Several Seriously Hurt
CAUSED BY JANITOR'S ACCIDENT
Employes Become Terror Stricken
t
nd Made a Mad Rush to Escape
Down n. Harrow Passage
Way.
A thousand girl clgarmakers In a i
Philadelphia factory were thrown Into
a panic by an elevator accident. In
their frantic efforts to get out of the
building, eight were killed and many i
eeriously hurt- Some Jumped from
high -windows, and others packed, a
narrow stairway, trampling to death i
those who were so unfortunate as to
fall.'
,A
PHILADELPHIA, April 30. An unfortu
nate accident to a deaf and dumb boy,
Isador Baccus, was today directly respon
sible for the death of eight girls and
young women, the fatal injury of three
others and the serious injury of more than
two score of girls employed in the cigar
factory of Harburger, Homan & Co., a
branch of the American Tobacco Com
pany, located at Tenth street and "Wash
ington avenue. The dead are:
JOHANNA GILLEY, aged 22.
MARY GENEVA, aged 15 years.
HELEN LOLINIA, aged 12.
ELIZABETH TARTINE, aged 12.
ANNIE ROSSCHNEIDER. aged 18. v
LOUISE DESEPI, aged 16.
IDA GREEN, aged IS.
ANNIE FORD, aged 13.
Those fatally injured are: Mary MesInofc
Injured internally, skull fractured: Joseph
ine Oronco, injured internally: unidenti
fied woman, fractured skull. The injuries
of the others consist mainly of bruises
about ibe body and fractured Jimbs.
The building in which the disaster oc
curred is a five-story brick structure, and
occupies an entire block. .Twelve hundred
persons were at work at the time of the
accident, 90 per cent of wlrom were girls
whose ages range from 12 years upward.
The trouble Degan on the fourth floor of
the structure. The elevator was at the
top of the shaft, and Baccus, janitor of
the building, pulled the rope to bring it
down. He opened the door leading to the
shaft and leaned forward to see where
the carriage was. As he did so. the ele
vator, which was descending slowly,
struck him across the back of the neck,
pinioning his head between the elevator
and the floor. A stock boy released Bac
cus and cried for help. The foreman
rushed from the building to call an am
bulance, and immediately there ensued a
panic among the employes. Some of the
younger girls fainted, while others, not
being able to control their feelings, cried
"Fire."
Mad Rash to Escape.
Instantly there was a mad rush, for the
stairway leading Into Tenth street. The
gins rushed down the narrow staircase
until they reached a bend in the exit be
tween the second and third floors. In
their eagerness to escape, the frightened
leadens fell. Others immediately following
trjpned over the struggling mass of hu
manity, and in less than a minute there
were hundred, of children and young
nomen struggling in the passage-way.
The shrieks and screams of terror-stricken
girls could be heard for a block or more.
During the excitement an alarm of Are
was turned In, but before the engines
could reach the scene, several of the oc
cupants of the building had rushed to the
windows and Jumped to the street, a dls
tance of over 50 feet. Helen Lolinia, one
of those who jumped, was almost instantly
killed.
When t,he firemen and policemen arrived,
every effbrt was made to guard the ter
rorized girlp. The firemen rushed up the
stairway and begged the girls to be calm,
telling them there was no danger, but the
sight of the firemen seemed only to add to
their terror. While the policemen and
firemen were endeavoring to quiet the girls
on the stairway, ladders were being run
up on the outside of the building, and the
employes who had climbed out on the fire
escape and window ledges were quickly
enabled to check the awful crush on the
stairway and then began the work of res
cuing those who had been trampled and
crushed between the second and third
floors. ,
The alarm for ambulances had been
turned in and as quick as the dead and
wounded could be carried fro mthe build
ing, they were hurried to hospitals. The
number of ambulances was entirely inad
equate, and patrol wagons were brought
into use to carry the victims 'away for
treatment.
While this was going on the scene about
the structure was heart-rending. Parents
and relatives of the unfortunate girls were
screaming and rushing about the streets
like mad, and it 'was almost impossible
for the policemen to restrain the mothers
end relatives of supposed victims from
entering the building.
-The work of rescuing the girls from the
windows was very tedious. They were so
excited that they did not seem to heed the
pleadings of the firemen. At nearly every
window of the huge structure were girls
crying for help.
The panic was over In less than half an
hour.

