Work of Incendiary.

NEW YORK September 22-One man
was perhaps mortally injured by jumping
from third-story window. several others
were rescued by a human chain of po-
licemen from foorless fire escapes. hum
dreds of jewellers in the neiShborhood
were routed out of bed and more than
two hundred pistol shots were fired dur
ing the excitement as a result of an in
cendiary fire at 1913 East 18th street,
four-story tenement. today, the second
in the building within week.
Nicholo Devito, the injured man, is
forty-eight years old and a cripple. He
is in the Harlem Hospital with internal
injuries, several broken ribs and broken
nose
The fire is believed to have been started
by friends of several men now doing
time for disturbance created some time
ago in the saloon on the ground floor of
the building.
Dwellers in the Tenement.
Carlos Cangro, who owns the saloon
and has charge of the entire house, lives
with his brother. Giovanni. on the second
floor of the building. A young woman,
Florence Delmore, also has an apartment
on this floor.
On the third floor Manuelo Chiestra,
Tony Panso and Devito. the crippled man,
had rooms. When Carlos Cangro was
aroused by smoke he made a jump for
the hallway, only to find the stairs burn
ing and escape that way cut off. He
aroused occupants of the two adjoining
tenementS.
In lieu of a fire alarm, pistols were
popping from dozens of windows in the
neighborhood. Lieut. John S. Coyle and
Policemen Tierney and Isaac Kahn sprint
ed for the place.
The policemen found, when they arrived,
that they could not get in the front way.
and reached the rear fire escapes to find
the panic-stricken tenants about the
openings, some preparing to jump.
Police Form Human Chain.
Patrolman Tierney was boosted up to
the first-floor escape by his companions.
and let down the ladder. The policeman
found some of the tenants afraid to de-
scend and began to hand them down
through the openings to fellow-policemen
below until all were safe.
The Delmore woman did not wait, but
jumped into Patrolman kahns arms from
the first-foor escape landing and escaped
injury.
Tony Panso. finding the fire escape in
the rear crowded, ran to the front and
jumped from the first-floor window. He
limped off unhnrt. AT this juncture
Nicholo Devito hobbled to the third history
window in the rear and jumped. He
struck the second-fioor railing of the fire
escape, bounding off into the yard, and
was picked up unconscious and hurried
to the hospital, where it was said he
would probably die.

CENSUS OF VETERANS
 IS GRADUALLY MADE

The census of Confederate veterans through the off1ces of the County Tax Assessors of the state, Is being slowly but surely made. The Assessors of two counties, Chamber and Clarke. made returns yesterday to- pr. Thomas M. Owen, Director of the Department of Archives and History. which is aa- senbiing the census reports for pres ervation. The two counties make the total of those which have reported nine.
 The census of Chambers shows the county to contain 20s veterans. ana Clarke is reported to contain 1s2 The only unusual feature of the reports was that each census contained the names of several unusually old mon. Both the reports. Dr. Owen said yester- day. were we'll done and decidedly sat- Isfactory.
 While the Department of Archives and History is anxious to collect the census as rapidly as possible. the Di- rector said he would prefer that the Assessors take as much time as was necessary to make full and detailed reports. so that every veterans name may be enrolled.

GAVE UP WORK BECAUSE OF
 HIS WEAKENED CONDITION

Mfr. EarI Mccoy. living at 1906 So. Branson Street, Marion, Ind, has pass ed through an experience that is being duplicated every day in every town and city of any consequence in the United States. It furnishes abundant proof of the correctness of l.. T.. Cooper's theory in regard to the de- generacy of the human stomach. and shows conclusively the merit possessed by his New Discovery medicine to re- store the weakened system to full strength and vigor.
 Mir. Mccoy says: For a long time I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble. was unable to retain any food, and became so weak and run down that I was compelled to stop work. My system was nearly wreck. and l had tried so many remedies and spent so much money without deriving any benefit, that l became discouraged

LITTLE GAIN
 IN TAG SALES Commercial Fertilizers Have Small Increase. DEPARTMENTS ANNUAL REPORT Advance for Season Less Than
 5000 Tons. statistics Complied from Records show Such Small Assrandisement as
 to Indicate Acreage Y
 Not Extended.
DEPARTMENTS ANNUAL REPORT

The sale of commercial fertilizer tags by the Department of Agriculture. and Industries. which yesterday made an informal report for the press, during the year 1so7-ls0s., is so slightly great CT than the sale for the sesson of 1s06- 1907. as to indicate almost beyond doubt that the acreage of cultivation in the State has not been increased.
 The 4470 tons which make the differ ence between the sales of the two sea. sons are believed to be utilized alto- getber for an intensihcation rather an extension of farming operations.
 The sale of the tags as recorded by the department is an accurate means of ascertaining the degree to which commercial fertilizers are utilized in the making of crops and the figures showing the movement of the products are of importance to both growers and handlers of not only cotton but other staples raised in Alabama.
 Tn the season of 1s07-190s the num- Der of tons of fertilizers sold was SI1.33s. an increase of 4,470 tons over the sales in the season of 1a06-1907. which were s06.se3. an increase of but little more than i per cent.
 Various reasons for the small ad- vancement of sales have been given. the best being probably that the de- precision of the money market and the subsequent depreciation of crop prices has made 1t impossible in some cases. inexpedient in many cases, for planters to buy materials to help them in mak- ing the ground yield its best.
 The gradual growth of the intensive Vystem of cultivation is believed to be ufiicient to account easily for what
 yer majority of tons this season has
