A DELICATE TERROR.
The Remark Made by a Child to 8
Lady in Love.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
He was delicate little chap and he had not
much appetite. He was one of the ethereal
children with fair hair and pale, interesting
faces, with an angelic appearance, who are in
variably holy terrors in the house. This an
gelic child, whom other children's mother adj
miredandwho provoked envyof his mother in the
general female breast, couldn't safely be taken
anywhere. He was sure to make some break.
But he had little appetite, and the only way they
could get him to eat was by soaring him into it.
They had kept him alive by lodges, 30 to speak.
All else failing, they decided to put him into
trousers. He was plain man-chiid and crazy
to get into boys suit. They got him one and
told him il he did not eat he would not fill his
clothes. He ate he forced himself to eat: he
was so afraid they would take them away
again. His mother took him with her to
visit some friends. There was a beautiful.
modest, charming, innocent young lady,
Innocence is development in women. Il
disappears from men at an early age. The
more woman knows the more innocent she
becomes. The party was at dinner and the
delicate little cuss was sitting there gorging
and listening. The innocent young lady was
IN love or something. l suppose some inter-
estlng young man had squeezed her hand. or
said something tender, or done something
very silly, and she was not eating very heart
lily. They chided her gently on her want OF
appetite. Then the delicate little terror
looked across the table and said:
won't ut you"
They took him home.

Some women tainted, other tumbled in the

The Ebbitt House Fire Escapes.

C. G. Willard relative to the failure of the
Ebbitt house to comply with the law concern
ing the erection Of fire escapes. The letter was
referred to Chief Paris of the fire department
and Building Inspector Entwistle.
Today they forwarded their reply to Mr.. Will
lard, - follows:
''Your letter Of the 25th instant having been
referred to Us by the honorable Commissioners
for reply, We have the honor TO state that when
we made the inspection Of the Ebbitt house, ss
required by the law, We found but one escape
that in our opinion was Of any. practical use In

We notified yeu to erect one on the west front.

and approved by the Commissioners of
the District Of Columbia. ~ the law requires
You have not complied with that order.
As 10 the vertical ladders, they cannot be classed

A BURST FURNACE.
Men Deluged i'm Flood of Molten Steel.

Furnace at the Carnegie works at Brad
dock, Pa, burst yesterday and probably
burned fatally Capt. W. Il. Jones, the manager,
and a number OF employees. No deaths have
yet resulted. but the physicians in attendance
give no hopes SO far as Capt. Jones is con-
cerned. Both eyes are believed to be DESTROYED
and his features are unacceptable. He was
removed to the homeopathic hospital in Pitts
burg. The furnace, one OF the largest of the
blast furnaces, gave way at the bottom, and
tons of molten metal, like water escaping from
a reservoir, ran out. The furnace had not been
working properly, and Capt Jones was working
with q number of men near the base of the fur
mace when the break occurred. In an instant
flames of fire shot forth and the hot metal ex-
ploded and fell like sheets Of water. Tons of
the molten metal poured out of the furnace,
and that any person near the furnace escaped
instant death is regarded as almost miraculous.
About six tons Of the molten metal poured out
OF the break. The terrible rush Of the liquid
steel knocked Mr.. Jones down into the pit.
Fortunately he fell between two trucks or he
would have been burned TO death instantly.
When removed from the pit his clothing had
been entirely burned from his body.
The 5000 workmen at the Edgar Thomson
steel works and hundreds of people in Braddock
are frantic with grief ON account of the injuries
which Capt. Jones has received Capt Jones
10 well known throughout the United States
and Europe. wherever iron and steel are manu-
featured. He receives a salary OF S25, 900 per
year and a percentage on the product of the
large mill, making his income almost ESQ. 600
year. It was he who took 800 men TO johns
town at his own expense a couple of days after
the food and remained there for a couple of
weeks directing the work OF rescue. He is per.
haps sixty years OF age.

The Right to Eject Unwelcome Visitors


Aphonso Eastwood, collector, was before
Judge Miller this afternoon as complaining
witness in the case Of Il. G. Edmonston, the
grocer, whom he charged with assault. Mr.
Eastwood charged that he went into nr. Ed
monston's store to collect bill, and that the
latter took him BY the back Of the neck and ths
seat Of his trousers and elected him from the
store. The court heard other evidence to show
that Eastwood was ordered from the store be-
fore he was forcibly elected. Lawyer Fields
argued the right to eject person from place
and the judge sustained him. The case was
therefore dismissed
