FIERY BLAST KILLS 8 IN ONE FAMILY Father, Seven Children Die When Lamp Explodes in Girl’s Arms. By the Associated Press. ST. EMILE DE LORETTEVILLE. Quebec. April 20.—An exploding lamp : sprayed blazing oil over Alphonse Renaud’s small Summer cottage here ! today and Renaud and seven of his children burned to death. A servant girl, who was trying to light the lamp, was the only person to escape. So swiftly did the little structure bum that volunteer firefighters, though quickly summoned, could do nothing. The flames burned out in just an hour. Charred bodies of the victims were recovered from the mins. Mrs. Renaud, ill in Quebec, and one Renaud child, who was visiting his grandparents there, are the only mem- j bers of the family surviving. Renaud, employed by a Quebec contractor, rented the tiny cottage for the Summer and moved in last evening with his children, five boys and two girls, the eldest of whom was 13. They were trapped in their beds. The dead, Alphonse Renaud, Andre. 13; Jacqueline, Paul. Roger, Jean Marie, Antoine and Gizelle. Marriage Licenses.

The same principal has now been adapted scientifically. In a German factory scores of girls, protected by masks and overalls, are employed to squeeze the venom from the stingers of live bees. ■ • Deaths Reported. William D. P. King. Hu 484 Mass ave.
