TWO SMALL FIRES.
Rats Supposed to Have Started Both by
Gnawing Matches.

There was an alarm Of fire sent In from
the residence Of Mrs. Fannie Page. at 1888
Cedar street northwest, about $3.50 o'clock
this morning. It is thought that rats
gnawing at matches caused the blaze.
The flames spread rapidly. and by the time
the firemen reached the house in response
to the alarm there was apparently but lit
tie hope Of saving the house and contents
The firemen lost no time in getting to
work, however, and it required but short
time to get the flames under control. The
personal effects of Mrs. Page were saved,
but the house was damaged to the amount
Of 800. The flames spread to the adjoin-
ing house, occupied by William Smith, and
caused slight damage to his home.
Rats are also blamed for a fire that oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon in the house OF
John Falconer, at Brightwood, near the
Brightwood Hotel. No 2 chemical engine
company responded to a local alarm and
extinguished the blaze. The damage to
the house and contents is estimated at
about $500. J. R. Keene owns the prop
erty, which is insured

DEATH
VERDICT OF JURY WHICH INVES-
TIGATED AN EXPLOSION.
Bursting of Cartridge, Which Caused
Instant Death Of Francis
Penny.

Acting Secretary Darling has received
report from Lieut.. A. c. Dfenenbach, IN
spector Of ordnance at the naval proving
grounds. Indian Head, in regard to the re-
cent premature explosion of 6-pounder
cartridge, which resulted in the instant
death of Francis Penny and the serious in
jury of Nelson Jackson, both colored An
inquest was held on the remains of Penny
last Monday. Lieut.. Dieffenbach said the
coroners jury was given every facility
land under a very careful and thorough In
quiry it's verdict accidental death, with
no blame attached to any officer or others
at the station
A naval board of investigation was ap-
pointed. with Lieut.. 7. ]. Sem as the senior
member This board has examined wit
nesses. and has also made an examination
of the gun. 1t has not yet completed its in
vestigation.
My own observation and experience,
says Lieut.. Dieffenbach, together with Spe-
cial experiments since made lead me to tho
conclusion that the cause Of the explosion
a defective or supersenS1tive primer.
The gun. a 8-pounder Vickers- Maxim semi
automatic. was one of many of that kind
and of hundreds of similar guns previously
proved without accident. The powder was
the same and the charge the same as had
been used the day before in similar gun.
THE primer projectile and all features Of
loading and printing were apparently the
same as had obtained thousands of times
before. The officer and crew. and Penny in
particular, had had a great deal of expert
ence. Penny having been at the same work
at. the proving ground for about twelve
years and jackson nearly as long.
Usual Precautions Taken.
"All the usual precautions were taken. and
the lanyards led to behind an armor cover
ed tower for safety while firing. Two
guns were being proved at time. and one
with an exactly similar cartridge had been
loaded into it's gun and the breach closed,
and the same operation was being carried
on in this gun, and when the breech block
was about half closed the cartridge ex-
ploded, blowing out about half the head of
the case and the primer killing Penny and
injuring jackson. Penny in falling to the
rear fell against Lieutenant A. ST. G. Smith.
who standing almost directly in rear
of the gun experimenting the operation,
and at that instant specially engaged
in seeing that the lanyards were not pre-
maturely and accidentally pulled. He im-
mediately reported to me by telephone"
Lieutenant Dieffenbach said he proceeded
to the scene at once and took all steps that
were possible for the relief of the wounded
man. Jackson was brought to the Emer-
gency Hospital in this city, where he is re-
ported doing well. with. however. the loss
of one eye. The remains of Penny were
turned over to his relatives for burial.
