Twenty-four dead and fifteen seri ously injured was the reckoning made in the fire which swept the four-story factory builoing at 216-218 High street, Newark, N. J. i The bodies of five were taken out | of the ruins, and an equal number who are still missing are now being sought under the heap of charred and twisted ! debris. i There are eight bodies in the morgue that cannot possibly be identified, ana | will be buried togeiher in one name: | less grave. Those who were identified were removed to their homes, anl | their funerals will be conducted pri vately by their relatives, Sadie Hanson, of 20 Stone street, was cleaning carbon filaments for in. candescent electric lights in the shop | of the Anchar Lamp company, on the | third floor. This is a process in mak- ing the electric bulbs. Within a few | feet was a lighted bunsen burner. The girl picked 1p a big gasoline can and | poured the gasoline over the carbon | filaments, and the fumes were ignited | by the bunsen burner. The explosion | which followed burned off all her hair and part of her clothing. The floor was saturated with oil, and the flames | spread rapidly. Instantly there was pandemonium. i» @Girls, stricven with an overpowering fea~ r~hrieted so londly that they | could be heard by the workers on the | flor above and the floors below, above the noise of the machinery. It was not long before the fire had reached the fourth floor, which was occupied by Wolf & Co., manufactur ers of muslin underwear. There were about fifty girls employed on this floo". Meanwhile the girls on the fourth floor had run to the stairway, but they | found that it was on fire and their es- cape was cut off. Then the horrible scenes begsn. Mad leaps from windows of the fourth floor before the firemen arrived with life nets and ladders were what swelled the list of casual ties, fifteen having been killed in this WAY. High street in front of the building was a grewsome field. Bodies of girls, some dead, others dying, lay about. The scenes of wild distress upon the arrival of relatives and friends were heartrending. Fathers, mothers, broth. ers, sisters, not knowing the fate of their kin, moved from place to place, turning over the bodies to see if per- chance they could find the remains of their dear ones. Pennsy Orders 150,000 Tons Rails. | The Pennsylvania Railroad ccmpany has placed orders for 150,000 tons of steel rails for delivery during the com- ing vear. The purchase exceeds any made by the company since 1906 and is nearly 18,000 tons more than was ordered last | year. The orders are apportioned as usual | this vear with the Pennsylvania Steel | company, the Lackawanna Steel com- pany, the United States Steel corpora- tion, the Cambria Steel company and the Bethlehem Steel company. It was | forecasted early in the month that the i order would be for 150,000 tons. Later | the “street” heard that it might be cut | to half the amount, but in certain cir | cles the order as made known was ‘steadfastly predicted. The company's orders for steel rails | during the last six years follow: Ini 909, 137,665 tons; 31,563 in 1908, 149, | 3 in 1907, 163,797 in 1906, 128,075 in | 905, and 110,591 in 1904. The amount | supposed to have been used in 1910 | ‘was 75,000 tons. { Whirled For Five Minutes on Factory | Fly Wheels. Joseph Botanas, sixteen years old, “han an awful experience and a mirucu- | lous escape from death at the Maple Hill coliilery at Shenandoah, Pa. ‘He was through his work for the day, and as he was passing rapidly | revolying machinery his clothing was caught in a belt, whirling him in space | from one fly wheel to another for! about five minutes before his agonizing cries were heard and the machinery was stopped. Strange to say, he is only | slightly injured. 1 | New U. S. Steel Pension Plan. ——— Scheme Also Provides For Permanent Dis- ability. The United States Steel corporation has made public in New York its sec- ond plan for the protection of work- men at times of disability from injury and in old age. It comes in the shape of a pension system for long service. Judge Gary announced the details as follows: Plans have now been consummated, to begin on Jan. 1, 1911, to pay pen- sions from the United States Steel and Carnegie pension fund, which was es- tablished last spring by the United States Steel corporation and Andrew Carnegie. For this purpose the United States Steel corporation provided $8,000,000, which, with the Carnegie relief fund of $4,000,000, created by Andrew Car- negie on March 12, 1901, makes up a joint fund of $12,000,000. This pension fund is administered by a board of twelve trustees, through a manager appointed by the board. The board of trustees has adopted pension rules for the administration of the fund to take effect on Jan. 1, 1911, and to apply to persons who are in the service of the United Sta‘es Steel corporation and its subsidiary companies on and after that date. Under the pension rules three class- es of pensions are provided. First—Pensions by compulsory re- tirement, granted to an employe who has been twenty years