His work for years past has been to e and repair leaks in the gas mains, Yesterday evening a leak was discovered in one of the pipes leading from the main on Main street at the corner of Sixteenth av- enue and Johnson went at once to repair it. Ho had taken up the pavement and dug down to the main shortiy before S o'clock. Ho was alone at his work and as the street is poorly lighted at that point no one noticed anything wrong until a horse fell into the ditch and was badly injured. The animal was gotten out about 8:30 o'clock, and the crowd that had collected went away cursing the gas company for its negligence in leaving an open hole in the strect unguarded, The fact that the man's coat lay there did not seem to attr attention, but half an hour afterw: curred to a newspaper reporter to look into the hole and see what there was at the bot- tom. The gas was coming up from the hole with terrific force, making a r ng sound that could be heard halt a block aw: The reporter braved the danger and touched the vottom of the hole with his feet. The touch revealed the body of a man, or created the suspicion that the body of a man was there. Mado n Slokentng Discovery. The assistance of n man with a lantern was called, and their efforts to hold the lan tern so that the light would shine into the hole resulted in the ignition of the rushing volume of gas, and a terrific explosion oc; curred that sent them flying backward. Two other explosions instantly followed, the flames shooting high into the air, and erad- ually subsiding into a ghostly flicker above th uth of the pit. The light of the ex- plosions revealed the body of the dead man lying on s face in the bottom of the hole. Repeated efforts were made to secure the body, but all were fruitless, many of the men attempting it being overcome by tho choking volumes of gas. The company was notified, but the man whose duty it was to turn off the gas and who knew how and where to do it, was lying dead in the pit, aud it was nearly midnight before any one could be found who knew where to go and turn it off. In the meantime heroic efforts were made to recover the boly with hooks, but vhe fire had burned off nearly all of his clothing, and there was nothing to grapple but the naked, blistered flesh. At 11 o'clock one of the gas men resolutely went down into the hole and pulled out the bod, It is not known whether the man was overcome by the escaping gas ov was injured by the horse falling in upon him. ~The struggles of the horse evidently broke the pipe and let the full force of tho gas escape. Johuson's home is at the corner of Eighth avenue and Ninth streer. He leaves a wife and several cnildren. He has been in the employ of the company for years and was a wrusted und valued employe.

The same kind of exceedingly painful ulceration had troubled me for years and affected my spine and _brain. Two years ago 1 was prostrated with spinal meningitis, or spinal fever, since which time I have had severe pains in my head, back and limbs, The only re- lief 1 ever gov was when I tried the Sweetland Remedies. The pain in my hoad, back and limbs left me with the fivst injection almost, and the second injection brought away the cause of my trouble, more than twenty ulcers and kindred fungus growth and two hours later at loast half a pint of ulcerous mucus.

School Proceedings, Prosident Field and Directors Thomas, Shubert and Brideustein were the only ones present at the meeting of the school boara which was held last evening. Tho evening was spent principally in the transaction of routine business. Superintendent Sawyer made his monthly report of the attendance during the month of October, which was as follows: Number of boys enrolled, 1,820; girls, 1,017; total, 3,736, Average number belonging, 3,494, Ho recommended that the schools be Closed next Wednesday and kept closed until the tollow- ing Monday in honor of Thanksgiving, and e reton s sadRYibaiwasKadbptan .

On Hallowe'en a number of young people tore up the steps at the high school and these were replaced at an expense of §27.37. After some discussion President Field, Superintendent Sawyer and Prof. Eastmau were appointed a committee to secure o settlement of tho bill out of the young peopie who did the damage. Later in the evening, however, Thomas moved to reconsider, and hiis motion was carried, with the result that the people and not the guilty ones will have to pay for the sport. Chairman Shubert again reported that the Steeple Fire Insurance compuny of M chester had failed, and two policies, the district held, aggregating £,500, were worthless.

January, pastor of the Colored Baptist church, was arrested yesterday under & complaint made by Hon, Texas Buker, a former member of his flock. The charge mad st him was breaking into Baker's house, All the indications were that it was a mere pieco of spite work, Texas hias already served a term in tho penitentiary und has a geners bad reputation, while the pastor is regarded as an estimable gentleman, cording to the story which J y tells, hie had bought Baker's house, and Baker had agreed to turn it over to him on the 14th of this month, On that day January, accomparied by Osear Jones, another colored man, went to the house and found the door open. No one was there and they walked in,: Soon Baker ap- peared upon the scene, and ever since that time he has steadily refused to turn the house over to January. Yesterday morning January went to a justice court and got a writ of replevin by virtue of which he was placed in possession of the premises, He nailed up the doors and windows, and when Baker came around to get in he found ever: thing barred against him. flis wrath unbounded when he learned of the his ex-pastor had stolen upon him, and going before the city clerk he filed an_information upon which he w ested as above stated. January was released on his own recogniz- ance to appear tomorrow morning in police court.

Suddenly the reserve sang out: “Light, ahoy!”’ “Where away the deck. “Far, far away,” replicd the would-be man-o’-war’s man, When the officer had recovered from the shock occasioned by this unseaman- like answer he looked over the rail in the divection pointed out by the man from Boston.
