A WOMAN'S AWFUL FATE.
Fire and Explosion at The Residence Of
Capt. Dickens, in Washington.
HIS WIFE SHOCKED TO DEATH
She and Others Fearfully
Burned.
GASOLINE IGNITED BY A MELTING POT

Washington, July Fire and ex-
plosion in the residence of Capt.
Dickens of the United States navy, at
10. As O'Clock, this morning, resulted in
the shocking to death of Mrs. Dickens,
who was fearfully burned. III
Other persons about the house were
severely wounded. The Dickens resi-
dence is handsome three-story brick
building on Nineteenth street, directly
back of the British embassy and within
a few steps of du Point circle. In the
front room, the fremen found the
blackened corpse of Mrs. Dickens.
L. Joseph Vaughn, plumber, and
his assistant were putting gutter on
the rear of the third-story roof. Hay-
ing completed the job, they descended
by means of ladder to the third story.
One of the men carried in his hand a
lighted melting pot. As he descended,
Vaughn detected the strong fumes of
gasoline, and through the open door of
the front room caught a glimpse Of
woman sprinkling some liquid on the
floor. with the evident purpose of pre-
pairing to cleanse it. He gave warning
to his partner that gasoline was being
used, and that there was danger from
the firepot, but at this instant the
explosion occurred. The two men were
severely burned about the hands and
face.
The most sorrowful scene occurred in
connection with the recovery and iden-
LITIGATION of Mrs. Dickens body. Word
was sent to the Navy Department,
where Capt Dickens is next to Admiral
Crowninshield, at the head of the
Bureau of Navigation, and no was
brought hurriedly to the Dickens resi-
dence in a carriage. He almost tainted
as he was helped from the carriage up
the stone entrance steps. Going inside,
he identified the body as that of his
wife. The body of Mrs. Dickens was
borne to the next house.
Mrs. Dickens was an authoress of
some note, one of her best-known
books being "Around the World in a
Man-o'- War; She was also a FREE
quent contributor to magazines.

The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes
cannot help feeling great qualification
at the thought that his children have
inherited from him no weakness nor
tendency to disease. The healthy old
man is the man who has throughout
his life kept his digestion good and
his blood pure. Not one in thousand
does do it. Germs go through the
healthy body without effect. Let them
once find Judgment or let them find a
weak spot, they will develop by the
million and the blood will be full of
them. Instead of giving strength to
the tissues, it will force upon them
innutritious matter, and the man will
lose flesh and the more susceptible he
is to disease. DIR. Pieroe's Golden
Medical Discovery is the only medicine
that absolutely and infallibly cures all
blood diseases, and almost all diseases
are BLOOD diseases. 1t isn't medi.
cine for some one particular so-oalled
disease. 1t is medicine for the whole
body. 1t forces out all the germs of
disease. and replaces impurities with
rich, red blood.
