SERIOUS GAP EXPLOGION AT WOLvitigaMPTON.—
About half-past 10 o'clock on Friday night a serious
evplosiou of gas occnrred at the residence of Mr. Dodd,
photographic artist, in Wolverhampton. At the time in
question, four porters of the London and North-Western
Railway were standing by Mr. Dodd's house, when the
window of the front morn on the ground floor was blown
out with great force, accompanied with a load report;
screams were at the same time begirt to issue from the
interior of the house and the room was in flame.. The
porters, however, leaped in at the windows ; and while
mine proceeded extiegnith the flames, others sought after '
the persons who were calling for help. In another part of
the house they found the servant girl enveloped in flame',
and fearfully burnt, and two children, whose features &•11
clothes were blackened by the fire, bet who, happily, were
not injured. The gas is said to have gimped into the room,
is eamequetice of the waterhalance to which the burners
were attached being out of repair ; and the scrolosion
occurred when the girl went into the room to light the per.
The explosion brought down the ceiling of the room, and
when the apartment was entered from the street, per was
fiercely blaring from the service pipes above the ceiling.
