Mrs, F. w. Carpenter, Harry Der mltt and the porter of a rooming house over Bottoms saloon, were seri- ously burned by gas explosion which occurred under the stairway between Bottoms saloon and Carpenters res taurant yesterday afternoon.
 The porter went under the stairway for the purpose of shutting off the water upstairs He supposed he had turned off the water connection and returned upstairs to see if the water had quit running. II was still running and he secured a lantern to make a closer inspection of the small room under the stairs, As soon as he en- tered the room, deafening explosion occurred The wall was blown out, Mrs. Carpenter and Harry Dermitt were badly burned, and the porter was so badly injured that he was taken to a hospital.
 It is believed that the connection turned on the first visit was the gas connection and that the room filled before the second visit
 Both Mrs. Carpenter and Dermitt suffered severe but not serious burns about the hands and face, while the porter was more seriously burned It is not believed, however, that his con dition is serious

LOUDER2

TTOw soon will Colonel Roosevelt capituate?
i l. is the question now disturbing those who
are trying to persuade the former president to
announce that he is in the race for the Republican
nomination for president. 1t is now planned to
have half dozen governors petition the monarch
of Oyster Bay to permit the use of his name.
The Roosevelt men are becoming tribe anxious.
They are shouting for the Colonel, but they want
to know whether their shouting will coltnue
TO fall on deaf cars. 1t is unreasonable to think
that Mr. Roosevelt can hold out much longer al
though he may be getting much pleasure out OF
the mystery he has caused-whether he is really
a candidate or not In all parts OF the country the
discussion is under way. Subscribers to some
newspapers are writing editors, who are often
supposed to know things they do not know, be-
seeching them to tell whether Colonel kooseVelt
will really accept the nomination. There are
svmptoms of sort of Roosevelt hysteria-that
is if the newspapers correctly represent the sltua-
tion.
Colonel W. r. Nelson of the Kansas City Star is
supposed to know a great deal about Colonel
Roosevelt He has been receiving letters from
veteran subscribers who say that Kansas is waiting
the word from Roosevelt Colonel Nelson denies
that he has inside information as to the state OF
mind of the OYSTER Bay Colonel, but in long and
not particularly lucid reply he argues that as
Roosevelt is a patriot, If the sentiment for MN
becomes clamorous enough the former president
cannot resist the call of his country.
The call il seems has not been loud enough TOT
the colonel as yet. But what kind OF noise does
Mr. Roosevelt want?

One OF the men who made the build

Griswold, of Troy, n. Y.
Mr.. Griswold who was a wealthy
iron manufacturer, and who, with two
other citizens Of Troy, introduced the
manufacture Of Bessemer steel in this
country was a strong Union man.
With the outbreak of the civil war he
aided in raising and equipping several
infantry and cavalry regiments-the
cause Of the Union never was refused
when it appealed 20 him to open his
purse strings in its behalf It was his
strong patriotic ardor-his wiling

sonal fortune that the Union might
be saved which caused him to be-

In the building of the Monitor. Had
the Monitor proved a failure, the ex-

AppnINTMENT OF MR.. SWAIN.

NTR. CORNELIUS P. SWAIN, who has been ap-
III pointed United States Marshal for this dis
district, announces that he does not fear in the
slightest any investigation of his character with
reference to politics or to anything else, and he is
prepared TO meet any charges that may be
made against him. This is the proper attitude for
Mr.. Swain to take.
He and his many friends think that he will stand
the test of any investigation that the Senate Com
mittee may make, and those who have known Mr..
Swain in this city we're very much surprised that
charges should be brought against him Their
surprise is all the greater when they read the fol-
lowing from the Sussex Republican, for it is un-
likely that Colonel Houston would have written
the following had he thought Mr. Swain justly lia-
bic to the charges brought against him.
I'VE congratulate Mr.. Cornelius P. Swain upon
his appointment as IT, S. Marshal, for this district.
1t is deserving recognition of an earnest capable
and active Republican Mr.. Swain is one of the
Old Guard, few Of whom remain, who fought for
Republican victory, in this county, when not the
faintest ray of hope could be seen when Democ-
racy had its heel on the neck of Republicans in
this county, and was arrogant and merciess in its
rule. Mr.. Swain is a prominent Methodist and hii
recommendation which was the strongest and most
numerous ever presented in behalf of any asprant
in this State bespeaks Mr.. Swains popularity, and
the general satisfaction with which this appoint
ment will be received"

most unselfish Of men where personal
friendship was concerned, as he un-
questionably was where the cause Of

