An Entire Family Prostrated and
Two More May Yet-Die.
Lansford, Pa... Nov. 5.—Coal gas es-
:aping from an open stove in the home
of Peter Chewper, on the outskirts of
this place, yesterday morning, will
probably cause the death of five per-
sons, three being already dead. Mr.
and Mrs. Chewper, their infant daugh-
ter Annie, and John Stoplman, Mrs.
Chewper’s father, retired at 9 o’clock
Wednesday night. , ‘
At 4 o’clock yesterday morning when
John Simon, aboarder, returned home
from work he placed a bucket of coal
in the stove and left the lids open. He
then went to bed. At'9 o’clock yester-
day morning a woman of the neighbor-
hood rapped upon the door, and, re-
ceiving no answer, forced an entrance.
She was almost overcome by the coal
gas, but managed to reach the sleeping
apartments, where she was startled to
find the occupants in an unconscious
condition.
Physicians were immediately sum—
moned. Peter Chcwper, Annie Chew-
per and John Stoplman were dead and
Mrs. Chewper and John Simon were
unconscious. Physicians have labored
with the two latter all day, but have
been unable to revive them, and their
cases are hopeless. A pet cat was found
dead upon the floor. The house is a.
one-story, three—room affair and the
deadly fumes of the coal gas pene—
trated every crevice.
ANOTHER BOND ISSUE PROBABLE.
The Dingley Bill Does Not Produce
Sufficient Revenue.
Washington, Nov. 5,—It was hinted
yesterday morning that unless the
operations of the new tariff law show
more increase in the public revenues
within a few months it would become
necessary. for the President to issue
bonds. Of course the President will
avoid doing so in every way possible,
but it is a fact that the Dingley bill
since its enactment has not produced
sufficient revenue. The last monthly
statement shows that the Government
expenditures continue far in excess of
the revenues, and there is not much
hope felt in Treasury Department cir-
zles for better results.
The President, in his coming mes-
sage to Congress, will make the cur-
rency problem asleading feature, and
will doubtless make recommendations
’.0 Congress to enable him to avoid the
necessity of a bond issue. The House
of Representatives can be relied upon
to act promptly upon any suggestions
:he President may make, but the out—
:00k in the Senate is far less favorable.
_Altogether, those who have watched
:he matter do not well see how an is-
suance of bonds in the near future can
0e avoided. '
Mgr. Preston’s Body Entombed.
'White Plains, N. Y., 'yNov. 5.-—'The
body of'Mgr. Prestonwvas placed in its
final resting place in the marble sar-
30phagus in the chapel of the Sisters of
the Divine Compassion here yesterday.
Bile ceremonies were conducted by
Archbishop Corrigan, Bishop Farley
md fifty priests, assisted by the sisters
9f the order, acolytes and a..ar boys.
i‘he sermon was preached by the Rev.
Neil, McKinnon, S. J., of New York
City, who was a personal friend of
Mgr. Preston. Mgr. Preston, he said,
was an Episcopalian ciergyman, and
recognized at last that he was not in
he right faith and became a Catholic.
Presidential Party Returns Home.
Washington, Nov. 5.—President Mc-
Kinley'and party returned to Wash-
ington yesterday morning about 9
a’clock over the Pennsylvania road. The
aarty spent several hours Wednesday
it Pittsburg, and left for the capital at
‘1 o’clock. The President was delight-
ed with his trip, and is much pleased
:0 feel assured that his friend, Senator
Hanna, has pulled through. ‘
Secretary Porter was in the party
and was at the White House yester-
iay. The Secretary does not say much
about the recent elections, but says
:hat he attributes the result to the
.Jsua “off year slump.”
Decided Not to Put Up Prices.
Troy, N. Y., Nov. 5.—The annual con-
vention of the Equity Protective Stove
Association of the United States was-
held at the Troy House yesterday.
Prominent stove manufacturers, from
Lil parts of the country were present.
[‘he convention was held behind closed
ioors. Various matters of interest to
:he stove trade were discussed. It was
said after the meeting that the stove
nanufacturers had decided not to put
up the prices of stoves, and that the
rendition of the stove trade was gen—
erally satisfactory. ‘
Gary for United States Senator.
Washington, Nov. 5.——Postmaster-
General Gary is a candidate to succeed
the Hon. Arthur P. Gorman, of Mary-
and, in the United States Senate.
‘ The reliability of the figures showing
that the Democrats have lost the
Maryland Legislature and that a Re-
publican will succeed Gorman has
troused Gen. Gary and his friends to
iction.
It is said that the President is not
apposed to the idea of a change in the
Postoflice portfolio, and that he will
encourage Gen. Gary to make the race.
Want to Repeal the Civil Service.
Washington, Nov. 5.—There is said
to be a. movement on foot to secure the
'epeal of the Civil Service law by Con-
gress at its coming session. Repre-
sentative Grosvenor, of Ohio, will lead
she movement, and it is said a poll of
the Republican members is now going
an, and a large number have an:
uounced themselves as opposed to the
aw. Of course there would be strong
apposition to repeal, and the chances
are that it could not be accomplished
it the coming session, as the Republi-
3ans would fear to go before the coun-
:ry on that issue.
Airship That Flies.
Berlin, Nov. 5.—-—The Schwarz alumi-
num airship, fitted with a benzine mo-
ior, was tested yesterday on the Tem-
oelhof field in the presence of a number
313 generals and the Chief of the Army
Airship Department. .
The airship rose a thousand feet,
floated in the air for. twelve minutes
and at first obeyed the man steering it.
Later, however, he was ‘unable to steer
ILgainst the strong wind which pre-
vailed. The experiment was considered
:0 be partly successful. .

