BRICKS BLOWN BY DYNAMITE.
L Woman Hurt by nm Explosion u
the Lansburgh Rink.

There was an accident in the ruins of the
Lansburgh building yesterday that came
near having fatal results. Workmen en-
gagged in pulling down the walls on the rear
of the lot used dynamite to expedite mat
tiers. One stick was placed under the tallest
lille and loosely covered over. When it was
discharged one of the bricks was sent fly
ing through the air. 1t tore through the
rear window on the third floor of the house
a. 72S 18th street.
The third floor of the house is occupied
by a dressmaker. and one of the seam
stresses. Miss Minnie Harrison. was sit
ting some little distance from the window.
The brick struck her with great force on
the side of the neck. She was rendered
unconscious and for time it was thought
she had been seriously injured. She was
much better today, however, and was able
to be at work, although still suffering con-
siderable pain.
A brick also fell in wagon on 14th street,
coming near striking the driver.
Building Inspector Brady said this after
room that in tearing down the walls the
workmen had been allowed to use small
amount of the explosive. but only mu:h
as was used after the Knox fire. One of
the inspectors in his office was on hand
yesterday to oversee the work. but the
frst he knew Of any accident was when
he was told of it by a Star reporter this
afternoon.

WANTS A CONSULSBIP.
Col. Perry Carson After a Diplomatic
Position.


Col. Perry Carson is candidate for a
coasulshp under the Mckinley adrninistra-
ton. AS delegate from the ccored people
of the District of Columbia to republican
national conventions for the last twenty
years he has gained the name as a leader
of his people, He doesn't claim 10 be an
original Mckinley man, but Senator Allison
is his friend, and he believes his record As
a staunch republican will pull him through
He does not want Job under the Dis
trict government, and his desire for a con-
sulship will be partly based ON the condi-
ton of his health.
Il want to go as consul to some place
where l will be relieved from the asthma,
from which 1 am constantly suffering, .
said the colonel today. ITO look at me no
one would think l am anything but healthy,
but l am not well man. Every night l
nave to sit up two or three hours in bed
to get relief from the misery in my side
Not only does the asthma trouble me, but
have heart trouble. l don't show the
wear of years. but that is because of the
people l came from. People won't believe
1t when l say my grandmother was Mo-
hawk Indian. but that is the fact and there
are people in Kent county. Nd, who will
guarantee that fact. My father lived to be
ninety-five years old, and never had a
wrinkle in his face"
to the new republic of Cuba or to any other
southern port, where he could hope for re-
lief from his cough by a mild climate. The
colonel has changed his habits of life a
good deal of late.
The time was" he said today, when 1
liked excitement but that time is past
Now l go to my room in the evening and
stay there. 1 am passing along in life, and
/ hope to be able to spend few years in
mild climate and coax good health back
again.
