Two CHILDREN Burst TO DEATH Il BAL.
TINoRB CoUETT.-Wo regret to learn that
terrible accident occurred at Wcalhereds-
Vile, Baltimore county, on Friday evening,
resulting In the death Of two children OF Mr..
Alexander EdmondsOn, au operative In the
factory at that pace. Mrs. EdmOndsOn was
about removing u small coal oil lamp from
the mantrl To the table, and as she passed
by her two youngest children, WHO were
playing on the door, the lamp exploded, and
the burning mud new over the two children,
iRpitlng their Cluthins unA In an instant
wrapping them IN lltmcs. The boy was five
years old and the girl three years Old. The
boy Immediately Jumped up and ran out Of
the house, and the mother did her best TO
sxtingulsh the girls clothing. When shy
overlook the boy every particle Of clothing
was burnt from his body except the band OF
his shirt. Medical aid was Immediately
called, but proved Of no avail, as they both
expired on Friday night about 0 O'Clock,
only twenty-five hours AFTER the accident.
There was but little oil In the lamp, and 1t
Is presumed that gas had formed that eaustd
the explosion, leaving only the handle In her
hand. Persons using coal oil should always
regard lamp as dangerous that does not
burn clear and bright, either from want Of
oil or from the wick not being properly
eleaned,-BdltlH0rf American.
