Gasoline is an extremely dangerous article to handle. From the careless use of it, Miss Lillian Cassidy, a domestic employed by Sam Barnard, of Ypsilanti, died last Friday morning at her home in Detroit. The accident from which her death ensued took place some weeks ago. She was cleaning her gloves with gasoline. After thoroughly cleansing them, she held them some distance above a gas jet to dry them. In a moment they had ignited, terribly burning her about the hands, arms and chest. She was removed to Detroit a month ago and ever since the fire had suffered the most excruciating pain, never recefving the slightest use of her arms and only death came to her relief.
