"We have received letters inclosing money trithont postoffice address Irom the follow lng persons: James It. Carr. S. P. Cabbage. Alex. Bowman. 8. H. Culberson. Henry Sneddon. Fred Friday. Jno." Muench. Mrs. Miller. s. ii. Tun. Sunday, April 21, we received an express order for $1.50, inclosed in an envelope without any letter or address, and the post-mark on the letter ia so badly blurred that it ia impossible to make oat the cilice from which it came. It is impossible to send or give credit to parties who do not give their fall address. In writing, always give postoffice, county and S'ate. 7ns in'er-state commerce law has failed to abo'.bli railroad wars, though this was one of its fpecial objects. Ik diülirg for gas at Kockville a vein of lesd was strnck. This may prove a more productive find than oil or gas, Ji i ':e James Draplet died Saturday at Laporte, ned S2veuty-seven. He was one of the most pruineut Democratic lawyers ot northern Indiana, aad had served one term in the State Senate. Clistojt, YermilJion County, strack gas at 147 feet, but the drilling began in a ravine about 100 feet deep. The result, however, at evn 250 fee' is rather astonishing, considering the experience of other toriegs in the Stat.;. Amid all the conflict of reports about th President's future intentions, one hard, cold fact stands out conspicuously: He has not declared in wrltiDg that he will not accept a renominatlon, nor ha3 he authorized a statement on his own behalf. FaiEMoryT reports that the State Geologist of Ohio, who is at present investigating the veil there, estimates the daily output of gaa at 11.500,000 feet per day. This is probably larger than that of any other of the various wells of the belt. The Lafayette Democrats have excellent prospects of winning at the approaching city election. They are harmonious and united with a strong ticket, while the Republicans are sore over having a ring ticket forced upon them, and bolts are numerous. The wife ot Bishop, the mind-reader, has lued for divorce, stating, as a . part of her bill of complaint, that her husband had practiced a fraud to obtain her consent to their union. Mrs. Bishop has every reason to regret- that she was not a mind-reader fcerself when Mr. Elehop came to woo. Gas excitement runs very hizh indeed Svhen the near approach of a local political convention awakens no interest in an Indiana town, as has been the case at Muncie, Jhe local papers report a scarcity of candidates, everybody giving his entire attention to the gas boom. People abroad will Understand from this condition of things tow eeriously the inhabitants of the gaa Jjeltaie afflicted with the fever. Wk can not bat think that the bill in trodeced in the last Congress by Mr. ."Wheeler, of Alabama, making an appropriation of $100,000 for boring a hole In the ground, should not hare been ridiculed to death. It was Mr. Wheeler's idea that Jfce aaou&t of money asked in his bill

t hould be expended by the Government In sending a drill as far into the earth as possible, la order that it might be known just what was below us. Sach investigations seem most wise now, in view of the surprising discovery of the vast natural gas resources in Indiana. If there is an ocean of this fluid only 1,000 feet below us, what might there not be 10,000 or 20,000 feet further into the depths of the earth? Indeed, we could suggest to college debating society no more interesting matter for discussion than the query: "Is the center of the earth a mass of fire, and, if so, what would be the risk of an explosion shattering the globe into cometary fragments if a drill should establish communication between a gas bed and the flaming interior?" This query opens up a field for exciting speculation. FALSE RE.CKONIN OS. The year 1SS9 has been fixed for a great socialistic revolution This is a statement made by a Chicago organ of the Red Internationals. We do not believe iL It is proposed to combine into one grand organization the Red Internationals, the Black Internationals and the Socialistic Labor party. The organ of the revolutionists states that by 1889 the combined forces of the three organizations will include 500,000 persons who will go to any length of destruction to obtain control of the Government and to overthrow existing social conditions. The plan of the campaign is thus set forth: The panic comes, the public are excited, outbreaks occur, the large centers revolt, the places where but few Socialists exist are made points for rallying of the conservative element. In these small places It should be made the dut7 of the Socialists there residing, secretly and with all the aid of science In destructive warfare, to raise sufficient turmoil to keep the conservatives busy at home. Meanwhile, in large centers, bold measures should be taken. Onr people should head, lead and control the popular revolt, should seize the places of power, should lay hands upon the machinery of the