Frank POpp Burned From His Hea
to His Feet.

Frank Popp Burned From His Head
to His Feet.
Frank Popp, twenty-five years old, en-
ployed as fireman at the Catholic Uni
yersity, was severely burned from his head
to his feet yesterday. while at work CIV
ing the interior Of a boiler coating of an
asphaltum preparation. The preparation 1t
Is stated, contained a quantity Of turpen-
tine, the gases from which caused an ex-
plosion. Popp entered the boiler through
a manhole. carrying with him a lighted
lantern. After working some time he put
his head through the opening to get a
breath OF fresh air. His body filled the
opening, preventing the escape of the gas
from the boiler While he was in this posi-
tion getting the benefit of the fresh air the
explosion occurred.
The injured man was made as comfort
able as possible pending the arrival of the
Emergency Hospital ambulance He was
unconscious when he reached the hospita al,
but he soon recovered after being given
treatment. His condition is serious, and
1t will be several days before the physi-
clans will be able to give an idea of his
chances for recovery
Popp came from Baltimore, where his
relatives reside. They were notified last
night OF the accident.

Water Board Opens Bids.
,ecial Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence OF Inc Evening otar-
LAUREL, Md, July II. 1901.
Bids were opened last night at meeting
of the water board for the diking of the
lake on the Van Tyne farm, which body of
water is to be utilized by the town for its
source of supply, and also for the piping Of
the water from that place to the pumping
station to be located at near the present
electric light plant. The proposals submit
ted by the contractors for the preparation
of the lake met with the approval Of the
members of the board, but the matter Of
putting the pipes in position did not come
up to the requirements set down by the
board, and 1t was decided best to advertise
for additional bids for that part of the
work.
The contract for the clearing of the lake
of all vegetable matter and for raising the
dixie several feet higher is a consider able
one. A large surface of land will have to
be treated in the process. The plan con-
templates the removal of the large amount
entire area. piping the land bordering the
waters, and carrying off this water by
means of piping under the surface of the
lake proper to a point lower down or the
stream. 1t is expected that work will
shortly be begun on this important feature
of the system and pushed to a speedy ter
mination.
The contractors for the installation Of the
system in the town have been making rap
id progress on their contract and have at
the present time put the pipes in nany
streets of the town.

Fugitive Female swan Causes Many

Fugitive Femase swan Causes Many
to LoseIsleep.
The female black swan which left its
mate and escaped from the pond Of the fish
commission park, back Of the Washington
monument. last Friday. still declines to be
captured. Yesterday the marshes along the
river shore weresdiligently secured by ex-
perienced hunters aided by a pair OF trained
dogs, but no truce uf the bird could be
found.
The pursuit grew 1Axciting last night,
however. and crowds OF people lined the
shore In the vicinity of the bathing beach
and watched upwardseof twenty-five small
Doats follow industrionsly up and down In
the wake OF what they thought was the
missing swan. But the bird that was being
chased was the male member of the fam
uy, Whlcn mad been brought from the pond
10 De used as decoy to tempt It's mate to
return The male bird had been fitted with
an ingenious harness. to which was at
tacned strong string. AS soon as 1t was
released In the waters Of the river 1t lost
no time In biting this string Off and then
sailed matestically down stream.
ihe female bird was then forgotten IN
the mao haste to recapture the latest fugf-
i've and boat after boat Joined in the
chase until the river seemed crowded with
small craft. The swan became frightened
and excited and steamed up and then down
the river, with a swiftness that none of the
oarsmen could attain. Gradually the crews
OF the different craft became tired and
dropped out of the race. one by one. In
the small hours of the morning the bird
was driven to Shore where it was guarded
until daylight by the crew of Mr.. 3. s.
Schmids boat. who then caught it and re-
turned it to the pond. The men will sleep
today, and will tonight resume the search
again for the female bird
The swans are considered to be very
valuable pair. Experts say the female will
not be captured until she voluntarily re-
turns a month hence, bringing brood of
young birds with her.
