Fireman at Lumber Plant Dies from
Terrible Burns.
Edward Quinn, fireman at the sash
and door plant of the r. McMillen
Company in Oshkosh, is dead as the re-
suit of being badly burned August
Zuehlke, assistant fireman, is badly
burned about the face but will recover
The accident resulting in the fatality
was the result Z a sudden and pecu-
liar fire at the plant at 2 o'clock in the
morning. just how the blaze original
ed is not known, although it is believ-
ed that lighted lantern caused an
explosion among the sawdust in the
firing room. Quinn and Zuehlke were
feeding sawdust and slabwood into the
furnaces beneath the first and second
boilers. One of them opened door
overhead through which the shaving
vault is reached. Immediately the en-
tire fireroom was filled with flames.
The men rushed through the flames 70
wards the door leading to the engine
ssoom. Zuehlke was the first to get
cut and consequently he was not so
badly burned as his companion. Quinn
had the flesh literally cooked on his
body. The McMillen Company is build
ing large new brick factory and the
fireroom is supposed to be fireproof
structure, and on this account the
flames were prevented from spreading
to other parts of the building.

Possibly since the foundation Of The

so completely idolized by his friends

BLINDED SONG BIRDS.

English Dealers Take Sight from
ChafHnches to Make Them Sing.
The magistrate at Lambath police
court has sentenced Frederick Collins,
a laborer of Sultan street, Chamber
well, to three months hard labor for
cruelty to two chaffinches by binding
them, the London Daily Mail says.
S. G. Polhill, who prosecuted on be-
half Of the Royal Society for the Pre-
yention of Cruelty to Animals, said
that the practice of binding was re-
sorted to because birds so dealt with
were supposed to become better song
sters or warblers. He was sorry TO
say the practice had been going on
for many years, but in such secrecy
that this was the first occasion upon
which the society had been in a posi-
ton TO prosecute. The operation was
carried out with a needle, and was
done skilfully, so as not to burst the
eyeball. The birds adapted themselves
20 their blind state in a wonderful
way. They fed and found their water
and Jumped about the cage.
Arthur Wilmot. one of the society's
inspectors, produced the two blind
birds in court. He purchased them
for l shilling pence from the prison
er at his house, where one room was
full of birds. at least ten of which
were blinded chaffinches The prisoner
said he himself had blinded them, but
that blinded" was a dangerous word
to use because IL he were given
away" 1t would mean three months in
prison for him. He had been at ''the
game" he said, twenty years.
Alexander Pearce, veterinary sur
geon, said that in the birds produced
he came to the conclusion that the
optic nerve and the artery In the
center of that nerve had been severed
by inserting a needle at the bottom
of the eye. This operation paralyzed
the sight and made the bird totally
blind, while leaving the eye TO the
casual observer the same as before
the operation The suffering would be
acute.
The magistrate Ito the prisoner):
You knew what the penalty was. 1t
is three months hard labor.