Government. Once Installed In power the Revolutionary Committee should follow np this course of action. The decree should at once be promulgated and enforced. We say the horrible calamities contemplated as a necessary part of this fiendish project will never occur. The intimation is that the laboring men of the country will acquiesce in its furtherance. Never. It is one of the curious theories of the Socialists that they have some kind of a hold upon the wage-making element of society. It Is wholly false. Many of those who declare themselves Socialists are also quick to assert that there is a definite distinction to be made between the Socialist and the Anarchist There are, of course, individuals who adhere only to the socialistic doctrine as it was originally propounded and which had co-operation as its cardinal element. But to-day in America socialism and anarchism are identical in the fearful enunciations of their most conspicuous apostles. The American public eees only a double headed serpent The organs of the 2eds use the terms socialism and anarchism interchangeably. Now and then a Socialist appears who repudiates the amalgamation, but the propositions of the Chicago mouth-piece cause the suspicion to arise that the effort to disassociate the two is but a matter of strategy, dictated by a joint committee of snpervislon. The Socialist reckons without his host His fevered imagination sees in the gathering together of two or three behind barred doors as many thousands. He refuses to believe that the conservative element of the country Is brave and that it can be, on occasion, wrought up to the fighting point He refuses to'see in the growth of building associations a manifestation of a counteractive influence. He refuses to acknowledge that the conditions that obtain in American society are not the conditions obtaining in European monarchies. He is but the vic

tim of unreasonable imaginings, like the father who. from over-brooding upon a fixed religious idea, seeks to propitiate the Almighty by murdering his own child. The socialism of America is not the socialism that seeks to elevate labor by devising methods of co-operation whereby the man at the forge or at the bench may obtain a greater share of the profits arising from bis worx. It is the socialism that exists hand-in-glove with anarchism, and seeks to destroy that the tpoils of an un dermined civilization may be divided as booty To Buch an onslaught tbe laborine men of America will never be led. AN AWFUL EXAMPLE. The Journal persists in its attempt tj cast discredit upon the integrity of Hon. A. G. Smith. By so doing it involves the Republican press of the State in a great deal of trouble. An example of the serious consequence of its persistence in evilspeaking is sho wn in the humiliation of the Washington, Daviess County, Gazette, which echoed some of the expressions of the Journal regarding Mr. Smith. And this is what the editor of that paper had to write by way of apology : "In last week's issue of the Gazette we published two brief editorial articles reflecting personally upon Hon. A. G. Smith, Democratic Senator from Jennings County, in which we charged that he was 'a thief of the worst type,' having stolen $2 from the State and tried to steal $120 more. We alsos'ated that he stole sixtythree pen-knives and f 2-j 13 worth of stationery. "Through carelessness on our part these items crept into our columns, as sach things do sometimes with every well-regulated newspaper, and we regret the fact very much. a the Gazette aid not intend to charge Mr. Smith with the commission of a crime, and we hasten to set Mr. Smith right, as one gentleman should do to another. We were in error in makin? these statements, which were based on a series of publications in the Indianapolis Journal, wherein it was chareed that Mr. Smith overdrew hia ac count as Senator to the amount of $2, and that he signed a warrant for $120 more for his services as su.h officer. The Journal also charged that Mr. Smith also signed a warrant for $20.15 for stationery, which he arTroTriated to his own use. "We had na just cause for making these serious charges, and made them with no view, to wrong the gentleman or injure mm personally whatever. We understand thronerh the eentleman himself that they are untrue. In saying this we consider that we have made the amende honorable. "These charges appeared in these col umns without having been f ally weighed. The intent of them was not at Mr. Smith, hnt at the Democratic party, which so peraistentlv rrofesses to be pure and clean. The charges were meant to be ssrlous only against the Democratic party ana not gainst Mr. bmitn." The republican press will, In all likell i hood, feel disposed to say a great deal about

Mr. Smith during the next twelve.months or eo, and, in order to save them from the unwelcome fate that befell the Gazette, we take pleasure in reprinting the foregoing confession of error.

