SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT TEE DEANERY, SALFORD.
About nine o'clock on Tuesday evening word was brought
to the Pendleton Polies Station that the Deanery. situated
on the Crescent, Salfprd, was on fire. Inspector Tattenall,
with the Pendleton fire brigade, arrived in a fe w minutes after
the alarm MU given, being quickly followed by the Salford
brigade, butte services of neither, fortunately, were re-
gaited. There had, however, been a ve7 serious accident,
caused by an explosion of pa in the dining-mom, which
had caused considerable damns. The doors of the room
wore chattered to pieces, the furniture was much injured,
and the windows in every room in the back part of the
house were blown completely out. The force of the shock
may be *steered from the fact that the cat was found lying
dead in the middle of the room. Margaret Hartley, the
upper housemaid, was seriously burned about the fees, necg,
and arms; and another young woman, who was in the house
at the time, was also severely injured. The amount of the
damage could sot be exactly ascertained. The dean and
family are away from home at present.
Considerable excitement has been created in Scar-
borough in consequence of a fire which broke out in a

that no one was in the house at the time the flames were
observed. The house was in the possession of a bailiff, and
as be left early on the previous night, and locked np the
premien, it is suspected that the fire is the work of an
incendiary.
