Found Dead.

On Wednesday James w.
Knots while at work on his farm
near Knottsville, was attracted
by All unpleasant odor that came
from a patch of woods near
where he was employed. He
proceeded to investigate for the
purpose of ascertainihgsthe cause
of the bad odor. 1t was found
near rock cliff, and looking over
a projecting rock from above, he
saw on the ground just under Its
edge the badly decayed remains
of a man. He gave notice of
this horrible discovery to others
ana closer investigation revealed
the fact that the remains were
those of VIM. Mcdaniel, an old
and we'll known, but eccentric
character of the county, and who
has been familiarly known as

dances for many years gone by.
He has been making his home in
Grafton for a number of years.
He has been missing for a month
and it is presumed from the de.
cayed condition in which the
body was found that he has been
dead that length of time. just
how the old man came to his
death is not known. Close by
and under the projecting rock
was found the old mans ever
present companion, the fiddle,
carefully wrapped in an old
coat. The deceased was never
married. He was a brother of

AFRlGHTFUL DISASTER.
Gasoline Explosion Wrecks Building and
Buries Inmates in the Ruins.

Cincinnati, May 4.-What may prove
the most disastrous calamity of the year
occurred in this city tonight, when five
story brick structure filled with people
collapsed, burying the inmates beneath
Its ruins. It is impossible to say how
many persons have been killed, some
placing the number as high as forty ito as
ow as fifteen. A terrible explosion occurred
about 7.45. The fire department. found
the building wreck. The explosion
was caused by the ignition of a gasoline
tank. The best authorities agree that
the commutator of gasoline engine in
the cellar had been burned out setting fire
to the gasoline. The walls of the build
ings adjoining remained intact.
