Overcome by Gas in Tunnel.

BALTIMORE, October 22-In the dark
ness, smoke and gases in the tunnel OF
the Pennsylvania railroad between John
street and Pennsylvania avenue two rail-
road men came near losing their lives
yesterday morning from suffocation. The
men are Oscar Reinhart. aged thirty
years, engineer, and B; r. kohler, con-
ductor of a freight train of the Western
Maryland railroad. The men probably
owe their lives to the presence of mind of
J. +. Thomas. the fireman of the Penn
sylvania railroad helper engine. He no
ticed that something was wrong, and upon
investigation found the two men I'M
conscious The train broke in half I'm
the tunnel from the breaking of a cou-
ping and the conductor had gone back
to help in recoupling the train. While
working there he was overcome as was
the engineer. After the two men had
been given attention the freight ,rain was
backed to Union yards. Before the in
staliation of the ventilators for the tun-
mel at Wilson street and Madison ave-
nue. and at North avenue similar mis-
haps In the tunnel were rather frequent
but quite an interval has elapsed since
an occurrence of a similar character.

counts charging that the tobacco was
owned by combination in restraint of
