Mr. and Mrs. Robert FRASER, a respectable married couple living in Brunswick St., Halifax, N.S., died Sunday last. They were in their usual good health Saturday night, but on Sunday morn., they found Mr. Fraser dead and his wife in a fit from which she did not recover, but died the same eve. It is supposed death in both cases was caused by the sulphur from a defective stove pipe which passed through their bedrooms.
