Growth OF X-crtern Cities.


Apropos OF the mushroom growth of
new towns on the western frontier a
locomotive engineer relates the follow
ing:
"One day l was driving my engine
across the prairie when suddenly a
considerable town loomed up ahead
where nothing had shown up the day
before.
"'What towns this? says I to my
fireman.
Blamed if I know says Bill. 1T
wasn't here when we went over the
road yesterday
"Well, l slowed down, and directly
we pulled into the station, where over
800 people were waiting on the plat
form to see the first train come in.
"The conductor came along up front
and says to me:
Jim, first we know we'll be run
ming by some important place. Get
this town down on YOUR list. and I'll
put a brakeman out on the rear plat.
form to watch out for towns that
spring up after the train gets by'"-

TIlernlity Of Firecrnclxers.

The reported determination of the
municipal authorities to compel cessa-
tion of the manufacture of excessively
powerful and noisy fireworks in this
city viii doubtless be commended by
many as striking at the root of a seri-
GUS evil. though it may not prove to be
effective for its entire abatement. and
it certainly suggests some interesting
questions concerning the consistency
and fidelity with which some of our
laws are administered. 1t will proba
bly, be possible for the authorities to
prevent the manufacture Of the objec
tionable goods within the city limits,
always provided tie law invests them
with TIE power II do So But they
may not frl it altogether easy to ex-
plain why t. g should forbid the manu-
facture here Of goods intended for use
elsewhere or TO prevent the introduc-
ton into this city Of similar goods
manufactured elsewhere. - New York

STABBED WIFE IN BED
Frank Smith, of Easton, Then At
tempted Suicide.

Frank Smith, of Easton, Then At
tempted Suicide.
Easton, Pa, Jan. Crank Smith
son Of City Controller Chester Smith,
murdered his wife and then attemped
to commit suicide Smith and his wife
had been separated for some time. The
husband forced admission to the house
occupied by his wife and her sister.
After securing a carving knife Smith
stole to the room occupied by the two
sleeping women and plunged the weap-
on into his wife's heart, killing her
instantly. Smith left the house and
going to his fathers residence, several
blocks away, told him of the crime he
had committed. The startling infor-
nation unnerved the father and before
he could regain his composure the son
attempted to kill himself by gashing
his throat and abdomen.
The physicians say that Smith will
recover.
He charged his wife with infidelity
and this is the only known cause for
the tragedy.
Mrs. Smith was about twenty-five
years Of age and her husband is about
the same age.

EXPLOSIONS IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK. Jan. i4-Ten persons

ally wrecked a six-story building in
East Sixty-fourth street. The injured
wero removed to Folwer Hospital.
The bombs were planted in the cell
lar of the tenement and exploded one
after another in quick succession. The
explosion threw the occupants Of the
tenement into a panic, and there was
much excitement among the patients
and nurses Of Flower Hospital, which
Is only a short distance away
The first explosion occurred directly
under the front windows Of the tene-
ment. the second. in the cellar, was
directly under the hail stairs. which
wrecked the woodwork for several
flights, and the third bomb exploded
directly under the sleeping apartments
of Andrew Acouario. who lived with
his family on the first floor.
There are a number Of Italian fami-
lies among the tenants In the house,

Charges of cowardiee
The startling charge that cowardice
on the part Of some Of the few men in
the audience was chiefly responsible
for the great loss of life is made to-
day by Reuben w. Stover. one Of the
men who escaped by dropping from a
window Of the Opera House.
Il fully realize" said Stover, that
once that mad rush for the exits was
started no earthly power could have
prevented a serious loss of life, but
am equally certain that If the men had
not lost their heads and Joined in the
frenzied dash for safety a number Of
little tots whose lives we're trampled
out might have been saved.
"One of the most unfortunate fea-
lures of the disaster was the fact that
when the explosion of the gas tank oc-
Cured there were at least thirty boys
and girls on the stage. The explosion
which in itself was not enough to have
worked any great havoc. terrified these
children and their alarm was apparent
to everyone in the house. The chief
panic was among those on the lower
floor who had heard the explosion,
witnessed the terror Of the children.
but could not tell the extent Of the
damage done. AS soon as the children
on the stage saw the people rush for
the doors. they leaped over the stage
into the human maelstrom. Their ac-
ton made even the cooler heads break
for the doors. 1t was little boy who
attempted to jump over the footlights,
stumbled and fell. who kicked over the
FIRST of the kerosene lamps. Almost
Instantly the front of the stage was a
bed of fire, the oil spreading rapidly.
"The sound within the little hall Is
beyond description. Children shrieked,
men cursed and women prayed and
lmoaned Above II all rose the fierce
lcrackle of the flames as the stage door
was opened and some of those behind
the scenes attempted to escape that
way
In an instant the narrow passage
way was jammed so that exit was IN
possible. I saw women with babies in
their arms fight for a moment to get
out and then. turning. coddling their
little ones close in the arms, fight for
1.-THE little air in the hot furnace. A
number Of these persons realized that
death was inevitable and took the last
opportunity they had to devote tc
prayer"
The position Of many of the bodies
found to-day proves Stover's state
