Cardinal Gibbons had been asked

would be for the pope, the day after
his election, to receive a foreign pill

high dignitaries who had not yet been
admitted, including even the diploma

JANITOR FOUND
DEAD IN CHURCH.
Disconnected Gas Stove Pipe
Caused Accidental Asphyxia-
ton of John Hluchman.

The dead body of John Hluchman was
found yesterday morning in the study of
the Bethlehem Congregational Church at
Thirteenth and Allen streets. He had been
asphyxiated.
Hluchman, who had been ccatmaker
until few months ago, had been allowed
the use of the study of the church as
sleeping place, as be was in poor circum-
stances and was becoming gradually
blind.
AT different times he did work about the
church. and it was in consideration Of
this that he was permitted to occupy the
church study.
From the statement of John Hluchman.
a son OF the dead man. it appears that
the elder Hluchman had been drinking
considerably during the last three months,
and 1t is supposed that he went to his
room while in an intoxicated condition
and had neglected to turn off the. gas
from a gas stove which was in the study.
The hose connecting the gas fixture to
the stove had become disconnected, which
allowed the gas to escape into the room.
Once before similar accident had hap
pened to Hluchman, but the escaping gas
was discovered before it resulted fatally.
Hluchman was a native of Moravia,
Austria. He was GA years old and wild
over.

serve all the acts and engagements en-
tered into by former Governments with
