AWFUL RESULTS OF
A GAS EXPLOSION
More than a Score Killed and Half
a Hundred Wounded in
Memphis
CAssOciated Press)

Memphis, Tenn, jan 24-Possibly
a score Of persons were killed and
fifty or more were injured as a result
cf the exposition of tank car OF
gasoline here today. which set fire to
row of small dwellings occupied
mostly by negroes, a number of whom
are missing and it is believed were
burned to death.
Early police estimates place the
number of dead as high as twenty-five,
while hospital reports indicated at
least fifty were given treatment for
broken limbs and other injuries.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined but fire department
officials believe it was due TO a flying
spark from the chisel of a workman
caulking the car. The scene of "the
explosion, at Main street and Mill ave-
Inue, is the center of densely popu-
lated part of the city and short dis
tance. from the gas plant, which was
endangered by the fire which spread
rapidly.
Twenty frame houses were literally
splintered by the force of the explo-
sion and set on fire, while windows
within a radius of fifteen blocks were
broken. Two of the three negro work
men caulking the car were killed,
while the third escaped without in
jury.
Every ambulance in the city was
rushed to the scene and volunteer res
cue parties formed to aid the police in
removing the dead and injured.
The fire was brought under control
before it had spread beyond the dwell
ings in the immediate vicinity of the
eXploSion.

RemorsefuI Ghost.

A pathetic story is told Of the ghost
Of Bisham abbey. 1t is said that the
wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was un-
naturally severe with her son. who. IL
seems, had a peculiar aversion to writ
ing, and in his obstinacy would wilful-
ly blot his copybooks.. One day his
mother. enraged at his peryerseness.
lost her self-control and beat the poor
boy so numerically that he died from
his injuries. Since then one OF the
bedrooms in the abbey has been haunt
ed by the specter Of the cruel woman,
who glldes through the chamber in the
act OF washing the bloodstains from
her hands
II is stated that. some years ago,
when an old window shutter of the six
teenth century was removed, "a packet
Of antique copybooks of that period
was discovered pushed into the wal
between the joists of the skirting, and
several Of these books, on which young
Hobby's name was written, were GOV

BUSY DAY IN COURT

Judge Futch's court was a busy
place this morning, four cases coming
before his honor.
Samuel Smith, colored. was respon-
sible for two, and his desire to make
tainted money out of whisky was re-
sponsible for both. One case cost him
a hundred and costs, and the other
three months hard labor. Consider
able of a setback for Sam.
The third was Mary Nichols, color
ed, who swiped dress out of quail
ity lady's house. Mary was bound
over in $500 to the grand jury and
will probably work out the price of
several dresses for the state.
The fourth was William Glover
colored, stealing a ride on train. He
was given three months, in which time
he could walk across the United
States.

Wild sheep live in small fiocks In

BAD TREATMENT
OF A COLORED BOY

As Mr.. A G. MacKay of Morriston,
brother of Mrs. E A. Osborne, was
going home from Ocala Saturday aft
ernoon, he found John Taylor, eolored,
aged about IA years. lying on the
roadside near a saddle. The first
thought was that ne had been thrown
from his horse, but on examining the
boy Mr.. MacKay found that it was
evidently foul play. He left the boy
IN care of friends and secured a doc
tor from Morriston, who after exam
ing Taylor found he had been shot.
he was brought to 0cala and is now
at the eolored hospital. Dr. Peek says
he was shot IN the hack of his head.
The boy and his father have worked
for Mr.. Osborne for years and are
good negroes. The boy was sent on
an errand to Morriston, from his
home at Blitchton. The boy, who re-
gained consciousness, said that sew
eral white boys came up to him while
he was riding along on his pony and
asked him how fast he could ride and
becoming frightened at the sight Of
the pistols, the boy whipped his horse,
and as he was riding away he was
fired upon and struck in the back of
the head. His chances for recovery
are poor.
The officers have taken the matter
in hand and are searching for the
perpetrators of this cruel outrage.

