rs LOST IN GAS EXPLOSION.
Fire Following Blast at Hamburg
Does Millions Damage.

The explosion of two gas tanks in
the %so-called "Kleine's Grasbrook," on
the Elbe front, in Hamburg, Germany,
was followed by an extensive fire and
the loss of many lives. The explo-
sion was due to a leak in a new gaso-
meter. Escaping gas entered the re-
tort house, where 1t came in contact
with the fires, causing a terrific explo-
sion. twenty-five of the workmen who
were employed near the gasometer dis
appeared in a mass of flames which
shot up to a great height. Firemen
could do but little. Nineteen lives are
known to have been lost, while four
teen other workmen are missing. The
fire gained rapidly and threatened the
old gasometer, containing $4,000 cubic
meters. A terrific explosion soon &C.
Cured and the tower became a mass Of
flames, which leaped hundreds of feet
in the air, sending fragments of glow
ing coke far and wide wei the city
and harbor. The new gasometer which
exploded was the largest in the world,
having a capacity of 100000 cubic me-
tiers. The city appropriated $4,000, 900
marks S3.5oo. O0o) for its construc-
ton.

An old Irishwoman, who kept a fruit
stall, had some melons exposed for
sale. The Yankee, wishing to have
some fun with the old lady, took up
one of them and said:
These are small apples you grow
over here. In America we have them
twice the size"
The woman slowly looked up at him
and In a tone OF pity exclaimed:

DATA ON POSTAL BANKS.
Comptroller Shows Growth of Such
Repositories in Foreign Countries.

In the annual report Of Comptroller
or the Currency, Lawrence O.. Murray,
there is a comprehensive table of the
growth of postal savings banks the
world over which serves to emphasize
the need for such banks in the United
States. The table shows that thirty
four countries or colonies nave such
and that, during the last dec
ade, the number of depositors in these
banks have increased from 2O,1S2,SS7
to 4O,320,3O3, or nearly 100 per cent,
while during the same period the de-
posts have increased from $1,13S,411,-
944 to s1,9S9, 299, S15, or approximately
Is per cent. During the decade the
average deposit of each depostor has
fallen from S56.41 to S49.s3. While
the number of depositors in postal
savings banks is AZ per cent of the
number of depositors in all foreign
savings banks, the deposits are only
about 20 per cent Of the total deposits
In such banks.
In the thirty-four countries and de-
tendencies having postal savings
banks, the united kingdom leads in
the number of depositors and amount
of deposits-that is, 11,01S,251 and
1871, 794 1913, respectively. In Japan
there are S,013,193 depostors; in TIA
ly, 5,1OS, SOP; France, 5,O34,99S; Bel
GUM, 2,1O6,237; Austria, 2,064,4O3;
Russia, 1,7Ss,990; Netherlands, 1,4O1,-
$40. and British India, 1,262,763. Ca
madam postal savings banks have but
1885 depositors, but their deposits
amount to S45,190,4S4, making
the average deposit account $2S9.S 8
by far the largest average account in
postal savings banks in any country.
The report shows $4,000 banks with
an excess of $4,000, 900 deposit &C
counts, capital aggregating ~$1,S55,9S7,-
36S and individual deposits of more
than $40 100000.

NEGRO HIT.
New Evidence Said to Fix Guilt Con-
clusively in Brownsville Case.

That the shooting up" of Browns
VILE, Texas, was done by members of
the Twenty-tifth Infantry, colored,
who were in the fort at the time their
companions were running through the
streets of the town, firing right and
left, is said to be proved c~onclusively
by evidence. now in possession of the
military court of inquiry into that IA
mou case. None of the members of
the court would discuss the matter,
but it is intimated hat a demand for
the abolition of the negro troops will
be made by the Southern delegations
III Congress. Thus the bitter debate
that marked the final days of the
Roosevelt administration threatens to
be renewed. The evidence discovered
by the officers who compose the court
is said to be susceptible of complete
proof. Certain members, it is report
ed, made personal examination of
buildings across tho road from the
tort in Brownsville. They discovered
bullet holes in the sides of three
houses. Continuing their investiga-
tons, they discovered the bullets,
which were of the regulation army
design. Following back the line of
fire, as shown by the track of the bull
lets, the marksmen could nave been
