entered Harrison walked up to How

him at arms length with e.hand.. while
with the other he drew from his over
coat pocket dog whip and dashed
Howard over the head and shoulders.
When Harrison first seized Howard, the
latter removed his eye glasses and made
pass at his assailant. The blow. how
ever, was warded of. Harrison, who is
theatrical manager, then admins
tered blows quickly with the dog whip.
Harrison. when questioned about the
matter, declined to say more than this
:" Howard has been warned of this mat

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Fowler, the Big Chicago Pork Packer
Held for Perjury.


Held for Perjury.
Robert D. Fowler, the well-known
Board of Trade member and president
of the Anglo American Packing and
Provision Company, was held to the
criminal court at Chicago, on the I'd, ON
the charge of perjury. In 1888, John
Baier, an employe at the packing house
at the stock yards, lost his hand
in q sausage machine. He
brought suit for damages, but
when, in 1884, the case came mp
for hearing Mr.. Fowler testified that
the packing-house was not the property
of Fowler Brothers, against whom the
suit was brought, out of the Anglo
American Packing and Provision Com
pany. A non-suit was taken and suit
was commenced against the Anglo
American Packing and Provision Com
pany and Fowler Brothers jointly.
This case resulted during 1886 in
judgment to Baier for $1,000.
The claim was turned over to the
sheriff for collection, but Mr.. Fowler
informed that officer that the Anglo
American Packing and Provision Com
pany owned no property anC that it
was all owned by new concern en-
titled the Anglo-American Provision
Company. A creditors bill was filed
and In answer Mr.. Fowler said that
the new company had succeeded the
old some months previously. In
a suit last spring it is alleged that
Mr.. Fowler claimed that the property
was and always had belonged to Fowler
Bros. Then followed the charges of
perjury. This phase of the matter con-
sumed several days in the court. After
the decision was announced Mr.. Fowler
gave bonds in the sum of $500 for his
appearance before the grand jury.

BLOWING OUT THE GAS.
Tho Victim Not Always Guilty of Absent
Mlndedncss or Ignorance.

Mlndedncss or Ignorance.
Attention is periodically directed to
cases of asphyxia resulting from $50 1t is
always termed blowing ont the gas, ~
1.-THE victim being charged with absent
mindedness or ignorance which allowed
him to e%Xtinguish the flame by blowing,
and then go to bed to breathe the escaping
gas until dead.
1t is my conviction that In most of
these cases the gas was not blown out.
This belief Is the result of my experience
II observation. These difficulties, / have
learned, may easily arise by the dying OF
the flame when turned low. Army house
/ have n burner which behaves well dur
ing warm weather, but which invariably
goes out within n half hour when turned
low during cold weather. Once, while
living in another house, | retired in the
evening and left the gas burning low for
my room mate, who had not returned.
Instead of returning he stayed with n
friend, so tho gas received no attention
until morning. Then there was no flame,
but the gas was escaping. IL so happened
that the windows were open sufficiently to
give me fresh air and save me from the
discredit OF being listed among those who
"blew out the gas.n In this case, since
the windows were open, 1t may he that n
light breeze blew out the flame, but |
IiNC llOltb NiNNh III "IlNH lIlt gus WIS tN-
tinguished, without blowing, in closed
rooms.
A little reflection will enable us to see
that n low flame may readily go out.
When the flame is low, the pressure I'M
der which the gas issu from the tip of
the burner is very light, hence the flame
Is weak and the heat maintained therein
Is low, perhaps, but n little above what is
required to sustain combustion. Hence
n little breath of mir may for nm instant
reduce such heat TO less thnn the combus-
ton temperature. When his occurs
combustion ceases, and there is no heat
present TO restore it. or course the gas
continues { flow without burning, and
may in n few hours suffocate the occu-
pant OF the room IL he be asleep.
This weak flame may also be extin-
guished without the breath of air above
mentioned. Suppose the pressure of gas
he but for an instant interrupted, Then
the flow from the burner will for an in
slant cease and the dame go out; or II for
an instant vapor of water issues from the
burner, then the flame will go out and the
unburned gas afterward I'LL the room.
Most of these cases of sufrocation oc-
cur in the rooms of hotels or elsewhere
where the victims are strangers and alone.
Being thus situated, many timid people
prefer TO sleep with a burning light. They
therefore turn the gas low, and in occa-
stonal cases it goes ont, as | have eN-
planned above
The moral which l believe you should
present 70 the public IS; Either let the gas
burn strong W turu il entirely sut Do
not turn il low when You 30 10 sleep

Tho educated man or womnn of the
