The pressure that can be produced by
generation OF gas in closet
space has recently been tested by a
French scientist. The highest pressure
heretofore realized was 6570 pounds to
the square inch. In this instance the
pressure obtained was between IL, 900
and $4,000 to the square inch, when the
manometer cracked without any explo-

HAMILTON, o., Nov. q. -News reached
here at noon that Gran Vorhis, aged 40,
of Sharonville, held up DIR. j. w. Cor
nell at his residence, covered him with
shotgun, and caused him to sign a
check in his (Voorhis) favor for $780,
Next Voorhis went to Grover Brown, of
Sharonville, and, covering him with mis-
shotgun, made him write out check for
81 600. Then Voorhis went to Under
taker Vorhis and demanded that he
write check for similar amount, but
Vurhis talked him out of it. Voorhis,
the robber, then went to DIR. Smither's
office and demanded check for 81 900
under penalty of death. At this point
a constable arrested him. Some Sharon
willie residents are charitable enough to
believe Voorhis is crazy.
