OPKHIHG STBKETS.

The law governing the opening of streets has never been thoroughly understood, especially by the commissioners appointed by the ooart to assess damages and benefits. Every set of commissioners that has served in this city has acted npon the assumption that benefits must be aasesaed against the property in the vicinity of the proposed improvement, and they must equal the damages, leaving the city out of all consideration. Section 3166 of the statutes says:

It shall be their duty to examine tho property sought to be appropriated, and to estimate lis value and they shall also view the real estate In the vlelnltv thereof, and eStimate both the Injui'es and benefits thereto. In assessing and awarding damages and benefits, they shall not bo confined to real estateupon or along the line of the proposed change or improvement, but shall estimate benefits and damages to all r«al estate injuriously or beneficially aflfceted*. They shall abo consider and determine what ixirt, if any, of the ej^fcttse of such change or improvement ought to be paid out of the general fund of the cit*

It will thus be seen that the law is just as mandatory that assessments 6hall be made against the city as it is that they shall be made 8gainst private property. There has never been a street opened in the oity but that the tax payers have shared in the general benefits. If property has not been actually benefitted it is wrong for the commissioners to arbitrarily make such assessments. It is in aooord neither with the letter nor the spirit of the law. The law contemplated that justice should be done, even if the city should bear the entire burden.

College will be the scene of

a novel contest this summer. The Cincinnati Tribune says that W. J. Lampton, who seems to be a newspaper man, has presented four medals to be awarded, as the medal states, "To the best all 'round fellow in each class." This award will be made by the joint votes of classmates and faculty. Just what constitutes such a manly man, according to Mr. Lamptoo's idea, is a young man who is honest, sober, industrious, of good Christian character, a lover of manly sports, a fair scholar, and in general just what is known among college boys as "a square fellow." If the faculty and classmates are fortunate enough to select the same men, they will be entitled, without doubt, to the medals. For suoh a man, judged from such different standpoints, must indeed be a royal good fellow. It will be a fortunate thing to have the idea spread. Good all 'round men are more desirable than book worms and cads.

who was appointed

Minister to Denmark by President Cleveland at the instance of his brother-in-law, has had his path strewn with thorns instead of roses ever sinoe his appointment. The latest trouble which has overtaken him is the issuance of a writ restraining him from his contem plated diplomatic trip. The writ under which Mr. Risley is restrained grew out of the Alabama claims. It is stated that he and Joshua M. Spencer, of Indiana, were employed to collect one of those claims, amounting to 32,250,OOQ, their fee to be 10 per cent., or 8225,000 if they won, and they did win. The charge is that Risley kept all the money except $6,000. Had a Republican appointee been guilty of such charges there would have been no end of the howls sent up by the Democratic press.

friends of Judge Jump begin to

realize that his prospects for the Collectorship of this district have bean gieatly endangered by the Terre Haute postof flee episode. The misrepresentations of Senator Voorhees to Postmastergeneral Bissell have not strengthened his influence with that gentleman. The friends of W. F. Hulett look on with an apparent serene indifference.

the question of opening the fair on Sun days has resolved itself into a matter of business purely. The stockholders of the exposition cannot afford to lose the money, and they demand the gptes shall be open on that day so that, if possible, the great exposition may pay expenses.

Men Killed and Two at Geneva, IlL

Hurt

A BIG GLUCOSE FACTORY EXPLODES.

The Bulldlug Wrecked and Seven .of the Employes Are Scalded and Crushed to Death —The Cause a .• ittyatery.

A SAD DISASTER.

GENEVA, 111., May 18.—Seven workmen were instantly killed anil several fillers injured by an explosion early Wednesday afternoon of one of the converters in the factory of the Charles Pope Glucose company. The names of the denil are as follows: Alfred Anderson, scalded Victor Anderson, crushed in falling timber Charles Elm, scalded Andrew Kelborp, scalded Larry Short, crushed Alfred Strom, scalded Gus Johnson, body still in ruins,' Andrew Peterson had his right arm broken and Gus Soderstroni was badly scaklqd, but both will recover.

CihUfte of the Explosion.

The cause of the explosion seems t.o be unknown, beyond the fact that it was one of the converters that blew up in the refinery, which occupied the large end of the structure in the room on the third floor where the converters and filters are located. There is some reason to believe, however, that there WHS a too free use of muriatic acid used in the solution in one of the converters. Alfred Anderson,. the man who had charge of the converter, was the only person who probably could tell what caused the explosion. lie was. no doubt instantly killed. C. E. Pope, the manager of the mill and the son of the president, was in the room where the converters were located and left the building just a moment before the explosion. He says thateverything was all right when he examined the converters and talked with Anderson.

It* Force.

The explosion occurred at 2:15 p. m., when about 100 men of the 150 employed were in the building. It is almost a miracle that more were not killed, and a still greater mystery that only two were injured. The four upper stories of the south half of the structure, which is six stories high, were completely demolished. the great wooden pillars and cross beams being shattered as if a cyclone had given one end of the structure a twist. "The brick walls were blown out the first floor up, and the floors and heavy machinery came to the second floor with a crash. They did not go through the first floor, where the engines are located, excepting at one spot, about 10 feet square. Five freight cars were standing on the sidetrack. These were crushed to the ground. "Workmen Paulc-Strlcken.

The calamity came so suddenly and with such irrisistible force that it was impossible to determine at first how serious it had been. The deafening roar, the dense mass of smoke and dust from the walls that followed directly in its wake and the general expectation that the fire would break out caused a consternation and panic among the men. They dashed wildly about for a means of egress, with the great structure apparently crumbling about their heads.

Sad Scenes.

Wives and members of the families of the workmen who were known to be in tho building were conspicuous in the crowd. The vagueness of the extent of the disaster, coupled with the general belief that all the men had lost their lives, added to their terrors, and their fearful distress was hardly less tragic than the scene of the disaster itself. Their pathetic appeals for help for their beloved ones, in face of the absolute impossibility of any assistance being of any benefit at that time, kept the crowd in a constant agitation.

Recovering the BodiM.

TJnder the direction of Superintendent Qiggins a relief party was soon formed. The unfortunate men tinder the fallen walls and those under the freight cars tvere found to have -been Instantly killed. Victor Anderson, who was unloading. corn from one of the cars, was soon extricated, but life was gone. On the top story, with his head and arm projecting, but lifeless, could be recognized Larry Short lie was taken into a coal office near by, which had been itaade into a temporary morgue. Alfred Anderson, who was the foreman of the filter tanks, and his helper were both hurled out of the building and their bpdies were taken from the car wreckage. Andrew Kelborg was taken out alive, but died within an hour. The flesh dropped from his arms and limbs, scalded by the steam and boiling liquids. On the east wall could be seen pnother unfortunate who was making motions with his hands, hut was dead before the men could reach him.- One man waa blown through a third-story window, but fortunately escaped without serious injury. Frank Rind, who was on the sixth floor, also escaped in some inexplicable way. All the bodies were finally recovered except that of Gns

The Building a Wreck,

The building is a total wreck. It was six stories high, built of brick, and was one of the best equipped factory plants in the northwest, its value being placed at tSOO.OOO. All of the stock of the factory was owned by the Pope family, Charles I. Pope being president, with offices at No. 120 Washington street, Chicago. A huge elevator had just been completed capable of holding 100,000 bushels of corn. This was uninjured. Mr. Pope estimates the loss at about 8150,000.
