Americans the La Socapa guns were served
by sailors from that ship while she

Prof. Thorwold Jerichan, known to our
citizens as a former instructor in music
at Stephenson Seminary, now resident
of Washington City, had narrow escape
from asphyxiation a few night ago
He had as his guest Hunton Payne, a
young friend of Round Hill, Loudoun
county. They retired early and Payne
put out the light, but failed to turn off the
gas. Both were found in a condition of
unconsciousness about eleven o'clock on
Sunday morning. They were taken to
hospitals and after energetic professional
treatment were restored TO consciousness.
The Washington Post of Dec 20 says
"The musician was in worse condition
than his friend, but after working on him
for an hour he Was restored to conscious
ness. He was out of danger last night,
5ut will not be discharged from the hos

quickly and was also pronounced out of
danger last night Neither of them had
any recollection of the events of the
night, and they were very much surprised
