An exchange says: How many per-
sons know what is liable to happen
when a pint of gasoline is left open in
a room? If the temperature is nor
NAL, the liquid will entirely evaporate
in "a hours. The vapor is heavier than
the air, and therefore sinks to the
level of the floor. Unless disturbed it
will remain there for hours and by
mixing with the air, forms an eXplo-
sive compound seven times as power
full as powder. One pint of gasoline
will make 200 cubic feet of this COM
pound. It is not necessary that a
lighted match come in contact with
it. A spark struck by nail in shoe
will explode it, or gas jet, or even
the enclos ed fire of kitchen stove.

MAY IMPEACH
JUDGE ARCHIBALD
Unanimous Vote TO Bring Pro-
ceedings Against Jurist.
IRREGULARITIES CHARGED
Senate Will Act as Court in Case OF
Accused Commerce Bench Member
Action Non-Partisan, but Report
Will Be Made After Next Week.

Washington-With not a dissenting
voice the House committee on judici-
airy voted to impeach Judge Robert
The action followed formal hearings
held for several weeks past in the
committees inquiry into charges pre-
ferred against the Judge.
1t was announced that the commit
tee vote to impeach Judge Archibald
was unanimous. The resolution for
impeachment had been pending for
some days.
The charges in effect accuse Judge
Archibald of protting pecupiarily
through trafficking with the power Of
his office and his influence with the
anthracite coal carrying railroads.
The judiciary committee recommen-
dation will be presented in the House
and, if adopted there. the House will
ask the Senate to institute the i'm
parchment trial.
That the committee had decided on
the action was indicated when an ac-
tive canvass was made of its members
to ascertain who would be willing to
act as prosecutors of the judge before
the Senate, Under the constitution
the House can have five managers in
the impeachment proceedings before
the Senate, which acts as a court.
In executive sessions recently held
the House committee considered the
reports of its subcommittees on vari-
Gus phases of the testimony taken in
the Archibald case. At the head of
these sub-committees We're Represen-
tatives Webb Floyd, Norris and Ster-
ling.
Alleged business transactions un-
dertaken by Judge Archibald through
his supposed partner, f. w. Williams,
with the officers of the Lehigh, the
Erie, the Delaware & Lackawanna and
other railroads to secure favored
treatment in the matter of leases of
coal refuse dumps figured in the com
mittee hearings.
Promissory notes given by or to
Judge Archibald from which, it was
said, he profted without assuming
liability for their payment, also fig
ured in the report of the committee
and We're said to form the basis of the
impeachment report recommendation
Friends of Judge Archibald said they
would oppose the impeachment resolu-
ton on the grounds, that these finan-
cial transactions were legal, and that
the testimony that the judge was to
profit personally was indirect and
from unreliable witnesses.

ure Seekefs-Eieht Bodies Recov-

Buffalo-Nearly score Of persons
were drowned and many injured,
when a fifty-foot pier at Eagle Park,
Grand Island, Niagara River, collapsed
under the weight of $50 people, throw
ing them into twelve feet of water. Up
to midnight eight bodies have been
recovered, of whom six have been
identified
The steamer Henry Koerber had
just warped into the pier to take on
a load of returning pleasure seekers.
The pier was crowded with people
and more were coming down from the
grove above. The gang planks were
thrown out and the section of the
crowd nearest to the steamer began
to move forward. Captain Fix on
board called out to them to move slow
ly. The words were no more than out
of his mouth when the centre of the
pier, half way between the place
where the boat was tied up and tho
shore end, sank with a crash.
The planking held fast to the tim
bers on both sides of the pier, forming
d
struggling mass of people were
thrown Many were caught in the
wreckage of the pier, but fully one
hundred and fifty went into the water.
which, beneath the dock, was from
ten to twelve feet in depth with a
current of about ten miles an hour.
The wreckage of the pier served to

but several who fell clear of it began
to doat away.
Rowboats and motor boats were
pressed into service, and some Of
these were rescued. 1t is certain, how
ever that in addition to the bodies res
cued in the vicinity of the pier many
were swept away, and it will be some
time before their identity can be es-
tablished.
Supervisor Henry Lieb, who was in
the centre of the throng that went
down, was rescued after being in the
water for more than thirty minutes.
Il believe that over twenty lives
were lost" said Mr.. Lieb. There
were fully $50 people on the dock and
with it. There was but little warning
before the crash came The dock
trembled slightly, and thought it was
caused by the steamer coming in
closer. But a second later we went
down.
Il swan clear of the jam and got
hold of a spile, but owing to my
weight | was unable to hold on there
very long. Some one dropped rope
through the opening and helped me
over to the side where | could get a
better hold. | then fastened the rope
around the waist of a woman, who
was drawn up on the dock"
