Disastrous Blaze on Woodward Avenue.
Detroit---Firemen Perish Miserably by
the Collapse of a Wall.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 6.--Fire was dis
covered in the shipping room in the
basement at the back of the furniture
store of Keenan, & jain at 7:3O o'clock
Friday morning. An alarm was
promptly turned in, but by the time
the engines arrived the fire had gained
considerable headway, having run up
the elevator shaft, and the entire up
per floor was a mass of smoke and
flame when the first stream was
thrown.
There were sixty employees in the
building and most of them had great
difficulty in escaping. The building,
an old-fashioned five-story brick, was
soon gutted and the stock ruined. At
8 o'clock the front wall of the building
tumbled into Woodward avenue. It
came in the shape of collapse, and
the mass of debris did not spread be-
yond the curb.
The firemen working in front of the
building were warned and retreated as
rapidly as possible. Some got out
from under, but dozen or more un-
fortunate fellows were unable to do so
on account of the piles of brick, glass
and burnt timbers at the front of the
store.
A yell of horror went up simultane.
ously from the throats of the thou
sands who were in the street, and then
there was crash like an earthquake.
The air was filled with dust and sheets
of flame and smoke. Then some of the
falling wall broke the heavy electri !,
wires in front of the street beside the
trolley wires A splash of fluttering
electric fluid lighted up the scene and
people crowded and surged to get into
the stores and down the side streets to
escape being shocked. A number Of
men, women and children were tram
pied under the feet of the frightened
spectators, but none were seriously
hurt.
The first man taken from under
the debris was Lieut.. Michael H.
Donoghue, of Chemical No. /. He was
dead.
The next body was that of Richard
Dely, pipeman of Engine No. 8. 1t
was lying under two iron columns and
the head and back were frightfully
crushed.
The next dead man to be taken out
was Pipeman John Pagal of No 9.
He was crushed by the tumbling
walls.
Frederick A. Bussey, a spectator,
was taken to Grace hospital and died.
Mike Gray was taken to Grace hos
pital, where he was found to be so
badly injured about the head that he
may die.
Mike Boyle, pipeman of No is still
in the ruins and certainly dead.
Julius Cummings, Company No. 2,
still in ruins.
The injured: :vLieut. O'Rourke, Of
Engine No. s; Pipen1an F. Stock, No. s.;
Pipeman c. Cronin, No. 8; John b.
Newell, Truck 2, injured about head;
Thomas Garry, a substitute, badly
bruised; Leslie Mcnamara, No. 2;
Henry Kimberly, No. 2; Henry Herig,
leg broken.

stock is estimated at $s5, 900; fully in.

The Distinguished Poet Peacefully Passes
Away at His Home In Boston.
BOSTON, Oct tS.-OliverWendellH Holmes
is dead of asthma at the age of SO years.
Without the semblance of struggle or
a pain he passed away as he lived,
peacefully and beautifully. The end
came at 1910 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
at the venerable poets town house, 296
Beacon street. He was surrounded by
his children, and visibly conscious of
their presence up to within few min

speak. Then he closed his eyes wearily
and seemed to fall asleep, as indeed he
did-the sleep of death, at which the
whole world will mourn.

POLLUTING STREAMS.

The State Can Prevent Cities From Con-
structing Sewers That Empty Into
Rivers.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 5.--Attorney Gem
eral Richards Thursday morning rem
dered an opinion that will be far reach
ing in its effects. In amending the
health laws of the state the legisla.
ture attempted to give the state board
OF health authority to prevent the
maintenance of nuisances in cities and
towns, but omitted to use the word
municipalities" simply designating
all corporations. A number of ques-
tions have been raised as to
the effect of the omission and
the matter was referred to
the attorney general, the specific
case being the refusal of Scioto to
abate an open ditch running through
the main street, into which number
OF sewers emptied. The attorney gen.
eral holds that "a municipal corpora
tion which constructs a sewer with an
outlet emptying into an open ditch
within the corporation, thus creating a
public nuisance, may be indicted for
creating and maintaining public nui-
sance." Under this opinion it is the
belief that the state board of health
has full power to prevent cities from
polluting streams within the corpora
tion by running sewers into the same.

Fear and Cholera.

A striking example of the effects of
fear i'll times of cholera is the following
authentic fact, which is recorded in the
newspapers of that time:
In 1853 or 1854, now forget which,
we had the cholera in Wien (Vienna)
The professors at the great general hos
pital in the Alserstrasse had their hands
full A man of the name of Franz Hol-
riegl was then awaiting sentence of death
for murder, and the director of the hos
pital presented Q petition to Emperor
Franz Josef to grant full pardon to
this man providing the culprit in re-
turn would consent to sleep in a bed
from which corpse of cholera victim
had just been removed.
The emperor granted a full pardon
under the aforesaid condition, and the
condemned man was only too glad to
comply. He was taken into the hospi-
tai and ordered to. g down at once in the
same bed from which in his presence
the corpse was removed. The man I'M
dressed and went to bed. In less than
half an hour he began vomiting and in
six hours he died from cholera
The man died of cholera, which he
took from fright. The corpse removed
from the bed was not that of a cholera
victim, but of a man who met his death
from a gunshot wound. The expert
ment did not take place in the cholera
wing, but in the ward for skin diseases.

A Very Peculiar Ailment.

