Every One in the building Undoubtedly
Caught in the Disaster.
1t was learned that the force OF TWEEN
ty men expected to load so, 900 bushels
of grain during the night. Not one of
the entire number could be seen in any
part of the building. and it was impos-
sibie to reach them in any way. Will
lam Parks was found first. He was
twenty feet from the building frightful-
ly burned. and his clothing almost en-
tirely torn off. He had been literally
hurled from his place in the main room
through a window. and his agonizing
cries were most pitiful. Another em-
ploye. John Carr, was hurled from the
fifth floor of the building and was
found bleeding and burned, with many
bones broken. He did not long survive.
Fireman David Kemp and Charles
Keifer tthe engineer) were found at
their places in the engine rooms. They
were wounded by falling timbers and
their faces were Charred to a crisp by
the flames.
The little daughter of William Parks
was sitting a the desk in the office at
the time of the explosion. and she was
hurled out of the door. She walked
down the elevation on which the build
ing stands and dropped down to be
carried away unconscious. suffering from
wounds from which she cannot recOv-
er. John Smith was fatally burned.
He was literally disemboweled, and
was taken to the hospital to die The
missing men are doubtless all dead. No
trace can be found of any of them.
and as they were employed at the top
OF the elevator their chances for escape
were but slight
The heat became so intense that TWEEN
ty cars standing on sidings near the
building were added to the loss. The
fire department had a hard struggle to
save other elevators and property. The
bridge across the Maumee river was
on FIRE several times. but outside the
loss of the elevators the damage is
slight. Mr.. Paddock. a member of the
firm owning the plant. said that there
was between 500. 900 and 600. 900 bushels
OF grain in storage at the time. the
most of it being winter wheat.
late revision of the fire loss shows
that the burned building and contents
are valued at $55O.OO0 The damage to
adjoining property is IS. 600 The insur-
ance is S135cO0 on the building and the
grain is covered with S25S. 600 insurance.

Or No Change. Say the Canucks-Protec-
ton Advised for Canada.
These lumbermen contend that the
Canadian government knew when it
sold 2the timber to the Americans that
it was to be sawed in American
mills. and having this knowledge the
government has no right on which to
pass a law of this character. But the
Canadians consider this point puerile,
and say il must be free logs and free
lumber or no change at all. Clark Wal

ing association. also arrived here yes

To Tell of His Travels in Africa at the Mo-
line Methodist Church.

line Methodist Church.
The citizens of Moline, at the Con-
gregational church there this evening,
will have an opportunity to hear of
The Continent of Africa-Its Present
and Future Prospects, Religious and
Political" from Bishop Joseph c.
Hartzell, missionary bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church, the sue
cessor to Bishop William Taylor, the
world renowned African missionary
and explorer. The meeting at Moline
will be more interesting as it is in the
nature of a welcome to Bishsp HartZ-
ell. who was born in Moline township
and by the NJ. +. church in Moline
was licensed to preach, and was after
wards ordained for the christian min
istry The subject of Africa at this
time is one of the most interesting
themes now engaging the attention of
the civilized world. The rapid strides
made on that continent in population
and political Importance during the
latter half of the nineteenth century,
and the struggle now going on be-
tween the nations for commanding
political influence in Africa is engag
ing the attention of the whole world.
1t is the arena in which England, Ger
many, Portugal and France are con-
tending, the chances, however, being
largely in favor of Anglo-SaXon civili-
zation. To hear of this country from
one who has so recently visited it is
an opportunity seldom enjoyed. Bish-
op. Hartzell has visited both the west
and east coasts of Africa. has entered
the interior at various points and
twice crossed the continent through
South and East Africa. His wife,
who is now at Moline, accompanied
him during a part of his journeys.
The bishop left the United States in
December, 1896, and returned last
March. He expects to leave for Afri-
ca in November next. after the annu- |
nj meeting of the Church Bishops. |
His Journeys have covered over forty
thousand miles. Seven thousand
miles were Travelled in Africa. The |
mention of these facts suggests what |
n valuable opportunity our people /
now have to hear this able, cultured |
and prominent divine, who is now
visiting his aged parents and relatives
in Moline. We hope many will avail
themselves of this opportunity.
The people Of the Methodist church /
are to be congratulated upon the val
liable ministerial timber that Rock
Island county has furnished the
church. Besides Bishop Hartzell |
there is Rev. William a. Spencer, for
merly of this city, for years prOmi-
nent in the church as general secre
tary of the church extension society, |
and who, unless all signs fail, may
some day be elevated by his brethren
in the ministry to the Office of bishop.
