TO ANALYZE HIS STOMACH.
Autopsy Performed on the Body o
william II. Dunn.

William II. Dunn, superintendent Of the
Municipal Lodging House on Twelfth
street, died yesterday afternoon at Gar
field Hospital. as announced in The Even
ing Times of yesterday.
Mr.. Dunn was taken sick at the lodging
house on NJ onday, but it was not thought
that the case was serious. On Tuesday
he was removed to Garfield Hospital and
complained of pains in the stomach. He
said that he had been all right till he
had begun to treat himself with a certain
alleged cure for the tobacco habit.
He had been an inveterate chewer of
the weed and had sought to break him
self OF this habit. He had bought box
OF the patent preparation and the tablets,
OF which he had taken a number, seemed
to disagree with him. After his admis-
sion to the ospital his case was dia gnosed
as kidney trouble.
An autopsy was performed on the body
last evening by Deputy Coroner Glaze
brook. The heart, lungs. liver and kid
OF the stomach were sent to the District
chemist. The antidotes for nicotinepoison
ing are strychnia, belladonna and other
powerful tonics that act rs cxeitants TO IN g
circulatory system. el4 r.
The remains were taken charge Of by
Mr.. Barnaclo, an attache OF the office
of the superintendent of charities. He
wired the friends of the dead man at his
former hone In Shelby, Mich. and the
body was removed 10 VeerhofTs under
taking rooms, awaiting response 10 the
telegram.

NO WATER IN THE BOILER
Continued From First Page.

had been given at least one formal notice
that he was negligent. The owners Of the
property are the heirs OF the late Congress
man Newherry, who was the business
partner of Senator Mcmillan.
The engineer, Thomas NJ. Thompson, to-
day made his first statement of his view
OF the disaster. He is the inventor of a
burner for feeding fuel oil 10 furnaces and
these burners were used on the boilers.
Thompson has had charge of the boilers
since 1889 and supervised their removal
from another building four years ago.
He was away from Tie engine room at the
time, but only few minutes before lie
had looked at his gueges and found them
satisfactory.
He was letting steam out of one boiler
with sixty-fivc pounds pressure into an
other in which fifteen pounds of steam WAS
on and everything seemed to be working
smoothly. One theory is that the water
from one boiler siphoned into the other
through the feed pipe because OF The I'M
equal pressures.
After the coroners inquest the matter
OF responsibility WIFI probably be taken
up by the grand jury now in session.
RELIEF FOR VICTIMS FAMILIES.

humble circumstances, Gen. r. A. Alger

Three of the persons injured yesterday
are in a DANCE condition, Annie
O'Donghue, Arthur d. Lynch, stereotyper,

The portion of the Journal building
which survived the explosion was to-day
condemned by the building inspectors.
There is not a close joint in the whole
five-story structure. The whole build

One of the undertakers who gained no.
toriety yesterday by fighting for corpse,
again came before the public to-day.
He was at Emerg ency Hospital when
Lizzie Tapley breathed her last, and as
sumed charge. The idea OF his having
charge was too revolving for the friends
of tine young lady and they protested,
but the undertaken refused to give up the
remains. The family protested to Coroner
Butler and he 1t once made the undertaken
