Resulted Fatally.

The injuries of Sylvester kexel, Of. Man.
chester, who was burned by the explosion OF
a can of coal oil July l3 last. proved fatal
Wednesday. after he had endured 10 weeks Of
intense suffering. His death occurred at Mr.:
Allen Lppy's residence, from which he could
not be moved after the accident. Mr.. hexei
was So years of age.
Al the time of the accident Mr.. kexel was
assisting to burn The rust from some iron pip,
ing, which had been taken out OF the ground
on the farm of Allen Lippy, in Manchester
district. The process was by pouring coal OH
in the pipe and igniting it. It was not burn
ing as freely as desired and Mr.; hexel at
tempted to pour more oil in it from can.
The explosion which occurred blew out the
bottom Of the can and thoroughly saturated
his trousers with the oil. which at once broke
into a blaze. Clinton Black ran for blanket
and threw il about Mr.. Kexel, but was unable
to extineuish the fire in that way, and finally
tore the clothing from his person. Almost
the entire surface of the unfortunate man
leos from his hips to his feet, was burned. and
his face and arms were also badly burned

INCENDIARISM AT MT. AIRY!
Four Business Houses Burned-LoSS OIL
Buildings And Contents Estimated At
$4,000.

On February 2jth. 1908, Mt Airy had fire
which burned L buildings causing loss Of
about $S5, 600.
At O'Clock a. m. on Saturday, September
II. the cry of fire aroused the citizens of that
place, and caused feeling Of horror IN their
hearts. Where and how did it start, was
asked. In few minutes it was found to be
the furniture store of +. NJ. Anderson X Co.
Willing hands formed a bucket line and soon
water was being used to the best advantage
under the circumstances, but as 1t and adJoln-
ing buildings we're all frame they burned rap
idly. Properties on the opposite side OF the
street were badly scorched, but were saved by
the liberal use of water.
The buildings burned and the losses are:
Two story frame building occupied by +. NJ.
Anderson 4 Co., as furniture store ~ 900;
J. W. Wilson'S meat store, owned by A. ).
Baker, 81, 900; Robert Selman saloon, $500;
Adam Rulands bakery, owned by Mrs. NJ. u.
Clary. 81, 500. The only thing that saved the
town from being swept away again, 1t Is be-
Geyed. is the fact that there are several vacant
lots between the Rutland bakery. the last prop
erty on fire, and the next building, which Is
the town hotel The fine is said to have been
caused by an incendiary, as there had been
no fire in the Anderson building.
Mt. Airy contains numerous large business
places and many FIRE residences and several
churches, and its enterprising citizens should
at once take steps for the building of water
works in order to prevent a more serious con-
fagration.
At meeting of the town council Monday
night the following ordinances were passed:
To offer a reward of 500 for the arrest and
conviction of the person causing the fire Sat
urday morning. September Il. which burned
four business houses on Main street; 10 require
all persons who wish to build in the business
section of the town to obtain a permit from
the council. and all buildings must have roofs
Of slate or metal, with interlining of asbestos,
and foundations of sll buildings not built OF
brick or stone must be built subject to the IN
spection of the mayor and council.

JoHxsTovS. Pa, Sept. 22.-Brutally as
saulted bv negro, who kept her in his
clutches from 2 O'Clock yesterday morning
until o clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Thomas
Boggeu. of Patton, was more dead than alive
when released by the satiated brute, when she
was taken to her home by teamster who
found her on the roadside. The alarm was
spread, posse quickly organized and search
for the negro begun.
Mrs. Boggen left home yesterday morning
To visit her mother. who lives in st. Boniiace,
few miles north of Patton. She never
reached her mothers house.
Mrs. Boggen, who is 80 years old, says she
met the negro at lonely point in the road.
As he approached her he covered her with a
revolver and drove her before him into a
clamp of bushes. There, after beating her into
a state ofinsensibility. he repeatedly assaulted
her. Every time she revived and attempted
to free herself he pounded her with frightfui
cruelty. Finally leaving her. she was able to
drag herself to the roadside, where she again
tainted from her effort. When she finally re-
gained consciousness she was in her home,
the teAmster having placed her in his wagon,
aud there taken her. Her physicians enter
tain but faint hope for her recovery.
