been missing, but their absence attracted
no very particular attention until yes
terday, when Ambrose's half-brother,
by whom the latter was employed, at
tempted to find him, that he might re-
pair his engine. Upon entering the
rooms in the tenement where Ambrose
and wife lived, horrible spectacle was
presented. Mrs. Ambrose lay dead
on straw pallet on the floor.
and in a corner of the room lay
the husband in the final stages
of delirium tremens. The body of the
woman was turned over to the coroner,
and Ambrose was taken to the hospital.
The physicians say he will die. A
week ago last Thursday Mrs. Ambrose
informed her neighborS that was the
tenth anniversary of her and her huSb-
and's wedding, and told them that they
had arranged to celebrate the event
in ''grand style" as she expressed
it. Ambrose laid in a stock of whisky,
and he and his wife celebrated the mar
riage anniversary by drinking, keeping
it up whenever they awoke from their
drunken stupors for ten days. During
the week succeeding neither of them
ate a mouthful OF food. The Deighbors
of the unfortunate couple say
that Mr.. and Mrs. Ambrose were
in the habit of getting drunk for
ten days at a time ABOUT every two
months. They would lock themselves
in their rooms and admit no one. Dur
ing these debauches they never quar-
relied and always appeared to be very
fond of one another. The corOner's
jury brought in verdict to-day that
Mrs. Ambrose died Of alcoholism and
starvation.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia good-looking
young woman from Australia arrived in
Chicago last night after 10,000-mile

long after serving term in Joliet

a drummer for Chicago meat firm,

fectSeparate Homestead Claims.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Land Com
missioner Croft has rendered a decision
in the case of May Barr, formerly
WassOn, a resident of the Mitchell,
Oak, land district. 1t appears from
the testimony that. in July, 1885, Mrs.
Barr, then resident of the state of
Iowa, went to Dakota on a visit to a
friend, and while there was informed
that a certain eighty acres adjoining a
tract then recently entered by Michael
Barr, was subject to homestead entry.
She accordingly entered it, purchased
a small house and had it moved on her
claim, broke one acre and made other
improvements. At that time, she says
in her testimony, she had no intention
of marrying Mr.. Barr, but later they
married.
When they moved the houses up close to-
gether on the line and sodded them up all
around on the outside, making them one
house; that Mr.. Barr put his bed, stove, table,
etc., in his; and that she put bed, stove,
table, ETC., in hers; that no means of COM
munication existed between the two different
parts of the house except by going ontside.
each part having an outside door; that she
acted in good faith in making the entry, not
knowing Michael Barr at the time, and hav-
ing no understanding that it was to be kept
in the Barr family; that she complied with
the homestead law fully.
Mrs. Bars claim is rejected on the
ground that husband and wife cannot
maintain separate residences at the
same time and in the same house, so
that each, by virtue of said residence,
may perfect an entry under the home
stead law. 1t is said that there are a
number of cases in the general land
Office similar in all important respects
to the case of Mrs. Barr.

BURNED TO A CRISP.
A Mother and three Children
Cremated by Natural Gas.

BRADFORD, Pa. Oct. 1.-At Davis
Switch. smaIluvillage thirteen miles
from this place, the dwelling of Patrick
Daily was burned, and his wife and
three sons, aged thirteen, eleven and
nine respectively, were roasted in the
flames. At 6 O'Clock last night, while
the Daily family were at supper, the
father stepped to the cook stove to turn
off part of the gas. He unintentionally
shut the throttle tight, and on turning
it on again the house was filled with
gas. An explosion followed, and in an
instant the entire house was in flames.
The three boys and the mother fell
PROSTATE on the floor overcome by the
heat and flames. Mr.. Daily rushed out
of the house to call assistance, but all
his efforts to save the unfortunate in
mates were futile. The house was en-
tirely consumed in few moments. The
charred and blackened bodies of the
four victims presented Sickenlng sight.
Mrs. Daily's limbs were burned from
her body, and her inteStineS exposed to
view. Her flesh was cooked to the
bones. The three sons were not as hor-
ribly burned as the mother, but their
blackened bodies could not be identified
until placed side by side. The gas
pressure was very strong. the gas pipe
running directly from nelghbOring oil
well to the cooking stove. Mr.. Daily is
seriously but not fatally burned about
the face, and is almost craZed with
grief.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 1.-THE Knights

SHORTAGE OF SILVER.
Urgent Need for Increasing the
Coinage of Dollars.

Urgent Need Tor Increasing the
Coinage of Dollars.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ia statement
prepared at the treasury department
shows that the total amount of standard
silver dollars in the treasury against
which certificates may be issued is
5,076,171. Of the total coinage of 341,-
199,65O silver dollars, there is in
the treasury 2S2, ,S29, ,333, against
which there is in circulation
S277, ,735, 1872 of certificates. The amount
of standard dollars in circulation is S.
370,31 and the amount of silver certifi-
Gates in the treasury is S2,5S2, ,205. The
gradual decrease of the silver balance is
being urged upon the administration as
an argument in favor of an increase in
the coinage of silver dollars to the
maximum limit of 100000
mouth. Under the present system
the minimum limit of 100000 dol
lars only is coined. 1t was rumOred
that the cabinet meeting to-day cOnsid-
cred proposition to increase the coin
age of silver dollars, but Secretary Win
dom said this afternoon that there was
no foundation whatever for such
rumor, as the silver question had not
even been ment oned at the meet
ing. 1t was explained by another
official of the department that the de-
crease in silver balance was due to the
recent heavy demand for notes of small
denominations for use in the regular
fall trade, but as this demand has been
fully met there is now every reason to
expect a reaction which will naturally
strengthen the silver balance.
