GREENFIELD, Ind, Nov. 7.-At 1880
o'clock tonight, while Lew Banks and
Horace Barnett were repairing a gas leak
in the two-story brick block belonging to
William Frazier, on Pennsylvania street,
the gas exploded and wrecked the building.
The four walls were blown out and the
second floor and the roof fell to the first
floor. Banks and Barnett were both caught
in the wreck on the first floor but neither
was dangerously hurt, although both were
severely cut about the face and head. Banks
had two teeth Knocked out and one driven
up into his jaw. He was able to crawl out,
but Barnett who was further back in the
building, was pinned down between two
sleepers and had to be cut out. The ad-
joining building belonging to Mrs w. S.
Cant was also wrecked. Houses were
shaken for blocks and plate glass broken in
adjacent buildings. The Frazier room was
being fitted up for an election room to-mor-
row. 1t had not been occupied since Post
master w. S. Montgomery moved the Green
field Republican Office from it last May.

finishes with a rescue scene, one of the sort
that arouses the gallery's enthusiasm The
scene de resistance is disclosed at the
windup of Act 2. 1t is called the mirror

Rev. Nears second Sensation.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Nov. Rev. T. G. Neal,
of Marion, Methodist minister we'll known
throughout the North Indiana Conference,
who, a year ago, caused a sensation in the
Wabash Church by drawing a cheese knife
across his throat, in the pulpit by way Of
illustrating point in his sermon, yesterday
again occupied the pulpit here and again
amused his audience by an unlooked-for
demonstration. Rev. Neal stopped suddenly
in the midst of his argument, drew two
matches from his pocket, held them aloft,
commenting on their shape and similarity,
and then, suddenly igniting them, re-
marked, in tone Of affected surprise:
why, there is fire on the end of them.
Now l wonder If the cranky reporter who,
when was here year ago, said that | put
a cheeseknife at my throat, is present to-
day and will go out and tell the world that
l lighted matches in the pulpit and tried TO
set the building afire?' The entire congrega-
ton burst into a roar of laughter The min
lister then took up his sermon as abruptly
as he had left off, but the congregation
was so broken up that the address had no
further interest for the audience.

SUPREME COURT MEETS
IN A COMMITTEE ROOM OF THE
UNITED STATES SENATE,
And Denies a Motion I'm the Fayer-
weather VIII Case-LOss by the
Capitol Fire Not Great.

WASHINGTON Nov. THE Supreme
Court of the United States sat to-day in the
room of the Senate committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. The committee room is
quite commodious office room, we'll fur
nished with tables, chairs, desks and other
office furniture. so that little difficulty was
encountered in Transforming it into suit
able place for the court. The long center
table used by the committee when in session
was pushed to the rear of the room, leaving
only space behind it for the accommodation
Of the justices. The clerk and the marshal
occupied improvised desks at either end of
the table, and chairs for the attorneys were
placed in front of the court. There was no
bar, and the court was on a physical level
with attendants and attorneys. The dais
which the court usually occupies was, of
course, missing. The ceiling of the commit
tee room is rather highly coored for a
courtroom, and the quarters were so con-
tracted that it was necessary to exclude
visitors. These and other circumstances
rendered the scene somewhat incongruous,
but the court proceeded regularly with it's
work, manifesting no perturbation over the
change No one would have inferred from
the faces of the justices or their manner of
proceeding with business that the court was
sitting outside its own chamber for the first
time since 1914, but such was the case. JUS
tees Gray and McKenna, who usually &C.
cupy seats to the left of the chief justice,
were absent thus giving the court a some
what one-sded appearance.
No written opinions were rendered, but
this was not due to the fire. There would
not have been any had the explosion not
occurred. The only matter of any impor-
lance finally passed upon was a petition for
a mandamus upon the Circuit Court for the
Southern district of New York, filed by En-
ma S. Fayerweather The case involves a
part of the estate of the late Daniel Fayer-
weather, who left his property to a number
of educational institutions. The motion was
denied. After this the court proceeded with
the hearing Of arguments in cases before it.

