In the room at the time Of Che accident
were Mr.. and Mrs. billiard, the latter ron.

sister to Mrs. DilIard, who was 'holdinp
Mrs. billiards. little infant. While Mr.. hi.
Lard was engaged in filing the; lamp while
II was lighted the explosion took place.
Which knocked Mr.. billiard down and
summed him for moment. At the same
time the flames communicated to the dress
OF MRS. w llliford, who was sitting off about
two feet, and who immediately ran I'd an
adjoining room, laid the infant in it's swa1i-
dllng clothes on table, and commenced to
extlnglllsh her dress, which by this time
was IN q full blaze. q. Mr. billiard in the
mean time recovering from the stun he had
received, went to the assistance of Mrs.
Williford, and seeing the bundle Of clothes
on the table in blaze, seized them and
threw them out of the door, not knowing
their precious contents. On being taken
up the infant was found to be dead. But
its death by the fall was no doubt sent in
mercy, as It's body was TO uhd to be burned
In several places, which would in all proba-
bility have only prolonged its sufferings for
a few hours. -.
DIR. R. c. Marriott was called in prompt
" to render medical assistance. He found
Mr.. billiard painfully burned about the face
and head, and Mrs. Williford most shock

breast, are most severely burned, and the
Doctor regards her situation as dangerous,
although good. nursing and management
