OVERCOME BY GAS
MT. Q. F. Wolff and Hon. S. N. Bla. lock of This County. Have Nar-
 row Escape From Death.

Nearly overcome by escaping gas fumes, NIT. o. F. Wolff, of this city collector of taxes for this county for the St. Francis Levee Board. and Hon. \. NJ. Blalock, also member of the St. Francis Leyee Board, and formerly representing St. Francis county in the Arkansas legislature, and probably in Memphis on leyee business, were discovered in their room at the Fransioli hotel in that city last Friday morning by hall porter shortly after o'clock.
 According to the Memphie papers and dispatches, Messrs. Wolff and Bla. lock registered at the Fransioli at : o'clock Thursday night, and retired to their room shortly after 10 o'clock. and MT. Wolff turned on the gas jets, thinking that he was switching on the electric light, and when the cleo. trio light was turned on he did not notice that the gas jet remained open.
 The smell of gas led hall porter to make an investigation at o'clock Friday morning, and after the door to the room occupied by the men had been ferced, they were found uncon- scious in bed, with the windows closed. the transom only partly open, and both gas jets on full force.
 Physicians were summoned at once. and at first MT. Wolff did not respond to their efforts to restore him to con sciousness, and his condition was re- garded as extremely critical.
 After some little effort Mir. Blalock was revived, and during the remain der of the day he and Dr. Blackburn worked heroically with MT. Wolff, whose advanced years, it was said, were against his chances of recovery.
 MT. Wolff's family here was notified of his condition and his daughter Miss Annie, and son, MT. Ned Wolff, went at once to his bedside. He re- covered consciousness early Saturday morning, and it was stated that his complete recovery was assured, and he is expected to return home at any time.
 After MT. Wolff revived, MT. Bla- lock was able to return home, which he did Saturday.
 When the news reached Forrest City it created quite little sensation and was ''all the talk" for coupl e or three days, and much regret and uneasiness was expressed by their large circle of friends. It was cer- tainly narrow escape, and we con- gratulate the gentlemen upon their recovery, and hope they will suffer no bad results from the experience.
 Later.-Mr Wolff returned home yesterday evening on the 5:30 o'clock train. He is still very weak, and shows the suffering he has gone through. He says that MT. Blalock turned of the lights when they re- tired, and that's all he knows about how it happened.

bridge Contract Let.

Mr.. Chas E. Rutherford, the local
concrete worker and well:driller on
Wednesday closed the first contract on
the new bridge over the Potomac river
at Williamsport. The contract is for
soundings for foundations for abut-
ments and piers. The work will con-
sist of drilling holes into The bed rock
to find its thickness in order to make
sure of firm foundation. Mr.. Ruther-
ford will set TO work yet this week and
from this time on he work will be
pushed.
The bridge is to be an innovation in
bridge buirding, at least to this section.
The entire structure will be made of
concrete, reinforced with complete,
heavy steel bridge inside the concrete.
This, SCIENTIST say will be the strong
est bridge possible to build. The bridge
will be wide enough for double wagon
tract and two trolley lines which will
make an immense structure.
