Deaths from Kerosene Explostona.

Detroit, Aug. 9.-Three persons in
the Polish district were fatally burned
through explosions caused by the use
of kerosene in lighting kitchen fires.
Within a week there have been four
other similar cases in the same neigh
borhood, resulting in four deaths. 1t
is believed by those who are investi-
eating that responsibility for these sx-
plostons lies partly in the alleged fact
that kerosene oil which is below the
legel test of 12O degrees, and therefore
more liable to ignition and explosion,
is being brought into the state.

TT MAY BE DEMPSEY
BODY FOUND IN CHICAGO MAY BE
REMAINS OF FORMER KENOSHAITE
MRS. DEMPSEY is CERTAIN.
Says That Description Given Assures Her
That the Remains Are Those of Her Son
Had Left Texas Three Months Ago
to Paw Visit to his old Rome

On July Is in an empty mail car
standing on the tracks of the Chicago
and Alton railroad, in Chicago, were
found the remains of an unidentified
man. There were no papers or any
other marks on the person by which
the romans might be identified, and
after the usual search the police of the
city forgot the unknown man and the
remains were laid to rest in the potter's
field. Yesterday the officials in Chi
cago received letter from Mrs Ann
Demsey, of this city, in which the lady
stated that she was convinced that the
body found was the remains other son,
John Dempsey. Mrs. Demsey was
seen at her home on Bond street last
evening and when questioned in regard
to the story of the finding of the body
she stated that she had carefully read
the description of the body as they APP
peared in the papers and she was con-
vinced that the remains were those of
her son. Dempsey.was a resident of this
city about ten years ago, but the little
village was too small for him and he
enlisted in the army as a regular.
Soon after he left home his parents
lost all trace of him, and for many
years no word was received from the
missing boy. After he had served six
years in the army he left the service of
his country and was married and set
tied down at Camonia, Texas. Here
he was prosperous, and with his wife
and two children lived a happy life.
The old relations with his home were
renewed, and he had often promised to
visit his home and his mother again.
In the early part of April of this year
food swept over Texas, and when
the waters had receded the home of
Dempsey had been washed, away and
he and his wife and children were left
in destitute condition. He wrote to
his mother of his loss and she invited
him to come back to the old home.
He left his wife and children at the
home of her parents, and on the 23rd of
May he started to make his way to
AOuOcud' Ills was Gu6 IdSb 6V6I
heard of him. Frequent letters have
passed between the wife and the mother
of the missing man, but none of them
have contained any news of the wan
derer. When last heard of, the wife
says, her husband was in a little town
in Kansas working his way toward
this city. Since the letter announcing
the home coming no word from Demp-
sey has been received in this city, and
now the old mother feels assured that
he has fallen by the way side and
crawled into the car to die.
The supposition of the police was
that the man found had committed
suicide, but this theory was never sub
stantiated. Mrs. Dempsey will go to
Chicago and try to find some way by
which she may be made certain of the
fate of her son. Dempsey was % years
of age, and was said to be man of
excellent habits.

PROTECTS HOME INDUSTRIES.
Mayor German Takes Action In Regard to
out of Town Industries

Mayor German has again placed
himself on record as the defender of
Kenosha citizens and Kenosha indus
ties. For some time in the past a
feather renovating company located at
Waukegan has been doing a thriving
business in this city. A short time ago
two young men came here and opened
Q business house in opposition TO the
Waukegan house and in due time a
complaint was made to the Mayor that
the Waukegan company was taking the
trade which should belong to the
Kenosha industry. The Mayor gave
the matter his attention and this
morning he ordered the Chief of Police
to see that the out of town company
did not do business in this city until
they had been properly licensed. 1t is
thought that the Waukegan company
will refuse to pay the license and the
field will be left clear for the Kenosha
industry. People who spend their
money in KenOsha should have their
industries protected by the police of
the city against the encroachment of
foreigners and the action of the Mayor
is a move in the right direction. Let
the good work go on.

