Added to the Srene by I-Ire Denver Col Aug -The Gumry hotel on Lawrence street between Seventeenth ami Eighteenth streets was completely demolished by an explosion shortly after 13 o'clock this morning It is not known positively that anyone was killed but at this hour (3 a six or seven people are missing The rear portion of the building five-story brick Ml shortly after the explosion The front wall is expected to go down sfe any instant and this keeps the firemen from prosecuting the search for the missing from that I part of the structure The hotel while not a large one was well-filled with guests The help of the hotel which sleeps In the top floor in the rear portion of the building are among those missing Window glass in all the buildings near the hotel was smashed to atoms and in many cases the buildings were badly shaken np At 12:45 five persons had been taken out They were guests end were on the next to the top floor They were not seriouay injured as the floors sank and were apparently not wrecked by tlie force of tlie explosion All the fire department and police were at once summoned to the scene and calls for reserves and ambulances followed in a short time Two women were taken out about 1 o'clock' They were seriously injured and it is feared that several bones had been broken The bottles of several more can be seen among tlie debris in the rear of the bnilding -The rescuers are making all efforts possible to reach them but progress is retarded by the mass of iron and wood intertwined among which are electric wires which add greatly to the danger The explosion was caused by the bursting of the boiler in the basement of the kotcL The lower floors were wrecked and the entire mass caught fire the flames shooting rapidly up thrbngh the remaining floors The fire is now under control but tlie smoke hanging about the ruins is so dense that tlie firemen are unable to proceed with the search Onlv fifteen of the people who are known to have been in the building at the time of the accident are accounted for at this hour This will leave fifty who are supposed to be dead 51 McClain amt family arrived at the hotel at a late hour tonight from Huron Kan They occupied front rooms 51 McClain thinks there were about sixty guests in the house This with the help employed on the' premises will make seventy-five persons in the bnilding at the time of the explosion The dead body of Mrs Trainer has been taken from the ruins SOUTHERN GLEANINGS awMMtao Respite for Meniere Gov Atkinson of Georgia has granted a respite until October 18 to Mrs Elizabeth Nobles the aged white woman who killed her husband The ease of Mrs Nobles has attracted as mncli interest in Georgia as the case of 5faria Barber! in New York The merits of the case were not gone into at all by the governor the application in the behalf being simply that a sufficient respite be granted to permit a motion for a new trial to be made at the next term of Twiggs county court This is an extraordinary motion for a new trial the counsel having abandoned her after her trial and having made no effort to secure a new trial for her The governor granted a similar stay in the case of Gus Fambles the negro who was her accomplice though no motion was made in hia behalf Mother and Daughters Cremated Near Arlington Tenn the house of Callie Harrell was destroyed by fire and she and

back to the first quarter of the oratory spoke to a reporter of a onange which baa occurred in his lifetime I was a hoy in New be said used to guy a man who wore a uniform excepting when there was a regimental parade or when it was the Fourth of July bnt the boys esn't do that now When I left the house to-day a uniformed letter carrier was at the door with my mail Half way up the block I met a uniformed policeman going hia rounds A uniformed messenger boy was running on the other side of the street took an elevated ear the guard upon which was in uniform I saw lots of coach drivers on Madison avenue in livery which is a private uniform- A gang of uniformed street sweeps were plying their brooms A uniformed member of the national guard marched past me Lots of bicyclers men and women have taken to the wearing of a kind of uniform rather queer looking too sometimes The federal supreme court is not tho only court in which the judges now wear a judicial garb which is a uniform I went to a college commencement and saw all the students uniformed in mortarboard hats and togas You can see clergymen clad in a part of tlieir clerical uniform snch as the all-around collar and buttoned-up vest Tlie waiters and hall men at li igh-toned hotels are uniformed and so are the women behind the counters in some Stores The fashionable evening dress is a uniform and the atiffest ol any "At first I did not like to see the adoption of the European custom in the place of the plain old-fashioned American ways bnt there does nob seem to be any use in kicking There was a kick against the police uniform now worn when it was in trod need and there was a kick against the uniforming of the letter carriers and there has been a kick at every extension pf the custom of wearing uniforms The street cleaners did not like CoL Idea pf putting them in uniform awhile ago Bnt not a kick against uniformity in any case has ever had any effect I am getting to wish now that everybody was unifonned and that every business had its own particular uniform I would have the tall street uniform the poet's uniform nd distinctive uniforms for hotelkeepers editors grocers professional dudes custom tailors lawyers typographers gas company men dub members doctors bricklayers and pullers-! It would be very convenient te wonld know something about man at sight The Wall street broker might wear a ping hat with a green coat the hotel-keeper a suit of sky bine the doctor a dress of crape tha grocer a white apron washed every day and the east-side barker should be allowed to carry a trumpet There must be thirty thousand or forty thousand uniformed people in the city and the rest of ns might as well bo put in uniform As it now is you know a policeman when you see him nd a letter carrier and a street sweeper and a train guard and a liveried coachman and a messenger boy and why should yon not also know a politician in white or a retail druggist in the colors of all the bottles in his Sun MUSIC IN GERMANY It I a Fart of tho Life of tho With regard to patriotism it may be averred that amid the darkest hours of national disaster from the time of the thirty war down to onr own time the German Lied has kept the flame of patriotism burning In the war of liberation of 1813 song did almost as much as the sword And in 1870 the famous song of "The Watch on the played a part hich it wonld be impossible to nnder -stand without knowing something of German life and character The German soldier is incomplete without those beantiful songs which stir his patriotism as they also recall the romance attached to this life in days gone by Singing la universally cnltivated in the German army German soldiers sing while on the march and of an evening in their bivouacs song is often the necessary accompaniment to the pipe when the work is done It is strikingly illustrative of the poetical sentiment of the German race that the most beautiful of these old soldier's songs deal with pathetic 1 incidents in a soldier's life and hardly ever touch the vainglorious or bombastic note Bnt it ia in the domain of lyric and love that tbe German Lied has perhaps reached its highest development Also in no country have tbe lyrics of the greatest poets so greedily been set to music by great composers as in Germany A man may be ever so coarse bnt be can hardly remain in contact with the spirit of the German Lied from the cradle to middle age without rubbing off some of that no couth ness of feeling and behavio which we only too often meet with in some countries in which the pathos and sentiment of a true German Voiko lied are materia incognita Sidney Whitman in Chantanqnan She Knew

