in Handling Blasting
Powder Results Fatally in
Kentucky Farmhouse.

Louisa, KY, Dec. 1S.-A sad accident
occurred near Alliance post Office, Floyd
county, resulting in the death of
Nelson Hamilton and three of his chill
dren. Hamilton, who was preparing to
do some blasting, was pouring out some
powder from keg when his four-year-
old son picked up small amount and
tossed into the fire. The explosion threw
some embers into the pile of powder
and a terrific explosion followed. The
father and little son and two older chill
dren, who were in the room, were
shocked into insensibility. The ceiling
was lifted from it's place, the walls
spread aid the upper part of the house
came down and stopped about half
way of the walls, thus fastening all
the doors securely. When the oldest
daughter regained consciousness sutfi-
GENTLY to realize that the house was IN
flames she tried to open door, but at
once saw the hopelessness of such an
effort and began to scream for help.
A neighbor arrived in time to burst in a
door and get the tortured persons out,
but they were so badly burned that all
died within few hours.

scale on the Big -Four means the disrup-

raphers were totally ignored in the
new adjustment, and not only get no
advance, but were not even accorded
recognition in the new adjustment.
All the other members of the federation
received an advance of five per cent,
they say.

LEGISLATORS Fail to See the Necessity

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 18.-Ihe Few
members of the legislature who had ar
rived for the special session, which
opens to-day, Go not indorse Gov Pm
gree's action in calling them together
to pass upon a constitutional amend
ment permitting equal tax legislation
They say they are uniformed OF any
crying demand for hasty action, and De
lieve that the voters want time to THINK
it over. 1t is not improbable thatan adj
iournment will be taken Tuesday until
after New Years. This would still give
five days to consider the proposed JOINT
resolution and allow the legislators d
week TO talk the matter over with their
constituents within the 20 days limit
allowed for a special session.

She Fought in the Tr inches.

Mrs. Mary La Tourette Stotsenburg,
widow Of Colonel John Stotsenburg, of
New Albany, Ind, bears the distinc-
ton of having been often under fire on
the firing line around Manila. When
Colonel Stotsenburg went to the Phil
ipplnes his wife accompanied him, and,
arriving there, insisted on being per-
mitted to accompany her husband in
the subsequent campaigns. She went
as nurse, with the consent of General
Otis, but on many occasions she had to
spend hours in the trenches with the
troops.
Letters from Manila to relatives,
written months ago, tell of instances in
which the plucky woman was caught
during different engagements and was
forced, with her escort, to drop In the
trenches, where she lay, with the bull
lets whlstllng over her head. On diff
ferent occasions she could not restrain
her enthusiasm, and, although she does
not make reference to 1t, reliable re-
ports tell of her selzing rifle from a
dying soldier and doing very effective
work.-Clncinnati Commercial Gazette.

Isabel Quimby was the daughter of
parents that had once been wealthy,
but her father, like so many men, in
endeavoring to gain by speculation,
lost everything-their beautiful home
and their place in society among the
rest. Her father, to whom the humilia.
ton was far worse than the mere pov.
erty, did not survive the fearful strain
laid upon him, and in less than two
months died, leaving Isabel and her
mother nearly penniless.
Then the young girl, putting pride
and all its accompanying sensitiveness
in her pocket, entered the st. Albans
Hospital, an institution in her native
city, as nurse. The tail, beautiful girl
In her dark Dress with white apron
and cap, and her rich, heavy hair coled
about her shapely head, and her beauti.
full face so earnest and tender, was al.
most tonic to those she was called to
nurse.
Before her fathers failure she was
engaged to Hale Atwood, young,
rising doctor, very successful and pop-
ular, and connected with the st. AL
bans Hospital. But 1t had been q hard
struggle with him, for he was poor
that is, in comparison with her fathers
wealth. After the crash was over and
she found that he intended her to keep
her promise to him, she told him one
night, as they stood in the parlor Of
the poor little suite of rooms she and
her mother had hired, that she could
not marry him, for, in so doing, she
