TORPEDO FACTORY BLOWS UP

CLEVELAND, O., May Am explosion
in the plant of the Thor Manufacturing
company killed four persons and twenty
eight others were seriously Injured, some
Of whom will die.
The Thor Manufacturing company is en-
gagged In the manufacture Of toy torpedo
canes and other explosives.
The force Of the explosion was tremen-
dous and windows within a radius Of a
quarter of a mile were broken. Next to
the factory lived Maurice Cohen with his
wife and eight children. The force OF the
explosion tumbled his house like a pack
of cards, the woman and four children
were caught in the falling partitions and
all were horribly crushed and Mrs. Cohen
died on the way to the hospital. Another
house directly in the rear also fell ~injuring
Mrs. Barney Quass and two boys.
The explosion was caused by a peculiar
fire. The torpedo caps are nlled in molds
and the loose powder spills on the floor.
During the lunch hour one of the new girls
playfully showed another. She slid along
the floor her shoes striking a spark in
some loose powder. Instantly the floor was
ablaze.
With great presence Of mind one of the
girls lifted a tub of water and threw IL Oh
the fire. The blaze had gained too great
Roadway, however, and the water did not
quench it. The girls did not seem to realize
their great danger and we're trying to ex-
tinguish the flames. A passing painter,
however, realizing what was stored in the
building, yelled to the girls to run for their
lives.
There were ten girls, four boys and one
man in the factory when the explosion &C.
CURED. All Of these got out except Flor
ence Lipster, Willard Cole, son of one of
the proprietors of the place and Arthur
Conway, a 14-year-old boy.
The flames were easily subdued after the
explosion, as there was nothing left OF the
factory but a pile Of debris. The fire fight
ers at once commenced digging in the ruins
for the imprisoned ones and all we're quickly
rescued.
A short distance from the factory Harry
Gleuchmann. a 15-year-old boy was lying
critically i'll of typhoid fever. The ex-
plosion and the consequent shock was too
great for him to bear and he died within
nve minutes. At another nearby house q

was deeply gashed. A splinter Of the glass

On the theory that seeing is believing" John A.
smith OF Milwaukee wants everyone to try hts
remedy for the cure OF rheumatism at his expense,
for that reason he proposes TO distribute Is. 900 free
boxes among all persons sending him their address.
Mt. Smith has suffered all the agony and torture
from rheumatism, tried all the remedies known and
yet utterly failed to md relief.
At times he was so helpless that he had to take
morphine, and after considerable dOctoring he gave
OF rheumatism, and after much experimenting
hnaly hit upon a combination OF drugs which COM
pletely cured him. Tho result was so beneficial to
his entire system that he called his new-found REM
edy Gloria Tonic.' Those Of his friends, rela-
tives and ~neighbOrs suffering from rheumatism we're
next cured, and Mr.. Smith concluded TO offer his
remedy to the world. But he found the task a
difhcult one, as nearly everyone had tried a hundred
or more different remedies and they couldn't be
made to believe that there was such a thing as a
cure for rheumatism. But an old gentleman from
seguin, Texas wrote him. saying II Mr.. Smith
would send him a sample he would try II, but as he
had suffered ~forty-one years and wasted a fortune
with doctors and advertised remedies. he wouldn't
buy anything more until he knew II was worth
something. The sample was sent. he purchased
more, and the result was astonishing. lie was COM
pletely cured.
This gave Nj. Smith = new idea. and ever since
that time he has been sending out free sample boxes
to all who apply.
The result is that thousands Of people have been
cured Of Rheumatism. Govt, Lumbago and Sciattca
through Gloria Tonic.
It has cured people from every locality and IL all
sations OF life.
Those cured have varied In ages from eight to
eighty-four years, their suffering and amictions
varying from a few weeks and months TO So years.

POLICE GREETING FOR DAVIS
Man with a Peculiar Record IL
Received with Open

Charles Davis dropped into the city two
days ago. ostensibly from Hillsdale, Ia.
after an absence Of several years, and was
received by the police with annoying
eftusiveness and taken up to the city Jail

Mr.. Davis did the piece of entering Fri
day at Twenty-third and Davenport streets.
in which work the door was opened and
closed by a skeleton key. Davis has served
two penitentiary terms, one OF them under
peculiar circumstances Charles Davis has
a brother named Joe and about eight years
ago the pair were arrested and convicted,
Charles Of petty larceny and Joe for burg
larry. These brothers were twins and hard
TO tell one from another. The sheriff took
the burglary brother to the penitent!ary
and passed him in to serve his two years,
leaving the petty larceny man to do his
thirty days in the county jail here. II
was DOT until about two weeks afterwards
that 1t was discovered that the wrong
brother had been taken to Lincoln. The
scheme was that Charles, answering to the
name Of Joe, should go to the penitentiary
an. serve for thirty days, until the burgler,
Joe, had finished the larceny term and
gotten away, after which Charles was to
declare his Identity and be liberated. The
sheri1, thinking to spoil the game and see
Justice through as scheduled. took the real
Joe to Lincoln and asked for an exchange.
He then found that this could not be done
without getting a pardon for Charles, as
he had been entered on the books as Joe
and must so serve. The governor refused
to grant the pardon, as Charles had been
planning practically a jail delivery. and
so both Joe and Charles served the entire
term together in the penitentiary on the
one sentence.
