THREE PERSONS LITERALLY ROASTED
ALIvE-PRoBABLE DEATH OF ALL THE VIC
T1Ms.-One of those terrible kerosene casual
ties which unfortunately are frequently the
result Of gross carelcssness, occurred yester-
day morning at tenement-house, No. 152
Gratiot street, between Hastings and All
tome. The house was occupied in part by
Nathan Ferguson, colored sailor, and his
family, consisting of wife and child, all of
whom were, it is feared, fatally burned.
About y o'clock Ferguson got up to build
fire In stove, which, unknown to him, con-
tanned quantity of smouldering emEers and
Goals. AS is too often the case with ignorant
or careless persons, in order to facilitate ope-
rations, he procured IN oil-can, and, taking
of one of the stove covers, poured u
quantity Of oil upon the kindling. III All in
slant the dangerous fluid communicated with
the Goals and ignited, u solid sheet of fame
flashing up into Ferguson's face and set
ting fire to his clothing. The can, which he
still held In his hand, was exploded, and the
burning oil scattered all about the apart
ment. Almost instantly the fire eommunl.
gated to the bedding Of the couch upon
which the woman and child were sleeping,
and they, too, were enyeloped IN flames.
