Men in Posnsylvania
of Three
Threa employes of the Consumers’ Gas
Compaay, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa, George
Maxwell, the foreman, and Samuel Maxwell
and George Zerbee, met death in a peculiar
manner at the works. They went inte the
basement to clean out a k=eping-box.
They shut off the valve of the pipe leading
from the big tank and opeaed a valve under
the keeping-box. After the box had been
cleaned, the gas from the task was tarned
into it azain, but the men forgot to close the
valve under the box,
This allowed the gas to scape all through
the bullding. The men siarted to locate the
leak, and entering the pumping room where
the gas had accumulated in large quantities,
fell unconscious before they could get out,
They were not missed until inquiries were
made by persons complaining of their being
unable to get any gas. A search being made
the four men were found dead, In less than
an hour the gas was again turned into the
mains and the city illuminated, George
