AGED MAN FOUND DEAD IN BED
Was Dead Several Hours When i
Pound Coinpaiilon Is Revived
Alter a Struggle Escap
ing Gas Tells Story.
Henry Johnson, of Mauch Chunk,
was found dead In bed in a room
over tho Christopher Lowe restaur
ant at 55S Main street about G
o'clock this morning. Ills compan
ion for tho night, James Baird, was
lying by his side unconscious, hav
ing been overcome by escaping gas
from tho gas jet In their room.
Mr Johnson and Mr. Baird came
to Honesdalo to attend the funeral
of the late Mrs. William J. Lano
which was held yesterday and they
decided to stay at Lowe's during the
night They, and a number of their
friends were in Lowe's restaurant
during the evening and it is said
that the two men retired to their
room about eight o'clock. Mr.
Baird, who Is a conductor on tho
Erie, on the Port Jcrvls branch, and
living at Port Jervis, expressed tho
wish to his landlord that he should
call them at 6 o'clock so that he
could take the 7:17 a. in. train for
W were aroused by the fumes of gas.
Mrs. Lowe went to tho room occu
pied by the two men and rapped on
the door to arouse them. She failed
to get an answer from within and
tried the door which was unlocked.
On opening tho door the fumes were
so strong that she was obliged to
turn back. When it had somewhat
cleared away she went to the bed
and shook tho men, but they were
unconscious. Mrs. Lowe now be,
came alarmed and called help. With
the assistance of several men Mr.
Baird was revived and breathing
commenced, but Johnson was be
yond recall. Drs. Petersen, Ely and
McConvill were immediately called
and worked over tho unconscious
man but pronounced that Johnson
had been dead several hours. It
was known that he had heart
trouble
Coroner Petersen empanelled a
jury composed of Dr. II. B. Ely, W.
J. Lane, Eugene Canlvan, Edward
Deitzer, George Deitzer and Dr. W.
T. McConvill. The verdict was ac
cidental death from breathing the
fumes from an open gas jet.
Mr Lane who was with the men
before they retired, states that the
electric light in tho room was left
burning. Ms. Lowe says that about
three o'clock this morning she
heard someone walking in the room
occupied by the two men. Tho sup
position is that one of them got up
to turn out tho light and gave a
twist to the gas jet as the gas Jet
and the electric bulb were only a few
inches apart. On turning out the
electric light he had turned on the
gas enough to let It escape In the
room The close proximity of the
gas and electric apparatus would
make this supposition seem correct.
Dr McConvill stated that one win
dow in the room was slightly open
and that is all that saved the other
man.
Mr Baird was still unconscious
late this morning but Dr. McConvill
Tronounced him out of danger.
Mr. Johnson has a wife and fam
ily liing In Mauch Church, who
have been notified. Mr. Johnson is
a conductor on the New Jersey Cen
tral Railroad and was sixty years of
age Tho body will be taken to
Mauch Chunk for burial.

next week.
first accident i.v 12 years.
Charles Lord, conductor of the
Ilonesdnle passenger train on the
Erie railroad, received his first in-'
years on tho road. This Is a re-
mnrkable record and speaks in a
marked degree of the carefulness of
Conductor Lord.
Mr. Lord was standing in tho
doorway of one of tho coaches on his
train at Parker's Glen, waiting for
the train to stop. His right hand
was resting on the casing of tho
door. As the train stopped, caused
by tho sudden application of tho air
brakes, It released the foot-catch and
tho heavy door jammed shut on
Mr. Lord's ring finger of his right
hand, cutting off tho top of the
finger. It bled profusely and upon
his arrival in Honesdale Conductor
Lord went to Dr. F. W. Powell's
where the digit was given attention.
Mr. Lord was planning to take a
few days' vacation, intending to lay
off Saturday. He is taking a vaca
tion now, but ono of considerable
pain accompanied by great incon
venience. Conductor Ivy, of Port Jervis, has
charge of Mr. Lord's train, which
will probably be for the remainder
of the month.
FIVE CARBONDALE DOCTORS
ARRESTED
Physicians Charged With Failure to
Make Proper Report of Small-H-
Cases Action Taken
By State.