There is peculiar case near Barbour
vile, W. Va, which is attracting the
attention of the medical fraternity OF
this whole section of the country. 1t Is
a case of general bone breaking without
an apparent cause. Mrs. Kelly, wife Of
Peter Kelly, well known citizen, is the
victim of this peculiar disease, which
the local surgeons and doctors, for want
of better name, call fragilitas osium.
Mrs. Kelly, who is delicate lady, was
Just getting around after long and
serious illness when, a few nights since,
she got out of bed and started down
stairs to get drink of water.
When but few steps down one of the
bones of her right leg broke with pc
culiar glasslike snap, without having
come in contact with anything, and from
no apparent cause. She called her hus-
band, and he picked her up and started
back toward the bedroom with her, when
the bones of her right and left arms
broke in several places with the same
peculiar snap heard and felt by the
woman when the first fracture occurred.
Mrs. Kelly was carried to her bedroom
and laid on her bed, when the bones of
her left leg broke in the same manner.
A surgeon was Immediately sent for.
He set the broken limbs and bandaged
them. Mrs. Kelly said that she felt no
pain when any of the fractures occurred,
and that the setting and bandaging of
her broken limbs occasioned her not the
slightest CONGRATULATIONS Ameri-

branding n Maverick.

In dell in the forest we espied some
mavericks" or unbranded stock. The
punchers are ever alert for a beef with
out half its ears gone and big HF
burned in its flank, and Immediately
they perceive one they tighten their
cincha, slip the rope from the pommel,
put their hats on the back of their heads
and eight out" A COW was soon caught,
after desperate riding over rocks and
fallen timber, thrown down and "hog
tied" which means all four feet togeth-
er. A little fire is built, and one side of
cincha ring is heated redhot, with
which rawhide artist paints HF in the
sizzling flesh, while the COW kicks and
bawls.
She is then unbound, and when she
gets back on her feet the vaqueros stand
about, serape in hand, after the bull
fighter fashion, and provoke her to
charge, She charges, while they avoid
her by agile springs and Haunting of
their rags. They laugh and cry, bravo
toro!" until she, having overcome her in
dignation at their rudeness, sets forth
down the canyon with her tail in the air.

Woman and the Confidence Game.

A promised rattle for a gold watch
was to have taken place at R. H. Pettit's
store Saturday evening, but it never
took place. A number of the ticket
holders were on hand, but the person
who was to give the rattle, a young
woman, failed to show up. After wait
ing some time it began to dawn upon
the people who came that they had been
we'll duped.
A number of days ago good looking
young woman, stranger, who said her
name was Miss Clifford, called on Mr..
Petit at his store. She showed him a
jeweled gold watch and obtained his
consent to have the timepiece ratified at
his store. Together with another wom-
an, supposed to be her mother, Miss
Clifford went all over the town and sold
large number of tickets at fifty cents
each. The last heard of the two women
was that they had been seen with valises
in hand travelling in the direction of the
pot Saturday morning, These women
are evidently confidence people.-Sacra-
mento Bee.

The greatest cities of ancient times
were Babylon and Rome. The former
is said to have had an area of 100 to 200
square miles, Its houses were three or
four stories high, but palaces and gar
dens occupied much of the vast area, SO
that the population was not what these
figures would seem to indicate. In fact,
it is said by one historian that nine
tenths of this area We're taken up by gar
dens and orchards. The total popula-
ton of the city under ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

at upward of 100000. Rome reached
its greatest size during the fourth CEN
fury of our era, and its population was
then about 900, 000.-W Mail.

The Archduke's Experiment.

The friends of Archduke Joseph, of
Austria, have had much fun over the
results of his attempt to colonize his es-
tates of Doboz and Koebel with gypsies.
During the spring and early summer
the tribes seemed perfectly happy in
their new homes, and the archduke was
jubilant. Harvest time and the days for
selecting recruits for the army came,
however. The gypsies, fearing work
and service, picked up their belongings
a few weeks ago and silently stole away.
When his imperial highness went out to
muster his gypsy colonists he found none
to greet him. He will not repeat the
experiment. The archduke is great
friend of the wandering people, under.

book about them.-New York Tribune.

Recent STYLES In Matchboxes,

Every young man, as well as old, is
interested in the matchbox, if not from
a smokers point of view, at least from q
feeling that it is something always serv-
iceable. The best adapted and most
fashionable designs at this time are
those illustrating hunting scenes. The
fishing rod and kinship have been put
by, the gun, the setter and the wild
goose supplanting them.
Apart from nickel the material usually
used for matchboxes has been silver,
but formidable rival has appeared in
finely figured dark steel, the body being
of that metal, the hinges, snap and cover
of silver or gold In the more expensive
kind there is a horseshoe or bed of rubies,
with an effect altogether gorgeous The
shapes vary from the shell pattern to a
plain satin finish. The absence of elab-
crate decoration is amply atoned for by
the great durability of the receptacle

Plans are now being perfected at
Cleveland by which large part of the
grape and market produce crop of the
section east of the city will be brought
in by electricity this fall, and the East
Cleveland electric road has built two
lines connecting with its street tracks
five miles beyond the eastern city limits
into rich market gardening and grape
growing section, and will fit up its old
passenger cars for the transportation of
freight, running the cars directly from
the farms to the city market houses.
Another line is building through the
country from Berea for like purpose,
and several others are projected.
