An Accident at the Detroit Gas Works

An Accident at the Detroit Gas Works
 Places Many Lives in Peril.
 DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 9.-The natural gas supply was suddenly shut off last night through the city owing to an accident and several families in different parts of the city suffered from partial asphyxiation.
 About two o'clock this morning the au- tomatic trip regulator at the distribut- ing station got out of order, shut off the flow of gas and extinguished all the lights and fires in the city. When the regular flow was resumed the gas per meated the houses of many families, the inmates of all of which were asleep. Safety valves on the meters undoubt- edly saved many lives.
 The manager notified the police of the danger and the patrol men reused up half the town. A call was also made upon the fire department, and all the men that could be spared were about the city, while the department remained upon the alert, expecting to be called out overy moment.
 Charles Kergan and Mrs. May Gren- ell, wife of the Rev. MT. Grenell, were both seriously burned this morning by striking lights in the presence of accu- mutations of gas. Members of other families are also reported suffering from partial asphyxiatlon.

well, and of equal interest to those Sec

'Resotued, That special committee of
twelve be appointed for the purpose of
consultation and conference with repre-
sentatives of these sections Of. the states
which would be most quickly and pei

Highland Grange Passes Resolutions o
the Death of Brother.


WHEREAs, It hath pleased the AL
mighty disposer of events, to remove
from our midst, on the third day of
February, 1891, Brother H. NJ. Baxter,
now, therefore
Resolved, By Highland Grange No.
206 of which he was master for time,
and served with honor to himself and
the grange, he was honored, beloved, and
respected by all the members thereof.
He was noted for his uniformly courteous
treatment of all in his presence, firm in
maintaining his convictions of what he
deemed right or wrong, he freely ex-
pressed them on all proper occasions,
yet ever treated those who differed
with him with all due courtesy and re-
spect. His mind was of no ordinary
mold. He possessed the faculty of ex-
pressing his views lucidly and forcibly,
on any matter he thought proper sub
ject for consideration. AS member of
Highland Grange he was bright and
faithful member, and will long be missed
from its councils.
ResolUed, That our charter be draped
in mourning sixty days and that a copy
of these resolutions be furnished for
publication to The Dalles CHRONICLE
and the Wasco County Sun and that a
copy be sent to the family of the
deceased, and also that these resolutions
be made a part of the minutes of High
land Grange.

Boat building in The Dalles.

/ I ! g u = j
Mr.. Alfred Kennedy and his son
Arthur are building in the yard of Mr..
Kennedy's residence on Ninth St., a
small steamer for plying between this
city and the Cascade Locks. Her ex-
treme length will be 40 feet with II foot
beam-oyer all-and carrying capacity
of ten tons. She will be equipped with
accommodations for passenger as well as
freight traffic. The keel, knees or ribs
stem and .stempost are in position giving
one good idea of her shape and general
appearance. ,. She is to be propelled by a
screw operated by sufficient powerful
engineers to enable her to do her work
well. A little further west, on the same
street at the shipyard of Mr.. W. J. JEFF
fers, beautiful canoe is receiving her
finishing touches. She is built upon the
Glide model, stem, stern and ribs all of
New York elm, imported for this pur-
pose. The planking is a quarter inch
fine, lapsteak and copper rivited. She
is 16 feet long, 311a inches wide, with a
depth from the hatch-combing of II to
IA inches, and will be rugged with a
lateen sail of the latest and most ap-
proved cut. Her mounting for rudder
etc., are nickle-plated. Her lines are
very fine, and the whole piece of work
we venture to say cannot be surpassed,
II equaled, in any shipyard on the coast.
Both jobs are highly creditable. Most
people locate their ship building, indus
tries at the waters edge, but these gen
tlemen prefer to build beneath the drip
OF their own caves, within easy sound
OF the dinner bell. 1t is plain case of
the mountain coming to Mahomet.

last words OF John B. GoughJ
CARRIE L. WALTON
'Boys, keep your record clean"
The lips of the speaker are mute,
But his words are still warning the boys
To stop in their mad pursuit;
To stop, say, in their mad pursuit
OF wealth and honor and fame,
To think of the devious winding ways
By which they shall reach the same.
"Boys, keep your record clean,'
Your lips unstained by sin,
Your lips as the lilies are,
And heart as pure within,
Fair as the virgin snow,
Spotless and undefiled,
Though around you the world is bright,
Or the pitiless storms beat wild.
AS you go out into the world.
Go with a purpose true,
60 with sturdy, resolute will;
Be one of the manly few.
Ever do that which is right,
Scorn to do that which is mean.
And you go through peace and strife,
'Boys, keep your record clean"

A Great Lady.

A great lady, in two senses, is Mrs.
Willard Miss Garrison, of Boston), who
is now residing in Berlin. She was in
vited recently to assist in the fair for the
charitable foundation patronized by the
crown princess of Prussia, and was asked
to fill the part of a barmaid. There are
numerous shining examples of Ameri-
cans in London having been "cast' for
such a part in that city, for the sale of
American drinks SO called. Mrs. Vii
lard, being on sufficiently friendly terms
with the crown princess to state her OBJ
jections, did so. and declined to assist in
such an occupation, even for charity's 8
sake. 1t is said that an apology was
made to her, but for that we do not
! vouch. She afterwards took her place
| in the fair at a buffet, where there was
nothing Objectionable in the service,
and it was noticed that the crown prince
and princess were frequent patrons at
her table, How many spoiled Ameri-
