WAS VICTIM OF
+ j. OIL EXPLOSION
Petersburg Young Woman Poured
combustibIe Fluid From Can to
Stove With Usual Result.
Especial to the Daily Press.)

PETERSBURG, VA, June 19.-Mrs
Eva Tucker Fuller, about 81 years old
wife of Irving Fuller. nm employee of
the Virginia Passenger and Power
Company, met with n tragic death last
night at her home in the western part
Of the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller were married
only few months ago. and lived han.
PLY together III neat little cottage
home on the Seahoard Air Line road
near the Battcrsca farm. MI. Fuller is
a motorman on the street railway.
Abont G:3O o'clock last evening Mrs.
Fuller began the preparation of sup
per for her husband, who, mt the time,
was away Mt his work, running on the
Sycamore street line AS s,talas, too
often the case, the young woman used
kerosene oil in forcing the fire in the
stove. She poured the oil from n can
held directly over the stove The fire
reached the can and caused IFS explo-
sion in her hands
The blazing fluid was scattered all
around and Mrs. Fuller was Immediate.
ly enveloped in flames.
No one was in the house to assist
her in her peril, and the unfortunate
woman, screaming in pain and calling
for'aid, ran ont In the yard and fell in
n swoon.
Neighbors came to her ms quickly as
possible. but the flames had done their
work. Her clothes were burned off and
the body was terribly injured. Besides,
the flames had been inhaled.
Every attention was rendered the
sufferer, both by neighbors and physi-
clans, but to no avail. Her desire was
to see her husband, and he was sent
for as quickly MS possible. Death re-
suited at about II O'clock
The fire department was called out
and the home of the couple was saved
from damage
1t is recalled, as sad coincidence,
that twin sister of Mrs. Fuller's was
burned to death in the same manner
several years ago, at her home in Bat
tersea: She was kindling a fire with
oil when an explosion of the can oc.
cured.

IN THE POLICE COURT
Alphense sFiuilaly Made a TearfuI
 Plea This Morning.

R
 Alphonse Mullaly was thrown out of saloon on Bank street about 2 o'clock last night and he almost fell into Officer Flaherty's arms. Soon i crowd of 300 had gathered and not one would give the officer the slightest assistance to gather in the kicking and biting Alphonse. He was so fearful this morning in the dock i'll the city court that he was hardly able to speak He seemed to be about 30, yet he cried like child and said that in all Boston, where he came from, no one could say word against him. He was given thirty days in jail for in toxication, $5 and costs for resistance, and $5 and costs for breach of the peace.
 Mrs Martin Leo said her young son Martin was good boy, but the record ing angel of the city court, Probation Officer Combellack, held otherwise, at least his records did, and the old lady's plea was of no avail. Her son went to Brookside for thirty days William Hubbard will keep him com pany for the same period.
 Timothy Quinn was arrested ill ths Wayside Inn. A man told Officer Claffey that Quinn had taken his kit of tools and apparently disposed of them, for he did not have them when taken into custody. He was fined $a and costs. Judge Peasley held court.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

l Hubert Cunningham Is on the sick
 list.
 -Mr and Mrs Frank Myers have returned home and will take up res 1dence at 595 Riverside street. -Alderman-elect John Malone, who has been ill the past week, is now fuily recovered and last evening was present at a meeting of his forty five team.
 Last evening Officer Erickson put one of Dan" McGrathfs dogs into the Land of Nowhere. The animal had some kind of disease so it was de- cided to end its snfferings.
 The whist and forty-five tourna- ments, to be given by St Patrick's parish, are only one week away and the players are putting on the finish ing touches preparatory to hard con- test.
 An unusually large number of the sports, several of them accompanied by their lady friends, went to the game in New Haven today. The gen eral opinion is that Yale will win al- though there are some who think that Princeton has chance to come out the winner.
 -The Brooklyn firemen certainly held their own in the parade yester- day and none of the other houses mas anything on the one in this section. Because of the hour being late wnen the water test was over, the safety commissioners decided not to make a tour of the houses.
 The Orients and Cadets could not come together and will not play at the Rye lots tomorrow afternoon It begins to look as if the Cadets will go through the season without meeting either the Films or Orients as the lat ter do not seem to be desirous of meeting the Juniors.
 Last evening surprise party was held at the home of Fred De L- guori on North Riverside street Many of his friends were present and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Songs were rendered by Charles John son and John Mahaneyl and duet by the hostess and Miss Bertha Dressel. Refreshments were served.
 The Rev. Benjamin F. Root. pas tor of the Third Congregational church, will give lecture in his church on Tuesday evening, Novem- Der 21, at o'clock, on "Thle Life and Career of Abraham Lincoln" This lecture will be illustrated with magnif- icently colored pictures, presenting most graphic history of one of the greatest men in all history.

Tl,KET NOW READY
Democrats Making Plans. Thayer
 Slated For Nomina lion.

Recently number of we'll known democrats were in consultation i'll New Haven regarding the political outlook and they framed a tentative ticket to be nominated next year. The opinion seemed to prevail that the temper of the times calls for the non- nation of men more or less radical. and it begins to look as if the ssufe and sane" fellows, as they style them selves, will not get "a smell of oppor- tunity next time. Moreover, 1t looka as if the rank and file, the hewers ol wood and drawers of water, will come pretty near to the control of the next democratic state convention to the ex- clusion of the kid glove and silk stocking, conservative variety. Plans are already making for an aggressive campaign and it is predicted that the bosses will be told to go away back in the next convention. It will be convention similar to the one the Bryan men controlled in 1886, when Chairman "Clint' Davis of the state committee and his affinities were forced to retire.
 The tentative ticket which has been suggested to the faithful is as follows:
 For governor, Charles F. Thayer of Norwich.
 For Acknowledgements Edwin c. Pinney of Stafford.
 For secretary of state, James NJ. Sullivan of New Haven.
 For treasurer, Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport.
 For comptroller, Ex-Senator Fuesse- nich of Torrington.
 For attorney-general, Joseph F. Tut tie of Hartford
 For congressman-at-larg William Kennedy of Naugatuck.

STRUCK WITH A STONE
Han From Rocky Hill in Row on
 Benedict Street.

There was a row on Benedict street last night in which Benjamin Brennan of Rocky hill, Hartford, was a partici- pant and came off second best. To be sure he didn't get square deal, for in- stead of using natures weapons he let drive with rock and took the man from Rocky hill in the side of the head, knocking him silly, besides putting cut in the side of his head which had to be cared for by physician. The in- jured man was taken into the office of J. E. Smith X Go, from where word was telephoned to the police station and Superintendent Beach hurried a couple of officers down there to see what it was all about. They re- turned with Brennan, but he was so worried over the condition oY his head that he scarcely knew his own name After the wound was dressed and he had rest he was much improved and was able to shift for himself this morning.
