ly cleaned the building out. 1t is
owned by Ancil Il. Marvin, and was
leased on January 1 by Andrews
Bros, of Pennsylvania. 1t is four
story brick building, 5Ox2OO feet, with
stone frontage. A few minutes
after o'clock, Mr.. Marvin lighted the
gas in the stove in the dining-room.
The cooks announced dinner, and the
guests and boarders were preparing to
repair to the dining-room when ter
rife explosion, which shook the entire
city, took place. Six of the nine waiter
girls were in the room with Marvin.
One of the girls, Miss Kate Walters,
aged thirty, of Bolivar, N. Y, was in
stantly killed by falling debris. Miss
Ella Johnson, of Findlay, was knocked
down and had both jaws broken.
The physicians say that she can
not recover. Four other girls

side of the street They were badly
bruised but not seriously injured One

ing at the time of the explosion. She

Mr.. Marvin was badly burned about
the head and arms, but not Sc
riously. A number of the guests
who were in their rooms were
badly shaken up. Several of them
received slight injuries. Frank Pound
stone, the clerk, who was entering the
dining-room as the explosion occurred,
was struck by table and knocked
down. He is badly bruised. The tables
and chairs in the dining-room, as well
as the side of the building, were blown
across the street All the windows in
the adjoining buildings were broken.
The leak that caused the eXplo-
sion has not yet been discovered,
but Is believed to be in the
cellar Marvin, who owns the house,
is worth over 500, 900. His loss will be
fully $25, 900. The loss of Andrews Bros.
will be fully $4,000. The buildings and
contents were fully insured against fire.

BEHRNG SEA QUESTION.

What n CaNadinn Authority on lnterna-
tlonal LawThinlSs of the supreme Court
Move.
Hon. Davt Mills. high authority on
international law, in an interview re-
garding Sir bhn Thompson's action in
bringing potion of the Behring Sea
question befoe the Supreme Court OF
the United Sates, said: "Unless it
has been agted between the two
Governments that there shall be
test case for the purpose OF
ascertaining ne extent of the
United States ghts under the law OF
nations in BehIng Sea, l think it will
prove mistake pm the part ofthe Cana
dian minister Of Justice to seek decis-
ion from the Supreme Court. The case
of Foster against Nelson, which will
be found in Pttets' Reports 2, and that
of Philips agap4 Payne, in Vol. 92 of
the Supreme Court Reports, show that
in questions such as this the court is
bound to follow in the construction of
treaties the political depart
ment of the Government, and no opinion
will be obtained, therefore, at variance
with Mr.. Blaine's contention. 1t will
be seen, upon very slight consideration
of the subject, that it would never do
to permit one department of the Gov
ernment to place itself in direct antag-
onism to another, and especially would
it be destructive to permit the views Of
that department which is responsible
for the maintenance of the sovereign
rights of the Nation to be over-ridden
by another department to which
no such responsibility attaches. You
will find the principle on which the Su-
preme Court proceeds so fully stated in
the two cases to which l have referred,
that you will see that the Minister OF
Justice can not get on on the lines upon
which he has set out, and il the court
were to entertain the case he would
only succeed in having the contention
of the Secretary of State confirmed"

Cured by Lymph,

John w. Owens is the first patient to

A dispatch from TobolisS says the
terrible scourge known as "blaclf
death" has reached the city of Tobolslc
the capital of West Siberia. The whole
of Asiatic Russia, from Samarkand to
the mouth of the Obi, is suffering from
the scourge. Thousands are dying at
Obdorsk, near the mouth of the Obi,
owing to the lack of physicians. 1t
seems almost hopeless to try to check
the spread of the fearful disease.
