SON HART YESTERDAY
MORNING.

Mr.. Edison Hart, youngest son Of
Capt. George o. Hart, had a close
call from ssphyxiation yesterday
morning early. When Capt. Hart

in his sons room in order to heat

II appears he failed tolignite some
of the burners, and the escaping gas
filled the room after he went out,
and when young Mr.. Hart was called
later he could not be aroused. The
room was well filed with gas, and
the family Immediately realized that
the young man was overcome by the
gas, and worked with him until he
was revived, and he soon completely
recovered.

RED is FREE AGAIN
Released on a Writ Of Habeas Cor
pus this Morning.
Immediately Skipped Out and Is Pro-
baby Far Away By This
Time.
PROSECUTION UNREPREsENTED

Red Marcum, alias Galloway, alias
Johnson, got his freedom as a Christ
mas present today. He is now doubt
less out Of reach of the officers Of the
law, who hoped that in few days he
would be hack again behind prison
bars in Illinois.
Marcum was arrested last week sus-
pected of being implicated in the Lola
KY, safe blowing, and after being
held q few days a warrant was received
from Chester, Ill, for his detention,
and an officer arrived to take back to
Chester, where he is wanted for vio-
lating his parole while serving q sem
tence for larceny. He is also wanted
in Orrmi, Ill. for breaking Jail. He
refused to return without requisi-
tion, and the officer went back to get
one.
This morning Chief Collins received
a telegram from Frankfort that the re-
quisition'of the Illinois governor had
been honored. and about the same time
received information that Msrcum
had been released by Judge Husbands
on q writ Of hsbeas corpus taken out
before him several days ago.
The officer who came here from H.
linois and swore ont the warrant
against Marcum made affidavit that
violation of parole is felony in nli-
nois, and this would make 1t extradit-
able, but when the writ of habeas cor
pus was called in circuit court this
morning Marcum and his attorneys
were there and there was no one to
represent the commonwealth.
Judge James Campbell, for the pris-
oner, made his statement to the
court. and there being no objection
entered, Marcum was ordered releas-
ed.
Chief Collins was not very much
pleased and instructed his men to re-
arrest Msroum if found, the requisi-
tion being expected this evening, but
they could not find him, and he has
doubtless put many miles between him
and Paducsh by this time.

THAT CHICKEN CASE
MRS. SARGENT WARRANTED
TO-DAY FOR GRAND LARCENY.

Mrs. Sargent, who for years has sold
chickens on the market, was this morn
ing warranted for grand larceny by
Judge Sanders. She is charged with
taking chickens belonging to Mr.. Sam
Hubbard, on jefferson street near
Tenth.
The chickens were stolen several
nights ago, and portion Of them ro-
covered on Mrs. Sargent's place near
the city. Some of them had already
been killed, but the others.were so well
identified by Mr.. Hubbard that some
Of them came to him when he called.
The police claim that Mrs. Sargent
has told several different stories about
where she got the chickens, and she
will now have to prove how she came
into possession of them.

In less than two weeks Circuit
Judge Husbands will render an opin-
ion in the injunction suits against the
city, and set at rest. for time at
least, all the talk Of this ana that class
and whether or not this or that officer
can hold his job. It is hoped that it
will do away with talk and confusion.
and that Paducah will enter the new
year with every prospect of continued
progress during the year.

THE FIRST TOUCH
Old Boreas Cane In With Vengeance
Last Night.
Mercury Fell to s Degrees Above
Zero in This Lo-
cslity.
MANY WATER PIPES BURST

The people OF Paduoah and this Sec
tion are feeling the first touch Of real
winter today. The mercury last night
went down to 8 degrees above zero,
and TO-DAY IL has lowered about the IL
mark.
Many people awoke today to find
their water pipes frozen, and while
only few burst, they may be heard
from later. The plumbers have been
unusually busy, but people have now
had warning and will hereafter turn
the water of at nights.
The news from surrounding districts
indicates that there is general cold ev-
erywhere. over in several Illinois
cities the temperature was reported
below zero, and yesterdays mails,
especially those from the west, were
nearly all delayed.
An effort to snow last night proved
unavailing. The weather was too
cold. and only few fakes fell
The first ice OF the season for skat-
ing formed yesterday and last night,
and today many of the schoolboys,
who are enjoying holiday until ear
ly in January, oiled up their skates
and HE'D themselves to the ponds and
lakes near the city. The indications
are that sktaing parties will shortly
become very popular.

Christmas was celebrated in Padu-

Don't Jump Off Cars.

From the Osteopathic Health. =
Jumping off moving trains and street cars
as practiced today is a fruitful source OF
nervous disorders, and not one fully recog-
nized for It's Importance by any school eX-
cept osteopaths. Yet the facts are easily
comprehended. Certain it is that nervous
ness in all It's protean forms. from irrtas
bility, neurasthenia and general nervous
collapse to paralysis, IS so caused, and that
the careless habit of many people of bowl
ing off moving cars stiff-legged lays the
foundation for these disorders every hour
of the day.
In leading the strenuous life of our cities
men and women seem unable TO wait TO get
to their journeys end. Before trains come
to half stop at crossings and platforms
fidgety pedestrians with muscles tense drop
from car platforms and almost before their
bodies have recovered from the forward
momentum are stalking a mad foot race
against time in the opposite direction. This
enterprise saves ten seconds, of course, for
that particular arrand; but possibly 1t has
tens by many months ones journey to the
grave. Positive injury is thereby done to
the spine and nervous system which must
gather in cumulative effect until one day
the whole nervous organism may go to
pieces. Mere slips of the vertebrae from
their true positions one upon the other. and
the strains brought to bear in consequence
upon the Hgaments and muscles binding
them together, are what first occur from
these sudden innumerable poundings of hard
heels against adamant pavements. These
seemingly trivial mishaps to the body are
productive Of the most far-reaching conse-
quenceS.
At every point in the spine where such a
conclusion spends its force a defective spot
develops. 1t becomes weak point anatomi-
cally and a point of congestion, blockade
and impaired work physiologically.

The third mate had another piece of hard
luck when he struck very large whale

thrust almost as quietly as a COW. But
hardly had he been killed before the
weather became so wicked that even the

monster was lost after all their work.

German Marriage Blunders.
From the London Telegraph

r rom the London Telegraph.
1t appears that pastors as well as regis
trars in Germany get confused over their
matrimonial business few weeks ago
one Of the latter, at Neu Ruppin. near Ber-
lin, stamped the certificate Of marriage
with the words free from trfchinosis,' as
he happened to be an official for eXamin-
Ing meat as well. Now this anecdote can
be capped by the following, in which q
pastor plays the part of the muddler: A
young widower of Singlingen, near Wies-
baden, was about to enter upon wedlock
for second time, and the arrangements
were all complete for the nuptial ceremony
at Heddernheim for recent Sunday. Sud
denly, the day before the wedding, a mes
senger came from the reverend gentleman
to the budding bridegroom to say that the
service must be postponed for three weeks,
as, in publishing the bans he had given
out the name of the mother-in-law instead
of the intended bride. Persuasion was of
no avail. The only alternative for the bride
groom was to marry the mother-in-law II
he insited on the nuptial ceremony taking
place on the day originally fixed; and, as
neither he nor his fiancee was disposed to
accept this solution, the pair have to walt
the prescribed time Of another three weeks.
