Caterers Domestic Suffers from Gas
 Twice in Week.
 Twice within week Antonia Hos lkins, domestic employed by a local caterer, has been taken to Grace hos pital suffering from gas poisoning. She was found unconscous in her room yes terday morning with gas escaping from jet, the valve of which was partly open. The police ambulance took her to the hospital where her condition was reported as promising recovery.
 Several days ago Miss Hoslxins and another domestic who occupied q room with her in the same establishment had a similar experience, both succumbing to the effects of the gas and requiring hospital treatment. Tn this instance, as in the former one, the gas cock is supposed to have been turned on by accident through unfamiliarity with the handling of gas fixtures.

LIGHT FOR DUCK ISLAND.
ONE NEEDED THERE ron PUB
 LIG SAFETY.

Harbor of Refuge and Why 1t should
 Exist-The Attention of Coaneeti-
 cuts Representatives in Congress
 Called to the subject by the Chamber
 of Commeree.
 The full text of the petition to con gress by New Hayen's Chamber of Commerce Monday night is as follows:
 New Haven, Conn.,. Dec. 1s, 1904 Hon. N. D. sperry Representative in
 Congress of Connecticut:
 Also to other members of the connecti-
 cut Delegation. Washington. D. C.:
 Gentlemen:
 The Chamber Of Commerce of New Haven respectfully represents that it is difficult and hazardous to ap- preach the harbor of refuge at Duck Island. off the town of westbrook, Conn, in the night time, owing to the absence of a lighthouse. and that by reason of there being no adequate light. vessels are frequently obliged to go back to New London or to New HIven, and often are imperiled in so doing
 We respectfully represent that a har- bor of refuge is most needed during the night, especially when the weather is very bad, and that it is of great inn portance to navigation that a suitable lighthouse shall be. erected at this point with a light visible at distance of from six to eight miles, and your peti- tioners request that if practicable, the light should have a red sector, so ad- justed that it will, cove Stony Island ledge, situated off the town of Clinton, and show a white light when clear of said ledge.
 We also respectfully represent that it is important to the interests of naviga- tion that the additional breakwaters ap- proved by the engineer department be constructed.
 Respectfully submitted.
 In explaining the need of this i'm provement Henry c. Rowe said:
 This improvement is one which is of moment to all owners of coasting ves- sells, and while it is of great interest to the commerce of New Haven and all concerned in 1t, an appropriation for this purpose will not be charged against New Haven, as it is a benefit to all commerce passing through the eastern part of Long Island sound.
 The harbor of refuge at Duck Island is a project which was recommended by the engineer department and ap- proved by congress in 1890. It calls for the construction of three breakwaters, the west one 5000 feet long, and ex- tending westerly from Duck Island. The middle one 750 feet long, and extending northeasterly from Duck Island. The third, or easterly one, is to be 1,150 feet long, and extending from Menunketes- uck Point, 1,15O feet southeasterly.
 The westerly breakwater had expend- ed upon 1t $128, 8,OOO prior to the year 1900, and itself provided considerable protection. It is nearly completed, it having reached within 2S0 feet of the 5000 approved. The other two break waters have. as yet had nothing done upon them, and it is important that an appropriation should be made to com Tence the work upon it at least one of of them.
 The importance of this harbor of refuge is shown by the fact that 1t is the only considerable harbor of refuge between New London and New Haven, and is situated about midway between. When vessel sare caught in bad wealth ! CT between New London and New Ha-
