Burned to Death in London.
is soon told. Mrs. Smith, of Centre
street, London West, was assisting Mrs,
Slater, wife of William Slater, the well-
known tailor, on the "V" formed by the
convergence of Park avenue and Rich-
mond street, whose houre adjoins the
tailor shop. Being in a hurry she went
to stimulate the fire with a five gallon
can of coal oil. The flames sprang up
like a flash, igniting the oil in the can
and a terrific explosion followed. All
who heard the rep.)rt compare it to the
discharge of a heavy piece of artillery.
The can was flattened as if a locom-
otive had run over it by the force of the
explosion, and the showers of oil satur -
ated Mrs. Smith's clothing and set it on
fire. One eve witness states that she
was knocked down by the force of the
explosion, and lay on the floor for the
fraction of a second it took the flames
to burst forth. However that maybe,
she got up without assistance. and was
making her way out when Mr. Slater
came to her assistance. He tried to
beat the flames away from Mrs,
Smith's head with his hands, but as
that was impossible, he ran back for
some woolen material to throw over her
and smother the flames. Mr. Luke
Jeffries, grocer, of 601 Richmond street,
darted across to help the unfortunate
woman, as soon as she appeared, and he
was the second man on the ground,
Mr. Jeffries pulled off his coat as he ran
the one hundred yards from his place
to where the woman was lying, and
threw the garment over her, fighting
the fla es like a hero ; then Mr. Slater
returned with blankets and between
them they managed to smother the
fierce flames. The fire was so hot that
both men were severely burned about
the face and hands, and while holding
the blankets down one corner got loose
and a tongue of flame flashed up and
burned Mr. Slater's beard off.
While the sufferer was receiving
every attention, the men and boys who
had gathered around went into the shed
which was filled with smoke from the
burning oil, and with pails and pitchers
of water extinguished the fire that was
rapidly gaining a headway there.
Dr. Mitchell ran across from his ofliee
in a very few moments after the asci•
dent, and assisted in smothering the
flames that were destroying Mrs. Smith.
Under the doctor's care she was gently
lifted up and, with such care as was
possible, placed in a cab and driven to
her own home, where the doctor come•
pleted the dressing of her injuries, and
did all that was possible to relieve her
sufferings.
The victim of the accident is Mrs.
John P. Smith, of 46 Centre street,
London West. She is so badly burned
that very faint hopes of her recovery
are entertained. Her legs suffered
most severely, but the body is burned
all over, not a spot of whole skin six
inches long can be found. [Later on the
same day the unfortunate woman
breathed her last.]
Mrs. Smith was born in the township
of Blenheim and has lived in London
many years. She was an earnest work,
er in the Salvation Army and her
remains were -interred by that religious
body on Monday last.
[The lady whose terrible death is re-
corded here was the mother of Mrs.
Ferdinand Voigt, of Mildmay, Mrs.
Angus McCurdy, of Fordwich, but form-
erly of this village, and Mrs. Henry
Hoffman, jeweller, of Hanover. The
unfortunate lady has quite a few ac-
qnaintances in Mildmay where she has
spent some time visiting with her
daughters.—En.]
From the London Free Press.
An awful sight was witness on Clar-
ence and Richmond streets on Thurs=
day morning last. A terrific explosion
like the report of a heavy cannon, was
heard in a small shed behind Mr.
William Slater's residence, and then,
with screams of mortal agony, a woman
rushed forth; completely enveloped in
flames, and standing upright in the
boulevard for a brief instant, fell head-
1Qmg to the ground while the fierce
flames consumed her clothing, and
burned away the flesh. As the wan
rushed from the shed into the#pen air

An alarming accident occurred on the
Niagara Falls Electric Railway on Sat-
urday. The observation car, which
should leave Chippewa at 2 o'clock, was
twenty minutes late in starting, and the
motorman intended to make the round
trip in twenty minutes less than the
usual time. The car started at a ter -
rifle rate of speed, which did not dimin-
ish on the down grade towards the sus-
pension Bridge. When just opposite
the whirlpool rapids the c.: r left the
track, jumping toward true Niagara
gorge, only ten feet away, In its wild
leap down the hill the oar struck the
trolley pole with such force that it
turned at right angles with the track,
and the rear end of the car lay within
three feet of the brink of tiie awful
gorge of the Niagara. .T-i.e pole wag
shattered and the passengers were
thrown from the car. The oiotorhiau