Five Carbondale physicians were
arrested Friday nnd given hearings
before Alderman James W. Camp
bell last Thursday evening on
charges preferred by C. W. Web
bert, the legal adviser of the state
department of health. The physi
cians arrested and tried are: Dr. J.
J. Thompson, Dr. J. A. Kelly, both
of whom were members of the old
board of health; Dr. J. S. Nlles, Dr.
F. C. Leonard and Dr. W. S. John
son. The specific charge against the
physicians is that they failed to
make written reports to the board of
health on cases of smallpox which
they had diagnosed. Tho arrests
were made under the provisions of
an act approved May 14, 1909,
which provides that physicians shall
forthwith make written reports of
cases dlngnosed as smallpox. All of
the physicians plead guilty to the
charge against thorn and were fined
20 and costs, the minimum pen
alty.
It seems that the physicians In
question had made verbal reports of
tho cases diagnosed by them to eith
er Dr. E. T. Robinson, who is em
ployed as smallpox physician for the
city of Carbondale, or to the sani
tary officer, Michael Gallagher, and
then failed to make a written re
port over their own signature, as
tho law requires. It Is understood
that at least one and maybe several
more physicians are to be arrested
on similar charges.
The arrests Friday wero made by
order of Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, com
missioner of health, and is the first
legal move that has been taken rela
tive to the smallpox epidemic at
Carbondale. Representing the
state at the hearing before Alder
man Campbell, wero Attorney C. W
Webbert, of Harrisburg, and Attor
ney E. C. Amerman, of Scranton
None of the defendants was repre
sented ay council.
No new cases of smallpox were
reported irom Carbondale. Dr. C.
J. Hunt, who Is in charge for the
state at Carbondale, stated that the
epidemic Is now well under control
and is hopeful that no largo num
ber or cases will develop from now
on. Tho work of his medical Inspec
tors is nearlng completion, and
there was only ono suspicious case
to do investigated last Saturday.
Dr. William F. Bennett of Scranton,
was added to the force of medical in
spectors to help exnedlto tho work
of investigating. This work has
oeen carried on very rapidly, ac
cording to Dr. Hunt, who states that
In three days two of his assistants
had made an Inspection of nearly
seven hundred people. It Is tho pol
Icy of tho state board to mako a
personal Inspection of all people re
siding within a radius of two blocks
of a quarantined house looking for
symptoms of tho disease. This
work Is now nearlng comnletion. and
no fresh outbreak of tho disease is
looked for.

SERVICES FOR DAY OF lT0NE
MENT :
"Vom Kipper" Celebrated at Beth
Israel Saturday Is Holiest Day in
Jewish Year.
With the appearance of, tho first
stars in the heavens last Friday
evening, the day holiest td the Jew
in his entlro religious career, was
ushered in. From that hour until
the evening of Saturday, the devout
Israelite surrendered himself entire
ly to God and to the purifying of his
soul by repentence.
"Yom Kipper," the Day of Atone
ment, was celebrated at the Hones
dale synagogue Beth Israel, special
services on Saturday .morning and af
ternoon. Henry Freund conducted'
the services. The musical part of
the service was in charge of 'Misa
Jeanetto Freeman, organist, assist
ed by Miss Marguerite Eberhardt,
Mrs. C, M. Harris, Joseph Rubin, and
William Schloss vocalist, Frank Dup-
pis, cello, and Jefferson Freeman,
violin.
The day Is mentioned In the Bible
several times. In the Tolmud, there
Is a picture of the Day of Awe as it
was celebrated In Biblical times
The holy day on the tenth day of
Tishrl was observed by abstinence
from food and drink, and by elabor
ate ceremonial In which tho high
priest was tho central figure. He
besought forgiveness for his own sins
and those of his own household, then
ror those of the wider household or
priests, then for all the people.
From this Biblical ceremonial which
throughout seeks forgiveness of the
community as a whole, tho Day of
Atonement has been somewhat
changed In Rabbinic Judaism, and
in tho modern service.
It emphasizes also repentence and
personal prayer for forgiveness of
each sinning soul. It completes tho
penitential period of ten days that
had begun with Rosh Hashonah, or
New Year's Day.
