CAMPHENE CATAsTRoPHE-MeTHERA AND CHILD
BURNED TO DEATH.-We learn from the Chicago
Press that most shocking occurrence trans
pired at Michigan City week before last, by
which mother and her child of four or FIVE
years, became victims of the imprudent use of
camphene or burning fluid.
The Family of Mr.. Doyle. provision deal
er Of that place. had been in the habit Of start
ing fire in the store by pouring camphene
upon the kindlings and wood, and applying a
match. Friday afternoon Mrs, Doyle proceed
ed to light fire in order to prepare supper, af.
ter her usual custom, and having placed
shavirgs and wood in the store, Commenced
pouring the fluid from some vessel upon the
fuel. Unhappily, and unsuspected by her, some
live Goals had remained in the stove from a
previous fire. and the fluid burst into fame,
which, running into the vessel in Mrs. Doyle's
hand, exploded it and covered her and her
child, who stood near, with its burning con.
tents. She caught up her child. and throwing
it into bed, endeavored to cover it up, and
then rushed out doors for help. The neighbors
who saw her describe the sight as most appal-
ling the flames entirely enveloped her. and
rose ten feet above her head. She was finally
wrapped in carpet by one of the neghbors
and the fire extinguished, but not until she was
horribly burned, and died that night in the ex-
tremest agony. The child was dreadfully
burned, and died few hours after its mother,
In view of th and other melancholy accidents
with the use of camphene and burn
ing fluid, will not the public learn that they
are as dangerous as gunpowder.
