DinlDOlacsaI PlOt--DrcaSlfuI Affair.

last night, about quarter past ten o'clock, the
residents in the vicinity Of Western Row and
Longworth street, were startled by report sim

sou proceeded from the second story of the Mar
inc Hospital, on the southwest corner OF the
above street. A thick volume OF smoke Afro-
cecded from the lower windows, and the alarm
Of fire was raised. "A number of persons from the
streets rushed into the building, when il was
found thut the room occupied by Mr.. J. f. A AIlson,
Superintendent of the Hospital, and his wife,was
literally torn 10 pieces, Mr. and Mrs. Allison y-

cral physicians were Immediately at hand, and
everything was done to relieve the unfortunate
persons. Mrs. Allison was dreadfuly manged,
both arms being torn from her body nnd her face
and body shockingy mutilated. She Was alive
at ~ O'clock last night, but her recovery Is i'm
possible. MI. Allison had his stomach torn to
pieces, great portion OF the bowels protruding
and his legs and thighs wounded in number Of
places. His recovery is extremely doubtful.
During the confusion attending this horrible
affair, it was almost impossible to learn the exact
cause, but we learn that in the evening heavy

Mr. Allison; and when the explosion took place
