Asphyxiated by Gas

Mr.. Greer Burriss, of Southport re-
ceived a telegram Tuesday, informing
him of the sudden death of his son,
Mr.. j. E. Burriss, in Washington, D.
c., Monday night. We take the follow
ing from the Washington Post of yes
terday:
elisha Burriss, of Southport, N. c.,
was ~accidently asphyxiated by gas in
a room on a third floor of the Thyson
House, corner of Seventh and p. streets
northwest, some time Monday night.
He was found dead in his bed shortly
after Z O'Clock yesterday morning by a
c~hambermaid, who had detected the
odor of gas in the hall and traced it to
his room. Coroner Carr was notified,
and after giving a certificate of acci-
dental death had the remains removed
to the morgue, where they will be held
until claimed by relatives of the de-
ceased.
"Burrise, who had been employed on
a tug, came to Washington from Phil
adelphia Monday evening, and regis
tered at the ThysOn House about Z
O'Clock. Before retiring he called at
the house of a friend, G. S. Jones, also
from Southport, WHO resides with his
family at 2015 Ninth street northwest.
Mr.. Jones was out OF the city, how
ever, and Burriss returned to the hotel
! without seeing him.
ut was evidently the intention of the
deceased to stop over in Washington
n day only, and continue ON to South
port or a visit to his mother and sis
ter. Letters from them indicated that
they expected him, n cautioned him
to be careful of his savings and his
health. From the contents of the let
tiers it appears that he was on his first
trip away from home.
-"Burriss was well dressed and had
$40 in a pocket book which was found
| under his pillow. He had apparently
settled himself for a comfortable
nights repose, Is his overcoat vas
thrown I'VE the bed, forming an addi-
tional cover. In some manner he neg
i lected to turn off the gas properly, and
its steady flow all night resulted in his
death. Immediately after his body was
discovered DR.. Miller was summoned,
| but decided that death had occurred
| several hours before.
The police department notified his
relatives in Southport, N. c., yesterday
afternoon, and ft is expected that the
remains will be sent there today"
The remains of the deceased were ex-
pected in Wilmington yesterday even
ing but will not arrive till his morn
ing. They will be taken to Southport
for interment. The friends of the be-
reaved family deeply sympathize with
them over this sad occurrence.
