FIREMAN INJURED.
Ststionman John billiard, who hsd
not entirely recovered from the bruis-
es he received a week ago in the cap
sizing Of the ladder truck, was Sc
riously injured this morning about 6
O'Clock while fighting fire. Chef
Wood started in the front door OF the
burning building, and billiard started
to follow. The Chief got through in
safety, but billiard was crushed down
by falling floor after he had taken
only few steps into the building.
Harry Ashbrook and John Slaughter
extricated him, and he was carried 10

Robertson gave him medical atten-
tiou. billiard was found to be inter-
nally hurt, but his injuries may net
prove serious.
Chief Wood received a violent
shock in the alley adjoining the
building from a live electric light
wire, but continued work, not being
much hurt.
Iii afteInoon billiard, who was
ca ried to his home on Broad street,
was resting easy.
HARD on THE EMPLOYEES.
A pathetic scene might have been
witnessed as the employees OF the
factory, one by one, began to arrive
with their dinner baskets early this
morning to go to work. The unex-
pected surprise cast gloom over
them that was perfectly iustilable,
for they realized then for the first
time that they had in a few hours
been deprived OF a means Of liveli-
hood, which, although il may be only
temporary, is hardship. Many OF
them lost tools, and the number OF
men and girls employed in the fac
tory was 81.
THE BUILDINGS.
The firm Of Rehkopf d Sons has
suffered many times from fire, but
his mornings blaze was one of the |
worst. The collar factory had been
ocated there since 1877, and it is
he frst time buildings on this site
we're destroyed. The first building
rected was the middle one, in 1877.
The building nearest the street was

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseag.d portion OF the ear. There Is only
one way TO cure deafness. aud that Is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an intlamed condition OF the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets

deafness Is the result, aud unless the inham

TO its normal condition, hearing will be de-

caused by catarih, which is nothing but an in.

Soldiers Are Returning Home and
Conditions Becoming Normal.
There have been no important develop
mcnts lately in the coal mining situation
at Nirden, ILL.,, and affairs are monotonous-
ly dragging along. The company's works
are at a %standstill, and it is thought that
no further attempts will be made 10 im-
port negro miners.
The most exciting incident of the situa-
ton since the fight of Oct. - was The de-
parturc to Chicago of Manager Fred w.
I%.nk;.s. He was cond.c.,vu 10 the train
outside the stockade by a large body OF
soldiers and hastily put aboard. 1t was
feared that an attack would be made upon
him, but none was attempted, and, accord
ing to q dispatch, the community breathed
a sigh Of relief when the train bearing him
to the general Offices of the compan in
Chicago pulled out OF the town. Earlicr
in the day Lukins had given u bond of
$1,000 for his future appearance on the
charge Of conspiracy to murder. The same
charges have been made against II. O
Loucks of Chicago. president of the com
pany, and other officers.
Meantime the situation has toned down
to almost normal conditions, and many of
the soldiers have been sent home. The
services of all Of them will perhaps be dis
pensed with soon. The future develop.
ments in the troubles between the miners
and the coal company will likely be in the
| courts of MacOupin County.

No salute by ships of war exceeds

STORM ON rHE LAKEs.
wild Wind and Waves Work Terrible

49,
Havoc.
From all over the great lakes Wednes-
day came tales Of wrecks, dangers and
narrow escapes in the terrific gale Of Tues
day night. The storm was defined by the
weather authorities as a cyclone, with its
center between Chicago and Grand Ha-
ven, Mich. Tales Of numerous wrecks
and dangers came from all points in the
southern portion Of Lake Michigan. 1t
will be several days before all the story
of the storm can be learned.
So far as Chicago is concerned, the
storm was the most disastrous of recent
years, not excepting the great gale of
May, 1894. Old tugmen say that the
wave were higher than at any time since
1880, when the lake shore road and a part
of Lincoln Park were washed away. Lin
coin Park Commissioners estimate the
damage done by the storm at $4,000.
Fisk Hall, the large new building OF the
Northwestern University, was for a time
in great danger of serious injury from the
high waves. The wall that was built out
into the lake to protect the building from
just such storms was washed away at a
loss of $4,000. The steamer III. A. Tuttlc,
laden with grain from Chicago, went down
off Michigan City, the crew being taken
off by life savers,
