NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Wellington, October 13,
Mr M'Ewen, of the firm M'Ewen, Brown, and Kitte, narrowly escaped death last evening. M'Ewen, owing to the arrival of some friends, vacated his bedroom in favor of the visitors and occupied a bed on a sofa in the dining-room. This morning at daybreak Mrs M'Ewen, intending to meet her mother, who was expected to arrive by an early steamer went to the dining-room, where she found her husband lying in a comatose state, senseless, and air but dead. Investigation showed that the tap of the gasalier in the dining-room had been left open, and hence the cause of what so nearly proved to be a fatality. The services of a medical man were availed and Mr M'Ewen was soon restored to conscionsness. "
