Y, Dec. 7. A horrible tragedy occurred here this morning when Phi Si House, one of the fraternity dormitories of Cornell Univer sity was burned to the ground. Six persons were killed in the holocaust. Two students were cremated within the burning building, one met his death by Jumping from an upper window and three volunteer firemen were buried under falling walls. This is one of the most serious accidents that has happened in university circles in many years and such is the excitement among the victims' comrades and fellow students at the university, many of whom had been very intimate with the unfortunates, that study today is practically at a standstill. The origin of the fire is not known. The house cost 12,000,000 and was the finest in the United States. Others are believed to have been burled in the ruins. It's Hard to Escape, When you are little you hare measles and when you grow up you liave seniles. They're all in the course f a lifetime.

ED ALWE Avalanche of Grain Descends Upon Hammond Elevator Workman. Morris Quinn of Kingston, Nnt, who for a year or mure has been employed by the Hammond Elevator company, met death In a peculiar manner this morning. Quinn was buried under 60,000 bushels of grain an 1 up to al ate hous this afternoon, although a gang of men had b'-uii employed for several hours in trying to draw olT the grain, his body had not been recovered. Every effort is being made to get the body as soon as possible, although hope of the victim's life was abandoned rive minutes after the accident. Quinn, In company with Louis Jaeger and Ed Walters , was attempting to draw off the grain from one of the huge bins in the gigantic elevator. The chute through which the grain is pumped, was not feeding as freely as the nif-n thought It should do and one of them went up inside to loosen It up. He accomplished more in this line than he intended, for his efforts caused a veritable landslide to rush downward and Quinn, being directly in the path of the descending grain, wns caught In the avalanche and burled at the bottom of the bin under 6,000 bushels of the closely packed kernels, which covered him to a depth of from six to eight feet. The physician who was called in at once, before it was seen how impossible it would be to rescue the unfortunate man, declared that the life in the latter could not have continued more than five minutes after the accident as the grain Is solid and weighs heavily and he must have smothered speedily. The drawing off of the grain is a slow process and can only be done according to the one method that is always practiced. WENZEL READS HIS OWN OBITUARY. .Mistaken Identity of Man Who Vn. Killed on C J. Track Yesterday Cn uses Mirth. Last night William Wenzel, who was more or less saturated, walked into Xeldow's undertaking establishment to view his own remains and see if he could identify them. He had read in a local paper of his demise and thought it advisable to come around and see about them atter. It Is true that he had been more or less dead drunk for some time, but that his spirit had not departed the mortal flesh was equally certain. The item Mr. Wenzel read which affected him so morbidly was as follows: "A shocking railroad accident took placi here today which cost Wm. Wenzel his life. Mr. Wenzel Is a carpenter and was going to do some work near the C. J. round house and the Hammond Glue works factory. A freight train, which was switching in the yards backed in on him as he was walking along the track, knocked him down and killed him instantly. His head was almost severed from his body. His body was dragged for two cars lengths under the train. Mr. Wenzel is a member of the carpenters" union and is about 50 years old. The decedent was highly respected. The remains were brought to JCeidow's morgue in his ambulance." The statement that "the decedent was highly respected" should have been as flattering unction to his soul, but It was not. Indeed, the supposedly dead one proceeded to raise such cain about the report that Undertaker Neidow was forced to gently but firmly put him out. While Wenzel was protesting that he was not dead in the undertaking shop, his relatives, some of whom live in 6y Sibley street, were dropping a few tears In fond remembrance, between discussions as to what use they would make of the alleged deceased's $1,000 life insurance policy and his $S00 in cash. "It's another Steve Brown case," said Wenzel. "I'm no more dead than he was when one of the papers wrote him up." FEAST OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. The feast of Immaculate Conception, one of the great holidays in the Catholic church, will be observed in Hammond tomorrow. An early mass will be said at 5:30 in the morning in All Saints church in order to accommodate the working men. A t o'clock mass will be said In the chapel of St. Margaret's hospital, but it Is only for those who are unable to attend a later mass. Other services throughout the day will be observed as on Sunday. E0DEZ TO SE TRIED FOR MURDER Paul Vicai of Indiana Harbor, His Victim, Fus.se Awny at a Local Hospital. Paul Vicai of Indiana Harbor, who was stabbed by Steve Kodez, died yesterday in St. Margaret's hospital. An inquest was held today. Kodez is at the county Jail and will be held to the grand jury, which will be reconvened either tomorrow or early next week. In a confession to the East Chicago police, Kodez pleaded guilty to the stabbing of Vicai and an atempt will be made by the state to indict him with murder in the first degree. Life's Struggles.

