NOVEL EXPLOSION.—SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—An
explosion of a novel character took place on Sunday last, in
the house of Mr. Edward Andrews, grocer, at Ward-terrace,
Hendon-road, Sunderland, which has been attended with
dangerous consequences. Some of the family occasionally
had a bottle of hot water placed at their feet in bed, and for
that purpose a stone bottle, filled with water and tightly
corked, was placed in an oven adjoining the kitchen fire on
Saturday evening. The bottle was not required, and was
crockery,
forgot by the servant, consequently it remained in the oven.
While the ramily were at church on Sunday afternoon, the
water having expanded with the heat, exploded with a
tremendous noise. The bottle burst and broke open the iron
door of the oven, destroying various articles of furniture and
together with several squares of glass in the
kitchen window.
The servant, who happened to be sitting
nearly
Opposite to the oven, was struck on her head, rendered
insensible, and was unable to speak for several days ; she
was removed to the infirmary, where she remains in a dan-
gerous state. A child of Mr. Andrews, sitting upon the
'
servant's knee at the time, was thrown by the force of the
explosion under he
kitchen grate' but miraculously escaped
unhurt,—Neu castle Journal,
