INJURED BY AN EXPLOSION.
Andrew Campbell Terribly Burnt
About Breast and Face.

The fire department called to the
Spencer House yesterday shortly before
noon. The appearance of the engines and
hose wagons caused some excitement among
the guests of the hotel, but they soon
learned that the fire was of small size so
the excitement was short lived The fire
was confined to the engine room. The gas
under one of the furnaces exploded be-
cause of lack of air, making a loud re-
port and setting fire to the place. 1t took
the department but few minutes to ex-
tinguish it, however. The loss is estimated
at $500, which was mostly to the furnace.
Andrew Campbell employee of the
Consumers Gas Company, was seriously in
jured in the explosion. He was adjusting
pipes. Campbell and a fellow workman
were engaged in adjusting the gas pipes and
had neglected to extinguish the fire in the
furnace. Campbell was terribly burned
about the breast and face and Dr. C. /.
Fletcher, who attended him, fears that his
eyes may be permanently injured. He was
taken to the Germania House where he
boards. The small fire was caused from the
explosion.

THREE TERRE HAUTE BILLS.
They Seek to Regulate Insurance
Business in the State.

AT a recent meeting of some of the
largest property owners of Terre Haute
with the Representatives in the Legislature
from Vigo county, three bills to be intro
duced in that body next week were agreed
upon. One is to declare invalid the pro-
vision in insurance policies which, requires
the insured to carry insurance to the
amount of so per cent. of the value of the
property to secure payment of the face
value of the policy, in case of total fire
loss. Another is to amend the law which
provides that foreign company must have
100000 paid-up capital stock to do business
in the State. 1t is proposed to make the
amount 100000. The third is to amend the
laws so that al Indiana company may be
able to do insurance business as mex
pensively as an outside company Within
the past year there has been a general IN
crease in the cost of insurance
