and o'clock this morning an explosion
of natural gas wrecked the house of
Joseph Franklin, situated at the out
skirts of the city. and seriously, if not
fatally, injured Mrs. Franklin. 1t ap-
pears upon investigation that Mr..
Franklin disconnected the gas pipe some
weeks ago and had the meter removed,
but for some reason the pipe was not
plugged and the gas escaped into the
cellar. This morning Mrs. Franklin
started for the cellar with lighted
lamp, but had not descended more than
a step when the explosion occurred and
two sides of the house were literally
blown into the air. Mrs. Franklin wa
hurled backward a distance of fully
twenty feet and was found with her
clothing on fire and blood flowing from
her nose and mouth. The flames were
quickly eXtinguiShed and the injured
woman removed to the house of neigh
Dor. A sick son in one of the rooms had
one of his hands considerably burned,
but the balance of the family escaped
with nothing more serious than severe
shaking up. This is the most destruc-
tive accident that has occurred i'll this
vicinity since the introduction of natu-

upon the younger Locke and Gertie
Jumbo, (the latter child witness for
the Commonwealth, and daughter of
Mrs. Jenkins by her first marriage,)
and whilst watching them he saw an
angel fit from one to the other, and
he then solved the situation by COM
ing to the conclusion that young
Locke was in love with Gertie; and
that Jenkins was jealous of him that
he was not able to render verdict on
the evening the case was given to the
jury, but during the night he had
made up his mind that Locke was
guilty, and in the morning when he
woke up spirit seemed to say to him
Justified, justified, justified He
also stated that during the trial
spirit was whispering to him, Mercy,
