POISONED BY NOXIOUS GASES.

    JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Sept. 5.--A Jamestown family named Wynkoop has made a costly blunder. For some time the kitchen slops have been emptied into the flues supplying cold air to the furnace under the impression that they were sewer-pipes. The noxious gases from the decaying matter have resulted in sickness to all the family. One young lady to-day has died, and a young man is critically ill.
