Four Men Seriously Injured and House Set
on Fire.
A Chicago special says Just before
o'clock tonight Abe Kleinman, one
of the best shots in the country, stood
leaning into the window of the loading
room at Kleinman's Park, in Hyde
Park village, a suburb Of Chicago. In
the room wereR h. Organ, +. p. Taylor,
and Horace Silsby, all well-knOwn Chi
cago men. Outside were a good many
spectators Of a shooting match which
was in progress. Kleinman was ram
ming a wad into a paper shell contain
ing wood " powder, one of the con-
stituents of which is dynamite. The
conclusion Of the loading-t2l exploded
the powder. and almost instantly an
open can Of the same stuff standing
near by exploded. This was followed
by two other cans and n keg Of pow
der. Kleinman was blown twenty feet
backward, and brought up against
fence. One of the men in the room
was u4ONu lulOhpu al OptH hOOi iutO
the gun-room, and the other two were
hurled against the walls. Spectators
outside were also Knocked down.
When they regained their feet the build
ing was in flames. and the four men
who had been nearest the explosion
were cropping their way through the
smoke with their clothing blazing.
There was a panic among the specta-
tors, and many Of them ran madly to-
ward the gates. Those who remained
threw their coats over the four men and
put out the flames. All of them were
found to have been painfully though
not dangerously burned about the
head. organs injuries were the worst,
but his eyes were not touched. lie
and his three companions lost their
boards, moustaches. and eyebrows, and
Organ lost most of his hair. Their
escape from death is considered miracu-
louS.

There is one incident in the Primate's
life which he seldom touches on, but
which caused immense amusement at
the time it occurred. While Bishop Of
Richmond be was the defendant in a
suit relating to some church property.
When he was called to the witness
stand the plaintiffs lawyer, 4 distin-
guished legal luminsry, whs still shines
in Richmond, after vain endeavors to
involve the witness in contradic-
tons, struck on q plan which he
thought would annoy the Bishop.
He thercupon questioned DIR. Glib

his claim to the Office. The defendants

SOME lNClDEN1S Or HIS LIFE.
While Archbishop Gibbons presided
over the small country parish of Elk
ridge, near Baltimore, an incident oc.
CURED which gave him large measure
Of local fame. Smallpox broke out in
the village and general exodus imme-
diately followed. An old negro man at
the point Of death was deserted by his
family, who left him neither food nor
medicines. Father Gibbons heard of
the case, fastened to the bedside OF the
dying man, and remained with him till
the last, Nor was this all. No one
could be procured to carry the corpse to
the grave. Father Gibbons, seeing no
other alternative, determined to act IN
dertaker rs well as minister; 30, having
obtained coffin, he placed the body
therein, dragged it as well as he could
to the grave, performed the funeral rites
and buried it. His career as Vicar Of
North Carolina was filed with occur
rences equally as noteworthy, but Of a
humorous rather than pathetic nature.
He still talks with zest of his all-day
rides on horseback through the North
Carolina pines Of nights spent in the
fes-covered log cabins Of the negroes,
whose best accommodations consisted
Oft corn-husk bed, meals spread out
on the floor, and gourds for drinking
cups; of savory dinners Of fat bacon
and hoe-cakes, and Of other accomps-
niments Of missionary life among the
negroes Of that region.
