1 rrt THE ATT, A NT A rfEORGIAN AND NEWS. SHIS HIS BRIDE PIT GLASS III Yellowjackets Rout Soldiers of Second Regiment E. R. Sweat, Seeking Divorce, Bares What He Declares Was Attempt on His Life. That hip bride of six months placed pulverized glass in his coffee with the evident purpose of killing him is one of the sensational charges made in a suit for divorce filed Wednesday by E. R. Sweat, of No. 33 Gresham street, through his attorney, R. A Boorstin. Sweat claims that persecutions at the hands of his wife, of which the alleged attempt to administer the ground glass was the climax, have left him a nervous wreck and unfit for work. They were wed February *. after a romantic courtship. Married life soon palled on the wife, according to Sweat. Her ill treatment of him began before a month had passed, he says. She reproved him one day. he recites, by slapping him in the face in the presence of strangers. Tiun she grew more persistent. Sweat swears that she would sleep the whole day for the sole purpose of keeping him awake and tormenting him when he returned home tired from work at night. They separated after an Incident of July 15. Sweat's story is that he came home from work that night and | sat down at the supper table. He drank one cup of coffee and asker. for another. He says that the second cup tasted peculiar and that when he stirred it and got some of the grounds on his spoon he discovered a quan tity of pulverized glass. He declares that he charged her with an attempt to kill him and that she replied by hurling the sugar bowl out of the window and snatching the coffee cup from his grasp and de stroying it. She left the saucer n the table and in this, Sweat claims, there remained some of the glass which he had removed from the cup.

LIKED AT 58 Probe Begun of Binghamton Hol ocaust as Death List Grows. Girls Trapped at Benches. BINGHAMTON, N. Y„ July 23.— Searching parties to-day worked in the ruins of the building of the Bing hamton Clothing Company seeking bodies believed to be buried there. Streams of water were played on the building all night to cool them enough to allow the rescue work to begin. Workmen at daylight began digging at the tons of charred timber, brick and mortar, in an effort to reach the bodies still known to be burled in the debris At noon on Wednesday twenty-one bodies had been recovered. The death list will reach 58. it was estimated. Ten injured are in a hospital. Of the 111 persons in the building at the time the fire broke out only 38 es caped. Thirty-seven are missing. Girls Mistake Alarm. Belief that the alarm was sounded only as a fire drill, caused the great loss of life. When the girls and wom en working in the factory realized that the building was burning the main avenue of escape had already been cut off. Instantly the other ex its were choked with panic-stricken girls Many reached the windows but the firemen and others bent on rescuing inmates were powerless to aid them, owing to the rapidity with which the flames licked up the inflammable mill material. Eighteen minutes elapsed from the time the fire broke out until the walls fell and the building was in ruins. Fire Laid to Smoker. Reed B. Freeman, president of the company, attributes the fire to the carelessness of an employee in throw ing a cigarette butt under a stair way, where inflammable material was stored. Smoking was prohibited in the building, but many employees were addicted to the habit, according to Freeman, and often went to the alley near the building to smoke. Rigid investigation of the fire will be made by the authorities. They will investigate the charges made that gasoline was stored in the build ing, dangerously near the stairway from the upper floors and that the fire escapes were so exposed that many victims were burned while try ing to descend.

Yet not a pick has been stuck in the park during the seven months of the year, with the exception of one short block on Lom bardy street Mayor Woodward declared Wed nesday that little relief from such conditions could be expected so long as our present system of government was in effect. He said he had been trying to tell the people all the year that they could not trace responsi bility in matters of such gross incom petency and negligence. “This new charter of Council*# the Legislature is about to submit to thV people is far worse,” he said. “It provides for a board to supervise the construction department, which will be about as satisfactory as the re mainder of our boards. “The Ansley Park citizens will have to frighten the whole city government into action to get any real results.” Operation Threatened?
