Washington, Aug. 10.-The monthly re-
port OF the statistician of the department

Gas Filled the House.

The family of County Treasurer Reed
had narrow escape from asphyxiation
Sunday night. Mr.. Reed was away
from home. About o'clock Mrs. ReeG
was awakened by the barking of the
family watchdog confined in the cellar.
She arose, but when she attempted tc
walk she fell to the loor and was unable
to move. Miss Kate, Il daughter, heard
the noise and arose to make an investi-
cation and she also fell to the floor. BY
this time the son, Stanley, was awaken
ed and he hurried to his mothers room.
and, detecting the strong odor of gas
and realizing the cause Of her prostra-
tion, threw open window and carried
Mrs. Reed where she could inhale fresh
air. He then hastened to his sisters
room and by the same method brought
about her recovery. A subsequent in
vestigation revealed that gas pipe had
been broken by the settling of the earth
and the full force of it had poured into
the house.
