STEAM HEATER EXPLODED.
Five Persons Injured and Havoc Caus-
ed in John r. Callahan's House on
Dixwell avenue

Five Persons Injured, and Havoc Caus-
ed in John F. Callahan's House on
Dixwell avenue
The explosion of a steam heater in
the cellar of the grocery store of j. f.
Callahan at S27 Dixwell avenue about
s o'clock Saturday evening, injured five
persons and wrecked the interior of the
store. The injured are: John Leonard
clerk cut by glass, and Gertrude Gala
han, Mollie Callahan, Willie Keeler, and
Madeline Tucker, scalded by escaping
steam.
The building in which the explosion
occurred is d three-story double frame
structure containing saloon and
grocery store on the ground floor, and
it was under the latter that the steam
heater was located. At the time of the
explosion Mr.. Callahan was in the back
yard and there were in the store be-
sides the clerks, Mr. Callahans two
daughters and two children who live in
the neighborhood. The explosion start
ed a fire in the basement, which was
quickly extinguished by neighbors
Leonard one of the clerks, was slight
return to work after having his wound
dressed by DR.. Leonard Woolsey Bacon,
jr., who was summoned. The four chill
dren who were playing in the window
were severely scalded Mr.. Callahan's
Oldest daughter, Mollie, received the
most serious injuries. All of them are
resting easily, and bid fair to recover
quickly.
Mr.. Callahan is at a loss to explain
the accident The wrecked boiler was
put in about six months ago and was
regulated to carry fifty pounds pressure.
When examined a short time before the
explosion there was much less than fifty
pounds pressure on the boiler, and as it
contained the usual amount of water
the explosion must have been caused
by defect. The damage is estimated
at $1,000 which is covered by insur
ance. Mr.. Callahan had recently reft
ted his store at some cost, and conse-
quently his loss is especially heavy.

THE ENGINEERS HEARING.
The Ships Shaft Sounded Rotten

The Ships Shaft Sounded Rotten
and an Accident Was Averted.
81 see that the big liner ST. Paul lost
one of her propellers through the shalt
swapping off during the last trip
across" said a former sea captain, now
in business here. 1.-THE strain put on
propeller shaft in any large vessel is
something frightful, and it has to have
extraordinary strength to Withstand it.
The worst part of it is when the stern
lifts out of water during pitch. Then
the propeller blades have nothing to
play against except air, and, naturally,
they begin to race. While they are
whizzing around at top speed they
souse into the water again, and you
can imagine the shock! 1t makes the
whole ship tremble like scared horse.
If there is the slightest flaw in the
shaft 1t is apt to snap off like piece
of glass.
IT remember, before I quit the sea-"
continued the ex-captain Il was once
first officer on a fine cargo tramp from
Liverpool. Our chief engineer was an
old Welshman named Dawes. He was
a rough old fellow, with mighty little
of what you might call book education,
but If ever there was a natural born
genius he was the man. Engineering
seemed to be kind of an instinct with
him, and when there was any trouble
with the machinery he could put his
finger on the exact spot, where another
man might be puttering around for a
day.
10 hov IN, Ina =, aI
cleared from our home port with
mixed cargo for Rio and on the second
day out old Dawes all of a sudden
stopped her engines. 1t was my watch
and I went below to find out what was
up. There's something wrong with that
propeller shaft said he, and he took
a lantern and started to go over it, inch
by inch. Inside an hour he found two
holes that had been bored in it about
midway down, where the strain was
greatest, and nicely filled up with soap
and plumbago. 1t was evidently the
work of an assistant engineer who had
row and quit at Liverpool Any big
shock would have been certain to break
the shaft in two, but as Providence
willed it, we had smooth weather up to
lUdl llIle. DdWeS TlFeleQ a steel collar
around the weak spot and we made Rio
without accident, under about three
fourths speed.
II often asked him afterward how he
came to suspect anything was wrong.
and all he could tell me was that the
shaft sounded rotten I suppose there
was some false note in the vibration.
either that or it was the biggest piece
of luck on record. New Orleans

