cape.
Between 6 and 7 o'clock last night while

men was engaged in making connections
between the mains OF the Mutual Gas
Light Company and the old company's
mains on BroughtOn street, nearly oppo-
site the Marshall House. column of
flame suddenly shot upward from the
mouth Of the pipe 10 a height
of about fifteen feet. People
on the street in the vicinity
fed in every direction, thoroughly pahic-
stricken. The news of the explosion
spread rapidly, and, as is usual under
such circumstances, was greatly eXag-
gerated. IL was reported that NOOrhis
had been seriously burned, and that it
was doubtful II he would survive until
this morning, and that one of his assist
ants was also in precarious condition
\ NEWS reporter made an in
vestigation of the accident. Mr..
NoOrhis was inserting plug in
the end of the main in order TO prevent
the escape of the gas preparatory to sus-
pending work for the night, when the
watchman, whose duty it is TO hang lam
terms on the nine of the excavation,
thoughtlessly hung a light directly over
the mouth Of TIA main. AS it was not
quite dark, the attention of Mr.. Voorhis
was not attract ID by it. The escaping
gas ignited quic xiv and forced out the
plug which be WIS in the act Of securing
in its position, aad threw him headlOng
on his side i'm tie ditch. With rare
presence of mind he seized the plug and
stopped the esca pc Of gas, thus extin-
gushing the 1an e. The neat and the
effect of the concus y ion completely pros
trated him. He was picked up and taken
into Haltiwanger's rug store, at the cor
ner of Drayton and BroughtOn streets.
whore his hands an face were bathed
with liniment. He V1as then sent in
carriage 20 his home, No. 19l
Bolton street. wha re he was at
tended by Or. G. harlton. 1t was
ascertained upon exh mination that he
was suffering more Fl n the effect Of the
conclusion caused by the explosion than
from mis- actual wOun 3, and that he was
bruised rather than burned about the
hands and face. His injuries will pro-
badly not cOnfne him " his room longer
than to-day. The We Tkman who was
assisting aim at the u me the explosion
took place was stunbsd and slightly
bruised on one hand, bu resumed work
short time afterwards

in the United States Courts.

DispOsiDg of the "ArOmatiq ne" cases
in the United States Courts.
At the meeting of the United States
Circuit Court yesterday argument was
heard on a motion to set aside an agree
ment on the record of the court, made
some time ago between the parties in the
suit of N. X. Baum against j. p. Thomas.
The court decided that as the agreement
was in the nature of a settlement and
was of record, 1t was similar to a iudg-
ment, and could not be set aside by mo-
ton.
The cases OF the United States against
Joseph Hardwick, W. II. Bitch and John
7. Parker, charged with retailing liquor
without having paid the special tax re-
quired by the statutes, were nolle pressed,
the defendants first paying the tax and
the penalty and costs. The defendants in
these cases were arrested for selling the
preparation known as ''ArOmatique."
During the sitting of the United States
District Court a similar disposition was
made in the cases of the United States
against V. FL. Burns, David G. Finch, d.
B. Regain and Horace 5. Bitch, who were
also charged with a violation Of the reVe-
nue. laws in selling AromatiqUe without
first paying the special tax.
James Wilson, charged with having in
undated a witness and who gave bond
for his appearance for trial. failed to APP
pear yesterday, and an order was taken
to forfeit his bond.
These courts will meet again this morn

then-uutn 10 a. m. today.
NIGHT SESSION.
The annual Grafton before the Associa-
ton was delivered last night by Dr. II. >,
Williams, Of Macon. DR.. Williams dis
claimed all attempts at oratOry, ana de-
liyered a most practical and common
sense address on "The importance OF go0d
nursing, and the training OF the nurses"
Intelligent nursing, he said. Is the hand
maid OF nature. IL affords the patient
that great panacea, Tcst-rest OF mind
and body; it recognizes the laws Of
health, ana pays every possible
attention to ventilation ana cleanliness,
to dirt and to every need Of the sick.
The trained nurse keeps watch for the
sunlight; ne notices the effects of medi-
cine upon the patients; he changes the
positions Ol tIlH4S 10 entertain MS charge,
and divert the mind from suffering and
pain. Ignorant nurses only add torture
TO the disease, and often end in death,
while intelligent, careful nursing assists
nature in the work Of recovery, and brings
back health and happiness.
The doctor advocated the establishment
Of schools for the training Of nurses in
every city, supported by the local medical
board. giving instruction in hygenie and
the simpler forms of practice. Women,
by their nature, he regarded speci-
ally adapted 70 this noble work,
ana capable Of great usefulness
aud Advancement. In conclusion, he
spoke OF the grand work OF Florence
Nightengale, who mad devoted so much
patient toll and care to the welfare Of
mankind in making the training of nurses
a science and herself an example OF the
good that follows such a noble cOnsecra-
ton to duty.
Dr.. Wilffa1ns' address was much appre-
ciated by the large audience present, and
at ITS conclusion be was warmly con-
graduated.
The President Of the association desires
all members to be present at the morning
session promptly al 10 O'Clock.
