WHOLE FAMILY BURNED.
Four Dead and Two Others Seriously
Injured.

Four Dead and Two Others Seriously
Injured.
By the explosion of a gasoline stove on
Townsend street. Chicago. yesterday 4
family of six persons was almost exter-
minated. Four are dead, and a fifth was
so badly burned that death seemed almost
certain. the names of the dead are:
Otto Malm, d carpenter, thirty-two years
old: Sima Malm, eighty years old; Hilya
Malm, six years old; Otto Malm jr three
years old.
The injured are: Mrs. Ella Malm, thirty
three years old, burned about the hands,
arms and face; will recover. Ellen Malm,
eight years old, severely burned about the
head and body; will probably die.
Mrs. Malm, the wife and mother had
risen to prepare breakfast, and her hus-
band and children were still asleep in bed.
She lighted q gasoline stove when the
reservoir which holds the supply of ell
exploded, throwing the burning fluid about
the room. Before the sleeping members
of the family could be taken out or even
warned, they were shut in by flames, and
plosion occurred Mrs. Malm rushed fran
tica!ly from the dwelling and screamed for
help. She then returned to the house, soon
reappearing with her three-year-old child
In her arms. Pieces of burning clothing
still adhered to the burned flesh Of the
babe and it died shortly afterward. The
screams of the mother had by this time
brought the neighbors TO the scene.
The fire department was Summoned, end
the firemen rushed into the rooms and re-
moved the inmates, while water was
thrown upon the flames.
The mothers burns were attended to by
the doctors. She was removed to the home
of friends.

KEPT IN THE BIG WHEEL,
Unpleasant Experience of a Numb
of English FIeaaurc Seekera

unpIcasant Experience of q Number
of English Pleasure Seekers.
AS curious coincidence, while the men,
bers Of the British house of commons were
practically confined in that most comfort
able of all clubs Thursday night a num-
Der of people, men, women and children.
were undergoing somewhat similar expert
ences at Earls Court London Quite
a party had entered the great wheel there
XII own as the gigantic wheel and recrca-
ten towers" This structure is an imita
ton of the famous Ferris wheel of the
Chicago worlds fair, but it is larger, the
highest point of the London wheel being
800 feet from the ground, while the top of
the FERRIS wheel was only 264 feet high
Then, again, the London wheel carries
forty large cars, while the Chicago wheel
only had thirty-six. All the cars Of the
Chicago wheel were alike, but ten cars of
the London wheel are upholstered and
luxuIiously furnished for the use of first
class passengers. Five of these are re-
served for smokers and five for non-smok-
ers; the remaining thirty cars carry sec
ond-class passengers. the full capacity of
the wheel being 1900 people. On top of
the two towers on which the wheel re-
wolves are two promenade saloons.
Shortly before S:15 o'clock Thursday night
the wheel started with quite number of
people and everything went merrily until
$40, when the structure ceased revolving
At first little or no attention was paid to
the matter. but as time passed and the
wheel would not bulge those who were
able to do SO left the cars and steps were
taken to rescue those who were imprisoned
higher up. Ladders We're procured, and
flater, fire escapes were used.
But in spite of all these efforts quite a
number of people were compelled to re-
main aloft. Every means was reSorted to
to feed them and make them comfortable
for the night
They eventually went to sleep, but awoke
the next morning early and in q very
hungry condition.
By means of ropes cans of coffee and
baskets of bread and other provisions were
hauled up to them, and the work Of try
ing to revolve the wheel was resumed,
But 1t was not until noon Friday that the
prisoners were finally released, amid much
cheering from crowds who had assembled
to witness the rescue

TWO EXPEDITIONS FOn CUBA.
Steamers Loaded With Men and NUM-
lions Steal Away From Florida Shores

Special to the New York Herald.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla, May 23.-Two
filibustering expeditions are now afioat for
Cuba. One of these expeditions Is carried
by the Lanrada and the other by the Three
Friends.
The Laurada, which has just landed an
expedition In Cuba, arrived off the bar yes
terday morning to secure another cargo.
The vessel lay outside the bar yesterday,
fearing to enter the river because of the
presence Of the United States revenue cut
ter Boutwell,. There was a large quantity
of arms. and ammunition stored at the
mouth Of the ST. Johns river which the
lLaurada wanted, but it seemed for q time
that the vessel could not get them. Some
time last night, however. the tug Kate
Spencer, which was not suspected, went
down to the bar, secured the arms and
took them out to the Laurada.
But the arms were only a portion of the
cargo intended for the Laurada- About ten
miles below jacksonville there were nearly
one hundred Cubans who were waiting to
go on board the LauraGa. They were led
by Rafael Portuando, formerly Maceo' S
chief OF staff but now secretary of state
of the Cuban republic. Fortunate has been
in this country several weeks, and came
with his men on a special train from
Tampa last night.
LRerndA Safely Away.
After the Kate Spencer delivered the arms
to the Laurada she returned up the river
to the point where Portuando and his men
were waiting. The Cubans quickly board
ed the tug, which again crossed the bar
and transferred the men to the Laurada.
The men We're transferred about l O'Clock
this morning, and in q few minutes there
after the Laurada was once more off for
Cuba.
Meanwhile the Three Friends, laden with
arms and ammunition, was lying just below
Jacksonville, watched by the revenue cut
ter Boutwell, The Three Friends had
cleared for Key West, and the character
OF her cargo was stated. During the night
Capt keigore. of the Boutwell, received
orders from Washington not to detain the
Three Friends unless she had a military
expedition on board. Accordingly, about j
CLOCK this morning, the Three Friends
headed for the bar, followed by the cutter.
Cutter Did Not Interfere.
The Three Friends crossed about Z
o'clock. and the Boutwell, half an hour
later. The cutter followed the Three
three-mile limit. Then the United States
vessel came back and retutnea to the bar.
The Three Friends proceeded south.
her cargo to the Lauradh Is, not known.
| Senior Mariategui, the spanisH' vice consul
Is very indignant. He THINKS both the
Laurada and Three Friends1i should have
been seized. The Laura4fa27 and Three
Friends are prepared to fsshtIin case they
are attacked by Spaniafls. Each vessel
has several cannon mounted. ~

JOHN J. INGALLS, said in his speech at
Lyons, recently, that he had been for
prohibition and against it, he had been
for woman suffrage and against it, he
had been for free silver and against it,
and had been for himetallism and
against it just as the party platform
had happened to declare. He also said
that the republican party never could
make a platform he would not stand
upon. Johnny evidently is willing to
swallow any dose so long as he gets the
senatorial plum.
