All this, however. is merely incident
al, being as nothing when compared to
the awful details of that Russian ira
gedy. \. terrible feature OF the woe of
Siedlcc is that many persons died or
thirst. The drunken soldiers and police
cleaned out blocks, leaving only the
dead and wounded behind. Many or
these buildings were not entered for five
days and it is said twenty bodies of
men and women. who died from their
up.
One Jewish girl was found uncon-
eciouS on the loo undcr Il water fau-
Get. Two policemen had broken o
her legs and cut her in the side with
a sword. She had dragged herself
across the floor. but was unable to rise
to the faucet. There she lay in agony
for nearly five days. She revived just
long enough to gasp "Watcr! Water"
and then died.
An old whitc-hcadcd jew. one of the
wealthiest mel in the city. was found

where he had dragged himself to the

on the faucets, struggled over the Side

The preliminary statement of the Erie
railroad for the fiscal year ended June
30. 1906. shows gross earnings of over
500 OO, 900. an increase over the previous
year of S4.277 600, and an increase in
net of S1,547. 900. Tn company incurred
an additional expense Of only 100000 in
conducting the transportation of over ST.
100000 additional gross earnings. This
is an indication that improvements which
have been completed are producing the
desired results in lcsscning the cost of
transportation.
1t is a curious fact that the American

a center aisle and seats on either side,
was an English invention, while the Eu-

few of the end-door coaches.

WRECKED By DYNAMITE.
Explosion at JeIlicO. Tenn, Does

81 100000 Damage.
A terrific dynamite explosion at Jellico,
Tenn, caused the loss of at least nine
lives and more or less seriously injured
not less than fifty people. Properly dam
age estimated at $ .UOO.eOO was done and
the town of Jcllico. Ky. was practically
destroyed. At least . people are home
less. Without exception every business
house in the town is either totally wreck
ed or badly damaged. The union station
of the Southern railway and the LOUIS
Vile and Nashville railroad, located about
100 yards from the scene of the eNplo-
sion, was shattered to spIint"rs. This cut
off all Geographic communication CAD
news of the explosion was handled by
telephone.
The explosion occurred upon the Ken
lucky side of Jcllico, and in consequence
every business house on that side of the
town was wrecked. Not one was spared.
A large number of residences located near
the railroad on the Kentucky side were
demolished. AS a result it is estimated
that one-seventh of the population of the
two Jellicos is homeless.
A car loaded with dynamite, and con-
signed to the Rand Powder Company, was
brought in by the Southern railway from
the direction of Knoxville and was side
tracked in the yards used jointly by the
Southern railway and the L.. 4 n. 1t is
believed that the explosion was caused
from spontaneous combustion in the car.
The spot where the car stood is marked
by a crevasse in the earth fully twenty
feet deep and about thirty feet in dame
