An Uncomfortable OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Caused By the Int nss Heat-An Explosion.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The premise,
extending from 227 to 23l East Fifty
sixth street was destroyed By fire this
morning. An explosion occurred in the
back part OF q cellar. The men who
were in the cellar ct the time fed for
their lives. One OF them named Daniel
Hinyan has not yet been heard from.
He is supposed to have persisted in the
flames. John Logan, another workman,
was badly burned about the head and
limbs. The building is five-story one. A
high elevator shaft unfortunately served
as a f1ue for the flames and so quickly did
they gain Roadway that within fifteen
minutes after the first alarm was sent
out the whole structure was ablaZe from
cellar to roof, and the heat from the
burning ter and felt and other infiam-
able materials stored on the upper part
of the building was so intense as to set
frs to fats adjoining on either side.
The fire is now under control.

But why should "Hogg and commits

A STRANGE story comes from near SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, concerning q farmer, who
died In ten minutes after being stung on
the nose by bee. 1t is also related con-
corning this farmer, that thirty-two
years ago he came near dying from bee
sting, and never after that did his pulse
beat faster than forty-fve times in a
minute. Thus does it appear that we are
fearfully and wonderfully made, and
that what is harmless to one is deadly
poison to another. Remember that you
don t know of what stuff you are made
until you are called a horse thief, or get
stung on the nose by a bee.

COUNTY.
Railroads have rights which the people
are bound to respect, and one of these is
that railroads shall not be compelled by
the officials or people of Texas to build
depots and switches to further the ends
of spectators. The Fort Worth and
Denver road has done more to settle this
state than any road in Texas, and it
will be difficult to convince Texas off,
Gals or Texas people that road which
has expended so many tens of thousands
of dollars to build Northwest Texas could
or would do aught that was injurious to
the section for which it has done and is
doing so much.
