month for sitting in an office will re-
sign in a few weeks to wash dishes
and cook for love and her board.

A certain Atchison woman is always
invited to serve the brick ice-cream at

the Binghamton Gas Works, son of F.

the Binghamton Gas Works, son of r.
W. Wheeler Of Monroe, John D.
Douglass, superintendent Of the works,
and Henry r. Devinne, who is employed
at the works, were overcome by gas June
20 about 10 o'clock, and for a time
their condition was considered precarioue.
The men were suffocated by the gas in
the purifying room, one of the lower
chambers Of the gas house, where
stoppage in the pipes had occurred.
Water in the pipe prevented the free
passage Of gas and Mr. Douglas and Mr.
Devinne went down to clear the pipe.
The two men were suddenly overcome by
the gas and Mr. Wheeler made an attempt
to rescue them, but was himself over
powered by the strong chemical. The
three men were hastily taken from the
room and out Of doors, and DR. w. H.
Knapp OF No. &c Carroll street was sum-
moned. When the doctor arrived the
men appeared dead, the gas having so
effected them that to the ordinary obser-
yer little signs of life were discernible.
The doctor gave the men hyperdermic in
jections to stimulate the heart action and
with massage treatment and other means
finally brought them around 80 that he
was able to pronounce them out of i'm
mediate danger.
Mr. Wheeler was removed to his home,
No. 80 Walnut street, in the ambulance
at IL 45 a. m. and was not brought out OF
it till p. M, five or six people working
over him constantly, Mr. Devinne to his
| residence, No. 2S1 Cours street, and Mr.
Douglass to his home, No 291 Court
street, next to the gas works. The acct
| dent happened about 1O. O'Clock and from
Knapp was occupied In attending the
men. Such happening is never known
to have occurred before at the local
| works.
Later news: Mr. Wheeler Is now about
as usual.
