INJURIES MAY BE FATAL.
Mrs. John Hamilton Seriously Burned
Her Husband Also Injured.

-HeT duSOa0Q ALSO
A blaze was started in the house Of John
Hamilton in Gardens row, on Minnesota
avenue, Anacostia, this morning, shortly
after Z o'clock, and before 1t could be ex-
tinguished Mrs. Hamilton was frightfully
burned and may die. Her husband was
severely burned about his hands. His con-
dition is not critical, although It will prob
ably be several weeks before he will be
able to use his hands
Mrs Hamilton went to the kitchen to
start a fire in a gasoline stove before she
had removed her sleeping robe. and the
stove exploded, her gown catching fire.
BY the time her husband reached her in
response to her screams she had been burn
ed almost from her head to her feet. In at
tempting to save his wife's life he was
burned.
Neighbors went to the assistance of the
couple and No. 10 engine company respond
ed to a local alarm. The police reserves
from the AnacOStia station also responded
and rendered assistance. Mrs. Hamilton
was wrapped in blankets and her husband
was also made comfortable as possible
and both were placed in the ambulance to
be taken to Providence Hospital.
At the hospital they were attended by DR..
Howard. He found that Mrs. Hamilton
condition was serious, although, he stated.
she has a chance to recover. Her most
serious injury, the doctor found, was to the
lower part of her body and her legs. De-
spite the burns, she did not lose conscious
ness Mr.. Hamilton's burns are much deep
er than are those his wife received, but the
area covered is much smaller.
The firemen experienced but little trouble
In extinguishing the blaze. The damage to
the house amounted to about $15 and to the
furniture about the same amount. Peter 9.
Garden owns the property.

How We Conduct an Auction.

We are thoroughly imbued with the idea
that an auction business should and can
be conducted along as honorable lines as
any business in Washington. or elsewhere
for that matter, and 1t is to this end we
are striving. The auctioneer occupies a
dual position. representing he does both
seller and buyer, and he should manifestly
be fair to both, using his best efforts and
skill as a salesman in behalf of the seller
and yet not unmindful of the interests Of
those who buy.
But why go to an auction? Where is
there better, safer, easier or fairer way
to dispose of property, with which choice
or necessity bids you part, than the auc-
ton house where confidence Is not mis-
placed? Or, if a buyer. where can you get
more for your outlay in the purchase of
such articles suitable to your requirements
which some one Is willing to sell to the
highest bidder?
1t is with no little pride that we number
among our patrons some of the best people
of Washington; and whether it be the
wealthy who is looking for some rare arti-
Gle household necessity. or some humble
cottager seeking the most his money will
buy. each alike will find the same spirit of
fairness here. 1t is along these lines, cou-
pied with what we believe proper profess
sional skill, abilities and facilities, that we
solicit the patronage of the people.
Very respectfully,
Wilson & Mayors, Auctioneers

NEW HIGHWAY BRIDGE.
Work on the Structure is Progressing
Satisfactorily

The work of building the new highway
bridge across the Potomac is progressing
rapidly, and before cold weather sets in
the work will be considerably advanced.
Several of the stone piers, at both the Vir-
ginia and Washington ends of the bridge,
are completed, and work is being pushed
on the pier on which the draw is to rest
and on the finder piers on each side of it,
a large force of men and many scows and
barges being employed in the work. The
construction of the steel structure has COM
menced at the Washington end, the string
ers which are to support the new bridge
having been placed in position several days
ago. AT the Virginia end of the bridge the
pile work on which the new structure is to
rest Is being put in position and is being
made ready for the travelling derrick to be
built on it. The work on the highway
bridge Is advancing much more rapidly than
it did on the new railway bridge, it was
several months after the piers were COM
pleted before the steel work was started.
The big blocks of stone of which the piers
are built are stored near the entrance to the
tidal basin and are taken to the site of the
pier as they are wanted. In building the
piers the same plan used in the construction
of the piers for the railway bridge is being
followed. A cofferdam is first built around
the site of the pier, and with powerful
pumps it is kept free from water while
the workmen are engaged in laying the
massive granite blocks.

Perils of Land and Sea.

For many years. Captain Willnef. says
the Times of Gloucester, Mass, was one
of the best known seamen in the Glouces-
ter fleet. The catarrhal troubles with
which he suffered for fifteen years made
him dread the nights at sea, being unable
10 lie down and sleep on account of the
constant catarrhal dropping.
Captain Willnef went to two different
hospitals for treatment but could get no
lasting benefit. He constantly raised yell
low and green phlegm and his trouble be-
came so unbearable and nauseating that
he was ashamed to go out in company.
When despairing of ever getting relief
his wife purchased a Hyomei outfit for
him, and. trying 1t before going to bed, he
enjoyed the first whole nights sleep for
ten years. Captain Willnef says: II have
used less than two bottles of Hyomei and
have been cured by the remedy"
Hyomei kills the germs of catarrh and
makes lasting and permanent cures
Henry Evans sells Hyomei under his per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money If it
does not give quick relief.
