A Steam Pipe Bursts at the Edison Electric
Works, ,Cincinnati-One Fireman Believed
to Have Been Fatally Injured.
CINCINNATI, Nov. IA number of
fremen were in the vicinity of the
boilers of the Edison Electric Light Co.
at a few minutes before o'clock FRI
day evening. when, without mo-
ment's warning, the large tube burst
with terrific report, and the next me-
ment steam began to hiss through the
cellar. encompassing everything in it's
singing, burning clutches. The men
made frantic efforts to get out of the
place, but before they could do so sew
eral of them were overcome. The po-
lice were notified and patrols and
hurried to the place, but could do no
good until all the steam had escaped
from the boiler. Then the officers
went down stairs and found that the
steam was rapidly forming water and
filling the place to the depth of several
inches.
BY o'clock the entire cellar was
flooded with several feet of water and
the damage from this source and from
the steam will reach several hundred
dollars.
Owing to the fact that all the street
arc lights were out, a large number of
police did extra duty during the night,
with dark lanterns, the entire lower
portion of the city being patrolled.
Dan Blackburn, colored fireman, 80
years of age, living at so George street,
was scalded all over the head and
body, his skin turning bright red.
Patrol removed him to the city hospi-
tai, where his condition was so serious
that his friends were notified that he
might die any moment,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 5.-At $3.50
o'clock Saturday morning fire started
in the building occupied by the Indiana
Medical college, at the corner of South
Pennsylvania and Maryland streets.
In few minutes the whole building
was in flames, and the efforts of the
fire department to head them off were
without avail
The fire quickly spread to the Scot
tish Rites building adjoining, where the
finest Masonic paraphernalia in the
west was reduced to ashes
This outfit had recently been pur.
chased, and the estimated loss to the
masons by reason of its destruction, to.
gether with the five-story building and
all the other contents, will reach $780,.
900. The Indianapolis Gas Co.'S Offices
occupied the ground floor of the corner
building, the medical college having
the two floors above.
Every section of this structure was
leveled to the ground, and a ghastly
feature of the disaster was the fact
that eighteen bodies stored in vats fol
dissecting purposes were burned to g
crisp. The stencil of burning human
flesh was nauseating. The bones Of
the cadavers dropped into the cellar
and presented a sickening spectacle.
The fire was still burning at 8 o'clock
The total loss is about S1T5, 1000, and the
insurance, exclusive of that on con.
tents, 100000.
Persons who witnessed the fire say
that man appeared ut one of the up
per windows of the medical college
building and that he went down with
the roof and floors when they col
lapsed and tumbled into the basement
AT 10 o'clock, however, the body had
not been found, and if it should be, il
is very doubtful whether it could be
discerned from the charred bodies o.
the eighteen cadavers that went dowr
with the ruins at the same time.
No missing men have been reported
and it is hardly believed that any lives
were lost.
The blaze attracted an immense
crowd, early as it was, when the
flames burst forth, and many stayed
up to to see the end. When the upper
floor of the medical building crashed
through, cry of horror went VI
from the multitude, who believed, a
they could see dark bodies shooting
downward, that a number of firemer
had been lost. AS quickly as possible
cooling streams were directed on tn,
hot mass in the cellar, and brave fire
men and police, upon whom waite
was constantly played to keep then
from burning, went to work to rescu,
whoever had been unfortunate enough
to be engulfed. The odor of burning
flesh only made them work faster
Soon fireman staggered out of tn
| ruins and was helped to drug store b.
many willing hands. where his burn
and bruises were attended to. H
relieved the minds of the anxious b,
stating that he was the only one VIII
had fallen through, and that the othe
bodies which fell were cadavers.
The fire presented beautiful sigh
and as the huge walls and floors sanl
with a roar, myriads of sparks wer
thown heavenward like volley O
| rockets

An Old Mans Bones Broken and Flesh
Burned to Force Him to Give Up His
Money.
SAYLER SPRINGS, Ill, Nov. 5.--Three
unknown men tried to extort money
from Clem Miller, an old man living
east of this place, by beating him in
such way that they broke his arm
and three ribs.
They then burned his person in diff
ferent parts and tortured him in hor-
rible manner.
Mr.. Miller states that about year
age three men broke into his house and
compelled him to give them $1,7OO,
threatening him if he told of the loss
that they would murder him. For fear
of being killed he said nothing about it
till now.
The people are satisfied that the
criminals live about here, as numerous
cases of robbery are being reported by
the farmers. Miller is in a precarious
