To Asheville Today
I A warrant has been issued before
I I'nited Stales Commissioner Summey
! for the arrest of F. C. Ebbs of Madison
county on the charge of embezzlement.
The papers, the service of which will
doubtless cause something like a sensa
! tion in Madison, were sent to the sheriff
l.if th it rnimiv todav and It is nresumed
that the officer will execute his duty to
night and bring Mr. Ebbs here tomor
row morning.
Ebbs is charged w ith having appropri
ated to personal use $7,000 left in his
care as guardian for James Blaine
House, a boy who was injured by a
train of the Southern Railway com
pany, and subsecpuently recovered dam
ages in the sum mentioned.
Ebbs for a number of years conducted
one of the largest mercantile establish
ments in Madison county, the business
being located at Hot Springs; but a few
motiths ago he filed a petition in bank
ruptcy. Xo part of the $7,000, it is said,
has ever been paid to the boy either by
Ebbs or his bondsmen.
Ebbs will be taken before Commis
sioner Summey and the evidence will
be submitted to the grand jury of the
Federal court.
Thomas S. Rollins has been appoint
ed guardian for young House.

39 PERSONS INJURED
BY AN EXPLOSION
Washington. Nov. 12. An explosion
of illumniating gas in the cellar of the
seven-story double tenement on Avenue
V, yesterday afternoon, wrecked a store
on the ground floor and injured thirty
nine persons, several being severely
hurt. Among the injured were fourteen
firemen and one policeman. Those most
severely injured were Battalion Chief
Wm. Guerin, Fireman John Gough, Po
liceman John M. Darrow.
The explosion followed a slight fire,
caused, it is said, by a plumber who
was working in the cellar.
When the firemen, led by Chief Guer
in. entered the cellar it was found to be
charged with gas from a melted lead
connection and a moment later an ex
plosion occurred, enveloping the men in
tlames and blowing out the front of the
store overhead. A shower of debris was
hurled into the crowd watching the fire
and many were struck with fragments
of glass and splintered wood. About 20
persons were taken to the hospital. The
firemen who were in the cellar succeed
ed in making their escape, all suffer
ing more or less from burns and cuts.
The damage by the fire and explosion
was Plight.
