lures Frank Potts.

Frank Potts. twenty-five years of age,
an engineer employed by the Catholic
University, had a narrow escape from
death shortly after ? o'clock yesterday
afternoon, by being blown, by the sudden
explosion of gas. against the side of gl-
gantic steam boiler, within which he was
working As a result of the accident
potts now occupies a cot in the Emer-
gency Hospital, with his body swathed in
bandagcs His condition last night, the
surgeons said, was still critical.
Potts is an experienced engineer ano
came from Baltimore three years ago,
where his parents reside, to accept Ihe
position of assistant engineer at tne
Catholic University buildings IN BROOK
land For several DAYS there has been a
general oNerha auling OF the steam boilers
in progress. Yesterday afternoon Potts,
taking with him a lantern, crawied INTO
one OF the boilers with the intention OF
repairing il. Five minutes later his as
sistant who was on the outside, heard a
terrible explosion. followed by Potts cry
for help Already dense smoke was slow
Il curling from the mouth Of the boiler,
but the man did not hesitate TO plunge in
at the risk Of his own life. Selling Potts
by his iclothes the assistant dragged him
out into the open air. Both men We're
nearly overcome by gas. 4 telephone
call was sent in TO the Eighth precinct
police station for the ambulance.
The university officials did everything
in their power To make Potts as comfor-
table as possible. on the arrival of the
patrol wagon he was driven rapidly to
the Emergency Hospital where the sur
geons found him to be suffering severely
both from the shock and from many
painful burIis about his body. After re-
ceiying treatment he was placed in
ward.
It is thought that the explosion was
caused by the upsptting of Potts lantern
which ignited the gas contained within
the big tube. Owing to his serious con-
diti0n the police authorities have notified
Potts relatives in Baltimore of the af-
fair. and some members Of his family are
expected in the city today.

ing grade crossings and the moral re
spOnsibility of the railroad companies in
maintaining them. they were OF the opin-
ion that under the very best circum-
stances the presence of railroads is a
menace to children and that parents who

The peculiar part OF the story il that
the police have no record Of any body

friends are playing a practical joke upon
him In telling him that they had been in
formed that he was dead.

Engraving and Printing Small notes
are being exchanged in considerable
amounts for the larger issues The
amount of United States notes outstand-
ing June 30 was $546, ,GSl, ,0l6. and Of that
amount S13G. l22. 17G was in $40 bills 1t is
provided in the act of March "a. 1900, That
not over 10 per cent of the silver certif-
Gates shall be above the so denomination
Reports received at the Treasury De-
partment show that during the first ten
days Of July 3S.3 per cent Of the customs
collections IT New York were paid In
