Canfselds' Servant.
 Bridgeport. Feb. 21.-An examination Of the stomach of Linda Anderson, the Swedish servant who was found dead in the residence of Joseph Garfield. was made to-day by Dr. e. c. Godfrey, the assistant medical examiner. Dr. God frey tested the stomach and it's contents for lead. strychnine and hydrocyanic acid, but found no trace of any of these Doisors. The autopsy made Friday in- dicated that death was due either to carbon 1nonozide (coal gas) poisoning or the hydrocyanic acide As the test made to-day failed to disclose the presence of the latter poison, pr. Godfrey is con- vinaed that coal gas was the cause of the death if Miss Anderson and her ern- ployer, Joseph B. Garfield.

Badly Rarneh by Expioston.

East Hartford. Feb 21--By the ex- plosion of a five gallon gasoline tank Floyd Leavitt and Harry Holland were seriously burned this afternoon.

The presence of mind of both men probably saved their lives, for they immediately rolled themselves in the snow. Despite their prompt action, however, they were badly burned.
