Blast Causes Great Excitement.

Blast Causes Great Excitement.
The Fourth Street National bank
is the largest financial institution in
the city and occupies the greater
portion of the first floor Of the Bull
lit building on Fourth street between
Chestnut and Walnut streets in the
heart of the financial district The
explosion was terrific and it caused
tremendous excitement in the crowd
ed building and the street.
The explosion occurred few min.
the bank is usually we'll filled with
persons in hurry to transact bust
ness before the bank closes. No one
saw the unknown man enter the bank
except E. F. Shanbacher, the vice
president, who was passing out of the
building on his way to luncheon. He
noticed the man was poorly dressed,
looked like a Russian and carried
small parcel. The man walked
straight back to the rear of the bank
and asked clerk to direct him to
the office of the president, Richard H.
Rushton. What took place in his Office
is best told by the president himself:
Demands Loan of $4,000.
II was very busy when the man
entered my Office and I asked him to
be seated for a moment. He was
very poorly dressed, had patches on
his shoes and his entire appearance
made me a bit curious While he was
waiting for me to finish the business
| had in hand at the moment | hap
pened to notice that he looked at me
very curiously. I asked him his bust
ness and he gave his name as G.. E.
Williams and said he wanted loan
of $4,000. He did not look like a man
who could make a loan Of that amount
and I asked him for collateral. He
said something about an insurance
policy and that it would mature in
from one to five years. | was then
convinced the man was a crank and
decided to dismiss him at once, not
for a moment thinking there was any
harm in him. | told him at once
that he would have to see the cashier
and directed him out in the banking
department. AT the same moment
called my colored messenger, William
Crump, to see that the man was quick
ly taken out Of the building AS I
turned to continue my work at the
desk there was a terrific explosion
and thought the building was coming
down. The man had not time to reach
the cashier, the explosion came too
| soon."

Chinese Hotels.

The hotels are usually grouped with
in a square or two of one another. Each
one seeks to attract guests by high
sounding titles. For example, in Can

is not so bad, but the traveller who
goes to one of these houses to sleep
will wish that he had gone to another.
The bedrooms are small, thin walled
boxes in which you may hear the
breathing of your next neighbor or be

was supposed he had not been killed
but In taking out the body of Cashier
McLear and looking for other dead,
portions of body We're found that

been blown to pieces.
Presidents Miraculous Escape.
The escape Of President Rushton
was almost miraculous for the damage
is greatest in his Office The ceiling
over his desk is despatched with blood
and under a pile of Wreckage in one
corner of the Office was found the
head and shoulders of the bomb
throWer as well as his overcoat. Mr..
Rushton does not know how he
escaped, but recollects going up the
steps Of the building to the Down
Town club, dining organization,
where he was later found in a dazed
condition
Not only is the entire interior of the
bank wrecked but the large windows
looking out on a small side street
were blown out The explosion scat
tered all the books and papers of the
institution that were not in the vaults
at the time. Some of them were blown
out of the windows and were returned
by those who found them. AS soon as
the excitement Of the explosion had
subsidized policemen and uninjured
clerks were set to work searching the
wreckage for all papers. 1t probably
will take days before the bank officials
are able to tell how many of the valu-
able documents in the banks custody
were destroyed, as the whole place
was strewn with torn bits of papers.
w T. McLear, the dead cashier, was
about IS years of age. He had been
with the Institution about ten years,
acting as assistant cashier. Six
months ago he was made cashier. He
was regarded in financial circles as
one of the ablest bank officials in the
state.
William Crump, the messenger, was
terribly injured. Both his eyes were
blown out, his scalp torn off and his
face SO mangled that he was unrecog-
nlzable. He was taken to the Penn
sylvania hospital. There the physi-
clans learned from him that he saw
the man raise his arm to throw some
thing. Crump jumped at him but he
was too late.

Two Lives Snuffed Out.

Details as to what actually happened
when the man left the Office of Pres
ident Rushton differ as no one can
be found who saw the man drop the
bomb. The door to the office Of Cash
Ter Mclean is only a few feet from
that of President Rushton, and the
man must have dropped the deadly
missile between the two rooms.
Cashier Mclean was sitting at his
desk at the time and his body was
badly mangled. The bomb throwers'
body was torn to pieces
At the time the explosion occurred
all the vaults were open, books were
piled on desks and papers of all sorts
of value were lying on desks prepare
tory to being put away for the day
The explosion devastated the interior
of the big banking room. Glass and
wooden partitions were wrecked and
leveled' to the ground as though a
cyclone had swept through the place.
Desks were ruined and iron bars were
twisted, in fact there was hardly an
object left intact in the room OF all
the persons in the room at least six,
all of them clerks, were hurt, two of
them probably fatally Three of the
injured were sent to the hospital.
Believed Building Collapsed.
The explosion blew every one in the
banking room to the floor and for a
moment they were dazed. Many OF
them not knowing what had happened
and fearing that the building, which
is an eight story structure, was falling
made rush for the door, Mr. Rush
ton among them. The roar of the
explosion brought the tenants on Ell
floors to their feet and a general rush
was made to the elevators and the
stairways. AS the excited peeps
came out there was rush from the
street to rescue those who it was
thought had been caught in the ex
plosion. In the meantime an alarm q
fire was sent in and firemen was

no fire in the place the fremen ant

The Marine Cowboy

Cattleboating in England is rapidly
becoming the summer outing which
nowadays finds favor with the colleg-
ian. From early spring of the pre-
sent year shipping agents along the
Atlantic seaboard were deluged with
applications from the colleges for
positions as cattlemen. Every craft
which in June put out of Montreal,
Boston, New York or PHILADELPHIA
with shifty cargo of steers, for the
British market carried a delegation Of
highly educated youths to attend to
the wants of the long horns. Reser-
vations In the forecastel became al
most as common as in the first cabin
area. The romance in the idea of DON
ming corduroys and playing master to
wild western bulocks may be cited as
part of the motive for the appearance
OF numbers of collegians in the cattle
pens tween decks. Then, too, for
many it was the beef route alone
