The home-coming of James S. Sher
man was mado the occasion of such a
demonstration at Utlca as has rarely
hceii soon In the Empire state.
The welcome to the Ropubllcan candU
dato for vlco presidential honors was
a non-partisan affair and to a great
extent personal, for the congressman's
recovery from his recont somewhat
alarming Illness gavo added reason for
public rejoicing on his safo return.
Mr. Sherman, accompanied by Mrs.

from tho train Blowly, looking palo
and worn. But he had stood the jour
ney well, his physician said. A

cinity of the station and escorted tho
candidate to his home. Tho lino of
march covered fully two miles and tho
paraders Included representative civic,
military and fraternal organizations.
Tho route lay through tho principal
streets, tho buildings of which were
decorated with flags, streamers and
mottoes, all Illuminated by electric
lights. A dozen bands furnished mu
sic, fireworks added a spoctacular
feature and tens of thousands of per
sons along tho routo shouted them
selves hoarse. At Mr. Sherman's homo

Tho "Chicago to ocean" long dis
tance balloon race ended Sunday night,
when the last of tho nine contestants
came to earth at West Shefford, Que.,

an hour or moro Colonel A. 15. Mueller
and George Schoeneck, its occupants,
wero swept across the surface, finally
arising with their craft to a height or
7,000 feet, from which they descended
to Denton Harbor, Mich.
A similar experience fell to the lot
of C. H. Perlgo and J. D. Case, crew
of the Illinois. While endeavoring to
effect a landing near Lake Ontario,
their balloon fell into tho Bay of
Quinte. The aeronauts had donned
life preservers and managed to keep

DLA2E CAU8ES SEVEN DEATHS
Explosion In Cleveland Store Followed
by Flames and Panic.
Seven persons wero killed, two woro
fatally Injured' nnd fully thirty more
were soverely hurt as tho result ol
a flro In S. S. Krcngo's 5 nnd 10-cont
store, on Ontario street, Cleveland, O.
The dead: Emma Schumackcr,
Mnrle Wngnor, Anna Trefnll, Friday
Trefall, Elizabeth Rols, Mary Hughes,
James L. Parker.
Tho flro followed an explosion ot
flroworks on display In tho storo.
Opinions differ as to tho exact cause
of tho explosion. A woman who was
at tho fireworks counter said the
stock was ignited by sparks from a
dcvlco which was being demonstrated
to her by a clerk. Flro Chief Wallace
and tho storo managor wero of the
opinion that tho pieces woro Ignited
by nn arc light.
immediately following tho explo
sion an alarm of flro was sounded and
a panic seized tho hundreds of clerks
and shoppers. A mad rush wns mnde
for tho doors and windows. Many
jumped from tho second and third
floor windows.
Tho Btore, which Is located near
tho busiest corner In tho downtown
district, was well filled with shop
pers, moBtly women and children.
Practically all of tho clorka woro
young girls. Although tho explosion
of the fireworks caused consternation,
the real panic did not occur until
Bomo one shouted "Fire."
For an Instant a hush camo over
tho crowd. Then women screamed,
soino fainted and sudden fear over
came them. Crazed by the possibility
of death, all on tho main floor rushed
to tho front and rear doors. Quickly
they wero Jammed In tho. front door
way. During tho jam those who had
attempted to escape by tho rear door
were blocked In their progress. Tho
back door was too small for all who
sought safety thero and tho rear win
dows wero closed with Iron bars.
Those who could not escape in this
direction, turned to tho front door.
While practically every ono on tho
main floor was able to leavo without
Injury through the front door, it was
mainly because of the Jam nt that
door that tho seven unfortunato onos
lost their lives. Two of tho clerks,
seeing no possibility of Immediate es
cape at the front door, ran to tho
basement. Tho basement windows
also wero barred with iron, nnd tholr
return to the main floor was cut off
by the npproach of tho flames. Tho
other women, again forced to tho
rear of tho store by tho approaching
flames, finally sought safety under a
counter, whoro their bodies wero
found two hours after tho explosion.
The five women had been Buffocated.

Two Hundred and Fourteen Bodies
Recovered at Yusovo.
The bodies of 214 persons, recovered
from the Rlkovsky mine, which wns
tho scene of an explosion of gas, wero
burled nt Yusovo, Russia.
The horror of the situation was
added' to by Are, which broke out in
the shaft. It penetrated the Inner
galleries, where 150 men were impris
oned, and made tho efforts of the res
cue parties almost useless. In tho
distance, from behind heaps of fallen
debris, could be heard cries for help
all day. Fifty-three moro bodies were
taken out, all horribly mutilated.
Some of the men had been burned to
death, while the heads and limbs of
others had been torn off by the forco
of tho explosion. Seventy-five wound
ed .wore taken out and removed to
hospitals. Of these, ten succumbed
during the day and many others aro
in a precarious condition. Three
women, who stood at the mouth of
tho pit and recognized tho bodies of
their husbands, dropped dead from
the shock. A number of others have
gone mad.
REBELS WIN IN PARAGUAY
Revolutionists Install Dr. Navelro as
President.
Advices received at Buenos Ayres,
Argentine, state that tho revolution
ists have been victorious In Paraguay
and that a new government has been
established. These advices have been
confirmed by a dispatch received by
the minister of foreign affairs from
tho Argentina legation at Asuncion,
officially notifying tho minister that
the revolutionary party had succeeded
In overthrowing the Paraguayan gov
ernment and that several of the Para
guayan ministers of state had taken
refuge In the legation. The revolu
tionists have appointed as president,

streets of Asuncion for some days
past and many of the public buildings
have been seriously damaged. Pre
vious estimates of the killed and In
jured have been exaggerated, and It
is now believed that the number will
not exceed COO.
