Rocoosin a suit against the Security In- surance Company of New Haven, Conn., to recover the sum of $1,500. The plaintiff claims to have obtained a policy from the ecmpany November 9, 1894, and states that on the 2th of last April an explosion in his shop destroyed {t and its contents, the loss being estimated at $2,751, the plaintiff and his family escaping injury only through the efforts of their neighbors. Mr. Rocoosin asserts that the insurance company refuses to pay him the amount of his policy. ee Question of Identity. In Criminal Court No. 4-Charles Miller, a colored man, was convicted yesterday af- ternoon of breaking into the stable of one John W. Miller. The defendant took the stand, and denied that he had, under the mame of Charles Boss, served a term of three years in the Albany penitentiary for housebreaking. Policeman Brenneman and Attorney Fountain Peyton swore that, in their opinion, Miller and Boss were the same individuals. But, on the other hand, Attorneys Shillington and Coomeap who de- fended Boss, testified that they could not sv-ear that Miller was Boss. Bailiff James Springmen swore that Boss was not Miller. Judge Cox postponed sentence until Miller’s ccunsel, Mr. T. C. Taylor, could investigate the matter. ———. No Trace of Deloe. No trace of the whereabouts of Wiliiam D. Delee, whose myst2rlou3 disappearance from Dutols, Pa., was exclusively described in The Star last week, has as yet been dis- covered. Young Deloe, who is a Washing- ton boy, was employed as a reporter on the Dub Evening Express. He complained of being ill, and a week ago last Saturday left the Express office, and since then has met be-n roen.

Mundheim; * The New Play Presnted at the Grand Last Night. A Successful Drama, With Beautiful Stage Settings, Well Per- formed. Grand Opera House.—The Heart of Mary- land,” Mr. David Belasco’s latest effort, which had Sts first production on any stage at the Grand last night, after two postpone- ments, is destined to be a notable success, and its debut was marked with every. deni- onstration of favor by an immense audience that completely filled the house. There was not a hitch of any kind in the performance itself, and although occupying about three hours and a half, the audience was held in perfect attention and sympathy for the en- tire period. In “The Heart of Maryland” Mr. Belasco deals with no new problems, nor does he at- tempt any startling complications. The members of a Maryland household are torn by the civil war into confifcting sympathi Maryland Calvert (Mrs. Leslie Carter), of the “Lilacs,” is loyal to the south, but loves Col. Alan Kendrick of the ninth United States cavalry (Mr. Maurice Barrymore), and Is estrang@d from him when, at the out- break of the war, he adheres to the Union. At the opening of the play the “Lilacs” is used as headquarters of the confederate forces advancing toward Washington through Maryland, under the command of Gen. Hugh Kendrick (Mr. Frank Mordant), father of Maryland's lover. One regiment of his force is commanded by Col. Fulton Thorpe (Mr. John E. Kellerd), a former offi- cer of the United States army, who, pre- vious to the war, was driven from its ranks by Alan Kendrick’s exposure of his dis- bonorable methods. He is now loyal to the south, but is ostensibly in the employ of the northern army as a spy. A batch of exchange federal prisoners reaches the “Lilacs” on the march to the Union lines, and among them is Alan Kendrick, who thus meets Maryland. She pleads with him to abandon his fight against the south. The plot thenceforth Is worked out with strong strokes. Young Kendrick refusing to accede to her plea, saves the garrison at Clarkesville, and then returns to “The Lilacs” to see his sweetheart, where he is captured and condemned by his father to the death of a spy. The father is killed in battle, and Col. Thorpe, Alan’s enemy, is placed in a position to save him. Maryland appeals to him for aid and is repulsed. There is a dramatic. scene between Ken- drick, Thorpe and Maryland in a church, after which the prisoner escapes. This is really the climax of the play, and the final act {s but a clearing up of the odds and ends of the complications, at the conclusion of which the lovers are happily reunited. Mrs. Lesile Carter has never had 30 ex- cellent a vehicle for her powers as an emo- tional actress as in “The Heart of Mary- Jand.” She makes out of ordinary ma- Her personal- ity dominates the entire production. Even Mayrice Barrymore as the somewhat con- ventional military hero is relegated to a comparatively secondary position. Mrs. Carter's powers are peculiar. She has been unfortunate in the past, it may be, in not Anding just the opportunity that her friends bave claimed she should have before final judgment was passed upon her qualities. While at times last evening she worked perhaps a bit too hard, there was not a really false note in her interpretation of the character of Maryland, a woman of strong feeling, torn between her love and her de- votion to the cause, in wh!ch she conscien- tlously believed. That she surrendered to her Iove was