ALMOST ASPHYXlATED.
Family of Jacob Weiss Partially Overcome
by Gas From a Heater.

The entire family of Jacob Weiss,
living at the northwest corner of Adams
and Wawaset streets, was partially ovel-
come early Monday morning by gas
from a coal heater in the parlor, which
is on the first floor, and as result Mr..
Weiss is now very sick and other men,
bers of the family still feel the effects.
All had narrow escape from asphyxia-
tion, and, had it not been for the fact
that Mrs. Weiss was awakened by the
choking sensation about 3 O'Clock in
the morning, and while she was seeking
relief some doors we've opened and gas
escaped from some of the rooms, all
might have died from the effects of
inhaling the gas.
When Mrs. Weiss awoke, at 3 o'clock,
she told her husband that she was
choking and started for the door, to
get breath of fresh air, but Just as
she reached the door she tainted. She
was picked up by her husband, how
ever, although he was somewhat dazed,
and was revived with some difficulty.
As there were no Illuminating gas
pipes in the house, Mr.. and Mrs. Weiss
did not realize what had caused the
trouble, as neither was fully conscious.
and again retired. The opening of
doors had purified the air in their room
to some extent, but they felt sick when
they awoke again about 5 O'Clock.
When they began to call their chill
dren Mary, aged IL: Minnie, aged ID;
Paulina. aged II, and Katie, aged g.
two of them appear ed to be unconscious
and the other two were sick. Mrs.
Elizabeth Joohen, who lives across
Wawaset street, was summoned and
she and Mr.. and Mrs. Weiss began to
administer restoratives to the children,
but it was not until about 3 O'Clock
Monday afternoon that all had fully
recovered consciousness, and then, with
the exception of one daughter, all felt
sick. Fortunately, Mrs. Jochen has
had much expel fence among sick people
and she knew just what to do and had
the remedies handy. Much hard work
was required to save the lives of two OF
the children. ..-....
| MIR. Weiss had been critically Ill for
several weeks, but was recovering nicely.
The gas had decidedly bad effect
upon him and his condition is again
| serious.
The escape of gas from the heater
was due to the fact that the damper
was across the pipe, having been moved,
| probably, by the wind.

FARMERS PRODUCE ASSOCIATION.

This association has been organized
for the purpose of securing more ie-
muneratiye prices for our fruits, and
other farm produce, by every legitimate
means. y Tho objects as set forth in
the official circular are:
lst To encourage cash buyers at all
railroad stations by selling whenever
offered fair cash price, and by shipping
to none but our own commission NOR
chants when prices offered are not
acceptable
I'd. TO try and secure from trans
portatiun companies more satisfactory
service, and more acceptable rates for
shipments of our members.
3D.. To secure one or more reliable
commission merchants in each city to
which we wish to ship, who will receive
all the consignments of our members so
long as their transactions are salts
factory to us.
We shall have shipping agent at
each railroad station, who will receive
quotations by telegraph from our COM
mission merchants, and hold them for
the exclusive use of our members. The
commission merchants keep per cent
of gross sales for their services, and
remit per cent weekly to our shipping
agents, one-half Of which he pays to
the association.
The association has adopted a trade
mark, which will appear on all ship
ments by our members. This trade
marx will bs in the form of stickers
which will be placed on every package.
The trade mark will bear this in
scription: Farmers Produce Associa-
tion of Delaware. Contents of this
package guaranteed as good all through
as on top
The trade marks used by each mem
Der will bear his number, so that the
commission merchant can properly
credit shipments, and trace dishonest
packing if any occur.
The city buyers will soon learn to
look for packages bearing our trade
mark, and will pay little more for
them being guaranteed, and will GER
tainly take them in preference to goods
not guaranteed.
This arrangement is good for the
commission merchant, because he will
receive all the consignments of our
members fol his city, and because he
is handling guaranteed brand of
goods which buyers will be looking for.
1t is a good thing for the consumer,
because it encourages honest packing
of goods, saves time in buying, and
gives HIM recourse on the grower
through the commission merchant for
rebate in case any dishonest packing
is found
1t is good thing for our farmers,
because they have access to reliable
market kilograms as soon as they get
their goods to the railroad stations, and
can determine whether to accept cash
offers OF to ship. Also, that if they
ship, the goods will 60 where they will
be sure and receive all there is in it,
and all this at cost of only one dollar
Fer year, per member.
Valuable information will be fur
nished from time to time to members
of the association only.

LEvY COURTS gUsY TIME.


the Court House, Tuesday Morning.
The Levy Court was opened about II
O'Clock Tuesday, all the members
being present This is ono of the three
stated meetings of the court each year
provided for by the law. At the
direction of President Scott, Clerk

ing OF last Thursday.
Commissioner Mealey was in his
usual place. He told an Every Even
ing representative that nothing would
probably be done in the matter of the

One purpose of this meeting in March
is to return to the assessors certified

assessment for 1909. The assessors had
handed in their lists the first Tuesday
in February and since that time the

Of the Peace Foard has had the Gel titled
copies made.

and one for each rural hundred, will
hang up the assessment books, SO that
the taSables may examine them and
ascertain whether any errors or
eScrbitanB assessments have been made
against their property. Should they
have any objection to the assessment,
they have the privilege of appearipg
before the court this month to present
their complaints. President Scott
Tuesday suggested the advisability Of
tho taxables making a careful examina-
tion of the lists, in order to see whether
they are correct.
The Levy Court did not take I'D the
matter of the election of a trustee of
the moor ut Tuesday afternoons ses-
sion, and the only business transacted
was the passage of resolutions for the
reduction of assessments and the trans
