New York, April 6.-With roar
and succession &C explosions which
resembled a cannonade, gasoline
fumes in sewers for more than six
city blocks in the vicinity of 51st
street and Ninth Avenue, blew more
than score of manhole covers into
the air this afternoon, causing the
injury of half dozen persons, tear
ing up streets and doing damage to
property estimated at $4,000.
Dozens of windows were blown out
by the concussion. Men and women
were thrown to the ground and ten
ants in the apartment houses and
stores of the district rushed to the
street in terror. 1t was the second
time within a few weeks that the dis.
trict had this experience.
For half an hour after the explosion
occurred the neighborhood was in a
state of alarm. Women rushed
around the streets with children in
their arms, crying HISTORICALLY, and
several labored under the apprehen-
sion that an earthquake had taken
place.

It Is probable that there will never
be another occupant of the little
stand at the corner Of Eighth and Main
streets, which was the establishment
OF Charles Hammond. better known as
Pop Corn Charley" Hammond
was allowed to do business at the
stand because of the sympathy felt
for him by Lee Kelley. one OF the
owners of the Union National Bank
block Many people for a long time
past have regarded the stand as null
sance and unfair to the merchants on
Main street, but 1T was tolerated out
of pity for it's crippled proprietor.
Hammond is still confined at the coun-
ty jail, having been unable to secure
bail or to obtain the services OF law
yer to defend him.

Pretty Olive Lehman, Aged

DEATH OF cHllD'S PARENT At
AN EARLY AGE MADE " NEcES.
sARY FOR HER TO EARN OWN

Olive Lehman, aged 15 years, COM
mitted suicide last evening a little
after Z o'clock, by taking carbolic
acid. The girl took her life at the
home OF her brother-in-law, Ed Burns.
634 North Tenth street, where she has
been living for the past few weeks.
The reason for the rash act Is not
definitely known. Coroner Markley
asserted no motive could be establish
ed excepting despondency.
Last evening shortly after supper.
the Lehman girl told her sister, Mrs.
Burns, that she did not feel well and
intended to go to bed. Mrs. Burns
said good night" About o'clock
Mrs. Burns entered her sisters bed
room, which is in the front room on
the ground floor. AS she opened the
door she smelled the fumes of car
bolic acid and called to Olive. The
girl answered Il have taken poi
son." and then lapsed into a comatose
state.
Tried to Save Her Life.
Mr.. Burns was out of the house at
this time, but he arrived a few minutes
later and at once summoned DR.. Mot
tier and Coroner Markley. The two
physicians worked with the young wo-
man until about 7:30 o'clock, but their
efforts were unavailing. 1t was
found that she had taken a little over
a half ounce Of carbolic acid. A
search was made for some note that
the girl might have left, assigning the
reason for her act, but none was found.
Miss Lehman was the daughter OF
John Lehman OF New Paris. o., civil
war veteran. For the past two years
she had divided her time between
New Paris and this city. She was OF

mother died and she has been obliged
to make her own living for the past
| few years by working In various ca
pacities~ She had frequently brooded
over this and 1t is believed by Coro-
ner Markley that this prompted her to
end her, life. Yesterday afternoon
Miss Lehman hired a livery rig and
took her sister. Mrs. Burns. out riding.
She appeared to be In good spirits.

Methodists of North Indiana
Conference Will Accept
Free Entertainment.
ADMIT NEW MINISTERS
REV. MILTON MAHiN FORMERLY
OF RICHMOND ATTENDING
CONFERENCE AND ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION..
Palladium SpeciaI.l


