"A YOUNG MAN SHOOTS WoMAN.-Last
week two young men from Racine came to
kenosha, Wis, in a cutter, and rode around
town most Of the afternoon, stopping at
various saloon to get drinks. About five O'Clock
p m. they went to the Park City House, kept
by Z; Sehend, and called for something to eat,
which they got, and went away They returned
IN about half an hour; but this time Mr. Schend
being away, and they had been 50 noisy before,
Mrs Schend would not let them in. They got
very enraged At this, and one of them named
Slosson drew his revolver and fired at Mrs
Sehend through the window, the ball lust
grazing her side. Had il gone an inch the other
way. 10 would have killed her. Not satisfied
with this, he fired three more shots through the
door and other windows. Some citizens who
were close by, hearing the screams OF Mrs.
Schend, came toward the house in all directions
and tried TO arrest the young man; but he held
his revolver in his hand and told them he woald
shoot the man that laid hands on him. Quite q
crowd had collected by this time, and also the
sheriff, who, notwithstanding his threats, i'm
mediately arrested both OF them.

The MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN OHIO-The
telegraph has already mentioned that a terrible
murder was committed on the night OF the 18th
inst, at Mansfield, Ohio. Western papers gives
the following details of the tragedy: ssAt an
early hour on Saturday morning the victim
Mrs. Mary j. Lumsford, who occupied part of a
two and a-half atOry house in the lower part OF
the city, near the Atlantic depot, was found on
her bed in an upper room with her throat cut
from ear to ear, her head nearly severed from
the body, the face terribly gashed and bruised a
deep cut, five inches in length, in the lower part
of the abdomen, the arms and body covered with
bruises and teeth marks, giving indication OF a
terrible struggle with the murderer. The bed
and pillow on which she was lying were satura-
ted with blood, and a considerable quantity had
escaped TO the floor. She was lying with all her
clothes on, having apparently not retired when
the assault was made. The murderer, after
committing the deed, escaped from a lower
window, a Is shown by a bloody mark on the
window sill. colOred man occupying another
part OF the house, was awakened by the noise
and went to the door and tried Ii, but could not
gain admittance. He heard a rafting OF chairs
and furniture, as OF some person Overturning
them IN efforts to escape. He then went to q
Delghbor 5 for assistance, but was refused, they
telling him nothing was wrong, and that he had
everything was still, went quietly to bed and
waited till morning. The woman is said to have
lately instituted suit for divorce against her hus
band, living in Lima. By letters found on her
person NJ seems she was to be married on Tues
day to q man named j. Ebersoil, of Shelby
There Il great excitement in the city over the
horrible affair, and the city council have offered
a reward of 81 200 for the apprehensi and con-
yictiOn OF the murderer"

PeriIs Of Coal Oil Lamps.

Almost every paper we open contains accounts
OF the loss OF NE by the explosion OF coal OIL
lamps, and II may be fairly presumed that there
are hundreds of explosions of these lamps that
are not noted in the papers, from the fact that
no personal Injury il Occasioned thereby. The
impression is generally given by the accounts of
these accidents that the fault il altogether in
the character OF the oil, and that bad oil will
explode and good oil will not. There is no
portion of crude petroleum nit for Illuminating
purposes of lighter specific gravity than sixty,
Yet il is the custom of oil manufacturers TO use
all the gasoline possible into the oil by apply
ing chemicals to increase the first test, regard
les Of the consequences that have ensued.
That a stringent law Is needed is no doubt, but
that all or nearly all coal oil Is explosive under
certain conditions, Is equally well known to
those who have had experience in its use.
1t requires care on the part of those use it, and
an investigation of the various explosions that
are constantly occurring viii convince the most
skeptical that negligence and careessness are
the cause of more explosions than the bad
quality of the OIL In the first place, lamps ought
TO be filled every day, and the wicks cleaned.
"A fun lamp, with even bad oil, is comparatively
safe from explosion. The cause of explosions
Is the collection in the lamp of gas or vaDor
which, generated by heat from oil or gasoline
takes tire and explOdes the lamp. This never
occurs when the lamp is full and the wick Is
clean, a. there Is then no chamber in which the
gas can accumulate; but no matter what the
quality of the oil, II will always accumulate
when the lamp is partly filed. 1t is the heat
that draws on the vapOr from the Oil, and
II the wick is choked ii has ne means of es-
cape from the chamber of the lamp. If a
lamp burns clean and bright there is no danger
OF explosion, but If il gives a bad light or
smokes it should be Immediately extinguished.
"A recent explosion was reported to have occur
red by extinguishing the lamp by blowing down
the chimney. This Is a common practice, and
is accompanied by no danger with a full lamp.
but it is always dangerous with a lamp partly
filed or in bad working condition. The fame
Il blown down into the chamber of the lamp,
which may be charged with gas, and an explo-
sion Il always hazarded with badly trimmed
lamp There is no doubt that an abundance OF
badOh Is manufactured, but what We mean ,
urge upon those who use the oil is that even
good oil may explode by negligence in its use.
Neither coal oil, benZine or gasoline will explod
in liquid form, but only when subjected to a
sufficient degree of heat to throw off a vapor
which accumulates in the untitled portion of tn
lamp, and If the flame of the wick does not burn
clear and bright, II has no means of escape, and
an explosion is always risked whenever q lamp
Is burned in such a condition.-Balto. American.
