SUFFOC ArED TO DEATH.-A man named
J. ii. Brown, who came TO this place about
one week ago, SAYS the JOhnStOwn Tribune
Of Monday, was suffocated early yesterday
morning at No. ; blast furnace, where he
was employed. 1t seems that he had got
through with his work for the sine being,
and settled himself comfortably for a nap,
with his head resting near pipe through
which passes a stream of Valy poisonous gas.
There was probably flaw in the pipe, as
the unfortunate man inhaled a sufficient
quantity of the gas to produce death. When
his feIlO We emplOyes were about To quit work
and leave the furnace one of them stopped
to shake Mr.. Brown, thinking he had only
fallen asleep. Seeing that he did not move,
an examination was made, and it was found
that he was dead. The deceased lad been
boarding at the house Of a man named Nc
Laughlin, in Cambria City and thither the
body was taken, but Mr.. Mclaughlin de-
clined to receive it. Undertaken Bloch then
removed it TO his place of business on Rail-
road street, and was of course obliged to
bury it as soon as possible. The funeral
took place at half-past 10 O'Clock, the inter-
ment being made in Sandyvale Cemetery -
The deceased had neither relatives nor
friends in this place. and was buried at the
expense of the county.

duction:

immediate vicinity of small squad of the ambt-

taken prisoners. He was suspected OF being In
sympathy with the foreigners, and was obliged TO

TO be hung. and nineteen of them were executed
before Mr. Easlys eyes. His turn had just come
