STEAM PIPES BURST
Barber Shop Patrons Flock to
Street i'm Haste

A few minutes before o'clock last
night a terrific explosion was heard
in the basement of the Court block, "a
East Fourth street. directly under T.
H. Lyles' barber shop. The entire
building rocked dizZily and a cloud of
smoke and steam rushed from the
windows of the basement.
People on the street thought some
thing terrible must have happened and
the few patrons in the barber shop
were evidently of the same opinion, as
three or four badly frightened men
were noticed to dash out the front door
across the street and into the court
house yard, closely followed by the
BARRIERS. One of the BARRIERS still had
his razor clutched in his hand while
one of the patrons face was covered
with lather.
A few minutes after the first explo-.
sion a second took place and then a
third. but no further damage resulted,
and after a considerable wait the
cause of the trouble was investigated.
One of the steam pipes running
from the plant in the basement to the
floor above had exploded. filling the
basement with scalding steam, but
otherwise doing no harm. The engineer
was in the basement at the time, but
escaped injury.

FIRE CAUSES SUIT
Woman Seeks to Recover From
Man Who Started 1t

Interesting developments came thick
and fast in the trial of the damage
suit of Rose Weinstein VS.. Harry Edel-
son before jury in Judge Hallam's
division of the district court yesterday.
The suit is one instituted to recover
$4,000, the alleged value of personal
property owned by Mrs. Weinstein and
burned in the fire which destroyed the
building at Up State street owned by
Edelson. The fire occurred last Febru-
airy and was started from fire built
by Edelson to thaw out some frozen
water pipes.
The defense claims that Mrs. Vein
stein could easily have gotten her
property, or most of 1t at least, out OF
the building. but that she preferred to
let 1t burn because she knew Edelson
had the building well insured. Numer-
Gus questions which they asked the
plaintiff when she was on the witness
stand shows this and an effort will be
made to prove it when they begin the
introduction of testimony today.
Mrs. WeinStein stoutly denies that
she ever thought of such thing and
testified on the stand that the fire
burned so swiftly that she was very
busy saving herself. She testified that
she did not have any insurance upon
her property, which consisted of con-
siderable sterling silver plate, furni-
ture, clothing and jewelry. She also
admitted that she knew the Edelson
property was insured in some amount,
just how much she did not know.

COURT is SUSTAINED
Federal Court Hands Down Two
Patent Decisions

Two decisions, both involving in
Engagements of patents. were handed
down in the federal court of appeals
yesterday afternoon. The decision of
the lower courts is sustained in both.
The appeal of the International Man
ufacturing company ct al. against the
ii. f. Brammer Manufacturing COM
pany, appellees, comes from Nebraska
and involves patent washing ma
chine. The appellants asked for an.
injunction restraining the appellees
from manufacturing the machine which
they alleged infringes on their patent
and for an accounting. The point in
vowed was whether one company max
ing an Improvement on a patented ma
chlne could manufacture 1t entire n
another company held a patent on the
machine without improvement The
circuit court holds that 1t cannot.
Whether a patent applied for and re-
FUSED, and later issued dates from the
date of the first application or not was
the point involved in the appeal of the
Hayes Young Tin Plate company
against the st. Louis Transit com
pany, appeilees. Another important
point was whether absence of aver.
ment that an invention for which q
patent is applied was not in use for
Two years prior to the application for
such patent, invalidated it or not. The
court of appeals holds that il does. and
That patent applied for and abandon
ed and later reapplied for and granted.

application.

New Steamer Is Given Test as
to Efficiency

The new engine recently purchased
by the fire department was tested YES

isfaction
The test was made at the old ball

beginning at 3 o'clock and continuing.
untiI after 8. Chief Strapp had direct
charge or the testing and the fire COM
mlSsloners attended in a BODY to wit
ness the work of the engine.
Inc first test made was the length
or time required by the engine to get
up enough steam to throw a stream of
water Just BOB minutes after the
loren had been applied 100 pounds of
steam were registered on the guaee
and the engine was throwing a $50
root stream of water through 500 feet
OF hose. An inch and a quarter nozzle
was used.
The length of hose was gradually in
creased until 1000 feet were in use and
dlfterent sized noZZles were used. Two
lines of hose were used at the same
time and all other possible fire tests
were given but the engine easily met
all requirements. The capacity of the
engine as measured yesterday was 900
gallons of water to the minute under a
steam pressure of 155 pounds. After
the test the fire commissioners and
chief Strap declared themselves high
ly pleased with the engine

WILL RAISE FUND
CO!Ored Citizens to Pay for
Memorial Window

The memorial window to John Brown
in the Peoples church will be pal dior
before May 1.
This was decided at mass meeting
of colored citizens, held at Mckinley
hail, Western and University avenues,
last night. at which about fifty persons
were present. The meeting was called
by the Mems Sunday club, a colored
organization, to discuss the matter of
payment for the window which was in
stalled three years ago at the time that
the church was rebuilt after the fire.
Last month DR.. Smith sent commu-
nication to the Mems Sunday club in
forming them that the window had not
been paid for and urging that as the
window was placed to the credit of the
race. it might be we'll for the club to
collect the money from colored resi-
dents of the state.
Those present decided to take the
matter in their own hands and en-
deavor to collect the money to be turn
ed over to DR.. Smith by May 1. A to-
tai of $63 was pledged, and the chair
man instructed to appoint a commit
tee of twenty persons to canvass for
the additional $37 among colored citi-

