PECULIAR.
A Family Horribly Burned by an Ex-
plOsiOn of Gasoline VapOr--The
Husband Caused tie Trouble in
Lighting a Cigar.

Chicago, August S-Three persons,
composing the family Of Peter Veth,
living az No. 227 East Huron street,
were seriously burned yesterday in a
fire caused by an explosion of gasoline.
The injured are: Peter Veth, Mrs Bes-
sic Veth his wife. and Edwin Veth,
aged, two and One-half years. Mrs.
Veth was more seriously injured than
her husband and child, but she will
probably recover.
Mrs. Neth went to the rooms of Mrs.
G.. II. Solomon, on the second floor,
from whom she had rented the rooms,
and procured a small quantity of gaso-
line in a coffee cup to clean a brass
bedstead Taking it into her room,
she used the stuff in cleaning the bed
and with a brush applied it 10 the
woodwork, while the cup containing
the oil stood on the floor beside her.
Her little boy. with bare feet and wear
ing but little clothing, was playing on
the floor. 1t was not noticed that the
gasoline had filled the room with va
pOr. and Mr.. Veth struck a match for
the purpose of lighting a cigar In
an instant there was an explosion and
the room was filed with flames. The
flames caught the clothing Of Mrs.
Veth. The husband caught up the
child in his arms and ran down stairs
out of the fire. A few seconds later he
was followed by his wife, who was
screaming and enyeloped in flames.
from head to foot. All her clothing
was burning and the wrapper she wore
fell from her in burning strips. At
the landing on the second floor she
met Mrs Solomon, the landlady. and
the frantic woman threw her arms
around Mrs. Solomon and begged her
to save her. Mrs Solomon disengaged
herself only to be grasped again about
the neck by the agonized woman. She
succeeded in shaking her OF and order
ing her to remain standing where she
was. ran into one OF her own rooms
and procured a pitcher of water which
she poured on Mrs. Veth This was
repeated by the landlady and then the
latter threw around Mrs Veth a large
Quilt from one of her beds. and the
flames were subdued The boys in
juries were not serious. After giving
the boy 10 an officer Mr.. Veth ran up
stairs and found his wife in the rooms
of Mrs. Solomon. In all her pain Mrs.
Veth cried out for her child and
could with difficulty be made to be-
Heve that his injuries were compare
lively light. The mother was remov-
ed at once in the East Chicago avenue
ambulance to the German hospital.
There the physician. after dressing her
burns. said she would probably recoy-
er. Mr.. Veth was taken to the same
hospital. His hands and arms are Sc
MERELY burned and his hair and eye

SAME OLD STORY.

The Peach Crop is short. Except in One
Locality.
Chambersburg, Pa, August Sine
Blue mountain peach belt Of Southern
Pennsylvania and Western Maryland
is the only part of the country that
will have more than twenty or twenty
five per cent. of a crop this year. The
shortage is especially great in Wiscon-
sin. Ohio, Delaware and the eastern
shore of Maryland.
All through this section the trees are
breaking down with fruit. Shipments
in refrigerator cars to the city have
begun, and spectators are here from
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New YORK
arranging TO buy up whole orchards.

Clarksburg Mail.
There seems TO be a general gain all
along the line in favor Of the strikers
this week. The papers say DeArmitt's
men are nearly all out and the mines
are practically closed. We know, that
work in the Clarksburg region is en-
tirely suspended, and five hundred men
who were making from two to four dol
lars per day last week are now idle,
and are now all full-hedged members
of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea. They hold nightly meetings and
are constantly adding to their member

day and made them a speech to about
three hundred miners. They declare
their intention Of staying out until the
strike is finally settled, and If history
repeats itself in this instance they will
continue to stay out when the strike
ends. and the Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ill
inois and Indiana miners go back to
shipping their usual contribution Of
black diamonds to the commercial
world. The Mail advises our local min
ers to stay at work. 1t saw so adyan-
tage to them in quitting the mines and
it has yet failed TO see just cause for
striking. The Mail is with them in a
Just struggle, but IL is claimed that
they have no grievance and have taken
up another peoples fight. Our home
miners have manifested a noble spirit
of self-sacrifce in giving up good jobs
to aid their oppressed brethren. in 9TH

action in a noble spirit of generosity as

AN OBJECT LESSON,

Clarksburg News,
The News has on several occasions
called the attention of its readers TO
the pernicious book law OF West Viz

Republican Legislature last winter. In

law is enough to condemn all the pre-
tentions OF the Hannaites to honesty
as deceptions, hypccritical and false.
They can no longer claim to be the
friends OF education so long as the
