Akron admirers of Gus Rubin, and
they are legion, may soon have an op,
portunity of seeing him in action with
a heavyweight of no to.
Very few local sports have seen
Rubin do nay work with the gloves
since he became top-notcher. 1t is
very probable that they will soon be
able to witness a contest in which he
is one Of the principals without hay-
ing to go q great distance to do so.
Potter Maher has practically cancel
led his engagement at Youngstown.
| The Athletic club at that place is
making an effort TO get Rubin TO take
his place in contest with Stockings
Conroy. A special from Youngstown
says:
| Ptcr Maher, who has made deposit
to meet Stockings Conroy in twenty
round contest before the Youngstown
Athletic club, has been asking an ex-
tension of week OH account of in
jury to his hands. The club declined
to grant Maher's request, and wired
him that unless he appear ready for
the contest his money will be for
feited. If Mayer fails to appear Gus
Rubin or Reed, of Beaver Falls, will
take the place of NIaher. Conroy, ac-
companied by his manager, Jimmie
Dino, is here ready to meet Mailer
or any one the club selects.

There is decided change of feeling
with respect to the all-important mu-
nicipal code bill and it is now announc-
ed by those who ought surely to know
that the bill will be passed by the SEN
ate exactly as it was first framed.
The committee appointed by the state
board of commerce for the purpose Of
so amending the bill as to give it a
chance Of success has concluded, upon
assurances from Senator Harding,
who introduced the bill in the Senate,
that he believes it will be passed there.
to recommend no changes whatsoever,
al present. Senator Harding fears VIC.
lent opposition in the House, and,
when the time comes to lay the matter
before the representatives, Judge ID. f..
Pugh and Hon. Edward Kibler, who
draughted the bill, will secure permis-
sion to appear in, the hall, and to ex-
plain the proposed law and it's various
provisions In detail. They hope that a
more thorough understanding Of the
measure cannot fail to win supporters.

Columbus, Feb. 2G.--(spl.)-Gov.
Nash said today that he can give no in
formation as to the time when the re-
cess appointments ofex-Governor Bush
nell will he sent TO the Senate for
confirmation. He affirmed positively
that he has not yet reached decision
with respect to tue matter and he hint
cd that he felt IN no haste to have the
question decided Tho long delay has
given rise to the opinion that Prcsi-
dent Mckinley, who has always coun'
seled harmony, is advising that no
Ohioans ought to be disappointed at
| this time, so near the national conven-
tion. He is naturally very desirous of
having the Republican party thorough
ly united for the long campaign OF
the fall and, from political standpoint
at least, there can he no doubt what
sonver as to the wisdom of his course.
| II is now generally believed that the
Office holders who will not be recon-
mcndcd for confirmation number not
more than two or three 1t is even
thought that, in consideration of the
very short time in which the oil in
spectors will, continue to serve, even
they will be allowed to hold Office until
the expiration of their terms. AS for
the state insurance commissioner, 1t
is quite probable that q compromise
will be effected in his case ana that he
will be permitted to retain his Office
until June /, or until some other date
upon which he and the Governor can
amicably agree. 1t is evident tina,
the administration has adopted u con
ciliatory policy and that the Office seek
ers and not the Office holders will be
the only disgruntled Republicans, II SO
be there are any such.

The Governor is not an easy man to
approach from a newspaper stand
point. Always courteous and genial,
he has the faculty to q remarkable de-
gree of cvading the answering of any
question which he considers better un-
aswered. He was pressed today to ex-
sprcss his opinion of the Clark local
option bill now pending before the
Senate. 1t is pretty we'll known that
he is opposed to the passage Of the pro,
posed law, but he could not be trapped
today into committing himself. He told
number OF good stories apropos Of
the subject and sent bis interlocntor
away III such good humor that lie al
most forgot that he had failed 20 learn
that for which he came. Senator Pat
terson, however, who is upon intimate
terms with the Governor. said today
that he will surely vote for the recon-
mcndation of the bill by the commit
tee, He said hc could speak also for
Senator Wightman, who will also favor
the proposed law as drawn. OF the
Ii members of the Judiciary committee
therefore probably at least nine and
probably more will vote TO Recommend

nr.cl.s from Glass Waste.

An important discovery is said to
have been made by DR.. Ormandy of st.
Heiens, formerly science master in the
Gamble Institute. lie has succeeded
in producing bricks of a commercially
valuable character from tie waste
heaps at glass-naking establishments.
This refuse, of which millions of tons
have accumulated, consists mainly Of
spent sand, minute part cies Of glass
and about per cent OF iron from the
various processes, and it has hitherto
been considered that the presence Of
iron prevented the use OF the material
IN the manufacture OF bricks. The ex-
periments carried out by Dr. Ormandy
have negatived this hypothesis and he
has successfully established the fact
that bricks can be produced out OF the
waste by special treatment.

New York, Oct. 30.-Lower New
York was startled at 1890 this after
noon by an explosion in the building
occupied by Tarrant & Co, Wholesale
druggists and chemists, Greenwich
and Warren streets. The first depart
ment almost instantly responded to a
call, had not reached the scene when
three additional explosions occurred,
more yiGioat than the first. a column
of debris and smoke and flame shot
up 500 feet into the sky.
Persons in the vicinity say they saw
human bodies thrown up with the de-
bris when the first explosion occurred.
Tie four explosions occurred in rapid
succession.
The Sixth avenue elevated railroad
structure, which passes the building.
is demolished at that point. Windows
in the vicinity and for blocks around
were blown out by the conclusion.
The flames spread and buildings
across the street were at once in dan
ger.
The fire department on the spot was
quickly reinforced by more apparatus
and calls were s-nt in for all ambu-
lances available in the district.
AT 1 O'Clock it was said that there
were fully $50 persons in the building
at the time Of the first explosion and
few, if any of them, escaped.
One young man, who gave his name
as Harry Ross, said that he was
standing on the corner when the ex-
plosion occurred. He was blown about
ten feet. When he picked himself up
ne said he saw bodies flying through
the air and landing nthe flames.
Three fire horses were cut by flying
glass and will probably have to be
shot. One fire engine was almost
completely demolished by the falling
walls.
1t was said 100 of the employees in
the building were girls. They were
on different floors when the fire broke
out and the explosions occurred. 1t
is hard to sec how these girls could
have escaped. In a restaurant next
door to the drugstore there were about
200 persons eating their luncheon. OF
these many were injured and it is re-
ported that a score or more of them
lost their lives.
Up to 12:45 p. m. eleven injured
persons had been taken to the New
York hospital. The police reserves
from Oldslip, Church street, Oak street
and Elizabeth street stations were
called out.
The first explosion occurred at 1912
D. N. 1t took the roof off the build
ing. 1t was followed a minute and a
half later by two or three sharper ex-
plosions that sent columns of flame
and smoke high into the air.
The explosions sent debris flying
through the air and into the street.
where dozens of persons were in
jured
All the ambulances from hospitals
south of 59th street have been called
TO the scene.