or lcnger in the service and have reached tpe age of seventy years for men and =ixty years for women. Second--Pensions Ly retirement at their request, granted to employes who ! have been twenty years or lipge in the service and have reached the «ze of fifty years for men and fifty rears for women. Third—Pensions for p:rmanent n- capacity, granted to employes who! have been twenty years or longer mn | the service and have become perma- nently totally incapacitated through no fault of their own. The monthly pensions to be paid from the income of the fund will be made up on the following basis: For | each year of service, 1 per cent of the average regular monthly pay re- | ceived during the last ten years of | service; provided, however, that no | pension shall be more than $100 a i ' month or less than $12 a month. For example: An employe who has been twenty-five years in the service and | has received an average regular sal- ary of $60 a month will receive a pen- | i sion allowance of $15 a month. This pension fund provides for the | support of the faithful employes in | their old age. It is entirely separate and distinct from the voluntary acci- dent release plan put into operation by the United States Steel corporation | on May 1, 1910, which prov ides for em- ployes who may be killed while at work in the service of the subsidiary companies of the United States Stcel corporation. Neither the vountary accident re- lease plan nor the United States Steel and Carnegie pension fund involves any contributions from the men them. selves toward the accident release or old age pensions. Carnegie Adds $2,000,000 to Gift. The trusiecs of the Carnegie insti- tute in Pittsburg, Pa. announced that, following Andrew Carnegie's gift of $1,500,000 for immediate use in build- ing extensions and equipment of the technical schools, the school pa- tron has also given an additional sum of $2,000,000 in 5 per cent gold inter- est-bearing bonds of the United States Steel corporation, which are said to have a market value of $2,300,000. The earnings of these bonds is to go for the maintenance of the enlarged schools that will increase the student body to 3000. This makes a total do- paticn at this time of $3,800,000. When the announcement of the $1, 500,000 was made a week or more ago it was stated that in all probability another donation would be made for the maintenance of the schools when the enlarged school facilities had been accomplished. The second gift came sooner than was expected, however, and is looked upon by some as a birthday celebration since today is Mr. Carnegie’'s anniver- sary. Le, Magistrate Whips Wife Beater. Justice of the Peace J. C. Hayden, of Swoyersville, near Wilkes-Barre, | Pa., used a horsewhip to vigorously | thrash Albert Gey, who is a chronic wifebeater and who had again beaten and badly injured his wife. She went to the office of Justice Hayden and told how her husband had brutally beaten her and asked that he | be punished. “I'll punish him properly | thiz time,” declared the justice, and | sent a constable for Gey. ras rT : 5 ==} Q # armed with a heavy horsewhip. “Take your coat off and get down | on your knees, you brute,” roared the magistrate. “The law doesn’t provide the proper punishment for the likes of | you, so i'll give yon a taste of the medicine you like to administer.” Swish fell the whip across Gey's shoulders, and other blows followed as the man jumped about the room beg- ging for mercy and protesting that he would behave himself in the future and never strike ris wife again. “You bet you will not cried the justice, slashing Gey about the legs and body, “because I'll teach you not to,” and he continued thrashing the prisoner until he was out of breath. “Now go home,” he said to the weep- ing and cowed man, “and remember it is your duty to iove and protect your wife. for it you ever beat her again I'll give you a double dose of this” and he shook the whip in the frighten: ed man's face, White House Calf Is Dead. When the stork called on Pauline Wayne at the White House siabe at Washington recently, President Taft gave the thoroughbred calf to W. W. Price, who works as a correspond- ent at the White House in the daytime and farms by night in Maryland. All the other Washington farmers thought Price was lucky. Price bought a fancy new milch cow to serve as a foster mother to Paul- ine's first born son. He called at the White House stable to get the calf and found that “Big Bill” had passed away in the night. Price now has a high class new milch cow he will sell at cost. “Too much federal supervision,” he complained to the White House stable attaches, wino had showered every pos- sible attention upon the tender young life. Two Killed at Steelton. Henry Kelley, a blast furnace man at the Pennsylvania Steel Works at Steelton, Pa., was overcome by gas | and fell over on a pile of red hot iron. It is said he was dead when he (eil. Shortly after Henrick Muller was cov- ered with hot dust from an <splosion and died at the Harrisburg hospital. Lynchburg, Va., Banker a Suicide. Samuel T.
