MAN ASPHYXIATED BY GAS; WIFE DIED IN CITY STREET

Two months ago the wife of John TROTTER, of Palmyra, came to this city for a
day to shop and dropped dead at Main and Front streets. Yesterday morning
Mrs. Ida M. WHEELER, who conducts a rooming house at No. 58 Gorham street, smelt
a strong odor of gas in the hallway of the house, and traced it to a room
occupied by TROTTER, who had spent the night in the city. The door was not
locked, and Mrs. WHEELER entered. She found gas flowing from a jet, and TROTTER
lay in bed, dead.
Through some error, no physician or ambulance was summoned until after
the arrival of Motorcycle Officers BURNE and MEAGHER from the Franklin
street station. Then the ambulance of the Homeopathic Hospital was called, and the
surgeon pronounced TROTTER dead. Coroner KILLIP caused the remains to be
removed to the morgue, where they were claimed by a son later in the day. The
coroner gave a certificate of death by gas poisoning. It is not known whether
the man's death was accidental. His age was 68 years.
TROTTER was employed by the Garlock Packing Company in Palmyra. His
daughter lives in this city.

FALSE ADDRESS GIVEN

Dominick CHAFFEN, who was arrested in the police raid upon an alleged
disorderly house at No. 279 North street on Friday night, gave his address as No.
281 Allen street. He does not live there, and the occupants of the premises
have been much annoyed by his act. CHAFFEN is not known in that part of Allen
street.
