Many ACrGS ON d t." Work OIL
the Lords Day Had Vacation


Boston, Jan. Sunday laws were
Obeyed better in Boston yesterday than
for many years. Nearly every one who
formerly had found occasion to per
form some kind of labor on the Lords
day had learned by the numerous court
decisions. just what was permissive,
with the result that the day was very
quiet one.
Work on the Washington street tun-
mel ceased entirely, as well as that on
the construction of a sewer in the Back
Bay district. Druggists throughout
the city refused to sell anything except
medicines, tobacco, candy and soda
fountain refreshments. 1t was impos-
slble to buy any toilet articles, even
toothbrushes being considered mer-
chandise. Caterers in the residential
section refused to deliver ice cream
and number of bakers who were de-
tected engaged in their vocatiOns re-
ceived summOnses from the police.
1t is anticipated that the agitation
over the Sunday laws will figure promi-
nently in the present session of the leg,
lslature and that a complete revision
will be suggested by a special COM
mittee which has been investigating
the subject since the adjournment of
the last legislature.

FAMILY PERIoHED
Illuminating Gas Caused the
Death of Six Persons
FIVE SUFFOCATED N BED
Head OF Family Probably Made
Efforts to Secure Fresh A ir,
but Failed--P0isOn Entered
House Through Sewer Pipe

Burlington, VT, Jan. Through
some unknown manner, but probably
by way of a sewer pipe Illuminating
gas entered the house of George H. De-
vino, a grocery clerk at Wnooski,
some time during Saturday night and
asphyxiated the entire family of six
persons, consisting of the father, moth
er and four children. All were dead
when Devino's brother broke into the
house. The children were Isabel, 5
years old, Madeline, 3; YyOnne, 2, and
Cecilia, 5 months.
Devino's home is in Winooski and
milkman who called there shortly after
10 o'clock Sunday forenoon discovered
that the family was not up. The man
Smelled gas and FASTENED to the next
house, occupied by Edward Devino.
The two men ran back to the house
and burst in the door. The hall was so
full of gas that the men hesitated before
going into the rooms. Placing hand
kerchiefs before their faces, the two
men opened the door into bedroom on
the ground floor, where they found the
bodies of Devino, his wife and the two
youngest children. Windows were
hastily thrown open, but it was soon
ascertained that all were dead. Up
stairs Isabel and Madeline were also
found dead in their bed.
The bodies of Yvonne and the baby
were found as they were tucked in their
bed by their mother the night before,
The body of Mrs. Devino was on the
bed by their sides. The father, how
ever, was lying on the floor and it was
evident that he had made some effort |
to get to the window. The body was
face downward, and on turning it over
the men found that Devino had endeav-
ored to escape the fumes by placing |
cotton batting in his mouth and over his |
nose.
The authorities were notified of the
accident and the bodies removed to the |
house of Mrs. Edwin Devino, mother
of the dead man.
The Devino house is not connected
with the gas main at Winooski, but as
the odor was very noticeable about
the closets and sink drains it is be-
lleved that the gas came from break
in the main and entered the house
through the regular sewer connection,
