ural Gas Escaping into the Dining
Room from the Collar, a Waitress
. tepped on a Match, and the Fatal
Flare-up Followed.
Pittsburg. Pa., Jan. 18.-A special
-om Findlay, Ohio, says: ‘The first great
ieuter Findlay has ever experienced from
je use of natural gas occurred shortly be
3re 2 o'clock this afternoon, while the guests
f the Hotel Marvin were waiting to be
tmmoaed to dinner. This morning
was discovered that ga3 was escaping
rom a leaking pipe somewhere into the
:uing room, and Mr. Marvin, the owuer
f the building, with three plumbers, spent
he entire forenoon trying to locate the
;ak.
A GIRL CAUSES AN EXPLOSION.
“About ID o'clock they entered the chain -
8 r underneath the and ning-room and found
a-h an accumulation of gas that they
,uld not breathe, and it was suggested that
hole be sawed through the floor into tho
inz-room, in ordar to obtain fresh air.
Tjis®was done, and just as the hole
■as made, one of the dming-room girls, who
as sweeping the floor, stepped upon a
,atch and in an instant an explosion oc
urml’ which not only wrecked the build
,g but killed two girls and maimed and
ijured a dozen other employes.
FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION.
“The force of the explosion was so great
at it blew out the flame cf the ignited gas,
id no fire broke out in the awfui ruin
hich the shock caused. The whole city
as r eked as if by an earthquake by tbe
.ncussion, and all the windows in the
uare were demolished, while the wreck of
e hotel building is all but complete, the
ly rooms in tho hou-e escaping des;ruo
>n being tho parlors and the
ice. Had the explosion occurred
i minutes later, the loss of life would
ve been frightful, as nearly a hundred
ople were waiting in their rooms to be

t his way to make this announcement
nen the explosion occurred, and he was
eight in the falliug debris and painfully

‘ Anson Marvin, owner of the building,
who, with the plumbers, was under tbe
dinng room floor when tbe explosion
occurred, is probably fatally injured, as a
great deal of flame from the gas was.iuhaled
by him.
“Five others wore injured, but will re

KNIGHT TEMPLAR CHIVALRY.
Members of a Commandory Bravo the
Knife to Save a Comrade.
Chicago, Jan. 18.—One of the most
unique surgical operations on record was
performed in this city to-day, and IS2
Knights Templar gave to the world a nota
ble example of fraternal love and self-sacri
fice,made in order that a sick brother might
be restored to health. These knights each
suffered the loss of a piece of outicle, which
was transferred to Sir Knight John Dick
erson.
TO FILL A SOLE LEFT BT A CANCER.
A cancer which had attacked his thigh
was removed some time ago, but
so deep and wide an incision had
to be made in the flesh that
nature was unable to the task of healing
over the gaping wound. The experiment
was tried of engrafting the skin of some of
the lower animals, but it failed. The sur
geon in charge announced to Mr. Dicker
son's anxious brethren that if human skin
could he obtained it would, in all proba
bility, save the patient’s life and insure his
complete recovery.
THE KNIGHTS TO THE RESCUE.
Tbe question was where to obtain suffi
cient skin to cover 1-14 square inches of sur
■ ace. The matter was broached in the
comtnandery, and to a man the Knights
ottered to submit themselves to the nece:-
eary operation.

