Panic Among the Enployes-seven
Lives Lost-Eleven Persons In

the Unfortunates.

Avon, Conn, Sept. 16.-The explo-
sion of a fuse, followed by fire in
building of the Climax Fuse company
here Friday afternoon caused a panic
among 20 employees in the building and
resulted in the death of seven and in
Juries that doubtless will prove fatal
to several Others There was no way
of coping with the flames, which soon
spread rapidly, and in less than an
hour after the explosion occurred those
who were unable to escape were in the
clutches OF a fire that eventually
burned their bodies to ashes. AS the
day wore on the great crowd that col
lected in the hamlet saw the bodies of
men and women roasting in the fire
and were powerless to check the
flames

sion of fuse, with the hot iron he

Infammable material was set on fire
and in few moments the room was a
mass Of flames. In an instant there
was mad rush for the doors and win
dows, and during the scramble many
were pushed back into the building,
while others were severely burned
The scene at the fire was heartrend-
ing. Friends and relatives of the
missing were almost frantic with grief
when it became known that bodies OF
those close to them were being burned
to crisp in the ruins of the factory
AS there is no fire department in the
town it was utterly useless to cope
with the flames with buckets

AS one Of the walls of the second
largest building fell several bodies
could be seen entangled in the mass OF
machinery in the basement and in 6

Early in the evening the body of a wo
man was seen near the edge of the fire
and an effort was made to pull it away
from the flames, but on account of the
great heat this was impossible 49,

GATES WINS BIG MONEY.
Placed $4,000 on IsraeIite, His Own
Horse. and Won.

New York, Sept. 27.--John w. Gates,
the Chicago plunger, made the book
makers at the Brighton Beach track
Monday, realize that he was a horse
owner who was willing to back his
thoroughbred for any amount Of money
whenever his colors We're in a race
His horse, Israelite, racing under the
name OF c.. e. Durnell. was entered
In the third race and Gates was SO
certain that he would win that he bet
$4,000 on him.
In order to make victory sure Gates
entered Israelite in selling race, to be
sold for $1,000. This is about $4,000
below his real value. He was put in
at that figure that he might carry less
weight. The horse had been run up
to $4,000 in selling race at Sleeps
head Bay and Gates was ready and
willing to stand another boost" II the
horse should win.
Gates made great preparations to bet
his money. His trainer. Boots Durnell
said that barring an accident the horse
could not lose, so the owner determined
to make one of his plunges to offset
some Of his previous losses and pay
expenses of the winter. Accordingly
he had twelve men stationed in the
ring before the race was called with
others to bet on the horse as soon as
the odds were posted.
The bets were placed in the name Of
John Walters. clubhouse commits
sioner who had charge of the money.
Nearly every bookmaker accepted
some kind of a wager and 100000 was
placed before the horses went to the
post. In the early betting 1sraelite was
s to 5. but at post time his odds had
been forced down to to S.
Durnells estimate of Israelite's
qualities was not misplaced. The horse
not only won. but he made his oppo-
nents look like common hacks. and
smashed the track record for mile
and a sixteenth-1:44 as. This is not
only a new mark for the course, but
lit equals the worlds record by Glass
full at the Washington park track. Chi
cago. in 1903.
The expected bids came after the
race. AS soon as Israelite was offered
for sale at $1,000 John McCafferty, who
had bid the horse up at Sheepshead
bay from $500 to $4,000, bid $4,000.
Boots" Durnell, not wishing to pro-
long the agony, came back with bid
of $4,000. Then Frank Brown, who
formerly owned the horse, bid $4,000.
Durnell retorted with $4,000, and the
horse was knocked down to him at
that figure.

SEES PERIL TO ROOSEVELT.
Dr.. Esan Urges Abandonment of Visit
Ia Fever Belt


Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 27.-Dr. j. A.
Egan, secretary of the, Illinois board Of
health, has written to Secretary Probst
of the American Public Health asso-
citation of Boston urging that oreani-
cation to appeal to President Roose-
welt to abandon his proposed trip to
| New Orleans on october "a, because OF
the danger from yellow fever. In the
letter Dr. Egan says:
II must confess absolute astonish-
ment that any assurances of the ru-
ture condition of the city can be OPP
timistically foretold under the existing
circumstances. When we consider the
history of epidemics it is remarkable
indeed that such records for the early
months of yellow fever should be ac-
cepted in any way encouraging.
The history of yellow fever In the
south clearly indicates that the number
of cases in September is no index OF
the spread of the disease i'm the sea-
son. August and early September
have, as a rule, been merely the initial
months of the yellow fever epiden,cs.
Dangers to President and Nation.
The seriousness of the situation is
not appreciated at first sight. "A visit
| by the chief executive of the nation 10
d state in which communicable amt
deadly disease RACES uncontrolled en-
tails dangers not only to the president
| individually but to tile nation as a
whole. Aside from the governmental
disruption invariably occasioned by the
death of a president, we must consider
the dangers to which others are sub
Jected in the performance of Their. duty
by this unnecessary trip. Those who
through necessity or sense or duty ac-
company the president on this hazard
Gus expedition will be exposed to dan
gers which should not be incurred, ev-
en- by one OF MI. Roosevelt's personal
fearlessness.
In addition to this it must be APP
preciated that the visit of the resident
will cause the entrance into the IN
fected territory of many hundreds of
unacclimated persons, who will be at
tracted by his presence, many of whom
will subject themselves to possible in
lection from this fatal disease in the
false sense of security which i'll ad-
v1sed assurances to the president have
occasioned."

