is AMOUNT OF DAMAGE OF TWO
FIRES YESTERDAY.
Some Exciting Incidents Happened
During the Time.

A bowl of prapnine exploded in the rear
room of the new building of the Wichita
Telephone company yesterday morning
and Charles Jcpling, cable foreman, had
his hands and arms burned severely. The
paraphine IS, used in closing up the ends
of the cables and Mp. Jopling was doing
this work and had closed a cable and
after testing it. found that there was
some moisture in 1t. He dipped it into the
bowl again and there was sharp explo-
sion. The copper wires in the cable were
heated rcd hot by the former melting
and when it touched the bowl 1t set the
stuff off.
Mr. Jopling grabbed the bowl in both
hands and ran with it 10 the door. IN
hts run the paraphine was big mass
OF flames, almost enveloping him and
shooting and squirting in all directions.
1t is considered miraculous by the people
who saw the deed that the man was not
burned a great deal more by the dying
pieces of red hot paraphine. The floor
of the building was set on fire and some
boxes and the paper covered copper wires
of the cables. and this made a bad fire.
The companies were over on the West
eide at a fire, but the men at the house
coupled up some hose to the hydrant at
the house and put the fire out. The dam
age amounted 10 most of the windows
and doors of the rear part of the building
and the wood work scorched and a few
phones burned out, but viii not amount
TO more than 500.
Fire was discovered in the hay and feed
house Of the West Side Racket about
0 clock yesterday morning. This is lit
tie frame building to the east of the big
brick and it was burned almost TO the
ground. The loss will amount to about
$500 TO the feed and building.
J. w. Cox occupies the east part of the
building. where he has little shoe shop.
The fire had gained a great deal of
Roadway when discovered and Mr.. Cox
was forced to jump out of the front win
dow.
Then he happened to remember some
thing. He had left his money drawer
ir his shop The crowd which had gath
cred saw him plunge through that win
COW again and grope about in the blind
ing smoke. He was lost sight of for
few minutes and then he appeared with
what appeared to be a box OF soap.
When the crowd saw this they set up
howl OF derision, but wnen the smoke
begrimmed man with his hair singed.
walked out to the edge of the sidewalk
and opened the end Of that box and
and let them rattle down in his pocket,
the crowd stopped laughing. The money
was dollars, halves ana quarters. just
what the man had taken in for his work
and the crowd admired him for his jump
ing into the flames and rescueing his
hard earned money.

HAPPY BRIDEGROOM AT 1o2.
The Bride IL n Young Thing OF onl!
Eighty Summers.


From the Richmond Dispatch.
Yorktown, Va. Sept. 16.-What is
probably the most peculiar marriage
license ever issued by state official
was prepared by the county clerk of
Gloucester Saturday last. The pecu-
Iiarity in this instance lies in the ex-
IRENE age Of the contracting parties,
the man being 1o2 years of age and his
intended wife 80.
The newly welded pair are Solomon
Lewis and his wife, both respectable
colored people Of this county. The cere-
mony was performed Sunday at New
Mount Zion, in the upper part of the
county, by the Rev. James Smith, q
colored pastor. Solomon was a slave
and belonged to the estate of Tho mas
Fauntleroy Of King and Queen county
His first wife died two years ago, af-
ter a married life Of 20 years. His
grandmother was born aboard a slave
ship while crossing to this country
from Africa and lived to be 10 years
old. His mother, who died in 1868, was
101. He has a brother now living ir
Piney Swamp at the great 1ge of 107
whom he remembers as driving beei
| cattle to Gloucester Point for the
American Army during the War Of
1872
Solomon claims to have been borr
in November, 1899, and thus was one
month old at the death 90 George
| Washington. The old man Is some
what bent by age, but with the aid OF
a stick can walk and carry himself as
erect as If he were only 81.
The marriage of the aged pair was
a matter of great interest to the sur
rounding country, and was Witnessed
by a large conoourse of white people
as we'll as vast crowd of negroes.
