George Mitchell and George Dayton.
The boys were playing around q va
cant house and detected the odor of gas.
They entered the basement and struck a
match in hopes of locating the leak. A
terrible explosion, heard for blocks
away, followed. The house was demol-
sished. the roof being blown entirely off
and the walls blown outward. Windows
in the neighborhood were shattered and
clocks were shaken off the mantels. a
number hurried to the scene of the ac-
cident and carried the boys from the
burning structure and placed them in a
neighboring house and physicians were
summoned. The fire department was
called out and extinguished the flames.
Had the boys been in any other part of
the building they would have been in
stantly killed, or had the structure not
blown outward they would perhaps
have met death by being crushed un-
der the falling walls. The building was
frame structure, a story and half

 London, Dec. 2-Thomas Paterson Goudie, the bookkeeper of the Bank of Liverpool, who disappeared at the time of the discovery that the bank had been robbed of about 10000 pounds, was cap tured today at Bootle, where he had been in hiding. Goudie had 300 pounds in his pocket when arrested He was brought to London for trial with the other men taken into custody today.
 Two of them Dick" Burge the pugi- list and F. T. Kelly, the bookmaker of Bradford, were remanded after a partial hearing of the evidence against them. Hundreds of people clamored for admis- sion into the small court room at Bow Street, hardly capable of holding those directly interested in the case.
 Charles Matthews. counsel for the vic- timized bank, in presenting the case against the prisoners gave the first au- thentic details of the fraud. He explained that there had been twenty-seven checks forged. The first two affected Goudie The next twelve, representing in value | 9, 900 pounds, could be mainly traced to Kelly. Seven checks, aggregating 53, 900 pounds, would be first traced to Kelly and afterward to Kelly and another per son not yet before the court. Six other checks, valued at 900 pounds, would be traced to Laurie Marks, who paid | them into his bank accounts But some | of the proceeds were also traceable to Burge. The whole amount had been | drawn out of the Bank of Liverpool by checks drawn to the accounts of R. w. Hudson. Evidence was then presented to show that Laurie Marks opened an ac- count with the Credit Lyonais at the end of 1899, In October. 1901, he paid in the first Hudson check amounting to 5000 pounds. Later he introduced Burge. who opened an account. After the first Hud- son check was paid in October, Marks deposited two more Hudson checks for 16,000 pounds. On November 1 Burge. ac- companied by Marks, cashed check.
 The same day the identical notes were deposited by James Mances, whom Marks had meanwhile introduced at the bank. Marks, November 4. deposited a Hudson check for 5000 pounds drawn by Marks in his favor. while Mances the same day. cashed another of Marks checks for 10, 900 pounds.
