and his body was discovered lying on
; the saw, which was tearing through
; his flesh back of the left shoulder and
1 was nearly through his body when
j his clothing caught in the guides and
stopped the saw. Mr. Seely asked for
a drink of water and then relapsed into

The (ias Flickered.
Tuerday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the
gas flickered tor awile, and then it flick
ered some more, and then it flicked. The
telephone at the gas office was continu
ally ringing, until Mr. Weidenboerner,
the urbane clerk, had his patience sorely
tried, but finally night came and with the
1 falling shades the gas came on once more,
and all was well. I Jut while the excite
ment lasted St. Marys was a busy place
i and there was a hurrying to and fro, and
i the hungry man coining home for sup
j per was obliged togo out and Imsth; f'oi'
i wood ; the merry rinjj ( ,f the woodsman's
! axe, reminding ono of the good old times
! when wood and coal were the only fuel.
! Old lamps were hunted up, filled and
I trimmed, candles were brought into re
i (piisition and many ate supper by the
j light ot other days. And tl/o whole
I stoppage of the gas supply only lasted
! about two hours, setting the people to
i pondering oti what it would be' like if the
j gas supply to become exhausted.
Wednesday morning fltefe was another
little shortage, but at present writing
everybody has gas to burn, 'i he Cause
of the shortage of gas was due to con
necting a new well.—St. Marys Gazette.
