Kerosene Lamp Exploass
Fatally InjuEing = Young
Woman and Little
(a{r1.

On Saturday night the people
Of Glcnwood, Iowa, were alarm.
cd by the startling cry Of fire
The alarm was caused by the explo.
sion of kerosene lamp at the resi-
dence Of A, Ragur, the particulars Of
which we CLEAN from Journal extra
as follows:
Lizzie Ragur, a young lady of IL
years, was reading aloud to the FAM
lily, while Lille and George were
seated around the table, when sud-
denly the lamp exploded, accompan-
led with loud peport, and screams
of 1.-The entire household, all Of whom
in wild confusion sought the door.
THE INJURED
by the explosion were: Miss Lizzie,
aged IS; George, aged about IL, and
little Lille, aged nearly 5 years. The
entire top portion Of the lamp blew
off and the burning oil spread all
over the faces and breasts Of these
children, literally burning its way
into their bodies. The boy George
ran out and threw himself on the
ground, rolling around until the
flames were extinguished. The faith
or and mother with all possible dis
patch turned their attention to the
other two children, tearing their
clothes off rs soon az possible. In do
ing this, both parents were terribly
burned about the hands. The
orrn.a n, q 80 xhn rh3IArn~ h~c,,rh& IN.
their assistance such neighbors 40 live
within hearing.
Drs. Bosbyshell, Smith, Henderson
aud Townsend were called, and did
everything in their power for the al
deviation Of the sufferers during the
entire night; while other kind hearts
and willing hands ministered unto
the grief-stricken family.
After ten hours of most excruciating
agony, poor little Lille died at about
8 and Lizzie at 81 o'clock this (Sun-
day. morning. George. at present
writing, 40 oclock) Is resting easy
and hopes for his recovery are enter
tanned.
n AZ to the cause ofthe explosion we
can learn nothing very certainly
The burner was said to be closed
with ashes from the wick, SO that lit
tie or no gas could escape from the
lamp. 1t may have been that or it
may have been the poor quality Of
the kerosene. The latter fact could
be tested and ascertained by the ac-
ton of q coroner's jury.
Miss Lizzie and little Lille are to be
buried this afternoon.
We repaired to the scene of last
nights disaster, and there witnessed,
In all its dreaded horror, the heart
rending results. We could not If we
would and would not if we could,
portray the appearance Of the scared,
SCARED and CHASTITY corpses of those
children. To contemplate them is
too terrible for any heart not made Of
stone. Lost indeed must be the hu-
man being whose heart could not re-
spond to the better impulses as they
become familiar with the details of
this family's terrible affliction. Poor
though they be, such sorrow makes
them the equal Of the best and richest
in the land.

has been overhauling the accounts Of
school District officers with the schoo
fund and he finds the losses from the

fiscal year, 1877, are 1886. 562.27, or an
average of $S7, l12.45 per year. Wa.

records show q most wretched and
even culpable method Of keeping this
fund by treasurers. In some cases
there 10 strong evidence Of absolute
fraud"
And now will some one who knows
arise and explain, so far as the school
district officers Of this county are
concerned p Daily Courier StA.

the above in our Saturdays Daily is.

called upon us and remarked that
several have accosted him for an ex-

that it has no reference to his &C.

the Leader has struck wrong lead.

The outlook.

One Of these days Ottumwa is to
have completed the best and cheapest
Water Power in Iowa, and not sur
passed by any in the Western States.
It already has the best and cheapest
coal, the most stone and timber re-
sources, the finest and cheapest rail-
road transportation Of any city in
Iowa. It has also, tributary to it, su-
perior agricultural resources, and ID
notoriously SO healthy that the doc
tors have hard work to make q living.
Moreover, it has already over ten
thousand people, and class of mcr.
chants, manufacturers and other bust.
ness men Of great energy and liberal
capital.
These things combined, will make
Ottumwa large city at an early day,
without any reasonable doubt.
Next season more houses will be built
than ever before in this city, and with
ordinarily good crops for few years
we may safely anticipate an era Of
general prosperity ahead OF us.

The Louisville Courier-Jouynal,
which is published in State where
whisky ought to be good if any
where, confirms the statement that
probably 500 gallons out of every
l 200 that are sold as brandy are made
from a vile compound Of whisky
swill, distilled spirits and chemical
denominations, and adds: "And as it
is also equally true Of whisky, what
in the name of goodness are we all to
do for something to drink? 1t looks
as if we are to be driven to the pump
in spite of US. If the world at large
knew Of what villainous stutfs brandy
and whisky and wines are made of,
the present crop Of drunkards would
be about the last, or, at any rate, oil
future crops would be small. Near
ly, or quite all the liquors that are re-
tailed nowadays are undoubtedly a
slow but sure poison, and to drink
them habitually is simply a rounda-
bout way of committing suicide, and
unless you guard yourself carefully
the way is not SO roundabout either