FIRfMfN HAVE HARD
STRUGGLE WITH BLAZE
Flames Get Good Start and
Give Department Three
Hours Fight

Fire that threatened to destroy the
entire block broke out in the building
occupied by A. l.. Eye, dealer in bar
fixtures and billiard supplies, at
21S-220 East Seventh street, shortly
after O'clock last night, entailing a
loss of $4,000.
The fire started in the basement of
Eyes store and had gained the ele-
vator shaft before it was discovered.
An alarm was turned in at once, but
by the time the engine companies ar
rived the basement was a seething
mass of fire and the flames were shoot
ing up the elevator shaft towards the
roof.
The basement was stored with in
fiammable materials, and the dense
smoke rendered the work of the fire
men both difficult and dangerous. Nu-
merous streams were soon playing on
the blaze. but the flames had worked
through the partitions of the building
and made their way towards the roof,
in spite of the efforts of the firemen.
Tenants living over the store and in
the adjoining block were ordered to
leave the building by Chief Strapp, and
the order was hurriedly obeyed.
AT one time it seemed as If the fire
would spread to the adjoining build
fngs, as the flames that had reached
the roof were famed by a strong
breeze and long tongues of fire shot
out from all sides. The nearby roofs
were thoroughly wetted, however, and
after a struggle of over an hour the
fire was driven back
About two hours after the first alarm
had been turned in the fire was prac-
tically out and most of the apparatus
left for home. One engine company
remained on guard until about 9
o'clock, when the fire was declared
completely out.
The blaze was one of the hardest the
hremen have had to fight for some
time, and several of the men were
overcome by the dense smoke. Joseph
Slana, pipeman of engine company
No. was struck by a piece of falling
glass and cut about the hands and
arms. The cause of the fire has not
been learned.
The loss TO A. L. Eye through dam
aged stock is estimated at $4,000 and
the damage to the building at 81 900.

BONDSMEN MUST PAY
CONTRACTORS BILL
Judge Brill Hands Down Decision
Establishing Precedent

Bondsmen for contractors in public
or private work are responsible for all
bills incurred by that contractor for
materials ordered to the scene of the
work, whether or not they are used
there, according to q decision made
yesterday in the district court by Judge
Bril-. The decision was in the case of
the Dana Warehouse company suing
j. II. Donohue and p. Schollert for pay
ment of bills incurred by w. J. Pres
ton, sewer contractor, who is now a
bankrupt.
Preston ordered brick and cement
from the plaintiff company and had it
delivered at the scene of his work in
constructing sewers on Mendoza and on
Fillmore streets. The bill was for
$221.S5 and the bondsmen contested
payment upon greater part of it be-
cause major portion of the $4,000
brick, payment for which was involved,
was not used in either of those Jobs.
but were used elsewhere by the con-
tractor. The judge decided against
them. saying that the place of use was
not material in the case, and he gave
the plaintiff company judgment in the
full amount asked.

still refused to dump the sweepings on
the island he would take steps to COM

that he had not much faith in the
statement that the cost would be so
great that it was not good business

FINDS TINY BABY
BOY ON DOORSTEP
Eugene Finger Receives Infant
Addressed to Him by
Parents

The plaintiVe wailing of an infant in
distress caused Eugene Finger. a dep
uty in County Treasurer FootS Office
to hurry to the door of his home. 1868
Exchange street, at $3.50 o'clock Tues
day night and to find on the porch a
tiny white bundle, from which the
screams were proceeding with increas-
ing force and vehemence. Mr.. Finger
picked the bundle up and carried it
into the house, where Mrs. Finger soon
discovered that it contained a bright,
lively baby boy.
The screams soon subsidized under the
influence of the warm room and COM
Portable light, and Mr.. and Mrs. Finger
found time to realize that there was a
baby in the house and to do some in
VeStigating. Baby was dressed in neat
white clothing and pinned to the breast
of the dress they found an envelope.
1t contained a letter, written in Ger
man, which translated read:
Dear Mr.. Finger: l am leaving my
baby on your doorstep and / hope you
and Mrs. Finger will give the boy a
home. He was born in the month of
March and is good healthy baby.
His parentage is unhappy, and 1 can
not keep him with me. know you are
good, kind people and that baby will
be safe in your hands. Give him your
name and raise him as your own child.
Neither his mother or father will ever
bother you or him again"
The letter had been signed, but the
signer had evidently repented imme-
diately and so effectually scratched the
signature out that it was undecipher-
able. Mr.. and Mrs. Finger have not de-
c1ded whether or not they will keep the
little visitor, but as they are childless
and Mrs. Finger has already become
very attached to the baby he will prob
ably remain with them.
The mail at the court house will be
extra heavy this morning, for almost
everybody in the court house wrote
from three to five congratulatory let
tiers to Mr.. Finger and mailed them last
49,
