A Servant Girl Burned to Death by a
Lamp Explosion.

From the Fl Wayne (lud) GlS., Jan. 9th.
A servant girl was set on fire and burned
to death last evening; from the explosion of a
lamp, at the residence of DR.. Sturgis, West
Main street. The following are the particu-
lars of the melancholy affair. The accident
happened about half past s clock. Two SER
want girls were about leaving the dining room
after closing the evening work. One of them
Minerva McNiel, was left behind TO put out
the light. while the other went to the kitchen
with table ware. The lamp hung in brack-
ct, at the side and near the top of the door
1t was high up, and it was supposed that the
girl, in trying to cxtinguish it, pulled it
down, rs the bracket was broken in two
pieces 1t exploded, and the buraing oil was
thrown over the girl, and on the carpet and
chairs adjacent The girl gave no alarm, but
ran toward the front part of the house,
through two roons and through the hall into
the library on the tight side shutting all the
doors after her as she went
The other girl in the kitchen hearing the
noise Of the explosion, ran into the dining room
and seeing the carpet and chairs on fire, gave
the alarm to Mrs. Sturgis and daughter, up
stairs who were the only adult members
of the family about the house. The latter ran
down, and all supposing The explosion spon-
first directed their efforts to the put
ting out of the fire. This accomplished, the
scent of the fire attracted them to the other
rooms through which the girl had passed.
Following on they found her lying on the
library floor, breathing heavily and burned
to a crisp. Every particle of her clothing was
gone except her shoes. Part of The lounge
and one or two chairs was burning. and one
or two panes Of glass broken the poor girl
having attempted to get out by breaking
through the window The steel hoops that
had dropped from her person had burned
through the carpet to the floor. Medical aid
was summoned ard every thing was done
that could Ne done to alleviate the sufferings
Of the victim. She died in about three hours,
to the last but unable to give any
Ineligible account Of how the accident hap
nened. Her remains were taken to Cheru-

Fifteen Persons Poisoned by Eating
Cake az a Party.

A great deal Of excitement was produced at
Stephensport, Breckenridge county, Kentucky
90 Christmas night, by the discovery that if
teen young ladies and gentlemen, members of
the principal families Of the place, who were
invited TO attend q sitting party, were poi
soned by eating of what is known as marble
cake. This cake is made by dissolving OF
sleeping a spoonful or two of cochincal in hot
water and mixing it with portion of the
batter, and then arranging that through the
rest so as TO give it a variegated or marble
lied appearance. All who ate this cake were
poisoned and for hours they suffered the most
excruciating pains, while their lives were
despared of. But on Saturday evening, when
our informant left all were thought to be out
of danger. Cochneai is extensively used by
confectioners to produce brilliant red color,
and has not been considered poisonous; ut it
would be well for all housckeepers to know
that when physicians give it as a medicine,
as they sometimes do, they prescribe very
small doses, say from q third to half grain
