TWO MEN ARE BURNED

Richard W. Murphy Meets Death in Accident Near Guilderland Center Early Saturday Morning — State Road Employees Enveloped in Flames When Bonfire Ignites Kerosene.

Richard W. Murphy, 30 years old, of Albany, was burned to death, and Clark Holt, 50 years old, of Guilderland Center, was seriously burned when a two-gallon galvanized iron kerosene can exploded near them in a field near the cross roads, a short distance from Guilderland Center, early Saturday morning. Holt is in the Homeopathic hospital. It is believed he has a good chance to recover.

Murphy and Holt were employed in a construction gang repairing the state road between Guilderland Center and Altamont. The laborers live in a shack near the road while employed on the job.

Early Friday night the two men went to Guilderland Center for some kerosene for the lamps at the road camp. After getting the kerosene they stopped at Borst’s hotel where, Holt admitted, they drank heavily. Shortly before midnight they left the hotel and started back to the camp across the fields. After walking two hours the men became lost.

When it grew cold, they built a small fire and crouched near it. Impatient to learn where they were, the men poured some kerosene from the can and set fire to it, to provide light. The flames ran along the stream of kerosene to the can which exploded.

The flames ignited the clothing of both men. Murphy was badly burned in the explosion and was unable to rise. Holt tired to extinguish the flames in his clothing but was unable to until nearly all his garments were destroyed. When he tried to attend to Murphy, the latter said, according to Holt:

“I guess I’m going to die.”

Holt finally made his way to Guilderland Center where he stopped at the home of Jay Warner and asked for help. Warner called Dr. Frank H. Hurst who dressed the burns, and then took Holt to the road camp in his automobile.

Early Saturday morning a search for Murphy was made, but because Holt was unable to direct the party to the scene of the accident, it was several hours before the body was found in a field 35 feet from the scene of the explosion. It is believed he crawled along the ground in an attempt to get aid.

Coroner Warren S. Hastings and Dr. Fred Myers took charge of the body, which was removed to the home of Murphy’s aunt, Mrs. Margaret Murphy, at 132 Jefferson street, Albany.

NEW LINGERIE.

Suggestions for Women Who Make Their Own Underwear

Women who do no other sewing sometimes make their own lingerie, at least part of it. Although the modern lingerie is so dainty, so elaborate, it is quite possible to make it if one follows the new patterns carefully, for they are, of course, designed by the best designers that money can hire, and they are, withal, practical.

To begin with, there are the usual patterns in the new silhouette. All underwear has taken on flaring lines. So there are patterns with a flare for all the lingerie one might desire.

There is the new petticoat that measures from three and a half to four yards around the bottom, a petticoat every one will need to wear with the summer’s full skirted frocks. Such a petticoat can be finished in scallops or deep points at the bottom, or a straight flounce trimmed with lace or ruchings can be used. And it can be made with or without an extension under the flounce and with or without a dust ruffle.

There is a most attractive pattern for a nightgown with revers, back and front. There is a V shaped opening back and front, and little revers turn back from the opening. The gown is belted in at the empire waist line or left hanging, but the belted form seems prettier.
