VAST DEBT OF THE CITIES.
Municipal Obligations Greater Than
Those Of Government and States.

noS0 OF government anu StAtee.
The municipal debts Of the coun-
try are approximately $3.50, 900 900
a sum larger than Is owed by the fed
eral government and all the State gov
ernments. OF the total 1t Is worth
while to note New York contributes.
when all sinking fund deductions are
made, about one-fourth.
The increasing habit OF American
cities to mortgage the future is one
OF the marked governmental tenden-
cies OF the times. Although a marked
improvement has taken place in the
quantity OF municipal governments.
whatever the other good faults. there
is seemingly no disposition to lessen
the public burden. The theory seem.
ingly is that municipal resources are
practically unlimited For a public
servant to have prejudice against debt
creation. is considered proof that he
is an old fogy.
The greater part Of city debts repre-
sent money put into buildings, streets,
parks. etc. and no small part to meet
administrative deficits In view OF the
size of these debts and the little the
public has received from their crea-
ton there cannot be kept back feel
ing Of gratitude that the prudence OF
the last generation put into State con-
stitutions clauses limiting debt crea-
tion. Except for these clauses there
Is reason for fear, with extravaganza
and recklessness in the air as 1t Is

From Forces Of Concussion and Vic
Tins Bodies. Six Of Whom are
Ladies Lie Beneath Ruins.
Loss 5000, 900.


an explosion Of gas ten persons are
dead and valuable property is smok
ing mass Of ruins. The explosion oc-
CURED in the hsc-story building Of
the Natchez Drug Company and it
is believed to have followed an ac-
cumulation Of gas in the basement,
where, IT is stated, plumber was
making pipe connections.
Driven by a stiff wind, burning
brands we're carried into the resi-
dence section and, owing to the de-
lay occasioned by the entire fire de-
partment being occupied at the origi-
nal blaze, seven dwellings we're de-
stroyed.
Six Of the dead are women. five
of them young girls employed in the
laboratory Of the drug company.
Elias lioskins, carpenter, met
death while in flight from the top
ping building. He stumbled on the
sidewalk curbing an fell, breaking his
neck.
Following is list Of the dead:
Mrs. Tliza ketteringham.
Miss Luclla Booth, aged H.
Mis- Lizzie Worthy.
Miss Carrie Murray, aged Is.
Miss Inez Netterville. aged l6.
Miss Ada White.
Cleveland Laub, aged 25, single,
chemist.
Elias Hoskins, carpenter.
John Carkeet, undertaken, aged II.
Sam Burns, the plumber who, it is
stated, was working in the building,
has not been heard from, and it is
certain that he also was caught in the
wreckage.
The explosion came without a see
ond's warning and from what can be
learned IN the confusion attendat up
on the disaster, the full force of the
upheaval was directly beneath the
laboratory where the chemist, Mr..
Lamb, and seven women were at work
Only one of the women working in
this part of the building. Mrs. Mont
gomery, has been accounted for. and
she is suffering from severe shock
so that she is unable to give a clear
account of her experience.
The rear wall of the Natchcz Drug
Company's building was torn away
by the force of the explosion and the
mass of masonN fell directly on the
two adjoining brick buildings, crush
ing them like egg shells.
The loss to the Natchez Drug Com
pany is estimated at $4,000. on
which there is insurance of $4,000
Residences burned will foot up
about 100000, partially covered by
