Then all was confusion, and the survivors are not very clear as to what happened. . Miss Douglas opened the door but for some reason closed it again without anaking her eseape. Perhaps with true avomanly instinet she turned to save the helpless little ones. _ Vanallan scized a ;mmd still hoping to smother % 1 m, but before he know what he was doing the room was literally full of blazing gas, and he was just able to stagâ€" ger to the door faintieg and half suffocateu. COs o PHR SLEEP OF DEATH. All this time not a sound came from the doomed ones inside the house, and Vanâ€" allihnâ€"siys he only bkeard the wailings of Morland as he staggere1 out of the house with beard and clothing both on fire after a vgin attempt to.save his wife and little onef by groping wildly about in the mass of seething flames inâ€"doors. A door at the " bae¢ic ot the house was burst open and a window driven in, but the house was literâ€" ally full of blazing gas, and it was imposâ€" sible to enter. In the meantime the three 5 lo.)lprlw. Henry, and little Charlioâ€" ‘ had mangged in. some way to escape, bui ~ â€"Mrs: Motiand and Miss Douglass, and ‘ Lizzie, Sarah, and baby Morland were ‘‘fHever ‘seen‘ agnin. Meantime . the young amen Hough and Rambeaun lLad not beon‘ alarmed as parly as thosq downâ€"stairs,| . though it . presumable they were not aâ€" sleep. Tough sprang from ths window, while Rambeay threw himself Load first «‘dowsn‘ the ptairs, Both were still aliva this aftermoon when L visited the seeone of the disaster, and hopes are entertained of Hought‘s ultimate recovery, but poor Ramâ€" beau has no chance whatever. â€" Heis frightâ€" fully burned all over. Some parts of his person are entfrely burned away, his ears being so , charred that they crumble to pieces when touched. He is perfectly conâ€" seiousâ€"and rational, however.

Vanallan, wishing to get rid of the last of it, ignited it. He .Allowed a small space to burn off, and ‘then put it out with his foot. _ Then he i lit enother spot which was also smothered, »amd these dangerous operations appear to Lhave been repeated several times. At idength _ Morland _ lighted _ a _ piece «o _ paper _ from _ the _ little fire which Vanallan was waiching and with it ignited several spots on the floor in rapid succession. . Almost immediately after this had been done the flames began to mount higher from the floor, and waver and tremble as though they were not confined to the oil on the floor. Miss Douglas seized a pail of water to throw upon the floor, but F P uitgthih n Qveugin is dn Psn ciscacinnd d is Morland itoppod her, and attempted to beat dowu the flames with the broom. At Vanallan and the Morlands came home, apd found Miss Douglas, and the two young men Hough and Rombeau still out of bed awaiting their arrival. The young men nqm' to out the horses and carry in the gs g:: of the sleigh, and then they burried off to bed. HoW IT OccorREp. Mr. and Mrs. Morland, Mr. Vanallan and Miss Douglas remained up, however, and waked up two of the children, Sarah and Charlie, to l6t them try on new boots that had been purchased for therm. Among the things which they had brought from Belleâ€" } ville was a fiveâ€"gallon glass demijohn filled with coal oil, and covered with the usual wicker or basket work. Charlie was walkâ€" ing up and down the room to try his new boots, and just as he came close to it, it exâ€" ploded with a report similar to that of a revolver, ‘ard immediately the oil, which had been expanded by the heat of the warm | room, and the gas or vaporgenerated by Athe rapid rise in the temperature begaa «pouring ~through the small openings in the wicker work with a sharp hissing ~sound similar to that made by escaping steam.

It seems that Vanallan, who is getting out logs in the meighberhood, was boarding at Morland‘s along with two young men in Vanallan‘s employ. These were Simon Rambeau of Napamee, and Minor Ho@gh, whose home io ‘mour " Belleville. ~There were besides tkesds in the household, Morland‘s six children, as follows :â€"John, aged twelve years ; Henry aged ten ; Lizzie, aged cight; Burah aged six; Charlic, aged two ; and a baby boy some six or eight months old.

Two heavy masses of cinder that have been found are supposâ€" ed from their shape to be the head azd shovlders of the two women, but not a trace of the little ones is to be found. Of the three little boys that escaped only one is burned at all, and that not seriously. It is thought that the distracted father must have thrown theose little fellows dut of doors without knowing how or when he did it. The ruins of the little cabin are still smoking, and the suddenness with which the calamuty overtook the doomed houseâ€" hold is marked by an ugusual amount of utensils and furnishings, the blackened reâ€" mains of which are lying directly beneath the spot were they were used last. Both Morland and Vanallan are thoroughly â€"soâ€" ber men, and neither of them had been drinking anything yesterday. Mrg.
