Death From Gas Invades
Home of 3 Aged Brothers
Breadwinner Returns From His
Work to Find One Dead and
Other in Critical Condition

Three old men, brothers, lived in a
three-room apartment at 1907 Park
Avenue. Frank Mahon, sixty-eight
years old, a roofer, was the bread
winner for the three. John S. Mahon,
seventy-two years old, and James P.
Mahon seventy-fve, kept house.
None OF the three ever had married
They kept bachelors hall and were
constant in their affection for one an
other
Returning from his work last even
,ng, Frank detected the odor of gas.
He made his way to the kitchen, and
there found his two brothers lying on
bed. John was dead. James, uncon-
selous, was hurried to the Harlem Hos
pital. His condition is critical.
The fumes came from a gas range.
The evidence indicated that the broth
ers had put the coffee pot on to boil
and then lay down for nap. The DO
lice believe gust OF wind extinguished
the flame, thus permitting the room to
MI with case while the aged brothers
slept.

The miners are trying to make a
holiday out of the strike. organizing
coursing races and playing football.
Food Supply Still Adequate
The governments supervision of the
distribution of food supplies is prov
ing eminently satisfactory, but there
necessarily must be a considerable dis
arrangement when the train service is
curtailed. The heaviest blow to the
nation is in the matter of production,
for it cannot be denied that a gradual
paralysis is creeping over the indus
trial areas, especially among the steel
manufacturers. The effect of this shut
down will soon be felt in the ship
building industry. particularly at
Clyde, where the tonnage was higher
in September than it had been since
pre-war days.
With one exception the mines are
still manned with bumpers detailed to
see that water does not rise above
normal. No violence has been reported
from any section. On the contrary,
the strike is remarkable because Of
the orderiness OF the workers.
The government has made no at
tempt to take advantage of flock of
volunteers, who are anxious to helm
break the strike. and no troops have
been moved into the mining districts.
The Whitehall riots of yesterday had
no connection with the coal strike, but
they served to impress the people with
the amount of unemployment and the
temper Of those who have been seeking
work in vain.

Answer-There arc two issues Of
Grand Trunk Pacific Railway per
cent, due January 90, 1889. One is
guaranteed by the Province of Sas
katchewan and the other by the Prov
ince of Alberta. The former has a
slightly better rating. We regard them
both as good investments. They are
payable in New York at a fixed rate of
s4.86 to the pound sterling. The per
cent issue of 1866 is not guaranteed
except by the Grand Trunk Railway.
The Canadian government has taken
over the Grand Trunk, and for that res
son perhaps the obligations of the road
have been assumed by the Canedian
government. These bonds are payable
in New York at a fixed rate Of S4,S6 to
the pound. We regard them as a good
investment also.

To Be Accommodated

Discussions relative to the possible
hotaton of South American govern
ment security issues in this market
at an early date occupied the atten-
tion of members of banking houses
representing the socaled South
American group at the Offices of j. P.
Morgan g. Co. yesterday
While no definite decision was
reached as to any part cular loan opera
tion, it is understood that the bank
ers considered the particular needs of
/ Chile, Argent. and Brazil, in the
order named.
The Chilean government, it was
learned, would like to borrow upward
OF 2O,0Ooo00 here in order to correct
the extremely adverse foreign ex-
change position. The needs Of Chile
are the most pressing of any of the
South American countries, according
to the bankers, and it is believed like
ly that Chile will get the first call
on this market. 1t is not improbable,
it is stated, that 4 Chilean loan may
be arranged before the end of the
year.
Brazil has been known to be in the
market for funds for several weeks.
In fact, negotiations relative to the ar
ranging of S4O,0O0000 acceptance
credit were under way in October, but
did not meet with success.
