Explosion and Loss of Life.

The explosion of fuse, followed by a
fire, in a building of the Climax Fuse
Company, at Avon, Conn.,, yesterday
afternoon, caused panic among 20 en-
ployes in the building and resulted in
the death of ten and injuries that
doubtless will prove fatal to several
Others.
There was no way of coping with the
flames, which soon spread rapidly. In
less than an hour after the explosion oc-
Cured those who we're unable to escape
we're burned to death. A great crowd
saw the bodies of men and women roast
ing in the fire and were pOwerless to even
check the flames.
In an effort to burn out a stOppage in
one of the machines it is believed that a
workman caused the explosion of a fuse
with the hot iron he held in his hand. A
moment after the explosion occurred the
room was mass of flames. There was
mad rush for the doors and windows,
and during the scramble many were
pushed back into the Oulldlng, WnlIe
others were severely burned.
The scene at the fire was heartrending.
Friends and relatives of the missing were
almost frantic 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 depart
ment in the town it was utterly useless
to try to cope with the flames with
buckets.
The body of woman 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.
Four buildings we're burned, the loss
being about 100000.

Odessa, Sept. l6.-Whst is believed

and ammunition to dissatisfied Poles by
taking the weapons and supplies up the
Danube river to some point where they
could be safely landed has been discoy-
cred by guards along the Russian bank
of the Danube, near Ismail, Bessarabia.
While the guards were patroling along
the river they came suddenly upon a
small sailing vessel flying the Greek
flag, which was trying to make a land
ing. When the guards appeared the
crew of the ship began firing at them
and forced the guards to retreat. The
latter returned later with reinforcements
and the boat sailed away and disappeared.
Little doubt is expressed that the vessel
was loaded with guns and ammunition
intended for shipment to Poland and
careful guard will be kept IN the future
to prevent a repetition of the smuggling
attempt.

Storm and Loss of Life.

An unusually heavy rain storm,
amounting almost to cloudburst in
proportions, and accompanied by high
wind in western Missouri and eastern
Kansas, early yesterday caused serious
damage to property and the loss of at

inches OF water fell. All streams are
rising rapidly, but no great damage
from this scource is feared.

World's TaIlest Man.

Ivan Macknow is the tallest man that
has ever lived, for he stands feet q
in ches in his socks and weighs 28O
pounds, although he is only 20 years OF
age. This extraordinary man was born
in Charkoh, Russia. When he was Z
years old he was as big as an ordinary
man. At IL years of age he was 6 feet
6 inches, and at IA he was feet inch.
When at Warsaw, Machnow was drafted
as a recruit of the Imperial Guard, but
he slipped over the frontier to avoid
serving. His journeys are not a source
of pleasure to him, for both in the train
and on the boat he has to spend most
of his time in a recumbent position.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEP. l6. 1906

The REVELATIONS now being made
through the investigation of insurance
companies in New York set forth plain
" what the mass of the American peo-
pie have for many years believed--that
the republican party was bought itself
into power since 1896. Such means
were doubtless resorted to previous to
that time, but that recent campaign
funds were furnished by trusts, railroads
and insurance companies, financial in
slitutions and and manufacturers who
fatten upon prevailing tariff conditions,
has for years been evident. George W.
Perkins, vice president of the New York
Life Insurance Company, testified before
the Armstrong insurance committee in
New York yesterday that the New York
Life has contributed $50, 900 to the re-
publican national campaign committee
in each of the last three national cam
paigns. Mr.. Perkins said that the con-
tribution was made as the result of exec
utive action alone, and that the matter
had never been passed on formally BY
the New York Life executive committee.
He declared that he regarded the COM
pany's assets as imperiled in these cam
paigns. 1t was charged that the price
of coal was advanced during the two Nc
FINLEY campaigns in order that the
b4rons could contribute literally to the
republican committees fund from other
peoples money. BY this means the
head of every house in the United States
was robbed and made to contribute to-
ward McKinley's election. Revelations
now being made in New York go to show
that hard.earned money paid by policy
holders in certain insurance companies
is devoted TO similar purposes. The
people of this country have for years
been sorely tried by the high-handed
procedures of corporations which are
backed by a party that tolerates and pro-
tects such injustice.

THE TANGLED relations of insurance
companies, bankers and railroads were
laid bare to a considerable extent Thurs
day by close questioning of witnesses be-
fore the legislative committee investigat-
ing insurance conditions in New York.
Treasurer Frederic Cromwell, of the
Mutual, bluntly declared that railways
must deal with bankers to float thei!
stock and the insurance companies must
deal with bankers to get good invest
ments at good prices. The truth is, and
this was admitted, that the railroads must
stand in with the bankers to sell their
securities and the insurance companies
must stand in with the bankers to buy
at low prices

Building Wrecked by Bomb.

New York, Sept. 16. - Thirty-five
persons had a narrow escape from death
in Williamsburg early today, when some
one believed to be a member of a "blSck
hand" society threw bomb into the
front doorway of three-story double
frame house at No. Sl9 Flushing ave-
uue. There was a terrific explosion,
which partially wrecked the building,
and the several families in the house
were thrown into panic and escaped to
the street by the fire escapes. Fortu-
nately no one was injured. The police
believe the intention was to kill Casino
P. Lolita, a well-to-do Italian, who has
barber shop and living quarters in the
building. He told the police that he
had received 25 threatening letters with
in year. The last one be received less
than a geek ago, and it informed the bar
Der that if be did not place 5000 in a
certain spot his life would be taken.

The SUICIDE of Ella Berry, of West
Nedford. Mass, in New York hotel a
few days ago was, it seems, superinduced
by publication in Boston paper re-
fleeing upon the young woman's charac-
ter. 1t was alleged that she had left
her home with a married man. This
unfortunate case should prove sufficient
answer to queries, often propounded by
thoughtless people, why newspapers
ignore this or that species of gossip
which at times circulates in all COM
munities. There are always people in
the world who want the family skeletons
of Others brought into the limelight, and
they are the most censorious persons
newspaper men meet. This class is COM
posed mainly of individuals whose pri-
vate lives could not bear the rays OF
searchlights. They read sensational
newspapers, feed upon froth and foam,
are hypercritical and have a good word
for no one. The Boston paper referred
to above was engaged in preparing liter
airy dishes for such people when it cast
aspersion upon a sensitive and innocent
young woman, who was driven to sui
eide by the unmerited notoriety she had
attained. Her blood is upon the head
of the man who wrote the story, and he
will go through life with remorse that
will not down and conscience impervi-
Gus alike to bribery or cajOlery. The
greatest care should be exercised in
publishing a newspaper. tits terrible
weapon in the hands of a mischieyOus
man.

Floods I'm India.

Lahore, India, Sept. 16.-Reports are
slowly arriving giving the details of the
floods in the Kashmir valley show the
great extent to which the country has
been inundated. The water covers ten
miles of the road to Kashmir, capital of
the province, and Srinagar, one of the
important towns Of the district, resem-
bled an open sea. Almost the entire
European quarter of the city, as well as
a great part of the native section, has
been submerged. The inhabitants had
ample warning, however, of the approach
of the flood, so that nearly all escaped
and il is not believed that there has been
much loss of life attendant upon the food.
