THE OLD STORY.

An Exploding Can of Coal Oil Nearly
Causes the Death of Mrs. j. Donahue.
Coal oil, gasoline, or some other highly
combustible fluid, came near causing the
death of Mrs. John DJnahue, wife of the
groceryman at Twelfth and D streets, last
evening.
She was engaged in pouring the oil from
a can, when the fumes became ignited from
lamp near by, causing an explosion. The
burning oil flew over her, and but for the
fact that aid was at hand she would have
suffered terrible death.
Blankets were thrown about her and the
fire smothered, but not before her face sno
hands were terribly burned. An alarm
was turned in and the fire department re
sponded, but the flames in the room hso
been extinguished when the firemen ar
rived.

An Enlivening Performance by Couple
of Colored Minstrels.
The Cleveland Ministries gave free show
at the depot yesterday. 1t was one-act
drama, with a touch of tragedy in it. 1t
had but two actors, one regular member of
the company, and the other sort of "supe'
who had travelled with the gang from the
wilds of Texas. 1t was learned that the
former had been robbed of some $50 by
the latter, who was a sort of protege of his,
bat had given him cold shake when the
company was here last week.
The troupe were passing through the city
yesterday, when the minstrel and his former
friend met at the depot. A razor flashed
in the air over the ninstrel's head as he
made for his despoiler, but the latter kept
out of his way, and lively chase ensued.
The Texan was too fleet for his pursuer,
and finally the latter gave up the attempt
to catch and carve him, and joined his
companions as the train pulled out

A. H. Carroll, or Cousins, as he says his
true name is, the individual who so
brutally beat his mistress on Monday, was
granted continuance of one day in the
Police Court yesterday.
His victim was also in Court, and her
bruised and swollen features gave her a
most repulsive appearance. 1t was evident
from her demeanor that she does not de-
sire to prosecute her brutal paramour, but
the authorities are determined that he shall
receive his just deserts, and will push the
case energetically.
A charge of vagrancy has been entered
against him in addition to the one upon
which he was arrested

1t Was Not a Mere Scare.

There appears to have been some ground
for the report that there were burglars
about Tenth and o streets on Monday
night. 1t seems that DR.. Cooksley, the
oculist, had been away from his home for
a short time, and on returning found his
front door bolted against him.
Officer Wagner came along and tried to
unlock the door. but couldn't, Cooksley de-
claring that there were burglars inside.
Wagner went around and found the rear
door open, and some boys said they saw
two men run out and climb over the fence
about the time the DR.. tried to open his
front door.
There was nothing missing from the
house. the thieves not having had time to
do any ransacking.

Since Beecher, it is doubtless true that
Mr. Cook is the greatest living lecturer.
Not only in American cities, but in those
of Great Britain, Australia and British H.

other living man has done. Ii is idle to
praise Joseph Cook, and it is not probable
that there will be seat TO spare on the

What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
1ating in the glands of the neck, produces I'M
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
1t Is the most general of all diseases affections
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
eften when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections Of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled and some of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial.
