The Elberfield Gazette prints curious Franco German war death data with 95.5 percent of German wounded from Chassepot bullets and 95 percent of French wounded from artillery. It notes 25,000 French struck by German artillery, 23,000,000 total cartridges fired in six months, averaging five per man per month. It also recounts a local marriage anecdote and a planning note about Syracuse road bonds and a breach of promise case, with garbled details and dated editorial flavor.
