There Was No EXPLOSION,

An exchange tells of san explosion
of IA gasoline stove" in millinery es-
Enlistment. OF course there was
no explosion of gasoline stove.
There never is. Gasoline stoves do
not explode. There is nothing to
make them. The fire in the millin-
cry store was because of somebody
doing something with II gasoline
stove or with can of gasoline that he
or-probably sie-had no call to do.
Take a screw cap off the top of a
gasoline tank and drop lighted
match into the opening and the tank
will not explode. The vapor will
burn at the mouth of the opening
when it comes in contact with the
air, but it will not-expiode. And still
gasoline is dangerous, very danger

A gloom of intense sadness was
cast DER Linden and vicinity on
Wednesday of last week by the
shocking accident which occurred
at the Granville mine in that village,
resulting in the almost instant death
of Nacie Charles Granville, youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Clan
vile of that place,
AS Mr.. Granville held in aAraised
position the trap door over Weymouth
of the shaft, for the purpose of letting
two young lady visitors get some
idea of the vastness of the shaft. or
rather, he had just relinquished his
hold on the door to one of the young
ladies who stood on the opposite side
from him, when something which
appeared to them more like bundle
of clothing than a human body
dropped swiftly past them from
above into the shaft. Inv &c igation
proved it to be the body If young
Granville. BY some chance the youth,
unknown to his father, had mounted
the scatfolding erected over the shaft
to facilitate hosting which was done
by machinery, and the cause of his
accidental fall at such an inoppor-
tune moment will ever remain n
mystery. From where he fell to the
bottom of the shaft is something ov-
er hundred feet. When the body
was brought to the surface life was
just ebbing out. The back of his
skull was fractured, bones in arms
and legs broken and body badly
bruised.
The sad news spread with accus-
toned rapidity and crowds of sym
pathetic friends were Immediately
at hand to render whatever aid and
comfort lay within their power.
On Saturday the funeral was held
and large concourse assembled at
the family residence to pay loving

Nacie Charles Granville was born
in Linden about fourteen years ago.
He had developed into a bright and
beautiful character, and for youth
of such tender years no one could be
more sincerely loved and admitted
He had laid his plans for good ed
ueation and useful life, and no doubt
would have attained the height Of
his ambition had his Ike aud health
been spared. But death has inter.
vened and removed him 10 a higher
sphere, while the indulgent, atfec-
tiouate parents and family remain TO
lament and ponder Ger the mysteries

yards up stream, stopped down and

awhile he lifted nice brook trout out
OF the water and put 1t into the keg
