GASOLINE BOAT BURNS.

The Lewis-Lankford-Tu Co. s launch
was nearly destroyed by fire last week
while lying at her berth at Wheaton.
She had been closed up for day and
about dinner time her operator, Mr..
Balderson, went aboard intending to
light fire in the stove and warm his
dinner. AS soon as he opened the door,
a colored man that was with him said
that there was strong odor of gas.
Balderson replyed that that was nothing
unusual and struck match and in
stantly an explosion took place throw

also badly burned, the engine fittings
melted off, and a first class battery
ignition was soon in ashes. But strange
to say the tanks did not explode although
the house was burned from around and
the seams on top of them-three in mum
ber-were melted open. When the tank:
were emptied after the fire about twenty
gallons of gasoline was taken out. The
launch is now at Owens Railway

WELL KNOWN HORSE DIES.

DR.. C. T. Pierce was recently called
upon to administer chloroform to the
well known mare, Florence, belonging
to George Turner, of Molusk. Old
Florence won the first race ever trotted
on Kilmarnock fair grounds and took
first place thereafter for several years;
making the fastest time of her life at
the age of % years. This noted mare
created more excitement at this time
for her style and beauty than any other
horse in the Northern Neck. Mr..
Turner was offered a handsome sum fol-
for her at that advanced age, but would
not sell. She was 80 years old this
spring, and of course was on the decline
although full pint of chloroform was
given her before death occurred. She
was nicely buried by her owner with
all honors due dumb animal.
