Boyertown, Pa., Jan. 13.- Between 50 and 75 persona were burned to death to-night in a fire which com pletely destroyed Rhoad'i Opera House in thii place. The opera house wai crowded with memberi of St. John's Lutheran Sunday school, who were at tending a benefit given for that church. While the show was in pro gress, tank exploded. The actors endeavored to quiet the audienee but in their anxiety to make themselves heard and to avoid the awful stampede of the women and children, the coal oil lamps which were used aa the foot light were overturned, setting the place on (ire. The flames, fed by the oil, shot almost to the ceiling and there waa a wild ru.th of the seven hundred persons to escape from the burning building. Scores of women and children were trampled Uxn and several who escaped being burned to death, died after being dragged from the opera house. In many cases, it is said, entire families have been wiped out. The scene which followed the explosion is indescribable. Scores of persons w ho were in the balcony at the time the explosion occurred jumped from the windows and sustained fractured limbs and skulls. To add to the terrible disaster, the fire apparatus became disabled and the structure waa left entirely to the mercy of the seething flames. It is al most certain not a vestige of the bodies of the unfortunates who were overcome by the smoke, and perished, Will ever be found. Assistance was asked from Pottstown, but before the fire apparatus from that city reahed this place the entire centre of the structure was a roaring furnace. Had the women and children heeded the warning of the cooler headajn the The Knock-oat Blow. The blow which knocked out Cnrbett was a revelation to the print lighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was alined for the Jaw, be temple or the Jugular vein, humnuh punches were thrown In to worry and weary tha fighter, but If a selentllic man had told one of the old fighters that the Biost vulnerable tt was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an Ignoramus.

I The flames spread rapidly and commu ' nirated to the other parts of the theatre. Men, women and children rushed for the many exits, and the weaker sex and the children were trampled and maimed in the mad rush to gain the street. Assistance was at once asked of both Reading and Pottstown, and special trains carrying nurses to the scene of he disaster. I Every home within radius of a dozen blocks of the opera house was , made a temporary hospital, where the . wounded were rushed by carriages and other means of conveyance. Boyertown is a borough with a popu lation of about 2,600 and is located j about midway between Pottstown and ; Reading. Hundreds of persons surround the burning structure apparently uncon scious of the pending danger from falling walls. Many parents who had children in the opera house are pacing to and fro, almost maddened by the awful sight. The night waa one of wailing and anguish. The shrieks of mothers who had rushed to the scene as soon as they learned of the fire was pitiful. As the night wore on, the crowds sur rounding the building grew to such 1 proportions that It waa almost imposs- hie for the police force, which had been augmented by a score of 'men from Pottstown and Heading, to keep the people back. One woman who said she had lost her entire family in the theatre was with difficulty restrain ed from throwing herself into the flames. At I o'clock a special train from Reading.bearing physicians and nurses, reached here, but there Was little for them to do, aa the injured who had dashed themselves to the pavement, had been cared for. A few minutes after midnight the rear wall of the theatre collapsed. The flames broke out anew and those who had hoped to be able to find the remains of some of their loved ones, turned in despair from the scene. It is estimated that at least 75 per sons were injured by being trampled upon either on the stairway or by jumping from the windows. Of this number at least a score were fatally injured, at least half a dozen succumbed to their injuries after being hurried to one of the temporary hospi tals. Three children, ranging In ages from 8 to 12 years, and one woman, who were dragged from the building by persons who had rushed to the res cue, had been trampled almoat to a pulp. The skull of one of tha unfor tunate children had been crushed as though it was an egg shell, A Cur for Mis-try. "I bave found core for the mis ery malaria poinwn produce," nays It. M.

SnyerMwa. reaa, Ptoearh, sua This little borough, which lost one fifteenth of its population in the opera bouse horror Monday night, today turned to the tank of burying its dead. Because of the condition of most of the bodies the borough authorities bare asked the bereaved relatives to bury the dead within three days. All night long scores of men worked in the morgues prepar ing the bodies for removal to their homes or to the cemetery. As early as five o'clock a long line of death wagons moved here and there about the town distributing the corpses and before nightfall most of the dead will be ready for interment The relief committee working in conjunction witn relatives, bas re moved more than fifty bodies from the morgues. It is a common sight to see men carrying through the streets charred bodies on boards cov eted by a blanket or quilt It rained slightly this morning and there was a little fall of snow but this did not deter the work of digging graves. A force of men start ed to dig graves in Fair View and I nion cemeteries this morning. The borough has decided to buy eight lots lor the burial of the uni dentified dead. In the center of the plot sullicient space will be left for the erection of a monument The scenes about the morgues to day are much the same as yesterday Uayiight lound crowds around the entrances clamoring for admittance. At 7 o'clock the doors were opened and the gruesome task of identifying the dead was again taken up. It is believed that more than fifty bodies will never be ldenuhed. Tne death list continues to grow. and it is now feared that the num ber of victims will reach 180 and possibly higher. Today Mrs. James Fryer, who was injured by leaping from the building, died, making the total number of known dead 172. Coroner Straussers' official list this afternoon showed that of the dead 112 were females and 45 males. There are 15 bodies so badly burned that it is impossible to distinguish their sex. There are 22 bodies of children in cluded in the list of males and fe males. The coroner stated that this list is by no means complete. The borough of Boyertown mourns the loss of 1 10 of its people. The re mainder of the victims hailed from about ten different hamlets all with in a radius of five miles. "I have every reason to believe," said the coroner, after making anoth er examination of the ruins today. that the number of dead may reach fully two hundred. A number of bodies, how many we will never be able to tell, were possibly burned to a crisp. Nothing remains of them but scattered ashes. CROW ELL REUNION. JULY 20. BANKS VS. SOCKS.

