that the play scored still
another triumph to its already |

MRS. WHITTLE, OF PETERSBURG
LOSES HER LIFE THROUGH
THE EXPLOSION OF
GASOLINE

a very shocking accident oc.
Cured "Wednesday at Petersburg
Va, at the residence of Mr.. Far.
tescuc Whittle. It appears that
a colored man who is employee
by Mr.. Whittle, ladj just brought
to the house a gallon Of 9asoline;
Mrs. Whittle had some of the
fluid i'll a bowl on a table near
the CRATE, with which she was
cleaning a table cloth. III the
room at the time with Mrs.
Whittlc was her young baby
about twelve months Of age;
Miss Lucy Stono, Anna Clai-
borne, Colored, who was EMPLOY.
ed by Mrs. Whittle as nurse and
the COOK. While Mrs. Whittlc
was engaged cleaning the table
cloth with the gosoline the
fumes from the fluid became ig~
nited from the heat from the
fire and i'll all instant there was
an explosion. The oil flew all
over Mrs. Whittle and she was
burned 20 death. Her death is
believed to have been almost in
Simultaneous. Her body was
burned to a crisp Miss Stone,
who had been III the house but
few moments before the terrible
casualty occurred, in her efforts
to save MIS-. Whittle's infant,
vas terribly burned about the
face, hands and arms. Her hair
was also burned. The baby was
seriously burned OH the head,
Dat it IS not thought that its i'll
juries are necessarily fatal. It's
burns are about the head, legs
and face. The colored nurse was
terribly burned OH tile face,
neck, hands and arms, up to both
elbows The cook was also very
seriously burned about the face,
hands and body.
The news Of the sad affair
soon became known and hun-
dreds Of people Aocked to the
scene.

given al opportunity to speak,
but his words were inaudible.
He was told to pray. He NUNS
bled some inarticulate words at
first, but towards the close his
voice became stronger, and his
appels to God for mercy could be
plainly heard several yards away. |
After he had finished his
prayer, four men stepped forward
and dashed him (Hilliard) to an

the platform. Mr.. Bell. the hus-
