 The Connecticut Light g. Power co. is named defendant in a $3,OOO civil action filed in common pleas court today by Katheryn A. Sweeney who charges she was severaly burned about the face and hand while at- tempting to ignite Q pilot on 8 gas furnace purchased from the defend- ant.
 The furnace was installed in her home, 67s Oakville avenue, by agents of the defendant on September IS, 1884, says the complaint. An agent of the defendant tempered with the thermostatic control and damaged 1t 50 that the furnace had to be oper- ated at full force at all times, the complaint alleges.
 The plaintiff was not instructed, says the complaint, in the operation of the furnace under such conditions and while attempting to ignite the pilot with a paper taper, the gas flame shot out and burned her hand and face about the eyebrows and hair, according to the complaint.
 The suit charges negligence on the part of the defendant in the actions of the agent.
