Badly Burned. IThursday afternoon about 2 o’clock ■ Mrs, Samuel Shaw, living on Bluff I lt;street in the second ward, was en gaged in blacking her kitchen range sdth a mixture of stove blacking and gasoline, and while rubbing the side of the stove set the vessel containing the fluid on the stove. There being a small fire in the stove at the time the vessel exploded, casting its contents over the unfortunate woman. Mr. Shaw, who was at home at the time, siezed an old cloth and with the greatest difficulty extinguished her burning clothing. Her face, breast, shoulders and hands were badly burned. Drs. McCollough and Pugh were called and dressed the patient’s burns, pronouncing them very bad but not necessarily fatal. The accident is a peculiarly sad one, as Mr. and Mrs. Shaw are the parents of a large family—six little children—the father being a day laborer. At the time of going to press Mrs. Shaw was improving, but it will be many days before the scars pass away and she be able to take up her household duties.
