Col, YESTERDAY

Yesterday afternoon, Arthur :. Aims
worth, of the 5. r. Bennett Fuel and
Ice Company, received a dispatch from
Colorado Springs, Col, saying: ''Mr.
Bennett died suddenly Of heart disease,

shock to Mr.. Ainsworth than it was to
thousands Of the citizens OF Grand Rap
ids, when the intelligence passed rapid
ly from mouth 10 mouth throughout
the city.

wife whose life has been obbing away
for the past three years, and the study
of whose comfort has been his only
| domestic Joy. He Joined ms wife only
to step on before her in the mysterious
| journey.
The absence Of all members Of Mr..

| ously been IN business IN this city at the
| time he first engaged in the coal and
! fuel trade. So itmay be fairly assumed
| that he was among the very earliest Of
| the coal dealers of the city, If not the
/ father Of the business.
| The personal character OF Mr.. Ben
nett was Of the sort which elicits not
! the esteem only but the warm affeciionl
of acquaintance. The TELEGRAM-HER-
/ AID has asked n number OF Mr.. Ben

the invarIable result has been a sad in
competency to utter the deep feeling Of

were legion, and the testimony of his

wide spread. 1t is said that hIs secret

AUBURN, y. Y, Aug. 5.-At s O'Clock
this evening the doctors, scientists and
electricians were summoned by the
warden 20 witness Kemmler' execution.
They assembled IN the warden's Office
TO hold a convention about arrange
ments for an autopsy and the most ap-
prOpriate time for holding the execution
On the first point there were few DIFF
ferences of opinion. DIR. Daniel, of
Buffalo. one of the best known surgeons
IN the United States, was CHOSEN TO DO
the actual work on the autopsy, with
Or. Spitza and Or. Mcdonald as assist
ants. When the discussion OF the sec
Ond point at issue, the best time for the
execution, was taken up, there was a
WIDE difference of opinion. The warden
finally said the doctors had
better leave their addresses
with hm and whenever he wanted
them, he would send for them. The
time OF the execution Is thus left in
vague uncertainty. Kemmler spent
the day quietly, and no sign was gwen
hlm of has impending doom. Rev. DIR.
HoughtOn and the chaplain of the
prison will be with Kemmler tonight,
at the latter's request. Two of
the doctors who took part in the con-
sultation, said that while the matter
was left entirely in Warden Durston's
hands, their impression was that the ex-
ecution would not occur until tomOr-
row morning or tomorrow night. None
OF the doctors expect TO be called out
of bed tonight.

VIM. Seccomb is Crushed by Barrel or
Oil.
Yesterday was certainly n day of sad
accidents for Grand Rapids. The ex-
element of the almost fatal runaway
had hardly died out, before another
accident that may result fatally was
recorded.
George W. Smith, the ianitor of the
Court block, on Lyon-st., received n
barrel of oil. which he wished to place
IN the basement. AS it was necessary
for him to have some help, he called
on VIM. Seccomb, fireman, of the new
Houseman block, TO help HIM. They
were advised TO procure 4 plank to
slide the barrel down to the basement,
but as none was handy, they concluded
to try and put 1t down without one.
They had lowered 1t successfully
about half way, when they lost control
of the barrel, and SeccOmb, being IN
front, was thrown violently down, and
the heavy OF. receptacle passed over MS
head, crushing his right jaw and
temple.
He was removed to st. Mark 5 Hospital
and at midnight had not regalned con-
sciousness, and the prospects for his re-
coveTy are untavOrable.
The unfortunate man lived with his
wife and little boy IN the new House
man block. where he bad been fireman
for two years. The wife Is prostrated
with grief, and kind friends are doing
all they can to comfort her.

dollar (silver), having an eagle ON each

was issued under the coinage act Of 1899.

the same eagle. One face of this coin is
like all others Of its issue. Upon the re,
verse, however, the eagle and the letter

stamped there by another coin.
My theory is that the coin cut just
previous to this one stuck to the die.

The Pastors victory.

Many years ago, when drinking habits
were more prevalent than now, Con.
gregational minister in York county
preached a very strong temperance ser.
mon that made sensation in the parish.
Some of the leading members of the con.
gregation felt insulted. They got up
and left the house during the Sermon
and then sent a letter demanding an
apology or the preachers resignation
The next Sunday the pastor announced
from the pulpit that he would comply
with the gentlemen's request in the even
ing. OF course, everybody who could &C
to the church that evening was there,
the disaffected ones with smiles ON theiI
faces at the thought of how they had
triumphed over the minister. The wor.
thy man assembled the pulpit, went
through the preliminary exercises, and
then announced his text: "And being
convicted by their own consciences they
went out one by one" The sermon
preached from that text was sumner
but nothing more was said about an
apology, and the minister did not resign.

Shoes That Must Not Be Worn.

If man going on board yacht

nation to ''have at him" with the first

shoes in which there are rough nails. A

opinion that the chief occupation of q

Certain it is that ON most pleasure craft
they show q deal Of labor and are the

shoes to wear are low ones of canvas or

Wet decks are almost to be compared
with banana peels, and without rubber
