He was engaged in burning caterpillah from some trees, with coal oil, and wishingto add more oil he stood on a chair and poured the oil on the flames. Like a flash the flames shot up to the can, there was au explosion, and instantly his head and body were enveloped in the flames of the burning oil. Not knowing what he .did the un- fortunate youth ran wildly hout the field, his clothes dropping ir' n - him as he ran,while his mother, with a wet quilt in her hand,vainly attempt- ed to reach him, until he dropped exhausted. Even then she was somewhat burned in her efforts to stop the cruel work that the fire had only too surely accomplished. The boy was carried to the house and a doctor summoned, who did what he could to atleviate the interims pain, but at the same time pronounced the wounds necessarily fatal. From the crown of the head to about the thighs, he had been horribly burned, his flesh literally cooked, and had. even inhaled the flames and injured the Ing, M hie own request opiates w Int) administered to him, and after Lel ee hours of awful physical suffer- ing, death ended his agony.

Your correspon- dent, in reporting it, misrepresented the facts. He says, owing to some mismanagement as well as several leakages in the hose considerable water was thrown on the street instead of on the burning building. The statements are false in every particular, and I defy him or any other one to show of an instance in which there was misman- agement. With regard to throwing water on the streets, it is as the! rest of his assertions untrue. All the leak- age in the hose, causing waste of water, didn't amount to anything, which any intelligent person could have seen had they been, there after we repaired our suction hose. Any delay we had was on account of the suction hose bursting and as we have no prophets in our company, we were not made acquainted with the fact that the hose was to give out at this particular time. No practical or intelligent person would for a mo- ment call the bursting of the suction hose mismanagement. I believe your correspondent was ignorant of what he was reporting or in other words did not know the muse of our delay and for want of a better explanation called it mismanagement. 1 would suggest to him the advisability of employing a person, who is competent, to assist him in making his reports, or otherwise retire from the business, and let some one take his place who will report the facts of the case he is dealing with. Trusting that yon will publish this contradiction in the next issue of the Naw ERA, I remain yours, J. M. Ross, Chief of Blyth Fire Department, Londesboro.
