GAS SMOTHERS AN ARTIST.
HENRY BEARD FOUND UNCONSCIOUS N
HIS BED
PHYSICIANS WORK OVER HIM FOR HOURS
LITTLE HOPE OF HIS REcovERY-Two
BURNERS SUPPLIED BY ONE
COCK IN HOTEL ROOM.

Henry Beard, artist OF considerable re putas
ton, who lives at Flushing, L. l., and has his
studio at No. l10 Fifthave, this city, went to the
Homestead Hotel, at Fifty -nnth-st and Sixth
ave-, on Saturday and stayed there in the barroom
drinking until an early hour yesterday morning.
lie then took room in the hotel, as he had often
done before, and went 10 bed, telling the pro-
prietor. Edward Coffey, TO have him awakened az
o'clock yesterday afternoon. lie went to bed
and nothing was heard of him until o'clock,
when boy was sent to call him. The boy got no
response to his raps and summoned the proprietor,
who broke open the door, which was locked.
The room was filled with gas, and Beard was lying
unconscious but still alive. on the
bed. DR.. J. L. Newcomb, of No. 13l West
Sixty -frst-st and DR.. Mckenzie, of No 307 West
Fifty second-st., were at once summoned, and went
to work at once to resuscitate their patient
They labored until o'clock in the evening,
when not having aroused Beard TO consciousness,
they summoned an ambulance to take him to the
Roosevelt Hospital When he arrived there the
hospital staff attempted to restore the patient to
consciousness. They used an oxygen bag and tried
artificial respiration but in spite of all their efforts
Beard slowly sank. They were still endesvorins
to save his life at a late hour last night, but
thought that he would die before morning.
The asphyxiation was undoubtedly accidental.
In the room in which Beard went to sleep there
were two yas-burners, which were controlled by
a single cock. He probably turned the cock and
lighted one burner, which still lighted
when he was discovered and the gas poured out
of the cock in such quantities as to fill the room
and TO suffocate Beard.
Beard about forty years old, and was an
artist Of considerable merit. He made pictures
for books and illustrated papers, and did other
work Of similar nature. He closely re-
lated to J. H. Beard, the famous painter.

ING AND THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO
Baltimore. Nov. II 6pecial.-Engineers OF both
the Pcpnsylvania and Baltimore and OHIO Railroad
comnanias are Surveying lines from the Cumberland
Valley westward to the Broad Top and Cumberland
coal regions There Is now road IN operation from
Mount Dallas in Bedford County to Huntington,
known as the Huntington and Broad Top Mountain
Railroad This line Is controlled by the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad, and Is the most direct route
by which coal can be shipped from the Cumberland
coal fields TO the Pennsylvania Railroad. The latter
road now owns line running from Cumberland to
Mount Dallas The coal passes over this last men
toned line to Mount Dallas, and thence over the
Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Road to Hunt
ingion where II passes again to the Pennsylvania
RAILROAD To get the coal the Pennsylvania Company
is Obliged TO pay the Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany a heavy wheel toll. This Is what the Pennsyl-
vania Road desires TO avoid and could do so by
extending the Cumberland Valley Roads South Bend
branch westward. The Reading Road intends to cross
the Susquehanna at Harrisburg, connect with the
Harrisburg and Potomac, which 1t owns. run on to
Shippensburg, and there connect with the Western
Maryland. The Harrisburg Terminal Company,
which is the Reading under another name has secured
the right of way and will begin 10 build the
bridge at Harrisburg. When the Reading reaches
Shippensburg 1t will have two outlets 10 the West,
and it is now considering both routes and making
surveys on both. One is By way of the Baltimore
and Cumberland Valley branch of the Western Mary
land through Chambersburg to williamsport, Md.
A gap of only nine miles remains to be closed IN
order TO tap the Baltimore and Ohio Road at Cherry
Run. That the Western Maryland is anxious and
willing to close up this gap is shown by the fact that
their engineers began work upon IL three weeks ago
This would make one Western outlet for the Reading
The other route is new line from the valley west
TO tap the Baltimore and Ohio in Bedfor County
and this IS what the Reading and Baltimore and Ohio
roads are working at now. The Reading engineers
arrived in Shippensburg last week. and have been
running lines westward From shippensburg to the
nearest point the Baltimore and Ohio in Bedford
County is sixty four miles, while the Cumberland
Valley Road would have an air line distance of only
twenty-seven miles TO 60 before it reached the Penn
sylVana Road Mount Dallas.