made a perfectly natural de- velopment. Mr. Barrymore was just as ecsy and graceful and strong as ever, and shows that he has not deteriorated in the past few years from the eminence among actors that was most marked when hé pro- duced his famous impersonation of Capt. Swift. Mr. John Kellerd was an ideal vil- jain, and his work at’ times was extremely artistic. Mr. Frank Mordaunt, as Gen. Kendrick, had a difficult role, and one to which he gave a strong distinct value. Miss Helen Tracy enacted the role of a dig- nified southern matron in a way that show- ed careful study. Miss Georgia Busby and Miss Angela Macaull did well in the juven- ile feminine parts. Others in the caste were Mr. Odell Williams, who as the comically brutal provost sergeant was exceedingly clever, and his comedy work was weil bal- anced by that of Mr. John W. Jennings as the aged sexton. A strong part was assign- ed to Mr. Henry Weaver, jr.as Tom Boone, a rejected lover of Maryland, and he did his work well. In the pruning process that is inevitable, Mr. Belasco may have to make a complete rearrangement of the last three scenes, in order to save the play from being subject of that all too common fault of flattening cut. As it is, the last act is too tame in comparison with its predecessors. The scenery is beyond description. Mr. Belasco has in “The Heart of Maryland” a play that, after silght revision,* will surely net bim both revenue and new reputation. Magic, Mesmerism and Music.—Prof. Mar- kos at Odd Fellows’ Hall, 7th street be- tween D and E streets northwest, is enter- tainirg nightly good crowds of people by his feats In legerdemain, mesmerism and hypnotism. A musical trio, the Williams family, assists the professor in his per- fcrmance and give a musical act of a high order. They play on nearly every instru- ment, and some of their music is excellent. Next week there will be an entire change of prcgram, introducing some new and in- teresting novelties. Popular prices will prevail. Lafayette Square Theater.—Miss Ada Rehan will occupy the boards at the Lafay- ette Square Theater next week. Few artists who come to the national capital are so universally popular as Miss Rehan. Added to the stellar attraction, the house will be in a much more complete state, the smaller details being finished by that time, and the whole will b2gin to take on the handsome eppearance that {ts projectors intended it should. Miss Rehan has a strong company, consisting of Augustin Daly’s New York aggregation, and will present the following = “The Railroad of Tuesday, for Seandal;” Vednesday, ‘Twelfth Night; Thursday, “As You Like It;” Friday night and Satu day matinee, “Midsummer Night's Dream, and Saturday night,“Taming of the Shrew.” National Theater.—“The Foundling” will te the attraction at the National Theater next week. It is a three-act farce, and packed Hoyt’s Theater in New York for nearly 200 nights last season. Of course, the principal feature of the show is Miss Cissy Fitzgerald. It is said that she dances even better and makes more friends in “The Foundling” than she did in the “Gatety Girl.” The farce was written by the author of “Jane” and {s said to be an improvement on that popular comedy. A curtain raiser, ‘The Man Upstairs,” a one- act farce, will be given. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Those who remember with feelings of pleasure the en- gagement of “1492” in this city recently, will be happy to know that it will again be seen at Allen’s Grand Opera House next week. There will be a few changes, but as a whole the production will be about the same. Marie Dressler +will take the part of Queen Elizabeth in the place of Richard Harlow, but Walter Jones will re- main the same king of tramps and king of Spain that he was in the former presen- tation. Academy of Music.--Some plays never grow old and never fail to please. One of these 1s “In Old Kentucky,” which has played to crowded houses in this city for two seasons past. It will, be the attraction at the Academy next week, and will in- chide all its original features, the picka- ninny band, the race scene, the perilous leap, the burning stable and heroic rescue. The play has been newly mounted and is expected to meet all the requirements. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.Jas. Thorn- ton’s elite vaudevilles will make their ini- tial appearance at the Lyceum next week, the organization being fully in keeping with the excellent shows which have been presented there already this season. The company {s headed by the charming little c@nedienne, Bonnie Thornton, one of the best known variety actresses on the road. The others who will appear‘on the pro- gram are Gilmore and Leonard, Wills and Collins, the three Marvelles, Ed. Latell, Clark and St. Clair, Sherman and Morris- sey, the Whitten Sisters, the Coney land Girls, and Jas. Thornton, the Na- poleon of song writers. Bijou Theater.—The attraction at the Bi- jou next week will be Florence Bindley. —— Fine lot of driving and riding horses will be sold tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock at Jas. G.

