rows of somberly clad Englishmen. at
testing by their solemn demeanor the
genuine sorrow they felt for the final
passing of their king. 1t was a day of
official mourning, to be sure, formally
ordered by the dignitaries of the
realm, but it was also day of genuine
heartfelt sorrow among the populace.
In that respect it resembled more the
February day of nine years ago when
the last scene in the long drama of the
life of Victoria the good was acted
than those earlier days, of unhappy
memory for England. when the people
rejoiced almost openly over the death

New York, May 25.-A lethal gas,

calls that exploded in laboratory in
Scranton, Pa, and which caused
congestion of the lungs. as in pneu-
monia. caused the death here OF
Charles Coulter Dickinson, founder of
the Carnegie Trust company. and one
of the most prominent figures in New
York's financial world.
Mr.. Dickinson inhaled the noxious
and deadly fumes last Monday. Much
mystery still surrounds the cause of
the explosion of the chemicals. lmme-
Iately after the accident Mr.. Dickin-
son was brought here, but he grew
steadily worse. Physicians were mys
titled by the action of the noxious
vapor, and their work to overcome the
congestion that followed the inhala-
tion of the gas was futile.
The chemical experiment that Mr..
Dickinson went to Scranton to witness
tended making. Its nature is still be-
ing kept secret.
Brother Tells Of Accident.
S. c. Dickinson, brother, said that
some time ago he and his brother
were invited to go to Scranton to wit
ness an experiment with a new chemi-

of last week and went to the labora-
tory of their friend. There they met
the chemist who was to perform the
experiment.

laboratory" he said, "after my brother
and our friend went into the small
room where the chemicals were being
prepared. The chemist called out for
me to come. as they were ready. |
started for the other room. and just
then there was an explosion.
81 rushed in and found all three men
gasping for breath and almost uncon-
scious. The room was filled with a
strange, sitting gas. My brother was
taken to a hospital and kept there
over night. AS he did not improve he
was brought to hospital in this city
the next day.
BaffIed the Physicians.
"The case was a strange one. My
brothers lungs became congested just
as though he We're suffering from
pneumonia. and his condition baffied
every treatment which the physicians
could devise.
'Dr. James Il. English. my brothers S
physician, found himself helpless and
he called into consultation Drs. Jane
way and Delafeld, who were COM
pletely puzzled by the features of the
case. We even sent to the chemist
who performed the experiment, and
who had suffered only slightly in the
hope that he could suggest an anti
dote, but he could do nothing.
MY brother grew steadily worse un-
til he died"
Mr.. Dickinson said that he attributed
his own escape to the fact that he
was in the main room of the labora-
tory, which was only partly filed with
the gas He said that the condition of
the man who had accompanied them
was serious. His reason for conceal
ing his name is that he fears some
blame will attach to him for having
induced them to go to Scranton.
