indicate that an explosion, such as would
be caused by dynamite or powder, had
taken place. Not single joist or timber
WAS broken and not even so much as a
lath was splintered. Plastering was
hurled from the walls and particularly
from the ceilings of the rooms in the top
story, and in such a way as TO indicate
that the explosion had been caused by gas,
which ha j collected between the roof and
the ceiling of the top floor. and that W hile
roof, it did knock good deal of the plas-
tering from the ceiling below.
The fire started in the bathroom, and
had been burning for some time before the
explosion came. as the firemen with engine
had already arrived when it occurred. Ii
the explosion was caused Dy gas collected
in the loft, it would have required some
time for the fire to reach it from the bath
room, which is an addition, and rot under
the main roof of the house. Although gas
is not used in the house. there are gas
pipes all through it, and the gas might have
been collected there for some time.
Detective BoheD, who has been detailed
on the case. clings TO the dynamite theory,
and has men out after Captain Kicks. but
had not up to late hour last night sue
ceeded in locating him. Fire Marshal
Towe, Captain Comstock of the Under
writer's Patrol. and the members of en-
gine As company are confident that the ex-
plosion was caused by gas, or possibly by
heated air. The report was not sharp
noise, such as is made BY dynamite. but
rather muffied one, and the evidence all
seems to be against the dynamite theory.
The morning call., 1893-11-16

fessor Otto Fleissner rendered on the organ
"The Pilgrims Chorus" from "Taun-
hauser." and variations on an American
air, taking as his theme for the latter the
melody 'Old Folks at Home"
DR.. Mackenzie addressed the congrega-
tion in his usual pleasing style. combining
wit and pathos with his instructive re-
marks, narrated in a most eloque MT man
ner.
The speaker announced that as ON pre-
vious occasions he had discourssd On the
sights In other lands he intended to re-
rain from the usual course and dwell
olely upon the adventures and observa-
tions he had chronicled during his recent
tour abroad. "The Sidellghts of Traver'
would better illustrate his meaning, and
for this reason he chose that text.
TO make travel delightful you must
make yourself delightful" continued the
speaker. explaining the manner in which
the tourist must be prepared to enjoy the
grandeur OF what is TO be seen on his
course. To read description of the special
object or place to be visited adds doubly to
the enjoyment of its study. Under these
conditions travel is romance of life and
to the student, finishing touch to an edn-
cation.
In describing bis voyage across the At
lantic the speaker created much laughter.
He pictured Neptune al dem anding sacri-
fees from the victims of the bounding
seas.
On arriving at Bordeaux he carried the
audience through the provinces on the
way to Paris, where. after remaining but
few days. his journey was continued to
Rome.
His description of crossing the Alps In to
fair Switzerland was most picturesque,
and his account of his brief stay on the
shores of Lake Geneva most interesting.
AT last London was reached, and then
the doctor thought that at least he would
be able 10 converse in his native tongue.
but ON travelling through the various dis
trlcts of the great metropolis he was sur
prlsed on finding the confusion or
profuson of mixed dialects with which
the Inhabitants spoke. He gave a mum ber
OF amusing limitations of their various
patois.
In conclusion Mr.. Mackenzie reviewed
his tour through Scotland.
