GASOLINE
EXPLOSION.
Mrs. Mcmahon Has a Fer
tunate Escape From
Injury.

Mrs. Mary Mcmahon. wife OF
James Mcmahon, residing at No
1108 Pullman Place, had fortunate
escape from being seriously, If not
fatally injured this morning, by the
explosion of a gasoline stove. She
owes her deliyerance TO her husband
and Elmer Hutchinson, a neighbor.
Mrs. Mcmahon oversight herself
this morning and when she went
down stairs, she resolved to get her
husbands breakfast ready on the
gasolene stove. The stove has three
burners and she placed the lamp
about the centre burner, while she
poured the gasoline into the stove.
Whether some of the fluid fell into
the chimney of the lamp, or wheth-
er the fumes caught fire from the
heat of the globe, Mrs. Mcmahon
cannot say, but an explosion took
place. In moment she was en-
veloped in flames. Her first thou ght
was to smother the flames and she
grabbed an ovcrcoat OF her hus-
bands and tried to put out the fire.
Seeing that she could not do so, she
cried for help. Her husband dash
ed to her aid Immediately, as did
Mr.. Hutchinson also. The latter
was sieving ashes in his yard at
No. 1l04 Pullman Place. when he
heard Mrs. McMahon's screams.
He. saw the reflection of the blaze
and leaped over the fences until he
came to the shed door. Mrs. Nc
Mahon had the presence Of mind to
open the shed door for him and he
threw the blazing stove into the
yard. Mr.. Mcmahon grabbed his
oyercoat and succeeded III extin-
gushing the fire that was burning
his wife's dress. The oil stove
flames set fire TO back fence and
Officer Winthrop, who arrived on
the scene by this time, extinguished
the blaze with few buckets Of
water.
Mrs. AIcMahon's lett wrist was
severely burned and her dress in
the back was totally destroyed.
Mr.. Hutc hinson received some slight
burns about the hands. The dam
age to the property is slight. Mrs.
McMahon stated to a reporter this
morning that she could not account
for her miraculous escape.
When Mr.. McMahon heard her
screams, he imagcd she had been
to the store and on her return, she
had been attacked by some one.
He ran to the front door first, after
hearing his wile's cries, thinking
she was there. The reason for i'm
aginlng his wife had been attacked.
was that some one attempted to
break into the house on Monday
night during her husband s absence.
1t was about s. 80 o'clock and she
was engaged in reading the paper
and rocking her baby. Suddenly
she heard a noise at the shed door
and the shed seemed to shake as if
some one had been pulling down the
building. Mrs Mcmahon ran to
the front door and called the people
next door. An examination showed
that the shed door had been broken
omen.

INTERESTING
SERVICES.
DR.. McCurdy Preached an
Eloquent and lnstruc-
tive Sermon.

Last Sabbath found the beautiful
audience room of Central Presby-
terrain Church crowded with enthu-
siastic and appreciative audience.
The morning service was some
what marred at the opening by a
refusal of the fine new organ to do
its part, because of a lack of water
power. The cause of the trouble
was removed IN time for a selection
by the choir, and for the closing
hymn. This incident, although emf
barassing to pastor and people, did
not in the least detract from the in
terest taken in the sermon so ably
delivered by the pastor. Many re-
marked ashley passed out of church,
that they had never enjoyed SER
mon more than they had that one.
The text was from John 10: Is, and
the subject was SIN the Midst. "
DIR. McCurdy never preached with
greater power or impressiveness,
and many in the house were deeply
moved as he portrayed the majesty
and presence of Christ, as again
and again He appearedin the midst
while on earth, and as He now
dwells in the midst on high.
The new departure in the con-
duct of the evening service is one
that promises to become quite popu-
lar with the people. Gospel
hymns have been introduced and
the pastor delivers a short address
without notes. This departure on
his part is bringing forth much
commendation from his hearers,
since many believe ministers
power is greatly increased by his
addressing them without the MSS.
While this may be quite true, con-
corning the preaching of the Cos
pei, vet DR.. McCurdy's use of the
MSS is seldom objected to, since he
uses it with great ease. The sub
iect of the evening sermon was
"Agrippa's Irony" the text was
from Acts % q. The sermon was
one of earnest entreaty for all to ac-
cept of Christ as their Saviour.
Every point was pressed upon the
attention of those present with great
earnestness. Just as the pastor
finished his address, a thrilling
and most solemn innovation was in
troduced by the organic playing
softly and slowly, the gospel tune,
almost Persuaded.
1t was a mostfitting conclusion to
SO solemn a sermon. During its
rendering many in the house were
moved to tears. Surely nothing
can be more inspiring to the human
soul than just such a service as this
one was.
The y. p. s. c. f. of this church
had ameeting of unusal interest just
before the evening church service.
At this meeting the pastor of the
church in behalf of the society, pre-
scented to Mr.. J. H. Burns, men,
Der OF the society and president OF
the State Y. p. S. c. E., set of
resolutions. handsomely engrossed
and framed. The resolutions eX-
pressed their esteem for him, and
confidence in his faithfulness as a
Christian man and worker, also
their confidence in his ability to
serve as president Of the State En-
deavor work. All believe that this
was an honor worthily bestowed.
1t is many years since Central
Church has been so thOrOuphlV en-
Unused as 1t is to-day. The Sunday
school had an attendance last Sab
bath of nearly 400.

