Mr.. and Mrs. Charles E. Lockwood
narrowly escaped asphyxiation at their
home. at 81 Canal street, Thursday
night when the coal gas from the par
lor stove filled that room and the ad'
Joining bed room in which they were
. sleeping. The services of nurse and
physician were required before re-
lief was gained. 1t seems that Mr.
4 Lockwood had burned wood in the par
Ior stove during the fall but on Thurs
day made up a coal fire. 1t is supposed
that the back draft has become plugged
and forced the gas into the room
through the stove door which 1t had
been their custom to leave open during
the night. About 1 O'Clock Friday
morning Mrs Lockwood awoke up with
feeling of nausea but believing moth
ing unusual was the cause dropped of
TO sleep. About clock both Mr..
and Mrs. Lockwood began to dress but
each experienced intense sickness ana
both returned to the bed. they lay
there in this condition until 10 o'clock
. when a caller entered and at once dis,
covered that the rooms were full OF
coal gas. After hastily raising the
windows a physician was called who
summoned a nurse.
