AsPHYx1ATED BY GAS.
Ono Girl Dead and Two In Dangerous
Condition.

PROVIDENCE, R. l.. Oct. 9.-Maggie
Keating, q domestic employed at a
Franklin street boarding house, was
found dead in bed at o'clock yesterday
morning. On the floor of the same
room were found Alice Donovan and
Julia Lehan unconscious. The room
was full of gas that was pouring out Of
The burner in the room. The alarm was
given, the girls removed from the room
and efforts made to resuscitate them. A
physician who arrived on the scene at
once pronounced the Heating girl as he
yond aid, but found signs of life in the
others. Additional help was summoned,
and after long efforts the girls showed
signs of reviving. They were then re-
moved to the hospital, but have not vet
sufficiently recovered to tell their story.
The Franklin street house is fashion,
able boarding house. On account of re-
pairs being made the servants quarters
were somewhat upset which made it
necessary FOR the servants to occupy one
room. 1t was for this reason that the
keahng, Donovan and Lehan girls slept
together. Their room was small for
three to occupy, and was located on the
fifth floor.
The Donovan and Lehan girls retired
at o'clock in the evening, and about an
hour later Maggie keating went upstairs
to bed. What happened after that no
body is able to tell, but the supposition
is that Miss Heating, who has been in
this country but five months. either blew
out the gas or did not turn it COM
pletely off.

A BATTLE IN DAHoMEY.
The French Win a Decisive Victory
from the Natives,


PARIS, Oct. S.-Colonel Dodds, the
commander of the French forces oper-
ating against King Behanzin, of Da-
honey, has telegraphed to the minister
of marine giving an account of battle
between his command and the Dahomey-
ans on Oct. a. He states that the at
tack was made on the above date. The
day preceding was devoted to opening a
road through the forest surrounding
Ghede, the place where the engagement
took place, and the French were thus
enabled to execute q flank movement
against the natives and deploy their
forces before the Dahomeyans were able
to attack them.
The natives occupied strong position,
and desperate fight followed the at
tack. A thick brushwood surrounded
the Dahomeyan position, and afforded
some protection to the attacking force
The battle lasted for an hour, at the end
of which time the Dahomeyans fled in
disorder and wore pursued by the
French. The natives, however, being
familiar with the country, found little
difficulty in making their escape, few
being taken captive.
During the fight five Europeans and
three Senegalese were killed, and TWEEN
ty-three Europeans and thirteen natives
Were wounded. The enemy's loss is un-
known, but they left on the field 200
dead, including twenty of the kings
Alnazons. These bodies were all counted
within ten yards of the French lines, in
dicating the bravery with which the Da-
homeyans fight. Two hundred repeat
ing rifles were found on the field. This
fact will add to the grievance France has
against Germany, for the French claim
that King Behanzin, besides the 1000
rifles allowed him by treaty, has an al
most equal number of Winchesters and
other repeating rifles that have been fur
nished him by German traders.

a Break In Rates to the DedicatoKy
Exercises at Chicago.
New YORK, Oct. S.-The executive
committee of the Trunk Line associa-
ton will meet week from next Wednes-
day to consider the question of passenger
rates to the Worlds fair, which the
passenger committee were unable to
agree upon at its last meeting. 1t is con-
fidently expected that some definite
understanding will be reached, as there
Is little or no difference of opinion in re-
gard to the rates of fare. The obstacle
which prevented an agreement was the
kind of tickets which should be used.
In speaking Of the matter I. p. Farmer,
chairman of the passenger committee,
said
ssAll the talk of discrimination against
New York is absurd. The rates from
other cities will be in the same proper
tion. We are pretty well agreed on a
rate, and while nothing has been defin-
itely settled, may say that the rates
prepared varied from one and one-third
to one and one-half fares for the round
trip. This has always been considered a
fair rate and is the customary one
CHICAGO, Oct. s.-The first break in
rates to the Worlds fair dedicatory ex-
erGises is announced by the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
companies. These roads are to make one

ward.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Oct. s.-A dastardly
attempt was made to murder in their
beds about forty non union men. Dyna-
mite was the agency resorted to, and
that 1t failed was due to the force of the
explosion being expended downward.
The explosion was so severe that it was
felt in camp, and the front part of tho
Mansion House was wrecked.
Mrs. Marion keeps boarding estab-
hshment frequented by non-union men,
which is located at the corner of Amity
street and Fifth avenue. 1t belongs to
the Coke estate, and is known as the
Mansion House. Shortly after 2 o'clock
this morning, when the mill workers
were all asleep, they were suddenly
awakened by an explosion which over
turned their beds, scattered furniture
around the rooms and broke window
panes and croRery ware. They were all
shocked and greatly frightened, fearing
they had been attacked and were going
to be killed.

PITTsBURa, Oct. s.-An appeal is to be
1Yrade from the decision of Chief Justice
PExson to the Allegheny county courts,
An the matter of the amount of bail de-
snAnded for the charges of treason lodged
against the thirty-three members of the
Homestead advisory board. Justic Pax
son merely signed the order, "ex-officio
Justice of the peace" in fixing the bail.
Ihe appeal, therefore, will not be an ap-
peal from decree of the supreme court.
but simply from the order OF Judge Pax
npa as justice of the peace. The ground
of the appeal will be that excessive bail
wAs demanded. Burgess McLuckie will
probably be chosen aa the one to make
Hhe test. The appeal will also be argued
on the general act prohibiting excessive

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. s.-State Chair
man Irwin, of the Peoples party, SAYS
there was fraud in the election. Ho
says: There was great deal of ballot
box stuffing. In Dougherty county it
was shameful. Out in Stockdale county
they offered $40 for negro votes. That's
the reason we got no help from the Re
publicans, who would naturally have
voted against the Democrats. Many of
the laboring men were told that they
would be discharged if they voted for
the Peoples party, and the railroads
gave the same notice to their employees"
