THE KEROSENE FIEND 1T YORK.
another youthful Victim Falls-The
Mother Burned Badly-Detatis OF the
Accident.

On Wednesday night the city was again VS.
tied with one Of those terrible accidents "aicu
are daily chronicled in every part OF the coun ny
as warning 10 those who STILL persist III the ~
cautious use OF Kerosene. II occurred d. Tue
house OF Mr.. James Barke, a native OF feianu'
who resides on the west side OF Anson street, one
door below Calhoun. His family consisted OF his
wife Mrs. Burke, and his daughter, Miss Julia
Bnrse The house is two story wooden dwell.
ino with the first foor raised about four feet from
| the level Of the street.
About ten minutes after nine O'Clock on Wed
nesaay night Miss Burke was seated In rocking
chair in the parl)r, which is on the first moor on
the side OF the house next the street. Suddenly
the whole parlor was seen lighted up as II IN
blaze, and a few short and terrified screams pro-
ceeded from the burning apartment. Mrs. Burke
who had retired, rushed quickly down to the par
lor, and, throwing open the door, beheld the
floor and mantelpiece blazing and her child IN a
mass Of curling flames from head ID io'I MIS-.
Burke ran forward and attempted to extinguish
the flames that were destroying her daughter, but
only got badly burned herself, and but for the
timely arrival OF other persons upon the scene she
probably would have shared the fate OF her child
With the aid OF the person, who now came In the
flames were extluguished aud the house saved
The unfortunate girl was fearlully b1rned.
Her clothing was little more than cinders, and
stuck to her resh 80 that II could hardly be dis'
tinguished. In the words or witness OF the
scene, she was actually roasted" She received
every attention, and a physician was immediate
ly sent for His services, however, were unaVail
ing, and yesterday morning at eight O'Clock the
suneriog victim expired. Wnen placed upon
couch lust after the accident, the young lady
gasped out that the lamp had turned over anu
covered her with oil, Which ignited from the
wi:k. Mrs. Burke was painfully burned, out hef
injuries are not considered dangerous.
The lamp was large kerosene lamp aoou'
eighteen :hes higr. The globular receptacle for
the oil stood upon pedestal, 10 which It. was
cemented, and was capable Of containing about
a quart Of the Nuld. A short time before the ac'
cIdent the lamp had teen rep!enished and was
then lust flied with oil. II was iu bad condition,
also, being loose wher, the globe joined the
pedestal, and seemed to threaten fall whenever
moved. When the persons arrived In the room'
after the accident, they saw the mantelpiece In
full blaze but the lamp standing upon 1t in the
midst Of the flames apparently unbroken. 1ew
seconds afterwards it exploded from the heat Of
the fire.
The alarm of IRE and the bright b'aze attracted
a large crowd 10 the scene, but they dispersed
quietly after the flames had been exdngulshed
and the building was out Of danger.

PAY UP TIE TAxEs.-The plan of withhold.
ing the taxes during the latter days Of the Pills
bury administration worked admirably for the
time and the only drawback Is that the tax
payers take some time 10 change their tactics and
pay up. Now, at length, the taxpayers Of the
c!k, have Mayor and Council whom they mainly
elected and to whom the finances OF the city can
be connded with implicit confidence. This Coun
Gil, at it's first meeting, gave the citizens an ex
tension OF time in which TO pay up the last install
pent OF taxes due, and 1t Is but just that every
taxpayer should pay up at once. The money in
the treasury has been for some time at low.wateI
mark, and q large amount Of bills coming over
from the last administration have 10 be shoulder
ed aal paid by this Council. The action already
taken by the present board shows that the ex
penses OF the city and the various departments
are being watched with jealous eyes, and that
every cent of the public money will bring Its
equivalent. The Council. need the lurpor: OF the
citizens, and the payment OF the taxes is the FIRST
and best mode Of giving 1t. Pay up and get the
matter of your mind.

OUR COMMERCE WITH NEW ORLEANs.-The
valuable trade which Charleston had with New
Orleans some years back, based on the shipment
Of rice and other articles TO that port and the re
turn Of sugar, molasses and other commodities
has been languid for some time, largely on &C.
count Of the want OF proper facilities, and we were
pleased to notice the commencement OF an i'm
portant step for its improvement in the arrival Of
the excellent steamship Tappahsnnock. This
vessel has been rapidly laden and sailed on Wed
nesday for New Orleans with fve hundred and
eighty eight tierces Of rice and sundries. She
win probably be employed on the route between
the two ports, and will be the means Of giving
shippers cheap and reliable freight accomods'
tions. Her agents In New Orleans, Hessrs. Fair.
banks Leay craft, deserve credit for the energy
wi h which they have pushed the enterprise.
