FIRE AT FACTORYVILLE.
Mrs. j. T. Bush Has Narrow Escase
from CrematiOn-=-Result of Ex.
plOsiOn of Gasoline.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

SlSCidl W tHc SCTdhlOE IIlpuHe.
Factoryvilla, Feb. This afternoon
at 2 O'Clock an alarm of fire was sound
ed from the north end of town, and it
was soon discovered that the residence
of j. II. Bush, on Main street was on
fire. The Langstaff Hose company very
In a few minutes had a stream on the
flames, which We're confined to the west
corner of the house, but which had
eaten their way through the partitions
and between the walls to the roof. The
efficient work of the firemen soon told
on the flames and in about an hour
the fire was declared out.
The fire was caused by the explosion
of a pan of gasoline with which Mrs
Bush was cleaning some dress goods.
She had a very hot fire in the kitchen
range for baking purposes, and the
overheated atmosphere caused the gas
oline to explode While Mrs. Bush had
her hands in 1t. She ran out doors en-
Veloped in flames and her son happened
to be near and by rolling her in the snow
eXtinguished them, although Mrs. Bush
is quite seriously burned about the
hands and arms and her hair is badly
burned
Frank Bush was also burned about
the face and hands. The fire was con-
fined to three or four rooms, but the
damage by water is nearly as much as
by fire. The loss an building and con-
tents will perhaps reach $500 and no in
surance on house or contents.
