At the meeting Of the board of county
commissioners yesterday morning there
was an informal discussion of the clear
ance tax sale passed by the last legis-
lature, and it was decided to hold spe-
cial meeting of the board next Saturday
morning to consider the subject. A
number of the commissioners were of
the opinion that the law is faulty, and
that sales made under it will be in
valid.
In a discussion on the question of
the advisability Of erecting a new jail,
in view of the building inspectors report
that the present structure Is liable to
fall, Mayor Kiefer put himself on record
very decidedly.
The old jail has stood for forty
years, and it will stand for forty years
more" he said.
1t was decided to postpone the matter
indefinitely.
The annual reports of Clerk Of Courts
Rogers and Gates A Johnson Jr., the
county surveyor, were received and filed,
and a communication from James +.
Jackson, secretary of the board of cor
rections and charities, offering his serv-
Ices in considering any plans for the
erection of a new Jail was referred to the
committee on public buildings.
The committee on records and reports
reported having examined and found cor
rect the report of County Treasurer
Arosin for October, November and De-
cember.
A resolution by Commissioner Lott was
passed permitting Brown, Treacy & Co.
to change their bid on county stationery
for the probate court to read SOL .25, In
stead of $21. rs, because of a clerical err
ror.

Explosion of Gasoline in Water
on a Hot Stove.

Because OF fright over a small fire IN
her home at 3l5 North Water street last
Thursday morning, Mrs. Thompson is
paralyzed on her right. side and is to-
tally blind. Since that time she has
been unconscious and al a consultation
Of physicians called yesterday it was CIV
en- out that she could only live short
time.
The fire in the home was the result Of
an explosion from gasoline, which was
being used in washing. 4 colored woman
was in charge OF the washing and had
water heating on the stove. knowing
that gasoline was sometimes used in
washing the colored woman procured
can and poured considerable in the
water. which was on the hot stove At
ter doing this she went out into the
yard. Coming back she saw that the
gasoline had gathered az the top OF the
water and thinking to mix il, stirred it
with a stick, at which time the explo-
sion occurred The fire was put out by
the neighbors before the arrival Of the
department
Mrs. Thompson, at the time OF the fire,
rushed to the front gate and stood there
for some time after the neighbors came.
When they went 70 her, IL was noticed
that size acted strangely and without
warning sank TO the ground in an IN
conscious condition. She was gotten into
the house and everything done for her
that was possible but with little effect
After a short time it was noticed that
she could not use her left arm and on
investigation the entire left part Of the
body was found to be paraIyzed- From
the time Of the fire she has been totally
blind, although she was never known 10
he troubled with her eyes before that
time.
The woman is unconscious a greater
part Of the time and at intervals dur
ing the day trys to talk. A portion Of
the time it can be understood as 10 what
she tries to say, but the words are all
mungled together.
Relatives of the family were telegraph
ed last night and are expected here with
in few days.
