THREE MEN OVERCOME IN AN
OIL STILL.
Two OF The1a Die-Two Laborers Burned
by an Explosion OF Boiling
ROsin.

EINDLAY, Ohio, Dec S.-Thres men were
overcome by gas in one Of the stills Of the
Peerless oil refinery in this city and Of them
two are dead. A run was made in the still
yesterday afternoon and it was opened al
night to let the gas escape. The gas from
the eyaporated oil is very heavy and es-
capes slowly. This morning William
Llghtfoot entered the still through the
inal-hole at tho top to clean it, He had no
sooner reached the bottom and stopped
down than he was overcome by the deadly
gas, which still hung low in the bottom of
the still. Eph Werrick, a companion, who
was on top Of the still, cried for help and
descended to rescue Lightfoot. AS soon as
he reached the bottom and bent over to
pick up the fallen man the gas overcame
him and he fell PROSTATE by the side Of
Lightfoot
Workmen had by this time gathered
O'Connell tied q rope about his body and
descended with another rope, which he
made fast to the feet Of Werrick By the
time he had accomplished this much the gas
overcame him. He was instantly drawn up
by his companions. After being few
minutes ia the fresh air he recovered con-
seriousness, but is still very ILL., As soon as
O'Connell was pulled out the men pulled
out Werrick by the rope which had been
attached to his legs, and other men de-
scended into the still and by careful work
succeeded in raising the body OF Lightfoot.
Efforts were made to resuscitate WerxiclS
and Lightfoot in vain. Lightfoot leaves a
wife and three children. Werrick was also
married and had a family in Blufton