A Witness Who Will Upset Identifi-
cation of the Body.
New York, Nov. 5;——The trial of
Martin Thorn, charged with
murder of William« Guldensuppe,
will begin next Monday in Long
Island City. District Attorney Youngs
has completed his arrangements, and
says he is confident that Thorn will be
convicted. He has over eighty wit-
nesses ready for the prosecution, and
says he will trace every step of tie
murder. .
The chief witnesses for the prosecu-
tion are the barber, John Gotha, to
whom Thorn is said to have confessed;
John Boula, the oWner of the Wood-
side cottage where the murder is said
to have been committed, who will tes-
tify that Thorn hired the cottage from
him; Mrs. Catherine Riger, who says
she sold the Nack woman oilcloth sim-
ilar to that in which parts of Gulden-
suppe’s body were wrapped, and the
bath rubber,
severed body as Guldensuppe’s.
The trial is likely to be long. The
Nack woman will be tried separately
some weeks later. .
William F. Howe, counsel for Thorn,
says that a witness named Petersen
will arrive from Germany on the
Fuerst Bismarck to-day who will tes-
tify that he has seen Guldensuppe in
Germany since the day on which he
was alleged to have been murdered.
Mr. HOW-e said he had expected two
witnesses from Germany who would
upset the identification of the body.
One, however, was unable to come.
Petersen, the lawyer claims, had
known Guldensuppe from childhood.
Not only will he testify that he saw
Guldensuppe in Germany, but will try
to prove there. were marks on Gulden-
suppe’s body which are not on the body
of the dead man.
Thorn’s favorite occupation since he
has been in jail is card playing. He
has kept up his interest day after day.
DEATH MAY END SLEEP.
Peculiar Case of a New Jersey Wom-
an Who Cannot Be Aroused.
Burlington, N. J., Ndv. 5.——Worrying
relatives and physicians surround the
bedside of Mrs. Thomas Gandy, who
for five days has laid in a deep sleep
at her home in Oxmead road. All ef-
forts to arouse her have failed, and it
is feared that she will glide from sleep
to death without regaining conscious-
ness.
The case puzzles medical men. Mrs.
Gandy was taken ill some time ago,
and her malady seemed to be yielding
to treatment until‘Sunday. During the
afternoon she dropped off to slumber,
and when night fell was still sleeping
soundly.
No alarm was felt until the attend-
ing physician arrived. He-observed
that the sleep was unnatural, and at;
tempted to arouse the patient.- He
could not do so, and called another
doctor. ’ '
The doctors'worked through sunday
night and Monday, but all their efforts
were futile. Mrs. G’andy remained ab-
solutely unconscious. 'tShe seems to be
growing Weaker, and her family have
been warned to prepare for her death.
v SCORES OF LIVES LOST.
Panic in a Russian Church Resulted
in Seventy-font Deaths.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 5.——Details of
the terrible casualty of Oct. 26 last in
the village church at Khmieleff, in the
Kozloff district, on the western coast
of the Crimea. in Southern Russia,
when an alarm of fire was raised, show
that a panic ensued resulting in the
death of seventy-four persons and the
severe injury of 160 others.
The alarm of fire was due to the
lighting of candles at the .moment
when the windows were opened to al-
low the clouds of vapor to escape from
the packed and steaming congregation.
The crowd outside thought the altar
screen was burning. the cry of fire was
raised and an uncontrollable panic fol-
lowed.
There was no medical help Do be had
nearer than Kozloff, several miles
away.
MARRIED IN A CAGE 0F LIONS.
Bride and Groom. Stood in the Cage, but
the Clergyman Stood Outside.
Boston, Nov. 5.—-Miss Louise Char-
lotte Wi’berg and Arthur H. Andrassy
were married last night at the Zoo
while standing in a den of lions. The
clergyman. a well-known Methodist di-
vine, stood outside the cage. The mar-
ried couple exhibited splendid nerve
throughout the entire performance,
which lasted about ten minutes.
The beasts displayed some curiosity
over the strange event which they were
witnessing, but beyond a little sniffing,
made no attempt to harm either of the
pair. John E. Tlnkham. a music teach-
er of this city, played a wedding march,
and a chorus of twenty boys~alss-isted.
A large crowd was in attendance.

against free silver in Kentucky and
been a pronounced gold Democratic
organ for three years, has announced

Health is Happiness.»
Health is at the bottom of happi-
ness. The man or woman who is per- ,
fectly well, enjoys life like a child.
1 Healthy people do not appreciate the
fact that the country is full of un-
happy eople—people who are sick
with s in ailments, kidney and
urinary diseases,“ liver troubles,
stomach disorders. If they knew
of all this suffering, their hearts
would go out in sympathy.
