Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Dunlap and their

residing at No. 4 Middle street, had a
very narrow escape from asphy xiation
during Wednesday night of last week
The house is heated by furnace and
one stove, In both of which coal is used
for fuel, and it appears that the chimney
became sufficiently clogged to divert
most Of the gas from both OF the heaters
into the rooms of the house. The whole
family awoke suffering from severe
headache and nausea and to find the air
throughout the whole house charg-
ed with coal gas to deadly de-
gree. A window WAS open about six
Inches in the chamber used for sleep
ing apartment, otherwise it would seem
that the incident must have resulted
fatally.
The total income for the Congrega-

accepted five cents promising to devote
the proceeds from its use and Investment
to the Working League Treasury. Mrs.
Herman Rowell made an original pur-
chase OF five cents worth Of sugar which
abe made into candy, from the sale OF
which she made purchases Of additional
material, for further candy making, con
tnuing this plan until, in the time TO
which the effort was limited, less than
two months, she had accumulated pro-

ing their capital of five cents produce al

In amounts of three dollars and over.
