COL. DURBIN HERE.
Hes Visited All but Three Districts
and Reports Good Conditions.


Col. w. T. Durbin, Republican candidate
for Governor, spent last night in the city
He says he has but three more districts
in the State 20 visit. When he has gone
into the Second. Fifth and Ninth districts,
he will have visited in every county in the
State. Col Durbin believes that within
the next ten days the last bit of apathy
that has existed among Republicans, will
be gone and the State will be fairly ablaze
with Republican enthusiasm.
He says the business men have begun to
take a more active interest in the cam
paign. Many Of his meetings lately have
been composed of business men. At
meeting held in another county a few days
ago, a man made the announcement that
he had given up the Democratic party and
proposed TO support Mckinley and Roose-
Welt. In fact he had come over TO the
Republican party ana he said he knew of
twenty-four other men who were similarly
situated He said he would not give their
names because they expected TO take no
part in the campaign, and he did not
deem il wise TO announce who they were.
Col. Durbin is confident of success in this
State. He will go into the Fifth and Ninth
districts this week.

THREE PERSONS HURT
a MATCH LIGHTED IN A ROOM
FILLED WITH NATURAL GAS.
George II. johnson, His Son Carl and
Louis Machett All Badly Burned
Property Loss.

An explosion of natural gas in the home
of George p. Johnson. 1913 Yandes street,
yesterday morning caused Johnson, his
four-year-old son Carl and Louis Macbeth
TO be terribly burned and although all
were doing nicely late last night the in
5uries OF each may yet prove fatal.
Johnson and Machett formerly lived at
1lz7 Lewis street and were just moving into
the house where the accident occurred.
The natural gas had been turned on and
at that time il was not known that the
caps on the ends OF the pipes were not in
zlace. The odor of gas attracted their at
tention and a search was made for the
leak 1t was not found on the lower floor
and together the men went to the second
story. followed by the child.
II was then found the gas came from
pipes on which there were no caps. Some
Of the windows were opened and the work
of putting the caps on was begun. When
they had been screwed on one of the men
lighted a match TO see II there was yet u
leak from the joint Instantly an explosion
CT the gas yet confined in the room took
place. The room was instantly filed with
flames which set fire TO the clothing OF the
men and the child. who made a dash for
the stairway. On the way out Johnson
seized his boy and carried him down into
tee yard. The noise of the explosion was
heard for several squares and soon the
,ieighbors had gathered about the house.
Mrs L. Formes and Mrs. Albert Hahn,
living near by. were among the first to ar
rive and they assisted the injured men in
tearing away their burning garments.
Johnson was burned severely about the
waist, arms and head, and on one arm the
flesh was torn to shreds. Machett was
burned about the arms and body, and the
child. whose clothing was very light. was
burned from head TO foot. The injuries of
the child are more dangerous than those
OF the others and 1t is feared he cannot
recover.
The men were taken TO the home of Mrs.
Thomas Sullivan and Drs. Garshwiler
1eathers and Ball summoned. Lotions were
quickly applied and their sufferings were
relieved. The cases were then turned over
10 Or. Garshwiler. who said last night the
patients were doing WELL though none of
them was out OF danger.
The fire department was called out on
account OF the fire. which started from the
explosion. The fire had gained but little
Roadway and was easily put out The loss
explosion was estimated at 500. The force
or the explosion shattered nearly every
pane OF glass In the house and tore some
