Many People Partially AsPhyxiated
 Housed by PatroImen.
 DETROIT, Dec. 2.-The natural gas supply was suddenly shut of last night through out the city, owing to an accident. When the regular flow was resumed the gas per meated the houses of many families, the inmates being all asleep. Many persons were partially hyxiated. Safety valves on the meters undoubtedly saved many lives. Patrolmen reused up half the town and the firemen were on the alert. Charles Kergan and Mrs. May Greenel, wife of Rev. MT. Greenel, were both seriously burned this morning by striking lights in rooms where gas had accumulated.

 HANOVER, N. H., Dec. 2.-That Almy, now under sentence of death for the fiend- ish murder of Christie Warden, has friends, who may also have been accomplices, as some people have always believed before or after the tragedy, is isconclusively shown by letters which Miss Fannie Warden is receiving. The last of these cowardly communications sent this young lady, who so bravely faced the assassin's revolvers with the hope of affording her sister some protection, and who gave such damaging testimony at the trial, is filled with threats and warns her that Christie's fate will also be hers. It is signed "Jack-the- Ripper"

A Falling Limb From a Tree
Strikes Henry Hess in The

Is th, they were at work in patch of woods
a few miles south of Holgate. A large
hickory was crushing to the ground and in
it's course the branches must necessarily
come in contact with smaller trees. A
large limb struck against neighborin 6
tree and breaking off, sprung back with
fearful force striking Henry Hess square in
the face.
He was crushed to the earth-a bleeding
mutilated corpse.
His head was nearly torn from his shoul-
diers while the face was mashed to an un-
recognizable mass.
The terrorized companion quickly sum
moned aid but to no avail;-the unlucky
woodsman had died instantly, not ever
knowing that he was injured nor recogniz-
ing the cause of his death, He had fallen as
he had 30 often, with sturdy limb and sharr

fall, never to rise. .
At 1.-THE request of relatives Squire Schwah

above given.

Facts Regarding Coin.

Ii q person possesses one hundred
gold dollars and one hundred silver
dollars, he can buy as much of common
merchandise with one as with the
other. If he melts the one hundred
gold dollars into bar the bullion is
worth one hundred dollars still, be-
cause he can present it at the mint and
have itcoined into dollars. But, if he
melts his one hundred silver dollars
into bar the bullion will be worth
eighty odd dollars-its commercial
value-because he cannot present it at
the mint and have it again coined in
to dollars. By melting 1t he has oblit-
Grated the government stamp of value
of the silver and he cannot again have
it restored by free coinage as he could
on gold.
From the establishment of the first
mint until 1873 silver and gold were
coined free, and both coins were legal
| tender. The amount ofpure silver in q
standard dollar has never been chang.
ed. The amount of gold in gold dol
lar has been changed twice. During
the eighty-eight years of free coinage
previous to 1873 the f1uctuation In the
commercial value of gold bullion was
equal to that of silver. In 1873 when
silver was demonetized, a silver dol.
lar was paying two cents more of for.
eign debts than gold dollar would
pay, and for that reason silver dollars
left the country as fast as coined, and
gold dollars accumulated just in pro-
portion to the amount offOreign debts
paid with silver, for all foreign debts
except by exchange of Indebtedness -
must be paid in coin. During the war
a large amount of government bonds
were issued, and to encourage the sale
OF them they were made payable in
gold. The bonds Were brought with
deprecated currency and payable in
gold at premium. But if the premi-
um on gold could not be maintained.
then the bond holders advantage
would be lost. IF the bond holders
get rid of the silver dollar which was
paying foreign debts along with gold
then gold would have to pay all for
eign debts, and the ammount could be
80 reduced as to make it possible to
hold it at premium. And for this
purpose American. German and En-
glish bond holders contrived the de-
monetizing act. Silver was standing
guard over the rise ofgold, and the
sole object of the demonetizing act was
to compel the payment of all foreign
debts with gold. The object has been
fully accomplished. And yet the gold
subsidized press have the audacity to
tell us that free coinage of silver would
drive all the gold out of the country.
No wonder that such hypocrisy In
obedience to Wall street should have
killed sensitive man like Window. -

THE WORLDS HOLIDAYS.
Two Occasions That Are Universally
Observed Among Civilized
Nations.

Christmas ana new ear
Day have a common interest
with every civilized nation ex-
tant. The one originates in
Divinity, while the other is, to
a certain extent, the creation
of man alone as a means OF
measuring time; the one, the
birthday Of Christ-the other,
the birthday of another year.
For 1890 years both have
been observed, still the inter
est and Joy attendant to their
return each year do not
wane,-instead, they are al
ways on the increase, In A

reached it's acme, where all Is

Sin it,, these great days re-
ceive due respect in many diff
1 ferent ways, more marked in
cities than in a town like Ma
poleon. For instance, in Gin
cinnati last year the Clncinna-
ii PosT assisted by the good
citizens Of the Queen City, as
sembled together fully 5000
fatherless and penniless waits

present and a bag OF sweet
