FROM FAR EAST.
Boston Store Has Fine Display of Per-
sian and Indian Rugs.

The Boston Store has secured,
through its representative in the orient
a superb assortment of Persian and
Indian rugs and carpets, which are on
exhibition this week only in their carpat
hall. This collection includes Daghes-
tans, Moussoul Prayer rugs, Shirvans
Persian carpets, Trans, and an unusual
ly fine exhibit Of ancient Blue Bokheras,
a species of rug which is exceedingly
rare and eagerly sought after.
An understanding of oriental rugs,
which was at one time confined to the
very few, has now grown almost uni
versal among the Weather and more
refined portion of the community.
Several Worcester ladies possess as
clear and accurate judgment of the
value of piece of eastern art work as
the most experienced merchant. and
specimens of the handiwork Of the
Weavers of Teheran and Moussoul grace
hundreds of homes in this city. These
rugs are decidedly desirable on the
score of economy, as they are practlc-
ally immortal in their durability, ane
improve in appearance instead Of deter
iorate from hard wear.
The Denholm & Mckay company OBJ
tains a supply of these wonders of art
twice every year, in May and October,
and offers them for a short period at
scarcely half regular prices. A general
invitation is extended to all interested
to inspect the exhibition.

MAY BE MORE CHANGES.
Policemen Not Sure Where They're al
Even Now.

Members of the police department
are still all fit to belong to a worrying
club and more than one man seems to
have much on his mind that he would
like to get rid of. Reasons given for
changes do not suit the officers, and
they think that when the finish comes
it will be a hot one.
Chief of Police brennan seems to
think that he has made some important
moves, and is thoroughly satisfied that
Station 2 is now on the map where it
has not been for some time. In con-
versation with Spy man, yesterday
afternoon. the chief said things about
the cleanliness of the station. Capt.
Matthews got in a new desk yesterday,
and in addition thought over some
changes that would benefit the station.
AS soon as superintendent of Public
Buildings Peck gets around, the chief
will have the tramp room torn out and
other changes made in the interior Of
| the building. The patrolmen will re-
main the same at both stations for the
present, until other matters get settled,
and then the chief thinks he will make
some changes.

John Donnelly Fear
fully Injured by
Ammonia Gas.
PUMP EXPLODED.
Third Bad Accident in Ice
Plant of Worcester
Brewery.

John F. Donelly is at the City Hospi-
tai suffering from fatal burns about
the abdomen and is in critical condi-
ton from the effects of inhaling am
monia fumes released by the blowing
out of a cylinder head of one of the ice
machines at the Worcester brewery.
Details of the accident are lacking.
Donelly was alone in the engine room
that operates the Featherstone ice ma
chimes when a terrific explosion that
could be heard as far away as Shrews-
bury street, shook the building. In a
twinkling the entire plant was filled
With the sitting fumes of ammonia
vapor George Bieberbach was the
first of the employees of the plant to
reach the engine room and he found
DoneHy lying senseless in the middle
of heap of debris. Almost stifled with
the choking gases, he forced his way
into the engine room and dragged
Donnelly into the air. The rescue was
accomplished before a crowd of en-
plOyeeS who had reached the scene
but dared not enter to lend assistance
The ambulance was summoned and
OOiISily W dS IGlllONeu " the lily GOS-
pital in a senseless condition. Under
the treatment of the physicians he rail-
lied. The small bones of his right
hand were broken, probably by a frag-
ment of flying steel. His abdomen is
burned as with acid by the escaping
gas. His most serious injury results
from the effects of inhaling the deadly
ammonia. His throat and lungs are
burned almost beyond recovery.
An alarm of fire summoned the de-
partment, but the firemen We're power
less to shut off the escaping gas until
William A. Beldin, night engineer, was
summoned. A stream of water was US
ed to drive out the ammonia fumes, and
by a quick dash, the governing cock
was turned, shutting off the deadly
gas. The cylinder head of two inch
steel was thrown against the wall
where the battered masonry showed
the effects of the explosion. The ma
chine, a pump for circulating the am
monia through a SYSTEM of pipes, was
completely demolished.
This is the third accident of a serious
nature that has occurred with the ice
apparatus at the brewery
