why Take the wabash

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS!
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

natural Gas EXPLOSION
Six People Are Seriously Injured at
ElWOOd, Indiana.
IGNITED BY A HEATED STOVE
Quiet Customers in Barber Shop Are
Badly Shaken Up by an Explosion Of
Natural and Sewer Gas-Leak
in the Mains.
BY the United Press.


Elwood, Ind, Dec. 3O-A fearful nat
ural gas and sewer gas explosion oc-
Cured here this morning shortly after
midnight, in which six men came near
losing their lives, all being terribly in
1ured, two having broken legs. The
building occupied by Milo Sees barber
shop was utterly demolished and the
furniture and fixtures blown into frag-
ments.
The injured are: Milo See, proprie-
tor, terribly injured on head, face and
back, but will recover; Harry Goatee,
barber, cut on face, head and body;
Charles Hand, barber, leg broken in
three places and other serious injuries.
recovery doubtful; Jerry Claxton, Gus
toner, leg broken, cut on face; Alfred
Anderson, customer, was in chair and
was blown with it through plate glass
window, and badly cut; Fred Betzner,
customer, face and hands cut.
The cause of the explosion was due
to bad leak In the gas mains which
found an outlet in the sewer that COM
municated with the bath rooms to the
shop. From there it accumulated un-
der the floor and around the walls of
the shop behind the plastering and soon
began to fill the room. All evening
the smell of sewer gas and other gas
had been noticed and finally it got so
strong the doors were opened to purify
the room. The fire in the stove in the
shop was burning brightly, and when
the air became saturated with the gas
the explosion occurred. The loss is
estimated at $1,000 with no insurance.

London, Dec. SO.-The British bark
Osseo was wrecked in a gale at Holy
Head early this morning and. with her
perished her entire crew of twenty-six
men. The Osseo was driven ashore
back of the Holy Head breakwater,
Her signals Of distress were first heard
by the coast guard about 4 o'clock in
the morning. At that time ut was
pitch dark and great waves were wash
ing over the breakwater.
In spite Of the danger of b eing washed
out to sea the guard proceeded along
the breakwater, and having rugged up
the rocket apparatus, began firing life
lines in the direction of the wreck The
faint light Of the rockets soon disclosed
the fact that the vessel had broken in
tvs amidships and that THE mainmast
had fallen, crushing the lives of sew
eral Of the crew. A few survivors could
be seen clinging to each half Of the
vessel and their piteous cries for help
could be heard above the roar of the
storm.
After many failures the coast guard
succeeded in firing line over the
wreck, but by that time all on board
Lad persisted. A life boat vainly tried
again and again to approach the wreck.
Not vestige of the bark could be seen
today and there Is no Drosnact of anv
salvage. Several bodies have been
w1shed ashore. The Osseo was a bark
Of 1899 tons.

had not married well. His and his
wife's habits led the cnildren's society
to take his two little ones under It's
care. Then he moved to No. 1886 Ferry
avenue, in the purliens of Camden. His
wife was found there at 3 o'clock this
morning in wild delirium from the
agony Of pain caused by burns Hun
ter claims that his wife came home in
toxicated about o'clock this morning
and that they quarreled about her con-
dition and that he left her and went
upstairs Shortly afterwards he was
startled by her screams and came
downstairs and found his wife's cloth
ing on fire.
The woman Is only partially con-
scious and cannot remember how she
got on fire, but the police doubt Hun
ter's story and hold him under arrest.

River in Flat Boat-Their Dead Bodies
Arc Found a Week Later.

BY the United Press.
Olean, N. Y, Dec. 30.-Portville, a
small town six miles above here, on the
Allegheny river, is full of excitement
and in Wordens undertaking rooms lie
the bodies of the three Masco brothers,
cold in death. One week ago today they
started to town from their home across
the river in fat bottom boat and told
their aged father that they would be
gone about an hour. They did some lit
tie trading about town, and the last
seen of them was about o'clock in the
evening. When they did not return
home their father thought nothing spe-
cial of it, thinking, perhaps, they had
gone to an uncle's, who lived in an ad-
joining county.
On Tuesday, however, ne became
greatly alarmed, and upon telegraph
ing learned that they had not been
there. After some further telegraph
ing a searching party was formed, and
yesterday the old fiat bottom boat was
found, and, after dragging the river for
some time, the bodies of Edward and
Charles, agend Is and 10, respectively,
were found and late last night the body
of William, aged 22, was recovered.
When taken from the water, both of

sing, and but one stocking on his foot.
William being the only one that could
swim, the impression is that when the
boat began to sink he relieved himself

Byrnes, who resigned yesterday, went
to police headquarters this morning
and spent four hours in packing up his
private papers and getting them ready
to be removed in the event of the ac-

The superintendent action was the
sole topic of discussion around head
quarters today. Regret at Mr.. Byrne's
probable departure, seemed, however,
to be completely overshadowed by
curiosity as to what would happen af-
ter he had gone and where competent
successor could be found.

Boston, Dec. 3O.-OfIicial letters re-
Gently sent out from the rooms of the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions containing accounts
relative to the European Turkey mis-

delivered but with the Turkish word

This indicates that the Turkish govern

When the reports of the massacre of
Christians in Sassoun region of eastern
Turkey, after more than month OF
suppression on the part of the Turkish
officials, became public, the Ottoman
government was alarmed at the wide
spread publications in the American
and English press.
Under pressure from the foreign
powers the sultan agreed to send a
commission to investigate and report
upon the outrage. In view of this
promise the government representa-
tives of the European powers at Con-