Almost without his knowledge-cer-

By the Republican party for governor
of New York in 1868. He was at that

On the night of election day word
first came to Mr.. Griswold that he had
been elected. Then there came word

had been held back. A little later word
was sent TO Mr.. Griswold that an un-
usually heavy Democratic majority for

Commenting on Governor Harmon The World
believes that the Ohio executive is regarded by
many persons as the candidate of Wall street, al
though The World does not itself take that view.
Governor Harmon should clearly express himself
on public questions so that the Wall street taint
will be removed from him.
Ii is evident that the two most talked of Demo-
Gratis have their weak points which would operate
against them in the presidential canvass it they
we're nominated according to this Democratic au-
thorty; Wilson, because OF his favorable regard
for BRYAN, and Harmon, because of his alleged
connection with the interests.
Perhaps the New York newspaper has a candi-
date Of its own whom it may spring possibly at
the coming watterson dinner. And may not that
candidate be the Hon. Henry Watterson himself?
Some Of the good friends of Colonel Watterson
down in Kentucky declare that his name will be
presented TO the national convention as the choice
Of Kentucky. Why not Colonel Watterson? Mr..
Thomas F. Ryan would doubtless place his ple-
thoric bank account at the disposal of the Ken

that all the coonels would vote for the dean OF
journalism and Of the large and ever increasing

PAYING A HEAVY PENALTY.

Washington Herald.
The untimely death Of Commander
L. G. Bertolette, of the Yorktown, from
yellow fever at Guayaquil, is part of
the price the United States pays for
the semblance of peace in Latin
America. Commander Bertolette was
in the line Of duty, sent by his coun-
try to protect American interests at
the fever-infested port of Ecuador,
during one of the periodical upheay-
ais, otherwise called a revolution, in
that nation. It is understood that
peace has been patched up between
factions, and that the presence Of the
Yorktown is no longer required in the
port of Guayaquil, but this situation
comes too late TO save American
lives.
1t is inevitable that the United
States and other powers must have
gunboats at the principal ports of
these Latin-American countries when
they are passing through their pecu-
liar political changes. Unfortunately,
at no time in recent years have there
been so many of these disturbances
going on simultaneously, but at
few of the ports-where American
war ships are required-do all the
conditions Of a pesthole prevail to
such an extent as at Guayaquil, where
it appears the most ordinary precau-
tions toward proper sanitation are ig-
nored.

aspirants for the Democratic nomination for

But for Such as He
BY John 5. Hamilton.

At this time we are hearing some
thing about a new force in politics.
What this force is exactly those who
talk about it do not always pretend
to say, but il is apparently consider
ed as variously as there are those
interested. Some look upon it as the
passing hysteria of the moment. the
manifestation of the dissatisfaction of
soreheadsJ and faultfinders who for
the lack of something better to do
and in spite OF the fact that they
live in glass houses. throw verbal
stones at those in authority On the
other hand there are those who re-
gard the new movement as the begin
ming of the long looked for awaken
ing of the public conscience. The
writer i'm this article will not attempt
to say which of these two disputants
he believes to be right, but he will
merely voice If he can in a line or
two the impression the prevailing
fool makes upon him.
II won't do to find fault and sneer
at.a man merely because he is dissat-
ished with prevailing conditions. A
faultfnder is sure to be unpopular
and he is almost invariably a dis
agreeable companion. There Is a
good way to handle him, however
Forget his manner. if you can. and
consider carefully what he is talking
about. You can be sure if he is mere
ly a common scold and there is
neither substance nor force in what
he says. and it appears he is only
animated by a desire to exploit him-
self, that il will be wise to let him go,
IL is only a little while Until he will
be recognized as a nuisance or be r.
garded as a joke If. however he
talks for the good of the mass e.
what he says has truth and force IN
ii, and if when his motives are
analysed you find that he is aiming
at the public good. watch out for him
Won satisfied and contented ones who
believe that things are all right he

No man can tell how far such as
he will 20 and no one can tell where
such as he will stop. He represents
