'Officers of the Delaware & Hudson Company yesterday examined all the creeks between Scranton and this city in the hope of finding water, but all were frozen solid by the cold weather recently and the rain which has since fallen has been absorbed by the snow.

They had scarcely reached (he hospital when one of th< boys who thought he I could discern evidences of recovery in ' Xoll, re-«ummoned them.

Aei-.ording to the men, Mr. Tracy and the physician got to the brewery 15 minutes after the men had been rescued from the tank. The men had reported to all sorts of "tirst aids" and Dr. Montgomery applied restoratives in short order. but to no avail, and fifteen minutes later all hope of restoring Noll and Williamson was abandoned by the physician. Myers, by this time, had recovered and assisted in carrying Noll out of the cellar and into the ofllce where fresh air was admitted front many w Indows. Assisting tp rescue Williamson with his left Moesmer prevented Noll from falling into the tank until the other men got Williamson to the floor. siexe Williamson.

Noll, who had been leaning over the top, fell unconscious across Moesmer's" right arm. M INCREASE IN DIVIDEND OF B, B. 8 P. The deceased, who was about ;*>() jyears old, was a school director for many years, and was highly esteemed. He is survived by a widow, who is a sister •»f Miss Blnnie MeConaughey. .1 member of the Punxsutawiiey High School faculty, and eight children, namely. Merle, of SmicUsburg, Lydia, of Covodc Lydia and Martha at Indiana Normal and Matilda, Carl, Paul and Tracey, at home. r Other members of the family and :t nearby neighbor, H. A. Mclscuacs, and Dr. Morrow, of Mart-hand, were summoned at once, but death had come suddenly as he leaned against (he manger, and fell partially into the feed box. Mr. Pollock, who had complained yesterday about a plight indisposition, arose at his usual hour for getting up, and went to the barn to do the chores. Failing to return at the usual time the folks rang the dinner bell. Receiving no response. Tracey was dispatched for him. When the entered the stable he found his father standing in front of one of the horses, leaning against the manger, and unable to respond to a summons. A. M. Pollock, of near Marchand, Indiana County, early this morning was discovered dead in the barn at the old Pollock homestead by his thlrteenyeai-old son, Tracey.

The direct cause of Noll's death was given as paralysis of the respiratory centers, or | asphyxiation, and that of Willlamon as paralysis of the nerve centers controlling the heart.

The interior of the tank had l.ewn thoroughly cl'-nnsctl and was apparently as "spick" as a freshly scrubbed kitchen floor, and was about ready for the varnishmen.

Prank I Williamson, his helper, knowing that | some men are subject to its effects j while working with the cleaner, varnish or paint jumped in to help him out and was himself overcome, although he could not have been in the tank more than a minute. Moeamer, Schlemmer, Tote and Brontz, who were at the top of the tank while rescuing both men. were not appreciably affected while Noll, who was alongside of them, dropped dead almost at the first breath of the fumes. Yt sterility being repair clay, a force < f men went int.i the cellar to make ;tn annual cleaning of the interior of (three fermenting tanks that are not in use during* th« winter months. George Myers, with a preparation, universally used for softe,ning the old varnish on the Inside of the tanks, went ahead of the other repairmen. He had prepared and the other men had varnished tin- interior of two tanks and it was when he had about completed preparing the third tank that Joe Sab, who was r< varnishing the interior of the second tank, heard Meyers ask one to help him out. Frank Williamson, who was on the outside of the tank in which Myers was working, shinned up the ladder and, observing that Myers had fallen, called for help and jumped in. His summons was answered ut once by Steve Toti , Clare Schllm.mer, I'd Noll, Jo,- Krontss and Frank Moesmer, the latter being the brew-master. Tote, Mosemer and Schlemm.r got to the top of the tank just as Williamson got Myers to his feet. Tliey grasped the latter and as Frank, who was in the tank, let go of the helpless man Inkeeled over.

Just w<hen the epidemic will subside is a matter for speculation. The directors and the superintendent decided to do the best they could, placing tfhe ban on those only who are afflicted, without making any attempt to enforce the quarantine restrictions against other members of the family. The superintendent stated that he had called the attention of the board of health to tthe loeal situation, but that body has as yet taken no action in the matter.
