NARROW ESCAPE OF
THE CAREY FAMILY Y
The Members Overcome by Coal Gas,
and Are Rescued Just in Time to
Escape Death by Asphyxiation.

The family of Michael CAREY, of
South Terrace street. had a narrow es-
cape from being asphyXiated by coal
gas on Saturday night. Their escape
from it's dire effects was due to one Of
the family, Miss Laura, being laid up
with a cold. During the night she was
awakened several times with coughing
spells. and at o'clock noted the un-
natural breathing of her mother, whose
room was near her. She went into the
room to investigate and spoke to her
mother, but on receiving no answer,
suspected that something had happened
and vigorously slapped her on the face
until she awakened. Mr.. CAREY also
awakened.
Mrs. CAREY had no more than got
her eyes open when she succumbed.
Miss Sarah. who occupied an adjoining
room, was awakened by the noise in
her mothers room; and arose from her
bed. She fell away as soon as her
feet touched the floor. but was uncon-
scous but u few seconds, the shock Of
the fall restoring her to her senses.
The smell of the coal gas was very
strong, and she realized what was
wrong. Catching up her young brother,
the window. On her way she fell away
again and with her burden fell down
the flight OF stairs.
In the meantime, Mr.. CAREY had
opened the windows, allowing the fresh
air in, and then dashed out to the
neighbors. He succeeded in arousing
several, who gave prompt aid in get
ting the sufferers near the open WIN
dows, and Mr.. Garry FASTENED for
medical assistance.
DR.. John Niles responded. and admin
istered medicine to counteract the ef-
fects of the gas. Mr.. CAREY almost
tainted while in the Doctors office, and
staggered to and back from there.
Yesterday Mrs. CAREY and Sarah
We're confined to their beds. while the
remaining members of the family We're
able to be around the house Miss
Sarah received Il bad cash over her eye
by falling down the stairs, and JOAN,
who was in her arms, had a slight cut
on his lip.
All the family slept on the second
story The gas arose from the Sperl
heater. and was probably due to the
wet coal used early in the evening.
Owing to the flood, water had entered
the cellar and ran into the coal-bin.
The gas, on accommodating, blew off the
entire cover of the heater and then
found it's way to the various parts of
the house. The smell of gas had been
in the house soon after the fire was
fixed and before the family had retired.
but no notice had been taken of it, as
the members of the family who noticed
the smell thought it would soon wear
away.
All of the family have been pro-
nounced out of danger, and although
Mrs. CAREY and Sarah are very i'll
from the effects, yet they will be able
to be around in Il short time.
Saturday night was the first night in
two weeks that Mr.. CAREY had been at
home, as his work demands his atten-
tion at night

How The Tribune Was the Only Pa
per in Carbondale Saturday Morn

How The Tribune Was the Only Pa
per in Carbondale Saturday Morn
ing.
1t is modestly stating a fact, we be-
leve, when we say The Tribune has u
habit of giving the people all the news
in the best manner and under all cir
cumstances, no matter how adverse,
and what the cost might be.
This habit was in evidence on Satur-
day in the face of the big flood that
swept the valley, paralyzing railroad
traffic and making the roads extremely
hazardous for driving. In the face of
these obstacles, Tribune enterprise, as
usual, asserted itself and early in the
evening, when it was certain that no
trains would go to Scranton, the man
agement of the Carbondale branch Of
flee of the paper arranged to get the
news to Scranton by means of the pony
express. regardless of the inconveni-
ence or danger. The Tribune's readers
must have the news and through their
favorite paper and they did have 1t in
detail early Saturday morning, hours
before any other paper saw sight of
Carbondale. 1t was done only through
well 1t dOeSn matter now SO lolS
as the readers were served.
How our esteemed contemporary, the
Evening Leader, regarded the achieve
ment may be seen in the following
which appeared in its issue of Satur-
day:
The only paper that reached here
this morning was the Scranton Trib-
une, and their arrival was due only to
the enterprise and daring of two Car
bondalians: Martin II. O'Malley. the
local manager of The Tribune, and his
assistant. Thomas V. Nealon No
trains We're running last night. so in
order to get the news to Scranton
Messrs. O'Maley and Nealon hired a
livery rig and braved the floods. They
had a terrible time and We're nearly
swept away on several occasions: the
water in some places reaching as high
as the horses shoulders. The occu-
pants of the buggy had to stand upon
the seat to escape the water. They
reached Scranton, however, about mid
night and returned this morning with
a big roll of papers,"

JESSUp.

The severe storm of Friday did con-
siderable damage to this town, espec-
tally in the SterriclS Creek Patch where
all the streets and cellars were flood
ed. 1t seems that Michael Hznay, pro-
prietor of the Hizna house, was the
greatest looser, having his cellar which
contained several hundred dollars
worth of merchandise, filed with
water. All the curb and sidewalk on
Depot street We're washed out. The
Sterrick Creek mine was flooded out
and as a result will be idle a few days.
Some parts of the Mt. Jessup mine
were filled to the roof. This colliery
has been idle the past month and will
not be ready to resume operation be-
fore at least another month, owing to
some extensive repairs being made on
the breaker.

Effects OF THE FLOOD
APPARENT EVERYWHERE
The Lackawanna River Never so
High as on Saturday Evening.
Much Damage to Public and Pri-
vate Property.

In it's history the Lackawanna river
was never so high as it was Saturday
evening and yesterday. The water be-
gan to rise Saturday afternoon and
was steadily rising Saturday evening
until after 8 o'clock, when it began to
recede
It's highest point was reached at 9
O'clock when it came within eighteen
inches from the bottom of the arch in
the center of the Sixth avenue bridge.
on the sides, where the arch narrowed
down, the rush of water dashed against
the bridge and splashed upon the per-
sons on the bridge.
Grave alarm was felt for the safety
of the bridge, and hundreds viewed the
scene. All We're of one opinon-if the
water reached the bottom of the arch.
considerable damage would be caused
on River street and Sixth avenue. Yes
terday morning the water began to rise
again and late in the afternoon ii was
almost up to Saturday nights point,
when it again began to recede. and last
evening there seemed no cause for
further anxiety.
A rumor gained credence through the
city Saturday night of the unsafety of
Saltwater dam, located above Forest
City, but messages received from that
vicinity stated that there was little
danger of the large dam bursting.
Yesterday SightseerS We're out in
force. and the banks above the river
, bed and the bridges were visited by
numbers running over the thousand
mark.
The rush of water in Fallbrook river
has receded greatly, and it is now safe
to cross the bridge. The fury of the
flood is now spent, but there is scarcely
part of the city which does not show
the ravages of the elements. The great
est loss to private property has been
caused on Brooklyn street, while the
damage on Wayne and Park streets,
and Seventh avenue, means Il consid-
cradle loss to the city.
AS Il result of the flood, those thor
oushfares are in an lmpassable condi-
/ tion, and the city will be placed at n
! considerable expense to have the places
again in condition for traffic The
havoc was caused by the water which
poured from the old workings of the
, Last Chance mines, on the East Side
, mountain.
y couple of years ago. it is said. the
Temple Iron company changed the
. course of the water from its Last
Chance mine, making an opening into
, the old Dickie Jones mine. 1t has since
. then found an outlet on the hillside
east of the city, back of the property
or George W. Hughes, on Wayne street.
Much of the water from the sheds east
or the city finds its way into those
workings, and Friday afternoon its vol
ulne became so greut that IL brol,a
through the opening in the side of the
hill with the fury of river. Saturday
morning the stream was at its highest
point, and wrought great havoc.
