Fireman Frank E. Mankin, who was in
jured at the fire of the Cones overall fac
tory on the night of March IA. died early
yesterday morning as result Of his injur-
les and the amputation of his injured leg,

burns not healing. to be the only chance
of saving his life.
Mankin became a member of the fire
force Dec. 15 $780, being assigned to hose
house No. Is and later to hose company
No. 1. On the night of the fire he was
with his company, all of whom were buried
under the rear end of the south factory
wall when it fell. The flames were almost
upon them and the men were only saved
from death at that time by the cutting
of line of hose by John Berry. allowing
a full stream of water to run over them
Mankin was found to be most seriously In
jured, his right knee being badly burned by
a bar of red hot iron, which fell across it.
He was sent TO the City Hospital. The
other members were uninjured and re-
sumed work.
Mankin lived at the Kiley House on
Massachusetts avenue, where he was en-
ployed for six years before accepting a
place on the fire force. His father lives
in Illinois, and is here to arrange for the
funeral. Hose company No l, of which
he was a member, will furnish a detail to
act as pallbearers.

morning while getting ready to do the fam
lily washing. She arose at ? a. m, think
ing 1T was o'clock, and went into the
kitchen. where she turned on the gas in
the stove. She was dressed only in her
nightgown and intended putting on water
to heat and then expected to dress. The
strong gas pressure caused the flame to
flash from the stove. Her night dress
was instantly ignited. She was unable to
extinguish the blaze. and in a few seconds
was terribly burned from head to foot
Her screams brought her daughter to her
side, but she was unable to render any
assistance before the flames had done their
work. DIR. Wands was called and remained

He Assisted i'm the Celebration of
Patriots Day.

Patriots day was celebrated yesterday
at Butler College. the especial occasion be-
ing the presence of Edward Everett Hale.
At 1870 the chapel was thronged with
students and friends of the college from
the town and indianapolis. After hearty
rendition of the national hymn by the au-
dience President Butler spoke of the sig
nificance of the day and the especially
happy association of events which brought
DR.. Hale to the college on Patriots day.
He then read Gilbert Parkers stirring ac-
count of Paul Revere's ride and finished by
introducing "the bulwark of New England
Edward Everett Hale" Mr.. Hale spoke
at some length on the historic association
OF his home and recited his poetical ac-
count of the battle of Lexington. He was
twice recalled to the platform by the
hearty applause, the last time giving his
three rules OF living, which he had the
students repeat with him. They are life

ANOTHER LARGE AUDIENCE.
Increasing Interest I'm the Murphy
Meetings.

Another large audience gathered last
night TO hear Francis Murphy at the gos-
pei temperance meeting in the Meridian
street Church. Each evening many of Mr.
Murphy's admirers volunteer to speak and
endeavor to help some of their friends
whom they know are in need of the prayers
and assistance Of Francis Murphy. Al
the meeting last night William c. Clark,
Secretary of the Marion County Prohibit
ton League, was urged to speak. Mr..
Clark is quite young man and in so much
contrast to the white-haired evangelist
who was calling on him for an address
that Mr.. Murphy could not restrain himself
from making jocular remarks about the
youthfulness of the speaker. Mr.. Clark
said he was at a loss to find words to
touch the ears of his hearers, for he mad
not gone through the fire of battle as
to take a drink of intoxicants, for his
family abstaned from it, and he could
only find words to thank Francis Murphy
tor the work he was doing TO save other
men from the drink habit. Rev. William
A. Quayle, pastor of the Meridian-street
Church, was called upon by Mr.. Murphy
TO speak. as he had not yet spoken during
the meetings, being away each evening on
business. Mr.. Ouayle in his talk urged
the women to sign the total abstinence
pledge as he thought it was the drinking
INDUCED by young women that threatened
the ruinatlon of all young men and the
country. DR.. Held, superintendent of the
Anti-saloon League. was the next speaker,
and he was followed by Mr.. Taggart. pres
ident of the Murphy Gospel Temperance
League in this city.
Tomorrow afternoon a children's gos-
pei temperance meeting will be held. An
elaborate musical programme has been ar
ranged for the meeting. Mrs. Murphy
wife of the evangelist, will be i'm charge
of the work. No child will be asked &c
sign a pledge in the meeting. but will be
given one to take home and there sign ii
with the parents consent. The MONDAY
meeting held yesterday was largely at
tended, and one woman in the audience
suggested that 1T would be a good plan
TO have the meetings continue every day
rhe Murphy Gospel Temperance League is
impressed with the idea and it may be
carried out.