The appearance of Dickson & Mus
tard's big spectacular pantomime,
"Humpty Dumpty" at the Grand opera
house tonight and Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights and at the matinee We'd
nesday, will be hailed with delight by
the theater-going public. ''Humpty
Dumpty' in it's new dress will be an
entirely new production from that of

ing of the great production says:
"Humpty Dumpty sat on a WALL
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
And all the Kings horses and all the
Kings men
Could not put Humpty Dumpty to-
gether again,
THUS ran the rhyme of childhood
days. The spectacular trick pantomime
was offered to a theater crowded to the
doors at the Grand opera house last
evening, All the adventures of the Pes
tiferous Perturbation were depicted, 1t
showed how Humpty Dumpty was
brought out from the big ova, and how
he persisted in disturbing all. Every
body is familiar with the story, so it is
almost useless to treat of the plot and
the characters concerned. George II.
Adams, Americas greatest clown, was
Humpty Dumpty, and had everybody
in roars of laughter. His antics were
amusing indeed. His speciality with
stills in the second act was a great
piece of artistic work. The other char
acters were assumed as follows: Buckle
My Shoe, w. II. Bartholomew Tom
my Tucker, Joseph G. Smith; Little
Goody Two Shoes, Lily Adams; Pa
cida, Marguerite Williams, and Prince
of Darkness, Tonina Adams The
Adams sisters gave a good singing and
dancing speciality. Fielding, the funny
juggler, was there with a lot Of tossing
with hats and spheres and cigars. Zelda,
the great equiibrist, gave a splendid
exhibition of snake twists, hand and
neck stands, and sat on his head while
suspended in the air by his teeth" Sc

THE ICE STORM

How silently the rain against my window
pane
Last night its gentle mist-like showers
threw,
Now with the rising sun, the work which
it hath done
Seems far beyond the power of such gen.
tie force to do.
For over hills and plain, the gentle mist
like rain
Hath thrown suit of armor all complete.
Bright as FURNISHED BRASS clear as trans
parent glass
And hard like iron underneath our feet
While every shrub and tree, as far as eyes
can see,
An unwonted foliage of bright Jewels
wears,
From Juniper so dark, to bricks with snowy
bark,
Each weeps the change with jewelry for
Gears.

Brawn and Muscle Victorious in
 Athletic Shorts.

New York, Sept. 25.-The atheletes of Yale and Harvard met the athletic rep resentatives of Oxford and Cambridge Universities today at Berkeley Oval in track and field events and, as was ex- pected, the brawn and muscle of the American collegians proved to be too much for the visitors, the Americans win ming six out of the nine events on the program. One point was counted for each win. so that the Harvard and Yale men defeated their English opponents by a score of six points to three.
 Better weather conditions could not have been desired as during the greater part of the afternoon the athletes were favored by warm sunshine and cool breeze which blew down the home stretch, but was not strong enough to aid the flight of the runners.
 Between. the American universities honors were equally divided, Harvard and Yale each winning three events. The Ox- ford representatives failed to gain point for the visiting team, the light blue of Cambridge being in front In all three contests. which were won by Englishmen.

 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 25.-The, bullish weekly crop report and light movement failed to exert a perceptibe effect on Liverpool It Is evident that the minds of foreign traders are absorbed completely in the state of trade and the significance of all other features is dis regarded for the present Cables stated that offerings were light but these was little or no demand as the unsatisfactory conditions O. business ed spinners to display an atti- tude of absolute indifference. An easier ten dency was occasioned here early In the ses- sion in accordance with the unfavorahle tone of spots due to freer country offerings, and some liuuidation of October contracts on ac- count of notice day increased the selling pres sure which encountered a fair speculative de- mand around 7.5o for January and the mar ket halted at that figure. Closing quotations are 668 points lower than yesterday. t=a
 The condition of the market at present may be duly described conflict between ba1 trade and a poor crop outlook, the outcome of which Is problematical.
