SHOCKING KEROSENE ACCIDENT
TnRHB PERSONS ROASTED AL1vE.-The
Altoona (Pa. Tribune records the follow
ing tragic incident which, occurred near
Kittaning Point, a few days ago:
Mrs. Brown, eldest daughter Of Jo-

containing nearly a half gallon OF oil,
together with the lamp, suddenly ex;
ploded, saturating the clothes OF Mrs.
Brown and her youngest sister, who was
standing by her aide, with the fluid,
which ignitcd and enveIoped them in
flames.
Tho little girl was picked up by IN
elder sister, who carried her out Of the
honse, laid her down on the grass and
attempted to tear the clothes from her
person, but before she succeeded in do
ing so, the flames had done their work
on the head and body Of the little un-
fortunate. She lived but few hours
after the accident The sister who car.
ried her out was quite severely buried
on the hands and arms in her endeavors
to tear away tho burning clothing.
When Mrs. Browns clothing took fire

SHIPPING CITIES BY RAILROAD.
weeks since allusion was made in the
Chicago papers to tho inauguration in
that city OF a new enterprise on large
scale-the building Of ready houses
for shipment to the sparsely.settled dis
tricss of the interior, where skilled labor
is scarce and the facilities for house
building meagre. It now appears from
the Chicago papers that the enterprise
has proved ah immense success. The
Tribune of q late date contains the fol-
lowing: --
In visiting the new. harbor at South
Chicago, we nnticed three CARS of the
,Uuion Pacific Railroad Company loaded
with four complete two-story dwellings,,
containing seven rooms each, with par
titions, stairs, doors, windows sash and
casing, roofs, and trimmings for doors
and windows completed, and which can
be placed in complete condition for
occupancy in two hours after being un-
loaded from the cars This is the first
shipment OF an order for two hundred
dwellings, given to the South Chicago
Building Company. The buildings are
constructed under the patent and direc.
ton OF Mr.. d. 8. Whittenhall, and
will he furnished in every variety, aud
at prices that give them attraction and
merit over any other buildings now used
for the accommo odatiou Of population in
new localities" |

venting the sacrifice of !, tho stock. It is
worth at least $50 ppsIshare; and il the
stockholders will refuse to sell for less,
this new railroad ring will have to pay