visible traces of wounds recoived in battle and to the crippled veterans that were seated in wheel chairs on the field The emperor then ordered the troops to form in squares and after the command had been obeyed sis majesty addressed the soldiers as follows: The honoring of the memory of my grandfather will awaken within you memories of the glorious days when you bravely stood faithful to your

midnight this morning and with terrific force tore away the entire rear portion of the bnilding demolishing the rear and side walls and reducing the place to a masa of debris which shortly after took fire Eight bodies have been recovered and are at the city morgue Ten more are known to be buried in the ruins and seventeen are missing The lorn of life will not be definitely known for a day or two It is believed that a 17-year-old boy Elmer Pearce who was temporarily placed in charge of the boiler is responsible for tlie accident With the boiler almost at red beat he let In cold water which caused the explosion Strange to say he escaped unscathed and to-night was being hunted by a crowd' of angry people who would have dealt with him hastily had lie been apprehended There ia no clew to his whereabouts Letson was the first man taken out alive from the ruins He had an experience which was marvelous He slept on the third floor and when found was encased in a conical masa of mortar and bricks that barelyal-lowed him breathing room Chief Roberts of the fire department first discovered him and began the removal of 1 he debris which seemed to rest directly upon his body In agonizing appeals Letson begged for an instrn ment to end hia existence The rescuers worked with a will and in two hours had succeeded in removing enough plaster and bricks from tlie now apparently lifeless body to allow his removal He was taken to the county hospital and though liis lower limbs were horribly contused he will survive Women and children maddened by tlie terrible suspense of the day hurried to and fro outside tlie lines in anxious inqniry concerning missing ones Strong men hard at work amid the mins shivered at the smell of roasting flesh and turned with pallid countenances from the scene Never before has such absolute wreck and ruin been seen in any portion of the state About 10 o'clock in the morning a woman's hand was noticed protruding from among a pile cf laths bricks and other materiaL Tlie rescuers immediately went work in this place and when the work of removal was finished it was discovered that she was dead Lying beside her in lifeless embrace was the corpse of a small child The work of the firemen was super intended by 5Iayor Me Murray and Police Commissioners II ogle Church and Wilson At 5 o'clock the body of an unknown man was recovered and it was immediately taken to the city morgue where it was later thought to be that of McCloskey Half an hour later the remains of Conductor Burt were discovered and taken out and they too were taken to the morgue Earlier in the morning were found the bodies of Mr and Mrs CL Greiner clasped in fond embrace amid tons of the wreckage They had undoubtedly died from suffocation their features were perfectly clear and tlielr limbs in natural repose The left arm of 51 Greiner was thrown across his wife's face hisorefinger raised as though warning her of danger The firemen first uncovered their heads and it was linl an lionr later before the entire bodies were exhnmed Excitement it the city to-night is at It high pitcli Throngs of people crowd police headquarters tlie morgue and hotels searching for missing friends The ropen encircling the scene of tlie accident failed to keep back excited friends of missing peo pie and thousands of curious bystand era Police from all over tlie city were stationed at the scene and are attempting to keep order There is much conjecture to-night concerning the eauae of the accident but Coroner Martin is now firmly convinced that the accident was caused by the hoy The hastily-organized surgeons corps under Police Surgeon Jaraekeri did noble work With fifty feet of flimsy walls tottering over their head they wended tlieir way early it the accident along corridors down stairways past shaky partitions to aid the injured 5Iedicine was passed from one to another along the line and while Letson was being rescued his head was swathed in damp bandages and stimulants administered Chief of lolice Goulding worked in the ruins all day and every policeman was ordered to at once forget his inconveniences and aid the injured About 0 o'clock this evening a severe windstorm from the northwest arose anil work was extremely precarious with shaky walls towering in the air To add to the confusion and chaos rain began falling in torrents and what few workers were not drenched by streams from the fire engines were incommoded by the cold rain About 8 o'clock the rain had ceased but clouds of stifling smoke con tinned to rise from the mass of rains The young man in charge of the boiler at the time of the accident was a thoroughly irresponsible boy only 17 years of age He had attended a picnic during the day and was under the influence of liqnor when he went on duty as several reliable persons have testified How he ever managed to turn the injector cock and escape without tlie slightest injury as he has certainly done is a mystery The boilers are said to have been in excellent shape just prior to the explosion and nothing save gross negligence could-have caused the accident The building was a five-story one erected in 1888 by Mr Gumry The terrible destruction wrought by the explosion is in evidence every where Stores in the neighborhood have their fronts demolished or windows damaged Along Larimer street in the rear of 1 the building there is not a whole plate glass for a block and Lawrence street in' the front shows similar signs of demolition To estimate the damage and loss is very difficult especially as no insurance papers are
