Peculiar Fatal Acc dent.

Chester Craw, an oil pumper,
formerly of Pennsylvania, died al
Marion Ind, Sunday from periton-
tits, resulting from bruise sus
tanned across the abdomen by the
force of an explosion of gas. The
young mans mother was with him
when he died, and the body wa:
taken to his late home at Monroe
Pa, Monday.
The case Is a very peculiar one
while Crow was engaged In work
Ing at the boiler of an oil well on
the Barley farm, there was an ex
ploslon of gas and he was fright
fully Injured about the face and
across the chest and bowels. he
was on top of the boiler and had
removed the manhole cover and
dropped a lighted paper into the
boiler In order to ascertain the
available water supply. There was
gas In the boiler and Immediately
after the lighted paper was dropped
there was an explosion, the gas and
flames coming out and striking
Crow with considerable force. He
was knocked some distance but die
not lose Consciousness. The force
OF the explosion was so great that
the clothing was entirely blown
from his body.
A pumper was near by and with
others, removed Grow to the house
occupied by the lease hands. A
physician was called and dressed
the burns, which, though serious,
were not necessarily fatal. 1t was
thought that he would recover, but
later 1t was discovered that the gas
had struck Crow with such force
ss 10 cause severe bruise and per-
itonitis resulted. He grew rapidly
worse and death resulted within a
few days. The case has occasioned
much comment among members oi
the medical profession.

This was meeting of unusual In

prehensive report, showing the f.

thanks was rendered Misses Emery

which they had filed their posi-

WASTE OF WATER.
The Waste Takes Place at Night When
Honses are Closed Up and is
Comm n Practice.

The waste OF water from permit
ting it to run to prevent freezing OF
the pipes during cold snap Is
one of the most troublesome prob
lens any city or large community
has to contend with. The waste
takes place at night, when houses
are closed up, and the inspector
can only with much difficulty To-
cate the offenders. 1t Is common
practice, which Is looked upon by
many as a necessity, and Is an un-
productive waste of a prime essen.
tial.
The city water works superin.
tendent urges all families to shut
of the water, and In many cases
the answers Is that II the pipe Is
drained the water left In trap
fret zes. Hence, the average man
prefers to let the water run rather
than thaw a frozen trap. Occasion
ally the superintendent seeks out
the offenders, bat the results are
only temporary. When the 10
spector has served the notice and
taken his departure the water Is
permitted to run as before. The
trouble Is In the plumbing. Where
pipes are properly protected there
is not much danger OF freez'
| ing from the cold weather that
strikes this city. The great troubl.
Is that too many pipes are
placed for warm weather services,
the chief object being to carry them
from the point of ingress to the
points where water Is to be used In
the house. and 1t Is not uncommon
for the pipes to be concealed from
sight, but exposed TO frost for halt
their length. Sistersville residents
will save more on water bills, Ia
case the system of meters IS adopt
ed, by INSPECTING the plumbing
than by orders 10 drain the pipes
on cold nights. Proper plumbing
of houses would also save great
waste OF water to the city, which
otherwise will always exist In spite
of everything the superintendent
can do to prevent 1t.

AMERICANS WIN LAURELS
Grant and lie Roy Defeat the Best
Men in Europe at Indoor
I'm ...... a. G,t.- r.
Tennis.

From a most successful trip on for
eign tennis courts the American in
door champions, Wylie c. Grant and
Robert LIE Roy, returned recently, and
are now receiving the congratulations
of their eliminates and friends Of the
New York Tennis club. The Ameri-
can pair sailed the latter part Of last
July on a tour to include the big tour
naments of Great Britain and the con-
tinent. .--
The trip was a successful one, the
pair taking first place at a number Of
prominent meetings, and they are now
showing the prizes they brought
home. - .s. :
At Moffat, Scotland, both reached
the semi-flnals in the singles for the
Scottish championship, where they
were beaten by close scores. j.. w.
Payne, who defeated LIE Roy, took
first place. In the doubles they lasted
until the finals, when they were forced
to lower their colors to A. w. Mac
Gregor and J. w. Payn. Later. Wylie
Grant successfully defended his title
to the North Of Scotland champion
ship.
From Scotland the American pair
journeyed to the continent, and at
Hamburg scored a big triumph by
winning the championship of Europe.
This tourney attracts the leading
players from far and near. There
were some eighteen teams entered in
the doubles.
''The winning of this trophy" said
Mr.. Grant, was the feature of our
trip. There we defeated Richie and
Ball-Greene, one of the leading Eng
lish teams. In this match LIE Roy got
a bad fall in the second set that cut
his face up so he had to be attended
by a surgeon. He came out all right,
however, and played to the finish. Iii
this match the bound of one of my
smashes knocked off the hat of a
countess who sat in the royal box.
The German emperor, who is a
tennis enthusiast. was present at the
tourney, but was unable to wait for
our match. He expressed desire to
see us and learn the American twist
service. The trophy cups that we
won were presented by William
Rhinelander Stewart, Of New York,
who was present during the entire
tourney.
I'VE also won the open doubles at
The Hague, Holland" continued Mr..
Grant, land LIE Roy took first place in
the singles for the championship Of
Europe. We had a very pleasant time
with the Dutch players At East
bourne we met the DOherty brothers
and they rendered us dinner party.
The Dohertys were very modest about
their winning the Davis trophy at
Newport
In honor Of the return of the play
ers the New York Tennis club plans
to hold reception on Saturday after
noon on the club courts. It is hoped
to secure one Of the crack teams Of
the country to meet LIE Roy and
Grant in a series Of exhibition
matches
