son, g. sad-faced, middle-aged woman
registered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
on Saturday last. She came from
Memphis, Tenn, with several friends.
She had been in the hotel but short

the attention of tbs other guests was
attracted to her. Her friends called
in medical assistance. Yesterday her
malady took the form of acute de-
mentia. TWAS deemed best to remove
her to the New York hospital. She re-
sisted, and begged her friends not to
allow her enemies to kill her. 1t was
stated at the hospital by one of her
friends that the patient is member
of a prominent Southern family, and
that her trouble is due to a habit she
formed several years ago of taking
opium to relieve severe pains in her
head.

COAL OIL EXPLOSION.
A Young Lady Frightfully Burned
-The Kitchen in Flames.

About u o'clock yesterday an acci-
dent occurred at the residence of Mrs.
Gibson on Yong Street, near Fourth,
thai very nearly resulted in the burning
of young lady to death and the de-
struction OF the house. Annie Rutter,
daughter of Mr.. Rutter, who was
drowned at West Weber short time
since, aged about Il, was left in the
kitchen by Mrs. Gibson to do some
washing. being cautioned 10 leave
the FIRE entirely alone. The lady, how
ever, was gone longer than she had an
ticipased, and the fire becoming low, the
girl endeavored 10 rekindle it. and in so
doing used some coal oil. IL appears
that she must have poured the oil from
a can that was nearly full into the fire.
At all events a terrific explosion &C.
CURED and the flames caught in the
girls clothing and soon spread until the
whole interior of the kitchen was ablazs.
The girl, frantic with terror, ran around
the corner of the ho=se and was met by
Mrs. VIM. Orr, who lives in the front
part of the building. At this juncture
some men who were near ran in and
soon extineuished the frein the kitchen,
but none OF them seemed to know what
TO do with the girl, who was suffering
the most intense agony. her
right hand being burned and
apparently cut with the broken
glass Of the oil; her skirts burning and
she frantically rushing about endeavor-
ing to tear her clothing off. Mrs. Ort,
however, endeavOred to in1uce the girl
to roll over on the ground and thus
extinguish the fire, but without effect
Finally the girl succeeded in tearing off
the blazing skirts and throwing them
on the ground. Her corsets, however,
were still burning, but were soon ex-
tinguiShed with water BY Mrs. Ort.
The injuries of the unfortunate young
lady are severe, though not necessarily
fatal. Her hands and arms WEI e badly
burned, one of them being nothing but
a sickening mass of blood and burnt
flesh her finger nails were black. having
the appearance of being charred: both
limbs from near the body to the ankles
were 8 solid blister and the blackened
skin presented q shocking spectacle as
the physicians was DIRE ssing the wounds.
The interior OF the room presented
blackened appearance but the damage
to that was very slight.
The injured girl bore up under the
terrible affiiction with heroic fortiIude,
telling her mother who bad come in,
and was feeling very badly, to quiet
herself as she was all right and would
soon De we'll. But for the commendable
presence of mind of Mrs. Or in ex-
tinguishing the fire on the young lady,
she must necessarily have been burned
much worse. DR.. Powers was called
ana attended the girls in
juries. after which she was removed
10 the residence of Mrs. A. Green
wall, where she will receive as good
care as possible. The shock TO the
nerves of the poor mother was very
great, causing as it did so soon after
:he terrible ordeal occasioned by the
drowning of her husband in the Weber
River.

Glover Hay.

Glover hay, when properly cured
and taken care Of, is one of the finest
articles that can be grown, but when
poorly made and musty, it is not fit
for horse to eat. Now, while it is
true that very much depends on the
weather, yet it is equally true that
good clover may be made almost any
year. 1t is impossible, however, to
make good clover hay without having
two clear days in succession, unless
you provide yourself with water proof
caps. But say you have two fair DAYS
in succession from the time you COM
mence cutting and which should be
when about one-half of the heads are
turning down-the mower should be
started as soon in the morning as the
dew is off and kept running until you
have barely time to put it all in wind
row before night, the larger the wind
rows the better, as they hold more
heat, and it is the heat that does the
curing while in windows.
When the crop has been cut with
the hot sun shining thereupon for
few hours, it will have absorbed heat
enough to almost cook it during the
night. Then in the morning, as soon
after breakfast as possible, the wind
rows should be gently loosened up
with forks to allow the air free access
through them until noon, by which
time the hay will be ready to put in
the NOW. 1t is better, unless rain
is very imminent, never to put clover
hay into cock, but haul it in direct
from the windrow. The curing is
then done in the windrow over night.
No salt should ever be used on clover
hay, especially when putting away in
the NOW. Salt draws moisture from
the atmosphere, and as consequence
will cause the hay the more readily TO
heat and become musty.
1t is always best, however, to have
waterproof caps on hand in case you
should find necessity for using them,
in which case good bright clover hay
can be made in almost any kind Of
weather. To make them, waterproof
material is of course the best, but
unbleached coarse cotton will answer
the purpose almost equally as well.
If made of the latter, procure it five
feet understanding cotton,-tear it
into five feet lengths, and, with a
sewing machine, hem in good stout
cord along each edge, leaving a small
loop at each corner. Then make four
pins some eighteen inches in length,
of any kind of hard wood, for each
cap, and after adjusting these cover
ings in place, pin down each corner
securely to the ground to remain so
until all danger of rain is over.