.AGU1NA1Do's LATEST APPEAL.

he Wants Recognition of Filipino Inde-
pendence by the Powers.
Washington, Aug. 9.-The state de-
partment is entirely without informa-
ton as to any address by. Aguinaldo to
foreign powers for the recognition of
the FiIipinos, either as belligerents or
as constituting an independent gov
eminent. This is apropos of a dispatch
from Manila stating that the Filipino
leader has appealed to the powers for
recognition of Filipino independence,
in which Aguinaldo declares that the
Filipino cause was so nearly successful
when the Americans went 60 Manila
that the Spaniards had little authority
anywhere in the islands than Manila,
and therefore had nothing to dispose
of to the United States.
He also claims that the F1lipinos
conquered the country unassisted, ex-
cept for sixty guns that Admiral Dew
ey gave Aguinaldo, and that Admiral
Dewey and the British and Belgian
consuIs recognized the Filipino sover-
eighty by asking for passes to visit the
country. He repeated the claim that
he has letters from American consuls
sovereignty, and promising that the
Americans would recognize their indie
-pendence, which are at the disposition
of the powers"
The appeal is looked upon as Great
ing no particular change as it has
been the desire of Aguinaldo and his
associates from the first to secure such
recognition. The appeal puts this de-
sire into rather formal shape, and it
may bring to an issue the attitude of
outside governments. There is no ap-
prehension, however, that any foreign
government will heed the address. Up
to the present time there has been no
intimation to the state department that
any foreign power entertained even the
remotest idea of giving recognition to
Aguinaldo and his associates,
The state department does not share
the apprehension which is said to have
arisen among army officers that China
has given indirect recognition to the
Filipinos. This apprehension grew out
of a report from General Otis that
horses could not be secured for cavalry
use from China because they were
"contraband of war" At the state de-
partment it is said that the matter has
not assumed a form involving the
recognition of a state of war, but that
Minister Conger reports that China's
course is due entirely to certain do
nestle regulations prohibiting the ex-
.DOrtatiOn of horses or ponies.

Detroit, Aug. 9,-Senator Burrows

claims that his position therein set
forth has been persisteutly and DELHI

would be to the disadvantage of the

JACOBY RESIGNS.
Military Band Has Another UpheavaI
Among It's Members.

The Jacoby and Compton Military
band, which was organized in this city
few weeks ago, has experienced
another upheaval, and at the meeting
Tuesday night Director F. R. Jacoby
resigned his position as leader of the
organization, as well as his member
ship in the band. Mr.. Jacoby stated
today that he had not resigned the
leadership of the band on account of
pressure brought against him, but
wholly on account of the fact that
other business required all his time.
The band has as yet taken no action
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Jacoby, but it is under
stood that Prof. Compton will assume
the leadership of the organization.
The band will give the usual weekly

HARRY WINTERS.
He Has Secured a Temporary Lease
of Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-Harry
Winters, sentenced to be hanged on
next Friday at the State Prison in Fol-
som for the murder of G. A. Andrews in
South San Francisco on November
II, 1897, has secured a temporary lease
of life by the death of Warden Aull of
the penitentiary.
The Prison Directors have not yet
chosen successor to the late Warden
Aull, but have appointed r. ]. Murphy
Deputy Warden. Being in doubt as to
whether he was authorized to execute
Winters, Mr.. Murphy appealed to At
torney General Ford for an opinion.
That official decides that Murphy is
not empowered to carry out the SEN
tence of the court.
The Attorney General suggests two
courses that the Deputy Warden may
pursue. One is that the prisoner may
be removed to the court and resen-
fenced, the execution to beSheld in San
Quentin Prison by the Warden of that
institution. The other is that the Gov
ernor may be induced to reprieve the
prisoner until some certain date, and
in the meantime the Prison Directors
could appoint regular Warden, who
would have authority to execute the
condemned man.
