This is companion case to No. 307, — opinion in which is rendered contemporaneously herewith. The main difference is in the fact that here it is alleged that the plaintiff's intestate was an employee of Edwards & Jernigan Furniture Company, Inc., in the performance of her duties in the store at the' time of the explosion, as result of which she was injured and killed. The principles applied in that case are applicable to and control decision here.
Affirmed.
