being $50 or 200 miles. The matter has
been kept very quiet, though vigorous
preparations for further search have been

Prof, Aughey has returned from his
professional trip to Kentucky. The

cidently contracted in the Huntsville
smelter at Newport, Ky. A heavy run
of arsenic ore was being made, and
the professor was looking on in company
with two other gentlemen. Suddenly
the door of the furnace blew open, and
all three of the gentlemen largely inhaled
the dangerous escaping fumes.
