ance in our borough yesterday, and was
seen near the gas house by Officer Hays.
Knowing that If Burns caught sight of
him he would be off like streak, he en-
gagged Harry Albert to engage the negro
in conversation while he and Officer
Bautz would take him from the rear.
Albert proceeded to where he was, and
Immediately seized him. But Burns
got loose and started to run, when AL
bert threw stone which struck him in
the head and partly felled him. Albert
then rushed upon him, but the darkey
was too strong. Using a stone, he beat
Albert pretty badly, and then took to

Deadly Kerosene. Friday evening
last, son of Michael M'Gee's, of Lou
don, aged about eight years, attempted
+. to hasten the kindling of fire by pour
Ing on kerosene. While in the act the
oil in the vessel ignited and exploded,
scattering the blazing fluid over his
person and horribly burning him. The
boy fingered in agony for several hours,
when death relieved him of his suffer-
ings. And thus it is-one more unfortu-
nate is added to the already unparalleled
list of kerosene victims; one more life
blotted out in the happiness of child
hood. A man would not handle or al
low to be handled carelessly portion of
dynamite or nitro glycerine, and yet
carelessness with kerosene has destroyed
more lives than did ever either of these
other explosives. While we deplore
this fatal occurrence we again seek to
impress on the minds of the people the
danger of using this fluid in any other
manner than that for which it is in
tended.-ErdnkLi11 Repository.

Arrival from Mayaguez-Ten British
 Sailors Broughtto Port.
 The schooner Mary E. Douglass, Captain Lewis, arrived yesterday from Mayaguez with a cargo of molasses to MT. John J. Matthias. She had been some 21 days on the passage and has experienced verybad weather indeed, the captain being some seven days longer in making this passage than ever before from the same place. On March 11th, when in latitude 2s.S5 and longitude 69.02. he fell in with the British bark Medford, of Windsor, Nova Scotia, with cargo of 700 tons of salt from Cadiz, Spain, bound to Gloucester, Mass. and found her dismasted and leaking and in a disabled condition. Captain Lewis took of the captain and crew and brought them to this port. Captain Dickey, of the bark, reports when he left the vessel it had five feet six inches of water in the hold, with the pump broken by the falling of the mast and the water still gaining on her. They saw no possible chance of keeping her free, as when they left her she was settling by the stern. There were ten persons in the British bark thus rescued, and seven on the schooner, making party of seventeen on board the Mary E. Douglass for fourteen days. The Douglass experienced very bad weather be- fore and after falling in with the bark and was very fortunate in having good supply of provisions on board. The rescued party proceeded to New York on theS Starin. boat last night, to report to the British Consul to be sent to their respective homes. Captain Dickey and his crew say that they received every kindness from Captain Lewis and crew and feel under deep obligations to them for the treatment received at their hands.
