Sent Plate Glass Flying Into the Face. of the Fire Fighters The Loss i. About Thirty
 Thousand Dollars.

Boston, Feb 17.-Several firemen were injured, none fatally in hre which damaged the six story granite building, 90 North street, in the north end, to the extent of about $3O,OO0 early today. Among rh0se injured were Acting Chief John A.. Mullen, District Chiefs Peter McDonough and Joseph M. Garrity and Acting District Chief John T. Byron. The building was occupied by Duparquet, Huor & Monenz Go, dealers in stoves and ranges. The cause of the fire is 1or known Shortly after the fremen had erected their ladders, a hot air explo- sion blew out two large plate glass windows on the first floor. The men on the ladders managed to keep their hold, but all the flremen at work in front of the building were knocked down. The most seriously hurt was Acting District Chief Byron, who had both hands and feet badly burned and was considerably bruised. District Chief McDonough was burned about the head and body. These two were taken to hospital. Acting Chief Mul- len was bruised, but was able to con- tinue to direct the work. As the fire was in dangerous locality, three alarms were sounded. The greatest damage was done on the first and sec ond floors, where much stock was ruined. ~ lS 'A

CAUSED BY REMORSE

 Wa. Atoning for the Acci-

Chicago, Feb 17.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Cincinnati, Ohio, says:
 Rose H. Elmer, aged IT, an inmate of the Bethany home, an Episcopal orphanage in Glendale, died yesterday from burns received while cauterizing her arm in self-imposed penance, during which she accidentally set fire to her clothing. The coroner is inves- tigating the case.
 The girl desired to become nurse. Lillian Fears, a three year old inmate of the home, was suffering from a small cut on the arm, and Miss Elmer attempted to readjust the bandages. In doing so she knocked over kettle of !, boiling water that scalded the child's arm badly. Sl .s
 RemOrse for the accident caused Miss Elmer much suffering. It Is be- lieved she gained the idea she could atone for the accident by burning her self on the. arm.
 She was seen by other children hoid- ing her bare arm over a grare fire sU that the flames touched the bare flesh. Before anyone could interfere her clothing caught fire and she was soon enve1oped in flames. She never ral- lied from the shock. !,

co G BOYS WERE COLD
Driver Lost His Way Coming From Isryvills
 Thursday Night.

Y
 a Thursdav Night.
 The members of Go c who accom- panied their basketball team to Terry- vile Thursday evening had time which they are not liable to forget for some time and some of them are still sitting by their firesides trying to get tbawed out. It all happened because the driver of the bus did not know the roads in the vicinity and as re- suit the twenty fellows got a good freezing. After the game they attend ed dance in the burg and started on the return trip about midnight. The night was bitter cold and was not a, all suitable for bus riding. The mill- tary boys were huddled up in ths blankets and robes, but still the cold nipped their fingers, toes and ears Therefore it can be imagined that un- der the circumstances the fellows fn the bus were willing to say a few prayers for the driver when, after driving for two hours toward Water bury, as he thought, he landed in Ter ryville about 2 o'clock in the morn ing. When the players and their root CTS learned that they were in the same locality as where they started they wanted to hang the man who was the cause of it. Finally the crowd was auieted and the journey started once more. The weather also affected the horses so they proceeded very slowly and consequently 1t was about o'clock next morning when the felfow' reached this city.

FEDERATION OFFICIALS ARRESTED

The laboring class have opportun-
ity now as never uefore in American
history to see the lengths to which
capitalist government will go
against any organized resistance on
the part of the workers. Charles
Meyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, w. ID. Hay
wood. secretary of that organization,
and G.. A. Pettibone, former mem
Der of the executive board, have
been arrested on the direct charge
of the murder Of ex- Governor Steun-
enberg of Idaho, and taken to Boise.
Vincent st. John, formerly presi-
dent of the miners union at Tellu-
ride, Col, has also been arrested on
the same charge and taken to Boise.
This action on the part of the mine
owners is a diabolical conspiracy
against labor, worthy only of Rus
sia. The pretended confession"
against the union men charges them
with all the crimes that have been
committed in Colorado for years.

one hand and the interests of the
capitalist class on the other.
6. This class struggle between

2. In this conflict between the
workers and the capitalists, labor is
disarmed on the economic side, all

8. The best weapon under exist

9. This fact demands as an in.

The plutocratic puppets who are
so earnestly struggling to beat back
the tide of socialism that is sweep
ing over the land are in desperate
straits.
The condition of the laboring
class or wage slaves at the present
time is much like that of the child
rem of Israel while they were in their
Egyptian bondage. The Pharaohs
Of Capitalism are willing to do any
thing except turn their victims free.
When they have to they will short
en- their hours some, OF raise their
wages a trife, perhaps divide their
profit to a slight extent with the
ones that make profit possible. but
they don't want the slavish system
changed to one of justice.

themselves. They must revolt or
jar loose from the dear old parties

that represents strictly their own

party whose influence extends
around the world. Already ten
millions are marching under its ban

..........................

The intent is to hang the officials of
the Western Federation of Miners if
any courts can be gotten together
subservient enough to do the das-
tardly deed. The evidence plainly
came out in the Colorado cases,
during the historic strike, that the
mine owners and their detectives
were themselves the perpetrators of
the crimes ascribed to the union
men. Vincent ST. John is one of
the noblest characters that has ever
emerged from labor ranks to fight
the battle of his class. He was
compelled to flee from Telluride be-
cause charged with the murder of
Collins, a mine superintendent, al
though there was not a particle of
evidence against him. The particu-
lar reason for the hatred against ST.
John is that he came within seven
votes Of being elected sheriff in Tel
luride. Had the working class
elected him TO office, the history OF
succeeding events in that district
would have been vastly different
