MANY friends and acquaintance of the
family, who have their sympathy in this

caused by the unintentiOnal open
ing a spring door, which was put on the
stools Of the furnace while the not blast
was on ii, while they were being blown
out, a process which is gone through every

door, and the person who opens il stands at
some distance, in order TO BE- out OF danger,
as the blast of hot cir filed with dirt and
dust rushes out with terrific force. II is
supposed Mr.. Kelley had forgotten about
this door or was not aware that the hot
blast was on this stove at the time, there
