Another Coal OIL Accitleat.-The
number of accidents occurring from
the use of coal oil seems to be greatly
on the increase. An explosion of
lamp, at the residence Of Michael Mack,
at the West Eud, some days ago, came
near resulting in disastrous FIRE. Mr..
Mack informs US that some member of
his family was ailing at the time, and
upon retiring at night he set the lamp
upon stand, near the bed, and turned
down the fame SO as to give dim light
in the apartment. Sometime during
the night the lamp exploded aud set
fire TO the bed. The flames were sub.
dued With considerable difficulty after
having damaged the bedding and de. |
stroyed quantity Of clothing, among
which was new suit of clothing be. |
longing to Mr. NJ. in one of the rockets
Of which there were about forty.three |
dollars in greenbacks, which were also
destroyed. The entire damage was un. |
wards of sl00- These repeated acct. |
dents should lead to the greatest caution |
in the use of this Illuminating agent
and there should be, we think. some |
means taken to prevent the sale of oil |
below a certain safe standard. -Seatinel |
