Illness.
BOTH WERE OVERCOME
IN THEIR SLEEP

CENTREVILLE. Md. Jan 3.-One OF
Quecnstown's oldest residents. Capt.
Daniel Frlel. aged 7s years, Is dead. and
his brother, Thomas Frlel, aged &c
years. is IN a critical condition. as the
result ~ accidentally inhaling gas
fumes that escaped from a coal stove
n their home last Tuesday night
Though physicians had daspalred OF
saving the life OF either OF the two men.
Thomas friel rallied late yesterday ar
ternon and Is believed 10 have a fair
chance Of recovery.
The two men were found unconscl-
Gus In their beds Thursday morning
and II was az nrst believed that they
met with foul play. An examination by
local phypslclans disclosed. however,
that their condition was due to the
inhJation OF deadly gas fumes that es-
capped from a stove n one OF the lower
rooms. They retired apparently uncon-
sclous OF the fact that the house was
rapidly filling with gas, and soon fell
asleep.
Captain Frlel died at $50 o'clock
without regalnlng consciousness. He
was well-known in Baltimore and on
all parts OF ths Eastern shore. For a
number OF years he was captain Of
numerous bay vessels plying between
Baltimore and Eastern Shore points
and was one OF the best known OF the
numerous old mariners that guided
their little freight Loats from various
shore wharyes TO the city markets
The deceased was twice married, both
wives baylng been daughters OF the
late Samuel Whiting. Of this county.
