The January Smart Set contains an
excellent novelette, from the pen OF
Anne Warner and a delightful short
story with color and flavor pecu-
liarly acceptable to the literary palate
of Richmond people from an adept in
the art OF short story telling. Mr.tJehn
Regnault Ellyson, of this city. The
story is called Ills Silent Partners"
and concerns itself with the fortunes
OF Paul Grattan. bookseller and col
lector. who had a small shop on Mar
shall street. where his Valuable stock
was indiffercntly displayed. Paul
Grattan's Silent Partners are en-
bodied in an eccentric but kindly old
gentleman. to whom he rents a room,
and a lovely young woman who lives
on Hermitage Road and who becomes
his active partner by marriage. The
charm of the story lies In the manner
of its narration. III the pictured atmos-
phere of the dim, quiet shop on Mar
shall Street, which Paul Grattan learns
to love; In the compnnionship OF the
Silent Partners; In the advance upon
the scene OF the graceful figure that
transforms dinginess into beauty by
its power, and In the train of deftly
woven incident that brings the story
to its appointed climax and conclusion.
Mr.. Ellyson's friends and the public
generally have already passed most
favorable criticism on this story,
which has excited widespread remark
to its authors credit.

wharton, N.

The killed are: Joseph Hough. one of the officials of tue company; David Utter. James Kew efn, workmen.
 The small building. in which the mon were at work, was demolished and the men were blown to pieces.
 A Delaware Lackawanna and West ern express train was passing the pow der works at the time of the explosion. Every window on one side of the train was broken. several passengers were severely cut by flying glass and many others were slightly hurt. The passen- gers were thrown into a panic, and 1t was some time after the danger was passed before the trainmen could suc- ceed in allaying their fears. Most of the injured were able to continue their Journey after a new train of parlor ears had been made up at stroudsburg. Three of them, however, were so se- vereiy hurt that they stopped of at washington. N J., for medical attend ance.
