A flood of molasses swept down several streets leading from a storage warehouse at New Orleans when a large tank containing about a million gallons of the Louisiana product burst with a tremendous report here today. A stream 15 inches deep, made its way down Market street for nearly a mile. The explosion brought crowds to the scene and thrifty residents secured a year’s supply by merely ( scooping up the syrup with buckets. The explosion was caused by a wall supporting fire similar tanks crumbling beneath the tremendous weight, i The flood of the molasses was so swift that two boilers, weighing 15 tons, • near the warehouse, were swept iron: : their 'foundations and carried across the sfeW. The loss is estimated V | $50,000.

ABOUT "VIC’S" STANDING. Fort Wayne merchants have been receiving word from the Toledo business men inquiring as to the financial standing and reputation of Vic Calderwood, who recently moved her steps to that city and who now wishes to open a similar establishment tbere. Since ' her departure front Fort Wayne, the ■ people were glad to forget her, and the 1 answers to the questions still re- j main to be supplied. The Ft. Wayne News gives the following: "Toledo is to have a Calderwood ho- j tel and saloon, presumably patterned after the notorious local establish, ment. Mrs. Vic Calderwood, whose Ft. Wayne institution was recently closed. ' has migrated to the Ohio city and is , now preparing to embark in business . there. i “Local mercantile agencies have re-; I r eived I equests from Toledo mer-i ' chants for reports on the character ' and financial standing of Vic while 1 she was in this city. All of the agen-. ■ cies have replied by giving full de j tails of Mrs. Calderwood’s experiences ' and troubles while riding the stormy ■ seas of Fort Wayne. ‘ The Fort Wayne police and other, i i interested parties had lost all track ' of Vic since her sudden departure | [ from Fort Wayne. From the fact that Vic is endeavoring to secure credit from Toledo merchants for the pur- , pose of starting in business, it is pre sumed that she has but little ready I cash, or that is she is still the posl sessor of considerable coin she does not care to pul her own money into : the venture." MENTZER’S NARROW ESCAPE. In a bad fire which Sunday destroyed the Henry Workman frame building on West Market street, Bluffton, occupied by the R. B. Clear feed store and grocery, Erman Mentzer, formerly of this city, had a narrow escape frotr suffocation, iyarding which tne Bluffton News says: “During the fighting of the fire Fireman Erman Mentzer had a narrow escape from suffocation in the rear oi the Clear building. He had gone in througi: the smoke to get a bette' shot at the flames, and became utter- ’ ly cut off by the heavy smoke and it enveloped him so that his lungs filled and he fell to the floor. “Bummer' Stout and a street car man discovered i him on the floor and dragged him to ■ the open air. He was taken to Dr. McKinney's office and became violently sick for a time. In falling he had cut one of his hands severely, it is > supposed, on broken glass, and the : doctor had to sew up the wound. Mr. t Mentzer is unable to be at work to- ■ day." Charles Mumma was a Fort Wayne . visitor this afternoon. . Aunice Wilder and George Simmei s attended the Fort Wayne fair today. J. R. Graber of the south part oi I the county was here today on busi ness. Homer Stewart of Fort Wayne vis . ited with his brother, John, and family 1 a short time today.