recalled as well-known old crack which

next to the congressional library, is the
most valuable collection of books in Wash
1thhgtoh, escaped with little damage, all
though it was in the very center of disturb
ance, the wrecked elevator shaft and up
heaved stone floors being at the library en-
trance 1t is estimated That the loss in the
library will be covered by 81, 500 The books
escaped intact, the loss being confined to
slnged woodwork The floor of the electrical
was as completely demolished as if it had
peen directly over the center of an earth
quake. Fortunately no one was in the room
Wnen the explosion occurred.
Mr.. Woods at the close of the day ex-
pressed the opinion that the damage to the
Capitol building could be repaired for $780,
wv 1t is by no means SO serious as / first
thought it was" said Mr.. Woods. II find
that the foundations of the building were
not damaged in the least, but that the only
injury done to the structure by the explosion
was done to the arched floors. These were
struck from beneath and affording the least
resistance gave way so readily that the
foundation walls We're not injured in any
respect"
MIR. Woods believes the explosion was
been able on account of the debris to make
a sufficiently critical examination to place
the exact spot at which the ignition oc-
Cured. Other architects who have inspected
the scene of the catastrophe also attribute
it to an explosion of gas, but, like Mr.
Woods, decline to go into detail in their
theories. Some express the opinion that
broken main and a burning jet are reSpon-
sible for the occurrenc.
The work of removing the rubbish caused
by the explosion has been proceeding rapid
~ all day, seventy-fiVe one hundred men
being employed for this purpose. AS soon as
the refuse is sufficiently cleared out the
work of repairing the damage will begin.
Mr.. Woods thinks that the Supreme Court
room will be ready for occupancy within
two weeks. Here as elsewhere the damage
was less than was thought and the opinion
is expressed that nothing more than repaint-
ing the walls putting in new doors, new
skylights and new upholstery will be neces-
sary to render the chamber fit for service.
Fire did very little damage to this room,
but the conclusion did some and the smoke
and water more The ceiling Of this part of
the building and some of the partitions are
of wood, and there is no doubt that very
serious damage would have resulted if the
fire had once got Roadway here. AS it ed
joins the dome there has been some specUia-
ton as to what effect it would have had on
that structure. None OF the very valuable
books in the law libarary was injured.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-"Lohengrin," chosen
for the inaugural performance of the Amer
lean season of the Maurice Grau Grand
Opera Company, attracted one of the larg-
est and most fashionable audiences that
ever assembled in the Auditorium at an
opening night. 1t was a performance of
great distinction, especially as it served to
introduce the great German contralto, Frau
Schumann- Heinl1 to an American audience
Frau Heink's representation of Ortrud fully
justified the laudatory announcements that
preceded her debut. She is an artistic OF
commanding and impressive personality,
intensely dramatic in action, graceful in re-
pose and superbly endowed in vocal tall
ents. Her voice is full, mellow and power
full and of superb quality and expressive
ness. In the second act, the great duo with
Elsa, she carried the house by storm ana
received the unusual compliment of re-
call, en- scene. Nine. Emma Eames has
grown in vocal strength and personal beau
ty since her last appearance in the city.
Her rendition was practically faWless. Ed
ward De ReSZke was unable to appear on
account of a cold contracted late last week
and his place in the part of King Henry
was satisfactorily filled by Mr.. Lempriere
Pringle, an Australian singer, who also
made his first American appearance. Herr
Andreas Dippel the Lohengrin, another
debutante, gave a surprising good perform
ance of the Knight. His costume was con-
ventional and his business strictly in accord
with Wagnerian ethics. Vocally, he did not
suffer by comparison with many famous
predecessors in the part. Telramund was
sung by Mr.. David Bispham in his usual
careful and intelligent style. The season S
opening was suspicious in every way.

The best balanced vaudeville bill pre-
scented on the Empire stage this season was
rendered yesterday afternoon and evening
by Clark Brothers Royal Burlesquers,' to
the delight of big audiences. Edgar Bixley
and Emma Weston opened the olio with
sketch that gave opportunity for Bixleys
comic tramp impersonation and some clever
singing by Miss Weston, and ended with
cake walk that was a work of art. The
Four Migrants extracted musical music
from stone cutters hammers, PAYERS ram
mers and street sweepers brooms Dot
Davenport was unable to appear at the
afternoon performance, owing to illness and
her place was filled by Miss Annie Morris,
of the chorus, who sang coon song with
Hebrew gesticulationS that brought down
the house. Miss Davenport was sufficiently
recovered by evening to make her appear
ance and engage in a kissing match with
Louis Ostendorf that filled the gallery with
unholy glee. The most finished work of the
performance was done by the Cosmopolitan
Trio, Yule, Galpen and Reno, who possess
among them a tenor a baritone and con-
traIto voice respectively, of remarkable
purity and with enough strength to fill the
house when the three sang in concert. A
duced by Galpen and Yule Tenney and
Simonds's sidewalk work was full or new
comedy and good Irish singing. Howard
and Emerson, who have been here before,
closed the variety part with illustrated
songs and also introduced stereopticon por-
traits of various heroes. including our
noticeable that Teddy Roosevelts picture,
in quantity of applause, ran second only to
Dewey and a close second at that. An
Alderman's Election" was the name or the
afterpiece 1t was announced that election
returns would be read on receipt, without
regard to time between the vaudeville turns
and would be continued until a. m To-
night The Rose Hill French Folly Com
pany will follow, Thursday matinee.
