A Fatal Practical Joke.

Two Cubans named Iglesia, of wealthy parents, concluded to devote themselves to the construction of locomotives, and in order to obtain a knowledge of the business obtained employment in the Rogers Locomotive Works, Paterson, N. J. One of them soon returned to his parents plantation; the other, Antonio, continued to work for over a year About two months ago he and 8 fellow workman were inside of locomotive boiler, holding sledge hammer against rivets which were being fastened from the outside. The compartment was rather narrow and the workmen were compelled to lie on their backs, so they placed lot of cotton waste on the bottom of the boiler to render their position more comfortable. A practical joker thought it would be fine sport to set fire to the cotton waste, which was saturated with oil, and accordingly did so. Iglesia's companion, who was near the open end of the boiler, got out in safety, but the smoke overcame Iglesia and he crouched in the ether extremity of the boiler and was considerably burned before the fire was put out. He was taken to his boarding house, at No. 7 Cross street. It soon appeared that the fire had injured his ear, and the in- fammation continued for some time when he died A telegram to Iglesias rela. tives in Cuba was answered by another instructing the friends of the dead mar to embalm the body and send it to Cuba Coroner Newcomb is making an investi gation, which may result in the arrest of the practical joker.