ALL QUIET AT PINE RIDGE
Th Indians Slowly Turning In Their
Arms.
Chicago, Jan. 18.— Capt. Huggins, at
army headquarters, to-night reoeived a tel
egram from Lieut. Maus of Gen. Miles'
staff, sayine that all was quiet to-night and
that the Indians appear to be under perfect
control.
This morning about a dozen more arms
were turned in to Capt. Pierce by the hos
tiles. They informed him that a sys
tematic search was being made in
their tepeos for weapons, and that
those found would be turned over
to-morrow. The exact number of
guns surrendered cannot be ascertained
from the custodian. Last night thirteen
snots were tired into the Indian aamp,
though nobody was hurt. To-day the In
dians are morose and gloomy.
CHANGES OF THE COMMANDS.
Each of the commands is shortly expected
to be relieved, and considerable in
terest is being displayed to ascertain
which of them will remain on the ground
during the winter. The Sixteenth infantry
of Fort Douglass and the Twenty-first in
fantry of Fort Snyder, now doing duty at
Rosebud and various other points distant
from here, leave for their respective posts
to-night.
It is rumored that four companies of the
Second infantry from Omaha, under Gen.
Wheaton, will remain during the winter,
and that the other companies will return
home. Gen. Miles expects to leave for the
east next week, and Gen. Brooke will
assume commsnctof the forces which may
remain in the field. ,
SEPARATION OF THE TRIBES.
The general is experiencing some opposi
tion in Washington to his policy of segre
gating the several Indian tribes. Notwith
standing that the Indians had started back
to Tongue river, the tribe is still detained
outside the breastworks awaiting
permission from the Interior department to
move. The general proposed to send back
to their respective agencies all the Indians
that do not belong to this place, his theory
being that thus peace may be
preserved. The opposition from Wash
ington has caused him considerable annoy
ance.

A IIOJUE RED WITH BLOOD
A DRUNKEN JUDGE SHOOTS HIS
SON-IN-LAW DEAD.
The Slayer Wounded in Two Places
and Apt to Die—The Dead Man’s
Wife Wounded and Found With Her
Arms Twined About Her Husband’s
Corpse.
Chattanooga, Tbnn., Jan. 16.—A hor
rible tragedy occurred here to-day. 3. M.
Fuegett, cashier of the South Chattanooga
Savings Bank, was shot And killed by bis
father-in-law, Judge J. A. Warder, who is
city attorney of Chattanooga.
Judge Warder is shot in two places. One
ball penetrated his breast at the right
nipple and tbe other took off the index
finger of the left hand. Mrs. Fuegett is the
only child of Judge Warder, and is shot in
the right thigh—a very dangerous wound.
RUM AT THE BOTTOM OF IT.
From the evidence at the coroner’s in
quest it appears that Judge Warder came
home at 1 o’clock in a very drunken con
dition, and immediately went to Mr. and
Mrs. Fuegett’s room, where the shooting
took place as soon as be entered. Mr. and
Mrs. Fuegett lived with Judge and Mr*.
Warder, on College street. There were
seven shots fired, five by Judge Warder and
two by Mr. Fuegett. It is said that Mrs.
Fuegett was tbe first person shot, and Mr.
Fuegett than fell dead, shot through tbe
heart.
HER ARMS AROUND HIS CORPSE.
Ho was found with a newspaper in one
hand and a pistol with two chambers
empty in the other. Mrs. Fuegett was
lying over him, with her arms entwining
him, piteously crying for someone to save
him. Judge Warder staggered to a neigh
bor’s house, and is now there in a precarious
oondibon.
Mrs. Fuegett is unable to speak, and
what took place in the room aside from the
shooting is not yet known.
THE STORY BEFORE THE JURY.
From the evidence before the coroner’s
jury it appears that Judge Warder fre
quently would come home drunk and abuse
his wife and daughter, and the women wonld
appeal for protection to Mr. Fuegett. Some
trouble occurred late Saturday night,
and Mr. Fuegett quitted his father-in-law.
Mr. and Mrs. Fuegett have been married
but two years. They have been living hap
pily together, and have a 5-months-old
baby. Sir. Fuegett was about 80 years of
age, a popular and successful business man.
Mrs. Fuegett is a very handsome woman.
warder’s record.
Judge Warder is one of the best known
lawyers in this state. For six years ho was
United States district attorney for the Mid
ale district of Tennessee, appointed by Pres
ident Hayes. He was a brave and gallaut
union soldier, and is one of the most prom
inent republican politicians in the state.
He owns co’eiderabie property, and
has a large and lucrative
practice in this city. ,He is a man of the
highest culture and most polished and
affable manners, His domestic affairs were
aiways supposed to have been happy. The
affair created a great sensation here, and
tho opinion seems to be general that it was
tbe result of a crazy druuk.

