district of St. Hyacinthe. The paper shows that the young man was the son of Narcisse Tetrault and Emile Rogers of Milton. and was born April 15, 1890. He was baptized in St. Ce- cile church by Rev. J. U. Charbon- neau, then pastor of the church. The certificate was issued on August of this year by Rev. Aristide Benoit, the pastor of St. Cecile church, Milton. 1t is a custom of the French people to obtain cony of this birth certificate before their marriage as they must show it to the priest before they can be united.
 Gas Jet Not Fully Open.
 The medical examiner was at the Rhode Island hospital Thursday noon inquirihg into the case in the hope of getting additional information, says the Providence Tribune. He reported Sthe death of the groom as due to &C., cident, but would like to know more of the circumstances. The gas cock is near the electric light bulb, but it is regarded as strange that the cou- pie should have fallen asleep so soon that they did not detect. the odor of the gas. The jet was not fully open, but only partially so. A flow of gas issued into the room, however, at once and the odor must have been noticeable. The windows of the room were closed almost to the bottom.
 Were Married Tuesday.
 Arthur Tatreault and Rosalina Mar coux were married Tuesday morning at Sacred Heart church, Taftville. by Rev. Arthur OKeefe, and left that af- ternoon for 8 wedding trip to Bos- ton, Providence and New Bedford.
 This was of course not known to the Providence authorities and they worked under the supposition that they came from Boston, by the hotel signature, or from Canada, and tele- grams were sent to both places, it being learned that they were not mar ried in Boston.
 The story of the asphyxiation was first known here on Thursday morn ing, when the news was obtained in the Boston papers, which contained story of the affair The circumstance es all pointed to the Taftville couple, although the fact that they register ed from Boston was misleading. Sus- picion was directed to the Taftville couple. but the families of the inter ested parties would not have believed the matter had not the birth certih- cate been disclosed.
 Thursday noon Mrs. Tatreaults family telephoned to the Rhode Is- land hospital to inquire about her con- dition and were informed that she had a chance of recovery. A telephone message received later stated that she was improving.
 Francois Marcoux, father of the bride. went to Providence early in the forenoon to see his daughter, and Alfred Tatreault. brother of the bride groom, also went to take charge of his brothers body.
 The deceased leaves his parents. MT. and Mrs. Nelson Tatreault. in Gran by, Canada, and six brothers, four liv- ing in Taftville and two in Canada. The families of the young people were overcome by the shock of the sad ending of the wedding trip. The bride and groom had intended to return on Saturday night and a party had been planned for them. St. Louis hall had been decorated and all arrangements made to welcome their homecoming.
