Tunnels Of the Lock and the
Exact Details Of the Acct
dent Are Unknown.
PROBABLY STARTED FIRE
Body Removed to undertaker's While
Efforts Arc Made to Commune
cate With His Relatives
In Michigan.

Alone in one OF the conduit tunnels
OF the lock, D. Brown, a pump man,
was fatally burned with gasoline last
evening about $50. While the exact
details of the accident are unknown,
it is believed that he was using gaso-
line to make a fire and thaw out a
pipe and ignited his gasoline supply
with fatal results.
When he was found, his clothing
had been burned from his body. Cor
oner Korschgen was at once notified,
and kilograms were sent in an effort
to communicate with his relatives. He
gave his name when employed as D.
Brown, of Howell, Michigan, and the
authorities there were asked to look
up his family. A telegram was sent
also to girl in Minneapolis whose
address was found in a note book on
the body.
The body was removed to the I'M
dertaker's to await the result of the
efforts to get into communication with
his relatives.

The coroner's Inquest.

An inquest was held this morning
by Coroner Korschgen at which a
number of workmen were called as
witnesses. The principal witnesses
were John Joyce and Roy McQuade.
Brown was working under the SUI
pervision of McQuade who said he
had cautioned him when he came to
work on January 18th, about the
pumps. When he first heard the cry
that the man was on fire he ran out
and found him still alive, lying on
his back with his hands in the air.
He did not know what use he could
have had with s-ssoline except that "
be used on small heater and he said
might men had no instructions to use
lit.
He said that Brown evidently lost
his presence of mind after the explo
/ sion occurred for there was water not
more than one hundred feet away in
which he could have extinguished the
fire. He was found about 1870 feet
from the scene of the explosion. He
said that Brown had run up four
flights of stairs and was probably
making for the machine shop when
! the wind struck him and whipped the
fire in his face and he fell dead.

No odor Of Gasoline.

John Joyce testified that he could
detect no odor of gasoline as did
Marcus Printy. Printy doubted If it
was gasoline but the general supposi-
tion is that the gasoline was In the
can and that he had made fire to
keep the air pipes clear. Printy said
when he heard the cry he ran with a
bucket of water and extinguished the
fire.
The men traced the origin of the
fire from Browns dead body down in
the conduit by the trail of fire he left
as he fled for death and they found
his Jumper at the first flight of stairs.
The coroner's jury reached the rath-
er indefinite verdict that the man

A recent department bulletin re-
ceived BY Postmaster S. w. Moorehead
announces some new features in the
parcel post System that are Of general
interest. Among other things it is
stated that hereafter ordinary post
age stamps must be used in mailing
packages to all foreign points even
though they have domestic postage
rates. This includes Canada, Cuba.
Mexico and the Republic OF Panama.
Packages consigned to possessions OF
the United States, however, should
bear the parcel post stamps for fourth
class matter.
Especial emphasis is laid on the fact
that when 1t is desired to send mer-
chandise under ordinary postage
stamps that the package should be
sealed or otherwise closed against in
spection in order to avoid any con-
fusion in the mails as to proper clas5i-
fcaticn
Other stipllations are to the effect
that seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots
scions and plants, although chargea5le
with the special rate of one cent foI
each two ounces regardless of dis
lance, are fourth class matter and
Postage ON them must be prepared by
parcel pest stamps. Samples OF grain

charseable with the regular fourth
e'ass rates of postage.
Post cards, either blank or bearint
pictures or printing on the message

coVery which the steambe at men
whose interests center at Davenport,
have just made in regard to that great
engineering and water power project I
created at Keokuk.
They find that while the dam will |
create slack and deep water for many
miles up the river, the bill authorizing
the building of the dam confined its
protective provisions for the steam
boat interests to that part of the river
above the dam. Further, while they
found no such rights conveyed by the
original bill, they now find that the
Water Power company has the right
to control the flow Of water below the
dam to a degree, which, they say,
might make steamboating impractic-
able between Keokuk and the mouth
| of the Missouri, almost to st. Louis.
1t is stated that the promoters of
the water power project met with the
objection, when they sought to finance
ilt, that there was not enough water
lin the Mississippi at a low stage to
| furnish 100000 horse power. So the
company secured in some way per-
mission at the time of low water to
close certain wickets at shutdown and
others at later hours, SO that by mid
