid. A layer OF stones should
be placed in the bottom of the hole for
drainage. A paddock finishes the re-
frigerator. Cover the whole with some
large branches, and a clean, old quilt
rag carpet thrown over the top. Ice
will be found to last very nicely in such
a refriGerator.-Farm and Home.

CONFUSED BY SIMILAR FIRE ALARMS
Mount Vernon Force Turns Out for New
Rochelle Blaze, and Vice Verse

Il has been found that unless the fire
alarm system Of either Mount Vernon or New
Rochelle is changed there IS likelihood Of
continual confusion among the volunteer fire
men of both cities. The discovery has been
made that the sirens sound so much alike that
they cannot be distinguished. The two cities
are so close that when the wind is blowing east
and the Rochelle alarm is blown, Chief
Angevin. Of Mount Vernon. jumps out Of bed
and rushes for his boots and helmet thinking
that the fire is in his district. Chief Ross. of
New-Rochelle, has made the same mistake when
the Mount Vernon alarm was sounded and the
wind was from the west.
Both alarms were installed by the same COM
pany and cost about $1,000 apiece. Thursday
night the whole Mount Vernon department
turned out TO an alarm which was sounded in
New-Rochelle. Chief Angevin was in bed at
the time and when he heard the New-Rochelle
whistle he hurriedly dressed himself while his
wife teiephoned for his rig. As the chief dashed
down the street he met dozens OF Mount Yer
non fire fighters looking for the blaze The
chief and his men answered the box indicated
before they discovered the alarm was in New
Rochelle
Many other Mount Vernon 1remen have been
deceived by the New Rochelle alarm, and the
Fire Commissioners Of the two cities will be
called upon TO take some action TO remedy the
dilemma which confronts the TWO departments

and Drag Him Ashore.

Captain TreadweI and his crew. Of the United
States Life Saving Corps at Coney Island. were
almost unequal TO the task Of rescuing Frank
Witte the giant drum major of Luna Park,
from drowning yesterday morning. Witte, who
is seven feet two inches tall essayed his first
dip after he had visited several bathing estab-
lshments in a vain attempt to rent a suit of
proper size.
At Scoviue's baths, at West 21st-st., he got
suit which partly covered him. and wading al
most 10 the life lines before he missed bottom
the drum major boldly struck for deeper water.
A choppy sea soon exhausted him, and before
he could call for help he went down.
Miss Muriel Starr, a guest at a nearby hotel.
who was swimming less than hundred feet
away from the giant, hurried 10 him. but she,
TOO, was dragged under. Before the two came
to the surface Captain TreadweN and his men
were on the scene. The young woman was first
taken into the boat but the man was TOO tall.
A line passed about his shoulders and he
was towed ashore, where ii took nearly ten men
to carry him 10 a place where he could be resus-
citated. Witte able to lead the band at
Luna Park later in the day.
