WRECK BUILDINGS
Pittsburg Italians Homes
Were Dynamited.

Pittsburg. Pa. May 10.-Two build
ings were wrecked and forty persons
narrowly escaped a horrible death az
the result OF the dynamiting of the
home Of Antonio Sisca. in Sharpsburg
early this morning. The explosion Of
the dynamite rocked the Sisca home
almost from its foundation. Sisca. his
wife and sons, Jurado and Lewis were
thrown from their beds and slightly
hurt. The side of the house was cav
ed In and the interior badly damaged.
The National hotel across the alley
from the Sisca home was rocked by
the detonation Of the explosion and
thirty.six persons asleep within were
thrown violently from their beds.
The attempt to wipe out the Sisca
family is believed to be due to Sisca's
refusal to comply with demand to
leave $4,000 in a lonely spot for the
Black Hand society. He received q
letter demanding the money about a
week ago. When the money was not
forthcoming second letter was re.
ceived by him. threatening to kill his
family unless he obeyed. Sisca is the
wealthiest Italian in Sharpsburg. He
is engaged in the real estate and fruit
business.

After the state had introduced the
testimony of half a dozen witnesses
the case was postponed until wednes

Wednesday. None of the witnesses

Rev. Lightbourne Advises
Greater Efficiency in Ad-
ministrations in Address to
Earlham Students.
IMPROVE MORAL AND
COMMERCIAL TONES
Mediocre Officials Entirely
Too Common He Says
Remarks General and Not
Critical of Richmond.

In an address to Earlham students
on Tuesday. the Rev. Lightbourne,
pastor of the st. Paul's Episcopal
church. declared that the best men of
any town should come forward and
accept the public offices. as members
Of the city council. school board, or
other offices IA mayor. clerk, and
controller. 1T would be a great sac
rifice." he continued. THE positions
are thankless ones. and place man
IN q position for free criticism"
The Rev. Mr.. Lightbourne urged the
Earlham students. that II ever the op
portunity came to them, to accept
public offices. they should do It, and
M; the offices with credit to the com.
munity. He said that too often the
men holding public offices do SO for
their own and not for the benefit oi
the community.
III the best men OF the community
held the municipal offices, there
would be u better moral and CONNER
cial tone." he said.
The rector said his words were not
to be construed AZ referring to local
conditions. for not living In Richmond
long he could not say rs to the per
sonality Of the local corps Of officials
Too Many Poor Officials.
'The mediocre city official Is toe

affairs. Men to be entrusted with the
public money sholud have been sue
cessful In their private affairs. Men
to hold the public positions OF trust
should be the best business men oi
the town. They should be the frs,
men Of the community" he said.
What he said. the Rev. Mr.. Light
bourne declared, had been learned
from experience and travel through
out the United States. He has fount
that In the majority Of cities the cit,
officials are not OF the highest typs
Of man. morally. or commercially.
He concluded by stating. "Americs
wants her best men to fill her posi-
tions OF trust. and her best mer
should be willing to accept such po
sitions and 30 raise the moral tone o
our cities and towns. II Is thank
less undertaking and requires an un
limited amount Of patience and for
bearance."
The rector does not confine all hi
attention to the church, but he Is I
man who thinks deeply along the lint
Of the public welfare. He has thu

Boston, Ind, May 1O-The entire
town of Boston was threatened with
destruction by fire this morning when
a stiff wind famed the flames which
destroyed the house of Joseph Pyle. a
blacksmith. setting fire to three other
houses and two barns. The situation
became alarming as the ares assum-
ed dangerous proportions, and 1t was
only by the most heroic work that the
flames on the other Ave structures
were extinguished, and the fire kept
from spreading.
A half dozen chemical fire extin-
guishers which the town had purchas-
ed a number of years ago for use in
emergency, were found useless when
and attempt was made to press them
into service. Proper care had not been
given them.
Great excitement prevailed among
the citizens. Mrs. Anna Overholster
sister of Joseph Pyle who resides
across the street from the home OF
her brother, collapsed from nervous
prostration and is in somewhat pre-
carious condition. She is under medi
cal care.
The home of Joseph Pyle was total
ly destroyed, but a large portion 81
the household effects were saved. The
loss is estimated at $1,000. This !.
only partially covered by insurance K
the amount of $3.50. A large amoun
of lumber which Pyle had stored
about his house for use in remodelin,
the structure in the near future wal
destroyed by the flames.
The fire originated from a sparl
dropping on the roof and was discov
cred about 1880 o'clock in the morn
ing. An alarm was sounded and TIL,
citizens generally resopnded to tn
call. The flames had secured goos
headway and the fire spread rapidly
Soon tongues Of flame were leapini
about three adjoining houses and two
barns. AS it was plainly evident tina
the Pyle house was doomed to de
struction all efforts were directe,
towards the other burning building
and strenuous work soon resulted II

Al. C. Fields Best.

Al. q. Fields Best.
Before a huge audience in the after
noon and literally a sold-out house al
night, the AL. G. Fields Minstrels gave
yesterday the most screamingly funny
performance that have ever witnessed
by this organization. And this. too
In spite of the fact that this old young
minstrel of some twenty-five years OF
fame is not working himself. In HE
stead we had Burt Swor (for years
IN musical comedy. John Healy. Doc
Quigley and Gov. Bowen. besides an
unusually clever entertainer named
Nick Glynn. with his pockets full OF
musical oddities; chorus of ringing
power. several men whose solo work
delighted the big audiences. and lots
of new and laughable gags.
This man Healy grows more absurd
each season. every year the chronic
theatre-goers, who have known his
peculiar style for many a day, almost
yell their JOY at the utter fooilshness
of him. Doc Quigley and Gov. Bowen
are as clever and funny as ever. and
Burt Swor is a more than valuable ad-
dition to Mr., Fields company. He
has sort of monoiogue during one
of the changes in which he does a dia-
logue between a darkey, who ribs him
self up with Swift and Easton" gun,
and his girl that made even the top
gallery shout It's approval.
The scenic surprises" and "transfor-
nations" were wonderfully pretty; the
chorus sang. as has been mentioned.
with ringing power. In spite of the
fact that 1t does not as yet sing alto
gether as e unit. The soprano, Her
bert Wilson. and first tenor. Walter
Sherwood, who stood together, in par
tfcular. had unpleasant trick of
he 81 fra or
a beat too soon. but this is doubtless
hypercritical. and, besides, will be cor
rected after the organiza ton has been
together little longer. And, besides
again, the audience went crazy about
the singing of both OF these men, SO
possibly. they should be allowed some
little liberties. and their voices are re.
markable. whether every semi musician
likes them or not. Jack Richards and
Jack King Altman also sang their way
into the heart of the house But the
man to whom chorus singers SHOULD
bow Is the steady warehouse OF sec
ond bass, who stands on the right end,
looking from the house, and sings con-
sistently and conscientiously through
the performance, and runs down any
where he pleases. with ease and abso-
lutte certainty. holding down the rest
OF the chorus, which stands on its toes
when an opportunity of volume Is of
fered The interlocutor has a good
voice and reads his few lines pleas
ingly. but it is respectfully suggested
that. as he Is made up without the
black face. he do not say you was"
and, further. that he do not. in the rest
OF the tour through the South. speak
of negro servant girl as this young
lady"
But enough OF Criticism: the show
is absurdly clever and amusing-that
ball game In itself is worth seeing sew
eral times-and who wants half way
technical criticism of a minstrel per-
Torrance anyhow? w. D. c.
