Very few more remarkable coinci-
dences can be raked up than that
which occurred at the Russell house.
Detroit, recently. Two strangers to
the town, and strangers to one an
other, residents of two different
countries, but both bearing identical
names, met instantaneous death in
the same city, under the same roof
and on the same day, A. II. Whitney
of Toronto, Canada. and A ii. Whit
ney Of Quincy, H., died suddenly. the
one of pulmonary consumption and
the other of apoplexy. There was not
anything notable IN the death of
either one of these men. With the
consumptive death was a matter of
days or weeks at the most. The apo
plectic went the way of many another
victim of this intense generation. The
remarkable feature of these deaths lay
in the coincidence of the victims bear
ing the identical name and dying I'M
der the same roof on the same day.
