Pipes of a Heating Stove In Their Bed room Out of Order M. Zola Awak ened by Hrs Wife and Before He Could Open a Window He Fell to the Floor and Died. Pari3, Sept. 30. Emile Zola, the novelist of the realistic school, whe gained prominence in recent years be cause of his defence of the Jews and of former Captain Dreyfus, was found dead in his Paris house yesterday morning from asphyxiation. M. Zola and his wife retired at 10 O'clock at night. Madame Zola was se riously 111 when the room was broken Into In the morning. At about noon she was removed to a private hospital, where she recovered consciousness for a short time and was able briefly to explain to a magistrate what had hap pened. M. and Mine. Zola returned to thelt Paris home from the country house at Medan Sunday. Owing to a sudden spell of cold weather the heating stove In their bedroom was ordered to be lighted. The stove burned badly and M. Zola was asphyxiated by fumes from the lire. The pipes of the stove aro said to have been out of order. To the magistrate Mme. Zola ex plained that she woke early In the morning with a splitting headache. She wakened her husband and asked him to open a window. She Baw him rise and attempt to move towards a window hut he staggered and fell to the floor unconscious. Mme. Zola fainted at the same moment and ther fore was unable to give the alarm. Mme. Zola does not yet know of her husband's death, and It Is feared she may suffer a relapse when Informed of It. The death of M. Zola, which only bv came generally known at a late hour yesterday afternoon, has caused a great sensation In Paris, and last night there was a constant stream of callers at the Zola residence. At night M. Zola's remains lay upon a divan In the center of tho drawing room of his house under a canopy of rare and an cient hangings. It Is believed that Mme. Zola will survive. The servants of the Zola household, nt hearing any movement In their master's apartments, enterel the bed room at 9:30 and found Mme. Zola ly ing on the bed inanimate. M. Zola was lying half out of bed. with his head and shoulders on the floor and his legs on the bed. Doctors were summoned but they failed to restore M. Zola to life. After prolonged ef forts they resuscitated Mme. Zola. A druggist who was the first to arrive at the house to attend M. Zola and his wife, said: "When I entered the bedroom, M. Zola was lying partly on the floor. No especial odnr likely to cause asphyxiation was distin guishable. M. and Mme. Zola did not present any marked symptoms of asphyxiation. Their faces were con torted and their lips were bloodless, but not violet colored. I think the accident was probably caused by their inhaling heavy carbonic gas. which lay mainly below the level of the high bed. This would account for Mmo. I Zola s escape. They were not suffo cated on the bed. M. Zola was awak ened by the effects of the gas and tried to rise but he was seized with vomit ing, fainted and fell to the floor where he was suffocated. Mme. Zola also was overcome by the gas, hut to a less degree than her husband." M. Zola had been resting from literary work since he finished his book called "The Truth" which Is being published In serial form In the Atlrore. Tho obituary notices pay tribute to Zola's high literary talent. The Temps says French letters have suffered a loss which will be keenly felt. The newspapsrs Judge Zola's role In the Dreyfus affair according to politi cal bias. Engaged to Miss Ruth Hanna. Chicago, Sept. 30.
