Precautions In Other Cities.

THAT this subject is deemed of pressing
Importance in other municipalities is evi-
denced by the report made to the Massa-
chusetts legislature by the board of gas
and electric light commissioners of the
city of Boston on February 20, 1897. The
report states that four propositions have
been considered by the board. First To
require the use, in the sleeping rooms of
hotels and lodging houses, of some kind of
burner from which the gas cannot escape
except when lighted. Second. To prohibit
the use of gas in sleeping rooms which
contain less than a definite number of
cubic feet. Third. To provide for the sys-
tematic inspection of gas fixtures and pip
ing by some duly authorized public officer
Fourth. To define by statute the amount
of earbonc oxide or other ingredient which
may exist in the gas, and to prohibit the
distribution of gas containing an excess of
such ingredients
THE apparent conclusion reached by this
board respecting the third method is that
tie number of fixtures, estimated at LOO :
coo burners, in the city of Boston is pro-
hibitory of the proposed inspection. 1 do
not agree with this conclusion, but con-
slider 1t entirely feasible to make periodic
inspections of the condition of a very large
number of gas fixtures If the requisite an
thorization can be secured.

WAS FRANK MURDERED.
Autopsy Surrounds the Death With
Suspicion-Frank in Bad Com.
pauy Saturday Night.

Coroner S. p. Longstreet, after an
autopsy performed yesterday on the
body of John Frank, jr., the man who
died at the police station Sunday
morning, decided that from the nature
of Franks injuries death may have
been the result of foul play. The frac-
ture at the base of the mans skull may
have been caused by blows from a
blunt instrument and not by a fall
over the retaining wall of the Jersey
Central road into the Lackawanna
river, where the man was found.
The Tribune is able this morning to
state that Frank was seen early Sat
urday evening in company with two
Polanders on the South Side. Frank
was intoxicated and Patrolman Sartor
thought it better to take him from the
clutches of the men. He was sent in
the direction of his home in West
Scranton, and the two men apparently
went in another direction.
What this clue may lead to is a mat
ter of time and investigation. The
police are at work on the case. Frank s
body was removed yesterday to his
home, 501 North Hyde Park avenue.
1t is suspected that a Polander who
appeared in the South Side police court
Sunday morning and who was thought
to have held up" a pedestrian the
preceding night, hut who was dis
charged, was one of the pair i'm Frank S
company. An effort is being made to
locate him

BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Dunmore Woman Beeten Into Insensi-
bility By the Gill Brothers--her
Condition Serious.

Two Dunmore desperadoes, Frank
and Michael Gill, brothers, were held
under bail by Justice of the Peace
Cooney, of Dunmore, last night for an
assault on Mrs. NJ. e. Mitchell house
keeper of John AthertOn, saloon
keeper.
The assault was most brutal and may
result in Mrs. Mitchelrs death. Last
night she was in such serious con-
dition that she could not appear against
the Gills.
The young men entered Atherton'S
place of business last Thursday night.
Atherton had been i'll and was at the
time in bed in an upstairs room. Mrs.
Mitchell was behind the bar. The Gills
demanded a drink, saying at the time
that they would not pay for it. After
a wrangle, Mrs. Mitchell elected
Michael Gill from the house. She also
seized the other brother, but he vic
iOusly struck back at her. Both are
powerful men. The woman finally
went behind the bar and got base
ball bat.
With this she struck at Frank Gill.
knocking him to the floor. Mean
while Michael, known as sheriff" Gill,
had re-entered the house and the two
brothers assailed the woman. She
fought Viciously, but was thrown to
the floor and kicked and beaten into
insensibility.
Frank Gill kept the crowd back with
a drawn revolver. The woman was
carried to bed and DIR. Brown sum-
moned. He found that her breast bone
Is fractured and her head is covered
with cuts and bruises
Constable Timothy Jones arrested the
Gills last night on a warrant sworn
out before Alderman John T. Howe,
They entered bail in the sum Of $500.
