John Johns and other relatives Thursday received word from Fostoria, Ohio, stating that a nephew, Edward Johns, a sor. of Jacob Johns, had died suddenly of heart trouble on Tuesday. No particulars were given, only that the funeral was held on Thursday. Mrs. Clem Hake has been removed from St. Joseph’s hospital, where she was operated upon, to her home in East Williams street. Mrs. Hake is improving rapidly.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Mrs. Hake was formerly Miss Clara Meyers, of southwest of the ! city. While in F.oot township one even-; ing this week on a professional cail,! Dr. D. D. Clark had «n exciting ex-1 perience. He was driving and in I some way the lines became crossed I and the horse began to back. The [ rig was upset and Dr. Clark was thrown out, going clear through the I storm curtains. A letter received by Mrs. S. E. Shamp from her husband, who was called to Akron by the serious illness of his sister, Mrs Theresa Baney, of I Fremont, Mich., is to the effect that j rhe is very low. No details are given but it is supposed that the illness was brought on by tumorous growths, with which she had been suffering, when here about three weeks ago. Mr. i Shamp expected to be home today or j ; tomorrow unless her condition took another turn for the worse. J. C. Patterson, local agent for the i I Western Union Telegraph company, 1 ‘ is at a loss as to how to deliver an ' important message, addressed here to ‘ Mrs. Mary Whiffle Ail efforts to locate her have failed, and any informa- | tion as to her whereabouts would be : gladly received. The message seems i to be an important one, coming from the St. Michaels hospital at Toronto. Canada, and stating that Cornelius Bowen, a patient there, is dying. Inquiry from the Bowens here fails to throw any light ’.pon the matter, as they know of no relative by the name of Cornelius IJowen, and it is thought i that the message may have been sent - to the wrong city. 1 With all the trains late, the posti office employes and especially the cairier.fi, suffer great inconvenience. The I lateness of the trains this morning, I J delayed the leaving of the rural car-1 j riers at least a half hour, and the j city carriers correspondingly. To add j to the inconvenience of the rural car i riers, the snow-drifted condition ol i the roads makes their work extreme 1 ..', difficult. In many instances the rn-.-ds I : are almost impassable from the heavy j drifts. One carrier stated th"t the) mail wagon tn one place rode on a ! drift at least two and a half feet; above the level of the road. In other! cases, so heavy are the drifts that the I ' carrier must needs stand on the step I of the wagon, to balance it and keep lit from overturning. In all kinds of ; weather, wet or dry, rainy or snowy, warm or cold, the carriers meet with all kinds of condb'ons that make problems nearly beyond his power of solving. READ THE SUGAR BULLETINS.

RADIATOR BURSTED Sudden Letting in of Hot Steam in Cold Pipes This Morning Blew OUT STEAM VALVE At St. Mary’s Church —Sexton George Deiner Receives Injury. George Deiner, the well known sexton ui the St. Mary's Catholic church.' : mat with a ] ainful accident at <ll I o’clock this morning when making hie I daily rounds, he receiving one fractnr ! | cd rib, while a second was split, and ' i he was otherwise biwised as a result i I of the explosion of a radiator in the | iear of the church. Owing to the ex- ; treme cold weather of the past week j I considerable heavy firing was neces-i ! sary for the keeping of the church ' in a comfortable condition so this I morning, he fired‘accordingly. Leaving the furnace in the church basement he went into the church to see that all radiators were In working order as is his custom. He reached as far as the one stated on the right side entering the front door of the

church. The radiator being cold, at I the sudden turning on of the ’not steam, caused the pipes to expand, which, blowing out the steam valve, and allowing the heated substance to strike his person and escape over the entire church. In trying to remedy this he was overcome by the hot steam and nis left hand, in which he tried to again close off the steam was burned. The noise and disturbance attracted those in the church, who had assembled for the early mass and they went ;to see what had happened. Owing to I the fact that he was overcome by the J steam, he fell upon leaving the church I and again after he had reached the I outside, and on his return to the ; basement. At the latter place he was I picked up and conveyed to the his- ' ters’ home, where a room was provided him and medical attention at. once summoned. He was unconscious for the time being and very nervous from the shock received; while the action of his pulse was also very light an-1 haps fifteen minutes or more were necessary before vitality was brought up to the required standard. As soon as he was somewhat brought to the fractured ribs were placed in their proper place in their proper position, thus allowing him easier breathing, the injured ribs having pressed upon his heart to such !an extent that he could but breathe ; lightly. Whether or not he received tile broken ribs in the fall over the ' church pew or at the fall on the out-; side of the church, is unknown as he was unable to state for himself, but it is believed to have been more likely at the second fall, and the fact that I he fell upon the steam valve which I he still carried in his hand. The es- i taping steam soon filled the entir“ church and water was soon dripping from the surrounding furniture, while the seats were covered with ice. No damage was done to amount to anything, and it was at once attended to. It was not thought that he could be removed to his home today, as there i was danger of cold setting in. which might result in pneumonia.
