GUESTS ARE MANGLED AN OHIO HOTEL WRECKED BY GAS. Two Persons Killed and Many Others Hurt — Stepping on a Match Causes the Catas-trophe-Scores of Guests Narrowly Escape. [Findlay (Ohio) dispatch.] The first groat disaster Findlay has ever exuerlentod from the use of natural gas took place shortly before 2 o’clock this afternoon while the guests of th© Hotel Marvin were waiting to be summoned to dinner, when a terrible explosion took place, practically wrecking the building and claiming from ten to fifteen human victims, two of whom are already dead and two others probably fatally injured. The names of the killed are: Katie Walters, a waitress, killed outright; Elia Johnson, a dining-room girl, died soon after being extricated from a mass of Brick and moi tar. Following are the names of the injured: Anson Marvin, owner of the building, probably fatally injured, as he inhaled a great deal of flame from the gas; Frank Andrew's, one of the proprietors, right eye knocked out and seriously bruised about the kace and throat; Frank Poundstone, day clerk at the hotel; painfully bruised and hurt about the neck and face, but will recover; Albert French, porter of the hotel, cut on the neck and head, but will recover; Charles Graves, Philip Weil, Jack Cahill. This morning ft was discovered that gas was escaping into the diningroom from a leaking pipe somewhere, and Mr. Marvin, the owner of the building, with three plumbers, spent the entire forenoon trying to locate the leak. About 10 o’clock they entered a chamber underneath the dining-room and found . such an accumulation of gas that they could not breathe, and it was suggested that a holo be sawed through the floor into the dining-room in order to obtain fresh air. This was done, and just as the holo was made one of the diningroom girls, who was sweeping the floor, stepped on a match and in an instant an explosion occurred which not only wrecked the building but killed two girls and maimed and injured a dozen other employes. The force of the exp’osion was so great that it blew out the flame of the ignited gas and no fire followed the awful ruin which the shock had caused. The whole city rocked as if in an earthquake b*y the concussion, and all the windows in the square were demolished, while the wreck of the hotel building was about complete, the only rooms in the house escaping destruction b^ ng the parlors and the office. Had the explosion occurred ten minutes la'er the loss of life would have been frightful, as nearly 100 persons were waiting to be called to dinner, and as a matter of fact one of the clerks, Frank Poundstone, was on hjs way to make the announcement when the explosion occurred, and was caught in the falling debris, he being one of the painfully injured. The financial loss will be about 825,000 on the building and 810,000 on the furniture, all fully’insured. It is a question, however, whether any insurance will be realized, as none of the destruction was caused by fire. The excitement throughout the city ~ h^^he catastrophe has never been since Findlay became a munici- ~ "At 9 o'clock to-night another explosion occurred in the same place as the one of the afternoon, setting tire to the alreadj wrecked and badly demolished diningroom of the Marvin House. The fire department was quickly summoned, however, and more serious damage was averted. Ancient Music. The works of the Greek poets and philosophers are full of allusions to the beauty and powder of music. The Scriptures also laud the divine art. Nevertheless, it is more than probable that music was crude and barbaric even in ancient Jerusalem. (sne rather convincing proof of this is found in the constant desire of the ancients to bring vast bodies of musicians together. “Play skillfully and with aloud noise,” says the Psalmist, and Josephus speaks of choruses of 250,00) voices and as many instrumentalists. It is quite probable that the old historian was exaggerating, yet the very statement shows that the ancients desired power above all things in their tonal feasts. In Greece the same desire for fortissimo obtained, for we read of a young flute-play er bursting a blood-vessel and dying through a herculean effort to obtain a very loud note, and the voice of a gentleman who took several prizes for his musical attainments in the public games was said to be powerful enough to stun the entire audience. Os course the ancient music was strongly rhythmic; of this we have ab solute proof in the Scriptural allusions to the clapping of hands, and in the description of the regular stamping of the director of the chorus in the ancient Greek theaters. The surest proof of the crudity of ancient music is, however, found in the Greek system of notation, which is utterly inadequate to represent music of any intricacy. Yet it is not quite certain that we have deciphered this notation correctly, for the works on the subject are by no means explicit, and many of them have been destroyed. The excavations in progress at Pompeii may still afford a clew to the music of the ancient world. It must be remember that two-thirds of the city is still under ground, and it is quite possible that the remains of a musical library may yet be discovered there. At present the musical works of Boethius and of Vitruvius only serve to make tne darkness of the ancient musical system more Cimmerian. But this much can be stated with surety, that it was barbaric in comparison with the system of our own times.— Boston Musical Times. A French agricultural experiment station reports that out of 575 plants the goat eats 449 and refuses 126; the sheep out of 518 plants eats 387 and refuses 141; the cow out of 494 plants eats 276 and refuses 218; the horse out of 474 plants eats 262 and refuses 212; while the pig out of 243 plants eats 72 and refuses 171.