Richard Scarboro, a Buncombe county farmer, fell on Shannon Hunt, an Asheviiie hunter, and beat him half to death, and now warrants have been Bcrvcd on each with varying charges.

Jim Fisher, at Asheviiie, was once put under a $ 50 bond for perjury and gave it Then he disappeared. Later he was pronounced dead by sorrowing relatives, but the police learned that he wasn't, and so they got on his trail and found him in Jellico, Tenn., whence they fetched him home to Asheviiie and gently lodged him in jail some more, to the inexpressible relief of his bondsmen.

Edwin and John ( rowell, or Cromwell, landed at New lork, and later moved to Halifax county, near the site of the town of Edenton, one of the oldest towns in the State, in the extreme east and not far from the Virginia line. Edwin Crowell remained a Tar Heel but his brother John Crowell later moved to Alabama, where he went into business and reared a fine family. ' Edwin Crowell was the father of John Crowell, whose son, Michael Crowed, settled in Union county, and married Jane Pyron. It is particularly the descendants of these latter, Michael and Jane Crowell, who have been called to at tend the reunion next July. Mr. W. C. Crowell lives in Mon roe. there is a big grove near his residence, and in this the descend ants of Michael and Jane Crowell will gather.

These blanks are to be tilled out with the name of each de scendant, residence, occupation, date of birth and of marriage, and a rec ord will also be kept of those de scendants who are dead, together with the date of death and cause of death, and the place of burial. The church affiliation of each member of the family will also be included in the registry to be prepared." Mock Tarriage Ruins a Widow's Life. ilolitituro DlniU'h, Wth. Quite an interesting as well as se rious case was given a preliminary bearing this week in the justice of peace court It seems that Peter Rog ers, a tailor of this city, has been paying quite a great deal of atten tion to Mrs. Martha Mabe, a widow, who has been the housekeeper at Mrs. McCullen's boarding house, coming here originally from Stokes county; and in the course of time became en gaged to be married to her. This week, through a mock ceremony at his place of business on West Centre 9treet, Rogers made the woman be lieve that she was his lawful wife, thus debauching her character and ruining her life. On the other hand it is alleged by friends of Rogers that there was no ceremony performed and Mrs. Mabc was so informed by the justice of the peace whom Rogers had summoned to perform the ceremony, and she was further informed that Rogers was married and could not be mar ried to another. However, upon go ing to the office of the register of deeds and finding that no license had been issued, Mrs. Mabe bad Rogers arrested, and he is now in jail in de fault of 1 300 bond to appear at the next terra of court and answer to the charge of a felony. Rogers is 43 years old and has a wife and three children at Tarboro. Mrs. Mabe is 47 years old and has two grown sons and grandchildren. Out of her own money she advanced the supposed husband $3 necessary to pay for the license which was never obtained. This Is Worth Remembering.

Mr. Bell's loss is serious, but he may congratulate himself that it was no worse. That 2-'i0 in his hou.-e was a standing inviUtion not only for robbery, but for murder and ar son. If thieves bad entered the honif in the night, while the family was there, lliey would not have hesitated if it bad been necetsarv, to murder the inmates in their beds and burn the roof over their heads. The petty thief is not dangerous. But the thief mho makes it a business to steal money who looks out for cash in lare sums is a dangerous man. He gixu prepared and before he will run the risk of leing taken he will commit murder. Such instances are of common occurrence; there have been such instances right in this sec tion of North Carolina, and the won der is that there are not more, for every man who keeps as much as f 50 or?ll)Oin his house, and lets the Fact be known, is in danger of being robbed and the robbery may lead to a graver crime. If a mau hoards money the fact will become known in spite of him He may do his best to keep it a secret but the fact Ibat he keeps money, even though it be a comparatively small sum, will be noised about. People will talk about it, and while the people of the immediate neigh borhood may be honest, there is nev er any knowing when some one may hear of it whose cupidity will be ex iled; and the man who keeps money where it can be reached with com parative ease as it can almost al ways be in a private house has to bear bis share of the blame for plac ing temptation before those who can be misled. With the large number of banks now in existence there is no excuse for one carrying a large sum of mon ey on his person or keeping it in his home. The use of checks is a more satisfactory way to do business than the handling of actual cash. Afraid if the banksr Once in a while s bank breaks. I'ndcr our modern system of banking it is rare that de positors lose, even when a bank fails or is robbed by its officers. But any intelligent man must admit that tak- ng chances on the banks is infinitely safer than leaving the money unpro- v:wd in a private home; there are more cases of loss by thieves or fire than from the brraking of banks. Business men in towns have just aa much desire to save their money as anybody, and yet one can hardly find a business house in IStatesville or in any town that will keep any consid erable sum of money in a safe over night. They take it to the bauk. The rafe is to keep books and papers, and money incidentally, safe in case of fire. But burglars no into safes with comparative ease and for this reason, even in towns where electric lights blaze all night long and police men are on duty at all hours, few business men lea re any considerable sum of money in a safe over night if they can get to a bank. How fool ish then to keep money unprotected in a home in the rural districts. li '(2 Economizes the use of flour, but ter and eggs; makes the biscuit, cake and pastry more appetiz ing;, nutritious and wholesome. 1 li e$l inrM 1 1 1- t ri irvi Rank Foolishness.
