TWO SERVANTS AsPHYX|ATED.
Slept While Gas Poured Out from
One Of the Jets.
Unconscious When Their Employer
Discovered Them.

Kate Pomfrey. a cook, tw~enty.seven
years old. and Grace Terone, nurse.
seventeen years old, employed In the
household of George C. Field, an oil
merchant. living at 17s Warren street,
Brooklyn. narrowly escaped losing their
lives this morning by inhaling gas.
The girls went to their room on the
top floor at Q o'clock last night. They
intended to arise early this morning so
as to prepare breakfast before going
to church. When the family went
downstairs at s o'clock the girls were
not there, and no breakfast had been
prepared. On going upstairs Mrs. Field
smelled n strong odor Of gas. She
called her husband, and the door Of the
girls room was opened. The girls were
lying across the bed, unconscious. They
were taken to the Long Island COLLEGE
Hospital. At noon they were still un-
able to speak.
A member of Mrs. Fields's family said
the girls would probably have been suf-
located had not one OF them been in the
habit Of leaving a light burning In her
room while she slept. One of the gas
Jets was turned on nearly half way. The
girls, before retiring, had lighted a kerr
osene lamp and stood It on n table. The
doctors told the family that a great
amount of gas had been consumed by
he oil lamp. The consumption was
gradual and there had been no danger of
an explosion.
The hospital physicians say the girls
will probably recover.

BIG DROP IN MAY WHEAT.
Foreign Marketing Forces the Amer
lean Product Down to 68%.

May wheat is steadily dropping. 1t is
at a lower price than any of the MEM
bers Of the Produce Exchange ever recol-
lect of seeing before.
The lowest price to-day was 66 7-S cents,
as against 81 rs cents yesterday. Chi
Cages low mark yesterday was 60 "a
cents. To-day IT went off t~hree-uarters
of a cent to 81. There is little or no ex-
element on the Produce Exchange in
this city. as the brokers accept the state
of affairs as natural under the existing
circumstances
Just at this time" said Henry T.
Hebert. one of the big dealers, 1T Is
harvest time in other countries and they
are marketing their product. So you
see this forces us to sell our wheat
pretty cheap. The cheapness of silver
has little or nothing to do with the
prices of wheat. Heavy Nports are
being made from Argentine Republic
and India, and until these exports cease
MAY wheat will remain very low.
"Of course. bad weather may change
the status of affairs, but at present, the
market is yielding to the old law OF
supply and demand. Our visible supply
comprises over SO, 900, 600 bushels. and our
exports are very light. May wheat now
Is lower than any one ever remembers
Mr.. Hobart said that very Few large
deals were being made. Everyone seem
ed to be waiting for something TO turn
up. 1t is said that odd Hutch predicts
that May wheat will yet sell In Chicago

MCCARTHY ExTORT|oN CASE.
Grand Jury May Consider the
Evidence To-Day.
Foreman Oelrichs Has n Long Talk
with MIR. Lindsay.

The Observation-Disclosures affair will
probably be taken up by the Grand Jury
to-day, and it is SAT- that more effectual
pressure will be brought to rear upon
the Jurors to sift the matter to the bot
tom. The January Grand Jury was in
duced to drop the investigation, but Supt.
Byrnes announced that he would make
every effort to bring about the indict-
ment of the men in connection with the
alleged extortion and blackmail charged
by Mrs. Mccarthy.
Foreman Herman Oelrichs. OF the pres
n Grand Jury, was closetted with Assist
ant District-Attorney Lindsay for half
- hour this morning. He arrived at the
General Sessions Building at 10 o'clock,
one hour before the Grand Jury con-
venes. and the two held a conference be-
bolted doors.
When Mr.. Oelrichs came out he had
under his arm a bundle Of typewriter
testimony, and Immediately went into
the secret chambers of the grand inquis-
itors.
1t IS said that the matter will be pushed
from the fact hat evidence of careless
ness from the Yorkville Police Court
turned up yesterday. Papers in Excise
cases. which should have been In the
Distrlct-Attorney's possession months
ago, were only received by him yester-
day. Conrad NJ. Smyth, who until re-
Gently was chief clerk of that court, and
whose name was mentioned in connec-
ton with that of Mrs. Mccarthy, is said
to be responsible for the delay.
All the officials of the Distrtct-Attor
ney's office are as reticent about the Nc
earthly matter as they were when Supt.
Byrnes first submitted It to the Crane
Jury. 1t is known, however, that Col.
