Illuminating charlatan called kerosene

ter of Mr.. Murchison, residing near
Farmersville, the particulars of whose
death we are indebted to gentleman
from that neighborhood. Miss Muir
Gibson had poured some of the fluid on
some kindlings in the stove to hasten
its igniting, and then thoughtlessly sat
the can on the stove. Turning to at
tend to some duty, it suddenly occurred
ed to her that she left the can
i'm a very dangerous place,
and at once placed her hand on the
can TO remove it, when it exploded
with frighCiul effect, enveloping the
poor girl in a flame of fire which, in
very few mtnutes, destroyed her cloth
ing and burned her flesh to the bone
Every eff ort was made to save her, but
In fifteen minutes after the explosion
she was dead.
