saturday night they went to bed AT ocioch' pc
fore retiring OF the sisters In preparing ue s'o>e
for the night left the damper In the sovepipe shu'
of. The top OF the stove Is either lost OF prohe'
for a tin pie plate was used cover for the SELF
feeding cylinder. The women also LETT the PIE pia'e
Off the stove and consequently the gas escaped 10 the
room 1t has been the habit OF the two old women 10
rise in the morning at O'Clock, but they dd not 40
so Yesterday morning. and still nothing was thought
70 be wrong until Miss Mabel Haner, who had made
several purchases for the old women on Saturday
night. to their rooms at 10 O'CLOCK yesterday
morning to give them their things.
Mabel knocked several times at their sittnsroom
door and on receiving answer opened the door
and Went in. and she did so the gas nearly sthed
her; but realizing In an instant what had happened
shc ran 10 IA window and threw up the sash ana
then pccred into the bedroom where she saw Mrs.
Miller living with her face buried in a pillow. and
Mrs. Julian with her body half hanging out OF DEL
her head nearly touching the floor. Miss Mabel
pucked I'D courage and ventured In the r0onl ana

summoned. and with the help Of several persons
applied every restorative TO resuscltate them
For over hours Dr. Magness ard his assistants
worked, and finally at p. m. Mrs. Miller came 10
her senses but shortly aferward she again became
uncons scious and although strong efforts were made
to revive her. still her condition was critical ana the
doctor last night that she might die at any mo-
mcnt. Mrs. Julians condition was amo't As BAD.
The fact that she lay witt her head hanging nowl
caused congestion and makes her chances OF recovery
slight. Although Dr. Magness spent the day at III.
bed sides Of the old women. he said last nleht tha'
their recovery was extremely doubtful Every means
10 resuscate Mrs. Julian proved OF no avail. ana
when reporter left the house late last night she was
