McKeesport. Pa, Oct. 4.-John Heilman

cation by gas last night. They were en-
ployed by the National Tube Works and
were attempting TO remove a platform
inside a stack above the roof of the
building. which had TO be torn down
before the fires were started. Heffner
was lowered from the top of the stack.
He took a crow bar with him, intending
TO smash the boards of the platform.
Workmen on the outside of the stack
heard him strike the boards several times
and then shout to the men TO pull him
up. Almost half way up the crowbar
was heard to drop, and when Heffner
was within eight feet of the top of the
stack which is about thirty feet high,
he was heard falling. evidently overcome
by gas.
Heilman Immediately went down the
stack after Heffner. He was overcome
by gas before he was half way down
and was unable TO signal the men above.
A large force of men were immediate
" put to work cutting a hole in the
stack at the bottom. When the bodies
were reached IL was found that they were
both dead. 1t is supposed that the drers
turned the gas on in the furnace with
