"A serious aud near fatal accident
occurred at the Memphremagog House
last Sunday evening. On ghting the gas
in the house it was found there was some
diff Guilty about it. thought to be II leakage
in the pipes. Mr.. Bowman with his en-
queer Joe, proceeded to the tank in the
park, few rods from the house, where
the gasoline is kept. This is large hole,
like cistern, some 10 feet deep, into
which they descended by ladder.
When Mr.. Bowman lighted match aud
the gas having escaped from some break
in the pipe, suddenly ignited and both
were severely burned. How badly they
arc injured it Is impossible to tell. The
physiciens think there is no present danger.
Joe, who was the last to get out of the
tank was though to be the most severely
injured, and it was feared internally, he
having had severe spasms during the
night after the accident, but was more
comfortable Monday. Mr. Bowman is so
badly burned and dis6gured as hardly to
be recognized. Considerable time elapsed
from the opening of the tank while the
men were getting down, before the match
was lighted, giving an opportunity for
much of the gas to escape; otherwise the
result must have been fatal to the lives of
both. The shock at the time Of the igni-
tion was quite prcceptiblc across the street.
The escape from instant death was indeed
a very narrow one we trust the injury
will not prove so severe as was at first
feared, and that neither will suffer any
permanent disability.-Newport Express.