The Dumblane mansion at Tenleytown caught fire yesterday, and for a time it lcoked as if the flames would get a head- way. The roof was attacked. This would have been an opportunity for the recently organized Tenleytown volunteer fire de- partment, but that went out of existence about ten deys ago, internal dissensions arising. Not one fight with fire had been waged. The fire engine at Tenleytown is therefore without a commander. It is stored in the rear of Mrs. Hunt's house, at the junction of the Rockville and River roads. Yesterday's fire was put out by a_ gang of District road men, directed by Officer Hartman. Evangelistic Mecting. “A Search for Joy” was Evangelist Neighbor’s theme at the Gay Street Bap- tist Church last night. A very large con- gregation was present. He showed how all were seekers after happiness, dividing his subject into two parts—“Joy, Where Sought,” and “Joy, Where Found.” “Joy,” said the ‘speaker, “is commonly sought among the fiowers that grow in carth’s garden.” He then showed that neither riches ror earthly pleasure, nor henor nor friends, could give man true happiness. Solomon was an example. “Joy.” he said, “is to be found alone in Christ!” The world destroys—Christ builds up. He who trusts in the Savior shall soon be where there is no more sorrow, pain, weeping or night—but joy eternal—full— supreme. Professions of the faith are being made nightly. Last night four were converted. The revivals are getting more and more interesting. A true awakening is taking place among the unconverted of the church. — Mra. Slack Wants Her Children. Mrs. Mary K. Slack, wife of the late William H. Slack, has begun habeas corpus proceedings at Trenton, N. J., to compel Col. Lewis Perrine to surrender to her the custody of her two children, Mary and Catherine. An order kas been granted, directing Col. Perrine to appear tomorrow in court to show reason why he should not give up the children, who are his nieces. It is claimed that the children went to ‘Trenton a year ago to vistt Col. and Mrs. Perrine, and they have since been detained. and that Mrs. Slack has been refused the return of her children or even an oppor- tunity to see them. The application fur- ther says that the pretense given for de- taining the children is that Mr. Slack, by will, gave the custody of the children to his ‘ister, Mrs. Perrine. : a A Church Anniversary. On the occasion of the celebration of the forty-fourth anniversary of the John Wes- ley A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. R. A. Fisher, D. D., delivered two appropriate and elo- quent sermons, one in the morning and one in the evening. The church 1s located on Connecticut avenue between L and M streets. At the mormmng service the pastor called the roll of the first board of trustees, and there was only one. Mr. Charles Wil- son, to answer to his name. Of the founders there were present Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Pen- nington and Mrs. Thomas. Dr. Fisher re- viewed the history of the church, three of whose pastors have been promoted to the episcopal bench, and where nineteen preachers have been licensed. During the war the church was used as a hospital. Twice it was set on fire, but neither time was much damage done. From the history of the church the preacher pointed out that two lesscrs could be learned, the lesson of falth and a lesson of gratitude. fa Seriously Injured. James Tucker, a lineman in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was seri- ously and possibly fatally injured while working near Laurel yesterday. A pole fell with him, and he was thrown to the ground with such force that it is thought one leg was fractured, and he was also internally injured. The injured nan was bronght here on a train, and was taken to Providence Hospital in the police patrol wagon. S— == The Kengla Estate. Attorneys Gordon & Gordon have filed a bill in equity for Jacob H. Kengla and others against Edith Loulse and Eunice Marie Kengla, for the sale and partition of south part of lot 110, Threlkeld’s Addition to Georgetown, of the estate of the late Mary F. Kengia. Thé Guest at a Handeeme Roveption Last Evening Given in His Honerby the Confederate Vetera Asseicintion—A De- MghtfaP Affair. The reception tendered by the Confeder- ate Veteran Association last evening at Orme*s Halt to ‘Gen. dames Longstreet, the orly surviving Neutonant general of the scuthern army, though impromptu and in- fcrmal, was a notabie success.