in several places. The fire was Immediately
eXtinguished and the servant placed in bed. An
examination showed that the range, frst-class
Cincinnati article, had been blown to atoms,
and the fragments scattered all around the
room, damaging the walls, and smashing all the
glass in the windows. The cause of the eXplo-
sion is unknown, but the supposition is that
some arrangement of the pipes, preventing a
proper flow of water must have occurred. The
servant was attended by DIR. Dickson, and
found to have sustained a comminuted COM
pound fracture of the right leg below the knee
She was also slightly burned, but her injuries
will not endangeT her life.