GAS AT BRIGHTWOOD. The finding of gas at Brightwood gives the local situation a very bright phase. This particular well may not prove prolific, bnt the fact that gas is attainable in or near Indianapolis is demonstrated beyond much doubt The community should feel very gratefnl to the gentlemen who have stood by this well so pluckily, refusing to abandon it until they had exhausted every resource. They have given other prospectors fresh courage, and we may be sure that not a spot in the county holding any promise of gas at all will be left unexplored. Indianapolis is in a position this morning to present her compliments to the cities and towns to the north and east, and to assure them that she never felt better in her life, and to trust they are glad to know it. We haven't a gusher as yet but there is every reason to believe we will find one presently, and, if we do cot, we have Noblesville to draw upon. As a consequence, we are disposed to Matter ourselves that Fortune has taken us under her wing and that we are on the way to glorious thirgs. Besides, we have profited by the school of bitter experience and will endeavor not to display a vaulting' ambition that o'erleaps itself. We also feel that we deserve a great deal of good luck for waiting eo long and so patiently, and we are disposed to remark for the benefit of disheartened mankind that it is a long lane which tnrneth not. The Brightwood discovery is merely an Incident giving assurance that we are within easy reach of great possibilities, ana while our expectations are large, they are well founded. Thk Baltimore American recently told an amusing story of the surprise given a young bride while standing unsuspectingly on one of the "whispering stones" of the old House of Representatives in Washington by a page standing on the other, who asked her in a whisper how old she was. Amusing and annoying occurrences are common enough in all whispering galleries, and there are a good many, especially la Europe. Tne best known, probably, is that in the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Any one standing in a certain spot of the gallery, with bis face closejtothe wall, can hear and be heard when a very22 slight whisper is uttered by any one In a similar position in a corresponding spot Most visitors to the famous cathedral go into the dome and try this interesting experiment The most extraordinary acoustical phenomenon in any artifical structure, however, is in the celebrated "Baptistery" of Pisa, which, with the still more celebrated "Leaning lower" or bell tower form portions, separated by a hundred feet or so of the grand old cathedral, where Galileo first got he hint of the pendulum from the swinging of one of the chandeliers. This "Baptistery" is a dome set on the ground, about :00 feet high, perfectly circular and entirely bare Inside, except for the finely carved marble baptismal font. Of course, any sound of considerable force is echoed and re-echoed for a long time. The officer or guide who accompanies a visitor usually illustrates the power ot this echo by singing in strong tone the three chords of the scale. The prolonged echo mixes them in the grandest harmony conceivable, except that made by the most powerful organ. It would probably be impossible to speak at any length there with any considerable volume of sound, as the echoes would tangle the words into indistinguishable confusion. Jonathan W. Gordon, who diel yester day, was as well known throu?hont Indiana as any other citizen. A soldier of two wars, he had served his country with high distinction. In criminal jurisprudence he had enjoyed an almost national celebrity. As an orator, he had qualities which, particularly in the old days, won for him great popularity both upon the political stamp and upon the rostrum. He was conspicuous as a Republican of the rad ical abolitionist type before the war, and had, as a Republican, been prominent as a member of several Legislatures. His life was crowded with stirring events. He seemed always to be fighting or defending some thing. He was one of the most honest of men, ever ready to assert his convictions. As a politician he was without craft, and his pertonal generosities received no bias from political beliefs. He never made ene mies deliberately, though quick at times to take offense and jeopardize friendships in a conflict for principle. He was essentially a pleader by nature, and in his best day one of the most eloquent of ad vocates, whether in behalf o t a cause or a client He had his faults, but they were of les degree than his abundant virtues. He was notably a man of dual nature. In his youth and in his prime he was fond of combat whether in the court, on the platform or in the field of war. But latterly he began to show the temperament and the aspirations of the closet-stndent, fond of literature and delighting in the exercise of a scholar's functions. Had he lived longer and preserved his health, which for several years had declined to the serious impairment of his vigor, he would have achieved great prominence as an essayist. critic and poet His occasional literary efforts were 'marked by qualities that needed only continued and systematic em ployment to have established him firmly as an admirable figure in American literature. It will be, we think, the general judgment that he would have made a greater mark in the world had he been less susceptible to the calls of friend ship and sympathy, which prevented per sistent efiort for his own advantage in any special direction. Bat to this, reply could be made by pointing oat the fcOod he did to his fellow-men by yielding to their de mands. It's the "most unklndest cut of all" for In diana Democrats to attribute the lots of their Etata to the President and to say that if it is to be recovered "the oil and true Democratic Drlnciplcs must be asserted and maintained." By this it la meant that all the Republicans must be turned out of the offices and the Demo crats turned in. But this is just what bas been done la Indiana, There, are haiaiy repuo