{n bringing. tegether a large number of Washington’s southern contingent, besides considerable numbers of others extending to members of the G. A. R. The walls and windows of the hall had been prettily draped with flags and cur- tains, while tasteful decorations of palms and other tropical plants added attractive- ness to the scene. Upon the walls hung pictures of generals and other prominent confederates, and of incidents pertaining to the lost cause, relics, bonds, money, memen- tces of battle fields, ete. The banner of the asscciation hung in the center of the north end of the hall, two immense American flags gracefully festooning each. side. Un- der these the guest of the evening sat after the formal reception. “ At 8 o'clock visitors began to arrive, and by 9 the: hall was thronged with veterans ard their familles and friends. At 9 o'¢loek Gen; Longstreet arrived, es- corted by a special committee, consisting of the President of the association, Dr. J. A. Maloney, Capt. J. M. Hickey and Mr. Find- lay Harris. : At the entrance the party was received by a nuniber of the official reception commit- tee, which consisted of Gen. Harry Heth, Dr. Whit Hammet, Gen. L. L. Lomax, Dr. Samuel K. Lewis, Capt. Wm. Brown, W. H. C. Bayley, Dr. W. S..Thompson, Capt. W. Q. Lowd, Maj. R_W. Hunter, Leigh Robin- son, Thomas A. Howard, Maj. Holmes Con- rad and Jno. T. Callaghan. As the distin- guished visitor and: committee filed down the hall along the aisle, flanked by .enthu- siastic guests, the orchestra played “‘Dixie,”” aud three hearty cheers: were given again and again. After a short rest the receiving party took their places at the south end of the hall in front of an immense bank of potted plants, and here the audience filed by and were introduced by Dr. Maloney and Mr. Thomas A. Howard. ’ The recentton committee of the. association was assisted by the following ladies of the Southern Re- Nef Society: Mrs. J. T. Callaghan, Mrs. J. M. Hickey, Mrs. Archibald Young, Mrs. Thomas Riley, Mrs. H. Clay Smith, Mrs. Marcus J. Wright. Speeches and Dancing. « After the reception Dr. Maloney intro- duced Gen. Heth, who, as Gen. Longstreet did not feel-well, made a short speech in his stead. Maj. Albert Akers also made a short but witty and interesting speech. With this the reception program closed and dancing began, which was continued to a ‘late hour. Among the guests present were Mias C. L. Harrold, Mrs. J. J. Bullock, Mrs. T. A. Howard, Miss Clifford, Mrs. Magnus S. Thompson, Mrs. J. W. Drew, Miss Baird, Miss Selden, Mr. E. W. Anderson, Miss Helen Anderson, Miss May. Anderson, Mrs. Albert Akers, Capt. J. W.

Although the oyster: season is yet young, several young men, who passed through here a few weeks ago en route to the oyster beds for the winter, have returned, because they learned of the brutality of so many of the captains during former seasons, and were afrald of a repetition of this conduct, as well as the danger of death from starva- tion. So far as is known no cases of cruel- ty and !mproper feeding have occurred as yet, although the police expect that cases of this kind will come to their attention later on. A Fatal Shot an Ilegal ‘The oyster navy of Maryland,composed of a number of boats, seems to be protecting the oysters this year, as usual, but, so far as is recorded, these cfficers have never pro- tected the ill-used men on the boats or m.ade much of an effort to even prosecute offenders in this line. ‘Tuesday, in the Manakin river, Mate Geo. Wallace of Capt. Hamilton Webster’s naval beat, fired across the boat of an alleged il- legal dredger, and fatally wounded Lafay- ette Towes, a young man, who had been en- deavoring to get a few oysters. After the occurrence Capt. Webster drove to Princess Anne and reported the oecur- rence to the state’s attorney. Towes, who is only eighteen years old, was shot through the head, and it is cer- tain that he cannot recove: ————— DE MOLAY’S ANNUAL INSPECTION. A Happy Festival Marked a Memor- able Anniversary. De Molay Commandery, after the inspec- ticn drill on Sir Andreas Loffler's lawn out on Brightwood avenue yesterday afternoon, sat down to a splendid spread. A number of knights who were excused for disabil- ity' from riding in the parade were present in fatigue uniform and reported at roll call and participated in the social features of \the..eccasion. The commandery added a special pleasure to the day by presenting Sir Knight Loffler a fine piano lamp as a token of the appreciation felt for his kind- ness in inviting the commandery to hold its’ weekly drills on his lawn. Several knights made pretty little testimonial speeches. The electric cars pass the grounds and there was-a throng of guests. Most of the knizhts had their ladies pres- ent, Among visiting ‘knights from other commanderies were United States Treas- urer Morgan, Capt. Gen. Geo. H.

