Mrs. mccarthy and Her Son Hurno d

Considerable excitement was occasioned on
East L oyd street last night by the explosion
Of lamp in a house occupied by Mrs.
Catherine Fahey.
1t seems that at about half past ten o'clock
Mrs. Mccarthy, a next door neighbor of Mrs.
Fahey's, went into the yard to get a bucket
of water and saw blaze in the rear kitchen
of the latter's house. Mrs. Mccarthy tried to
get into the place, but found the door locked.
Mrs Fahey was aroused after considerable
pounding at the door and as Mrs, Mccarthy
and her son, Patrick, attempted to oxtnguish
a blazing lamp that was found ON the kitchen
table it exploded. The burning oil flew in
all directions. Mrs. Mccarthy received the
most of it. Her eye lashes and much of her
hair were burned away. One of her eyes was
injured pretty badly. The son had his two
arms pretty badly burned Mrs. Fahey
escaped injury and nothing in the house was
burned
Mrs Mccarthy had her head and face
bandaged in lint and oil when a reporter saw
her to-day. She said she was not suffering
much.
Mrs Fahey, wheuexpaining the explosion,
said that as she was about to retire last night
she removed the chimney from the kitchen
lamp to blow out the light but in a spell Of
observation-disclosures went to her bedroom up
stairs without extiuguishing the light or re
placing the chimney.

The exhaustion of the natural gas wells in

thousand people will yet remove from that

credited with having entered into an agree

of the members who made free use of their
spoils and now the notorious Kline gang,
sue acessor of the one just mentioned, has
stepped into the same ditch
The heavy veil of mystery which has
hung about the numerous robberies in town
for several months past has been raised by
the arrest of two young men charged with
stealing 900 in cash from the house of
Daniel Brennan, on West Coal street, last
Sunday night. The arrests were the result
OF some very quiet and careful detective
work and enough evidence is in hand to
convict, as well as to demoralize the perpe-
ira ors, who are none other than the Kline
followers.
Yesterday Mr.. Brennan had sufficient evil
denco to have search warrant issued against
the house in which one Edward Lowther re.
sided on West Coal street. The search re-.
suited in a recovery of nearly $500 of the
stolen money The recovery was kept quiet
until late hour last night, when Chief of
Police OHara boarded an electric car at the
west end of Coal street and arrested Edward
Lowther, who was just returning home after
having had good time at Girardvrlle.
Chief O'Hara's next step was to visit a
house on West Cherry street, where William
zollner was arrested in bed. Both prisoners
were remanded to the lookup, where they
remained until shortly before noon to-day,
when Justice Cardin committed them to the
Pottsville Jail without bail.
Lowther is about % years of age and
Zollner about 49, Both protested innocence,
but Lowther became brazen when told of the
$500 found in his house. zollner is no.
torious character and has frequently given
the police trouble The police say he is q
cunning rascal.
1t is said that Kline, the leader of the
gang, has disappeared and has about $1,000 O
the stolen money in his possession.
Zollner, who mas not done any legitimat,
work for nearly year, has been living higt
of late The other evening he spent tel
dollars in one saloon and ne has devoureC

surprises are thrown into the shade Miss
Nellie Baird leads in the contest!
For several weeks Miss Baird has been
making very slow progress, some days polling
much less than fifty votes. But yesterday
the young lady staggered the contest editor
by sending in batch of 35 900 coupons,
running her score up to the top notch-74 ,O39
taking first place, smashing all previous day
records of returns and running the grand
total figures above the 3OO,0OO-mark.
Verify it was surprise and it will no
doubt knock the calculations of many into a
cooked hat.
But this great jump by no means makes it
certainty that Miss Baird will have first
place at the close of the contest. 1t was a
big jump but the tremendous lead Mis-
Stein had reduces the amount of certainty il
would otherwise have carried with it, Ac
cording to the returns published last night
Miss Stein had lead of 31,27S over Mis-.
Baird, so when we calculate the votes polled
for Miss Stein yesterday aud add them to the
lead, we find that after all Miss Baird has a
much smaller margin upon which to hold her
position than one would at first suppose.
The teachers contest is getting very ex-
citing now isn't it2