COAL MINERS' WAGE SCALE
Dispute Referred Bock to the Civic
Federation.
NEW YORK, April 30. After spending
two days In endeavoring .to arrive at a
settlement of their differences, the. oper
ators and representatives of the United
Mlneworkere of Amrlca, who were brought
togther by the good offices of the National
Civic Federation, have again referred
their troubles to the committee on con
ciliation of that body. When the commit
tee will meet for the purpose of .taking
the matter up had not up to a late hour
tonight been definitely settled, but the
probability Is that the meeting will take
place either Friday or Saturday of the
present week.
When the committee of operators and
representatives of the union adjourned
alne die, shortly after 4 o'clock this after
noon, a etatement was given out Vhich
left the general public as much at eea on
the situation as before the negotiations
began. Not a scrap of official or authen
tic Information was obtainable to show
what progress, if any, had been made
toward a settlement.
"'Our confiTence with the operators,"
said President Mitchell, "has been ended.
According to an arrangement with
the National Civic Federation, by
which the conference was appointed, we
are to "resort to that body at a meeting,
the date of which has not yet been deter
mined. Outside of this, I cannot say a
word for publication."
Every effort to obtain information,
either from the operators or miners who
have taken part in the conference, proved
futllo. The operators, however, seemed In
a happy frame of mind. Nor did the mln
er& seem in any degreedowncast, and the
cpnseusus of opinion nraong outsiders was
that some progress had been made toward
an amicable settlement.
AMALGAMATED STRISOS FUND.
Ironworkers Vote to Increase It to
flOO.OOO.
WHEELING, "W. Va., April 30. The
Amalgamated Association today disposed
of the report of the committee on consti
tution and general laws. Much discussion
was held over the proposed increase In' the
defense fund to J100.000. It Is now 525,000.'
The most prominent members of the assoj
elation favored the change, arguing thai
the last strike was lost necause the asso
ciation did not have sufficient funds to
carry on the battle. Every effort was
made by the association to keep Its action
on this, matter secret, and the press com
mittee refused to divulge anything con
cerning it. It Is learned, however, on
reliable authority that the resolution car
ried, and that steps will be taken at once
to put the association in a position to
carry on a strike for a year, should one
ver occur. The election of ofllc6rs will
be held tomorrow afternoon. There is. no
reason to doubt that President Shaffer and
other principal officers will be re-elected.

TWO YEARS FOR FORGERY
PRINCESS RADZIWILI. CONVICTED
AT CAPE TOWN.
Attorney-General, Appealed to the
Jury, to Rid Society ot tOCrucl
and Danger ons Woman,
CAPE TOWN, April 30. Princess Radzl
wlll, who has been on trial here before
the Supreme Court on the charge of forg
ery in connection with notes purporting to
have been Indorsed by the late Cecil
Rhodes, was sentenced today to two
years confinement in the House of Cor
rectlon. The, Attorney-General made a long ad
dress, ,in which he cautioned the Jury
agaln&t being mystified by telegrams from
"harebrained Individuals like William T.
Stead and others," and alleged incrimin
ating documents which were merely the
"ordinary armament of a blackmailer."
Continuing, he said: "Nothing could be
more gross and treacherous than the pris
oner's behavior throughout." He appealed
to the Jury to arrive at a verdict on the
evidence which would rid society, tempo
rarily at least, "of a cruel and danger
ous woman."
The jury brought In a verdict of guilty
on all the counts against her. The Chief
Justice then addressed the prisoner Im
pressively. He referred to her birth, her
education and her position In society.
Owing to her delicate health, the Chief
Justice said, she would not have to per
form hard labor, but that she would be
confined for two year In the house of cor
rection or at any other place which the
Governor was pleased to appoint. The

prisoner bowed her head and received her
sentence calmly. s
Personality of the Princess.
LONDON, May 1. Tho morning papers
comment upon, the remarkable career and
personality of Princess Radziwlll. They
generally attribute Mr. Rhodes death to
the worry she caused him and to the fact
that he was obliged to return to South
Africa in tho hottest weather to fight this
case. In a sketch of the Princess, the
Dally Telegraph- says, that Mr. Rhodes
lived in almost constant terror of her.
His .bouse was always open, says the pa
per, and his notions -of hospitality did
not permit him to deny his door to any
one. As a result, Princess Radziwlll was
a frequent but unwelcome visitor. The
Dally Chronicle describes the Princess as
probably the only woman who ever ob
tained the least influence over Mr.
Rhodes.
MANY PEACE RUMORS.
Definite News Not Expected Within
a. Fortnight.
LONDON, April 30. There is no truth

of surrenders.

