iad taken the crape of ! which was around
ho hat and thrown it in the street , and
was in a saloon taking a drink , when
oorgo surprised him by pulling the hal
out of his pocket , and then collaring him
md loading him to the police station ,
The follow had the check to there give

a pretty sharp eye for crooks , is plucky

OVTTIJIJ GAS.

"Who
< htcao Herald ,
About twenty people annutlly logo ihoir
ves In Chicago by meAtis of eewpint ;
a . Some , undoubtedly , are iuicidc ;
them are ignorant in the handling of the
avoritn illuminating power , and etill
thera are victim ! of defective gas Cx-
urei. In every CABO they die a terrible
eath. It is one of the many popular
nistikcs that asphyxia caused by the In-
lalation of coal gr.is la only a form of tlecp
nto which the doomed person drops to
wako no more. The cilm and peaceful
ppcarance of the deadindicating neither
trogglu nor pnln in nature's final combat
with nor arch enemy , is belied by careful
xamlnatlous made by the most expert
ihjaiclane. Doith from asphyxia begins
t the lungs , almost simultaneously par-
listing the muscles of the body. The
ictim is deprived of thn power of notion ,
while still retaining consciousness. Nut
von an outcry is possible , and death ap-
iroachcs inch by inch relentlessly ou-
angling the agonized victim in its dork
keino , from which there ia no oicapa
nloss timely help arrives before the last
tago in the passive etrnpglo. While mill
onscious , the brain , in Us attempts to
break the chnin of death , pictures the
last and present in vivid colors , fhshing
iko lightning over the memory , which
till has a conception that tlio end is
ooiing.
"You may sot It down , " uaid nn emi
nent medical practitioner to the Herald
reporter , "that the stages in asphyxia
rom coal gas are confusions of ideas , do-
irium , muscular spaaing , convulsions and
taralyeis , unconsciousness , and failure of
the heart's action. In other words , unconsciousness -
consciousness is ono cf the last etagcr ,
\\hich \ leaves the natural Inference that
the victim knows what death ia until the
ory last boating of the heart. The suf-
cring must bo terrible , bccauso tha dura-
ion of the last struggle , in which Iho
"
iody is ontirdy passive" and prostrated ,
yhilo the minU retains every Impression
moro vividly than even in its normal
t'lto , Is not lees than thirty minutes , and
n 801110 CJ303 bngcr than an hour. Tliln
medical view of asphyxia from co.il gas ia
ubstantiatcd not only by Iho trnthfol
elations of porjona who have boon res-
: ucd while nature was about to succumb ,
iut also by the condition of the body af-
er death. The only irrational oymptom
disclosed by the scalpel of the operator Is
the presence of dark , vonoua bl jed in the
right side of the heart and the venous
system. The left chambers of the heart
contain only a small quantity of dark
colored blood , while the vessels of the
membrane and sinnises of the brain are
illed with it. This demonstrates plainly
that the brain was the last organ to suc
cumb.
cumb.What
What , then , is the remedy ? "I
; hlnk , " remarked one of the leading
plumbers in this city , when questioned
upon the subject , "mat an absolute safe
guard against escaping gas will sooner or
later be found. It may be of a nature
similar to that of the mercurial alarm in
case of fire , or it may be Borne very aim-
plo mechanical contrivance that shuts oil
the gas ell'ectively whether the switch is
icctdeutally or purposely left open.
There Is now an electrical arrangement
by which gas may bo lighted or extin
guished without using the switch at the
burner , but it is complicated , requires
constant attention , and its cftectlvonces
depends entirely upon the condition ol
the batterica which furnish the electric
ity. 1 do believe that accidents from
ebcaping gas aremostly duo to negligence ,
in the second place to defects in the fix
tures , and only in a few cases to Ignor-
inco. People who blow out the gas in
ihoir sleeping rooms , I believe , are very
scarce , although treating gas like a tallow
dip is supposed to bo qnitp frequent. "
The coroner's pocoealngs in all such
cases are singularly defective in that they
do not place the responsibility whore it
properly belongs. A very simple exami
nation of the gas fixtures In the room of
an asphyxiated poreon will quickly show
whether the switch key is provided with
checker which prevents the switch from
jolng turned completely around , thus ex-
ilnguishing the gas when half turned ,
and opening the pipe again if the circuit
a wholly or partially completed. The
ixpert referred to claims that there are
) Ut few fixtures without any checker , but
.hat the latter ia very apt to loosen and
'all out , or bo worn oil'so as to allow the
switch to bo turned beyond the point
where the gas Is completely shut off. The
chances are that nine cases out of ten a
missing or defective checker is the cause
of escaping gas. A complete safe-guard
against any accident by either iguoranco
or dofcctiva fixtures would bo to turn
the gas oil at the meter. The
; us contained in the fixtures
would then burn out and no
nore could escrpo. This remedy , however -
over , is not available , fur obvious reasons
"n hotels and other establishments whore
jas is used day and night , because it
would ufcosnitate a return to tbo old
'ashloned candlo-stlck for part of the
! mo. It could bo used , in private
houses , where it would not only prevent
any danger , but would bo a saving in the
iirection of the gas bill. To have a con-
; rivanco acting like a chimney over every
aurner would bo a good remedy , if the
: iocefaary draft could bo obtained. In
thatcaso the osciplnggaa would bo drawn
apward into some chimney or ventilator ,
instead of permeating the room. Butli
hotels , where most of the accidents occur ,
such a contrivance would bo out of the
question.
From all that can bo learned , the chock
at the Bwflch is the best rafoguard
igaintt escaping gas so far , but it is very
liable to fail in its purpose if the incut
rigid attention is not paid to the fixtures
Uere , then , Is a great field for the pro-
rorblal Amorictn inventive genius to
rind Bomo remedy or contrivance that wil
render the escaping cas harmless.

rero doccandlng the ridge which over
ookod the sleeping city they heard the
julck clatter of horeo hoofs and the ex
citing shouta of the porsumg party. Not
a minute was to bo lost. They spurred
up their jaded steeds and at last reached
the river bank. Their porsuers had boon
jainmg on them however , and the broad
Ohio rolled remorselessly between thorn
and the haven of their hopes.
A boat was drawn up on the levee ,
and , pushing it oil' , the expectant qrooin
iclped his trembling sweetheart to a seat
n the stern thwarts. Then , leaping in
limself , ho seized the oars and pulled for

When he reached the middle of the rlvor
the pursuing party galloped down the
Kentucky side. Another boat was pro
cured , quickly manned , and a half-dozen
pairs of strong arms propelled it toward
the runaways. When the first boot
touched the Ohio bank and the young
people leaped ashore , the pursuing party
was within 200 yards of them. Quickly
they ran to the house of Squire Beasley.
The old aquiro had boon called up to
unite a couple , and having performed the
ceremony , was about retiring. Suddenly
the door flow open and the hunted cauplo
dashed into the room.
"Quick 1" cried the man.'Wo [ are

There was borne to their ears a faint

"Jino hands 1" ho cried.
They obeyed.

girl."Yes.
"Yes. "
"Havo her ? " ho demanded of the
