Death in Philadelphia of George

W. Childs.

The Famous Journalist and Philanthro. pist Succumbs' to an Attack of Paralysis—Account of His : . Career and Work. . . HE WAS A MAN BELOVED. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5. —G. W. Childs, proprietor of the Public Ledger, died this morning at 3:01 o’clock at his residence at the southea,stß corner of Twenty-second and Walnut streets from the effects of a stroke of paralysis sustained by him Janvary 19. George William Childs was born in Baltimore, Md., May 12, 1829. He was educated at' private schools in his native city, and when 14 years old removed to Philadelphia. Soon afterward he became a clerk in a book store and :ﬁ,er a service of four years there opened small store of his own in the old Ledgez_{ building at Third and Chestnut streets. In due time he became a publisher of books and at the

CHILDS. , ' age of 21 was at the head of the firm of Childs & Peterson. Even at that early day Mr. Childs’ ambitiohs and inclinations were well formed., He had decided to be a newspaper publisher, and it is related that soon after he engaged in business in the Ledger building he stated that some day he intended to be the proprietor of the paper.. But meaniwhile he achieved considerable success in the pubiishing business—many of the works issued by Childs & Peterson being of intrinsic excellence, among them being “Dr. Allicone’s Dictionary of English and American Authors.” - Other standard works were brought out in profusion. ° In 1863 Mr. Childs retired from the firm and the foliowing-years witnessed the consummation of ‘his cherished ambition—he was the owner of the Philadeiphia Public Ledger. True, when he acquired control of the property the Ledger was unremunerative; but soon after his energy, his enterprise and his determination to make {t succeed won him abundant success. /The Ledger sprang suddenly into public favor and has continued to this day the most proiitable newspaper in Philadelphia, and, indeed, one of the best paying in the United States. Ee

At his own expense Mr. Childs caused a stained glass window t¢ be placed in Westminster Abbey in commemoration of the poets,” William Cowper and George Herbert, and he also caused a manument to be placed over the hitherto unmsarked grave of Leigh Hunt in Kensal Green. He rendered a similar service to jhe memory of Edgar Allan Poe, and was the largest subscriber to the fund collected in this : country by Gen . Wilson and in England by Samuel C. Hall' for the purpose of placing a memortal window for the poet Thomas Nocore in the church in Bromham, where Moore and ‘‘Bessie’’ are interred. In 1868 he gavg to the Philadelphia Typographical society tie printers’ cemetery, Woodlands, with a liberil sum, the interest on which is 10 be expended in keeping the grounds in order. : .

Mr. Childs took an especial interest in the printers, and nowhere will his death be more deeply deplored than in the composing rooms. It-was well that he ‘should provide (a resting place for the” printer after death, but he did better—imade provisions for such of them as became . unequal to the struggle for life. In company with the late. A. J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, he endowed the Printers’ home at Colorado Springs, Col. They -gave $lO,OOO to start the fund and the Typographical union made up the remainder by assessments, providing for the maintenance of the home in like manner. o ;

The holiday season was the most delightful | portion of the year to him, for it was then he had the greatest opportunity for giving., His employes always received a Christmas gift of from $lO to $5OO in their pay envelopes Christ- ' mas week. : St Mr. Childs attributed his success to the fact that he always attended to his own business / and never interfered with others. He had two proverbs which were the guiding rules of his conduct. One was: ‘Do your best; let go the rest.’”” The other was: ‘‘What can’t be cured must be endured.’’ - Another secret of his success was the carz he gave his men. Those who worked honestly and faithfully for him always received more than their stipulated salaries. He always gave them every encourage- : ment to make them successful. He watched . their personal habits. Af they were not inclined to save he tempted them to become economical by making good investments for them, .so that they were obliged to save in order to carry on the investment. As a rule all of the employes of the Ledger who have ; familes live in houses of their own bought ! and paid for by Mr. Childs, who, in return, has only received back: the principal advanced. : He insured the lives of all the principal men ! of his paper and paid the premiums himself. | Some of the leading men in his office have | such insurance upon their lives to the amount ! of §25,000. This kind proprietor watched more carefully after the interests of those under ! him than the average man ‘looks after himself. | Hé paid them all good wages; he lodged ; them in the most luxurious of quar- | ters; he never made . “an’ over-de- | mand - upon their,6 attention; he insured their lives for their families; he bought them ! homes and established them, and when they ! were hroken down with the steady grind of : their daily work he sent them off for a vaca- ; tion with their families and paid the expenses of these families as well as their own, When they became old and broken down in his serv- : ice he retired them upon fuil pay. No man in the United States in an unofficial - capacity ever had a wider or a more intimate f acquaintance with great men than Mr. Childs. ' His friendskip for Gen. Grant was most notable, particularly when the general met with | the reverses which hastened his death. !

