THE CORINTH CANAL.

Interesting Particulars COncerning Great
Undertaking.
The Corinth canal, which will sever
the Peloponnesus from the mainland Of
Greece, and will permit the largest
ships to pass directly from the Gulf Of
Athens to the Gulf of Corinth, is said to
be rapidly approaching completion. A
recently published account gives some
interesting particulars concerning the
undertaking.
The work was begun, says the En-
gineering and Building Record, some
eight years ago by French company.
1t was to have been finished in 1887, but
various troubles delayed it, and now
1895 is named as the earliest date on
which it can be opened for traffic. The
canal will have no locks, but Is level
from end to end and is perfectly straight.
It is to be ninety-six feet wide and
thirty-six feet deep. At the Corinth end
it is crossed by railroad bridge 1874
feet high, under which the tallest ships
may pass without lowering their top
masts. With the exception of about
200 yards in the center the channel, it II
said, has already been excavated down
to sea level, and water has been admit
ted for about half mile at the Corinth
end and half that distance at the other.
The total cost of the canal is reckoned
at $4,000, 600, or about SO, 500, 900 mile.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
A Findlay Hotel Blown to the -Four
Winds,
Owing to a Leak In Natural Gas Pipe-Two
Mattresses Killed and Number
More Dangerously
IUlured.

The Hotel Marvin, Findlay, o., (which
was completed few weeks ago at a
cost of over $50, 900, is complete wreck
from cellar to garret. An explosion of
natural gas Sunday afternoon complete
ly cleaned the building out. 1t is
owned by Ancil E.. Marvin, and was
leased on January by Andrews
Bros, of Pennsylvania. It is four
story brick building, 50x2OO 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 a 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
were blown to the opposite
side Of the street. They were badly
bruised, but not seriously injured. One
Of them, Miss Ella Searls, was sweep
ing at the time Of the explosion. She
was blown over sixty feet. When
picked up her clothing was nearly torn
of, but she still held to the broom.
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 $10O, 900. His loss will be
fully S25, 900. The loss of Andrews Bros.
will be fully $1,000. The buildings and
contents were fully insured against fire.
Insurance men say that insurance can
not be collected on explosions. The
other hotels threw open their doors To
the guests, and the Marvin, the pride Of
Findlay, is closed. Two Mattresses are
dead, three other persons were danger
ously injured, and four seriously hurt.

day occurs. No doubt many of the MUIR
