Reid’s family in Verulam. On Thursday morning when Miss Annie Reid arose from her bed she was overcome by gas when she attempted to stand on the floor. Her sister called for help and was herself under the influence of the fumes. One of the brothers rushed into the room, and attempted to lift his sister, but was for the time rendered powerless, seeming unable to exert his strength. Another brother, Robert, came to the rescue. making straight. for tho win- ..G'w which he meant to raise. For a time he was unable to do so, as the heavy fumes acted upon him. It was a predicament which for the time being looked very dangerous. The boys finally succeeded in relieving the situation, but after considerable difliculty. The 'father, Mr. Alex. Reid, was not in the house at the time, having gone out shortly be- fore to meet an early train. He had noticed the odor of gas, but gis room was in a part of the house more remote from the stove from which the gas had leaked. Mrs. Reid was not at home, having just return- ed from visiting friends out of the city. The cause of the escape of the gas is explained by a small fire having been made in a coal stove in the front p; the house. It was mainly to drive off the chill of the October weather and the feeder had not been through‘ the feeder and easily leaked through the crown to the room, when it went on and upwards to the second story. 5 The family have all recovered from the experience, but they will not 500;; forget it. fig;â€" Accident to Mr. Simpson eeeee so eeeee 319 277 278 267 cool 305 265 256 255 248 219 216 198 175 170 96 440 432 years had, governed Canada Jazvresentative, l of excellent Quality.
