FATALLY BURNED. Two Young Prisoners Bathed With Kerosene. Lebanon. Ohio, Nov. 23.—Two col- ored boys wore fatally burned to- day after they had been battled by the county jail attendants in soapy water and kerosene. 'The lads were Charica Gray, 17, and George Ross, 19,sonten•eecl for breaking into freight cars in Loveland. The jail officials feared for the boys' safety and the health of the other prisoners, and decided to give the lads a good Scrubhcng. Gasoline was used to dis- infect their clothing ha well as to cleanse their bodies. Then they were ailowed the freedom of the jail corridor. Other prisoners say the boys en- terde a cell and fastened the door from within.. Then they poured goo - cline on the cell floor and lighted .a• match. In a moment the cell was a fiery furnace. The screams of the inmates attracted the at- tention of the jail authorities, who hastened to the cell and rescued the victims more dead thou alive.

Paris, Nov. 23.—Dr. iflzrmorek, an Austrian bacteriologist, who was until recently the leading chemist at the Pasteur Institute, has com- municated to the Ac.edemy ot Science the results of his experience in cur- ing 'tuberculosis. His researches led him to discover a serum of vaccine which he believes is efiicacioue. He has used it for more than a year, obtaining favorable results in tu- berculosis, although he did not succeed in cases ief tuberculosis men- ingitis, in which the serum proved innocuous, local abscesses being ob- served in only three out of two thousand injections. Dr. Marmorek claims to have made several absolute cures, besides ef- fecting distinct improvement in some advanead sits s, 1:I.: admits, however, that a definite verdict on the merits of the serum can only be obtained after experimentation on a greater scale thaw he has been able to prac- tice. It was in order to be tibia to devote hihnseIf to his discovery that he resigned from the Pasteur Insti- tute. Ur. Ma,rmor,cr'i's method of pre- paring the serum is curious and com- plicated. A particular species of the Koch bacilli, obtained by selection. Is reared in a special medium, com- posed of calf serum, into which white guinea pig globules have been in- jected, and a glycertnous essence of calf liver. Ili this medium the bacilli secrete a toxin, which is then inject- ed into horses. This is its final de- velopment prior to its injection into the human sufferer. The difference between Dr. Mar- morek's horse serum and Professor IKooh's tuberculin • is that the lat- ter is a ole substance, while Dr. Marmorek's is en anti -toxin pre- pared outside the human organism. BRIDGE WORD IS HEAVY. New G. T. 11. Route by Brantford Will be Ready by Spring. Montreal, Nov. 21.—Manager Mc- Guigan, of the G. T. a., returned to the city this morning after an extended trip over the company's lines in Western Ontario. The nego- tiations; with: the telegraphers, he says, have merely been temporarily suspendecl, to be resumed again as soon as opportunity and time af- ford. Regarding the work upon the main line, whileh is to pass,througit Brantford. lair. MCGuigan said that thle work was being pushed forward with all practicable expedition, but that owing to the heavy bridge work to be done he did not antici- pate that the heavy express trains between Montreal and Chicago would be able to use this route until well on neat spring. In the meantime t110 existing structures are being utilized for local traffic. INDIA WANTS TNlBET'S TRADE. Expedition to Solve the Secret of the Grand Llama. Force of Arms to be Used if Found Necessary. Col. Younghusband's Pacific Mission Failed, London Cable—Xs the age -long iso- lation of Lhassa doomed to be in- truded upon, and the mysteries. of the capital of the Grand Llama of Thibet to bo rerouted to the world ? The prospect of an affirmative answer to this question seems to be more likely to -day than ever before. About four months ago the eminent explorer, Col. Yr ungeusband ,was dis- patched by the Indian Government on a political and commercial mission to meet representatives of the Dalai Llama, and to confer with them con- cerning means for removing the hin- drances to trade between Thibet and India, and for overcoming what the British view n,s the unfriendly atti- tude of the '.C,hibetans. The mission, which was accompanied by a mili- tary escort, encamped at Kllamba Jonga, :30 miles within T iibetan ter- ritory, to await the Llama's emis- saries. They did not arrive, and the Llama, by a subordinate official, in- formed col. Yi.unguusband that he could not receive ,him unlesa his es- cort was withdrawn. Thio Cot. Younghnsband refused to da, and he fortified los camp. All the 'Tibetan suspicions of .foreigners were there- upon strengthened, and, it Is alleged, covertly took a .hostile form. Col. Younguusband himself was hurriedly recalled to confer with the Viceroy of India at Simla, and a peaceful so- lution now scents unlikely. It was in view of this situation that the mili- tary expedition under command at Col. MacDonald was prepared, and it is now understood that the oxpetL- tion has been ordered to advance to Gyangtse, an important pace in tl:e Cliumbl Valley, 90 m les nearer Lhasa than Eittamba Joega, and only 350 miles iron, ±be Llama's famous cap- ital. The Indian Government has been informed that the Llama intends to oppose the advance of the expedi- tion, •and that rifles have been dis- tributed to the Tblbetans and other warlike measures taken, the priests having divined that the occasion is favorable to their arms. It is stated that they rely upon Russia's support in attempting to drive out the Brit- ish, and apparently the Indian Gov- ernment believes that Iiuss.an influ- ence has been growing in Thibet, to the extent or menacing. British in- terests. toll. Younghnsband has now probably rejoined bis mission at IChamba Jonga, and Col. MacDonald',, expedition is moving to cooperate with him. Col. Macl)onald's force is understood to include a number of lBritislh troops. The remainder are Sikhs and Goorklhas. No formal warlike declaration is re- ported, but all ti.e indications point to stern re.,istance by the.T11 betans, in Wt-Ich case it can hardly bo doubted that Lhassa will become the ultimate objective of the I3•ritisit. i-IORRIBLE DEATH. Case of Glass Crushed 'Their Lives Out. phew York, Nov. 28. — Two men were killed yesterday by being cruhised under a case of glass wh!e11 they wore moving into the building of a glass mauufatcuring company in titin silty.

They were too late, for the box, despite the men's frantic efforts to keep it up, crash- ed down. All throe men sprang back, and one of thomi succeeded in escaping, thengh knocked down and bruised on the hand and body. The others, however, could not avoid the the heavy case, and were pinned beneath it, life being almost in- stantly crushled out of them. A blurry call was sent to the hospital, but before the ambulance arrived the case had been lifted from the bodice by bystanders. CAMERA TO AID UNION. Used to Snap -Shot Smokers of Non - Union Cigars.

A FiRE BALL Mysterious Blazing `Ball in a London Swamp. London, Nov. 21.—A sensation has- been iasbeen caused among the residents of the east side, who reside east of th'e Grand Trunk ear shops, over what has been termed a "fire ball, which makes its appearance in that part every night. Several hundred. people have been attracted to the scene the past few nights; and it is the talk of the whole neighbor- hood. The "fire ball; as it is gill- ed by the majority of people who have seen it, makes its appearance in the swamp at the foot of Frances street any night, between 7 p. aur, and 12 P. m. The people living in thlwt vicinity are very serious oboist the matter, haul state that the, fire ball rises from the swamp and:; then goes .up and down the G. T- R. tracks, which are only a few yards away, and • there suddenly disappears. It has been suggested that the light was that of a lan- tern being carried by some person, but this theory the people will not listen to. One resident is strong in his determination that the light is made by a bird or a Ihhige bug, but a great many look upon this idea as a very foolishl one. At any rate tho mystery has not yet been solv- ed, and crowds of people are being attracted almost nightly fo see the sight.
