WOMAN BURNED
BY EXPLOSION

By an oil stove explosion in the East
Second street residence OF Isaiah Par
kison, yesterday afternoon, Mrs Parki-
son, lady between the age of so and
60 years, was severely burned about
the limbs and arms and her condition
is considered critical by her physician,
Dr.. l.. e. Flickinger of Mahoning st.
The Parkison home, at 1919 East
Second street, with the exception of
one room, the parlor, was entirely
gutted by the flames, which were as
sisted in spreading by the spattering of
oil throughout the house from the ex-
plosion.
1t was right after Mrs. Parkison had
filled the kitchen oil stove with the
infiammabe fluid that the explosion
happened. The woman had walked to
another part of the kitchen, but had
her back turned to the stove when the
blast broke the stiffness of the quiet
neighborhood.
S. A. Kieffaber, an employe of the
Arctic Ice Co., who rooms in the house
was in an adjoining room. So quickly
did the fire spread that the kitchen
was enveloped by smoke and fame ere
he reached it, and but a moment or
two was allowed him to secure some
clothing from an upstairs room which
he occupied Mrs. Parkison was taken
Immediately to a neighbor's house,
where medical assistance was given
her. She said afterwards that she did
not know what caused the explosion
and that she was sure she had not
poured gasoline instead of oil into the
stove. The family also used gasolene,
the latter stove being in the kitchen
near the oil stove.
BY the time Fire Chief Mesnar ar
rived along with the other apparatus
smoke was clouding all of the windows
in the house. The flames were burning
furiously in the eastern and back or
northern parts of the house. Some
boys were spraying the adjoining
houses with water from a garden hose
so as to protect them from the heat.
The kitchen where the fire started is
rooted off by itself in the back part of
the residence. Shooting upwards and
through the sitting and dining rooms,
the flames came to the stairs leading to
the second floor. This, with the spread
of OIL added more to the fury of the
flames. Hose was laid into the house
from three different windows. A hole
was also cut into the roof. 1t was not
long until the flames were quenched.
They had brought destruction to every
thing in the residence, however. along
with the water necessary to extinguish
them. Both the house and its contents
were covered by insurance.
Mrs. Parkison was taken by the
Miller-Blanchard ambulance to house
OF a relative after her physician had
attended her. She is severely burned
on both lower limbs from her waist
down, and is also suffering from burns
on her face and one Of her arms.

w. Lawson had so far recovered his
voice that his physician consented tn
his departure this evening to fill his
speaking date at Fairbury, Neb., to.
morrow night.
Mr.. Lawson's throat ailment was
only temporary and was the result of
the strain to which he had subjected
his voice in making three speeches
Friday and Saturday. Following the
advice of Dr. Logan, the Bostonian
spent very quiet day, abstaining
from tobacco and doing very little
talking No visitors were received at

Hospitals Of the City Taxed to the

Sufferers.

New York, July 10.-Twelve dead
and % overcome is the record of to-
day in Greater New York as result
of the hot wave which has been caus.
ing intense suffering to all classes
since yesterday. That the list is not
much large one is due to a storm
which swept over the city soon after
o'clock this afternoon somewhat
cooling the sultry air. This storm was
directly responsible for the loss of one
life and the serious injury of six
men, while the downpour of rain
which accompanied it flooded the
streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn so
tnat wagons were partly submerged,
street cars had their floors awash and
children swan in the cutters. While
the storm was al its height a bolt Of
lightning struck the steam yacht Sem
mole. belonging to j. n. Robbins, ly-
ing OFF South Brooklyn. The foremast
of the Seminole was struck and shat
tered, her woodwork damaged and a
hole torn in her deck. A number of
the crew were slightly shocked. At
almost the same time a bolt of light
ming shattered the fagstaff of Bor
ough Hall, Brooklyn, but no one was
Injured. At Coney Island several of
the resorts were struck by lightning
but the damage was trihing and no
one was hurt.
The fatality due to the storm was
Michael Gannano, boy, who crawled
into a coal carrier in the Interborough
company's powerhouse at 59th street
and North river to escape a wetting.
He was caught in belt and crushed
to death.
The six men who were seriously
hurt were laborers employed on the
new building of the Edison company
at Duane and Elm streets. They had
taken shelter in an excavation and
were buried in the soft mud by a
cave-in of the dirt walls. A fire
company was summoned and the men
were dug out and conveyed to the
Hudson street hospital where it was
stated, that, while they were serious
ly hurt, all will recover. The storm
however, was godsend, inasmuch as
it cooled the air somewhat and made
existence a trifle more bearable.
Up to that time the heat had done
terrible execution. Every hospital in
the greater city had been taxed to
the utmost to aid the sufferers and
the death list was appalling.
OF the 25 persons prostrated on
the streets who were taken to the
hospitals, some are in a. very serious
condition tonight. In addition there
were a number of cases that were at
tended by private physicians, which
were not reported to the police.
The following figures show the rec
ords established by the thermometer
during the day: a. m, rs; 8 a. m,
81; 10 a. M, "a; IL a. m, Sc; IL m
81; / p. m, 80; p. m, 80; p. m,

From that hour the temperature
gradually became cooler, although the
weather bureau declares that it will
be warmer tomorrow.

APPEAL FOR ACTIVITY.
Mission Work Among Indians Dis
cussed by Rev @. W. Currier

Rev. Charles Warren Currier of the Cath
Ollie Indian bureau, former pastor of St.
Mary's Church In this city, made an ear
nest appeal for help for the Indian schools
during the course of his sermon at ST.
Domlnic's Church yesterday Father Currter
only recently resigned from the pastorate
of St Mary's Church to take up the work
among the Indians. He Is thoroughly ia
miliar with their needs and his sermon yes-
terday was devoted to telling the people
those things about the Indian schools which
he thought they should know.
He spoke of the work of the Marouette
League and of what 1t has been doing for
the indian. 1t Is, perhaps, a sad reffec-
ton upon our civilization he said, that
after the soil of the new world has been
drinking in the service of apostles and the
blood or martyrs for four centuries. there
should still be 100000 pagans among the
Indians in the territory of the United States
1t is time that the Catholic people of this
country should awaken to the fact that the
missions among the Indians threaten to he
come stagnant for want of men and lark
of means. Preachers of the Protestant de-
nominations having unlimited resources hack
OF them are everywhere doing their prose-
lytlZlng work, but there are places where
the Catholic Indians are utterly neglected
and where the ministrations of the priest
have not been felt for years. all because
there are not enough missionaries and not
enough money to support them
w lille we are content in serving the
Lord in ease and comfort at home, and
thanking Goa mat we are not like other
men, the missionaries are suffering poyerty
and incredible hardshfps, and children have
begged for bread and there was none to
break 1t to them"