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

A Daring: VV'ttsp. Some wasps live In part upon honey, which they collect from the most open petaled flowers, and thus to a very modern te extent they may be regarded in the light of flower fertilizers. Kirkland says in the first volume of the American Naturalist that "the paper hornet (Vespa maculata) often enters my nucleus hived when I am rearing Italian queen bees and captures the young queen in the midst of her little colony, usually just after she has commenced her first laying. I have seen this depredator enter the small hive, drag out the queen and fly away with her to the woods" (page 52). Some of the species of the kiius polistea store up honey which is poisonous, from the fact that it has been collected from poisonous flowers. They are found in South America, where also species of the genus chartergus occur wasps that make a very remarkable and tough nest, with funnel shaped combs inside, arranged one Inside of another, nest fashion, but not in contact except at their points of suspension. At the apexes of these cones occur the apertures of entrance for the inmates to pass up among the conical tiers. Steering the Ship. The wcrk of steering a great ship, even with the aid of modern machinery, is much more delicate than one would imagine. The larger and faster the ship the greater is the difficulty. It is not enough to hold the wheel in the same position to keep the ship on her course, for the wind and waves and the currents of the ocean tend constantly to knock the ship off her course. The great wall of Bteel (for the hull may be 700 feet long and sixty feet high) offers a broad target for the wind and wnves. The art in steering is to humor the ship to these forces and when she is deflected bring her back quickly to her course. If you could watch the binnacle, especially in bad weather, you would see the needle of the compass constantly shifting from side to side, which means that the great steel prow is not going forward in a perfectly straight line. Francis Arnold Collins In St Nicholas. Jfew York's Cab Drivers. A driver has to have a license. That mysterious official, the mayor's marshal, grants one upon the payment of 23 cents and two written testimonials of honesty. A man may come out of Sing Sing, whither he has been sent for highway robbery or stoning the minister's cat or any other crime, if he presents two greasy letters one of any Jones and the other of any Smithstating that he is an honest fellow he will get a license. No inquiry is made. His references are never looked up. Indeed, If you are a desperate criminal guilty of murder or failure to pay alimony you can do no better than take out a license and hide on top of a cab. So into tho business drift all sorts and conditions of rogues. Under the aegis of the law (the aegis being a twenty-five cent badge) they rob you and me. Vance Thompson In Outing Magazine. The Ilessinns Played. It Is a matter of record that upon the first official celebration of Independence day by the Continental congress music was secured for the occasion by forcing the Hessian band, which had been captured by George Washington nt Trenton in the previous December, to play In the public square all day, to the great delight and amusement of the people. It is also stated that these involuntary celebrants were obliged to practice appropriate airs for three weeks previously in order that they could not plead Ignorance as an excuse. Cartons Coincidences. When the Ring theater, In Vienna, was burned, with great loss of life, one of the other playhouses of the Austrian capital was playing Pailleron's "Le Monde ou l'on S'Ennuie;" when the Stadt theater, in Vienna, was burned another theater In that city was playing "Le Monde ou Ton S'Ennuie," and on the evening of the day when the fire in the charity bazaar in Fails took place the Theatre Francais was announced to play "Le Monde ou l'on S'Ennuie." Jealousy. "That word 'communist,' my dear, observed the young husband, correcting her, "has the accent on the first syllable." "How do you know?" "The dictionary says so." "I never saw a man as prejudiced in favor of dictionaries as you are!" exclaimed the young wife. "I wish you had married a dictionary!" too Maci at Stake to Forpet. "When you are absorbed in your business cares downtown today, Herbert, you will forget your little wife entirely." "No, darling. That steak you cooked for me with your own sweet hands this morning for breakfast will keep you in my memory every minute of the day." Overdoing; the Exercise. Footpad (with revolver) Hold up yer hands! Victim You can go through me if you want to, but I'll be dad dinged if I'm going to hold up my hands any more! I'm tired of doing it. You're the third since I left the lodge. Chicago Tribune. According to Circumstances. A man never talks much about the "sweetness" of a cob pipe so long as he has money to buy cigars. Topeka Capital. Coal dust mixed with salt and water and made Into good sized lumps will be found very useful to bank up fire at night.

Handwriting and Health. Slanting handwriting has just been proved to be responsible for the aliments of more than 50 per cent of our young people. As both the steel pen and the slanting writing originally came from England, we exclaim with all our hearts: Let us keep the pen by all means, but send back the bad habits it brought in Its train to the place whence they came! Parid Petit Journal.

The Other Man Felt It. Dentist (prodding a patient's gum in search of a fragment of root) Funny, I don't seem to feel it. Patient (ironical in spite of the pain) You're in luck! Pick-Me-Up. Cure For Cold. Remember that coids are infectious to some extent. As a preventive, oil of eucalyptus is found very efficacious. A few drops on a lump of sugar is curative if taken at the first symptom of a cold and prevents the catching of ono if you have been exposed to the infection. In Low Estee; "Lend me a hundred, Aid man." "Can't do it." "I'll pay you six ptr cent interest." "Say, If I thought, you'd pay six per cent, of the principal I'd let you have tho money." uiccci .amv 1 91 kj n Vaccinating for Prizes. In order to encourage vaccination the mayor of Madrid has established a lottery and presents a ticket to every one who submits to the operation. Responsibility. A young woman never realizes that she is married until after her husband Is taken ill. His first cold in the chest convinces her that marriage has some responsibility. Man is never convinced of the fact until the night he Is left alone with the first baby. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. WANTED Sewing. Will go out by the day.