District Attorney Birney has nolle prossed the charge of false pretenses against Harry Kimble Balch and George Lawrence Day, the alleged college students, and they were turned over to the military authorities to answer, it is said, a charge of desertion. "The young men, who claimed to be stu- dents at a New England college, were charged with obtainimg $100 from one Da- vid Currier here on the 31st of last July by inducing him, it is said,to cash a worth- less check. They were subsequently ar- rested in Baltimore and lodged in jail here to await the action of the grand jury. It transpired that the young men had enlisted in the army, and had, it was claimed, de- serted from the post at Newport, R. I. ‘ ———— Going to the Exposition.

The opening lecture,of the course of semi-monthly Friday evening lectures of the National Geographic Society takes Place tomvrrow evening at Metzerott Hall. ‘The lecturer is Gen. A. W. Greely, chief 8’gu.al officer of the army and vice president of the society, who was the society's dele- gate to the gr2at international geographic congress at London this summer, and who, will now describe the .work of the congress. Among the many inter- esting subjects discussed by author- ities of world-wide reputation were &frica, arctic and antarctic research (including An- @ree’s daring project to reach the north pole by balloon), the proposed map of the World on scale of 1 to 1,000,000, and so forth. In’ the African discussion Sclatin Pasha gave a thrilling account of his long cap- tivity In the Soudan and the tragic death of Gen. Gordon, while Mr. Stanley took oc- casion to give a rap at theoretic geograph- ers and their views of African colonization. In the arctic discussion the venerable Sir Joseph Hooker took part, together with modern explorers like Admiral Markham and Gen. Greely, and it will surprise some of our reajers to know that the congress unanimously indorsed and recommended ccntinued and persistent exploration north of the arctic zone and the great unexplored artarctic continent. The social side of the congress was, of course, very interesting, including recep- tions by Right Hon. and Mrs. Curzon, the Baroncss and Mr. Burdett-Coutts and Lord Northwood. The National Geographic Society reccm- mences its work under most favorable au- spices, and the lease of Metzerott Hall will add to the popularity of and at- tendance at the meetin: THE NEGRO’S PLACE IN HISTORY. T. A. Jones’ Address. Before the Young People’s Literary Union Last Evening. ‘There was a large and enthusiastic gath- ering of colored citizens at the Metropoli- tan Baptist Church on R street last even- Ing at the opening of the Young People’s Literary Union of that church. Mr. Jas. E. Payne, president of the union, called the meeting to order. Seated upon the platform were Dr. I. V. Bryant of the Walker Memorial Church,President Payne, Mr. Thomas A. Jones, the orator of the evening, and a number of others. After the address of welcome by the president, Mr. Jones, who is a well-known member ef the local bar, delivered an address’ on the subject, the place of the negro in the history and development of the United States. In the course of his eneech Mr. Jones said: “While we today condemn the south for its treatment of the negro, it must be ad- mitted that in the south and in the south only does the negro find opportunity for the cultivation and display of his noblest powers of enfranchised manhood. he colleges Aad universities which rear thelr classic crests heavenward with the dove of knowledge and wisdom upon their pinnacles, inviting the colored American within their portals, are but living monu- ments in attestation of the fact that the colored American is no longer enslaved and led as a captive at the chariot wheels of disappointed politicians in search of im- aginary honors, but purposes by intelli- gent, wise and judicious conduct to think and act for himself in all matters pertain- Ing to his success and advancement. “It needs no argument to prove that, with the establishing of these educational institutions in which the young men and women of our race are taught the various trades and professions, the south has been redeemed, and that it has heen instrumen- tal in fostering a closer union between the two races; recognizing the wisdom and the great intelligence, which the colored American has displayed today in the north it joins in the declaration ‘We have no north, no*kouth, no east nor west; naught but one common country.’ ” — Work of the Evangelists. Another large audience greeted the evan- Belists, Potter and Miller, at Hamline M. E. Church last evening. The services be- gan by singing “Jerusalem, My Happy Home.” Prayer was offered by Rev. Wm. Mullen, after which Mr. Miller sang the well-known song, “Tie Trundle Bed.” Mr. Potter then announced that he preach upon the subject of “Christianity and Infidelity.” Anozher song by Mr. Mil- ler was sung, called “Paul's Experience With the Phillipian Jailer.” The text of the sermon was then announced. Starting cut with the story of Paul’s conversion, the speaker went on to show how Paul the persecutor became the strong and eainest champion of the cross he had so despised for thirty year Lrawing a picture of Paul's trial betore Felix and Agrippa, he declared that no other such arraignment had ever been reccrded. Appiying che etory of Paul's trial, the conviction of the rulers under the power of his words, he said that these conditions represented the life of the sinner. He would impress upon the unsaved the awful fact that ihere was a time and a yslace when the spirit of Christ would pcise its wings and leave forever. There was but one certvin time in a life to seek salvetion. ‘As a closing hymn, Mr. Miller sang “Go- ing Away Unsaved Tonight.” A number of persons were at the altar, some of whom professed conversion. ———_-— ‘Ten Days’ Trip to Niagara Falls $10.00 A special express, with Pullman parlor cers attached, in charge of an experienced tourist agent, will leave B. end O station, Washington, 8:10 a.m., Tuesday, October 15, arriving at Niagara Falls 11:00 o'clock same night.

The finance’ committee of the Columbia Athletic Club held its regular weekly meet- ing atythe club houze yesterday afternoon, with Mr. Charles J. Bell in the chair, Mr. George E. Emmons as secretary and a full attendance of members. Among the more important matters acted upon was the drafting of a circular to be sent to those indebted to the club, calling their attention to their obligations and requesting an im- mediate settlement of them. It was de- veloped that if the amount owing the club by reason of the failure of former mem- bers to pay their accounts for club dues and sundries was paid in that the enire floating debt of the organization could he wiped out and a substantial balance left over. The finance committee was surprised to find on the delinquent list such a large number of names belonging to good men, and the committee feels assured that it will be only necessary to call their attention to the indebtedness standing against them on the club books to secure full settlement withou: delay. It was also decided to invite the credit- ors of the club to meet the finance com- mitte> at its meeting next Wednesday to agree on terms and a plan for the liquida- tion of the club's standing debt. It was further decided to insert an advertisement in the local papers inviting the holders of the second mortgage bonds to advise the treasurer, Mr. Gilman M. Fague,-of the numbers of the bonds they hold. The members of the committee feel more and more sanguine at each meeting of the ability of the club to successfully pay its obligations and take on a new lease of vigorous life. The applications for mem- bership continue to be received from repre- sentative Washington men and there will be probably a large waiting list by the time the approaching fair and carnival in December comes to an end. —— Death of Gilbert Cornwell. Gilbert Cornwell, son of the late G. G. Cornwell, th> well-known grocer, died yes- terday afternoon at the family residence, 1418 Pennsylvania avenue. The death o curred after a comparatively short illness. He was in the store Tuesday morning, when he was taken ill and was removed to bis home. An operation was performed for some trouble in the bladder, and the patient seemed to be benefited and on the road to recovery. He, however, grew worse and expired yesterday afternoon. The funeral services were held this afternoon at the late residence, and the remains will be taken to Chatham Center, N. Y., for burial. The deceased was forty-seven years old. They Were Rescued. Fire was discovered about 2 o'clock this merning in the basement of a tailor’s supply house at 804 E street northwest, of which Freedman & Sworzy are the proprietors. An alarm of fire was turned in from box 129, and soon after the arrival of the engines Mrs. Lucinda Simms and her nephew, Charles Hamilton, both colored, appeared on the roof of the building in their night clothes and were rescued by the firemen. The flames were soon extinguished, but not until several hundred of dollars’ damage had resulted. The building was the property of George W. Brown. The atock of Freedman & Sworzy was injured somewhat by smoke and water. 090000999000 0000C 0000090908 Sudden Changes From cold to heat, and from heat to coid, are experienced at this season.
