Two 1Id Ladies of White Plains Asphyx-

Two LId Ladies of White Plains AsphyK-
 iated-A Struggle for Life.
 WHITE PLAINS, N. T., March 1S.-Mrs. Moses Miller, 6S years old, and Mrs. Ann Julian, 60 years old, two weu-to-do sisters, living in . fine house owned by Mrs. Miller on Central avenue were found in bed in the morning almost dead from gas asphyxi- ation.
 The old ladies have been using dilapi- dated sSlf-feeding Parlor stove to heat their sitting room and bed room rather than the furnace in the cellar of the house. Before going to bed ono of ths sisters, in preparing the stove for the night, left it in such shape that the coal gas escaped into the room.
 Miss Mabel Hanler went to their rooms in the morning to deIver some purchases shs had made for them. She nocked sew eral times at their sitting room door, and, receiving no answer, opened the door and went in
 As she did so the gas nearly stifled her, but, realizing what had happened, she ran to a window and threw up the sash. Then she looked into the bed room and saw Mrs Miller lying with her face buried in the pillow and Mrs Julian with her body hali hanging out of the bed and her head nearly touching the floor.
 
 tried to arouse the old ladies, but wit hout success.
 She then ran out of the house calling fol help. She was answered by two women neiRhbors of the old ladies. These failed t4 revive them, and @ doctor was immediatel, summoned.
 For over three hours he and his assist ants worked necessarily, and finally Mrs Miller came te her senses. Shortly after ward she became unconscious, and, al though strong efforts were made to reviv' her, heT condition is very critical, and sh' ! may die at any moment. Mrs. Julians condition is also very crit ieaa. The fact that she lay with her heaC hanging down caused congestion, and he chances of recovery are very slim. All of forts to resusdtate her have proved of n \ avail.
 The doctor says that the recovery of tn women isvery doubtful.

A REMARKABLE phenomenon was ob- served in the town of Athens, O., late in the fall which has awakened wide interest, viz, continuous rain during Q succession of clear, beautiful days. This was noticed extending for considera- ble distance just below the crest of a hill, and lasted through the day from soon after sunrise till about sunset The drops of water were at no time large, but they reached their maximum size about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. It was soon determined that the phenomenon was due to the precip- itation of vapor which had been dis charged into the air from number of brick ovens which had recently been operated. Hot air laden with moisture was carried up the hill until it came Into contact with cold Currents, causing shs precipitation.

BE" Ns y, Original Attachment,
Hugh Stafford, before J. P.
From an Affidavit sworn out before
me by Ben Merck; it is appearing that
Hugh Stafford is justly indebted to
him in the sum of twenty dollars and
twenty-five cents, and it is further ap-
pesring that the said Hugh Stafford
is a Nonresident of the State of Tenn,
so that the ordinary process of law can
not be served on him, and it is also APP
bearing from the return of r. L. Daniel
ly Dept. Shift, that he has levied upon
one engine and boiler and one bucker,
as the property of the said Hugh Stat
ford. It is therefore ordered by me
that publicatation be made in the Law
renee Democrat, newspaper published
in Lawrenccburg, in the county of Law
renee and state of Tennessee, for four
consecutive weeks, requiring the de-
fendat Hugh Shattered to appear before
me at my office in the 2nd, civil district
of Lawrence county, on the 30th day of
September 1898, to defend said Attach
mont case or the same will be beside d

Our Congressman n. n. Cox, voted
against the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act, and voted for the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. We think
that Cox's position on the repeating of
the Sherman act was correct, but We
are satisfied that he like all other Demo
Gratis, wanted the Sherman Law repeal
ed, but it was great sacrifice upon the
part of the bimetalist's to repeal the
Sherman act, without Mt the same time,
cnacting law to continue the coinage
Of silver. 1t looks as though the gold
bugs have scored a great victory in the
lower House.
