CHICAGO, Aug. 12,-The fact is made
public to-day that the Chinamsn, who
was supposed TO be afflicted with leprosy,
arrived in Chicago week ago, coming
direct from San Francisco, and was
taken to Hong Lees laundry. Three
days ago a man went into the laundry to
get some clothing. The strange China
man arose from couch under the cOun-
ter. His scantY clothing relealed hOr-
rible sore on the side of his neck.
Through his thin shirt his af-
fictsd arms and back could
be seen. The man who had called for
his clothing withdrew in alarm and has
tened to find Mr.. Hartze, a medical
friend who has just graduated from g
medical school at Louisville. Hartze
went to the laundry. Again the afflicted
chinaman arose from his couch under
the counter, ready to wait upon callers
THAT is a case of Leprosy," said
HartZe as soon as he saw the
chinaman. Hartze claims to
be familiar with the appearance of a
leper, having gained his knowledge OF
the disease, he says, while on a visit to
San Francisco. where he saw q great
many afflicted with the disease. At
Hong Lees laundry last night the two
cinnamon present claimed that the sup
posed 1eper had gone away during the
afternoon. They did not know where.

Wilkes BARRE Penn, Aug. 11-Inior.
mstion has just reached here that . ter
rible explosion Of gas took place in the
West Ehd Coal companyss mines this
morning at MOckaqua. fifteen miles from
miners were instantly killed and several
others dangerously injured.
Further intelligence of the disaster
says the fan engine that supplies fresh
air to the West End mine broke, de-
prtvlnG the miners of air. -Four men
have been brought TO the surface dead
and four or five more are still in the
mine and can not be reached, owing to
impure air. just before the night shift
went OF duty the fan broke. The boys
knew of this and so did the men of the
day shift before they entered the mine,
but notwithstanding this they went into
the mine, taking the great risk. There
were about thirty men In all who were
supplied with safety lamps, as it was
well known that gas would accumulate.
About seventy five men were in the mine
at the time when work began. The
workmen repairing the Fan were first
overcome with gas and in about an hour
later the same fate happened 70 many
more In the mine. Before the men fair
IL realized the danger more than twenty
were unconscious. Those who could
then escape did 30. Superintendent
John Teasdale and several of his men
became unconscious and we're with diff
iculty rescued. Others went down and
in the face of immense difficulties. and
in spite of being continually oVerpOwer-
ed with gas, got out ali but ten men.
Three of those brought out were dead |
and the other six are beyond doubt dead. |
