suited in the death Of Mrs. Dickins.
From the details Of the accident as
learned from those who were in the
house at the time. it appears that q
plumber and his assistant were putting
on a gutter 10 the rear of the third story
roof. Having completed the job. they
descended by means Of a ladder to the
third story. One Of the men carried N
his hand a lighted melting pot. AS he
descended the plumber detected the
strong fumes Of gasoline. and through
the open door to the front room, caught
q glimpse Of a woman sprinkling some
liquid on the floor. with the evident
purpose Of preparing to cleanse it. He
gave warning to his partner that gaso-
line was being used, and that there was
drnger from the frepot, but at this in.
slant a terrific explosion occurred. lit
orally enveloping the entire third story
in a mass Of flames.
The two men succeeded in making
their way to the rear windows, where
they got to a one story house building
and thence to the ground. They were
severely burned about the hands and
face.
Captain Dickins is one of the best
known officers connected with the navy
department, and he was brought into
prominence at the time the Maine was
blown up at Havana. He was then
acting chief Of the navigation bureau.
| and it fell to his lot to receive the first
dispatch from Captain Sigsbee, giving
information Of that disaster.
Mrs. Dickins was an authoress Of
some note. one Of her best known books
