MADE BLIND IN AN INSTANT.
The Terrible Blow That Fell Upon a
Cincinnati Bookkeeper.
From az Cincit1nnti Enonlrer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A catastrophe such as few men have the
stoicism to bear and few survive, has come
like thunderclap upon Charles Cullman
of 50 Browne street Last Saturday night,
while auditing the books of the Bellevue
building association, at their rooms on
McMicken avenue, he turned suddenly to
one Of the bystanders aud angrily ex
claimed:
"Why do you turn out the gas' I'm not
through yet"
Turn out the gas! What's the matter
with you? The gas is burning"
''My God, then Pm blindP' cried Gull
man, and, sinking back in his chair, from
which he had arisen IN his excitement, he
buried his face in his hands and moaned and
wept like child.
DR.. Schwartmeyer, his regular physician,
was hastily sent for, and only arrived to
confirm the worst fears.
Cullman was indeed blind.
Without a premonitory sign, without a
warning, the blow had come, and as he sat
there bemoaning his sad fate, eyes grew
dim. Friends took him by the hand and
trembled with emotion as they tried to speak
words of hope and comfort. The stricken
man only moaned, "My wife! My little
onesm
A diagnosis followed, and it was discov-
cred that Cullman had for some time been
a sufferer from Bright's disease of the kid
neys. The exudations OF the albumen from
these organs caused uramic blood poison
ing, which gradually pervaded the whole
system of the sufferer. Step by step the
disease spread, and contraction of the kid
neys followed, resulting in Inflammation of
the retina or optic nerve, hopelessly destroy
ing the sight forever. The case, although
not an isolated enc, is extremely rare, death
generally ensuing before such a crisis ar

FIRE +!
Burning of the Ice Factory,
the Rice Mill Attached and
the L.. g. Hoop and Stnve
Factory.

On last Saturday evening about three
O'Clock a fire alarm was sounded, first
by the steamer Hazel, which was fol-
lowed by the ringing of the fire bells of
the various companies in town. Rush
ing to the street we soon saw the smoke
rising in the direction of the ice factory.
All was excitement. Steam Fire Co.
No. l, the Young American, Pelican
and the Babcocks. Here they go Get
out Of the way They all got there in
time to save Mr.. Drew's mill property.
The ice factory was running and it is
thought the fire caught in some way
about the furnace in the dry shavings
used for fuel. It soon consumed the
ice factory and steam rice mill adioin-
ing and then burned to the hoop and
stave factory. Before making its leap,
however, from tho hoop and stave
factory to Drew's mill, which was only
few steps, the fire companies arrived
ana soon put check - 1t.
The steamer Edna was lying at the
wharf near by and in reach of the fire,
but fortunately, Capt. Hawkins saw
the steamer Ramos coming up from the
Pass, and calling her by, cable was
made fast to the Edna and she was
pulled to a place of safety.
The ice factory and Rice mill was
the property of Prof A. Thomson, who
is now in the North. What the loss is
we are unable to say, and it is not
known whether the property was in
sured or not, however, it will amount
to several thousand dollars. Messrs.
Kinder & Mccormick lost about lao
kegs of beer which they had on ice.
The hoop and Rtave factory was
owned by a company. Total loss is
estimated at about $4,000.
Abou 2 o'clock on Sunday morning
another fire occurred causing wake up
of the city. 1t originated in a small
warehouse continuing oil principally,
in the rear of the Sunny South saloon,
on Ryan street. 1t burned rapidly and
made quite fire for q while, but the
timely arrival of the FIRE department
prevented it from spreading to the adj
joining buildings. The Phoenix reached
the fire at the ice factory first, and the
Pelicans reached the fire on Ryan
street first. Both OF these companies
did excellent work, and, but for the
prompt action of the Pelicans and the
bucket brigade, the fire on Ryan street
would have been a very destructive
affair,
