VICTIMS OF KEROSENE.
Terrible Fatc of n Mother and her
Two Children.

A terrible accident which illustrates the
gross carelessness so common in tho handling
of kerosene oil has occurred in Petersburg
Va, resulting in the probable loss of
thres lives, While Mr. William Cook,
an employe at tho Appomatox iron foundry,
was at church his wife and little
daughter, aged nine years, were sitting before
tn, wood fire ON the open hearth In her lap
the mother held her fourteen-months-old
babe. The fire was not burning very bright
ly, and Mrs. Cook, in order to quicken it =,
took the kerosene oil can and poured some
of the fluid upon the wood. There was a
flash and report, and the burning oil from
the exploded can was thrown over
the mother and children In a second all
three were evolved in flames. Their shrieks
OF agony brought help, and the flames were
extinguished rapidly as possible, but not
before all three had been horribly and fatally
burned. They presented a shocking sight, the
children especially having received frightful
injuries.

EAGLE AND CHILD.
The Bird Of Freedom Carries OFF and
Kills IL Two car old.

few mornings since the wife of Jean Bap-
tiste Romilly, farmer in ST. Vincent de
Paul, village about ten miles from Montreal,
was feeding her fowls, while her child, aged
about two years, was playing around, when
suddenly large bald headed eagle swooped
down and bore the little one Off in its talons.
The child screamed and extended its arms to
its mother, who was beside herself with men-
tai agony, but was powerless to render as
sstance, The screams of the child, however,
attracted the neghhors, who with shotguns
pursued the eagle. The bird was seen to alight
with its prey upon the roof of barn a mile
distant. Lifting up its head, with one power
full stroke it drove its beak into the chids
head, and then began its horrid feast. At the
near approach of the neighbors, who were fir
Ing guns to frighten it, the eagle took flight,
leaving the child behind. When the body
was discovered life was extinct. The skull
was split in two and a part had been de-
voured.