was arrested by fifteen or twenty negroes,
who are bolding him until the sheriff ar
rives from Waynesboro. They aay they
will kill him before he shall get away.
From all accounts it wus a oowardly mur
der. Frazier was a good, hard working
negro.

sh.tod to him, he said be had done his
part toward the solution uf the
Iri h problem when he had a con
ference with Mr. O’Brien, and the
subsoquent delay iu arriviug at a settle
ment of the difficulty was entirely tbe
fault of others. He had made up his own
mind on the subject within twenty-four
hours after the first interview with
Mr. O’Brien. He was ignorant
as to what action his iremb
ling and vacillating opponents had
decided upon, but if no solution was found,
the fault would not be his. In an lu ter view

FORCE BILL MEN BALLY.
SILVER MEN MAY B 8 WHIPPED
IN O PASSING IT.
Reed Won’t Let the Free Coinage Bill
Get Out of Committee Till the Force
Bill is Acted On Many Senators
Supporting tho Obnoxious BiU,
Though Aware of the Popular Oppo
sition.
Washington, Jan. IS.—S;ieuker Reed
made one of his very infrequent visits to
the Senate chamber yesterday afternoon to
find out the situation of affaire. He talked
with Senator Spooner, at the representative
of tho force bill meu, and with
Senator Wolcott, as the repre
sentative of tbe anti-force bill men. He
learned that the situatiou was practically
unchanged and that he would have to wait
awhile, lor the force bill. The story that
he made a bargain witn the silver
senators to let the free coinage
bill go to the President if they would let the
force bill go through the Senate is most
positively denied. Speaker Retd to and Sen
ator Woloott frankly that he was opposed
to the free coinage bill, and would do what
he could to stop Its career.
THE COINAGE BILL TO ME HELD BACK.
It is oertaiu that nothing will lie done
with the free coinage bill for the present,
however, ond that it the silter senators do
not vote for the force bill meanwhile
they will find It very difficult
to get the free coinage bill
througa the House. Tbif probability is
being pressed upon their attention by tho
force bill meu as a warning, If not as a
threat, and it is expected to Influence some
of them, at least, to put no obstacle in the
way of the furoo bill. They are opposed to
tbe force bill, as a rule, but they care more
for the success of the free ooiuage bill than
they do for the defeat of tho force bill.
This is the weakest point in tbe autl-forco
bill lines.
NOT WANTED BV THE PEOPLE.
Senator Woloott is quoted as saying: “If
tho elections hill could be submitted to the
people for approval to-morrow it would be
overwhelmed by a largo adverse majority
in every state iu the United States. - Ths
oeoplo do not want it. It is pressed only
by the politicians. Every republican sen
ator knows this, and many of them, evee
while they are supporting the elections bill,
have to admit it"
A GOOD ILLUSTRATION.
The curious position of some of the re
publican senators on the foroe bill question
is well shown by a recent act of the Miobi
gau senators. Senator* McMillan and
Htockbridge have steadily voted with Sena
tors Hoar and Spooner on all force bill
questions, yet both believe that the people
of Michigan are opposed to the foroo bill,
as they themselves ure. They have voted
for it because the Michigan lepublican ma
chine politicians have urged them to do sc.
However this has not prevented
them from helping Editor Dee, who has
been hammering the force bill iu tho Detroit
Tribune, the republican organ of Detroit,
with the full understanding that It shall
fight the foroo bill, while still remaining a
stalwart republic in organ. If they cannot
speak for themselves in the Senate, tbe
Tribune will speak for them in Detroit.
HOAR SMOTHERING qUAY’B BILL.
Senator Quay is getting restive under
Senator Hoar’s delay in reporting Senator
Quay’s substitute for Senator Hoar’s force
bill. He says Senator Hoar does not seem
to like his substitute. He understo and tbat
Senator Hoar had promiaed to report the
substitute tiefore this. As it is, Senator
Hoar seems disposed to keep it in his com
mittee until it will be too lace to act upon
it in the Senate. Senator Quay
may take him to task for
seeking to smother it. If he should do so in

