"On that night abont 40 of us, all

VBoys. for God'fc sake get ftp ,**? he
shouted, and the men sprang up. An
derson said the pais sp? ? train aad

when he raa'but 'The flashes were
hUMlafc And the thunder kept up aa
awful racket It waa dark as pitch
when the lightning .didn't blind us.
We heard again the moving down the
*nleh and made a break for it. There
were oaly two or throe llltl* road h?n
tenia for ll|ht.vAffi around we could
hear tve*^ snapping aad other sUdei

grabbed up axes when they ran out
and than the lanUrns showed a row
ct hands back' in weary little hole aad
opening in the coaches. We started
chopping between the outstretched
hands and so began to take them out
"We had worked hard all day and
were pretty well played out, but we
*n set to work, each man i gave hta
fl'rst name leading. #We could heai
passengers crying for water. Some
were crying for nothing at all. We
got some of them ovt^llve, but man?
died before we got at thrm, although
they were living when wc reached the

for."
Professor Gannett, of the coast and
geodetic surrey, and one 6f the mem
bers of the National Geographic iolcl
'ety which accepted Peary's proofB,
told the committee that Mr. Peary
would not let -the committee have the
proofs for public purposes, because
he wanted them for use 1n newspaper
and magazine articles.
The professor had with him a copy
of tho proofs, but he declined to sub
mit them. He told pie committee

KIM of riolesca tkrasckout th?
etljr.' Ten thousand persona, c roused
by the display of police power. Joined
In the demonstration, marching
through the downtown section and
committing acts of rlolencfe wherever
they went.
The mass meeting in the historic
square bore no seriouq results Itself,
except for a few minor disturbances,
but no sooner bad It ended than the
crowd seemed suddenly to hate been
seised with a frenzy of destruction. r
Cars in Chestnut and Market streets
were intercepted by the great crowd
and stoned. PsssenRera were terror
ized and the details of police were at'
tacked. At Ninth and Market streets
a pitched battle^ occurred. Men and
women Joined In the riot and many
were Injured. ?
Though a large force of policemen
wan rushed tb the scene of Che trou*
ble the rioters refused to disperse.
Many of 'them were arrested In a
demonstration at Ninth and Filbert
streets, but one man leaped from the
police patrol and gpt away. At Are
o'clock tho reign of lawlessness In
the business section had exceeded any
former bounds*, and the situation ap
peared to be getting beyond control
of the police. It Is feared tUat con
ditions will be much worse when
darkness has settled oyer the city.
i Part of the crowd assembled in
.Washington square, two blocks, from
Independence Hall, Some of the
labor leaders climbed on a water
^fountain .and started to ?ddre*s the
men on Chestnuf*strwBt^i^^e?^s
they galloped through the arches of
Independence Hall, rode Into the
crowd and scattered them right and
left. -Many men and women ware
trampled under the horses' feet and
severely injured.
A remarkable feature of the rioting
was the large number of women who
took part. There seemed to be about
as many of them as men. They were
not backward . in taking part In the
attacks on the cars and they hooted
and jeered the policemen. Ada Key
erson, president of the Shirt Waist
Makers' Union, was one of the lead
ers of the mob. She wsb arrested
and taken to the City Hall with the
other prisoners.
It wai not the fault of the strikers
that there was not trouble during the
meeting. They were ready for any
thing, but lacked a leader. The po
lice did not appear to awe *hem very
much, but there wasn't anybody in
the crowd who would pluck up
enough courage to make any sort of a
fight. At one time the motormen and
conductors succeeded in rousing some
excitement that looked as though It
might result In a riot, but the police
quickly checked.lt. After a while
part of tho crowd appeared to tire of- ?
waiting for something to happen and
started away. "*They had not gone Car- ?'''
when a sort of parade was formed and
several thousand marched to the
rooms of the Central Labor Union, In .*?
North Ninth street, where sn indlg
nation meeting was held.
The strikers. Jubllsnt over the way %;
in which the strike order has been
obeyed, predict that tonight all bvial
ness throughout the city will be shut
down and that by Monday the Indus
tries will be at a complete standstill.
They say that even the necessaries of
life, auch as breafl, milk, meats. *c., *
will be luxuries. Breweries, factories
and big Industrial establishments of
all sorts will be closed.
No man ever loved his wife's rela
tions so much that he was willing to
die for them.
When a girl his more than ona
beau ?ll her parried women frienda
tell her ahe la taking desperate
chancea.
