in a fire which started from an explosion
and which destroyed their home to-day
that they died a few hours later. An
adopted son, who was the only other occu-
pant Of the house at the time of the ex-
plosion, was slightly burned. Mrs. Bias
dell was conscious for some time before her
death and from her it was learned how
the explosion occurred. Awakened early in
the morning by a strong smell OF gas, she
began an investigation. When she reached
the hall she struck a match and instantly
there was a terrific explosion The walls
of the house were forced outward and one
side of the building dropped.
Fire broke out in half a dozen places,
and the whole house was soon in flames.
The adopted son, who slept in a remote
part of the house. rushed to his foster
mothers rescue and succeeded in smoth-
ering the flames that enveloped her. Mrs.
Blasdell walked out as far as the street,
where she fell unconscious. Mr.. Blasdell,
who had been awakened by the explosion,
endeavored TO reach the stairway, but
found himself cut off by the flames. With
his night clothing ablaze he was forced to
Jump from an upper window. The shock
of the fall and the severe burns resulted in
his death. Mrs. Blasdell died at the home
of a relative.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1o-The Press

meningitis. popularity known as spotted
fever and one of the hardest contagious
diseases to combat, has broken out in the
ranks of the 200 men aboard the receiving
ships Minneapolis and Puritan at League
Island navy yard. Already IL has killed
three young recruits, while five more vic
Tins are lowering between life and death
Grave fears prevail that others among the
embryo blue Jackets who ate, worked and
slept with the stricken may fall into the
fever's embrace. This prospect has alarmed
the officers at the yard to such an extent
that heroic effort will be made to prevent
a spread of the disease. not only by con-
stantly watching the men, but by remov-
ing them entirely from the two receiving
ships.
To-day the work of raising thirty-five
canvas shelters are in place the !, 200 young
tars will be put out TO camp, giving them
plenty of fresh air and more room for ex-
ercise, which, it is thought, will materially
lessen the chance for further inculcation
of the disease. When the men leave the

be subjected TO thorough fumigation. L

vent the development of any more cases

ease. Three have died. he said, and we

ticeable. Fresh, young faces looked up
from every side. while here and there the
black-robed,, sweet-faced sisters exercised
their silent guardianship. There were
plenty OF older people. some who had taken
part in the reception of Bishop Chatard
twenty-five years ago. The clergy was well
represented. most of the PRIESTS being
seated on the stage. The audience was
entirely representative in character. of di-
verse elements, but animated by a single
impulse-to pay tribute to the notable life
and services of a good man.

bishop of the, diocese. entered Bishop
Chatard, in his purple robes and purple
skull cap. took his seat to the right of the
chairman's stand. Instantly every one In
the great audience arose to his feet and
remained there until the bishop. pleasure
reflected from his serene fs,ce, took his
seat. Then there was a hearty demonstra-
tion of applause, which continued several
minutes. Bishop Chatard bowed and raised
his hands In smiling depreciation. The
Knights Of Father Mathew Military Band
marched to the front nf the hall, playing a
stirring patriotic air, the stage gradually
filled with the dignitaries AMI Andrew NJ
Sweeney. chairman OF the meeting, seated
himself beside Bishop Chatard
When Mr.. Sweeney arose to make the
opening speech the applause broke out
again. There was no mistaking the genu-
Inc sentiment and enthusiasm. Mr..
Sweeney, after he had finished. turned to
Bishop Chatard and handed him an en-
velope containing a check for $780, the
gift OF the laity OF indianapolis. The bish-
ops hands trembled slightly as he took the
gift, and again he smiled his pleasure.
