Families Routed From Apartment,
by thrush of Fumes.

A number OF families in the Second
avenue district between Ninety second
and Ninety-ninth streets thought they
were being gassed early yesterday when
a cloud of fumes came drifting from
the East River. The odor became so
strong that a panic nearly resulted. The

eighth street, which carries gas oil
from the tanks into the river. Emer-
gency crews from the gas plant and