CONDITION OF CROPS. 1 EFFECT OF THE WEATHER OF THE PAST MONTH. t Winter Wheat Holding Its Own—Snow Here and There Slightly Covers the . Crops—Considerable Fre.-zing and Thawing Weather—Little Wheat Moving and the Flour Trade Dull —The Situation in I Illinois, Indiana, and Other States. I [Chicago dispatch.] Two years ago the present week the । ground was full of moisture, frozen hard ■ and solid, and all the reports as to the general condition of the winter wheat at that time were of an encouraging character. The conditions of the correspondiqg week a year ago wore, in the main, similar, with the difference that up to Jan. 20, 1890, the winter had been exceedingly mi d, and even at that early date we were hearing a good deal of the development of insect life and an unnatural midwinter growth of winter wheat. With the exceptions of some acres through Kansas and Missouri the winter wheat crop lias been entirely bare of snow all winter. Then came our first widespread snow of the season, extending largely over the southern area of tile winter wheat belt. At that time the reports as to the general condition of the winter wheat crop were conflicting, some areas reporting that the winter wheat never looked better, others stating that the midwinter ha I develped considerable insect growth, and that the wh at was rank and tender. As the season advanced both of these reports proved to be correct, and these were Die causes no doubt which had so much to do witli the partial failure of the winter wheat crop of 1890. Northern Texas reports that the general condition of the growing wheat is good. That there has been very little if any snow this winter. Central Texas reports it is drawing its supplies of wheat from Kansas, and that the acreage this season of wheat in that section is small. 1 In Southern Texas, owing to the good I prices that farmers have obtained for their wheat, the acreage sown is a trifle larger than last year. There has be n ; plenty of moisture and the i typ is doing I well. I p to a week ago the condition of winter wheat in Kentucky wns fairly good, but now that the snow has all gone and the weather has been eo^l at night, the earth full of water, with more or less freezing or thawing, there is quite a change in the general condition of the crop. Tennessee reports that it has had no snow this winter and plenty of rain. The wheat is generally in good condition. Mills hold Int little if any win at, and are drawing mainly on the North now for supplies. In Northern Kansas the winter wheat has for the last week been covered with about two inches of snow. In Southern and Central Kansas until te'cntly theie has not been any snow on the ground except for two or three days since Dee. 1, and tho crop all over the state was needing moisture badly. Little wheat is moving. Mills are generally well sujiplied with wheat. In Northern Missouri the wheat looks fair, but needs more moisture. In Central Missouri wheat is in better shape than a year ago at this time. Farmers are not holding much wheat. In Southern Missouri, since Dee. 1. tho ground has been covered v- it h snow for about three days- The winter has been mild and favorab’e for growing wheat. Flour trade has been better for the last two weeks than for some tisno. The general opinion seems to be, in this part of the State, that the reserve-of wheat now in farmers’ hands will all be needed by the. mills at home. In Central Illinois winter wheat had its first covering of snow Jan. 1. The general conditions of the crop in this area as compared with a year ago are not as good. The plants are smallerajid the stand not as heavy. The ravages of tho Ay are much more apt arent. In Southern Illinois the wheat is bare. There is more complaint of fly than a year ago. The ear’ mat lias suffered considerably from y. Freezing at night and thawing through the day is also having bad effect upon the wheat. In Northern Indiana wheat has been bai’e nearly all winter. The plants, however, seem perfectly strong ami healthy, and the present pros pc ts are goal. Farmers arc generally holding their wheat, and only sell when the> are obliged to. Considerable wheat is being shipped in. In Centra! Indiana wheat has not l oon covered with snow more than seven days since Dee. 1. Farmers are marketing practically no wheat in this section, and it becomes mere apparent that the shortage of the crop was fully as great as estimated. A great many of the country mills in this portion of tho State are shipping in wheat from Michigan to supply their home trade. In Southern Indiana they have had no snow since Dec. 25. The wheat is looking brown, and is not as promising as last year at this date. The reports from Southern Indiana are generally of a favorable character with regard to the condition of the growing winter wheat Farmers are. still disposed to hold their wheat, and receipts for the last six weeks have been extremely light. Up to the openin^of tho present week tho winter in Michigan has been mild and tile .winter wheat has been practically bare of snow. The wheat generally looks better than it did 'last year at this time. Since De\ 1 in Northern Ohio the wheat has been covered with snow about half the time. Tho crop is about holding its own. The general conditions are hardly as good as last year at this time.

No Wreck Ashore Was ever more hopelessly strtvnded than a | wrecked constitution, whether Its disaster be the product of some formidable malady or that slow, premature decay that seems to fasten upon some constitutions without apparent adequate cause. An excellent means of checking this gradual drain of the sources of vitality is tho beneficent tonic, Hostetter’s Stoma :h Hitters, which i remotes digestion, enriches the blood and gives substance as well as stamina to an enfeebled frame. Constipation, feebleness oMhe kidneys and bladder, fewor and ague, and rheumatism, are among’ the bodily ailments which it remedies promptly and thoroughly, Fersistvuce in its use is well merited by it. Selling Bread mid Milk. A bowl of bread ami milk, if both bo good, is nutritious, healthful ami above all cheaper than so good food can bo procured in any other form. The Philadelphia genius who made himself rich by selling bread and milk during the Centennial Exposition of 1876 should have imitators in all large cities. Milk can always bo bought, and so too can bread. Yet unless both tire offered together, few think of calling for both at the same time. Yet milk alone, especially if cold, is extremely difficult of digestion. It becomes compacted, in curd in many weak stomachs before it can bo digested, and so does more harm titan good. Add plenty of bread to it, and this curd can not bo formed. Tho bread, and especially if hard bread, so as to need che.wing, mixes saliva witli it, and thus makes the whole mas - more digestible. Still Rolling. It has recently been demonstrated that ■orffo articles of 'merchandise, which have been before the public of England for the last half century, are nine times more used tlier® than all other principal patent medicines put together. We refer to Beecham's Pills, which In order to meet the wishes ami requirements expressed by Americans, many of whom already know their value, are now introduced in such n thorough manner that no home need lie without them In America. We believe this shrewd and discerning people will soon join In the universal testimony that they “are worth a guinea a box,” although they can he purchased of druggists for but twenty-five cents. These pills are round, and will therefore roll. They have already rolled Into every English-speaking country in tho world, and they are still rolling. All sufferers from indigestion, flatulency, constipation, and all other form -of stomach and liver troubles, have now this famous and inexpensive remedy within their reach: but should they find, upon Inquiry, that their druggist does not keep Beecham’s Pills they can send twenty-five cents to the General Agents for tho United Slates. 11.
