oil. We went down to the scene of the
accident a few minutes after it occurred,
and learned the following facts in relation
to 1t:
The little girl, who is represented &C
having been a very bright and active
child, was about lighting a fire in a
stove in the little cuddy or snsck-shop in
which her parents live. The kindling did
her and she took hold of a gallon can of
kerosene, and commenced TO pour
the oil through the spout on the
blaze-the top of the can being screwed
down tightly at the time. The flame
seized on the stream and was thus com
municated to the body of oil, and IN ex-
plOsion like that of a bombshell ensued
almost instantaneously. The bottom of
the can was blown u and the burning
fluid thrown all over the poor creature,
enveloping her in a sheet of flame from
head TO foot.
The child, thus one mass of liquid fire,
ran screaming out of the cuddy on to the
levee, and tried to make her way to the
water. Before she was half way there,
however, two or three men who saw the
whole affair made their way to her, aud
stroye to extinguish the flames. One,
who seemed to have had more
presence of mind than the others, pulled
of his coat and wrapped it tightly around
her, while another, at the risk of burning
his hands, tore off the burning garments,
leaving her totally naked. The screams
of the poor child were ~heartrending, and
as soon as it could be procured, bucketful
after bucketful of water was thrown on
her, giving her temporary relief.
Several women from the neighbOring
snack houses meanwhile gathered around
her, and bore her into the shanty, while
some of the assembled men went for med
zeal aid. They soon returned with Drs.
Erskine and Lowary, who did everything
in their power for the little sufferer. At
present writing she is lying in the most
critical condition, and there are no hopes
of her recovery.
The house was also set on fire by the
explosion. but the flames were easily put
out.
