A few evenings ago, Homer Hill, the colored porter at the Park Hotel was victim of cir cumstances that called for quick explanation. A travelling sales man had given the negro a loaded cigar, and he had placed it in a safe place, in order to enjoy a quiet smoke after his duties were over.

A few minutes la ter there was an explosion at the busy end of the cigar, which came near causing a tragedy. The quick 'splaining power of the porter is all that prevented it.
