f w KILLS ANDMAIMS An Accidental Dynamite Explosion at Savannah. \ PEOPLE INDIGNANT * At the Men Who Owned tlje Factory V Where the Explosion Occurred. One Fireman Killed, One Fatally Injured and Two Very Seriously Wounded. By the explosion of dynamite In the fireworks factory of Jos Oarbo and John Nlva, Italians, at No. 631 Anderson street Savannah, Ga., at 9 o'clock Wednesday, night, one lireman was burned to death, another was fatally burned; an ws'stant fire chief and another fireman were seriously, po-ifiibly fatally, burned. The proprietors were painfully burned and a b <y was struck in the face flying debris and r-.eveoely hurt. The dead are: Fireman Harry Eady. Fatally irjured: Fireman El ward Daley. Seriously, possibly final ly injured: Assistant Fire Chief George Mturo, Fireman Jerry O'Leary. Ir j irsd; Joseph H. Carbo, John Niva, Lambert; Patten. At} 8.30 o'olock Oarbo and Niva wore engaged in counting ac rpedoeb they had manufactured. One dropped and caused the exlostoa of tho rest, Garbo and N va suffered pain JCui injuries, those of Gaibo being the more serious. Tlio small bubding took fire Imme diatoly. A chemical company of the nelghboorhood responded to the alarm ana quickly cxUnguls ;ed\./r* Abfcistant Ghief Mouro was telephoned, as it was desired that he investigate, it being suspected that the Itali'.n proprietors had a greater pu??ntity of explosives in the place than the city crdina-ces permit, Upon hK arrW*l, be and Firemen E-vdy, O L' ary and Daley entered the building- Wlih thom waa a coy, Fiecl Unlicv, sixteen years old, who had crowded his way in. The firmcn were speculating as to what could ha^e caused the explosion. "I'll show you how it happened," remarked Ghitty, picking up a dynamite can. This he hurled to the floor, and there followed thiee explosions in qujck succession. The buiicnrg couapsea, ana nno aetonations were beard all over the city. Window glasses were broken in the neighborhood, and debriu was sent flying in every dlrcotlon. Fire followed hard upon the explosions. Eady was caught beneath the falling timbers, crushed to death and his body incinerated. The others sscaped to the open, but D?ley did so onh through the heroism of Mouro and O'Learj, who Injured as they were drew him from the burning debris. All of the injured vrerc at once hur ried to hospitals. CJarob and Nlva had already been hurried to Park View Sanitarium for treatment, tut the su perlntcnJent of police almcsb Immediately directed their removal to the police station This w&u for a dual purpose, the tfleot-lng of their arrest and to save them f cm a mob. A great crowd h?d gathered at the scene of the tire immediately after the explosion. Groat excitement followed, and there was the deepest indignation against the Italians, whom the crowd thought responsible for the cx pios.ou, because of their having suoh ? nimntU.o r\t rtvimin t.hft hnllri lng. Fireman Daley is expected to die at any irr m?nt. PrevonutiTe of Lockjaw. Every little wbllo vie read In ftic pap r that some one brs run & ruut: nail into his fcot or otl er portion ol his body and lock j*w resulted there from and the patient died. If every person was aware of a psifeot remedy for such wounds and would apply It, auofi reports would cease. The remedy is simple, always at hard, can be applied by anyone, ^hat Is better, it is infallible. It 1b dimply to smoke the wound, any wound that is bruised or iLt}au.eu, with a wolleucloth; twenty minutes in the smoke will take the pain cut of the worst case of lnfl*ma tlon arising from suoh a wound. You may sueer at this remedy but in oasts of emergfn<?v, trv it.

I i SALARIES TOO SMALL AND MANY 111) HAL, UARRlEllS ARE QUXLINU. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General McGraw Very Correotly Thinks it Should be Increased. Rural cna'l oarricrs are resigning from the service at the rate of 400 % mouth. Last month the reslgnctiona aggregated nearly 500. DlHculr.y Is being experienced by the Postofiico Department not only in retaining, but In obtaining, the services of trustworthy men in the capacity of rural oarriers. Some of these tine mornings," said Fourth Asslstano Postmaster General De Graw, \we shall wake up and tlud that we have no rural mall service, P these resignations continue at the present rate." "What is the trouble?" "Salaries," replied Mr. De Graw, laconically. "The men, particular y those on the more extended routes, where the residences of the people are scattered, discover, after a trial, that they can rot make enough fairly to pay them for their time and labor. We pay the rurr.l oirrlers ouly $450 a year arc! they have to tiad themselves. It has been demonsirat* ed satisfactorily, I think, that that is not enough. Tue department is tryiDg to induce Congress to inor aw the compensation of the rural carrlerb hut it i* an uphill job. 1 hopo we mm T f ?v? nwt- 1 iv JUU91 uo cTiueiib that wo can not retain tho services of the rigu. kind of men for such salaries ae we now pay. Tho rural mall service has grown immonaoly tn a few years and inoreaa demands aro being mace upon It. It hus boon made upon it. It has proved to boas tho olty delivery ano now has become an absolutely neoessi ty. Djcplto the small salaries paid the carriers, wo get very etllolent uor?ice. Tho carriers generally are loyal and prompt aud, so long as they remain In the service, do their work well. Throughout the country we had during the pact year 35,066 oarrlora That number has been Increased a gojd muny hundieds slooo the flrat of last July. Tho class of men who are apppolDted may be judg d from the fact that, of the more than 35,000 men, on'y 167 were removed for cat s during the whole of the last tisoal year. In the s?,me p*rlod, however, the resignations of 4,441 carriers were accepted. That is annul 12 per cent of the entire number. Since the end ol the fiscal year, the percentage of re slgnatloiis ha.s jampftd to 15 per oca' and before the dose of tho year probably will be even greater than that. 'If we do not succeed in obtaining an increase of pay for the carriers we shall be confronted, before long, with * serious problem. In many instances we shall be obliged to reestablish postoffloes which were discontinued when the rural service was put Into operation. That is a backward stop which, it Is to b3 hoped, we may not have to take." "What do you think the compensation of carriers ought to bf ?' "Perhaps," replied Mr. D^rGraw, "the compensation ought to b* gr?.d ed according to the route, I beleive the maximum pay, for routes of twenty-live miles or more, should be ttKJO a year. Some of the shorter rout*> cught to pay a littlo lo u than that At any rale, at a salary of 9450 par annum is too small for a man * ho has to furnish his o?n horse and veh'c'.e and pay all of his own f xpenves I beleive. the arguments in supoort of the ntoces&ary increase will nppeal to Congress and rer.lly hope that in a short time, we shall be able to give the carriers something like adequate P&y."
