Family of James A. Hynes ef Walnut
 Stett Had Narrow Escape

A defective fue at the residence of
 James A. Hynes. 273 Walnut street.
 came near depriving him of his wife and family early yesterday morning,
 and the family physician claims that
 MT Hynes himself owes his life to the fact he was not at home at the time.
 About 3 o'clock Mrs Hynes awoke
 with 3 raging headache and called ner son, George 4. Hynes, who occu-
 pied an adjoining room. The young man jumped out of bed and hurried
 to the kitchen but when he reached there he was suffocated by coal gas and fell against the stove, breaking the bridge of his nose and remained there until his brother, James, who was asleep in a room on the second floor heard the noise and came down stairs and picked him up. Miss Sa- die Hynes was also affected by the gas. but had presence of mind enough
 to scramble to the telephone and call Dr McLarney. The doctor ans- wered, but the girl was not able to tell him what was the matter and after requesting him to hurry to the residence of Mir Hynes on Walnut street. she collapsed and had to be carried to another part of the build- ing. Mrs Tucker, an elderly lady, who lives with the Hynes family, was overcome by the fumes and for a time 1t was thought that she would not recover. When the doctor reach ed the house, the whole family with the exception of James, needed im- mediate attention and from shortly after 3 o'clock until we'll along in the forenoon he was busy ministering to them. Some of them were deathly sick and if the alarm had not been sounded so soon all who were sleep- ing on the first floor would have been asphyxiated. MT Hynes was on a business trip to Philadelphia and heard nothing of the affair until he came home last night. An investi- gation showed that brick or two had fallen out of the chimney and this 1t is thought hindered the draught and when the windows were shut down and doors closed for the night the ges remained in the house and soon made itself felt on the sleeping inmates. Such occurrences are not at all rare and yet very few take steps to secure themselves against such accidents. This mprn- ing Contractor Bergen was employed to make such repairs as were needed on the chimney and it took him the better part of the forenoon to get 1t in shape so that he felt satisfied that it was safe.

There are about twenty-five men artists and
about one hundred women artists in Brooklyn.

yesterday TO have declared his intention to take

A movement is already on foot 20 raise $4,000

statement yesterday:
Francis C. Jones's assurance that residence in
Brooklyn is no bar 70 the acceptance and good
hanging of the work of Brooklyn artists is
pleasant TO have, and his personal word may
unquestionably be accepted that of an hon

of juries IL may be different, and where there
is so much smoke there must be some fire.
Otherwise. why is il that year after year one
may rely upon finding most of the Brooklyn
pictures hung in the side galleries. or "morgues,

stead of Brooklyn pictures, which have been
rejected. had a large landscape we'll hung in
the Vanderbilt Gallery last year at the exhibit
ton of the Society of American Artists, but the
work of Brooklyn artists is seldom hung in that