THIS WEEK INT CONGRESS.
Tiie Cloture Rule the Sensation Before
the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 18.— The elections bill
will come up before the Senate to-morrow
again os unfinished business. How long it
will remain bo is largely a matter of con
jecturo, at best. Heal progress was made
with the bill Saturday, but it was the belief
among the fritnds of the bill that the minor
ity permitted th:s in order to weaken
the argument that might be advanced
in support of the cloture rule, while reserv
ing sufficient material and resources to
protract th* debate on it f r an indefinite
period of time. The course of business will
depend altogether, it is felt, upon the at
tendance. If the expected republican
quorum ia apparent, the next move will be
to consider the Aldrich cloture resolution,
for the managers of the bill
believe that the time 1# at hand
wheu the last doubt as to the efficacy
of the old method of “silting out” a measure
must have been removed. Senator Aldrich
has given notice of bis intention of oalliug
up tnis resolution Tuesday. EfTor sto lay
aside the elections bid will doubtlsss be re
newed, but, should they fail, cloture prom
ises to be a feature of the proceedings of the
Senate during the week.
In the House.
The proceedings in the House during the
week will De governed, in a large measure,
by the progress of the Senate with the elec
tions bill, the purpose of the demo
crats manifestly being to delay b-.si
nesi os long as this measure remains
pending in the Senate. The Senate pro
ceedings will therefore furnish tha motive
power tor whatever scene-shifting takes
place In the House. The district appropria
tion bill has the right of way and the
present indications are that it will make no
more rapid progiess this week than during
last.
Other appropriation bills are treading on
the heelsor'the district bill, ready for con
sideration as soon as the departing shadow
of the bill now before the House points the
way. To-morrow, under the rules, will be
committee suspension day, and the post
office oommitieo wish to pass the bill to re
classify tbo railway rostal service, but the
outlook is not promising. The shipping bill
and bills for private relief are possibilities,
though not probabilities, for action during
the week.
THE SILVER BILL.
The principal interest, is centered in the
proceedings of the House committee to
which the free coinage silver bill hi*
been referred The fate of the bill (depends
largely upon its action, as the oomoiitteo
practically has the power to shelve it and
thus render action by the House almost, if
not quite, impossible. For this reason the
proce dings of the coaunlttos will LefoN
lowed with the liveliest interest.
Its first meeting of the week will occur
Wednesday, when Mr. Leech, director of
the mint, is expected to be present and give
his views with regard to the effect of silver
legislation. It is the understanding that no
attempt will be made to order a report on
the bill at thil meeting of the committee, so
that at the very earliest the silver bill i not
likely to engage the attention of the House
until the following week.

BURGEON HAMILTON'.* REPORT.
The Sanitary Condition of the Country
B xeellent.
Washington", Jan. la— Dr. John B.
Hamilton, supervising surgeon general of
the marine hospital service, has oompJeted
his report to the Secretary of the Treasury,
showing tbs operations of the icrvion for the
fiscal year ended June !JO, 1890.
The report shows that In the ninetaen
UDite.l States marine hospitals proper aud
at 100 other and smaller stations, at whioh
hospiial relief is furnished,there were treat
ed during the year 50,671 sailors.
During the quarantine season, from July
1,1559, to Oct. 15, 1890, there were 2,121
vessels spoken, examined or treated at the
eight national quarantine stations.
KEEPING OUT LEPROSY.
In acco dince with the recoinmendations
of tho American Public liaaltu Association,
a circular having for its object the pre
vention of the introduction of leprosy into
the United Htat'w his lienn issued. It re
quires all vessels to produce a certificate
from the proper officer showing freedom
from this disease before being permitted to
make entry.
A notable event in the history of sanitary
legislation, says the report, was the passage
by congress of tbs interstate quarantine
law, approved March 28, 1890, which glviw
the supervising surgson general of
the marine hospital service author
ity to prepare rules and regulations
necessary to prevent the spread of oholera,
yellow fever, smallpox, or the plague from
one state to another.' No action has yet
been required order the law, but, should a
serious epidemic occur, its existence will
simplify the management of the epidemic
and prevent complications heretofore en
countered.
NO EPIDEMIC OF FEVER.
No epidemic of yellow feror has been re
ported, but the surgeon general states the
United States will be a gainer, even in a
pecuniary sense, if it were to donate to the
Cuban government sufficient funds to make
Havana a healthy seaport. Yellow fever
is almost always present in Havana and
Itio Janeiro, and those cities could bo made
healthy if proper measures were taken.
They are a standing menace to the health
of the United S atos.
DOWN ON THBILVa*I BILL.
Speaker Heed Will Fight Its Progress
In the Houee.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The Post print*
the following: “Time will develop that
Speaker Heed, both os a member of the
committee on rules and as presiding officer
of the House, will lose no opportunity to
oppose the silver men in their attempt to
get the silver bill before that. body. A ma
jority of the committtee will stand by the
speaker, and unless the silver men
stand by each other the bill will have no
show in this congress. (Should the bill pass
the House the Post feels justified in saying
that it will meet with an empnatio
veto by the President; giviug
his reasons why such financial
legislation does not meet his approval.
While tbs President is strongly in favor of
the elections bill, and may have received a
direct promise from the advocates of the
free coinage bill that they will pass the
former if ibe latter can become a law. He
cannot by that method be brought to sign
tbe free coinago bill.”

