MRS. WILL 8, ANDRES

was born in Portsmouth, Ohio. July II. 1868,
of Irish parentage, her maiden name being
Lillian Keefe. From early childhood she
showed q mathematical mind. In school
she stood first in her class in arithmetic, al
zebra and the like. Her love and talent for
checkers followed as a matter of course, but
it was never developed to any great extent
til she became acquainted with her husband,
and she became acquainted with him in
this way: she was compositor for the
Portsmouth Daily Blade. He was special
correspondent and checker editor on the
same paper. She handled the type that
placed his column in position and would
play him during moments of leisure.
Their love for checkers was mutual.
Their love for each other soon became ditto,
and on the evening Of October 7, 1887, this
little checker couple were married. Mr..
Andres then became his wifes instructor in
earnest, and introduced her to the checker
public under the nom de plume of "Mrs.
Okey." Correspondence matches were
solicited and prominent players throughout
the country responded. In all this play she
was eminently successful. In 1889 she and
her family resided in the South, where she
defeated all players whom she met. Her
contributions to checker journals have been
above the average, highly creditable and
impressive. Her work as IL whole bespeaks
for her volumes of praise and wins her the
title she so strongly admires and enjoys.
At present Mr. and Mrs. Andres are pleas
antly located in their native city, Ports
mouth, o. At their residence may be found
the "magic squares and men," valuable
checker literature of every sort and kind,
and two young checkerists, aged 8 and 2
who by the rule of heredity
are scheduled to some day win draught
laurels at home and abroad.

SOME PULPIT THEMES FOR SUNDAY

There are now close to 200 church or
carnations in the cities of Pittsburg and
Allegheny, and all are evidently starting
out on a rigorous campaign against the COM
mon enemy. It is doubtful If there are any
cities in the land where so large a proper
ton of the populatian have church going
habits as here. In addition to the churches
are three theological seminaries, all located
in Allegheny City, in which upward of $50
students are preparing for the ministry.
The Presbyterian Seminary opened last
Tuesday under brighter prospects than for
years Twenty-eight new students were
ma+riculated and more are expected. The
United Presbyterian Seminary is also in full
blast with a most promising outlook.

Twenty Three More Men Miss

A Boiler Explodes in Michi-

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Jan. 29.-At
about o'clock this evening part of
the Chaplin mine, the largest and most
productive IN Michigan, caught fire at
the sixth level and at this writing the fire
has spread to an alarming extent.
Smoke is pouring from four of the shafts
and it is feared that serious damage will
result. Several miners of the day shift
are under ground and cannot be res
cued. They have probably succumbed
to the smoke. How the fire started is
not known. The tops of the shafts are
being covered, to prevent air from
entering the mine, and it is hoped by
this means to smother the blaze. The
fire has extended and ali shafts are
closed kown. Eight men are under
ground without any possibility of escape.
At O'CLOCK the fire is still spreading
and all the shafts have been Shut down
There is no hope of rescue for the eight
entOmbed men, whose names cannot yet
be learned. The mine is situated in the
heart of Iron mountain, and almost the
entire population now surrounds it,
waiting for some news from the UNI
fortunate victims. The Chaplin mine
was the second largest ore shipper in
the Lake Superior district, having
shipped 100000 tons of IRON last year.
The Vanderbilts were negotiating for
its purchase.

TWENTY-THREE MORE.
Other Miners Missing From the
Mammoth Tomb.


PITTsBURG. Pa, Jan. pa special
from Mammoth Mines says: This after
noon it was discovered by the rolls of
the company that twenty-three more
men are missing, in addition to
the 107 found dead. This
increases the total dead to
$50. 1t is probable the remaining %
will not all be found for weeks, owing
to the immense piles of wreckage that
must be undermined. Twenty-Seven
more dead miners were buried at noon
to-day. many of the graves being
marked unknown" owing to the
terrible mutilation. Master Workman
Rae, of the United Mine Workers, is
laboring with his. colleagues to form
more stringent mining laws for this
state, and influential politicians are pre-
pairing to push them in the legislature.
AS it is, there seems to be no way for
the people to reach the company for
damages. There Is nothing to be done
at the mines now but search for the re-
naming dead and care for the living.
A legislative committee from Harris
burg. with Farrell in charge, is now in
veStgating the disaster. A call has
been issued for the national executive

President Rae, of the United Mine

ridiculous, and the explosion occurred
from long accumulation OF gas. This
point may be decided when the coroher
investigates the cause of the accident

ing it was her husband, who comes in at
an early hour in the morning, playing a
joke on her. She looked i'll the closet,
under the bed and lounge, and in every
nook and corner of the room, and again
went into the hallway and gave that a
thorough search. But no sign of any
person could be discovered. She re-
turned to her room and was soon sound
asleep.
The lady thought nothing further of
it, not even mentioning the strange
rapping to her husband, until they
were talking of the death of Judge Ed
son. Then she referred to an expressed
wish of the judges when she last saw
him, that in his last sickness she would
come and take care of him, to which
she had given an affirmative promise.
Years ago the judge was a frequent
visitor of the lady's husband, and had a
habit of rapping with his knuckles
slowly on the table, or on anything
near which he was sitting.

HOT COLD STORAGE.
Destruction of the Western Re-
frigerating Company's Building.

CHIC AGO. Jan. 29.-The six-story
building of the Western Refrigerating
company. No. 225 to 235 Kinzie street,
was partially destroyed early this MORN
ing by fire, caused by an explosion of
ammonia gas, used in the ice machines.
The building and contents are owned
by S. p. Baker & Co., who conduct one
of the largest communicating and
cold storage enterprises in Chicago.
The company will suffer loss of $780,
900. The first explosion was followed
quickly by three others, shaking the
building to the foundation. Joseph
Bour. Robert Haw'ey and George
Hendricks, employed IN the engine
room, escaped with slight injuries.
Thomas Casey, fireman. while helping
to get them out, was fatally injured.
The building and machinery were in
sured for $50, 900, and the merchandise
destroyed, consisting of dressed meats,
game, cheese, butter, eggs, ETC., was
insured for s15O.OOO. Ninety-eight diff
ferent firms had goods in the warehouse,
but are supposed to be fully protected.
The insurance was SO widely distribu-
ted that no individual company will
probably lose over $4,000.

Fatal jealousy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jau. "a CHASTITY
double tragedy occurred yesterday at
Alcatraz. the military post near this
city. Assistant Surgeon VIM. d. Deltz,
of the Fifth artillery, killed his wife
and then shot himself. The deed was
done early yesterday morning, but the
bodies were not found till noon. Then
his room was broken open and the
corpses found on the floor with a shot
gun by their side. The tragedy was
due to the jealousy of the husband.
The coroner's jury held an inquest on
the bodies of Sergeant Deitz and wife,
and rendered verdict that Deitz killed
his wife and then committed suicide.
1t is believed that the tragedy was
caused by temporary insanity, superin-
duced by overwork on a book which
Deitz had in press.
