Has a Unique Coin.

Charles H. Woolsey has a copper
or bronze coin in his possession the
like of which local numismatists say
they never saw before. He picked It
up where Kearny avenue is being cut
through the Paterson property on
Lewis street. On one side there is
a mans profile and around it the
words, "Georgius II Rex" and under
it the date 1872. on the other side
there is the familiar figure of Britain
mia, with the word over it The coin
is excellently preserved, every letter
being visible. The Paterson property
is occupied by Miss Emily X. Pater-
son, and it was the home of Andrew
Bell, her grandfather, and one of the
most prominent men in the early his
tory of New Jersey.

Samuel Cohen
AWoke In Time
To Call Aid.
COULD HARDLY STAND.
Rest Of the Family COu'd Not Be
Aroused Until the Doctor
Arrived.

While the family of Samuel Cohen,
who keeps butcher shop at GO New
Brunswick avenue, were asleep in the
bedroom in the rear of the shop ear
ly this morning they were overcome
by coal gas which filed the room and
il was only after some hard work on
the part of DR.. Charles j. Silk, of
State street, that they were revived.
A few days ago part of the CHM
ney in the house fell down, but as it
did not affect the draught TO any
great extent, they did not pay much
attention to it. Last night they re-
tired to bed as usual. About O'Clock
this morning Mr.. Cohen was awaken
ed with a great pain in his head
When he tried to get up he found
he was so dizzy that he could not
stand and it began to dawn upon
him that the room was filled with
coal gas. He tried to arouse his fam
lily consisting of his wife, three
daughters, Lillian, Mamie and Ruth,
and son Nathan, but he found that
they were all partly q@ercme with
the fume and he couldNQot Jet them
out of bed.
Cohen finally groped his way to the
store and telephoned to Dr. Silk and
told him what was the matter. When
the doctor arrived he found that in
going to the store Cohen had left
the door to the bedroom open and in
this way some of the coal gas had es-
capped, but still the room was sitting
and the doctor, with great difficulty,
was able to get the rest of the family
out into the open air, in another
room where he worked over them for
some time
The eldest daughter, Lillian, and
the boy, Nathan, were in the worst
condition and when a NEWS report
er called at the Cohen home today
they had not fully recovered. The
girl was lying on bed in the store.
DR.. Silk told the reporter that the
family had a narrow escape from
death, but he thought that they
would all come around.
