SCHOOL CHILDREN IN PANIC.
Fourteen Injured In Wild Rush When
Fireworks Are Set Off.
Jersey City. N. J., Sept. 28.-Terrl-
fled by Hhick nand stories, 1,000 chil
dren stampeded In St. Anthony's Pn
rochlnl school here, when fireworks
were set oft In the street below, and
In the mad rush for the doors fourteen
were crushed, one so serious that death
will probably result.
The fatully injured child Is Mnrian-
na Zelackshky, seven years old. The
others comprise Ave little girls and
eight boys, nil ranging from Beveu to
ten years In age. All are In hospitals.
The schoolhouso Is a stone's throw
from an Italian church which obtained
a permit to set ofT fireworks during a
celebration. A rumor got out last week
among the school children that threats
had been made to blow up the schools
with dynamite.
The children of St. Anthony's school
have been particularly nervous about
It. and when the bomb went oft sud
denly they ran shrieking from their
recitation rooms into the halls. Cries
of dynamite and the Black Hand rang
through the building. Tho calls of the
priest in charge had no effect.
The terrified children poured into the
halls and rushed wildly down tho stair
ways. There are two street doorways,
but one of them was closed. A few
passed safely out of tho open door,
but at the closed entrance there oc
curred u disastrous Jam. Hero sev
eral of the smaller children wore
trampled into unconsciousness, while
others ran back into the building and
sprang through open windows fifteen
feet to nn areaway below.
MOORS BADLY DEFEATED.
Two of Their Strongholds Captured.
War Said to Be Ended.
Madrid, Sept. 28. The war office
confirms the news of the complete
success of the campaign In Morocco
against the Moors, and It is said the
war is practically over.
From Nador tho Spanish artillery
shelled Zeluan. Tho positions sur
rounding Nador are now occupied by
20.000 Spanish soldiers.
The occupation of Zeluan followed
the effective shelling of the nrtlllery.
The actual storming of the town was
accomplished by General Tovar's bri
gade. General Orozco effecting the en
veloping movement. The casualties
among the Moors were very great.
Religious services were held to cele
brate the victory, after which General
Marina, the Spanish commander In
chief, congratulated the troops in person.
The entire coast line of Morocco is
illuminated with the fires of burning
villages. After the Spanish batteries
had silenced the native artillery the
Infantry advanced nnd drove the Moors
from their positions.
Following the satisfactory news of
Spanish successes the cabinet has de
cided to restore the constitutional
guarantees except In the provinces of
Rarcelona and Gerona and to summon
the cortes on Oct. 15.

Instead of Sinking Battleships She Will

Washington, Sept. 28.-Tho ram Kn

pected as a weapon of war, Is nbout to
come to nn Ignominious end. Instead
of creeping up to monster battleships
and sending them to tho bottom of the

Attempt of So-Called "Reformers" to
Get Possession of the Water Works
Has Raised an Important Issue In
Quaker City Campaign.
Special Correspondence.
Philadelphia, Sept 23.
Members of the local Republican
clubs who attended the convention ot
the State League at Altoona returned
home Impressed with the earn
estness and ardor displayed by the
rank and file of the Republican party
organization throughout the state In
behalf of tho party's nominees.
There was great enthusiasm shown
at tho mass meting when Senator Pen
rose in his speech declared that despite
some differences and friction In Phila
delphia the entire Republican ticket
here would bo elected by a large ma
jority and that the candidates on tho
state ticket will sweep tho common
wealth with a quarter of a million ma
jority. What tho senior senator said of po
litical conditions In the Quaker City
will unquestionably bo demonstrated
when the election returns shall be read
on the night of Nov. 2.
There has never been more activity
shown by the stalwart Republicans of
Philadelphia than In this contest. They
realize the desperate character of the
opposition and the unscrupulous cam
paign of misrepresentation that Is be
ing waged by the so-called Glbboney
combination. Thjy see the same old
forces that have been arrayed against
the Republican organization for the
last ten years and more, with a few
new allies Joining their ranks in the
expectation of being able to foster cer
tain schemes which have been turned
down by the Reyburn administration.
One of these projects, in which capi
talists are ready to Invest millions of
dollars, is the sale or leasing of the
Philadelphia water works.
This great revenue producing plant
has been regarded by a little coterie
of wealthy Phlladclphians as a great
"melon" which they would like to cut
up and divide among themselves.
When they could not get the Repub
lican organization to father their
scheme, tho Republican leaders having
called councils together and passed a
resolution against all propositions to
take the water works from control of
the people, these financiers turned in
with the Insurgents and have since
been giving support to the Independ
ent ticket headed by Glbboney for dis
trict attorney. They have the backing
of tho Wanamaker newspaper syndi
cate, which has been fighting the Re
publican party ever since Wanamaker
was defeated in his aspirations to go
to the United States senate, and they
have succeeded in making quite a
"racket" at least in these newspapers.
But that Is as far as they will get.
The people are on to their game.
The great mass of Republican voters
of this city will not be fooled. They
know that Glbboney means Wanamak'
erlsm, and they know that the men
who want to steal the water works
are behind Glbboney and are seeking
to break up the Republican organiza
tion In order that they may put their
nefarious schemes through councils.
The substantial business interests of
the community are back of the Repub
lican ticket, as was shown yesterday
at the meeting of the Republican BhsI
ness Men's association, which met In
tho Bellevue-Stratford and Indorsed
the full Republican ticket and resolv
ed to work to insure its election.
Men who have not heretofore taken
an interest in practical politics were
at that meeting. Presidents of big
financial Institutions, heads of large
industrial establishments and commer
cial houses and others Identified with
important Interests were present.
Compared with the leaders of this rep
resentative gathering, many of the
men at tho head of the Glbboney move
ment look like pigmies.
Over one thousand prominent mem
bers of the bar have signed tho in
dorsement of District Attorney Sam
uel P. Rotan for re-election, and they
are taking an active part In tho can
vass In his behalf.
Governor Stuart Is heart and soul In
the campaign, and he will figure ac
tlvely In favor of the whole Republl
can ticket Senator Penrose has been
Invited to address a number of meetings.
An Indication of the sentiment
among the wage earners of this city
in the matter will be given on the
evening of Oct 7, when Senator Pen
rose will be the guest of the Working-
men's Protective Tariff League of Ken
slgnton at a great reception and mass
meeting. Tho men and women of the
mill districts will then turn out by the
thousands to express their apprecla
tlon of the senior senator's services In
connection with the framing of the
tariff bill so as to protect the Interest
of Pennsylvanlans against foreign
competition.

