confounds the terms cheerfplly and COM

eag-yolk and milk Of stock, where the
creme proper is thiekened with rich,
creamy bechamel instead of bread
crumbs, and is mixed with egg yoiks

is more delicate, lighter and more cx-

Minnery can not live until morn

Clarke survived sufficiently to
talk coherently, and it is thought
he will recover. 1t was necessary
to put strong guard OF police
around the manhole to prevent any
one approaching with light, for a
mere spark would have caused a
frightful explosion and consequent
loss of life. The gas was turned off

Identity of An Unknown Man Murder-
ed Near NelsOnville Sunday Still
Mystery.

JACKSONVILLE, OHIO, Nov. 15.-
The identity of the unknown man
who died yesterday is still mys-
terry. Many think that he was a
farm hand, was murdered by
tramps and his body placed on the
railroad track. His clothes bore
the mark of Cincinnati tailoring
Arm. He was probably 25 years
old, feet 8 inches tall, dark hair
smooth face and brown eyes. He
wore No. Il black soft hat and
No. 6 boots, handmade and with
blue tops.
The dead man h"s a scar above
the left knee-cap three quarters of
an inch long by one quarter of an
inch wide, scar above the left
ankle one and three quarters by
three quarter inches, and an I-shap-
ed scar on the first knuckle of the
right hand. He has full set of
teeth, without any dentistry work.
Some think he came from Colum-
bus.

vitations to discuss the failure In
which he played such a conspicuous
part.
Lemuel Eli Quigg, who was Boss
Platt's mouthpiece in the recent
New York municipal campaign
and who is about the most dis
credited political prophet of the
day, was at the White House this
week. His Interview with Mr.. Nc
Kinley may or may not have in
cluded Cuban affairs, but when 1t
is remembered how he shouted for
free Cuba during the last session of
Congress, the following language
used by him after he left the White
House is considered significant: "I
hope that Congress will not at
tempt to conduct our foreign rela-
tions. They are much better left TO
the administration. There was a
time, perhaps, When resolution
comforting belligerent rights upon
the Cubans might have been pass
ed without bringing on war with
Spain, but that time has gone. If
the Spanish people have spark of
manhood left there could be but
one result of any Congressional
declaration favoring Cuba. Our
people do not want war with any
one. There is no possible compen-
sation for it. We are not in a
proper condition of defense, and il
Is absurd to invite a war until we
are ready for one" That is about
as complete flipfop as any man
in public life has taken on the
Cuban question, and II indicates
that the do-nothing policy is to be
continued by Mr.. Mckinley.

Have Their Second Explos-
ion at Chillicothe. /
Clark a Former Superin-
tendant of the Plant in LO-
gan one the Victims.
One Dead aud Two others in Danger.
Accident Occurred While Repairing
the Regulator-The Victims Employ
es ofthe Logan Natural Gas Co. :
at Chiillc0the. '

Chillicothe Is unfortunate with
her natural gas commodity, haying
had her second explosion since its
Introduction into that city. Below
we give a resume of the accident
as taken from the Commercial Tri-
bune as follows: 8
superintendent s. H. Clark of
the Logan Natural Gas Company,
and two employees, James Orr and
James Minnery, were overcome,in
the Paint street regulator vault this
afternoon at four o'clock by rush
of gas that issued from pipe con-
Meeting with the regulator from the
Mead Paper Company's plant.
A leak had been discovered, and
the Superintendent entered the un-
derground house to direct the ad-
justment. Orr made a mistake by
pulling out the plug from the
branch pipe before closing the flow
from the main, and a second later
the gas enveloped the room before
the men had u chance. to make
their escape from the small opening
over their heads.
All three started for the ladder,
but in the excitement fought like
fiends to get away from certain
death. They did not loose con-
sciousness, and their screams at.
tracted the attention of VIM. Hen
ness, who ran to the spot, and real
izing what was going on below him
ran for assistance.
Aid arrived from the paper mill,
and by the time ropes were secur-
ed three men were writhing in
agony In pool of black mud which
covered the bottom of the vault. A
loop was made in the rope and a
hook attached, but it was many
minutes before the last man was
drawn through the hole. These at
work also ran great risk, as the
gas was pouring out of the vault,
filling their nostrils with the sick
ening odor, but as long as life was
at stake the men worked heroic
ally to save the unfortunateS.
The spectacle which followed the
recovery of the three half dead
men was frightful. Their screams
could be heard blocks away, and 1t
took halfa dozen strong men to
hold Superintendent Clarke, whose
agony was terrible to Witness: Orr
and Minnery were placed on their
backs and held in that position un-
til six physicians who had been
summoned, arrived upon the scene.
A heavy tarpaulin was wrapped
around Clarke to prevent his using
his hands and feet, and by the as
sistance of strong men he was held
quiet while the doctors administer
ed the necessary restoratives.
In less than half hour after
the men had been rescued, crowd
of nearly thousand people fiocked
to the scene, but hundreds turned
away almost Immediately being

The Sunday morning passenger

does not effect the day morning

Fearful Powder Explosion Leaves Its
Victim Alive, Hut He Prob

Special to the NEWS
OGDEN. Utah, July 3Otb.-Ogden
canyon WAS the scene of another ex-
llosion about 9 O'Clock this morning,
which may result In the denth OF
William Bowler, who resides on
Quincy avenue In this city.
The explosion occurred at what ia
known 40 the corner house Of the old
powder mills. formerly used as
store house. How 1t occurred 10 not ex-
actly known, although it is presumed
that Bowler had been inside the
house, and as there were number OF
copper coils there he may have caused
spark by rummsging among them,
or may have dropped q match. He
can give no rational explanation OF the
affair. The house has not been used
for ten or twelve years, but It was
thick with powder Dust.
The explosion was a violent one,
blowing down the walls of the build
ing and carrying the roof some dist.
ance away.
Bowler was fright.ully burned from
head to foot, there being scarcely an
inch Of skin that was not SCARED. He
walked from the scene to house in
thei caDyon,a distance OF about 200 feet,
where be was attended to and q
physician summoned. All he had on
him was his shoes and q collar. Every
glitch Of clothing had been blown of
him,Or having caught FIRE he had torn
1t off. He has wife and fam.
lily. He says he went there
fishing, but unless he was
insido the house, 1t seems hardly piob-
able that he could sustain the ipjuriee
he did. The skin simply peels Of him.
His finger nails have been blown of
and altogether he Ia CHASTITY sight.
The doctor considers his recovery
