M. Perkins, marine recruit- ing officer, whose department is on the | second floor of the building and who also | experienced the shock of the explosion, hastened to render what assistance he could, and together with Sergeant For- ester, also of the marine service, succeed- | ed in extinguishing the flames, which | were enveloping Harmes, while Attor- | ney Harris stripped the clothing from the man’s body | Harmes was then hurried to the Lion | drug store, corner of Stockton and Market streets, by two mounted policemen who | happened to be in the neighborhood at the time of the explosion. There was no pos- | sibility of attending the sufferer there, | and he was hastily placed in a passing | bugdy and with all possible speed con- | veyed to the Emergency Hospital. A fifty-foot glass roof which gives light | to the interior of the building was wreck- ed. The glass was scattered on the sec- ond fioor, which was one mass of the breakage. The force of the explosion bent | the frames which held the glass in most grotesque shapes. Door panels, too, were | blown in, glass of transoms was shattered | and window frame work was sent flying. | That no lives were lost was a miracle. | SHOWER OF GLASS. | Captain Perkins' - quarters suffered to theexten: he plate glass window was | blown out into Iiiis street, while another window in the front part of the building was sent shattering down to the side- walk Miss Dolly Echeverria, employed with | a tafloring firm in the building, was about | 10 leaye the office at the moment of the explosion. As she approached the door | it burst in to d her. So great was the | force t Miss Echeverria was almost knocked to the floor. Miss Beatrice Can- deze was the first to reach the fire es- | cape, and her screams and presence there added to the excitement of the alarm- ing situation At the Emergency Hospital Harmes was | attended by Dr. Armistead, who found | him to be suffering from severe burns. | His arms and his chest, shoulders, | back, neck and face were burned. died at 11 o'clock. | Harmes said at the hospital that there | was a leak In the gas pipe and he was on a stepladder in the act of ascertain- ing where the defect was when the ex- plosion came. Harmes' statement does not coincid with the opinion given by several ten ants of the building, most of whom be- He lieve that the janitor was in the act of | mixing paint and had an explosive in his room, which was the cause of the trouble. Another theory is given that may have some weight. There are several tailoring establishments in the building, and it is probable that gasoline, which s used in cleansing clothing, was stored in the room where the explosion occurred. James Conroy Is Drowned. The body of a man supposed to be that of James Conroy was found floaling in the bay yesterday near Mission Rock. It had been in the water but a day or two.

Hazen yesterday arrested Huntley Rider, a cook in the New Cali- fornia chophouse at 908 Kearny street, on complaint of Frank Price. -~ Price ac- cuses Rider of passing a 50-cent counter- feit piece on him in change. - : I that there is no surplus'in the school e i Riders who had become separated | frcm their command. President Roose- velt, in his report of that dreadful charge, repeatedly mentioned Captain McBlain, and spoke of him as among those who | had good reason to claim the honar of | being the first to gain the summit of the hill. Althcugh unharmed in his service in Cuba, Captain McBlain contracted a fe- | ver there and suffered from a complica- | tion of troubles as a result of that cam- paign. Notwithstanding his physical ail- ments he insisted on accompanying his regiment when it was ordered to the Phil- | ippines. Coming to this city en route he was for a time laid up at the Presidio Hospital, but managed to get off with his company and served for more than a vear in that war. Owing to ill health he was recalled and assigned to enlistment Guty at Houston, Tex., where he cled Saturday last. Captain McBlain leaves a wife and one child, having married an estimable young lady of Washington, a niece of the fam- | ous orator and statesman, Senator Dan W. Voorhies of Indiana. He was a cou- sin of ex-Judge Rokert Ferral of this city and always clalmed San Francisco as his home. By his death the service has | lost a brave and gallant officer, and the State and nation a good citizen and a senlal, warm-hearted ‘gentleman.

Campbell Succeeds in His Second Attempt at Suicide. R SRS Y William J. Campbell, a real estats agent at 331 Kearny street, committed suicide ecarly yesterday morning by shooting himself twice in the left breast with a revolver in his room at 788 Grove street. Campbell was a car conductor on the ‘Hayes street line up to two months ago, when he bought a half interest in the real estate business with J. H. Christian- son. On October 23 Campbell attempted to 2sphyxiate himself in his room by turn- ing on the gas, but was discovered be- fore it was too late. Before attempting®to make away with himself he mailed three letters, one to his cousin, Ernest R. Lambert, one to Edna Silverborn of San Jose and one to his mother at Dos Palos. The letter to his mother reads as follows: Dear Mother: You will receive this letter in case a fatal accident happens to me. But for your sake alone, mamma, I hope no one will ever have cause to send it to you, for I know the sorrow it will bring you. My dear mother, you must remember that we ail have our time to be laid away, and when that time ‘comes we should be ready. If a person has a pure, honest heart and no shadows in his past life he should not be afraid to meet death at any time or in what way it may wait for him. The only thing that hurts me. fs the sorrow which will be brought to you and my dear loving sisters. May Ged bless you all. "I may meet you some day In heaven. Good-by. Your loving son, ‘W. J. CAMPBELL. Campbell went to his room shortly af- ter 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and a few minutes after he had closed the door the inmates of the house heard two pis- tol shots. They sent for Police Officer Isaacs and Dr.. O'Connell, but the un- fortunate man was past all help. The body was taken to the Morgue and an inquest will be held. Campbell was 22 years old.

Marchand against Edward Marchand, who condqucts a French restau- rant bearing his name, was dismissed yes- terday, Mrs. Marchand has not given up her battle to compel her husband to sup- port her.

She alleges that her husband receives $1750 a month as his share in the business and asks the court to wward her $300 a month for her sepa- 1ate . maintenance. She also asks for $750 to enable her .to defray the costs of ac- tion.
