AL FRANZHEIM HURT
While Celebrating the Fourth Of
July at steubenvllle.
HIS HAND is BADLY LlCERGTED
BY the Explosion of a Giant Cracker,
and no will be Disabled for Some
Time and Probably lose a Flnger--A
Newspaper Man Wounded by Fire
oracker..other Accidents.

Intelligence was received here yester-
day morning that Col. Albert FranSheim
had seriously injured his right hand at
steubenville the evening before, while
firing off fireworks a. the residence Of
Mr.. Harry Harden, in that city. He
wac directing tho display, while at the
same time engaged in shooting off can
non crackers himself. Several OF his
friends present thought he was little
reckless in handling the dangerous ex-
plosiyes, and cautioned him, but he
thought he was careful enough.
I He had lighted an American cannon
cracker, one Of those dynamite abomi-
nations, and was about to toss itin the
air when something diverted his atten-
ton and he held the cracker too long.
1t exploded in his right hand, lacerat-
ing that member badly. The second
finger was so badly bruised and torn
that it had to be amputated at the first
Joint, while the flesh was torn from his
forefnger and third finger clear to the
bone, the little finger was somewhat
torn and the flesh between his thumb
and forefnger was burned and LAGER
ated terribly,
The physician who amputated the
finger and dressed his hand expressed
the opinion that it would DO several
months before the hand would heal up
so as to be used. It was reported here
at first that the whole hand would have
to be cut of, but this was, happily, I'M
true.
Mrs. Franzheim, his mother, and his
brother. Mr.. o. W. Franzheim, went up
to steubenyille yesterday to see how he
was getting along.
Last evening Mr.. Franzheim was
brought to the city and taken to the
city hospital, where his injuries can be
properly attended to. He was suffering
great deal Of pain, but was in good
spirits,

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
female inmate of the Marshall county
aims house discovered fire in a wing Of
the building and at once alarmed the
keeper OF the institution.
Water was convenient, and by hard,
quick work the flames were subdued,
the air being perfectly still at the time.
Had the wind been blowing nothing
could have saved the buildings. AS it
was, the side was burned out for con
siderable space and the damage to the
building will be considerable.
As soon as the flames were subdued
sufficiently to admit of it the room
where the fire was raging was entered,
1t had been occupied by Wesley
Holmes and Eliza Duncan, two aged
and infrm inmates, and John Cham
bers, a simple minded inmate who has
spent most Of his lie in this institu-
ton.
A HORRIBLE SIGHT
met the eyes of the keeper. On the
floor lay the scorcned and blistered
bodies of the two old people, death
having relieved them of their terrible
misery. Chambers was gone, but q
search OF the premises located him in
the haymow at the barn.
1t was evident to the keeper thatthe
fire had originated within the room, and
that it was the result OF the deliberate
act OF Chambers he did not doubt.
Justice Criswell, OF Moundsville, wa
notified, and summing jury, COM
posed Of ]. w. Smith, 6. W. Evans, G.
W. Morris, H. FL. Keller, P. @. Wallace
and Edward Manning, he with officer
Joe Gray proceeded to the scene of the
tragedy.
The premises were carefully exam
ined and the man Chambers closely
questioned. He admitted that he had
fired the bedding. in the room with a
match and then left for the barn, lock-
ing the door behiAd him. He said he
was mad and wanted to burn the whole
business, including the keeper and his
family.

WRONG TO KILL PEOPLE
and that he might be hung for it, he said
that he did, but that he would rathergo
to Jail than hang; that he would rather
stay in jail than at the poor farm. He
said tho thing looked good deal worse
since it was done than it did before he
started into it.
1t TRANSFERRED that be ran away from
the home the evening before the fire
for the purpose Of visiting the family OF
an ex-keeper, now dead. but was brought
back and told that he would be whipped
il he ran away again. He says this
incensed him, and be took the fire plan
10 got even.
A verdict in accordance with the
facts was brought in by the jury, and
the imbecile was locked up to await the
meeting of the next grand jury. The
general impression is that the mad
house ia the proper place for him.
The old man who lost his life in the
conhagration was known as Hopping
Wes." lie had lost the entire use OF
his lower limbs, and his peculiar mo-
tions in moving about gained for him
that appellation. He had been at the
home many years.

den's statement that the entire force OF
militia at present concentrated at Home
stead would remain hers until all danger OF
trouble had passed has thrown damper on
the feelings of many of the strikers.
General Snowden is making serious
mistake" said one of the striks-leaders to-
day. He has seen enough OF the people
of Homestead TO know that their inclina~
tions are peaceful, and that a large body Ok
armed men does much TO irritate them. II
is hardly fair in him TO give the outside
world the impression that we are set OF
outlaws ready to destroy life and property
when military survelllance is removed"
TIE MILLS AGAIN AT WORK.
The advisory committee of the Amalga-
mated Association met az their headQuar-
ters late last night and received reports
from committees and scouts IA to the pro-
eress of the strike. Word was received that
three night watchmen who have been on
duty in the mill were discharged yesterday
because they refused 10 DO sworn In as
deputy sheTihs, and they were also suspected
OF carrying news 10 the strikers.
The people who were curious TO SEQ
whether the Carnegie Company would con-
tinue its operations of yesterday in the
Homestead mills had their curiosity graft
fed this morning by the sight of large
volumes of black smoke issuing from the
tall chimneys of the armor-plate mill and
the press shop. One of the furnaces was
also ia operation. The non-union men In
side the big fence began their work At tho
usual hour. The absence of hostile demon
stration Oh the part OF the lecked-out work
ingmen has given them much encourage
ment.
MUCH QUIET HrJoiCfNo.
When the fact was made known TO them
that General Snowden had decided to keep
the entire body Of troops At Homestead
until law and good order had been assured
there was much quiet rejoicing. The ac-
tivity in the works was greater than that
shown Yesterday. The changing OF hammers
and the putting of steam could be plainly
heard by the strikers gathered in the
vicinity of the fence about the plant:
Some of the strikers were disposed
10 laugh at the activity, the sounds
and the great clouds of smoke from the
ehimneys would seem TO show. When the
mills are doing real work. said one, amid
approving mods from his fellows you
don t soc 80 much smoke and steam. Its
only a bluff OF Superintendent Potter's to
make us believe he can run the mills. lie
can't do IL without the Homestead men. and
he ought TO have sense enough TO know
that such makeshift can't fool men who
know more about operating those mills than
he does"
