BLEW UP THE HOTEL.

and n Number of parsons Infurad

An Explosion of Natural Gas In the Hotel
Marvin. at Findlay, o., Completely
Wrecks the Building-Two Girls Killed
and Number of Persons Injured.
FINDLAY, o., Jan. 19.-The first great
disaster Findlay has ever experienced
from the use of natural gas occurred
shortly before 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon while the guests of the Hotel
Marvin We're waiting to be summoned
to dinner. Sunday morning it was dis
covered that gas was escaping from
leaking pipe somewhere into the dining
room, and Mr.. Marvin. the owner of the
hotel. with three plumbers. spent the en-
tire forenoon trying to locate the leak.
About 10 o'clock they entered cham
Der underneath the dining-room and
found such an accumulation of gas that
they could not breathe, and it was sug-
gested that a hole be sawed through the
floor of the dining-room in order
to obtain fresh air. This was
done, and just as the hole was
made one of the dining-room girls,
who was sweeping the floor, stepped
upon a match, and in an instant an ex-
plosion occurred which not only
girls and MANNED and injured dozen
other employees. The force of the ex-
plosion was so great that it blew
ont the flame of the ignited
gas and no fire followed the awful
ruin which the shock had caused
The whole city rocked as if in an
earthquake and all the windows on the
square were demolished while the
wreck of the hotel building was all but
complete, the only rooms in the house
escaping destruction being the parlors
and the Office.
When the work of removing the dead
and rescuing the dying was begun it
was found that Katie Walters. a wait
ress, had been killed outright Ella
Johnson. dining-room girl was found
alive under mass of brick and mortar,
but she died shortly after being carried
to place of safety. Kate Rooney. an
other dining-room girl. was also fatally
injured but is still alive. Frank Pound
stone, day clerk at the hotel, was pain
fully bruised and cut about the neck
and face, but will recover. Arson
Marvin, owner of the building, who
with the plumbers was under the
dining-room floor when the explosion
occurred, was probably fatally hurt,
as he inhaled the flames of the
burning gas. Albert French, a porter
at the hotel, was cut on the neck and
head, but will recover. Frank an
drews, one of the proprietors, had his
right eye knocked out and was serious
ly bruised about the face and throat.
Charles Graves, Philip We'll and Jack
Cahill, the plumbers, were painfully
shocked and stunned, but will soon be
themselves again.
The financial loss viii be about $685.
900 on the building and $4,000 on the
furniture, all fully insured. 1t is
question whether any insurance will be
realized, as none of the destruction was
caused by fire. The excitement through
out the city over the catastrophe is great

In Belgium the Dogs are Compelled to
Work Hard.

In Belgium the Dogs are Compelled to
Work Hard.
In Belgium the country people are
mostly poor; even those who think
themselves '.well-off are not what we
should call so. Some of them have
small farms just outside the city walls,
and raise vegetables for the markets.
They seldom can afford horse. so they
keep a number of large. strong dogs
sometimes as many as five or siX-which
they harness to their market carts.
If you could see these dog te; ms tug,
ging along. you would understand what
it means when people say they have to
work like a dog" About all these
farmers have to eat is sort of dark
colorcd. coarse bread; and the same
kind of bread is fed to the horses. 1t
lool very queer to see the cab-drivers
cutting off the slices for their horses
The bakers and butchers and grocers,
and great many other people. keep
dog teams. Most of the milk-women
bring the milk to the city in shining
brass cans packed into their little dog
carts; and when they go home again
they pack themselves in too, along with
the empty cans, and while the poor dogs
tug along home they sit and knit. One
morning one of these market dog carts
was standing before our house. writes
a correspondent, and Nine. Ven de Vim,
my landlady, was chatting Nth Pauline,
the driver, trying to decide whether she
would buy a cabbage or a caulifower,
when our great black cat walked lazily
out and right along under the very
noses of the dogs; and quicker than a
flash those four dogs and that cart were
on their way down the street as fast as
they could go after our foolish cat.
Pauline had just time to catch hold of
the reins. and she went with them
shouting: ''Ar~etez, Arretez"' as loud
as she could. and The last saw of them
they turned into Moon street in a cloud
of dust.-N. Y. journal.

FOR A BROTHERS LIFE.
Chicago Knights Templar Give of Their
Own EIesh to Save a EeIIow Mason.

Chicago Knights Templar Give of Their
Own Flesh to Save Fellow Mason.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.--An event that will
be historical not only in Masonic but in
humanity's record took place Sunday
forenoon. The deeds of self-sacrifice
were in keeping with the day. The
event and all its surroundings,
personal, moral and scientific, were
phenomenal. In order to save
the life of John o. Dickerson
146 Sir Knights of st. Bernard Com
mandery, Knights Templar, submitted
to the surgeons knife, contributed each
his portion of skin sliced from the
tender, quivering flesh to be grated
upon the body of their brother. The
strips cut from 146 arms were trans
planted to Mr.. Dickerson and IA
square inches of his body were covered
with these voluntary contributions. 1t
was feat in surgery and demonstra-
ton that heroic sentiment is not thing
of the past.
Mr.. Dickerson is A years of age and
a widower, his wife having died several
years ago. Since 1870 he has been re-
corder of ST. Bernard Commandery of
the Knights Templar and during that
time has been active in Masonic work.
About year ago he became affected
with cancerous growth on his
thigh and right hip, which rapidly de-
veloped into a dangerous condition.
Last summer DIR. Fenger performed
surgical operation, cutting away the
diseased portions of the skin and flesh
to such an extent that the epidermis
could not again join and cover the ex-
posed surface. In other respects the pa
tient improved rapidly. The surgeon
made an attempt to cover the place
with piece of goat skin. This prom
ised to be successful, bat the piece
was too large and had to be removed.
Then DR. Fenger announced that
the only certain method of heal
ing the patient was to graft
small pieces of human skin ON the
exposed and tender surface st. Bernard
Commandcry heard OF this and imme
dately offered TO furnish as many sub
iects as the surgeons desired. 1t YVES
suggested that $50 members volunteer
to assist in patching up the afflicted
brother.
The Volunteers were readily forth
coming, and Sunday ut the emergency
hospital where Mr.. Dickerson has been
lying for long time, dozen surgeons
assisted in transferring strips of epider-
mis- from the intrepid knights to the
body of the patient sufferer on the cot.
When the last patch was neatly set in
Surgeon Fenger announced with some
satisfaction that the operation gave ev-
cry appearance of being a SIGNAL success.
