A Sad Cnse-A Man and His Wife sufTo-
 cated by Gas.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 24.-Yesterday Mrs Wal lace wife of Thomas Wallace, who is em- ployed as a baker by Mir. George Engeman at No. 362 Pearl street, came from Trenton New Jersey, where she is living with her daughter, to visit her husband. It was so cold that her husband persuaded her not to return home until the weather moderated He had gas stove in his room and thought that they would be very comfortable. They re- tired early last night, leaving the gas stove burning. MT. Wallace had only just pur- chased the stove and had never tried it be- fore. This morning Thomas McKane, who is also employed by Mir. Engeman, went to call Mir. Wallace, but could get no answer He then got an officer and they went to the door, and hearing groans the officer forced an entrance. The gas which came from the room Mas so strong that they could scarcely breathe. They opened the windows and found that Mrs. Wallace was dead and MT. Wallace insensible. A physician was called, and every effort was made to resuscitate him, but the doctor could give no hope of his re- covery. The coroner was notified.
