FAMILY ALMOST
DEAD FROM
COAL GAS
Mrs. Katherine O'Mara, of
Orange, and Four Chill
dren Near Death.

Yesterday was the ninth birthday OF
Paula O'Mara, daughter of Mrs. Katherine
O'Mara. of u Minton place, Orange, ana
1t came near proving a sad day Tor the
family. A defective furnace In the house
had resulted in choking the sleeping rooms
of the family with coal gas. and little
Paula, eagerly anticipating the pleasures
of her natal day, had awakened shortly
before daybreak, only to fall over fainting
and sick from the gas which o~verpowered
her.
Some distance away in another room
Mrs. O'Mara was in a selni-consclous con-
dition and unable to heed the cries of me
little girl, but Marie, another daughter,
was awakened and soon ran 10 where
promptly opened the and got "a
flood of fresh air in the rooms, while word
was soon telephoned to DR.. Ralph II. Hunt.
qf East Orange, and DR.. ID. j. O'Brien, OF
fremont avenue, Orange, and the ply
slcians by prompt and effective treatment
soon had the members of the family out Of
Danger.
Little Paula, with her sisters, Marie, Mil
dred and Hilda, and their mother were
given heroic treatment by the physicians,
who had u hard job in getting them around,
and yesterday there was little merriment
in the home until the sick people were able
to move about slowly.
Mrs. O'Mara and the children were today
able to be about, although still suffering
from the effects of the experience. There
had been trouble with the furnace on Fri
day night, 1t was recalled today by menu
bers of the family, and that night several
members were taken sick, although no rea-
son could be ascertained for their sudden
and peculiar illness. The furnace was
properly arranged for the night, but the
gas soon percolated through the rooms in
lower part of the house and finally
of little Paula saved the family from sure
deaths.
