Last Nights Fire.

About $50 O'Clock last evening, there
was big excitement caused about the
corner OF Thirty.sixth and Eof streets
caused by the sound of an explosion
coming from the residence OF Dane
named Joseph Ocklack.
The facts are these: He had un.
screwed the top OF an oil lamp which
was still alight, and his wife was pour.
ing in oil when the oil from the can be.
came iynited and the can exploded,
throwing oil all about. Ocklack was
badly burned on the right hand and arm,
the flesh being almost in shreds. He
was taken to Brice's drug store and
properly fixed up, but it will be sons
time before he uses that member again.
The furniture OF the house was set
afire, but was readily extinguishsd, hut
not before an alarm had been sent in
from No. GO, to which the department
responded.

record the death oi some one caused by
carelessly playing about a train.
A distressing aud horrible accident OF
this nature occurred at Martins Ferry
Yesterday morning about II 30 O'c.Ock,
which resulted in the death of Harry
Schell, a bright and promising 'ad aye Il
s wears, son OF SalOoniSt near the depot.
The accommodation from Bellaire had
arrived ard was switching cars about.
The engine had bsCkt i MP and attached
to some cars which it was backing.
Harry was behind the cars to be backed,
and was not seen or heard until the cars
were in motion, when a sharp cry OF
agony was heard and the little fellow
was found on the track. The car wheels
had passed over his stomach, completely
severing the upper from the lower part
of his body. His death was, of course,
an instant one, and the remains were
carried to his iaIher's house.
Thus another lesson is afforded, and
il is hoped that some may take warning
The railroad company is entirely re-
lieyed from all fault or blame. The C..
& P. road is very careful about such
matters, and has printed warnings about

LAST Saturnay evening a deed WAS
committed in the Sixth ward, the per
petrator OF which should be summarily
dealt with. Charles Jack, workman
residing up Caldwells Run was passing
up Twenty ninth street when
he met J. NJ. Watson who
after passing Jack. turned, and slipping
up behind him, dealt him fearful blow
in the back OF the head. 1t was 30
severe that Jack was not able 10 talk for
day and half and physician had to
be called in; last night he was better.
Early IN the evening he and Watson
had spoken a few words to each other,
but nothing to provoke an assault.
Watson was arrested by Williams last
night and the case will be up this
morning.

A Few Timslv Remarks to Those Con-

A. Few Timslv Remarks to Those Con-
tempiaims Building, anda Moral Drawn
From suuos 3 3 Condemnation.
Suuda, . FIRE Vas one Of the most dis
sstrous that has yer visited this city.
A stiff bree re was blowing at the time,
and this carried the haues from the rear
portion of the Schulz building toward
Inc front, when everything OF an in
flammable nature was shortly Ii 'ked up
by the devouring element Zach by
inch the flames erawled toward Market
street. and when at last the IRE burst in
all IFS fury IRON the front windows the
heat became SO intense that the build
ings on the opposite side OF the street
were several times threatened with de-
struction. In fact so great was the heat
occasioned by the roaring furnace that
the cornices Oi the structures
opposite became ignited frequently,
and it was with the greatest
difficulty and energy that they were
saved. But let US devote little space
TO the business houses on the south OF
the Schulz building. The Paxton Block
is somewhat lower than that Of Mr..
Schulz, and the fire,nen thought that the
high wall OF the latter building would
in a measure prevent the spreading OF
the flames below. With startling rapid
ity the flames erept on and at last the
cornice of the Schulz store fell prey to
the fiend. The cornice being OF wood
quickly communicated the flames to the
buildings on the south, whereas had one
of the Galvanized Iron Cornices, manu-
featured by Mr.. B. +. Caldwell, at l5t7
and 1909 Main street, been on the Schulz
house it would certainly have prevented
the flames from communicating to the
buildings below. Mr.. Caldwell makes
speciality of Galvanized Iron Cornices,
and to those contemplating building, or
those building and whose. structures are
not vet completed, we would say: by all
means secure the services OF Mr.. Caid-
we'll upon your cornices. No man knoSs
at what hour his property may De Ell
veloped in flames, and therefore II Is
wise to take time by the torelock. Inc
reason is obvious: Had that one li!tle
item, that insignificant little cornice'
been fireproof, the damage by the con-
flapration would in a great degree have
been lessened. The cornices manutac'
tured by Mr.. Caldwell at the same time
combine two important features: safe
ty and beauty, and many OF the hand;
somely ornamental structures here ana
elsewhere attest the completeness oil his
facilities for doing this kind OF work.
All history tells us that "seli-preserya-
ton is the first law OF nature" and a
word to the wise in this connection
should be sufficient. -.
No recommendation to the PUBLIC OF
this firm is required. Mr.. Caldwell has,
for many years past, been one OF our
most energetic and I've business mer,
and during all his business career in
this city, and in fact during all his life,
be- has maintained that priceless gem
spotless character, and we have not
the slightest hesitation in saying that
every one will meet with the fairest and
best treatment at his hands should they
see fit to patronize his establishment.

IN active pursuit OF pleasure or gain
the inestimable blessing OF health is toe
often forgotten until disease is firmly
seated, and the fact only realized by
great bodily and mental suffering. The
Liver is the vulnerable point in most
persons, and the disarrangement OF the
organ involves almost the whole sys
tenn; hence the reason why under the
Liver disease there is enumerated such
a number OF sfiiictions, and we claim
the Simmons Liver Regulator to be 6

The seventh Ward Hose House.

The Committee on Fire Department
met at the City Building last evening
and opened the bids for the building OF
the Seventh ward hose house according
to the plans submitted by Architect
Howard.
Chairman Criswell, Chief Eccles and
Messrs. Cunning, Wolyington, Haller,
Cracraft and Robinson were present,
also Mayor Egeiter and Mr.. Howard.
Some time was spent before coming to
order, in pleasantly recounting the va
rious experiences Of the members at the
Market street fire, etc. After being called
to order the following bids were opened

Armstrong, Coen & Co.. all work-.......- 1913 90
The bid of Armstrong, Coen & Co. for
the entire work, S4,97S, was accepted 4,
and the proper bonds and contracts will
be executed. The reason for taking this
bid in preference to the lowest single
bids, was because there were no bids in
for the stone work. 1t would very like
ly have brought the amount up to the
figure accepted. This action will be
presented 10 Council this evening for
confirmation in order that work may at
once commence, as the season is ad-
yancing to a close very rapidly.
The revised plans show a very neat
and tasty ediice, but nothing like the
handsome building formerly contem-
plated. The tower has been taken off
and bsltry substituted and the horses
are stabbed on the sides, while the bath
tubs and other fancy but convenient ar
rangements are taken out.
The committee transacted some other
unimpor,snt business and adjourned to
60 and see the fire in South Wheeling.