hcans enough left In office in thit State "fir seed." Do the dissatisfied Boosters really mean to convey the Idea that they sulked in their cabins and let the State go Republican out ot disgruntlemcnt ever 'the failure of the resident to make a clean sweep in New York and Massachusetts? Euch vicarious vengeance Is

hardly credible in this day of prosaic politics. New York World. That was one of the reasons they sulked. Another reason was that it took the President nearly two years to reduce the number of Republican office-holders in Indiana to any considerable degree, and he is not nearly through the work yet Another reason Is that the Indiana Democrats who may have aspired to serve the Government have had to endure the atmosphere of mugwumpery that infests the administration. Still another reason is that Indiana Democrats made more than a personal investment in Mr. Cleveland, and, having assisted in his election, have the right to judge as to the propriety of the general trend of his administration. They do not like mug wumpery and do not want the next Presi dent to recognize the doctrine. They have no other fault to find with Mr. Cleveland than his submission to the dictation of Mr. George William Cartis and his retinue of political emasculates. They believe this should be a government of the people, operating through parties and not through cliques, and hope and pray-that Mr. Cleveland will yet renounce the Cartis doc trine altogether. The citizens of Louisville who made such persistent endeavors to lynch the as sailants of Miss Bowman have reason to congratulate themselves that they did not succeed, as one of them has been enabled to prove an alibi. The ex-member of the Legislature and the college professor who ed the mob will now acknowledge that he law is a thing which deserves respect, and that the legislative body and the school faculty have a co-ordinate relaion in farthering a spirit of obedi ence to the law. It is curious indeed that the ex-legislator and the professor had not apprehended this great fact before, but we have no doubt that each will in utare be more efficient in his particular sphere. The ex-legislator should certainly be re elected, for he has been taught the usefulness of the law as a shield for the in nocent, while the professor can, oat of his own experience, illustrate to his pupils the necessity ot obeying the law and trust ing to its operations for the safety of ociety. In discussing what it calls ''the narrow ness of Calhoun's mind," the St Louis Globe-Democrat says: nelvotedjfor the perpetuation of the tariff after the close of the war of 1812, because he be lieved at that time that that policy would rove as beneficial to the South as it had proved to the North. Twelve years .ater he took ground aeainst the tariff. Perhaps some of the high protective heorists of the Republican party might get a lesson from this. They did just what Mr. Calhoun did. They voted for the per petuation of the tariff after the recent war, and not only twelve years after were they doing the same thing, but nearly a quarter of a century having elapsed they continue to force a war tariff upon the people. Whatever else he may have been, Calhoun was not a narrow-minded man. Twelve years of observation demonstrated to him that a war tariff, after the war was ended, was bad policy. The Republican party, it seems, never will find it out Geckge C. Goriiam, who, with tueve Dorsey, figured so conspicuously as a Republican missionary in the Indiara campaign of 1S30, has at' last confessed to a reporter how the State was saved for Gar field. On beiDg asked how he managed the Indiana canvass he replied: Quite easily and effectively. We located one man in each county as the ruling spirit, or boss. He made a calculation as to how much money was needed to accomplish given results, and it was given to him. I want to say, though, that Doisey never handled cne dollar of the money, nor would he have anything to do with it. This is candid, indeed. The plentifulness of crisp, new $2 bills in Indiana on the election day of that year was one of the glaring evidences of the corrupt methods employed by the Republican National Executive Committee to carry the State. It was to Gorham and Dorsey that Garfield owed his election. Garfield and Hancock are now both dead, but Gorhr.m lives to tell the tale and Dorsey to give banquets in London. An entire family named Richardson was poisoned in a remote part of Fountain County . within the past few days. The Sentinel correspondent at Covington only heard of the case yesterday and promptly sent an account, which appears in our dispatches this morning in another column. The mother and one child are dead, while other members of the family continue to suffer from the effects