Of the seven senhies, four were killed

Although IL was clear night, the ex.

1t is now believed that the explosion
originated in the chemical decomposi.

CLEVELAND. March GA case Of SMALL
pox was discovered in big downtown
apartment house, in which nearly 400
people are living. The victim is an at
torney and he was the roommate of
Frederick L. Taft, assistant county solic-
itor, The sick man was sent to the
smallpox hospital, while Mr.. Taft was
committed to the detention house and
all the inmates of the building were
quarantined in the apartment house.
The situation was ludicrous in some
respects. Those who were in could not
get out and all who were out when the
case was discovered were refused admis
sion to their rooms unless they were
willing to submit to the quarantine regu
lations. Most of the people took it good
naturedly. They communicated with
their friends by telephone, and some Of
them let down baskets by ropes from
the upper stories and hauled up various
supplies of which they were in need.

Kaisesr's New Stables.

The removal and enlargement of the
Emperors Berlin stables, which are op-
posite the old palace at the corner of
Breite Strasse and the Schlossplatz, will
cost from 100000 to 100000 marks.
According to the plan of the archi-
tect Geheimrath lime, the front facing
the Spree will be 200 yards in length.
The Emperor requires among other
things two riding grounds, several
coach houses for about 300 carriages
and stalls for 27O horses. Several work
yards and farm yards are also needed,
as we'll as dwellings for fifty families
and eighty unmarried servants and
coachmen. The chief facade, opposite
the schloss required reconstruction on
a large scale, and this was rendered
very difficult by the different character
of the rooms looking on to the Schloss-
platz, some Of which are quite insig-
nificant. The architect has, however.
been fortunate in his design, having ar
ranged the chief room of the upper
floor (the large carriage room with its
costly historical and modern sleighs
and coaches) as a stateroom, and there
by giving 1t the appearance from the
outside of a museum
enters the front court, which is COW
cred in by glass roof, which in sum-
mer is removed to prevent excessive
heat. Southwark extends a broad wing,
with coach houses and dwellings in the
upper portion Eastward one sees the
stables, built in two stories, one over
the other, each calculated to hold 134
horses Lifts, saddle rooms, flights of
stairs, cleaning rooms and servants
rooms are provided there, or are found
in the intermediate story. The great
carriage hall in the Schlossplatz is an
enormous room, stretching over two
stories, and provided above with long
gallery. The walls are connected by
double rows Of columns and are deco
rated with tendril and shell work. The
ceiling is more richly treated, and it's
strong, plastic decoration is in har-
mony with the great hight. Behind the
above mentioned cross building all the
work is in progress, as was ascertained
by a visit paid by the Architect Club,
which afforded an idea of the extent of
the grounds.
On the Spree about half of the facade
fronting the water is finished, but the
wings stretch still further southward,
so that they will eventually pass far
beyond the front of the schloss. In the
second court will be two riding grounds
of exactly the same size, situated over
an enormous carriage house, separated
by double walls. The works upon the
new building, for which pieces of
ground were lately acquired south of
the older grounds, will require about
three years to complete. = London

properties of the paints, but to the
different physical qualities, especially
to the fact that the liquids containing
bacteria dry more slowly or quickly
