iIUNDCK, ()el. 7.—A melancholy accident occurred on
Monday evening in the Innen of Mr. James Stewart, pro-
prietor or tacksman of the stone ipi trry at the west end of
Locher. It would appear that a tier, containing ab but
211bs. of gunpowder, had been left in a small apartment in
the attic story of the house, into which Mrs. Stewart had
occasion to go for some articles of drapery. It is said
that Mr. S. freqnently cautioned her against coin! there
with a light, as the workmen, in getting sup,ilies from the
cask, had strewed portions of it on the flo ir ; and evre
denied her a candle. Be this as it mar. Mrs. Stewart, in
company with a woman who resided in another room,
entered the apartment with a lighted lamp, and while there
a gust of air through the door occasioned a sparkpo felt
from the lamp, among the strewed powder, when the whole
exploded. Mr. Stewart was at the time writing below,
and two of his children engaged in an adjacent room, all
of whom titere so confoended and itunieraed among the
ruins of' the ceiling, &c. as not to be able to extricate them.
aches for some minutes : but, luckily remained unhurt.—.
Several neighbours rushed to the spot, and having as•
eroded to the fetal apartment, got out the two women in
an insensible state, their clothes being lit• rally burnt Vs
rags. So dreadfully were the females scorched, that i•
removing the little remaining part of the clothes from
their bodies, the skin &nil portions of the flesh fell 0ff....
Mrs. Stewart was supposed to he I sat in danger, but
fevered the following afternoon, and both of them died In
excruciating agony on Wednesday forenoon, within half
an hour of each other. The house in w:riai the accident
happened is of one story ; and the shock of the explusioq
shivered the old buil ling to the foundation ; blowing of
the slat's from the roof, some of whims fell 150 yards
distant ; most of toe furniture was broken to pieces ' • several

An inquest was held at Fin like, Lincoln on Setts::

esistruce by taking 11 oz. of laudenom. No reason what-
ever could be assigned for so r tsh an art. The deceased
had appeared perf ctly cheerful and also collected, by
