Five Persons Burned to Death While
Many Others Have Miraculous Es-
capes.
CHICAGO, March 22-Another victim is
added to the list of fatalities connected with
the burning of the Langham House last
night The body Of John Hennessy, an
employee of Faxon & Co., was recovered
from the ruins this afternoon. He was
one of the party buried beneath the falling
wall and was found crushed beneath a heavy
piano. The dead are: John Hennessy,
single; William Bean, married; Mrs.
Belknap and Fire Insurance Patrol
man Walsh and Edward Jones,
both single. Mrs Belknap might have been
saved, but became wild with fright and
leaped from a fifth story window to
the street while ladder was being raised.
Nothing is known of her identity further
only been at the hotel few days Her
neck was broken by the fall. A blind man
named Thompson, an employee of the hotel,
also travelling man are missing. The tray
cling mans baggage saved from the hotel
offices bears the initials cd. R. B. - which is
all that is known of him. He was seen to
enter the building when the alarm sounded
and has not yet appeared to claim
the baggage Had the fire occurred later
in the evening the loss of life must have been
appalling. As it was most of the guests and
attaches of the house had already retired to
bed and only escaped in their night dress.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hools, of Cincinnati, had a
miraculous escape. Both are cripples and
unable to walk. Mr.. Hoole is a member
of the firm of Snider & Hoole. of
this city. When the fire broke
out Mr.. Martindale, cashier of the firm, was
on business visit to their room on the
fourth floor. He caught the invalids one
under each arm and carrying them to the
elevator started down. They rushed into the
very heart of the fire, however, and the. car
became as hot an oven. Reversing the
motion they tried the third floor, but found
the door locked. Martindale threw him
self against it, broke it open
and dragged the couple down three
flights of stairs into the street. Mr. andMrs.
Sears, of Salt Lake City, were hemmed in
by the flames and thought death certain.
They were about to administer laudanum
when the fremen reached their window.
Mrs. Murray, wife of J. A Murray,
travelling passenger of the West
Shore railroad, climbed down the
entire length of the fire escape unas-
sisted with her little son clinginp
to her neck. The pecuniary loss will not
vary materially from that reported last
night and probably aggregates $3.50 600
The heaviest losers are Howard & Cum
mings, o. NJ. Shaw & Sons, hotel proprie-
tors, and the Harden hand grenade com.
pany.

THE ELECTRICAL AGE.

Wonders of Electricity to be Realized
Before Many Years.
From Van Nostrand's Magazine
The possible applications of the principle
of the electrical transmission of power are
almost numberless. We shall, it is believed,
at no distant date, have central stations,
possibly situated at the bottom of coal pits,
where enormous steam engines will drive
many electric machines. We shall have
wires laid along every street, the electricity
tapped into every house, and the electricity
used in each house registered gas is at
present. The storage battery will fill the
place corresponding to the gasometer in the
gas system, making the current steady, rem
dering the consumer independent of the If
regular action or stoppages of the dynamos
of the central station, and enabling the use
of dynamos of the highest tension, l. e., those
which produce the currents of the greatest
intensity. The electricity will be passed
machinery, to produce ventilation, TO replace
stoves, and to work all sorts of apparatus, as
well as to give everybody an electric light.
Solar heat will be used to run the dynamos
in the cloudless regions. Everywhere the
powers of the tides and such water falls as
MUM to be anticipated when the water power
of a country shall be available at every door?
Steam, which in the last century has con-
ferred SO many benefits on the world, will
give way before electricity. The dynamo
will replace the steam engine. This predic-
ton seems wild and visionary, yet when
steam was first thought of as an available
force it's advocates were considered, just
as the advocates of dynamical electricity
to-day are considered, mere enthusiasts. But
public opinion never stops the march of in
tellect. After it hsd proved the powers of
steam to be enormous, genius never halted,
more wonderful discoveries in the realms of
electricity.
The prophetic ken of science was happily
exhibited by DIR. Lardner in his treatise on
the steam engine PHILOSOPHY, said he,
half century, ago 'falready directs her fingers
at sources of inexhaustible power in the phe-
nomena of electricity and magnetism, and
many causes combine to justify the expecta-
ton that we are on the eve of mechanical
discoveries still greater than any which have
yet appeared; and that the steam engine it
self, with the gigantic powers conferred upon
it by the immortal Watt, will dwindle into
insignifcance in com parison with the hidden
powers of nature still to be revealed, and
that the day will cone when the machine
which is now extending the blessings of civ
ilization to the most remote skirts of the
globe will cease to have existence, except in
the page of history"
To-day we are beginning to appreciate the
truth of this prophecy To-day see dyna-
mical electricity in the forefront of the phys
ical sciences. The principal of the transmits
sion of power by electricity fast approaches
its realization. We are, in truth, just enter
ing uDOn a wonderful ACE

Impressive Funerak Rites over a Sal
Walton Army Sergeant.
DOVER, N. H., March 22.-The hallelujah
funeral of Sergeant J. E. Wheedon of the
Salvation Army occurred to-day. His Last
request was that he should be buried under
the auspices of the army. At 2 p. m. the
army with fifty lone in the ranks turned out
with white satin instead of Grape on their
arms, their flags at half mast and headed by
the Dover cornet band proceeded to the
house of the deceased from whence the
casket was carried on bier instead of in a
hearse by six sergeants to the barracks where
the ceremonies took place. The services
were very impressive and at times half the
audience were in tears. The hall was packed.
The procession then formed and went to the
grave where further ceremonies took place
and three salvation volleys were fired over
the grave. An immense crowd was on the
streets and followed the cortege Tonight
memorial services were held in the barracks
with the band in attendance, the hall again
being packed
