Child ScALDED.-Ou Monday evening
an infant child Of "Loke" Snyder, who
lives on Sixteenth street, East Wheeling,
was severely scalded by accidentally over
turning a kettle Of hot water upon It's per-
son. Mrs. Snyder was busy at the wash
tub, and did not notice the child, who,
while left alone for few minutes, pulled
the kettle from the stove as stated. The
little sufferer, who is only about two and
n half years old, was badly scalded upon
the right side OF the body and the lower
limbs, It's injuries, however, are not CON.
sidered OF a serious character.

lie Knew all About Gas.

When man who has lost the sense If
smell and is 50 abnorn.ally suspicious OF
burglars that he has carefully armed
himself against them, blows out the gas
at midnight IN his room ut the hotel,
what in the world is the bravest porter
to do with him? Mr.. Gresselmann, Of
Texas, is such a man. When the porter
lighted nm to bed, he was asked if he
understood gas, and replied Indignantly,
"Well, should SMILE" Two hours lat
er the oder of escaping gas proceeded out
of his room into the hall, and porter
raped him up, asking him to turn it off.
For this the porter was ordered away,
with threats Of shooting, but he insisted
that the gas should be turned of. Bang,
went pistol shot followed soon by an
other. The proprietor was called, but
every entreaty he made Was met by 9TH
er shots until fourteen had been fired.
At last some policemen burst open the
door Of the room and found Mr.. Gressel-
mann sitting TN the bed loading his
pistol for another attack. lie had
about $50, and, as he could not smell
he knew nothing OF the escaping gas, and
imagined the people outside were trying
to rob him of his money.