of the deadly dose. It is a most mysterious affair, and the Coroner is investigating it The father was suspected at first nd some talk of lynching was indulged in by the neighbors. This seems to have given way to wiser coun sels. Two Western boys are said to have watched a cyclone break down and grind up a patch of woods while they were sitting on a convenient feace, and from the motion of the wind, or winds, one of them took the hint of a pulverizing machine, which he has completed and exhibited in New York to many admiring visitors. It grinds rapidly into dust any solid thing, from glass to iron, put in it. If the report be true It shows a remarkable inventive aptitude. It is the first, so far, we remember, that an operation of nature has been copied into a machine. Many have been suggested by such occurrences, but certainly they have not often been copied. The gas fever shows no abatement anywhere in the State. The drills are going into the earth In every quarter, from the Ohio River to Lake Michigan. The more wells developed - the better the result will be for tho State at large. Gas has been found on the southernmost limits, but the wells thus far opened In that quarter are rendered useless because of salt water. Ma Gladstone stands by Mr. Frneil yery bravely. He was never more active in politics than at the present tims. He seems to be constantly speaking at clubs

or receptions or in Parliament. Such ag

gretsions in so good a cause as Ireland's must surely win in the end. We are told now of an "anesthetic bullet," made of some brittle material, and filled with a powerful anesthetic drug". When it strikes a man it breaks and the anesthetic agent is released, producing instant insensibility, which will last for twelve hours, or possibly till the wound can be surgically treated. This is an improvement that only needs a little further im provement to make a battle, a few years hence, as harmless as they were 500 years ago with the "Condottleri," when nobody wasj killed and very few hurt, after a ten hours' fight Mes. Any a Meslow, of Jackson County, who had rounded out a century of life about two weeks ago, died Saturday. She was born in Hanover, Germany, April 15, 1787, aÄl came to this country sixty years ago, locating at Cincinnati, where her husband died ten years later. She then moved to Dudleytownwhere she has resided ever since. A large number of friends met at her home April 15 and aided in celebrating her 100th birthday anniversary. The fact that Air. u.iue ma not a'tend the funeral of his brother at SiaOi 1 1. though in Chicago the day before tb interment took place, indicates that Mr. Blaine is mere eeriously ill than he or Irs family will udmit His worn appearance was remarked In Boston when he passed through that city on his way to bis home in Augusta. It will Dot be surprising if we hear presently that Mr. Blaine has taken to bis bed again. TriE dispatches state that the Echnabeles affair has been amicably arranged between France and Germany, and another war cloud accordingly vanishes from the horizon. It appears to take a great deal to provoke a fisht among tte Nations of Europe. Gas is discovered in a new spot every day. So many wells have now been discovered within reach of Indianapolis that we are sure to obtain it at low figures whether it shall be found in our immediate vicinity or not. SENTENCED TO PRISON. Sad Fate ot a Former Minister of the DI. E. Church. Bai-timohe, April 20. Rev. A. M. Morrison stole a horse and buggy in this city on the 5th in&t., and a few days ago was arrested at Brocton, Mass. He returned to Baltimore on Wednesday in charge of a detective and was put on trial to-day. Conviction followed, and he was sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary with hard labor. He was formerly a Methodist minister, and was at one time well known In New England. Liquor was the cause of his downfall, his last pulpit having been in Williamsburg, Ky. Last year he suffered imprisonment for forgery, lie swindled several rJiglous concerns in New York City last month and came to Baltimore to escape arrest. Here he got bard up and proceeded to raise money by hiring a team and making away with it. lie was traced to Brocton, Mass., where he was arrested after a desperate fight. A Gigantic Scheme. fmsEURO, April 29. The river coal operators are considering a gigantic scheme by which the entire river coal industry from the Monongahela Valley to New Orleans will be controlled by one powerful syndicate. It Is proposed to take In all the operators anl secure absolute control of the Southern coal markets. The syndicate, when fonned. wlll ba the most powerfal coal pool in the country, and will represent millions of dollars. SENATOR VEST'S STATEMENT. lie Says the President Never Told Htm lie Woald Refuse a Second Term. New York, April 27. Senator George G. Vest, of Missouri, when asked by a rep3rter for the Commercial-Advertiser, to-day, whether or not, as has been alleged, that he was the Western Senator referred to ia the dispatch to the St Louis Republican as authority for the statement that Tresident Cleveland would refuse a second term, said: "No, tir; I never said so. I never said anything that could reasonably be construed into any such meaning. Mr. Cleveland never told me he would not accept a renomination and would soon cause the publication of a letter saying so. He never told my colleague from