THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. 2, 1896.

THE WHOLE country was needless
" thrown into alarm by the Presidents
declaration of war" against Great
Britain, and then a financial panic was
caused by the statement that the Treas
ury was so low that urgent necessity
required Congress to remain in session
during the whole Christmas holidays, IN
order to devise means for replen'shing
it. The holidays have come and gone,
but the alleged urgently required means
have not yet been devised, nor is it at
all probable they soon will be. Indeed it
was hardly fortnight before the al
legged necessity for them was suddenly
discovered, that the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury agreed that
the government had all the money 1t
had use for, and that there was no need
for any other financial legislation e1-
cept such as would prevent the ex-
change of greenbacks for gold at the
Treasury's counter. Why the war
scare and the financial panic were pro-
duced can only be told at the White
House

Fatal Explosion of Natural Gas.


COLUMBUS, O., Jan 2.-The resi-
dence of ]. Il. Hibbsrd, on Long
street, was burned at 4:30 o'clock this
morning and Hibbard, his wife, two
small children, Miss Hibbard, a niece,
and a Mrs. Lee were burned to death.
Probably the gas in the furnace, which
was turned low, fickered out, and then
the whole house was gradually filled
with gas. When the air was charg-
ed with it, it was ignited from q burn
ing gas jet and an explosion followed.
Ali the six bodies were found in the
same room. They had evidently been
awakened and ran there to escape,
and were sufocated there. The bodies
are all burned beyond recognition.
