KILLED BY A BOMB NEWSOFNORTHWEST

PHILADELPHIA BANK.
Cashier VIM. z. McLear of Fourt st.
National Bank Is Dead and Several
Clerks Were Injured Bomb Thrower
Had Been Refused a Loan-Crime
Was His Revenge.

Philadelphia, Jan. GA bomb,
thrown by an unidentified man short
ly before noon in the Fourth Street
National bank, killed Cashier William
z. McLear and the bomb thrower.
About 10 clerks were injured. Two of
the latter may die.
Fire started and panic occurred,
the district being crowded at the
time. The interior of the building
was entirely wrecked. The police i'm
mediately threw heavy guard
around the scattered cash and securi-
ties. One of the most seriously in
jured was William Krupp, negro port
er. His face was half blown away and
his eyes blown out. T. A. Hosbach
was so badly burned it is believed he
will die.
The Internal machine was carried
into the presidents Office by a tall,
thin man, evidently Russian. He
told President Rushton a story of
poverty IN rambling fashion and
wanted to borrow $4,000 on an insur-
ance policy. Rushton didn't like his
appearance, and said: wait until I
get through my routine work and
will see what l can do for you" The
colored porter was called and usher
ed the man to the outer Offices. He
stood near the cashiers Office and
placed a package he carried on the
floor, watching it in silence. A ter
rife explosion followed. McLear and
the stranger were blown almost to
pieces and the porter fell writing on
the floor. Throughout the other parts
of the bank employees and officials
were bleeding from wounds caused by
flying glass, portions of the bomb and
fixtures. Ambulances and patrol
wagons soon arrived and police and
firemen restored order.
President Rushton says the man
gave his name as G. E. Williams, and
said he lived in the suburbs. An in
ventery, completed in half an hour,
showed all securities and money in
tact.

VALUE OF THE U. S.
EVERYTHING SUMMED UP BY
The EXPERTS.
Railroads Over Eleven BiIIions-Real
Estate Over Sixty-tWo Billions
Live Stock Over Four Billions
Gold and Silver Coin Nearly Two
Millions-Merchan 10 Billions.

The total value of everything in the
United States, including real estate,
live stock, farm implements, tools,
gold and silver bullion, railroads,
street railways, clothing, furniture,
jewelry, etc., has been summed up by
the government experts, and here Is
the total:
Each year sees an increase in the
sum total of our wealth. The count
which has resulted in the above fg-
ures was made in 1904 and has just
been tabulated. The census of 1900
showed the total value of property
to be $8S,517 ,306,775. Thus we have
gained something like $4,000. 900. 900
in four years. This gain is in actual
tangible commodities, things which
can be seen and handled and does not
include the kind of values in which
Wall street and the stock markets
deal.
According to the authorized figures
every man, woman and child ought
to have more wealth than he or she
had four years ago. If all of the real
estate were divided up on the basis
of it's actual value, and each person
given a proportionate share, together
with the houses, fences and other
improvements upon the land, each OF
the 81,256,0 individuals in the Unit
ed States would possess $767.22 worth
of real estate. Four years previously
his share would have been $691.33
worth.
The present average value per
acre of real estate with improvements
is $32.75. Four years ago the average
value per acre was $27.60. The total
value of all the real estate with i'm
provements in the United States is
aggregate value was $685., 62S, 164.
The total value of all the railroads
with their equipment, exclusive of
telephone systems and telegraph lines,
is Sill $4,000. This is an increase
over four years ago when the same
item was worth $9,035,732.000.
Next to railroads the live stock
of the United States is its most val
liable asset, amounting as it does to
$4,073, 791, 1856, which, by the way, is
an increase of about 100000, geo
over their value four years ago. Man
'ufacturing machinery, tools and i'm
plements come next in value, amount
ing to $3,297.754,1S0. Jumping to
,gether the products Of agriculture and
the mines, imported merchandise
clothing and personal adornment, fur
,niture, carriages, the total Is estimat
ed at $18,462 1881 1872.
After all gold and silver coin and
bullion are the least important as
sets in our wealth. The total OF
these is only paltry $1,99S, O63,3O3.
Judging only by the division of the
real estate and it's improvements
among the people, the least desirable
state in which to reside is Mississippi
