ably Die of Burns.

Joseph yerville, who was badly
burned Sunday morning while pour
Ing kerosine oil on the kitchen fire at
his residence, Il Temple street, was
reported very weak late Monday night.
DR.. A. L. Desjardins. the attending
physician, had little hope of his living
through the night.
Verville arose about o'clock and,
scantily dressing himself. went to the
kitchen to light the fire in the stove.
The wood was damp and would not
burn readily. Verville procured a can
of kerosene oil and poured little
over the smoldering kindling wood.
A puff and the flames were stream
ing into the nose of the can; a bang,
and Verville and the room were aflre.
Thinking that he could put out the fire
on his garments by winding wooden
clothes about himself. verville rush
ed to a door opening into another
room; but found it locked. Turning
about, he dashed through the outside
door and jumped into a snow bank,
which was near the steps.
With nearly all of his clothing burn
ed off and his arms and body so bad
ly singed that the flesh fell off in sew
eral places, Verville returned to the
house. Mrs. Peter Rheaume. who re-
sides in the next house, heard the ex-
plosion, saw Mr.. Verville rush out of
the house in flames, and was the one
who figured prominently in the check
ing of what might have been a bad
fire.