A BIBLICAL INVITATION;
TALMAGE MAKES THE WORD
"COME" HIS SUBJECT.
It to Found In the Scriptures 679
Time*— Imperial, Tender and All
Persuasive -The Great Word Li kened
to a Mighty Ocean -Thing* That
"Come" Must Conquer..
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 18-—Dr. Taira age
preached the following sermon this morn
ing to an overfl'wing congregation in the
Academy of Music, this city. At night,
when the Chrietiaa Herald service was
bald in the New York Academy of Music,
fully 6,000 persons were massed in the large
building. A marked solemnity pervaded
the assembly, and at its close many persons
in various parts of the house roae, at the ins
vitation of the preacher, to ask for prayers
for their salvation. Dr. Talmage chose
the following texts for his serin in: “Come, 1 *
Gen. vi., 18; ‘‘Come,” Rev. xxii., 17.
Imperial, tender ar.d oil-persuasive is tbie
word “Come.” Six hundred and seventy
eight times it is found in the suripturos. It
stands at the fr nt gate of the Bible as in
my first text, inviting antediluvians into
Noah’s ark, and it stand* at the other gate
of tba Bible as in my second text, inviting
the post-diluvians into the ark of a Savior’S
mercy. ‘‘Co na” is ouly a word of four
.latter*, but i. ia the queen of words, and
neai ly the entire nation of Eagi su vi a ibu
larv bow* to its scepter. It is au ocean into
which empty* ten t&ousand rivers of noon
ing. Other words drive, but this beckons.
All mooosof feeling hath that word •'Com*.*
Sometimes it weep* and sometime*
it laughs. Sometimes it prays, somouuiea
it t*mpts, and sometimes it d-stroyi I*
sounds from the door of the church and
from th* seraglioi of tin, from the gates of
heaven and the gale* of be l. It is conflu
ent and aocreiceut of all power. It is the
heiress of m< s, of the past and the almoner
</f most of the future. “ComeF’ Yog
may pronounce it so that all the heaven*
will be beard In iia oadencs, or prouounog
it so that all tha wo** of time and eter lit*
shall reverberate in ita one syllable. It la