House of 1000 Rooms.

A maze which forms o happy hunt
ing ground for robbers, is the house
formerly occupied by the ministry of
war in Vienna. says a correspondent.
The great size of the thousand rOOmed
house evidently attracts the attention
of thieves and the military and police
seem unable TO keep them out. Or
naments, pictures. typewriters, every
thing and anything. even to the door
knobs and knockers are constantly be-
ing carried away. When a thief in
the course of his wanderings, meets
anyone, he simply pretends to have
come on business. and goes on until he
comes to an unoccupied room, there
he quickly gathers together anything
he can lay his hands on, and departs.
In many cases the robbers have an
accomplice in the street to whom ar
ticles are thrown from the window.

Movie Tbesters In Rio.

It is at the cinema theaters that
the Cariocas (citizens Of Rio de ia
neiro) know real comfort; for, un-
like our moving-picture houses,
those in Rio have spacious waiting
rooms, where you sit, listening TO ex-
cellent music, until the hour for the
first reel comes round. The pioneer
house Of the kind inaugurated this
custom, and now the people refuse TO
stand outside waiting for the even
hour 70 arrive or TO enter after the
film has started. With so much profit

MEETING OF THE
wOMAN'S CLUB

Conservation was the subject of
Saturdays meeting of the Woman's
Club, with Mrs. weihe, chairman of
parks and driveways, IN chsrge Of the
program. She made a short report of
the splendid work which she and her
co-workers. Mrs Walter Hood and
Mrs. Emily Green, had accomplished
during the past year in the improve
ment of Tuscawilla Park
Then Mrs. Tydings offered resOlu-
ton to be sent to our representatives
In Congress. urging that our national
parks throughout the country be pre-
served in all their natural beauty,
conserving the forest growth and
waterways, and saving them from
commercial greed of every kind. This
resolution was heartily endorsed.
Mrs. Tydings also read a paper on
good roads, which gave much inter
esting information to her hearers.
For the years 1920 and 1921 she re-
ported that 100000 900 had been APP
propriated for good roads in the
South alone.
Mrs. Weihe next introduced DIR.
Creson, who spoke on parks, play
grounds and especially on landscape
gardening He said the latter was
rot a new art, but had its beginning
in the early geometrical gardening Of
the Egyptians. He traced its prac-
tice among the Assyrians and Per
slams, later among the Russians and
in modern times noted a marked
change in the adoption of the English
method, which abandoned the formal
geometric planting and preserved the
beauties of the natural landscape. He
mentioned the parks and Fairgrounds
of many American cities, among them
New York city. Boston, Baltimore
Chicago and st. Paul. He thought
that in Ocala there was no need fol
large park, but advocated the con-
verting of the many vacant lots thru.
out the town into beautiful park
places.
Mr.. Chas. w Hunter, our newly
elected representative, spoke on the
reforestation of Florida and urged the
Woman's Club of Ocala to endorse {
hill which he expects to present at the
next session of the legislature.
A song by Miss Pearl Fausett, &C
Icompanied by Miss Dorothy Lancas

bers on the program.

ESTIMATE INCREASES

Ten bodies mutilated beyond recog-

the explosion, and while the latest
police estimates place the number OF
deaths at twenty-five, it is believed
this number will be increased when a
complete check has been made. The
first bodies found were four negro
women and one negro baby. The
.other bodies were scattered over a
block.
Many of the fifty injured were Sc
riously hurt. One of the injured, an

India's Fertility.

India, more than half the size of
Europe, has every variety OF surface,
climate and production. The contrast
between the level monotOny Of the
Great plain and the beautiful con-
tours of the AIilgiri and Pulney hills
is no greater than that between the
arid heat of Jacobabad and the polar
frigidity of the Himalayas; or that
between the palm groves of Cochin and
the wheat fields Of Lyallpur. The pro-
ductivity of India extends over three
zones: the tropical. sub-tropical, and
temperate; though on account Of vary
ing elevations these do not always
comply with mere considerations OF
