Suffocated by Gas.

CHICAGO, October 29.-The residents of
Hyde Park are having much difficulty with
their gas. Within the last seven days six
people have been asphy1iated and ten others
narrowly escaped suff0cation. The gas,
which is largely used for fuel, is oderless. The
pressure is Sc low that in places where the
people had retired leaving the gas burning
the Jets we're extinguished. Later the pres
sure increased and the houses became filed
with gas. A dozen cases we're reported where
all the inmates of the house narrowly es-
capped death. The coroner's jury censured
the gas company severely.

TO INDIANAPOLIS.
The Funeral Train Leaves Wash


The Funeral Train Leaves Wash
ington.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October N.-At ar
early hour Undertaken Spear was sent for
and Robert A. Parke. southeastern passenger
agent of the Pennsylvania railway, was also
summoned to await information of the wishes
of the president and his family in regard to
arrangements for the transportation of the
lead and the funeral party to Indianapolis.
Funeral services in Washington will be held
this morning. 1t is the special wish of the
family that the services shall be as private as
possible. The funeral will be q personal
and not public one.
As far as the official position of the presi-
dent will permit, the services will be the
same as those customary in the case of q
private family.
Invitations are strictly limited and no per-
sons will be allowed to be present without
them. The funeral services will undoubtedly
be held in the East room. THIS is the largest
room in the building and in fact the only
as private as those which the family desire.
They will be conducted according to the
Presbyterian forms, by Rev. DR.. Thomas
Hamlin, pastor of the Church of Covenant,
on Connecticut avenue, of which the presl-
dent and Mrs. Harrison have been regular
aCtenOanGSs line DOOy Will nOI lie In SGdCos
After services here the funeral party will
leave Washington at noon or soon thereafter
for Indianapolis, where services of more
public character will take place. It is prob
able that the funeral train will reach Indian
apolis early Friday morning, and at about
10 o'clock the church services will begin.
They will take place in the First Presbyterian
church of Indianapolis, on the corner of
New York and Pennsylvania streets. The
Rev. DR.. NJ. L Haines, pastor of that church,
will officiate. The body will then be taken
TO Crown Hill cemetery and inferred, after
which the president will return to Washing
ton.
The president has no lot in the cemetery,
but the telegraph has been called into use
and by this means a selection of last rest.
ing place for the loved wife will be made.
The postponement of the services until to-
day has necessitated delay involved in max
ing these arrangements at a long distance.
Private Secretary Halford, who is in charge
of these arrangements, emphasizes the state
ment that the services in the White house
will be strictly and absolutely private. It is
the earnest wish of the president and tho
family, also the wish of the dead women her
self, who was IN life averse to public core
monies. Only the kinsmen of the president
and his late wife, probably the members of
the cabinet and their families and q very
few intimate friends, are hidden to the fu-
neral services here.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.

The New Union Depot-Effective
Closing Up Of the Downtown Pool
Rooms.
81. LOUIS, October 31.-The birth of 4
suspicion in tho minds of tho Board of Pub
lie improvements that the terminal roads
which are building the new Union depot in
tended to gobble up part of street has led
to q very full explanation of the plans of
the company. 1t was known that the build
ing was to occupy the greater part of block,
and that it was to be the largest affair of the
sort in the country, but the full scope of the
plans was not understood. It develops now.
the structure beng half finished, that its cost
will be close to a million dollars, with orna-
mentation as elaborate as an art museum.
Four or five hundred trains a day will pass
in and out of the depot when it is finished.
The first cars will discharge their passengers
in it before the lights blaze in the streets of
the city next fall.
There ID far greater demand in st. Louis
for expert electricians than can be filled, and
good men of this sort are almost naming
their own salaries. Gas for lighting, steam
for engines, and horses and cables for street
cans are being abandoned generally, and
electric plants are being put in everywhere.
There are two interesting signs of this situa-
ton. One Is the establishments of q night
school for mechanical engineers, where they
are taught to apply their knowledge to cleo
trio machinery, and the other is the organiza-
ton of an electrical society, composed of
electrical inventors and scientists. This
opened its first meeting the other night with
. banquet at which there were 106 plates.
The passage of the law by the Missouri
Legislature, forbidding betting in the state
on races in other states, has had a curious
result here. St. Louis has always had ono
first class race track. the one at the fair
grounds, which is under the control of the
Jockey club. Under the old conditions, too,
there was one other out in Forest Park,
where amateur trials of speed were had. The
new law has brought into existence three
moro tracks, one in the southern part of the
city, where the racing by electric light was
done at night last summer; another in East
St Louis, just across the river: and the third
across the river, too, near Madison. The
company at tho back Of this last enterprise
have built passenger depot at the foot of
Olive street, and run trans over the river
every afternoon, while the racing is going
on, at intervals of half an hour. The great
races of the city out at the fair grounds
track take place in the spring and fall, and
% soon a. they stop these other tracks begin
their winter racing. On the two tracks across |
the river, of course, the Museum law doesn't |
apply, and the book-makers swarm there to |
get bets on the Eastern races. The tracks |
are patronized principally by the st. LOUIS |
people. and % the law accomplishes nothing
but the breaking up of the pool-rooms in the |
business alleys down town. This, by the |
way. was the primary object of the Legislators |
who had it passed.

Judge Brewers Decision Discussed.
CHICAGO, October N.-Railroad men here
are not of one mind in regard to the merits
of Judge Brewers decision, permitting any
sort Of joint tariffs to be made by connecting
lines, without in the least affecting the local
rates of those lines. None of them has seen
all that has been printed in the newspapers,
the majority of them are inclined to the be-
lief that 1t is scarcely well-considered con-
clusion.
The vice-presldent of a western road, who
is regarded as one of the ablest railroad men
in tho country, sai6: 81 can scarcely bs-
lieve that the abstracts of the decision which
have read, contain all the essential points
set forth in it IF 90, however, must say
viii benefit the American roads in meeting
Canadian competition, but it's effect also.
will be to cause friction between American
lines. Judge Brewer. if I understand his do
cision, says that two or more lines may join
in making q through line, and may make
such propoEtionAte rates a. they please with
out changing their local rates in the least
Yet one continuous line, owned by ono com
pany, running between tho same points,
must observe the long and short haul clause
of tho interstate commerce law. That d, Il
cannot mako q through rate lower than the
rate to any intermediate point on its road.
For instance. the CHICAGO d Alton and
the Union Paicfc may make any through
rata they like between Chicago and Topeka,
while the Santa Ee road, having IT'D own line
to Topeka, can only make rate that Is not
lower than its rate to the Missouri river.
Again, the Michigan Central. the Lake Shore,
the Wabash and other roads may join In

dicament suggested by Colonel Mcclure.
They would know no other solution than
the attempt to buy the states West Vir-
ginia, Connecticut and Delaware with
their fifteen electoral votes. That would
give 223 votes, just one more than a
majority, provided Colonel DUPONT did
not switch of again for Cleveland with
his independent friend Merrihew. There
are more reasons why Colonel DUPONT
should wheel away from the Republican
party now than there We're in 1884 and
'sS It has all the faults now that It
had then and more. In addition to that,
instead of friend Merrihew, alone, the
colonel would have hundreds Of inde.
pendent Republicans Of Delaware as com
pany and thousands of the purest and
ablest men-the MacVeaghs, Greshams.
and Bartols-all over the land to prevent
him from feeling lonesome.