Mr. Childs’ private office in the Ledger build- | ing was little less than a museum, the. exhibits | being mementos of the many great men in lit- ! erature, art, statecraft and war who esteemed | him as a friend or benefactor. It was a great : blow to -the owner when fire destroyed the | Ledger office, and with it most of these treas- | ures, and the whole country sympathized with ! him. - i

TWO MEN KILLED.

Fatal Explosion of Dynamite on the Illi. pois Drainage Canal Cuicaco, Feb. 6.—By two accidental explosions #f a dynamite cartridge in a cut on se:]:[m(n 13 of the drainage canal near Réunieo Saturgay noon two men were killed and three injured. One of the two men killed; an Italian laborer, was horribly mangled and died instant-

ly, the other, Contractor Comer, died at 11:15 Sunday night. The wounded men were all Italian laborers.” The accident occurred at 11:43 a. m. Saturday. Contractor Comer was watching a gang of a dozen laborers engaged in ‘‘mucking” in one corner

of the cut. “Mucking,” it may be explained, is gathering up the rock - loosened by the blast and loading it into large buckets that hold a ton, which are hoisted up irom the ditch and off to one side and dumped. Tesavi, the laborer who was killed, was using- a pick, the others were using crowbars or picking up pieces and tossing them into the bucket. Tesavi aimed a blow at a point in‘the debris near which there had been a charge. As the pick struck the rock there was a deafening explosion that filled the air with fragments of the rock. Tesavi ‘and the half dozen men standing nearest him were hurled a dozen feet away, and the others of the squad of laborers were thrown violently to the ground. ‘Five of them f{failed to rise when the ‘smoke and dust of the explosion had cleared away. s . All together there were forty men at work in the pit when the explosion oecurrved. For a moment they were: too frightened to do anything, but they quickly recovered and hurried to the rescue of the injured. Tesavi, who was using the pick, was so frightfully mangled and so covered with the dirt and dust that he was scarcely recognizable as a human being. His principal wound was a great gaping hole in the ' abdomen, ® through which a fragment of rock as large as a man’s fist had plowed its way. His face. was battered into a pulp and his body-was literally covered with wounds and bruises. Upon examination by the coroner Saturday it was found that there were fully 500 wouads upon his: body. : Contractor Comer was standing 40 ‘feetaway when the explosion came. A fragment of rock, weighing, perhaps, fifty ~ pounds, struck . him_ in the right illiac region and a smaller piece struck him on tue abdomen near:the right hip and penetrated to the peritoneum. He was knocked senseless. He was picked up and carried to the office of the firm, 100 yards away. Dx. J. H. Browning, ‘the surgeon 'of the works, was sent for. He chanced to be’ in another part of the camp at the timne and did not reach Mr. Comer for thirty minutes. By that time he had recovered consciousness and was suffering excrutiating agony. His entire right side was badly discolored and covered with blood from the wound made Ly the smaller stone.. He lingered thirtysix Hours, retaining consciousness neatly to the last, and expired at 11:15 .Sunday night. - . Christopher Tesavi, a cousin of the man, was so covered with wounds the surgeons were obliged to swathe his face and the upper part of his body in white, leaving only his nose free. Dr. Browning . counted forty separate wounds upon his face. ' - The wounds of the three injured were dressed and they were made as comfortable as possible in the rude office until Sunday noon, when carriages were procured from Lockport and they were removed to the hospital at Joliet. All will recover. - S ' ~ No one is blamed for the a,cciden,& which was caused hy one of the charges of dynamite used in blasting missing fire. Four cartridges containing twelve ounces of dynamite each were placed in the solid rock on Saturday and - fired. For some reason one of 'the charges failed to explode. The remaining were sufficient to ° tear away the rock, and of course it was not possible to know that the other charge remained, so the workmen began their task of clearing away the debris. When that part of the debris was reached where the unexploded charge lay it was examined and as the rock looked as if it had been fired the workinen kept on with no thought of danger until Tesavi’'s pick struck a cartridge with such deadly effect. !

Anarchist Vaillant Pays the Exe treme Penalty for His Crime.

