$150 Diamond in the Furnace. Barney Hanels Loss Yesterday in Kindling a Fire. Barney Hanel is minus a $150 diamond ring today which he lost in a peculiar manner yesterday. Since his illness of the past year Mr. Hanel has lost some flesh and his diamond ring has fit rather loosely on his finger. In starting a fire in his furnace yesterday morning the ring slipped from his finger and went in with the kindling. He did not miss it for half an hour but was not long in deciding what had become of it. A search in the ashes soon revealed some of the melted gold and later his boy found the diamond itself. It was burned white and quite rough. Whether it has been ruined can only be determined by sending it to an expert. It is possible it can be polished and brought out all right. The ring was especially valued by Mr. Hanel because it was a present from his wife. It was the only ring he had ever worn.