mightiest of all soUcitauts either for goud
or bail.
Ti -day I weigh anchor, aud haul in tha
planks, and set sail on that great word, al
though 1 am sure I will not be able to reach
the further abore. I will let down thg
fathoming Hue into the sou and try (9
measure its depths, and, though I tie to
gather ell the cables and cordage I have oa
card, I will not bo able to touch bottom.
All the power of the Christian religion is
in that word —‘'Come.” Ibe dictatorial
aud com mandatory in religion are of net
avail. The imperative mood is not the ap
propriate uukkl when we would have peal
pie savingly impressed. They may bo
coaxed, but they canuot be driven. Our
hearts are like our homes; at a friendly
knock the door will be opened, but
an attempt to forco open our doo*
would land the assailant in prison. Ou*
theological seminaries, which keep young
men throe years m their curriculum Defer#
launching them iuto the ministry, will and
well if in so short a time they can teach tbJ
candidates for the holy offleo how to say
with right emphasis and intonation and
power that one word—"Como!” That man
who has suoh efficiency in Christian work,
and that wouiau who has such {tower t >
persuade people to quit tb* wrong aud be
fpu the right, went through a series o£
oaten, bereavements, persecutions, ami the
trials of twenty or thirty years beforo they
could make it a triumpn of graan every
time they uttered the word “Come."
You must remember that in many case*
our “Com*” has a mightier “Com*” to con
quor before it has any effect at all. Just
give me the acourats ceisas, the statistics,
of how many are down in fraud, in drunkJ
euness, in gambling, In impurity, or ii vie*
of any sort, and 1 will give you the accural*
census or statistics of how many hive beer*
slain by the word ••Come.” "Come and
click wine gasses with mo at this ivory bar, 1 *
“Come aud see whc we can win at thi*
gaming table. ” “ Jorae, enter with me tbli
doubtful speculation.” **Cine vith me aud

“Come with ine to a place of had amuse

through underground New York.” 1C
la this city there are twenty thou*

aoter, then twenty thousand fell under tbs
power of the word “coia.” I was reading
of a wife whose husband had been over
thrown by strong drink, aud she went ta
the saloon where he was ruined, and *b<*
said: "Give in# back my husband.” And
the bartender, poiuting to a maudlin and
battered man drowsing in the corner ef tba
barroom, said: “There he is; Jim, woke
up; hare’s your wife com# for you.” And
the woman sni 1: “Do you call that iny
husband! What have you been doing wFbi
him! Is that the manly brow 1 Is that tbol
clear eye! Is that the noble heart that b
marriwll What vile drug have you givsixi
biin that has turned him into a fiend!
Toko your tiger claws off of him. Uncoil |
those serpeut folds of evil habit that art*
crusiiing him. Give me book my husband,
the one with whom I stood at the attar Uni
years ago. Give him back to me.” Vic
tim waa ba, as millions of other* have beouf
of th* word ‘'comel 11
Now ws want all tha world over to hare
ness this word for good, as other* have UarJ
nesssd it for evil, and it will draw the tlvsJ
continents and tbs svas between them, yea.
it will draw tbe whole earth back to tud
God from whom it bat wandered. It id
that wooing and persuasive word that wHI
lead meu to give up their sins. Was skep’iJ
cism ever brought into love of the truth byj
an ebullition of hot words against infidelity I
Was ever the blasphemer stopped in hi*
oaths by denunciation of blasphemy! Was
ever a drunkard weaned from his cupi by
tbe temperance lecturer’s mimicry of stag
gering step and hiccough! No. It was:
“Come with me to church to-day and hear
our singing;" “Come and let me introduoa
you to a Christian man whom you will id
sure to admire;” “Come with me into asso
ciations that are cheerful and good and in
spiring ;" “Come with me into joy such as
you never before experienced.”
With that word which has done so much
for others, I approacn you to-day. Are you
all right with God! “No,” you say, “I
think uot; lam sometime! alarmed when I
think of him; I fear I will not be ready to
meet him in the last day; my heart is not
right with God.” Come, then, and have it
made right Through the Chr st who died
fcosaveyou. come! What is the use in
waiting! The longer you wait, the farther
off you are, and tbe deeper you are down.
Strike out for heaven 1 You remember that
a few years ago a steamer
called tbe Princess Alice, with a crowd
of excursionists aboard, sank in
tbe Thames, and there was an awful sacri
fice of life. A boatman from the
put out for the rescue, and be bad a big

oars to pull for the shore, leaving hundreds
helpless and drowning, be oriel out: "Oh,

am not thus limited, and that I can promise
room for all in tbe gospol boat. Get ia;