Led to the Guillotine and Beheaded in Paris for Throwing a Bomb Into & the French Chamber of Deputies, : :

i "VAILLANT EXECUTED. 1 Paßris, Feb. 6. — Vaillant, the anarchist, was guillotined at 7:10 o'clock this morning at La Roquette prison. There was no disturbances Vaillant's last words as he was led to' the guillo-

tine were: ‘‘Death to the boilirgeoise. ! Long live anarchy.” ‘ i All the streets adjoining the Place de ! la Roquette had been 'cleared by the 5 police and the immense crowds ha{di been pushed into side streets. The po- ! lice forcé on duty is unprecedented. - ' The execution of Vaillant was determined upon yesterday. The news was ‘ only known late last evening. The i people began gathering soon -after- , ward, and the.crowd kept increasing i rapidly in size until 2 o'clock this! morning, when a fine rain commenced ! to fall. "Workmen then started in 'to‘.l erect barricades across all streets leading into the square from which the peo- { ple were driven by the police at 2:50 a. i m. At that hour the gardes republic- | aine arrived on the scene. | The cafes and wine shops were all | crowded with the lowest class of citizens, who loudly commented upon the injustice of sending Vaillant to the guillotine, as he had killed nobody. Four companies of [the gardes republicaine and a squadron of mounted gardes formed around the square. Meanwhile the crowd continued to" increase and signs of approaching turbulence on its part were noticeable. ' An ugly rush of men and women up the Rue de la Roquette took place at 4 o’clock, but- was stopped by the police. M. Deibler, the executiongr, appeared in a frock coat and high hjat 3:20. He | was on foot. - A few minutes later the ! two® familiar vans rumbled into the square. They brought the guille: 1 tine and Deibler’'s son, son-in-law and two other assistants. M. Deibler ‘ went to one van, and by the lightofa lanterr examined the knife and ropes as they were brought out. The con-} struction of the guillotine proceeded rapidly and silently but for the occan--l siomal thud of a piece of wood falling into place. R Diebler superintended carefully 'the: erection of the guillotine and watched closely the setting of the two 15-feet posts and -the arrangement of the pulley that worked the knife. At 7 o’clock the guards appeared with the prisoner, and.after conversing with M. Diebler - for about two minutes Vaillant was led to the guillotine. / : l He was conducted from the cell in | the prison de la Rochette, where he has | been immured, to the guillotine. The criminal was placed in position, the | signal was given, and in a second the ‘knife descended. @ The head dropped and the life of a self-confessed enemy ; of society, religion and all other insti- ‘ .se . 5 | tutions of civilization was at an end, and a terrible example was set to others of his kind in the nations of the . * s world. | Vaillant’'s crime was committed. in the chamber .of deputies December 9 last. About 4 o'clock in the .afterncon of that day, while the chamber was discussing an eleection case, Vaillant, who 'was sitting in one of the galleries set apart for the use of spectators, threw a bomb toward the floor of the house. The bomb exploded just as it left the miscreant’s hand and he was among the number injured. Fifty persons weére hurt by the explosion. Deputy Abbe Lemire was the worst injured of those struck by the flying nails, with which the [bomb had been loaded, and for some time it was thought he would 'die. Count de Lanjunais was also Seriously wounded. A majority of the‘injured were occupants of the gal-. leries. ; . S A wild rush was made by the visitors to get out of the chamber, but the gendarmes caused the doors to be shut and allowed no one to leave the builaing. It was due to this cool-headedness' that the arrest of Vaillant was made. As he attempted to leave the. building he was detdined by a gendarme who thought he was displaying too much anxiety to get away. He was taken to the Hotel Dieu, where his wounds were treated. After a time he made a full confession. of his crime. He said he went to the chamber with the- intention of throwing hig infernal machine on the president’s table. He waited more than an hour for a favorable opportunity, and then, thinking it had at last arrived, he rose and hurled the bomb into tlie body of the house. At that moment a woman sitting in front of him, resenting his leaning over her, pushed back, and thus prevented his throwing the bomb exactly as he had inten(;ec_i. The machine struck the edge of the gallery and at once exploded. e The afternoon of January 10 Vaillant was arraigned, tried, convicted and sentenced to death. Eighty deputies appealed to President Carnot for -the commutation of the death sentence. The appeal was sent by the president to the pardons committee, which reported on it adversely. Vaillant’s lawyer. asked the court of cassatio® to grant a new trial. but, January 25, the court denied there quest. Many efforts were made to induce Vaillant to appeal to the president, but he refused to do so. ‘ L FOR THEIR SISTER'S HONOR.
