Word was received here early in
the week of the death of Mrs. w.
G. Culhane at Minneapolis. We are
unable to get the full particulars, but
| Mrs Culhane had been in the hospi-
tai for some weeks and apparently
was improving. Mr.. Culhane had
started for a trip out of the city and
was summoned to return as she had
suddenly passed away. The remains
were brought to Elkton and the funer-
al will be held today with the usual
religious rites OF the Catholic church.
Mr.. Culhane is a brother of M. E.
Culhane of this city and both were
well and favorably known both here
and at Elkton. Their many friends will
learn of her death with extreme sor-
row for the husband and father
Fire of rather dangerous nature oc-
Cured at the home of H. II. MATHS,
118 Fifth avenue south, on Wednes
day morning about o'clock. The
fire originated when the two-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. MATHS poured
nearly a gallon of kerosene into the
coal hod and Mrs. Maths, in replen-
ishing the fire, picked up the coal hod
and was in the act Of adding more
coal when the explosion took place,
blowing the covers from the stove
and igniting the dress of Mrs. Maths.
The daughter who was near, imme-
diately threw heavy blanket about
Mrs. Maths and J. F. Brooke who was
also present at the time, removed
his overcoat and wrapped it around
Mrs. Maths and the fire was soon ex
tinguished and prevented what might
have been a very serious burn.
