death Of woman from the severe injuries
received by kerosene lamp explosion, one

James Carlin and wife occupy rooms in the
"Old Fort" About $50 o'clock the family
on the lower floor were startled by the appar-
ition of a woman, with her dress enveloped
in flames, rushing into the apartment shrek
ing for help. Recognizing her at once as
Mrs. Carlin they attempted to extinguish the
flames by dashing on water, but could not
put out the fire until quilt was wrapped
around the unfortunate woman and the blaze
thereby smothered. Going up stairs they
found Mr.. Carlin prone on the floor, with
big cash cut above the right eye, from which
the blood flowed profusely. The kerosene
lamp had exploded, and the room was full of
sitting gases. Drs. Croker and Webster
were Immediately summoned. They found
| the woman's injuries serious that it is very
doubtful if she can recover. Her whole body
from the neck to the hips, except a narrow
ridge along the spine, is burned over. Both
arms are burned up to the armpts, and her
left hand badly burned. The water which
was poured on the blazing kerosene was con-
verted into steam, which, when confined
under the quilt, scalded the scorched and
shriveled flesh. The cause of the explo-

and burnt her fearfully. Her husband, who
also sprang to seize the lamp when it fell,
was struck by it and cut on the forehead as
Mrs. Carlin threw it, and was like wise badly
