Philadelphia, Sept 13.--As a result
of the recent political upheaval in this
city the county ticket nominated by
the republicans last. spring, prior to
Mayor Weaver's fight against the gas
lease, was Withdrawn yesterday and a
new ticket will be selected by the city
committee. The total number of voters
in Philadelphia according to the Sep
tember canvass, the complete returns
of which were announced yesterday, is
339 9c0, a decrease of $3.50 compared
with the canvass made in May, prior
10 the gas lease fight. After Mayor
Weavers break with the republican
organization, the mayor and reform
organizations had canvass made of
the voters of the city to eliminate
from the voting lists all fictitious
names.

PERKINS WOKE THEM UP.
Insurance Co. Tells of Big Contri-
buttons to Campaign Funds.

New York, Sept 16.-George w
Perkins, member Of the firm Of J. p
Morgan & Co.. and first vice president
of the New York Life Insurance Co.,
was the star witness at Fridays ses-
sion Of the legislative committee prob
ing life insurance companies methods
and his testimony was replete with
revelations in the development OF
finance as applied by insurance com
panies.
The climax of the day came when
Mr.. Perkins was asked concerning an
entry Of $4S,7O2 in a ledger, marked
Ordered Paid by the President" Mr..
Mr.. Randolph, the treasurer of the
New York Life Co., who had been on
the stand earlier in the day, had been
sharply questioned as to the purpOrt Of
this entry, but he was unable to eX-
plain it. He thought no one but the
president could. Mir. Perkins had
been called to testify as to some other
transactions and after a recess he was
asked to produce the check. 1t was
made out payable to J. P. Morgan &
Co, and Mr.. Perkins stated it was a
contribution to the national republic
an campaign committee in 1904 and
had been paid to Cornelius n. Bliss.
Mr.. Perkins said:
"This payment was made after very
careful delberation. 1t must not be
considered an ordinary contribution to
the campaign fund. 1t was paid be
cause We felt the assets of the New
York Life Insurance Co. would be
jeopardized by a democratic success. -
MIR. Perkins said contributions were
also made in 1900 and in 1896. AS an
illustration witness said the first con
tribution made was in 1896. by Presi-
dent Mccall, who is a democrat. "fe

fund and voted for Mckinley because

STRUCK PAY DIRT.
4 Sensational Exposure of Jueglers In
Life Insurance Finance Is Made by
the New York Investigators.

New York, Sept. 13.-Selling $780,
600 in bonds one day and buying them
back the next, but one holiday inter
vening, in order to keep within state
ments made in the New York Life In
surance Co.'S report to the supcrin-
tendent of insurance, was the sensa-
tional disclosure made Tuesday at the
session of the Legislative insurance in
vestigating committee. The fact was
drawn from Edmund ID. Randolph,
treasurer of the New York Life In
surance Co., late in the day, after At
torney Hughes, of counsel to the COM
mittee, had labored for over an hour
to get distinct answer from Mr.. Ran
dolph to direct inquiry.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Randolph had
handed Mr.. Hughes a schedule of syn
dcate underwritings of the New York
Life for the last ten years. This state
ment was to show, and a foot note to
the schedule so stated, that the com
pany had participated in no syndicate
transactions that had been closed out
with a loss. Among these syndicate
transactions was the underwriting of
the International Mercantile Marine
Co.
Mr.. Hughes drew from the witness
that there was an aggregate of $4,000
OG0 which the New York Life paid J.
p. Morgan & Co. on this joint account

BURN TO DEATH
ExLosION OF FUSE IN A FACTORY
AT AVON, CONN.,, RESULTED
IN DEATH AND PANIC.
SPECTATORS COULD GIVE NO AIO
Injuries Of Several of Those Hurt
During the Panic May Prove
Fatal-HorribIe Sights Wit
messed During the
Fire.

Avon, Conn, Sept. 1G.-The eXplo-
sion of a fuse, followed by a fire in
building of the Climax Fuse Co. here
Friday afternoon caused d panic
among 90 employees in the building
and resulted in the death of seven and
injuries that may prove fatal to sew
eral others. There was no way of
coping with the flames, which spread
rapidly, and in less than an hour after
the explosion occurred those who were
unable to escape were in the clutch of
the fire that burned their bodies to
ashes.
As the day wore on the great crowd
that collected in the hamlet saw the
bodies of men and women roasting in
the fire and were powerless to even
check the flames. The dead:
William Burke, 40 years old, mar
ried.
James Joyce. about 80, married.
Robert Mccarthy. aged 1S
James Wallace, married.
Molly Mccarthy.
Mrs. J. Sullivan.
Mrs. NJ. b. Tucker.
The exact cause of the accident may
never be known. but it is the accepted
theory here that in an effort to burn
out a stoppage in one of the machines
a workman. caused an explosion of
fuse with the hot iron he held in his
hand. Those who were in the room
where the explosion occurred say that
the explosion was not severe and ordi-
narily would not have caused a panic
Inflammable material. however. was
set on fire and in a few moments the
room was mass of flames. In an in
stant there was a mad rush for the
doors and windows and during the
scramble many were pushed back into
the flames and severely burned.