ner which is to be given to Senator
Penrose by the manufacturers of Penn

Special Correspondence.
Harrlsburt? Sept. 28.
Reports regarding the receptions
given candidates on the Republican
state ticket, A. E. Slsson, for auditor
general, and J. A. Stober, for state
treasurer, on their first week's stump
ing tour are of the most gratifying
character.
They indicate that the rank and file
of tho Republican voters of Pennsyl
vania are alive to the Issues of the
campaign and tho Importance of poll
ing a large vote at the coming elec
tion.
At every point at which these candi
dates stopped they were cordially re
ceived, and hundreds of the most ac
tive and prominent citizens of the re
spective communities were on hand to
greet, them and to assure them that
they will have their support.
The initial meeting was hold In Sen
ator Slsson's home town of Erie, and
from there Crawford, Venango, Mer
cer, Lawrence, Indiana, Jefferson,
Armstrong and Butler counties were
visited.
Tho nominees attended tho conven
tion of the State League of Republican
Clubs at Altoonu, and they addressed
the mass meeting at which Senators
Penrose and Oliver and former Secre
tary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw
were among tho other speakers.
The candidates were much impress
ed with the activity of the club men
and of their plans for taking a promi
nent part In tho work of the campaign.
Senator Penrose in his speech dwelt
upon the work of the young Republi
cans of the state In promoting the suc
cess of the party candidates and said
It was greatly appreciated by the lead
ers of the party organization.
Oliver Would Recognize Stalwarts.
Senator Oliver devoted part of his
address to the same subject, and
among other things said:
It Is tho members of this league and
men like vou. to whom the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania are Indebted for
their matchless organization, through
whoso labors the party has grown
within tho last veneration irora a mere
fighting majority to a position of over
whelming sujiremaey. I am not one
of those who subscribe to the doctrine
that to the victor belong the spoils.
That doctrine was first enunciated by
a Democrat, was practiced by the
Democratic party through every ad
ministration trom Jackson to Buchan
an, and never until the Republican
nartv canio into nower was any other
policy followed except that of cleaning
out tho offices on the advent of each
administration and installing adher
ents of the new one. But while I am
not an advocate of this doctrine, I do
believe that he who works in the vine
yard should eat of the fruits thereof,
and that no man Should be disqualified
for any office, no matter how high.
simply because no has served earnest
ly ana laiuiiuiiy in ine ranus in oe
half of the party In whoso principles
he believes. I believe that the term
"politician" should bo one of praise
and not of reproach, that every Induce
ment should bo given to men to work
for their party, ana tnat an earnest,
active interest in dudhc anairs snouiu
be encouraged in all young men as
they approach the voting age.
This week Candidates Slsson and
Stober resumed their campaigning,
They visited Warren and Tionesta
yesterday. Today they are scheduled
to go to Bradford, McKean county, and
Coudorsport, Forest county, and to

fonte, Centre county, in the afternoon
Friday morning they are to be In Low-

noon they are billed for Sunbury, Nor
thumberland county. Saturday's meet
lngs will be held in Mlddleburg, Sny
der county, In the morning, and Lewis
town, Mifflin county, In the afternoon.
Speaker Cos, of the state house of
representatives, and Major McDowell,
chief clerk of the national house of
representatives, have been accompany
lng the candidates, and they havo both
written to Colonel Wesley R. Andrews
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee, that they are elated over the
cordiality and tho manifest sincerity
of the receptions that have been ten
dered the party's standard-bearers
They say there is no sign of party dis
affection anywhere and that the Re
publicans are harmonious and aggres

have been.
