THREE BURNED.
An Explosion of a Lamp Very Nearly
 Results Fatally-A Heroic Rescue.

About 5:30 o'clock yesterday evening lamp began acting badly in servants house in the rear of Miss Maggie Keat- ing's residence on Eighteenth street, be- tween Third and Fourth avenues.
 A negro woman and two children were in the room at the time, and the former becoming excited dashed the lamp to the floor. It immediately exploded, scatter ing the burning oil over the woman and children. Covered with flames the wo- man rushed into the house and was caught by Miss Maggie Keating who at once began tearing the burning gar ments from the negress. She finally suc- ceeded in extinguishing the flames, but not until the negress was badly burned
 Miss Keating's hands were severely burned in her heroic efforts to save the woman.
 The two children were also badly burn ed before their clothes could be removed.

A LONG RUN
And Effective Work Done by the South Side Fire Department Early
 Last Night.

About 7:15 o'clock last night an alarm of fire was turned in from box 125, Avenue H and Twenty-fourth street, and the South Side department responded promptly. On arriving there they found the fire away up on the hill at Crowder Station on the Howard Avenue and Belt dummy line. Striking the macadamized road the firemen hurried on to the scene and found MT. R. L. Thornton's residence on fire.
 By quick work, all disadvantages con- sidered, the fire was soon subdued.
 A lamp had exploded in a room on the lower floor and the flames soon eat their way through the two ceilings and on to the roof, which was destroyed. Nearly all the furniture was saved, though some of it in damaged condition.
 The run was an unusually long one and difficult inasmuch as the road was up hill nearly all the way and the firemen are to be commended for their work.

DR. G. B. GROVE
Raising a Company to Go to Cuba to Go Into ths Sugar Business-EIis Con
 test Case.

Dr. Grove was seen late yesterday afternoon in the rotunda of the Morris hotel by a State Herald reporter His attention was called to the publications that he is raising a company to go to Cuba.
 T am raising a company to go to Gu ba," casually remarked the doctor, but not for the purpose of fighting, as some of the papers have stated. That is, we don'c want to do any fighting. Our company desires to go into the sugar raising busi- ness, and we want only brave and tried men, whom the Spaniards will respect in case we tell them they must not tramp down our crop or interfere with our mills. I have about thirty names regis tered, and think I will raise very good and solid company. I think it a good time now to make money in Cuba in the sugar business"
 What about your contest case for the seat of Congressman Underwood?" asked the reporter.
 My attorneys will begin taking testi- mony next Saturday. 1 have all the ar engagements made for gathering the tes- timony, and will devote but little per- sonal attention to the matter. 1 have q good case, and am satisfied my rights in the premises will be sustained.
 T have fitted up business office over the Bank saloon, corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, and would be pleased to have you call around. In the meantime, if anything new develops in my Cuban deal of public interest, l will take pleasure in letting you know"

AT O'BRlEN'S.

Glen McDonough's jolly musical com edy, "The Prodigal Father was the at traction at O'Briens yesterday afternoon and evening and was we'll patronized and deservedly so, as the company is one of the best of the season and the entertain ment is in a class to itself.
 The plot is simply as follows:
 A wealthy old geographer starts out to explore Africa, but before his steamer sails he meets with a diversion in the shape of a serio-comic actress. He straightway gives up his scientific ideas and tags after her for six months. He receives no encouragement and so gives up the chase. Arrives at home, he tells his family of the imaginary adventures of the Dark Continent
 His son is tangled up with the same wo- man and she arrives at the family resi- dence unannounced and creates breeze. Specialties of a fine character are inter- spersed throughout the play.
 It would require too much space to give due credit to the cast individually, but special mention should be made of Ti- tenia, the greatest toe dancer ever seen in this city, and Rose Melville, as the heroine of the play, and as Sis Hopkins, "the jay girl from Slab Hollow"
 The company deserve packed houses wherever they go.