Alexandria. Ind, April 6.-Old fash
ioned Methodist hospitality had Sc
rious clash with a new spirit of indie
pendence that developed among the
Methodist ministers shortly after the
opening of today's session of the
North Indiana conference, and hospi-
tality had to hustle to maintain it's
reputation as producer OF fried
chicken and other viands that make
profession.
For years it has been the custom
for Methodist laymen to entertain the
ministers of the North Indiana con-
ference free of charge when they as
sembled in conference. Yesterday a
committee composed of the presiding
elders drafted a resolution declaring
that the regime of free entertain
ment at the tables of the Pensioners
must go.
The resolution provided that the
ministers attending the conference
hereafter would accept only lodgings
and breakfast free of charge from
people at whose homes they were en-
tertained, and pay for dinner and
supper.
The subject called forth much dis
cussion.
Bishop Warren finally put the Ques
tion to a vote to decide whether the
resolution should be tabled or not 1t
was tabled by a vote OF, LOG to 81. and
hn oicfa of hn "a
Conference will continue to accept
entertainment free while in cities
where conferences are held.
Admitted to Ministry.
The most important feature of to-
days conference business was the &C.
ceptance into full relation of a class
of applicants for admission to the
ministry. They are men who have
been on ministerial probation for two
years, and have completed the course
or study fixed by the church. 1t is a
ceremony of unusual interest in that
but two questions are asked by the
bishop presiding. They have had to
face the ecclesiastical body in previ
Gus years, and now before graduation
| into the ministry they are confronted
| with these questions:
Have you any debts that will In
any way embarrass your ministry
and do you use tobacco?"
If the candidate for full relation
can answer these questions he has
faced the Methodist conference and
has won. The young men who ans
wered the questions today to the sat
isfaction of the conference were
William c. Assay, Guy c. Woodruff
James c. Graham, w. c. Butts, J. w
Richey, G. w. Martin, w. NJ. Amar
Charles H. Smith, Charles T. Jones
George H. Simons and George w

One interesting feature of the ad
mission of the class was that the old
est minister in the conference, the
Rev. Milton Mahin, of Newcastle, ant
one of the youngest in the conference
the Rev. ]. n. Canse. of Simpson
church, Ft. Wayne. served on the
qualification committee. The Re,

1t is presumed that Detective Grady
will. stop at Mattoon, Ill.,. with Harris
the requisition for Harris being is
sued by the Governor of Illinois there
having been no = sepcific \, charge
against him in this state. Owing to
the fact, however. that Harris :. has
confessed his crime to Supt. Bailey
1t is altogether likely that this confes-
sion will throw some light on the
Macy hog stealing case in which
Locke was the leading light. Under
such circumstances it is possible that
Harris will be brought to Richmond
after a brief sojourn in Illinois for
the purpose of appearing as witness
against Locke. s<-> - -.
Supt. Bailey's message to the Pal.
ladium is significantly silent as to
Locke. indicating thereby that the
Hagerstown man is displaying his
usual stolid demeanor, declining to
talk concerning himself. Before the
journey of $500 miles is completed,
however. Locke may grow tribe
more confidential. though it is safe to
predict that he will not confess his
connection with the numerous crimes
that have been laid at his door.

Louisville, KY, April 6.-The mar
riage Of Miss Love and Charles Cohn
was one of the most unique of it's kind
ever known here. 1t. took place in
Jeffersonville, Ind. in 1898. Until
they decided to be married, neither

phone conversation and a dare were
responsible for the match. Miss Love
whose father was at that time one of
the leading physicians and president
of the Mississippi Valley Medical AS
sociation, had come to Louisville with
her father, who was attending ses-
sion of that body.
She made the acquaintance of
Charles Cohn, son Of the former ed
itor of the AnZeiger. On the day of
the wedding Miss Cohn telephoned to
Mr.. Cohn on some .unimportant mat
ter In some way the subject of mar
riage came up and was discussed over
the wire. On the spur of the nome mt
Mr.. Cohn playfully suggested that they
get married.
"Of course" said Miss Love. Are
you gamer"
. Mr.. Cohn answered that he was. The
trip to Jeffersonville was Immediately
arranged and they were married by a
magistrate upon their arrival there.
They returned to Louisville and
went their different ways. The cou-
Pile never lived together, both realizing
that they had carried the jest too far.
Their families arranged that they
should remain apart year. and that
Miss Love should then sue for divorce.
This was. done and the divorce was
granted, after which Miss Love went