HEAVY LOSS
!. BY FIRE.
Three Horses and a Mule
Perish in a Morrow
Street Stable Blaze.

Fire of a mysterious origin de.
stroyed property in this city this
morning that will reach loss of al
least$5,000. Shortly after 9 O'Clock
fire was discovered in the stable Of
Thomas Reynolds, tenanted by c.
S. Keene, on Morrow street above
Seventh. An alarm was turned in
/ and the district companies respond.
ed. A telephone message was also
sent to the Fame Hose Company
and italso went into service. The
stable contained 80 horses and a
mule belonging to farmers who were
in the Madison Street Market.
Twenty-nine horses were gotten
out but a pair of horses belonging
to John Rakestraw, Of Kennett
Square, horse belonging to Arthur
Menner of Marshallton and mule
belonging to Thomas Pryor, of the
Bear, persisted in the flames Three
wagons belonging to Fred Reimer,
J. ]. Smith and Thomas Reynolds
We're destroyed as well as a guam
tity of hay and feed.
A stiff breeze was blowing at the
time and the flames SOON caught
the stable and ice house of Bernard
Beste. 1t did not take the fire long
to reduce the buildings to ashes.
The loss is estimated at about
5000 partly covered by insurance
The heaviest loser is Bernard Beste
who places his loss at $1,000 on
which there is an insurance of
81, $50 in the Farmers Mutual In
surance Company. Reynolds'had
no insurance on his property. The
horses owned by Rakestraw were
valued at $125 and were insured.
Michael Mulschenock who resides
in the rear of the stable saw the
smoke and sent in the alarm. Ser
gcant Rice and squad were soon
on the scene and roped off the
street so that the people would not
interfere with the work OF the fire.
men. c. S. Keenc who tenanted
the stable says the fire originated
in the back part of the stable at the
manure pile, Either some one
threw 4 lighted cigar among the
bedding or the hand of an incend-
airy caused the fire. He denies
the claim of Reynolds that an oil
stove was the cause of the fire.
Joseph Beste's loss on grain and
feed is 800 covered by insurance in
the Chester County Mutual Com
pany for $500.

WORKHOUSE !
LOAN INTEREST
$500 Interest on Work.
house Bonds Due With
IA in Two Weeks.

The trustees of the New Castle
County Workhouse within two
weeks will be called upon to pay
the first interest fee on that 500, OOO
loan authorized by the last Legis-
lature. The amount due is $3, 500,
the loan having been obtained at
SH per cent, and according to the
act Of the Legislature this money
must be paid by the trustees out Of
the appropriation.
Yesterday afternoon John N.
.Carswell, teller !sof the Farmers
Bank, through which institution
the 100000 was secured, consulted
with the workhouse trustees con
corning the interest. The trustees
in turn sought the advice of John
II. Rodney, the county's attorney,
who explained that the law con-
corning the workhouse explicitly
set out that the interest on the loan
was to be paid by the trustees out
Of the money realized from the sale
Of the bonds. The trustees will
therefore have to pay the $500
which will reduce the sum to be in
vested in the workhouse to 500. 500.
This big interest bill is the source
Of much concern to the workhouse
trustees. County officials think
that inasmuch as the trustees will
not use the money for perhaps a
year they should loan it at say 81.
per cent and thereby recover the
money which they pay on the orig
'inal loans. BY this arrangement
the trustees would be able to re-
tain the original 100000.
