PITTsBuRa, July GA gas explosion
in the Frautz Hotel at Braddock, at
midnight, wrecked the greater portion
OF the building and caused panic

Shortly after the bar closed Albert

ment later there was terrific explo.
zion which shook the building to its

pletely wrecked.

A Good Citizen Gone,

w. I. Painter one Of our best cit.
zens died at his home on Walnut
street, Wednesday at 2: so a. m.
He had been sick OF typhoid fever
26 days and his friends were fearful
that his sickness would prove fatal.
The physicians did all they could to
arrest the disease but their efforts
we're vain.
The deceased was forty-fve years
old and a man of the highest honor
and integrity. He was member Of
the Knights Of Honor. We learn that
he, although not member Of any
church, had been striving to seek the
Blessed Master for the past two years,
and that about six weeks ago he found
that peace for which he had prayed SO
long. This fact was not made known
to his wife until after he got sick.
A wife and eight children are sad in
this lonely household, from which the
husband and father has been called.
The corpse, accompanied by good
ly number of friends, was taken tC
Limestone on No. |,
| We deeply sympathi2e with the be
reaved family and rel,tiyes.

FUSION IN KANSAS.
A Democratic Union With the PeO.
ple'S Party q Strong Probability.

topeka, July 6th.-The result OF
the Democratic county conventions
throughout the State to elect dele
gates to the Democratic State Con-
vention which meets here Wednes-
day shows that there Is great diver
sity OF opinion. There are three class
es. One favors the endorsement OF
the entire Peoples party State ticket,
another flyoring the nomination Of
straight Democrats only, and the third
advocating the nomination of such OF
the Peoples party candidates as are
acceptable to the Democrats.
On one point, however, the Demo
Gratis are pretty well agreed, and that
is that the Peoples party Electoral
ticket should receive the united sup
port of the Democratic party thai
Kansas may be taken out Of the Re
publican column, and the election o.
President thrown into the House.

The Great Vestibule.

The operation OF the East Tennes-
sees great vestibuled train has again
been postponed but is all right. 1t

since.
General Superintendent Hippy, Gen
eral Passenger Agent Bevill and Col
Frank Huger, superintendent OF trans
portation, all OF the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad, arrived in the city yes
terday in private car, and consulted
with the East Tennessee officials rela
tive to the vestibule.
As a result of their conference the
vestibule will make three hours better
time from Knoxville to New York
than the original timetable called for
and in order to accomplish this, it wal
necessary to postpone the operation Of
the train to Sunday, July 18th.
General Passenger Agent Wrenn saiC
to Journal reporter that the frs
cause for the postponment was the
fact that the Pullman company woulC
not be able to furnish but a temporar!

that the shorter time could then b
made. Leaving Knoxville at 4 p. N
