ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
BRADDooK, July 3-A panic was caused
among the guests of the Frantz Hotel here
shortly after midnight last night by gas
explosion, which wrecked the greater part
of the interior OF the building. Several
persons were injured, although no lives
were lost About 60 persons were in the
hotel at the time, including the proprietor,
Jonathan Frantz.
The bar had been closed for the night and
the only occupants up were the two bartend-
ers, Robert Wilson and John Davis, and
Billy Timms and young man named Al
bert Kelly. The latter entered the hall by
side door with lighted torch in his
hand, having received instructions to 60 to
the cellar and turn the water off The in
slant he pulled the door ajar there was a
terrific explosion which shook the whole
building
In an instant every occupant of the hotel
was up. They were unable to get any
further than the second floor, as the hall
steps had been blown down. The people
became terror-stricken when they discov-
cred the situation. The decorations put up
for the Fourth caught fire and the sparks
flew in every direction. Women shrieked
for help with their children clinging
about them. Nothing could be heard
from the men below, and Frantz,
grasping the situation, lowered himself by
means of bed clothes othe ground, followed
by several other men. Their first thought
was to put out the fire, which was accom-
plished after hard fight, after which part
of the steps were put up and the frightened
people on the second floor were helped down
to place of safety.
During this time several persons grouped
their way in the darkness to find the four
men who were in the hall and room at the
time of the explosion. Young Kelly, who
carried the torch, was hurled from his feet
and knocked to the other end of the hall,
where he was found in a dazed condition,
hardly able to speak. He was very
seriously burned, and it is feared
age. Wilson and Davis were found in the
barroom, covered with plastering and bar
fixtures. Davis was very seriously injured,
and it is a mystery how he escaped death,
while Wilson escaped injury. Timms was
found in narrow passage along the side of
the hotel, having been blown through a side
window. 1t was some time before he re-
covered consciousness, but he escaped
serious injury.
a clock which hung opposite the bar was
twisted off and hurled across the room.
Every window in the front part of the house
was blown out. and the office was wrecked
almost as badly as the barroom. Both side
walls were completely cleared of the plas-
tering and laths, nothing being left but the
ioists. Four or five rooms on the second
noor were also damaged. The loss will
amount to over e, 600. The explosion was
caused by leak in the gas-ptpe running

Some of the old party papers are get

the Peoples party is likely to disturb
all their calculations. Ehe laugh is, as
it were, fading out of their faces and
the new movement is no longer re-

longer doubt that it will hurt some one
and hurt badly, but which of the old
parties will be worst hurt, they are
in doubt about. The New York World

the western and northwestern states,
which have been cOnfdentially placed
