and George Arntz was within call outside
the vat. The men on the inside bad been at
work nearly an hour, when suddenly a puff,
as OF a slight explosion, was followed by
shrieks. Brown appeared at the bole with
bis clothes and beard on fire, aud scrambled
through. He was followed by a toasue of
flames, through which Arntz pulled out John
Pfauner by main strength. Beslar and
Wintschurck were rescued with difficulty,
being too badly burned TO help themselves.
Arntz was seve ely burned about the bands.
The fire in The vat soon went cut, and other
workmen carried the injured men into the
engine room and covered the bodies, from
which the skin peeled of with their CLOTHES,
with oil and cots on. As soon as an ambu-
lance could be procured by the police, the
four men who had been ia The vat, were
taken to the Bellevue hospital. Arntz went
to the st. Francis hospital himself, aod had his
hands ban6aged. As to the cause Of The f'e,
many different theories were advanced. The
oil in the lamp was non-explosive la'd oil,
and the story That It exploded, as told by one
of the burned men,was snown to be unifae. 1t
is probable that the fumes from tine inflamma-

thus communicated to tpe open can ia which

1t it worth while that we jostle a brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
1t it worth while that we jeer at each other,
In blackness of heart that we wal to the
knife?
God pity us all in our Gitiless s.rife.
God pity us all as we jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the ,triumphs we feel
When a fellow goes down meath his load on
the heather,
Pierced to the heart; Words are keener than
steel,
And m1ghtier far for woe or for veal.
Were it not well, in this nrief little journey
On over the isthmus, down into the tide.
We give him a fish instead of a serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever and aye in the dust by his side?
Look at the roses ~saluting each ether:
Look at the herds all at peace on the plain
Man, and man only, makes war on his
brother,
And laughs in his heart at his peril and
pain;
Sham'd by the beasts that go down on the
plain.
Is it worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow soldlerdswn into dus
God pity us all! Time eftsoon will tumble
All OF us together, like leaves in a gust,

An Adventure Oh the Plains.
From the Greeley (Col.) Eye.

From the Greeley COl.) Eye.
A correspondent writing from down the
Platte relates this: "a few evenings ago a
family here were startled by the sudden
opening of their door and the rushing in of
a man, barefooted and covered with ice,
exclaiming: oh, God, I am frozen!' Apol-
ogizing for his abrupt intrusion, he made
the following explanation: He had come
from Sidney by the mail hack the week be-
fore, but could not get his baggage across
the river: Wanting a change of clothes, he
procured team and set out to get them;
drove to the river bank and proceeded
across on foot. On his return, it havin
become dark, he fell through the ice and
got we'll soaked. After getting ashore,
thinking it advisable to change, he pulled
off his boots, but his neither garments re-
fused to come; they were frozen to him.
In the meantime his boots had frozen SO
hard that he could not replace them. He
was in bad fix, mile from any house,
barefooted and the mercury away below re-
70. Jumping into his wagon he drove to
the nearest lights, arriving there badly
scared, and almost frozen to DEATH"