Missouri anything of that kind. I never so reEorted to the correspondent of the St. uis Republican nor anybody else. For a long time I was utterly unable to guess how such a report started. Atter strictly cross-examining myself about all I recently taid and done, I hit upon an explanation of the matter, and I think it is a tru9 one. I was calling upon Tresident Cleveland not long ago, when In the course of a conversation about the state of the Democratic party, he declared emphatically the only ambition he had was to eo honestly and faithfully administer the allairs of the Government that the people would elect any Democrat wbo might be nominated in 1SS3. He had been accused of selfish motives, but he added If I could consult my own personal desires I would lay down the office cf President to-morrow. That was all he said. lie did not intirnata he would refuse to be a candidate again if the party desired him to be re-nominated. I certainly did not get any such impression from what J - .... i . be said. 1 regaraea nis remarks 10 do simply a disclaimer of personal ambition in the matter. Well, Beveral weeks after the talk I was with a small party of Democrats, who were mostly anti-Cleveland men. They began criticising the President for trying to secure his re-nomination and gratify selfish ambition. Now, I'm a pretty hot Cleveland man myself, and when I heard this talk. I got up and de clared it utterly without foundation. 'How do you know that?' they inquired, 'Mr. Cleveland positively assured me,' I replied, he had no other ambition in being President than to serve the party and country. He eaid if he could feel free to consult his own comfort, he would lay down the oQlce of President at once.' "That was all: I said, and all I have said about the matter. Undoubtedly my remark was repeated ontside, and grew with each repetition until it reached the correspondent of the Kepublican in the shape in which it was given to the world. I have denied the story frequently tomy friends, and I am glad to have a chance to deny it publicly, because I think the report is likely to do Mr. Cleveland some harm. My relations with the President are not particularly Intimate, but I am sure his statement to me accurately expressed his sentiments. He is not trying to secure a renomination. He has not made ODe appointment with that end in view. His personal tastes are not at all congenial to the life he has to lead as the cation's executive. Yet if the Democratic partv wants him to be its leader next year he Will consider it his duty to accept the task and do the very best he can. That is his Idea anyway to do the best be can all tbe time, and, although I don't asrree with him about a good many things, and thltkle might put a gr&t many more

Democrats In office than he has, I am "ire he is stronger with the people to-day than ever before. There is no doubt in my mind about his renominatlon and reelection." "What do you think about the chances of Governor Hill?" "Well, Governor Hill may bo a pretty big man here in New York, but the country knows nothing whatever about him, never heard of him, in fact He is entirely out of the race." Farmer Jone' Boom.

City of Mexico, April 23. The no velty of a bull fight by electric light drew a n immense crowd to the Colon Plaz. A mong the spectators were President Diaz an d several members of his Cabinet The arena was brilliantly lighted- by ten electric lights, and the gaudy uniforms of the mattadores fairly blazed. The door of the bull pen was thrown open and the first bull made a frantic rush at the picadors, an d in a minute was master of the arena, having killed one horse and gored two others. One matndore and a picador were laid out, though not killed. The fighters became very timid and plied the sword from the side, beine; afraid to face the animal, as is nsual. Of five bulls killed every one was desperate in tbe blszing light and horses and fighters were rolled over and tossed In a terrible- manner. One swordsman attempted to kill the bull as he charged, and was caught on the horns and tossed cut of the arena almost lifeless. The result of the right was four horses killed, several torn and crippled, two matadore3 nearly killet and several picadors disabled. The dazzling Ii?ht seems to make the animals wild. This was tbe first time bull righting has been tried by electrio light. DEED OF AN INSANE FATHER. lie Dashes Ills Child's liralas Oat Against a Tree. Loku .View, Texas, April 2G. Near the south line of Harrison County a negro named Caleb Foster became suddenly crazed and snatched his three-year-old child by the legs, dashing its brains out against a tree, and then rai with the body to the creek bottoms, where he was ineffectually followed by the family. Assistance was procured, and in the morning he was found with the body in his arms, tearing the flesh from its limbs with his teeth. He was captured and taken home. Upon recovering his normal condition, after three days, when not seeing his little son with the rest of the family about his bed he inquired after him. The truth was not told him, but a strict investigation proved that he retained no remembrance of the awful tragedy in which he had been the chief actor. He had been advised to use coal oil foi the headache, and had thoroughly saturated his head with that fluid on the morning of the horrible act. Terrible Accident. Habper's Ferry, W. Va., April 2G.