er, was supplemented by the New York

they do not expect definite news regard
ing peace much earlier than a fortnight
from date. Meanwhile, they consider the
prospects favorable. The question of
amnesty to the Cape rebels is understood
to constitute the obstacle at present.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Expels All Winter Impurities and
Poisons From the Blood and
Builds Up the Entire
System. .
AN ASTONISHING PROOF OF
BLOOD CLEANSING AND
RESTORATION TO COM
PLETE HEALTH.
True health can only be maintained by
keeping the body free of acid and slug
gish blood and morbid . wayte matters.
The blood that Is pumped through the
heart to all parts of the body, carries
nourishment and health, or poison and
the seeds of death.
Ciose confinement In badly ventilated
offices, stores and workshops during the
Winter months has lowered the vitality
of tens of thousands. Poisons and im
purities have been implanted in the blood;
these agents of death must be expelled
If health would be maintained during the
coming Summer.
The month of May should be renovat
ing and bulldlng-up time with the vast
army of weak, debilitated and broken
down men, women and young people.
If fne work of purifying and vitaliz
ing the blood be longer deferred, erup
tions, blotches, sores, eczema, scrofula,
erysipelas and other dangers are sure to
be your portion.
Palne's Celery Compound meets success
fully at this season all unhealthy condi
tions of the blood. It Is, the only medi
cine that.can, guarantee perfect purifica
tion of tho vital fluid; that can give true
nutriment to the nerves ana tissues; that
can bestow new life, vigor andT strength
for the enjoyment of Summer and the
prosecution of life's duties.
Mr. George Schmidt, 20. West Third
St., CIncInnaU, O., briefly- and forcibly
writes regarding his rescue from a slow
"but sure death; he says:
"Since Infancy I have been bothered
with impure blood and nervousness. 1
tried almost all known remedies and went
to many physicians, but nothing seemed to
do me any good until a druggist recom
mended Palne's Celery Compound. I
used this great medicine, and before I
had finished two bottles I found relief. I
am now using my sixth bottle, and never
felt better In my life. My nervousness
Is all gone and my skin clearer than ever
It was."

WASHINGTON, April 25. Some months
ago, a press paragraph appeared, which
gained wide circulation, saying that Sen
ator H. D. Money, of Mississippi, who
was very near total blindness, had found
an oculist In Baltimore who had treated
his eyes with marked effect. This is a fact
and Senator Money, who could scarcely
see anything three months ago, can now
read very well, and believes that his
sight is going to be permanently restored.
Many people all over the country have
taken advantage of the publication, and
have written Senator Money, and many
have gone to Baltimore to be treated
oy the same specialist. Senator Money
has received thousands and thousands of
letters on the subject asking for Infor
mation, many of which he qould not
answer. He has also received a great
many letters from men who have gone
to Baltimore to be treated, thanking him
for having pointed- out to them the way
of restoring their sight. One of the let
ters is from J. B. Nichols, of Burke
mont, Or. The writer says about two
months ago an article appeared In a
Baker City paper, which told him about
the treatment of Senator Money's eyes.
He went to Baltimore, and his eye3 are
now very much improved by the treat
ment he received from the same special
ist that had treated Senator Money.
The Senator also has a letter from Will-
nThe pitcher that goes often to the
well is broken at last." There's a world
of wisdom in that familiar proverb, and
a sound application of it to disease,
especially to such familiar forms of dis
ease as coughs and colds. Singularly
enough the very thing that ought to
cause alarm is given as excuse for a feel
ing of safety. ""It's nothing; only a

before. The fact
that a cough re-'
curs periodically
should be warning,
enough to take it
in timef for the
most serious and
disastrous of all
maladies begins
with a cough.
The use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery
not only stops the
cough but cures
the cause. It cures
obstinate, deep-
seacea cougns, vs4fi
bronchitis, weak -!t"
lungs, hemor-
rhages, diseases
which if neglected or unskilfully treated
find a fatal termination in consumption.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med
ical Discovery." There is no other med
icine "just as good" for weak lungs.
"I was very sick indeed, writes Mrs. Mollle
Jacobs, of Felton. Kent Co., Delaware, "and our
"family doctor said I had consumption. I thought
X must die soon for I felt so bad. Had a bad
cough, spit blood, was very short of breath, ia
fact could hardly get my breath at all some
times. I had pains in my chest and right lung,
also had dyspepsia. Before I took your ' Golden

so weak I could not sweep a room, and now
I can do a small washing. I worked in the
canning factory this fall, and I feel like a new
person. I believe that the uord andjo&r medi

years. I took thirteen bottles pf the Golden

NOW FLY WEATHER FLAGS
Gresham Rural Delivery Wagons
Give Farmers Latest Predictions.
GRESHAM, Or., April 30. The two
delivery wagons from the postofllce here
began flying weather flags today. The
system Is the same as used by the Weath
er Bureau all over the United States. A
series of flags, five In number, are used,
being Interchangeable and capable of
being flown In combination, according to
predicted variations It) the weather. For
nearly two months the carriers have dis
tributed printed forecasts, the reports
being received by telephone from Portland
each morning at 8 o'clock. Nearly every
patron of-both routes gets one, the pre
dictions being for 24 hours in advance,
and they have proved highly satisfactory.
Gresham enjoys the distinction of being
the first place In the United States to
have the flag system carried by Its rural
delivery wagons, one of the carriers here
having conceived the Idea, which was ap
proved by the Postofllce and Agricultural
Departments upon the recommendation of
Postmistress McColl. The flags were fur
nlshsd by the "Weather Bureau, and are
about IS inches square. The system will
probably be adopted elsewhere, and event
ually become a permanent adjunct to every
rural route in the United States.
