DYNAMITE DEALS DEATH
Youth Drops an Explosive Cap to II
Iustrate an Accident and Death
and Destruction Follow. y

BY the explosion of dynamite in
the small fireworks factory Of Joseph
Carbo and John Niva, Italians, In Sa-
vannah, at 9 O'Clock, Wednesday night,
one fireman was burned to death,
another was fatally burned, assistant
fire chief and another fireman were
seriously and possibly fatally burned.
The proprietors were also painfully
burned.
Carlo and Niva were engaged In
counting torpedoes they had manufac-
tured. One dropped and caused the ex-
plosion OF the rest. Carlo and Niva
suffered painful injuries, those Of
Carlo being the more serious.
The small building took fire and a
chemical company of the neighbof-
hod responded to the alarm and
quickly extinguished the blaze.
Assistant Chief Mouro was tele-
phoned, as it was desired that he in
yestigate, it being suspected that the
Italian proprietors had a greater
quantity of explosives in the place
than the city ordinances permit. Upon
his arrival he and Fireman Eady,
OLeary and Daley entered the build
ing. With them was boy, Fred Chit
ty, Is years old, who had crowded
his way in.
The firemen were specuiating as to
what co1lld have caused the explosion.
"I'll show you how it happened" re-
marked Chitty, picking up a dyna-
mite cap. This he hurled to the floor,
and there followed three explosions
in quick succession. The building col
lapsed and the detonations were heard
all over the city. Window glasses
were broken in the neighborhood and
debris was sent flying In every direc-
ton. Fire followed the explosions.
Eady was caught beneath the fall'
ing timbers, crushed to death and his
body incinerated. The others escaped
to the open.
All of the injured were at once
hurried to hospitals. Carlo and Niva
had already been hurried to Park
View sanitarium for treatment, but
the superintendent Of police almost
Immediately directed their removal
to the police station. This was for
q dual purpose, the effecting OF their
arrest and to save them from a mob.
The crowd became greatly infamed
Immediately upon arriving on the
scene and hearing what had occur
red. Lynch the dagoes," was the
shout. Never mind the police; lynch
the dagoes."
The cries stirred the crowd to q
pitch Of frenzy, but the appearance
of additional policemen prevented an
outbreak.

A MODEL ENGLISH VILLAGE.
Bournv;Iie, Where the Workers Live
in Wooded Park. -

During the past eleven years Bourn-
vile village has arisen, and today 1t
shelters a community of about 5000.
It covers an area Of more than $50
acres, nearly the whole of which was
free gift by Mr.. George Cadbury.
The village, which STANDS amid gar
dens and park lands, comprises dwell
ings which are not beyond the resour-
ces of the artisan, and also a fair
proportion of houses of the villa type.
No two houses are alike. The aver
age garden space allowed to each
house is 600 square yards; and that
most of the occupiers take a pride In
their gardens is abundantly evident.
The roads are ~. feet wide, and are
planted with trees. The houses are
set back at least 20 feet from the
roads. About 1900 out Of the 1000
employees in Messrs. Cadburys FAC
tory reside in Bournville. OF the re-
naming residents about 40 percent
work in Birmingham. Mr.. George
Cadbury explained that out Of their
1000 workpeople only seven had died
for the last four years, death rate
of less than two per 1000. Six hun
dred or 700 girls had learned to swim
in a large bath provided for them at
the works. Practically all the boys
and men could swim.
No cottage is allowed to occupy
more than one-fourth or one-ffth OF
the area of land on which it stands.
Mr. Cadbury urged that if we were
to maintain our position as an imper-
ial race the problem Of ,overcrowding
in unsanitary surroundings in our
great cities must be faced. At Bourn-
vile village the death rate was rs,
whereas in the working class quarters
of Birmingham the rate was three
times as high. One of the principles
which had been put into practice at
Buurnville was that every child
should be within five minutes walk nt
a playground. He hoped England
would soon adopt the German scheme
of not allowing any district to he de-
veloped for building without the whole
Of the plans being fist submitted to
central authority.-London Times.

BEFORE WATERLOO.

His face is scanned With lines Of care,
Despair and agitation;
His knitted, clouded brow is wet
With beads of perspiration.
What dreadful curse hangs Ger his head
Like sword to fall and smite him?
Or has his conscience serpent fangs
To sorely sting and bite him?
Oh, no: with friends he cracked some
Jokes
When all were feeling mellow,
And they convinced him that he was
A bright and sparkling fellow.
They captured in his moments weak,
This rash, vainslorious sinner,
And he consented with q speech
TO grace a public dinner.

Where is his inspiration scnee
His mind now gropes and WGnders,
And now and then he mutters low
And bites his lip and ponders.
He turns his stock Of stories DER
And finds with memory Turky
He's stuffed as full of chestnuts as

So he'll break down-he knows he will
Supreme of all disgraces:
He Shudders as he thinks ne sees
The rows of glistening faces:
So. as the fatal hour draws nigh,
He paler grows and thinner,
And sloonlier than a funeral feast
Appears that dreaded dinner

Mrs. T1ngley was not interested but
she edged toward a cold steam radia-
tor and listened while Tingley ran On.
Like all the great inventions, my
dear, the simplicity and obviopsness
of this chiefly excite one to marvel that
the ages have had to wait so long for
it's discovery. My device is based on
the same idea as that of common or
garden gallows.
The speaker, when introduced, is
escorted to a platform or dais, slightly
raised above the level Of the floor, so
that all may see him better. He is in
reality standing on a trapdoor, oper-
ated by clockwork. AS soon as he be-
gins to speak the toastmaster presses
button, which sets the clock mechan'
ism in motion The speaker is warned
that his remarks must be limited to
ten minutes. It is possible to prolong
the time by simple adjustment Of
the clockwork. but under no circum-
stances can this be extended beyond
eighteen minutes, as nobody on earth
can conceivably have anything to say
that crowd OF men full of dinner can
properly listen to for longer than q
quarter of an hour.
"One minute before the allotted
time the speaker hears a low but onl-
inious buzzing beneath his feet. This
gives him ample time for his perora-
ton or reminds him Of his final story.
He then finishes and retires.
Otherwise-otherwise my dear, at
the exact end of the allotted time the
trap beneath him opens automatically
and he disappears into yawning
chasm."
Good gracious!" exclaimed Mrs.
T1ngley with pardonable excitement.
''What becomes of him then?"
"That depends" said Mr.. Tingley.
"I have several schemes in mind. In

caldron of boiling OIL This is surely
no more than is due to man so
merciless of his fellow citizens. An

ship has upset the plans of the new Womens
Eastern Golf Association. Mrs. Z. +. SANFORD
president OF the association. expressed surprise
at the selection of the Brae Burn course for the
national championship. especially as the East
ern body had received word from the secretary
Of the club offering its links for the sectional
tournament. Mrs. Sanford said that no official
action had been taken the Brae Burn clubs
letter. as 1t would be necessary to bring the
matter before the executive committee. The COM
mittee will hold meeting in this city the latter
part OF March. In the opinion OF the president
1t would be unwise to hold the Eastern cham
pionship at Brae Burn now that the national
tournament is to be decided there. and person
ally Mrs. Sanford would like to see the Eastern
championship played on course near New
York
Such move, although likely to meet with
favor by majority of the women golfers. can
hardly be made consistently, as it is Boston's
turn to hold the tri-city matches for the Griscom
cup and It has practically been decided to COM
bine the tri-city contests with the Eastern
championship. The Boston women are too keen
to win the Griscom cup TO allow the meeting TO
