cred in peculiar manner, and Mr.. Gill,
concluding it was going to explode, picked
it up and started to the door with the in

not gone far before it exploded with a
loud report, filling the room with great
flame and setting FIRE to the house

ner ran to the house. Several others
also ran into the house, and through
their Efforts the fire was extinguished
without the aid Of the fire company. Mr..
Gill was found to be severely burned, but
did not inhale the fire when the lamp
exploded almost in his face. His
clothes were removed at once and DR.. /.
N. La MoIee was summoned. Several
burns were found on his hands, face,

A Contemplate Blk

Prof. Fl. @. Hartley, or whatever his
name is, has left Albany, probably going
from the city last Friday morning, after
cutting a wide swath here for two or
three months. 1t transpires that he is q
professional dead beat, blk and hypo-
critic. One OF his first acts was to join
the NJ. E. church on probation in order
to have a standing in society. While here
he boarded at three different places and
left without hquidating at any of them.
One of them was Mr.. Michener's across
the river. Besides his board on several
occasions he brought over thirty or forty
boxes of strawberries for an alleged lodge
entertainment to be paid for when the
lodge paid him. What he did with them
It Is not known. He run boys club
and got the members to raise fifteen OF
twenty dollars for guns with him al
treasurer, borrowed IS from Clarenct
Craw and all he could from others, anG
of course took the funds with him. Th'
United States is warned to look on
for him. Before coming to Albany it
learned now that he had done about tn
same business under different name il
Salem, and it certainly displayed chee
to come SO near and proceed with th
game. The public may well learn
lesson.

Company has been in the, city, and
again reports the road to be progressing
rapidly. Without any money and APP
parently no backing wilkins has kept

complished enough to make considera-
BILE OF q showing. The grading OF the
road has been done between Lebanon
and Waterloo, the right of way having
been secured, and now over two thirds
of the ties are on the ground ready to be
laid, and Mr.. wilkins reports that the
work of laying the rails will actually be-
gin before long. A good many people
doubt wilkins ability to complete the
road, but all the same he keeps at it and
it looks very much as if he will eventu-
ally have train running between Leb-
anon and Waterloo.
