TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Six Persons Killed and Eighteen
Severely Injured.

At Cincinnati Monday night a
five story building, occupied by
saloons below and flats above,
was blown to the ground by an
explosion Of gasoline.
The saloons in the building
had put in their own electric
plants for incandescent lights
and had just secured a gasoline
engine with which to run the
dynamo. The plant got out of
fix, and there was a flash which
communicated to the gasoline
and caused the explosion, The
sudden collapse of the large
building smothered everything
in tie cellar, so there was no fire.
The shock was terrific and it
was felt all over the city and not
one brick Oh another is left III
the front and rear walls of the
building. while the adjacent
buildings are badly damaged.
1t is not known how many
people were in the flats or how
many were in the saloons, but
none escaped, as the building
Immediately collapsed.
Six persons have been taken
from the debris dead and eigh>
teen severely injured. 1t is
thought that at least forty others
are in the ruins.

EDUCATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
Now to Secure an Encyclopedia Die.
tiOnary at II Nominal Price.

A liberal and wholly unique offer is
announced today by The Tribune in
connection with that great reference
library, the Encyclopaedia Dictionary.
The proposition Is under the caption,
important Announcement to Read
ers," and will wonder how the offer
can be made. The set is in four large
quartO volumes of over 5000 pages, en-
bellished with numerous explanatory
illustrations. 1t is based on the En-
cyclOpaedic Dictionary issued in Eng
land, which for over seventeen years
claimed the services of a large corps of
editors, literary workers and special
lists, among whom We're such scholars
as Professor Huxley, Professor Proctor
and others standing equally high in
their several departments of knowl-
edge.
The labor of the American editors
and experts. of whom there were a
large number, consisted in additions
and revisiOns necessary to make the
dictionary thoroughly practical and
useful for Americans, not only the
scholastic and literary, but the busily
occupied man of affairs, who wants to
know quickly, conciseiy and accurate
ly about words, things and facts claim
ing his notice from day to day.
In this regard the encyclopaedia fea-
lures are of paramount value since
one is enabled to practically dispense
with all other reference works, If the
Encyclopedia Dictionary is at hand.
The subscription price of the work is
S42.0O. but The Tribune now offers a
limited number of sets on terms which
amount to only cents a day, this be-
ing done by special arrangement with
the publishers to introduce and ad-
vertise the work. Prompt action is
necessary in order to take advantage
of this offer for these few sets will be
placed in a short time.
1t should be noted that anyone not
finding the work precisely as repre-
sented may return the same within
ten days, and the payment will be at
once refunded.
The Encyclopaedia set constitutes a
superb Christmas gift which will cause
the giver to be ever held in grate-
full remembrance.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Tomorrow nights attraction at the
rockingham will he Chauncey Olcott
in "MavOurneen.' The performance
will he given as benefit for the Scran-
ton Bicycle club and an Overtlowing
house is probable. "Mavourncan" is
the work of Augustus Pitou and George
II. Jessup. and is charming picture of
life on the "Ould Sod" over a century
ago. Although the play is rich in hu-
NOR and Hibernian witticisms, it is not
a satire or burlesque. But a true pic
ture from real life. The peasant, as he
is depicted in it, still goes his happy
way among his native mountains and
the prototype of Chauncey Olcott's
Irish lad can be found everywhere in
the land of the shamrock.
Friday evening attraction at the
rockingham is Frank Daniels and his
company in THE Wizard of the Nile"
which so captivated theatregOers last
season. Mr.. Daniels work in this opera
has placed him in the front rank Of
light opera comedian. His supporting
company still continues to include
Louise Royle, Walter Allen and Leo
nard Walker i'm the roles they created
last season. The only new face is that

ate from a four years course of study

Carriage of the Chief Collapsed at
Cherry Street and PittstOn Avenue,

As Chief Hickey was on his way to
visit the William Connell hose house
on Pittston avenue Yesterday morning
his carriege struck a bad spot in the
road at the intersection of Cherry street
and away went the vehicle to smash.
The chief was driving his horse on a

without injury and kept the horse from
running away. The resolution awarding
the contract for the construction of a
new carriage to Conrad Peil, the South
Side wagon builder, was signed by
Mayor Bailey yesterday, but it will be
at least four weeks until the carriage is
built
In the meantime Chief Hickey is with
out means to get to fires unless he
straddles his steed and goes mounted,
or gets bicycle, or takes a street car.
There has been no, provision made for
q carriage for him awaiting the con-
structiOn of the new one. unless he
