The New York Sunday World says : as
John H. Beatty, the night clerk of the
Hotel St. Andre, at No. 11 East Eleventh
street, was passing the main stairs of the
building he noticed a strong smell of gas,
which he finally traced to a room on the,
first floor, having windows overlooking
Eleventh street. The clerk gained ac-
cess to the room by means of the iron
balcony which fronts the building. | In
the room was found a young man lying
in bed, unconscious. He was tightly
wrapped in the bed-clothing and had a
handkerchief tied over the lower part of
his face.

delier of four burners and called Mr, A,

A Fortunate Adventurer.
The recent dispate h aunouncing the
discovery of gold on the Yukon river
in Alaska recalls one of the romantic
experiences of Western mining life,
The Alaska discoverer, whose name
should have been given as Seheiffelin,
instead of Schuffeli-—as was telegraphed
~4is the man who located the rich
mines at Tombstone, Arizona, and
founded and pamed the town. The
story of the *'find’ is a remarkable one.
“Ed Scheiffelin, with his brothers and
one or two companions, was prospecting
in Seuthern Arizona some four or five
years ago, when the country contained
comparatively few white men and was
overrun by hostile Apaches, The party,
in Western parlance, were ‘down on
their luck." They had made no strikes,
and their supplies were running low,
It was a condition of affairs which
Scheiffelin was inured to, for he had
been so reduced as to live on meal and
beans given him in camp as an act of
charity. Finally they resolved, in des
peration, (to start across into what is
