the Joy Of throwing, but the delight in
seeing somebody pick the stun up.
Babies certainly seem to take a fiend-
ish delight In watching their fathers

toys and other things which they
throw out Of their beds, carriages and

TWENTY BODIES

Premature Explosion of Dynamite in
Stone Quarry.

Albany, y. Y. especially At least
20 men were killed by a premature
blast of dynamite in a stone quarry
operated by the Catalan Road I'M
.provement Company, near South
Bethlehem, IL miles southwest Of
Albany.
One thousand pounds of dynamite
exploded, and the bodies of the vic
Tins were hurled hundreds OF feet
by the concussion and so badly mutt
lated as to be almost beyond recog-
milton. AS darkness was falling a
wagon drew up to the enginehouSe
loaded with bodies that had been
picked up back on the quarry hill.
A crowd os griefstr.cken relatives
gathered around eager to identify
the dead. only TO turn away at the
sickening sight.
Italians with shovels found here
and there portions of bodies and
brought their gTuesome loads in box
eS to the enginehouse, which served
as a temporary mOrgue.
The CALLAHAN Road Improvement
Company furnished crushed stone for
road building. The preparations for
the days blast had been going on
for six weeks. Thirteen holes, 75
feet deep. had been drilled at points
about 20 feet back of the face of the
big quarry, and the explosion of the
dynamite with which they were to
be loaded was expected to displace
10000 tons of rock
Over 5000 pounds of dynamite
were TO have been used. The work
men had placed 5O0-pound charges
in six OF the holes and were work

where Charlie Taft underwent z
slight operation on his throat She
was with him for several hours. She
then started with the President and

ors from the Cincinnati College OF
Music. For seven years she was

pitality and unusual powers of intel

pecially well fitted for presiding al
social gatherings. while wide famili.
artty with the customs of many coun.
tries puts her at ease in any diplo.
matte circle.
Mrs. Taft is a daughter of John w
Heron, of Cincinnati. and her mar
riage to Mr.. Taft took place in Juns