isn't such an easy stunt as most people
imagine. One of the first things to be
considered is the attitude Of the animal
For example, if this tiger We're mounted
in a recumbert position, as if he were
at peace with all the world, 1t would
be an objectionable artistic sin to fur
nish him with eyes that show fight. On
the other hand, since he is braced back
all ready for battle, it would be an
equally grievous mistake to clap into
his head pair Of eyes expressive Of
noon time drowsiness.
Money? o. yes, a little. For this
order I'll get dollar an eye. In some
cases 1 get as high as 81 an eye, and
again only so cents pair"

the man who went to Sing Sing to
shield woman's reputation. Car
Fischer Hansen, the lawyer who gave
out the story several weeks age, of the
remarkable self sacrifice of the lnyster-
ious undergraduate, refuses to discuss
the case until he has laid the facts be-
fore Governor Higgins as the first ster
toward the liberation of the student
who is guiltless OF any crime that
would warrant his imprisonment in a

The acquaintance of Whitwell point
out that he was a student at Harvard

the period named in the dramatic story
told by Mr.. Fischer-Hansen.
The young man came to this city, APP
parently to visit his parents. He ar
rived on the morning of Feb Z, 1903,
but never reached his home, and has, it
is said, never been seen since.
According to the story given out by
Mr.. Fischer Hansen, a man OF means
and prominence of this city, returning
home unexpectedly, found young man
calling on his wife.
When he demanded an explanation of
the visitor, an undergraduate at one of
the better known colleges, the student
declared, rather than compromise the
wife, that he had come to the house

The boats course was Immediately
turned in the direction of the cries, but
in the darkness no trace Of human
being could be found. Thinking he had
been mistaken in the sounds Captain
Martin ordered the ship on her course

came and once more the big ship
turned back. but the search was again
fruitless.
Again the Juniata started on her

A "JoLLY" FOR JOHN D.
Prominent Residents Of Cleveland Call
to Congratulate Rockefeller.

Cleveland, o., Sept 27.-Several
hundred representative men Of Cleve-
land called upon John d. Rockefeller
afternoon and through Andrew Squire
a prominent attorney, and L. E. Holden
proprietor of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. expressed to Mr.. Rockefeller
their esteem for him as citizen and
as a great business man.
The gathering included merchants,
lawyers, clergymen, educators and men
in humber walks of life. Forming at
the lodge, the entrance to the estate,
the assemblage walked up the steep
hill to the old fashioned summer home
overlooking the city and the country
Through Mr.. Squire every person was
presented to and shook hands with Mr..
Rockefeller. There were personal
statements of good will from those
who greeted Mr.. Rockefeller, who ex-
pressed his thanks for their kindly ex-
pressions and esteem.
Mrs. Rockefeller was present.
After all the guests had been pre-
scented to Mr.. Rockefeller an adjourn
ment was taken to the veranda, and
in the presence of the entire assem-
blage which had gathered on the lawn
Immediately below, Mr.. Squire made
an address to Mr.. Rockefeller, giving
expression to words of eulogy and re-
gard for the man who had been a res
ident Of the city for fifty years. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Squire referred to the
question Of railroad rate legislation.
saying that 1t was Q subject which,
like many others, had been discussed
glibly and that the loudest declama-
tons came from those WHO knew least
about the subject. He said that the
competition common between produc-
ers. consumers and transporters did
more to regulate rates than all else.
He asked if 1t was not a question
whether the men engaged In the COM
mercial enterprises were not more en-
titled to a monument than to indis-
criminate condemnation.
Survival Of the Fittest.
Mr.. Squire said the principle Of the
question 81 Survival Of the fittest" is
too firmly established to be overturned
or long delayed even by legislative
enactments He said that since the
organization of the Standard Oil Com
pany there has been no water in its
stock. Its advent and history, he said,
have taught mighty lesson in keep
ing accurate account of cost and in
turning to profit all seemingly waste
products and in quietly, harmoniously
and continuously developing its great
enterprise and supplying its products
at reasonable prices.
Mr.. Squire said that Cleveland and
Ohio had produced many great men in
their particular lines, but in the
knowledge of laws of trade, in grasp
ing and in applying them, in creating
and building up of Industries that are
far reaching, it is doubtful If the world
has ever produced greater man than
Mr.. Rockefeller.
