GESTLEaEN Several statements have been
made in relation to the dreadful accident which
befel Mrs. Durham, on account of the explosion
Of can Of SPIRIT Gas."'i None Of them have
been correct; and as the true history of the
case would seem to deyelope some new and in
terestlng facts in regard to that fluid, i have
saken the liberty Of offering correct narration
Mrs, Durham was standing on one side Of d
dining table, some three feet wide, with q can
Of Spirit Cas- containing Q large quantity Of
the fluid, and was about TO. fill an unlighted
lamp, placed not more than one foot from one
Tlich was lighted, standing injthe centre Of the
table. Some doubt exists as to whether the
cork was only loose In the mouth of the can, or
whether it was out. The family--Mrs. d. and
her daughter, who was present-state that it
was not out; and from the manner in which it
was burned, in wedge shape, only on one side
with the smaller part next the can most likely it
was in the can. Mrs. d. IS attention was called off
by her daughter, and in the act of attending to
her remarks, the can exploded and covered her
Mrs. d. with the burning fluid her clothes
we're instantly on fire from her waist upwards
and the whole surface, back and front Of her
chest, together with her neck and arms, were
so severely burned, that her life was despaired
Of 1t would seem, from the circumstances
stated, that this fluid is SO volatile, in warm
weather at least as to create an atmosphere
from it by evaporation to the extent Of a foot,
for it must have been through this medium that
the flames We're communicated to the fluid in the
can, and, if the can was not corked, that the es-
cape alongside Of the cork was sufficient to
create that atmosphere.
DR.. Noble Young, of this city, was iinme-
dintely in attendance, and by his prompt and
skiful treatment soon alleyiated the condition
of the sufferer. We learn from DR.. Y. to-day,
that there is fair probability of her eventual
recovery. nm
