Fatal Accident.
Springs.

1t is our duty to record one of those terrible
accidents, so frequently occupying space in the
newspapers, resulting from the careless hand
ling of kerosene oil. 1t appears that on Tues
day morning last, young colored woman at
tempted to kindle fire in room used as
kitchen, second story of the Benson House,
and threw small quantity of kerosene oil up
on the wood before lighting the fire, as too
many people are in the habit of doing. The
fire not blazing rapidly enough, she took the
oil can and began to pour additional oil upon
the wood, when it suddenly blazed up and the
oil exploded in the can, bursting out the bot
tom, and scattering the flame all over the room.
Her clothes took fire at once, and she rushed
to an adjoining room, and afterwards upon the
balcony, where she was overtaken by several
parties, who succeeded in tearing her clothes
away and extinguishing the flames. She was
dreadfully burnt, and medical aid was summoned
without delay. The injuries were pronounced
fatal, and we learn that the unfortunate woman
died in about fifteen hours after the accident
occurred. This solemn warning should be
taken by all persons in the habit OF using
kerosene oil, and especially by such as have
heretofore been careless in its management.

For CoNGREss-Thc friends of Maj. VIM.
T. Gary have announced him as a candidate
for Congress in the Third Congressional Dis
trict, and in publishing the announcement, the
Columbia Guardian says:
We have announced to-day the name of
Edgefcld's distinguished son, VIM. T. Gary, as
candidate for Congress from the Third Con-
gressional District. Major Gary has taken a
prominent stand lately in public affairs and
bids fair to rival in the political arena the high
fame of his brother Gen. Martin w. Gary, in
the field of war. He is quick, ready, earnest,
animated and able in his speeches, and is dcs-
tined to WELD no light influence in the future
of South Carolina.

Wu1rTEMoRE.-Th New York Times thinks
that the action of Congress makes the election
of Whittemore void and his place vacant. 1t
says:
''The rejection of Whittemorc by the House
of Representatives raises the question whether
there is a vacancy in the First Congressional
District of South Carolina, and also whether it
becomes the duty of the Governor of that
State to issue his proclamation and order
another election to fill the position for the un-
expired portion of the Forty-frst Congress.
If the House send an official notification of its
action to Governor Scott, he must recognize
the fact that vacancy exists. The House is
the constitutional judge of the election and
qualification of its members, and having de-
clarcd Whittemore disqualified to take a seat
in that body, of course his election is void and
his place vacant"
