PANIC-STRICKEN CROWDS

FIRE DEPARTMENT AVERTED DIRE CALAMITY.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Fresh paint
on one of the big: gas tanks of the
Consolidated Gas Company’s works on
First avenue, between 110th and 111th
streets, caught Are tonight, and in an
Instant the big steel cylinders wer*
enveloped In a sheet of flame, and a
terrible explosion of the gas was pre
vented only by the prompt action of
the fire department.
The blaze was the signal for a wild
stampede of the residents for blocks
around to get out of the neighborhood.
In their haste they left homes and be-
tongings. some even forgetting their
children In the excitement which led
many to run as far south as 104th
street, to Willis avenue bridge on the
north, and over Into Central park to
escape the expected explosion.
The horror-stricken Italians who
compose the bulk of* the residents of
the neighborhood, fled, casting aside
everything that would hamper their
flight and trampling down the weaker
ones. Second avenue. First avenue
and all of the cross streets from 104th
street to 120 street became filled with
u panic-stricken mob as the newi
the fire spread, and every effort was
made by each to outrun his neighbor.
The Recreation pier at the foot of
112th street soon became Jammed with
people, and but for the strenuous work
of the police many would have Jumped
Into the harbor. _ % .
The tank Is nearly two hundred feet
In diameter and rises nearly one hun
dred and twenty feet above the ground.
Almost ns oon as the Are was discov
ered It completely surrounded the
tank, while the cans of paints and oil*
left by the workmen on the scaffolding
burst and dropped blazing Into the
moat surrounding the tank, the water

that the fire department lias had to
contend with In some time. It only
lasted forty-five minutes after the ar
rival of the apparatus.
The firemen worked under great ten

ervoir would explode.

“Dear Beaver, Don’t Talk.”
The recent death of ex-Governor
Robert E. Pattison and Senator Qmoy.
of Pennsylvania, calls to mind the
story told of the astute senator, as
illustrating fhlB wonderful knowledge
of human nature. What has passed |
Into Journalistic history as the "Dear
Beaver, don’t talk" story Is worth re
telling. Though unworried by the an
tagonism of newspapers. Mr. Quay
was a pretty good fellow In his deal
ing with newspaper men who had to
approach him. In the year when Gen
eral Beaver, a personnl friend of Ml
Quay and a fellow member of the Beta
Them Pi college fraternity*, was nom
inated for governor, and the day after
the nomination, a certain political
writer on one of the Philadelphia pa
pers took a train west from the Quaker
City to Harrisburg. He met Quay on
the train.
"What are you hunting for this
time?" asked the senator.
"Oh, I’m going to interview General
Beaver,” was the reply.
"Is that so?" asked Quay thought
fully. "Well, I wish you would take
note to him from mo. It will save
my getting oft the train, and I'm In
hurry.” —
The newspaper man readily offered
to do this little favor for the distin
guished statesman. Quay took a pad
from his pocket, wrote two or three
words on it. folded It loosely, handed
It to the reporter, and said carelessly
"Just give thnt to him If you will.
That Is all I was going to say to him."
Ushered ir\to the veteran’s oftlce In
Harrisburg, the newspaper man asked
the general if he would consent to be
Interviewed on the Issues of the cam
paign. "Certainly, with the greatest
pleasure In the world,” General Beaver
answered.
"But. before we begin, I must give
you this memorandum from Mr. Quay,”
said the reporter. "Here It is."
Beaver took the paper, opened 1t end
read the message. Then Ills face broke
Into a broad smile.
"I have changed my mind," he
chuckled. "I have decided not to be
interviewed.”
"What’s the matter?”
"Oh. this Is too goed to keep." cried
the general, laughing aloud. "Just see
this."
He spread the paper out on his desk,
and the newspaper man read:
"Dear Beaver—Don’t talk. M. S.
Quay.”
Thereupon he also laughed, but there
was no Interview that day.
Now, Quay had figured on two
things. First, that the newspaperman,
being a gentleman, would not open the
sheet, though It was not sealed; and
second, that he would probably deliver
it before the Interview began, being
anxious to get It off bis mind. In both
assumptions the politician was right.
He was nn almost unfailing Judg«
human nature.

benefit. This money only about paid

The other members of the board
were each allowed $5 per diem, hotel

To his son John Henry Bohn be

ing books. Henry himself developed n
third art—thnt of buying books. He
used to Invest In "remainders” of old
books; sometimes he acquired with
them the plates from which they had
been printed.
By this process he acquired the Eng
lish rights of many translations from
Continental classics, besides reprints
of English classics. With this eqiup-
ment he commenced the "Bohn’s Stan-
nni Library" in 1846. Carlyle said of
this: "The useful lest thing 1 know,”

From Henrietta street he had taken I f

York street Is an artery of traffic to

The distance between York street

This Cat B*th*a.
Time waa when I felt that the cat
waa an animal which civilization had
no power to corrupt. The dog, I knew,
does his best to be human, but the cat
has always seemed to me above any
such shallow pretense. I thought
could count on the cat. but now I find
that even tho cat can be perverted
humanized. I went to see a. friend of
mine the other day who has recently
idoptad a plain, valuelesa alley cat of
no particular breed. She told me she
was about to give the anlmnl Its dally
bath.
I felt sorry for the creature, because
I had seen cats bathed before. Tho
bathtub was half full of wnrm water.
The cat was lifted In Its mistress* arms.
The intelligent animal gave a mew of
delight njnl hopped down Into the
water. It swam two or three times
around the tub with every Indication
of enjoyment, and then looked up and
mewed to be taken oat. The perverted
creature seemed to enjoy even the
rubbing which followed. After that.
I have no faith In anything. I have
no doubt that hens enjoy a daily
plunge, and as for the gentleman who
has always been represented as dis

The Rhurtloff No. 2 claim compri
2.59 acre*, nnd Is considered the richest
small property In tho district The
fight for the control and ownership of
this property has been on for many
months, but the consideration given to
the plnlntlfTs In the case Just settled
cannot be ascertained. However, it Is
believed to have been a very large one.
About a year and a half ago A. E.
Carlton, president of the First National
Bank of Cripple Creek, purchased the
bond and lease held on the property
of the Valley City Mining Company, for
which he paid the sum of $75,009. Im
mediately afterward the option to pur
chase for the sum of $150,000 was se
cured, $50,000, or one-third of the
money, being placed In escrow pending
the determination of the Interest to the
prperty claimed by Taddy Burns and
Edward Bell. Shortly after this sum
was paid $25,000 more was paid lo the
United Gold Mines Company for cer
tain cross right veins In the Pauper
claim, which sidelines with the Bhurt-
loff No. t, and which Is controlled by
the United Gold Mines Company.
Including the settlement made re
cently President Carlton has paid out
the sum of $250,000 In cold cash for
the fraction of ground comprising 2.5$
acres, making It at the rate of $100,000
per acre, the largest sum ever paid per
acre In the history of the gold camp.
The utmost secrecy has been pre
served by the owners of the property
for some time past. However, It Is
known that three shifts of men have
been working hoisting ore continuous
ly, and to give an outsider nn Idea of
the amount of ore thnt haa been
blocked out ready for shipment It can
be stated that the ore body has been
broken for a width of forty feet. It
can be readily seen how three shifts of
men can be kept busy working on a
body of ore of this size.—Philadelphia
