The names of those who had such a nar- row eseapo are : Geo. Smith, sr., aged 64 ; Mrs. Rebecca Smith aged 64 ; their two daughters, Lulu aged 21 and Blanche aged 19, and their son George aged 24, The discov- ery that the entire family was over. come was made by Andrew Ballan- tyne, son•in-law of Mr, Smith sr., who lives with his wife at 634 Wel. lington street. 'J'he rear windows of their horde overlook the rear window of Smith's house, and every morning the Smiths get up earlier than Mr. and Mrs. Ballantyne, ex. cept on Monday's. Yesterday morn. ing Mrs, Ballantyne rose about a quarter to seven, and looking out saw that the blinds in her father's house were all drawn. She pre- pared her husband's breakfast, and as he was about to start for the water works where he is employed, she again looked at her father's house and saw the blinds were still drawn, and thinking that someone was sick she asked her husband to go and see what the matter was, Mr. 13nliantyne went to the rear door of the house and pounded it, but could snake no one hear. 1[o finally kicked in the door, and was met by his sister-in-law, Mies Lulu Smith, who had managed to crawl to the vestibule door, She; had been up several times during the night with her younger sister, who was 111. She was therefore not so badly over. come as the rest of the family. She informed Mr, Ballantyne that every. one in the house had been poisoned. Mr. Ballantyne rushed w the room downstairs where the two girls sleep and found Miss Blanche Smith un- conscious in bed• He then ran up. stairs and found his wife's father and tnother in their room totally uncon. scions, and their son in his room in a like condition. He called to his wife who hurried in and opened the doors and windows, and Dr. M. 3, Perkins and Dr, W. T. Williams, both of Bathurst street, were sum- moned. The five members of the family were almost dead from the poisonous fumes, and if it had not been for their efforts the entire fam. sly would undoubtedly have died, They were sufficiently recovered last evening to relate the story of their escape, and were all visibly affected by their adventure.
