TRADERS
ALLEY TO Be
MIDElIED.

Z At last there is about to be a
realization of the fond hope that
has been entertained for years that
Traders alley, which has been a
stencil in the nostrils of all for
years, is shortly to be widened, paved
and made one of the principal busI-
ness thoroughfares of the city.
1t is the very heart of the city and
is so situated that it can be made a
very useful street. OF the proper
width and nicely paved, it viii fur
nish great business opportunity and
add great charm to the central por-
ton of the city in the matter of
looks. Its being made into a street
will do away with the miserable
shacks along it, which so greatly in
lure the appearance of the city and
so materially retards its growth.
The matter has been agitated for
years. and most all the property
owners have been anxious to dedi-
cate a sufficient strip of land to
make it a street of proper width, but
the corner properties have hereto
fore blocked the plan, or at least
that has always been the impression.
But. now there is an opportunity.
1t is stated that the CLANCY proper
" owners are willing to give five
feet of their place on the corner of
Ehe alley and Fourth street. On
the opposite side the Clifford heirs
have torn down the old building and
IRE preparing to erect a permanent
brick building. and now before the
building is BEGUN is the time to get
five feet on that side. There ought
not to he any trouble about getting
it. rs the owners ere fair and can
readily see how much more valuable
their property would be with fine
street there instead of miserable
alley.
With that end of the alley clear
for action. there opqht not to be any
trouble about obtaining the proper
width at the other end, and, with
that done tie widening and paving
If the street ere insured, and follow
ING that will be the erection of fine
business blocks and greater things
for tlle central part Of the city.
The mqtter is Of such urgency
that tho mayor ought to lose no time
IN calling special session of the
council To take immediate action.

MIXED
WITH GANG.


j. NJ. Pratt, the well known fur
dealer, came in from Salem Tuesday
night, having heard that warrant
had been issued against him charg-
ing him with receiving stolen goods
from C. c. Moore's gang of despera-
does, who are now in jail awaiting
the action of the grand jury. After
some inquiry he ascertained that the
warrant had been issued at the of
fee of Justice NJ. S. Riley. He
went there to answer it, but the mag
istrate continued the case until
Sept. 10, and took Pratt's recognize
ance for one thousand dollars to ap-
pear for hearing before him on that
date.
Members of the gang stated that
they had sold some of the stolen
goods and that is how the warrant
happened to be issued.
1t is understood that Pratt does
not deny having bought goods from
the fellows, but he had no idea they
had been stolen.
Mr.. Pratt has ever been honorable
in his dealings and all who know
him say he is as honest as the day
is long. He began life with nothing
and has accumulated quite respect,
able fortune by his thrift and GOOD

THIRTY full QUARTS
of NITROGL YCERINE LET GO

Thirty quarts of nitro-glycerine
blew David NJ. Mckay, his wife.
: Two horses and a wagon out OF ex-
istence Wednesday morning at :3U
o'clock on the Buckeye road tiIree
miles west of Salem. Only the hlnt
axle of the wagon has thus far been
found. and there is no hope OF ever
finding more than a few fragments
OF the bodies of the dead man and
woman.
Mr.. Mckay resided at Salem and
was an oil well shooter for the
Fisher Torpedo Company, of Salem;
TEe had been thus employed severa
years and brayely incurred the risk
often driving the nitro-glycerln'
wagon into the oil fields and shoot
ing wells.
Early Wednesday morning ae'
eompanied by his wife, he started t.
the Buckeye field with his two-horsr
wagon loaded with the explosive, IN
tending to go to a well near WeS'
Union to shoot it. The trip was
made as far as the Hampton Ford
farm three miles out without Incl.
dent. where in the twinkling OF ar
eve the nitro-glycerine let go with
out a moments warning and Mckay
and wife never knew what happen
ed, so quick was their removal from
the earth
The explosion was so terrific that
1t was heard for miles and the
ground surrounding the scene was
torn up as if there had been an up
aheaval. The residents of that sec
ton were aroused and several rush
ed to the scene only to find every
svestige of man and woman gone
the horses dead at I'll" ='.le of tbs
road, and wagon missing except
part of the hind axle.
The news was hurriedly tele-
phoned to Salem, where the excite
ment soon became intense and part
les quickly former to 60 to thu
scene of the explosion.
At first it was reported that there
were three persons killed, the thlrt'
being a child of one of McKay's
brothers at Salem, who had beer
picked upon the way out, but later
advices stated that no child was
with them.
Searching parties went earnestly
to work to find the remains Of the
man and woman. After dilfgen'
search they ran across part of Al
arm and hand of Mrs. Mckay an'
also part of her hair, and most o
Mr.. McKay's face and parts of two
$50 bills, at points two hundred
yards from tie spot of the explosion
Just how the accident happened
will never be known. There may
have been leakage in one of the
cans, or it may have been caused b.
a JOLT from stone or bowlder.
Mckay and wife were about 81
years of age and very highly re-
speeted. The fearfulness of their
demise is deplored and has caused
much uneasiness among the fami-
lies and friends of others engaged
in hauling nitro-glycerine.
Less than year ago McKay's son
met death in a similar manner at
Upper Sandusly, Ohio.
Surviving Mr. Mckay are three
daughters by his first wife, who re-
side in Pennsylvania.
