THE MOTHER STARTED A FIRE IN

A WRECK.

Bridgeton, n. j.. Jan. 3.-This town
is shocked over two serious accidents
which resulted from the bursting OF
waterbacks on kitchen ranges.
Yesterday morning Mrs Samuel cas-
sahoon. who lives on Clark street
found that the fire in her kitchen range
had gone out and at once set about re-
building It. This accomplished, she be-
gan to prepare breakfast.
She went into an adjoining room for
a few minutes, leaving her l3-months
old baby asleep in the kitchen. Hear
ing a loud explosion. she rushed back
into the kitchen. and was horror
stricken at the scene that met her eyes.
The waterback had burst, the stove
was a complete wreck, and her child's
head was crushed In by q flying piece
of iron. She ran screaming into the
street for help. and when neighbors
came in II was seen that the baby
though not dead. was mortally injured.
DR.. Oliver was sent for. but nothing
could save It, and IL died within half
an hour.
It is supposed that the pipe supply
ing the waterback with water froze last
night. and that the newly-made fire
generated steam, which burst the
waterback and wrecked the stove.

FRANKFORT, KY, January 21.-
The clergymen of Frankfort have de-
cided that mex Tuesday shall be set
apart in this city as a day of humilia-
ton and prayer. Services will be held
in the Episcopal church at three diff
ferent times during the day, the first
service being at 8 a. M, the second at
4 p. m. and the third at Z p. N. The
churches uniting in observance Of the
day include the Episcopal, Baptist,
Methodist, two Presbyterian, Christian
and Roman Catholic-all the churches
in Frankfort. The clergymen of the
various denominations announced from
their pulpits this morning that the de-
plorable events of the last week in the
city of Frankfort and the continued
talk of possible repetition Of such af-
fairs as the Colson-Scott tragedy which
is, at times, INDUCED in by indiscreet
political partisans, had rendered nee
essary some steps to awaken the pub

Prayers will be offered at all three SER
vices asking that men of both parties
may be guided to act with wisdom and
moderation and that the danger OF
further bloodshed may be safely passed
by.
Attorneys OF both sides were all day
preparing evidence to be submitted
during the next week. While no agree
ment has been reached regarding the
time to be allowed for the further in
PRODUCTION of evidence 1t is generally
believed that it will require all of this
week for the examination of witnesses
and that arguments will not be until
next week. The Republicans have de-
cided not to place VIM. T. Clarke, of
New York, on the stand, and have
withdrawn the subpoena served upon
