Coal OIL DIsAsrKRs.-we reported yester-
day morning another of those painful and ay-
ful deaths resulting from the explosion of coal
oil, OF which so mournful a catalogue is every
year furnished. A complete list OF all the lives
lost from this cause would be indeed appalling
Sometimes the cause of the explosion is care
less hSBdling; sometimes il is the reflIing of a
lamp while still burning; sometimes it Is the
close proximity OF the lamp to a hot stove; for
merly scores OF slaughters used to result from
the practice of using coal oil TO start sluggish
IRE. In the case just spoken of, the uufortu-
nate woman had simply blown out the light-a
matter which, to most persons, would appear
utterly harmless; and yet the lamp exploded,
and the woman was so frightfully burned that
on the day following death relieved her agony.
nor Is this the only case OF explosion and death
IN our own community, resulting from the prac-
zee OF blowing out coal oil lamps We remem.
yer mat some time ago in the southern part of
ne clty, an estimable lady undertook to blow
out hall lamp filed with coal oil, when the
same terrible result took place as in the case
OF the unfortunate woman who died at the hos.
pltai on Monday. The victim in that earlier
csse IL ssid TO have besought her friends. on
her de2thbed, 10 let her fate be a warnjaS -
